sorry about that, as always the musicians were late on stage!http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y293/chauffeur_99/0e4fca70.jpg

Mmmmmm... beautifully aged spruce(cedar??)/rose leftie dread with what looks like a dodgy strumming method plays off fresh spruce/rose OM.

And loads of pretty dodgy magic wanding going there too...

Firstly - musicians are never late (cough)

..and what happened to the back of his guitar? Didn't you like it?

Im a complete newbie to PS and would welcome any constructive comments as to my dodgy magic wand!
As for the dodgy strumming....these are two of the best blues players in the UK,and yes the lefthand one does play lefthanded upside down!

Blacked out some of the guitar for no other reason than I thought it looked cool.

Didn't mean to be rude if you took it as such!

The magic wand tool can be finely tuned - take a look at the properties at the top of the Photoshop window once the magic wand is selected - you can adjust the sensitivity, the anti-aliasing etc.

In this particular case, it looks as if a straight selection using millions of clicks on the polygonal lasso tool might have been the better option, or maybe just a less sensitive wand setting.

I'm curious - what does the original looks like (and who are the guitarists, by the way)?

[chauffeur99]

Thanks for the tips deadlock, rather not say who the guitarists are, they can be quite precious about their amininity when it suits them!

Have a look at "feathering" your selection too. That'll help soften the edges and smooth out the ragged edges on the curved areas.

PS CS has a edge finding selection tool might have helped in this case - then feather it a bit, it smooths things out somewhat
