Tip Tuesday – 08/17/2010

    Superb tutorial A.J.
    If I’m honest I’ve never made use of the Background Eraser tool; always opting for masks or Blend Modes for compositing but having seen this…well, I think I may just well be having a play :)

    Great tutorial as always Buddy,
    Keep up the great work,
    Glyn

    Thanks for a great tutorial A.J.
    I too would’ve normally turned to layer masks for this task but this seems like a quick ‘n’ easy and effective process – love it!
