Anyone Adobe Photoshop CS2 savy?

[Pokeman186]

I was wondering if there's a better way to get white off around a specific object other than magic wand and cut? When I do that, it seems to take away from some of the black lines around the object in which I'm cutting the surrounding white from. Anyone know how I can keep the black lines on, but still get all the white out?

Try setting the "tolerance" on the magic wand to a very small number.

I use Paint Shop Pro so I can't help directly. PSP has an eraser that you can set to erase specific colors... does Photo Shop have something similar to use??

I hope I'm taking you correctly, you can use the pen tool and create a path around the white, then convert the path to a selection (marching ants). Then create a mask and mask the selection out, to do a mask see my simple masking tutorial http://photoshopmask.blogspot.com/ - sorry some self-promoting.;)

The best way to do this is as follows
take the lazo tool and draw a boarder around the item u want
u dont need to get close to the boarder at all just make sure you go around the out side of the object u want to single out
then if you look at the tool bar to the left towards the bottom you will find a tool that looks like a circle inside a square your going to hit the one to the right
this will make a mask - then u will use the bush tool to add and the eraser tool to take away and go around the board - u can use different size of bursh and eraser to get the hard to reach places one you have the out side boarder all selected press the circle inside the square buttom and bam your boarder is selected!

there are a million effective ways to do that. The best is probably to zoom in really far and use the polygonal lasso very meticulously, but it will not be fun.
