Heya Blade. Welcome to pSc. Ya got a decnt start.
Don't worry, everything ya wanna learn will come to ya--there's no place like here for learnin'. Believe it or not..give it a chance.
I didn't know a stinking thing about choppin' when I came here.
I still don't, but my chops please me now ..so..err.
Don't believe anything PaulVonStetina says about me.

whenever I chop something into and image I try to get the same lighting as what it's going into either with levels, brightness/contrast or something like that. Also run a slight blur around the edge of what your pasting in using a small soft brush to lose the cut look. One other thing is using your burn tool (check which setting will work best...hilite,mid or shadow) and shadow in some areas to give it depth. Hope that helps a little. All in all it's a good chop for being new to PS.

thank you all for the replies it has helped no end in what i am trying to do which is learn photoshop to the best of my abilites

hope i can keep up with some of your superstars on here

not for a while but you never know one day i might actually win one of the comps

PS that above is a pause so you can all laugh really really load and long

When I got here I couldn't chop worth anything.
But now I get more votes.
And Votes are all that matter
No, Just kidding, Dont get discouraged If you dont get lots of votes, just keep on choppin'.
