Try the pen tool. |

Is there any special way I should save an isolated image? Are they supposed to have a white or transparent background? |

You can use a transparent background if you'll save your photo in TIFF format. Then your object must be in it's own layer, and "Background" layer must be deleted. But more useful is to keep your object on white background and (if you wish to simplify your buyer's task) save the clipping path. This way allows to decrease TIFF file size or save your photo in JPG format if you wish. |

first shoot it as good as you can then open the image go to levels and click on the white eyedropper and then the background, BAM! thats it. anything left over just hit it with the dodge tool at 2% around hair and such. never had a complaint. |
Exactly what I normally do. :-)
But sometimes I go around the referred techniques too, pen/polygonal tools, magic wand, dogging/burning, contracting/expanding/feathering values, masks, and so on. Once you get through all of them, soon you'll intuitively chose the more appropriate path for each situation and you'll be amazed with the number of solutions by yourself. But then again, it all depends on the result of your shot.
Just my 2 cents :P |
