Is there a way using a Solitaire to take a photo and delete all the content except the desired content and place this selected content in another picture or background? Photoshop can do this but as soon as you create a jepg, photoshop places a white background behind the subject.

One way would be to "fill" the white with green or black or some color that can be keyed out and use Blue Box world to key it over the desired background.

I don't know PhotoShop, but could you cut out the photograph as a brush and then paste it into a new background image?

CB PAINT does an excellent job of cutting out a JPEG to layer #1. Layer #2 is your background. Simply ZOOM layer # 1 foward. Layer #2 backwards.

Another method: Photoshop>Lasso tool. Cut out subject. Add to a GREEN colored layer.

Using PHOTO TRANSFER, IMPORT the scene with the cut-out into your Scene Bin via PHOTO TRANSFER.

Adjust the length/time of background and cut-ou (green screen) as to be equal in time.

Use the ZOOM in IP to slowly move your cut-out in the foreground towards the viewer.

Use the ZOOM to slowly move your background clip AWAY from the viewer.

.Add the Cut-out (green screen) and the background side by side to your storyboard

OPEN Blue Box World and go to the GREEN SCREEN setting and knock-out the green area. Use your transition setting to feather the edges of your cut-out and even ADD a shadow for depth to the cut-out.

After completion you will have the effect as requested. Background and cut-out will move. You will have to adjust the Zoom effect as needed to avoid pixelation of underscanning of both scenes.


BUT....CB PAINT is SO MUCH better as you can even use the ERASE tool in tandem with the LASSO tool in CB PAINT.
