I'm sorry I can't help but I'd love to wake up to that face!

LOL! Thanks for a good laugh, too cute. One time I tried eliminating the background of a pic of my cat that was in a tree. Wanted the background all black, so I put the photo file into "Paint" and manually "erased" the background with that little eraser icon. TOOK HOURS. Worked, but my hand got tired from moving the mouse around so much. That's the only suggestion I have if you don't have the photo shop software on your computer.

I'll see what I can do for ya....will return tomorrow cuz I have grands tonite...........will work on it after I take em to school in the am...what a cutie he is...LOL

country bumpkin - I shot you an email with my version of the "eraser technique". hee hee. It gives you an idea what you can try anyway.

well, I got the kids to bed quickly and decided i'd give this a try...is this good? or do ya need it better?

I cant get to the top little part by his head, it's the same color as his hair and it drops the brown into his face! LOL he is a cutie!

here is another attempt..........

{{!gwi}}

It was hard to 'cut' around his hair, so I left a bit around it and then softened the edges.

Thanks everyone!! I'll print these out tomorrow and see if it'll work. If my plan doesn't work out, at least she's not expecting a gift for Christmas from me! We've NEVER exchanged gifts! lol

And one with a Christmas-y background.

You can't make a bad picture with that face. How adorable. Sweet of you to do this for her.

Lydia.......love how you did that! I used to have a program to soften edges, but it wont work in my new puter.......what program did you use?

I asked my DD and she did one for you, hope it helps.

Deb, I have a very old version of Printshop.

That IS sooo good....a brilliant demonstration. One day I want to learn how to do that! Nanny

That is a CUTE dog!!

You people all impress me with your computer skills :)

I can't believe the results. Oh, to be that clever!!

I'm glad others could help you, because that stuff is WAYYY beyond my comprehension! But that darn dog is just way to cute!!! :)

DD thought you might like a holiday background. It's all WAYYY beyond me too. Fun to see what the talented can do!

Gosh Ya'll are GOOD!! I love the Christmas background..but since this gift is to be displayed year 'round, I don't think the Christmas-y look will work!!

Really chaps me that's it's rainy/wet today. I'd planned on working on these blocks, but I can't spray the sealer on the pictures when it's damp..or it'll never dry!:(

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE what Lydia did. You are good girl!!

Moni

Such talent! You guys are really good!

That's great My DIL did one for me after my Youngest son died. It was a great picture of me, my son and his current wife. She took the wife out of the picture and did a wonderful job.
I too think you gals are great

You gals are really good. What a cute dog.

Wish I had had time to jump in and give it a try. I love this kind of challenge. It's what I do for a living, but this is a nutso time of year at the office and just couldn't squeeze it into my 18 hour work day yesterday. :-(

Well gosh Jodi...there's still 6 hours left in the day!!!!LMBO

Thanks again everyone!!

LOL cb, gosh that was funny. Cute dog, and I admit that there are people with amazing talent on this site. They've helped me more than once.

Wow, good job everyone! That is one of the cutest lil' puppy faces I've ever seen!

Sure beats the eraser technique. Good job, I have to say it again too - so cute.
