Photoshop has some excellent masking tools (for a price [xx(] ). The one I used for this is called a "lasso" tool, which allows for detailed cutouts; though, if you enlarge the photo, you'll see I did it in a big hurry. Actually, I bought the application because I'm also into genealogy*, and I'm forever coming across old photos which are in rough condition. Photoshop offers a terrific "healing" tool that is very useful for removing creases, stains, and etching. But, it's got many other uses as well. Another member here has done some really great work in blending his layout into "real-world" outdoor images. My hat is off to him for his work.*Ah, yes, genealogy!!! Another expensive hobby (research memberships, computers, travel, postage, fees to local, state, and federal agencies for documentation). And plenty of eccentrics, perfectionists, and nit-pickers. Model railroading rivet counters have absolutely nothing over a fanatical genealogist (and I count myself among the very worst of the lot).
