Scott again Very good, I have a lot to learn. When you saved those back grounds did you leave them all open and then save as? Will they all be together in the same folder?
Thanks
Brian
Scott (NewPortraitBiz) Says:
Hi Brian,
The file that you are adding the backgrounds to will be saved un-flattened. This will keep all the layers in place and your backgrounds will be at your fingertips.

I would like to know how to cut your image out to be able to place into these backgrounds. BTW I have enjoyed watching your videos over the last few days I think I have learned more in them then any other.
Thanks

Cindy Ellis Says:
Thanks Scott. You make it look so easy. I have all my equipment, well, at least to get started.. good camera, a little lighting and backdrops and I have purchased many of your digital backgrounds. I figure I better practice a bit then I will add more backgrounds and more equipment. I REALLY need to get good at Photoshop, which I need to practice a lot. Thanks and I am so enjoying being in our club and watching your videos.

Hey Scott,
Great as always, but I don’t understand where the other backgrounds came from or how to drag over. When I do it I have both screens up and click onto the move tool and fight for one screen to get into the other screen. Is there a way to click it over to get it centered?
Thanks,
Suzanne

For the people who are concerned about being able to do the hair and such, check out Vertus Fluid Mask. Its relatively cheap software and works great as a PS plugin.
