Default Trouble with my chop

The pics are opening ok now.!!! Hello all; I am having trouble chopping my bike. I have tried the lasso's and the pen, but none are of any quality to use. I know some folks like the pen, and others the lasso. When using the lasso, there is a small background area left. How to you finish up with that background? Also, what tool do you use in small areas , like spokes. I try working at 100%, but just can't get it right.

If someone has time, would you please chop my bike? I think I can do the rest myself. Pics attached, hope they are good.





thanks

JD

first off your images we cannot see any use direct link
I use lasso on image and the spokes, free transform on wheels
what you do on spokes is enlarge the image thrrew navigator
have you tried the tutors here http://www.hdforums.com/m_1950600/tm.htm
first I chopeverythingaround bike out then start chopping bike itself small background areas are also chopped out you should just end up with the bike
If area is dark you can duplicate your image and brighten the duplicated image but remember to link both together and when chopping a area you have to chop both images as you highlight one from the other

If you look at your link and test them you will see the point to the main page of Photobucket as it is unable to find the file
Log into your Photobucket account go to the image you wish look underneather at the links
Pick the one that says direct link
then place it on this forum that should work

The edited post should have shown the links instead of opening the pics up automatically. You can right click on pic, go to preferences, and get the link to photobucket. Sorry

How many bikes do you have?[8D] Here's a psd file. . . http://uploadpsd.com/file/26664.psdand just let me know if I chopped something I shouldn't have or vice versa. It can be fixed.

If you want a much nicer chop of the bike later, you might want to get some new pics without the sun. You have a lot of shadows and glare going on there. Besides-shouldn't those wheels be turning when the sun's shining like that???

Ironhorselady, thanks for the chop, great job. I have tried using a pen, but not with any success. Do you use a pen or the lasso's?

Thanks again
JD
