Photoshop help needed (serious one please)

[missdiane]

Can anyone help me please,
I am trying to do flyers to promote my business in social areas, and I don't want square looking pictures.
I am crap with PS, in fact I don't even think I have anything like it on my computer, It would take me two hours to find out how to do it I am sure

Can anyone take the background out of this necklace? just the exterior, not interior
and the bracelet- make it oval with graduated border (vignette?)
Sorry I am crap with the right words for the processes

Next time I will post it in the Lounge, it seems to attract more helpers, either that or add a lovely looking young lady into the picture
Sorted now anyway, did not get desired effect but not far off, used an online photo editing thing in the end

I had a quick look this AM but (1) did not understand what you were asking for and (2) did not have time to post a detailed "what do you mean" question! Glad you got it sorted though.

Wheelie Girl might have helped as well

For future reference, try to photograph it against the right background to begin with! All the vignetting and stuff can be done easily, but doing a suitably good job of editing out background patterns is a complete pain. Better to find a local haberdashers or craft store then get a few metres of different cloths. It won't cost you much, and if you get an assortment, you can try out differing colours against different items of jewellery.

Now, how much is the necklace? That would make a nice Christmas present for my wife.

I wanted it vignetting for a flyer, and didn't want the square pictures, wanted a nice rounded and softer look on my flyers- hence the request, it wasn't that I was unhappy with the background

I was quite happy with the textured backgrounds, took them last week- went to B&Q and claimed to be painting my lounge and wanted wallpaper samples
They are a bit more interesting than the plain white I had been using, been taking pics on white backgrounds for a few months now and never happy with them, they tend to come up a very grey tone- varying grey tones depending on how bright the sun was

Kermit, trust me to put up the most expensive one from the website, think it's up for £29, if your interested mail me, I can do you a deal

If that's the most expensive, it sounds like a bargain!

What's the address for your website? I'll have a browse for my sister as well at those sorts of prices.

I'll stick it on my profile
