This tutorials on my site. Thought i'd share it with u lot cause i'm nice like that lol.
---------------------------

Though the magic wand can be good for some things, using it is not a good way to create renders. This tutorial will show u how to render an easy image, and what you learn, you should be able to adapt on a harder image.

Step 1

First off, you will need a decent image to render. For this tutorial I have included a render to use:

View Render

Notice this has a green background.

Step 2

We need now to create a new image, the same resolution as the image (589 x 747 pixels) & make sure it has a transparent background. Copy and paste the render into the new file.

Step 3

Select the Polygonal Lasso Tool. We will be using this to 'Cut out' the image from the background.

Posted Image

Step 4

Go around the image with the Polygonal Lasso, keeping close to the edges:

View Image

then once you have done, go to Select > Inverse then Select > Feather > 2 pixels (experiment)

Step 5

Now press delete until you are happy, and you should get something like:

View Image

Save your work and you have a render.

Final Result:

Hope this helps

Great tutorial!! Though I do have my 2 cents to throw in. There is a better way to do this, using the pen tool though, but this is the best way for beginners. Overall great job!!!

With a green BG a tut is hardly needed, no offence. You could one click with the Magic Wand and get the same results.

this is true, but all i am doing is showing you how to do this method. i could of added a complex background to it. i will amend it soon (when i get home from college later) and re-do it with a complex background to get the point accross better.

Good idea, because people new to PS may still be intimidated by images with complex backgrounds. After seeing you do the tecnique with a complex BG then it will give more confidence to any new PS user.

Save it as a .png instead, better transparency and quality.

at the end select the outside then go...
select>modify.expand (1 or 2 px) then press delete and you get rid of that horrible jagged line and get left a smooth render.

nice tut, thanks for sharing...
And yeah, the pen tool way is definitely better, but this is a good alternate way of doing it!
Good Job!

Make sure Anti-aliased is turned on :P Nice result, but the pen tool would produce a cleaner render :D
