Now that your subject is black and white and looking cool, we are almost done. Use the color selection tool found in the select menu. Click on the color white in the layer. Press okay. Everything that is white should be selected. Press DEL to erase all that ugly white. We are just about done.

Notice that small strip of white on top of my subjects arm? We don't want that either. Zoom in and repeat that last step, clicking on that color in that strip and deleting it. Repeat as necessary throughout your image. I found quite a few in mine.

Once you get all that white out of there, flatten the image and, voila, you're done! Remember, this is supposed to be fun. Get some images of friends in fun, in your face, poses. Let's see em!

Thanks for reading my tutorial. If you like my other work, leave a comment or two. I have only been shooting since July 2008 but am really progressing thanks to this site. I shoot in full manual now, something I had no idea how to do just a few months ago. I hope to start selling some work soon.
