Default Photoshop help please someone..

Right, a mate of mine runs an ice hockey school.
They are trying to get an image of his late mate Guy as the background for the website.

I have a photo of Guy on the ice, which they want made into a silhouette. The silhouette would be a cutout of guy and his hockey stick.

Can anyone chop the pic in this way please?

Would really be appreciated. Then his memory lives on

If you are stuck mate I can try - think I can figure that one out, but experts prob know better/quicker ways of cutting things out. If you are trying it yourself use the help on the magic wand tool? D

Anyone wanna give this a go then?

Image is here. CSOC Gallery: Click image to close this window

Basic idea is to cut the outline of Guy and the helmet, stick etc out and make is solid black

Gonna give it a go myself now, but would really like to do it the best as possible.

Now I REALLY want to know how to soften edges myself. It aint 'smudge' or defocus or the blur tools AFAIK.

Try selecting the image and then using Feather. Experiment a bit with the amount until you get what you want. HTH
