For my cutout I did a cat. I had difficulty at first because I couldn't figure out how to use the lasso tool. After trial and error, I finally created my cutout!
1. Cat: Casio Exilim, Malaga, Spain, February 2009, afternoon
2. Cat cutout: complete cutout with quick selection tool and lasso tool. Refined and feathered edges. Added contrast for shadowing.

This looks like a hard photo to use as a cut-out, but you really made it work! The fur looks smooth just as a normal photo of a cat would. I think you did a great job with a difficult photo!

Courtney! This is a really good cutout. The lines are cut really clean, but there still is a fuzzy quality to the kitty! Good job hun!
