Your like that guy who has 11-12 of himselves doing different things in his room.. it's so real looking it's fricken scary. D: I forgot his name..

I did this as a school project a few years back

Just out of curiosity, what do you use to cut out the pictures? It seems as if you were not using the lasso tool (any of them) so I'm trying to put together other methods and I still can only figure out 2 or 3 things and they still wouldn't look that nice.

Confusion?

I think the best method is the Pen tool. and I shall splain why.

Your lasso tool...try to draw a circle with that...har har har..neva! not me anyways,

Your polygonal lasso tool. This is my second best selection method. And there is a good reason why I don't use it. When you get in there and you're click click click clicking away..you start to go faster and faster, because you're into it...suddenly, it seems as if your finger gets a mind of its own and clicks one extra time in the exact same spot...and when you double click, you close up your selection. no good.

Magnetic Polygonal tool. It could work..but I feel that what it snaps to isn't always what I want.

The Pen tool...You can double click, triple click, quadrupal click..you never close your selection....actually, it's not a selection *yet*. On top of that, when you click and drag, you can create rounded selections, which will definitely reduce the amount of clicking. When you're done with the selection, you just Command + Click on the layer and it will make a selection. Then, go back to the layer below, where you need your selection, and then do what you gotta do.

I hope to do a short video tutorial on extraction. I have a very nifty tip about contracting/expanding your selection and then feathering..and it makes your extractions look so much better.

Hope this helps
