Hail the reader,
Removing the background from a picture.
I am reasonably au fait with the use of the cut out lab method for removing the photo background, however I visited a laser company and the person there used the bezier tool very effectively, pulling the nodes around the head and shoulders of the picture and so eliminating the background.
Can somebody please tell me if there is a good tutorial on this - like
1. do this2. do this etc
Preferably a pdf which I can read as I go.
If not can some one tell me how I may learn to do this?
Thank you

Hi Jeff,
I believe you have a macro which can remove backgrounds to a photo, leaving say a head shoulders of the person we require to engrave - please tell me more.

Like previously mentioned, learning the tools is the way to go, but an alternative approach....

Hello Jeff,
Thank you for the quick response/help.
My main function (90%+) is to remove a face from a family photograph and use that face only in the work I do.
So the backgrounds tend to be pretty much multi-coloured possibly going right through the 256 range.
I could convert to grey scale, as I use all my completed work in grey scale only, no colours.
The photos I work from are all coloured photos to begin with.
Do you have anything that may be more suitable for my purpose... even perhaps make a macro that may work.
I am not a computer geek, so please excuse if this is a ridiculous statement.

Nice to find honest people - certainly has me by the .... and curlies - but I'll learn in due time.
