I have PS 7 and I haven't had any trouble with the tutorials posted in this thread, even if they are For CS, CS2, etc. Have you looked back through the thread? There are many good tutorials listed and demonstrated.

ok, I have Gimp and when I use the wand to erase the original background before pasting it on another background I cannot get rid of the outline of the sim, especially if he/she has a shadow.  Help?

[sarah071894]

I really need help installing GIMP. Is it supposed to be in a WinRAR file? And I think every file in the GIMP WinRAR archive is some sort of text document that I barely understand. Isn't it called Readme or something? Sorry I'm being so annoying, I'm kinda new at this whole thing.

okay the tutorial alibno did is GREAT but, its not working for me what do i do?

[sarah071894]

I'm working on an 'illustration' right now, so hang on. ^^

Edit:

It's right there. Although I think this is an older GIMP, I'm positive that it's practically the same as with a newer version.
Good luck with it!

Sorry about that. I moved it to a new folder (which means the link changes) and forgot to re-link it in this thread.
It's there again.

Oh...okay thank you!!! Sorry about my rudeness before...

Hey. This is a tutorial on how to select a sim (or another object) from a plain background and placing it onto another background.

I want to cut the sim out of this picture:


and put it onto this picture:


First of all you need to select the wand tool from the Gimp menu.


Next, you hold down the left mouse button on an area of the background (the area I clicked is idicated by the red dot) and you will notice a zig-zag line appears around your picture (still hold the left button down)


Now drag the mouse down a little until that zig-zag line changes to fit the shape of the thing you want to select, in this case my sim, Aiyana.


Once the line has changed you can let go of the mouse and a black and white line should appear around your selection.


Then, right click on the selection (not the background) and click Select > Selection Editor


A box should appear. Click on the Invert selection button and make sure your selection is shown in white in the preview panel, and the background is black. Once you've done this you can close that little box.


Now you can right click on the selection again and this time choose Edit > Cut.


Next, open up the picture of whatever you want to post it onto (in this case a beach scene) and right click and select Edit > Paste.


You should have something like this. As you can see the selection is floating.


If you want to move the selection click off the wand tool (I usually choose the lasso icon or the box selection icon - the one circled in the picture) and then it will allow you to move your selection. When you're happy click and you should have something like this:


Welldone you've done it! If you'd like to brighten up your picture why not try my other tutorials so you end up with something like this:
