There is selection tools, like: lasso, Polygonal Lasso Tool, magnetic lasso Tool...you can find them in the bar located in the left corner of Photoshop window. Just select object from the image, the copy and paste to other image.

I hope you using PS :D

Use the Polygonal Lasso Tool (or the pen toll later on when you know how to use it.) If you cant find it right click on the Lasso icon.

I don't know about you guys about I use the marquee tool. Just select the part you want to cut out, Ctrl + C(Copy) then use Ctrl + V(Paste) to another document. If you want to cut out the WHOLE image, just Ctrl + A to automatically select the whole document with marquee, the copy and paste.

excellent job for a first sig. you are in the stage where you have chosen a good render and have used some nice brushes, and done a decent job of not making it look pasted on. now try to do three new things:

a) define a significant light source. make the whole sig react to that light somehow.

b) establish a flow. the sig should make the eye naturally move from place to place in a way that makes sense.

c) work on havnig the render blend into the sig so that the two are one rather than individual layers.


nice job for a first-timer, better than most!

when you shrink your renders be sure to hold the shift key as to not strech them out. And use the corner squares to minimize cause int he sigs you just made both renders look too streched out or too big

Advice, just use your tools smudge, blur etc to let it look better/blend it in
