I was just wondering how to make a back ground in this picture http://business.transworld.net/files/2008/04/22/billabong-surf-skate-snow-wake_5043104c.jpg

A little nooby of a question but i have too know.

It has to be rendered

[wolfpack]

Are you joking....im not even gonna ask how to do that

Look at MreitZ's tut for 'How to Render'

Then upload it to Planet Renders (www.planetrenders.net) so other people can use it :)

Uhm...

Do you use GIMP? Or PS? In Photoshop, just grab the magic eraser on 32 and click.

[Darkthought]

no. That would screw part of that render up.

Rendering that would be too hard. But just some advice, in the future, if you want something transparent, delete the white (background) layer and save the image in PNG.

Rendering isn't hard it just takes time.. (well.. depends on what you use to render and what you're rendering)

:)

its hard if..
your using photoshop beta
and using eraser tool

its OK if you got GIMP or PS CS3 and use pentool/paths tool

I really like to use the cut tool on GIMP... But it has a mind of its own.... It has some intelligence and so it can guess where a cut is needed but sometimes it screws up and when u want it to cut somewhere... it cuts somewhere else...
