How about this...Take the picture of the butterfly on this guys hand and place it back in a natural surrounding. You can change it in any way as long as the butterfly remains a butterfly. Resize, rotate, change color, ect. Just make it look real.

I have already done this but I want to see some original thought before I post mine.

Good luck!

Basically Jynarik you just take the image you want to remove something from and select everything around it and delete it. I use several techniques to do this like using the magic wand, selecting color ranges, and then a lot of the time I find myself with the good ol' eraser on a high magnification level. More than anything it takes patience.

I took some screen shots. I have PS 7 and am not familiar with PSP but I'm sure there are a lot of similarities.

1. The first pic is just a image i quickly created with 3 colors and 2 shapes.
2. The second is the magic wand. I love this little guy. You can use it and select different color ranges and change the control of how much is selected.
3. Marquee tool...you can use this to select things with flat surfaces or to clear other areas of stray pixels.
4. Eraser. I just doodled around but I'm sure you have used an eraser tool before.

Hope this helps!

Maybe it will help you out. I don't know if thats the only way to cut images out or not in PSP but its one way.

I haven't used PSP7 in a while, so I can't help there, sorry, :( I can't see the files of the butterflys apart from one of them. Anyone else have that problem?
What is your question? I'm a little confused. Are you asking how to seperate the butterfly from the mans arm? If so then thats where you have to use photo editing software and remove the background. If its not your question please expound on it furthur.

Thanks Grant. That helped alot. Although using the rope/slicer is difficult, it always comes out bumpy and crudy looking.
Hmmm...Idk man...Photoshop is really easy to use and you get great quality stuff.

Remember, the more pixels per inch and the larger the resolution the less "jaggy" it is...

Sorry, what I was meaning was that I got an error message and the pictures wouldn't display. I don't know why it happened as it's working fine now.
