Due to some cofusion with my other tutorial, i'm posting this one to discuss how to cut out a render. Let's get started:
Step One:
Open up your image, and go to the Layers window, then right click on backround, and click add alpha channel. Like this:
Step Two:
Select the build paths tool. If lost, it is this one:
Step Three:Zoom in
Use this button to zoom in to about 400%
Step Four:
Begin your path. By clicking, you add an anchor. You want to get your anchors as close to the image you want to cut out as possible.
Step Five:
Clicking again will get you a Link.
Step Six:
You can grab the boxes or the link itself to mold the line to fit your selection.:
Step Seven:
Clicking again will create another link between the other link. Unfortunatly, and if anyone knows how to counter this, you have to create a new anchor, then delete it, then select the last anchor, then create a new one to successfully create a link in between.
Step Eight:
Do this for the rest of your render. When you get to the last link, hold control and click the anchor to close the selection ,it is important that you do this.
Step Nine:
Now go back to your layers window, and click on the "paths" tab. It is this one:
Step Ten:
Now you want to select your path, and then click path to selection. This enables you to cut your selection out of the picture.
Step Eleven:
Now go back to your picture, and it should be flashing.
Step Twelve:
Now right click, and click cut....Make sure you cut and not copy.
Step Thirteen:
Go to your image you are trying to get the render into, and Right click>edit>paste....
Your render is in your image now.
Step Fourteen:
To resize your render, go to Layer>Scale layer....This wont work if you have already anchored your render into the image.
Step Fifteen:
Go back to the layers window, right click the pasted layer, and click "anchor layer".. This adds the render to the image.
Questions welcome, may be a bit confusing.
