Okay, I am a PS noob. I have no idea how to use it. I was wondering how you cut something out of a picture without the rough edges. Like when I do it with quick select then it has these weird un-pro looking edges. Is there a slow- select with pro-looking edges? Help meh!

You edit the settings.

Lasso? <.< polygonal lasso? may be those?

erm.... look for pen tool cut outs on Youtube.

okay i have another! How do I make a gradient start in the inside and go outward?

At the top left of the screen should be some gradient things. You are looking for one that is exactly as you described. It is a black dot that moves outward to white. There is also one that is reversed (not point because you could just switch background/foreground colors anyway...) Hope this helps. If not, I post pic.

On your first question, if you are using CS2 (maybe) or CS3 (definently), you can go to filters>extract. Select around what you want and then fill in the area. You can also trace and use the auto detect which gives a fairly good edge estimate. The best way to do it is by hand, though. Unless you have a render (a white/black/green background with only the subject in it and nothing else. Google it)

Just thought you ought to know.
