I was looking at them, and Corey was standing next to me. And we were like ... what the heck are they doing??

And these are mine, from earlier today before everybody got there.

And this is one of my favorite pics! For some reason, John and I color-coordinated out outfits a LOT!

Do I Use Gimp to cut it out?

Aye, the free select tool. Looks like a little lasso.

 

[JadeOHayes]

For the 3-rd times, what are you two trying to do? Why is the background so 'busy'?

Zoom way in until you can cut easily.

LOL I like to wear red and black for some odd reason...

 

[Basil Darkratte]

I was going to use Fuzzy... lol

I'd use lasso to take the big parts then use 'Eraser' to the parts that are very close of touching your pirate. Adjust your brush size. Yes, you need a steady hand.

When I use the lasso tool, and put it around my pirate, do I copy it?

Yes

Yes. Put your background color box on white. Crop the image just around your pirate, then take the big chunks out of the bg using lasso. Then use the eraser with small brush tip to clean out the excess bg around your pirate.

Yes

Why are we like a choir, JJ?

Oh, and btw, you were SO on the way! At least you could've taken that Red vest off ... would make it easier for Basil to cut out.

hmm. the eraser doesn't want to erase...

What do you mean doesn't want to erase?? What color is it? You put the White background? Set the brush on 2 or something?
