Hi Trevan, I'm new to Renderosity too. Welcome. I remove figures from screen shots all the time... I also blend their heads onto other bodies too, but that is another subject. ;p... and then I remove the backgrounds and replace them with other backlgrounds. The easiest was to do this is to use yout Polygon Lasso... the regular lasso requires too steady a hand to do something as intricate as a whloe figure. and the magic lasso will leave you with too much edge work to do... it tends to take either parts out of the image you want to keep, or leave too much behind making for a rough look to the edges. Set it at a 1 px feather, and then magnify your image way up so that you can see the edged between your figure and the background clearly, and start selecting your figure. it is important when using the polygon lasso to click at frequent spots along the edge that you are selecting because of the belzor curve that it uses. the good news is that if your hand get tired, you can take a break and come back to it. Make sure when you are selecting that you place your selections line exactly along the edge between the figure and the background not to one side or the other. when you have finished selecting (you will see the moving dotted lines that my sister calls 'the martching ants') go up to select > inverse. now it is the unwanted background that you have selected. go to Edit > Cut. Your old background is now gone, and you have a realitively clean cut figure with slightly soft edges because of the 1px feather... the very slightly soft edge will help you make a smoother blend onto the new backgournd. now if you pick a background that has a fair amount of texture and detail, or is very close in color to the previous background, you will have to do very little work cleaning up edges. if there is a big differance from the previous background and you are seeing sharpe dark or light lines along the edges, put up a solid colored contrasting backgroud like white or red behind your figure and use the eraser on a low opacity... About 30% ... and with a fairly small soft edged brush... abolut 2 to 5 px. and gently erase any stay pixels around the edges. That is it for the selecting and edge cleanting part. I hope that this helps you. Cactuskim
