How did you select? Extract is about the best we've found and those all important feather/fur edges can be kept - though for some reason CS4 (why fix sommat that ain't broken) didn't have it on and we had add it on ourselves. The light effect on the wings is good - but I think the whole thing is a little dark IMHO.
Pat | Montage isnt really my thing i leave it to the experts, there are some great ones on photo.net that look really artistic.
I think i did the selection with the magic wand tool in ps7 but as i said earlier i did it as an excercise a few years back. Its a good way of learning photoshop and at the time i hadn't had it long, i think i could do a much better job of it now.
Ive looked at some cracking montages on a web site but cant remember which one and ive lost the link, they looked like salvador dali type paintings.
I might give it a go again one cold wet winters night and see if ive improved

It looks a little too dark and flat on my monitor, but it did touch up nicely. Overall as an exercise you did well. | Thanks graham, i was trying to make it look like id taken it at night with fill in flash.
How did you find the exif data? i dont see it

Strange how both times I wrote 'thought' it came out as 'though'
