and got this
If you are happy mooching renders off other people turn back now.
Step One: Find the picture you wish to get your render from (believe it or not some people ARE this stupid).
Step Two: Copy and paste it into Photoshop.
Step Three: Using the marquee tool (i find circle the easiest to use but w/e floats your boat) cut out the large chunks around the image you have. You should end up with a BASIC outline leaving around a cm around the future render.
Step Four: Using a 400% zoom cut out the non-render parts using the lasso tool.
Step Five: After cutting out all non-render parts you could find zoom back out too 100% and in the background change the color from white to black or a color where you will gain visibility. I have this
DO NOT WORRY IF YOURS IS NOT THIS DEFINED.
Step Six: Once you can see the mistakes you have made zoom in to 600-700% and fix them. If it is a minor detail, such as hair strands that can be impossible to cut out without damaging them, just cut them out.
Step Seven: Switch the background colors until you are positive you have gotten all of it. You should notice your edges are VERY choppy this is normal.
Step Eight: Using the blur tool at 15-20% strength and 20-30px size run it over all the hard edges until they no longer appear hard, note: may be blurry this is fine.
Step Nine: After you are happy with your image (with the exclusion of blurry edges) go to Image>Image Size and change it to be 5-10% smaller than it was and the edges should look natural.
Step Ten: Enjoy your new talent
