I either scan or photograph silk flowers and then cut them out using the marque tools.

Yvette, do you do anything to the edges after using the marquee tool? Whenever I use it I always have jagged edges. Drives me nuts. I'm sure no one else would really notice it, but it still drives me batty.

Check out my gallery, thanx!!

You can try Edges/Soft and see if that helps.

Well that makes sense....Could you sell them though if you scanned in store bought ones?

I would think yes... people use those silk flowers all the time to make crafts that they sell... just my thought...

re: edges - I try to photograph or scan on a really different color of paper (different from the flower) then I use the magic wand tool set at about 25. And as Kim mentioned soft edges I usually do between 1 and 3.
As far as selling - The one I use the most came off a box of easter chocolates 2 years ago, so I'm not worried about copyright issues on it! LOL

Gotcha...totally makes sense...I am a nut about copyright...freaks me out
