Tut: Extracting Using the Magnetic Lasso Tool

Posted on | August 4, 2008 | 2 Comments |

NOTE: This is a tutorial created in Photoshop Elements 6 but this function is also in Photoshop. Remember, if your background colors are just too close to whatever you’re extracting, try a different method (watch my other extraction videos).

Another digi page (but you can easily lift this using the traditional method). This picture is actually an interesting picture. She doesn’t sleep like this anymore but her daddy, when he was little, used to sleep like this too. It’s so weird! She’s never seen that picture and actually she was too little and as you can probably see was quite in the sleep zone and so this was all unconscious on her part. Aren’t our genes so interesting that way? Do your kids have habits that are similar or just like yours or your significant other?

I created this page a few weeks ago. I just haven’t had a chance to share it with you until now. I used Tara Sroka’s kit, just a variety of them, for this page. I extracted the hearts from a full page, from her valentine’s kit.

Speaking of Tara… due to personal reasons, she won’t be producing a lot the next few months. My CT business with her will be super casual which I think will be nice for me too. I’ll be with her until the end of the year and then who knows what I’ll do then. I think, unless something great comes a long, I want to focus on stamping, paper and hybrid with occasional digi just to keep up with what’s going on out there.

Hope you all had a great weekend. M and mine was great but hubby had to work. That’s also why M was with me all day Saturday at the crop… did I tell you this already? Ah… loosing my mind…
