I love this shot but it has so much junk behind the horse. I tried and not very successfully to remove some but it looks like I was having a spasm. I don't have any of the photo shop programs and only use Window Live Photo Gallery.
Anyone that wants can play with this picture.

Okay, I didn't need you to send it after all, I just drug and dropped it. This means the quality of the photograph was dropped as well. But after playing around with it a bit this is what I ended up with. I kinda like it but the original file would be easier to work with. What do you think?

CS4 Master Edition

You can download a free program called gimp or even picnik for editing your photographs... Just a tip, what could it hurt?

Photoshop CS4 Master Edition... It's used by many of us on here. It's a little expensive but worth it!

Here is one of my favorites of the stallion but again too much junk. This is the original file. The main focus is on all of his mane but of course with the body also. I wanted to use this one in a calendar contest but just couldn't and one so called friend wanted $100 an hour to clean it up. Not sure she could have anyway. Is there some way to take out the whole background and have it solid?

Alright, so with the photograph not being original i did what i could. " not original because it was uploaded to the website and then i had to drag and drop it into my folder" I.E. not original which brings down quality. Anyway here is what I could do with it. I am still an amateur at CS4 but this is what i got. let me know, thanks!

That looks awesome
Did you do this with Piccaso? I have it but I guess I just don't know the right tools to use or how to use them.

There I go again. Asking a stupid question before reading what you wrote. A good photographer friend told me that CS4 might be too technical for me. How do you find it to work with. Obviously you don't have problems with it.

I took a couple of minutes to try and see what I could do. I'll go back to it later.

Thank you for your comment!

I have been working with various editing programs for the past 5-6 years that i've downloaded for free i.e. gimp, Aviary, coral draw, and so-fourth. I'd label the usage of CS4 for the more advanced users, but it is user friendly as well. Plenty of video's on youtube to help you go farther with the program. It all depends on what you expect to get from the program. The main thing is layering and masking the photographs. I hope this helps. good luck and happy shooting!
