After scrolling around and selecting what I want to isolage, most of the hard work is done. I've found it's faster for me to use the lasso tool while holding down SHIFT (to add to the selection) or CTRL to remove from the selection. I've had problems with the background eraser, either it eats into what I want to keep, or leaves too many artifacts around what I'm trying to isolate. Like with PS, there's several ways to do things. Is there anyway to erase all of the blue background at once? (I'm using a chromakey blue background) I know I can click and drag to erase, but that is a total pain. I wanted to know about background eraser and masking.Īs far as the eraser, I want to do some portrait shots and remove the background. Thanks for the replies, here are my questions.

I think PSP is just a little behind the times now but maybe they will catch up in future versions. Most of its limitations can be overcome with free downloads to add functions like curves and masks and the RAW converter is great. I now use PSE 3 which I upgraded to for $50 from the version 2 that came with my camera and I am very happy with it. And PSP does not support color management which is a major issue if you are serious about printing your photos. Some of the advanced tools they tout - like the noise filter and RAW conversion just did not do it for me. I tried versions 8&9 but never saw the need to upgrade. PSP really is a great program but I stopped upgrading at version 7.
