hello everyone. I just came across this forum, and after having used PSE 2 for about a year or so now (PSE 1 before that) am thrilled to have found this forum. I am looking forward to contributing what I can to this already excellent forum. although I am no expert in digital phototography maybe my "trial & error" process for creating good pics will help someone avoid my mistakes, thus saving them time, energy & frustration. as I have said I am no expert so I will be asking for advice MUCH more then giving it. lately I have been taking part of an image (magnetic lasso tool, move tool) and putting it into a new pic with a different background. so far I am pleased with my results, but I am really not sure if there is a better or easier way to do this. that said, I am very pleased to now be a part of this forum and I look forward to hearing from everyone.

welcome George ! Sounds like you are off to a mighty good start. I rarely use the magnetic lasso tool because i find it a little wacky but it works well with high contrast images. I use PE1 so my main tool of choice for doing what you are playing with now is the basic lasso tool. Sometimes I place a 1 pixel feather on it to give it a smoother edge…depending on the image…like with furry animals. Yes, do drop in more often now that you’ve found us. 😉

Hi George

Welcome to our great forum.

I also have the Epson 890 (and a Mac). What is this CIS ink system you mention?

Mark,
a CIS ink system is a continuous ink system. Instead of using Epson ink carts I have 6 – 4oz bottles of ink connected to my printer. The ink that is used is the equvilent of genuine Epson ink and produces excellent prints. As I am sure you know after printing several 8 x 10 pictures the ink in your Epson carts is already running low. The cost of this system (if I remember correctly) was $179.00 including the reset chip, which is needed so your ink carts always show full. The cost to replace all 6 – 4oz bottles of ink is just $48.00. Installation takes approx. 15 min. If your interested take a look at www.inksupply.com If you do alot of printing, as I do, this is the only way to go.
