Photoshop help

I can do some clear GIF'ing, but not some pipcs that require them to be a perfect cutout and with a clear background.

Can someone work some magic on this one?



I want to play a joke on my boss.
We have those Hesco barriers going up around work for the flood if they have to release water this winter from the Howard Hanson dam, there is a separate thread on that.

I want to take the biker (I can do that much) and put it on top of the Hesco like he is riding it, then print it out and slip it on the bosses desk

I failed
I used Photoshop, but I can not get rid of the square outline around the biker.

Thats not bad, can you hide half of the front wheel to look like he is going over??

Sorry I can't help you with the photoshopping.

I can drag it lower, but the wheel would still show.
I want the handlebar to show too.
Just that ugly black outline I can not get rid of.

That wall there is 3x4' Hescos.
Most places around our complex are only 8' high, but in certain spots they are going 12' high like here.

Worse case scenario we could have 7' of water on the other side
This should keep the water out of our buildings.

Thomas, that is perfect.
I also had used an old MS app called Microsoft Picture It! 99.
I opened up the main picture, then brought in the GIF I made in Photoshop of the biker, then dragged it to the main pic.

I know it can all be done with PS, but I am not that skilled with it.

There's some stuff around his rear tire.

To take that black box off, just use cloning.

I used the clone stamp to edit out the outline. It looks like a little rubber stamp, hold the alt button and click.
You did a good job of moving the picture, that's actually harder than clone stamping.

I haven't photoshopped since I was in middle school. Back then it was a program by microsoft called powerpen or something.

Here is the original without the bike.
I looked around with for other mountain biker pics, and that one seemed to be the best with the guy jumping.

I had the spandex shorts and later the bibs.
I liked the bibs the best back then.

Now I have much looser and comfortable biking shorts.

I hope you were referring to the spandex, not the Borat speedo!!

That would be terrible to see on a bike.
