Thanks Richard. I'll check it out. Hair can be a real nightmare...I had a helluva time cutting out that golden retriever on my Taking a Leap pic...Wish I knew about a quicker method back then.

As for what I do...I cut it out roughly with the lasso, put it in it's own layer and then erase the parts I don't want...After that I use various filters and such to get the lighting right, etc...so that it integrates more realistically. But as already stated, there are many other ways to do this kind of thing.

PS LMAO at Tom/Hawkfyr!
