Oh... I can show you how to cut out that Baobab tree in about less than a minute. You need to learn "Channel Masking" as well as using "Calculations". PM me and I will either help you or find a tutorial for ya.

No indeed it is strange, I don't know hot it vanished! I do silly things sometimes but not that kind of silly
So I repeat: cutting off the plane was OK but the baobab was worse...

There are a few ways to take care of that ghosting along the edges. Of course using a brush at first to mask them out or trace around and fill it with black or white, but you don't always have to do that. You can Clip a Hard Light Layer on top of the tree (doesn't have to be Hard Light but that's what I use most of the time), then sample an area nearby and brush away the ghosty/haze stuff. I tend to use the clone tool for this instead of brushing as it's easier. Also in your Layer Styles you can try an "Inner Glow" (using various Layer Blend Modes, Opacity, etc) which can get rid of a great deal of that junk. I did something with a house a while ago and it had just a tad of residual blue from the sky. A brownish Inner Glow got rid of it which saved me a ton of time rather than trying to mask or paint it out.

Thanks

I found it looking for St Exupery's plane. It was just a good looking vintage plane to me, never thought it was a warplane. You should do the same

Next time tell me before the entries are finished please!

I think he's using a Swiffer.. so no.. worse than doping LOL

Creamy cupcake, though the filter does give it a "meat" feel

I don't see how that is possible, I'm not using Photoshop for the objects in that picture , it's a program called Twisted Brush, unless you're familiar with it, how can I explain? Hell I'm not even familiar with it myself...just learning still...

What CMYK46 is trying to say is that you do not need to post your sources in the SBS, a link is enough.
The SBS is just there
-a- IF you want to explain how you made an entry this is voluntary.
-b- IF you made your entry with just the source and no extra sources an SBS is mandatory.
-c- IF a mod asks for it.

However you'll need to post ALL your sources, so far there's only the clouds.
