Use the lasso to cut out your picture, then move it over to the bacground picture. Then use the Magic Eraser to erase the leftover pieces of background you brought over from the original pic. (You need to highlight them with the magic wand first.)

There is also an amaizing way to cut parts of images using Pen Tool, borders are very smooth. Monalisa

I think 'magic lasso' is probably an infringement on the Wonder Woman copyright. Wink

It isn`t easier, it looks much better, there aren`t any trash pixels near borders Programming

I`ve just found a rather interesting video about this method - http://www.elijahtaylor.com/articles/article.asp?id=64
Actually, there are a lot of tutorials about using Pen Tool
(if you begin to use it, you will understand that it is the coolest Photoshop tool) peace

welcome Askura. It's great to see another Condor!

Hi everyone Wave2 Fantastic new avatars! I've been away for a while, so I've lost the track of what's going on (199 posts to read). Is there avatar production going on somewhere? Wink1

I always do this when cutting and pasting an image:

Roughly outline the part you want to cut, then do so.

Paste into a new window.

Get busy with the erase tool - set it to be the same colour as the new window's background, and make as small as you feel comfy working with. Don't be afraid to enlarge the image for fiddly bits.

Use the select tool to outline the image, then reverse the selection.

Copy and paste into the picture you want it into. Takes a lil' longer, but I find it gives a nice smooth result.
