Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here it is...


I'm working on making a banner for another forum and I have this much done so far...


Now I want to crop him out of this picture and put in on the left side of the banner, but I have no idea how to do that...


Thanks for any help and sorry if this is posted in the wrong place...

You can try the background eraser, although that might be hard since the background color is not distinctively different from your subject.
You can also use the freehand selection tool. Put the selectiontype to 'edge seeker' and fiddle around with the different settings if it doesn't seem to work. Make sure you are working on a raster layer (promote backgroundlayer if need be), so that you can delete the unwanted background and make that area transparent. Look up 'freehand selection' in your Help menu if you need more info on how the tool works.

Good luck!

yeah, use the edge seeker. I also feather my selections when I am doing a collage so that I don't have a hard edge.
