Hello all ^-^.

I've recently returned to here and my siggie (though I love it so) feels so very old because I had it last year when I first signed up. So I was messing around trying to get a Hwoarang related one to look good. (because he's my current obsession beside Keira Knightley)

Anyway, it says this area is for questions, and the Hwoarang pic I wanted to use has a white background. Now I know in PSCS2 you can use the magic wand, select white, go to modify and expand to get a bit more and then delete the white, but his hair is sort of spikey and it leaves a fairly obvious outline.

Unfortunately, whenever I purposely go around to get rid of it with the eraser the edge then looks all pixelly and...well not nice.

Anyone know a trick to get it to -not- do that? I hope I've explained myself okay >-<.

Thanks in advance anyone who can come to my rescue :p.

    You could send it to me and I'll clean it up the best I can if you want. :) I tend to do that sort of thing manually.

    Trust you to pounce on me hun :p. *snuggles* Alright :p I'll have to put it into it's own little world so you don't see the rest of the siggie-badness though *blush* My first attempt at a proper sig and it didn't go sooo well :p.

    yeah you could render it, i mean if its a white background the outline should be pretty easy to render.

    I could attempt to fix it too

    Well if you want to have a bash the original picture I want to work with for the siggie is (hopefully) attached with this message ^-^. You don't have to do all around if you don't want, I'm only planning on using like his head and torso and things. But don't worry if you don't feel like it :p Fox is having a go too ^-^.

    Done!

    Ehehehe... I added an... erm... extra. Easily removed. Hope this is okay, it should look good with any colour background. :)

    Will have to send via other means, can't upload the PSD here

    It's okay Balistix, she's got it to me now ^-^ Thanks for little aiding suggestion though ^_^

    ...That isn't meant to be patronising or anything, so sorry if it sounds it, just didn't want your post being ignored :p.
