My first attempt at cropping a pic - what do you think?

I took IttyBittyKitty's and PCB's advice on cropping and I tried it with this picture. Ignore the backround, I just wanted to put some color to it. :p Anyways what do you think? :)

Great job!!! :D

Good job! :) I think it looks great! Did you feather the edges?

That's really good! Great Job Liana!:)

Thanks guys :)

PCB, I tried blurring them a bit. How would I "feather" them?

W:eek:W! My first attempt didn't even have much of the original pic left lol...I was horrible at it. What program are you using? I use photoshop but for any program, I use bigger brushes..maybe 40 for that pic and I make sure it's the "fluffier" eraser and not a solid one...that way, I can erase just enough to make it look nice and smooth. Also, feather works. I think for photoshop, you right click? I'm not sure..I haven't used that feature in a while.

Thanks Ash. :) Yeah I use Photoshop 5.5 (that's why I'm not sure if I have this feature. I'll have to check).

It looks great Liana really nice edges, I've also been trying to make some sigs in my free time ( I made my sig with Ringo in the star) I'm going to try to post another I've been working on:D

A very good job of cropping. :)

Beautiful. Congratulations on a job well done.

Thank you very much guys! :D I needed to crop come pics for Mick's site and I didn't want to bug PCB like I did once! :o

Primabella, you did NOT bug me when you asked me to crop Mickey's pic! I was more than happy to do so!

I made a pic trying to explain to you how to feather the edges when you crop. I hope it'll help!

Ps. I usually keep it at 5 when cropping. I find that 4-6 in the best, depending on the picture.

I tried IttyBittyKitty's zooming suggestion. What do you think. Its Muffin cropped into Popcorn's picture. I didn't take much time doing it carefully though. I was just testing the zoom feature. :p Which do you think is cropped better, the pic below which was cropped with zoom, or the pic in my sig, cropped without zoom and feathered?

Now, what I want to know is how you get that picture into another picture?!

You can have different Layers when you're cropping Pics, at least mines like that, I use PhotoImpression and I just take maybe 5 pics crop them down and put them on one background:D

I guess that's my problem. I don't really understand the "layering" thing. could you expalin a little more?
