cutting out an image

[chrismcb]

I'm trying to figure out how to cut out an image. There is a tutorial "cutting out images the easy way! Version 2" (unfortunately the instructions are in the image, thus not searchable.)

Step 4 is the part I'm trying to figure out:

"draw a line around the border of the object... Rember to take advantage of the nubs..."

What does it mean by "nubs" (well it looks like something I can use to control the line, but) And is there an easier way than drawing a line around the object?

Thanks

That's about the easiest way while still maintaining a better quality than Magic Wand-ing it.

The 'nubs' are the square shaped things on the line itself. If you can't see them, pressing the control (Ctrl) key should make them appear again.

And using the right mouse button to manipulate the nubs will give you Bézier curving which will produce a much smoother curve than using the left mouse button.

Perhaps this should be brought to Ash's attention as he is the author of the tutorial rules. It makes sense to have the instructions searchable does it not?

If you mean not searchable as in you can't find the tut.

You can use http://www.google.com/cse?cx=0178119197 ... &sa=Search

If you mean you want to search the text within the tut.

Yes, search won't work with "image only tuts"

But it's not a long tut, you can see everything easily.
