You do not need a tutorial for cropping. The only thing that is necessary is patience and a few extra minutes of your time.

Always select images with distinct boundaries so that you recognize what areas must be erased. It helps to create a bright and contrasting fill layer (red, lime green) behind the image to further develop a distinct background to work off of. Furthermore, make sure that you use a small eraser, as it enables you to crop with greater detail.

OK, Thanks for the tips!

Nice idea, but the cropping can REALLY use some work. You really have to take your time doing it and use a smaller eraser with the hardness set to about 75% to get some of the detail in.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. BBHD told me the same thing. I'm trying to find a way to get my cutouts to look really good. I've tried tutorials on goodtutorials.com, but I don't think it's really working.

Here it is

If anyone out there would like to try and make me an underOATH sig, I'd be greatly appreciative. I know that I'm currently sporting the one that I made, but I've become unhappy with it. Everytime that I try to make improvements on it, my inexperience with Photoshop gets the best of me. If at all possible, I don't want anything too flashy - just a simple sig...

I'm going to try to make one for you.

I was just teasin, no harm intended.

I didn't take it as harm, I was just explaining why there was so much blue. To tell you the truth, green is my fav color! LOL

Somebody likes blue, lol....

Well, the two sigs there are for teams with blue as their team color... cubs and yanks.

How's this?

I play for an independant adult's baseball league. I throw pretty hard compared to the other pitchers.

4 Seam Fastball-No movement at all. Just straight, and hard

2 Seam Fastball-Not that good. It sinks a little, and it's not that fast

Sinker- My best pitch. Breaks down and away from right hand hitters. That's my strikeout pitch. It doesn't fail me much

Splitter- Breaks parallel to the ground, but I have MAJOR problems controlling it, and in a lot of cases, it rolls away from the catcher

Slider- 9-3 trajectory. It has pretty good movement.

Changeup- Has no movement on it, but I can get it at least 15 mph slower than my four seamer.
