I appreciate all of the tips and I apologize for my frustration. But you know how it is when you start to use a new piece of software. I'm cutting out an image right now in PSP7 :goof: (never use PSP8... very buggy and unstable). I'm gonna have to ease into Photoshop... it really is a different way to work.

If you can get a copy of PSP7, try cutting out an image with the smart edge lasso. I use 2 or 3 px for feathering and then I go back around the image with the eraser at 11px, opacity 20, hardness 0, density 100 and I feather out the image some more. When you get to a part that was accidently erased, right click the mouse while using the eraser and the image comes back from oblivion! Easy!


** Note to Adobe... implement this in the next update and I will love you!
