:pointl: Extract with the pen tool like a pro :pointr:

I was a little fed up, and I wanted to help a bit those who don't know how to extract an object from a stock image properly.
So here it is, my little crappy tutorial! This is the first I ever made, I hope you'll find it useful and clear..

:pointl: :pointr:
All stock is mine.
Download for full size.
Don't forget to read the stock rules, credit and fav!
And most important, have fun!

Thanks for this. I get a good result using my own method, but not as quickly as you do here. I was in a photo "sweat shop" in Phnom Penh last month and the dozens of workers touching up photographs were all using a tool that I didn't recognize. I see here that it was/is the pen tool. Mystery solved and time saved by you for me.

Thanks

My favorite way to cut things out too.

Except hair.

Indeed, it doesn't work for hair ^^
Maybe I will make another tutorial for hair, but with the technique I know, it demands an image with really high resolution...
