I need help

[Ben_M_K]

Sorry if this is the wrong place but I have a question. I want to cut out an aircraft from a screenshot and put into a picture. I know how to put it into the picture, but I don't know how to crop the aircraft out. I'm using Ulead Photo Impact 8.

I hope you can help me out. I've been battling with this all day...

If it was Adobe PS I could help you, look for a selection tool or read the help files?

try the 'Magic Wand' or the 'Magnetic Lasso' tools...and if you got lots of asprin...you can do it with the regular lasso ...

...play around with the tolarence levels and stuff...

u can just use paint and past the pic and use the selet button to copy what you want

First off, I use PSP 9, so I can't give you an exact tool.  But in PSP I use a combination of the lasso tool with varying tolerances, and the 'background eraser" tool.   I don't prefer one over the other, it all depends on the shot.  But 9 times out of 10 I use both of them on each shot.

I get  the aicraft in the pose i want, and put it up to 100,000 ft (max alt) and no weather, select my angle and shoot, then you have a perfect shot of the a/c and only a blue background to remove, with the magic wand tool, tolerance around 25, but down to 5 if the aicrfat and sky are simlar colours.

Pretty good idea!
I just spend hours with the erasor tool drawing round the edge of the aircraft. Fun fun fun.

[igorski]

am too lazy to do that, so i though, how can i get rid of the clouds, and ground (and make my FPS as fast as poss) lol.. 100,000ft

[Scottler]

and make my FPS as fast as poss

Which isn't necessary for a still shot.  lol

[igorski]

well no, but just for cycling round the a/c, make it run smoother and generally easyer to use, espec on my lower end system
