    I could probably super-impose a dog's head over any 2 of the 3 people in the picture. Not all three though.

    And that'd come to about $56.19; taxes included.

    Im actually trying to do that to another image my friend gave me. It is a scan of 4 of his kid's grad photos with the photographer's watermark. But, because it is a scan, I can't use either the magic wand tool, or the band-aid tool.

    I will give this a go when I get a chance, likely over the weekend. It looks like the magic wand tool will be best here.

    Use the pen tool instead of the magic wand or band aid tool for a job like this. Draw your path for your selection. Zoom in to 300-400%. you'll notice a a few pixels width area between the foreground and background elements. Trace your path in this fuzzy area. Its called siloing. It is how professionals do it, fwiw.

    Thanks, but I don't know how to use the pen tool, even after years of photoshopping. :)

    May be a good time to learn.

    I'm going to give you my little Photoshop speech that I used to give to my students.

    Photoshop is two completely different programs. It is the most powerful photo editing software there is and the most powerful 2-d creation tool there is. The one key to editing photos and creating original artwork in Photoshop is making a selection on screen. The most accurate way to make a selection on screen is to use the pen tool.

    To use the pen tool, all you have to do is click and drag in the direction you want the line to go. When the line you're tracing changes course just click and drag again until the line changes again. The key is don't stop when you click on subtle line changes. With harsh line direction changes its takes some practice, but generally speaking, a point before the curve and after the curve is all that is needed.

    Learn to write your name in cursive with the pen tool. End training.
