Below are some photos that I have practiced my cutout skills on. I used two pictures that I took that I feel would best help me utilize the skill. The first set are of a pretty girl that I used a partial cutout on. On the second set are on a spring flower that I did a full cut out.
Partial Cutout
Pretty Girl - April 23, 2011 - 9:34pm - Rexburg, ID - f/5.6 - 1/6 - ISO 1600 - Nikon D3000
Full Cutout
Spring Flower - April 24, 2011 - 8:18pm - Rexburg, ID - f/5.6 - 1/6 - ISO 400 - Nikon D3000
I found the full cutout to be the most difficult to manage. I need more practice on refining the edges and using the lasso tool to smooth out the edges and make a better selection. I used the quick select tool in Adobe Photoshop to make my selections and then used several different layers to select areas that I did not want in my partial cutout photo. I refined the edges of my selections using the softness and feather tools.
