I hope they come out good. I just ordered them today from Vista Print. Each shirt cost me $10 with the special they were having. That was for front and back printing. I usually do the t-shirts myseld with the iron on transfers but I figured I would give them a try at this price!

They look fabulous!!!! Any tips on how to silhouette the pictures. Did you take them on plain background and easily erase the background or did you just use lots of patience! I would guess that patience is the answer.

I was already eyeing and admiring your signature pictures. The tshirts will look amazing I am sure.

No they were not taken on an easy to erase background. I use photoshop to cut them out. I use the "magnetic polygon lasso" It only takes me a few minutes. It is pretty simple like that. You have to "select all" first and copy and paste....then delete the background layer. Then when you "cut out" what you want it will be blank behind what you want to delete.

Sorry if you already know this. :upsidedow If there is anything that you would like to cut out I would be happy to do it for you. I LOVE photoshop but would not LOVE it so much if I did not go to school for it.

I use Photoshop Elements. I will occasionally use the lasso to erase but often find it is not as precise as I wish for it to be. I often spend way too much time erasing because I am quite the perfectionist. You must either have a better knack with the lasso or Photoshop is better than Elements. Yours look great! I just wanted to know if you had any tried and true tips.

The celebrate signature was made for me by Natalie (donatalie).

Yes, I think it is just LOTS of practice.

Do you use the magnetic lasso or just regular lasso? I CAN'T work with the regular lasso tool. It drives me NUTS. I only use the magnetic one. Makesi t much easier!!!!

I have used the magnetic when I have used it. It really depends on what I am erasing and how detailed the edges are... I guess with more practice, maybe I'll learn to like it better.
