..THIS would be it:
This composited photo is really about Photoshop's Pen Tool. I had always wanted to learn how to use it and, just recently, ran across a video tut which really opened up things, a bit, for me. I had watched many videos on this tool, but there was something that always escaped me about the Pen Tool. I would imagine that folks who have really had a relationship with the Pen Tool would see what I learned as taking a kindergarten kind of approach to using this tool. But it has worked for me, and is the opened door to all the wonders which lay ahead - regarding the usage of this tool.
This motorcycle is only my second attempt at isolating an element from its background, and I can't WAIT to find something else to put this tool to work at. The extraction of this motorcycle isn't anywhere near perfect, but it is a great start for me. I wish that I knew how best to treat the fairing so that the background could have shown through it. But that will come.
