Okay I stink at this kind of work: I’m trying to isolate a helicopter and remove its background. Not really sure how to make the edges realistic. Soft opaque brush in Quick Mask? Extract filter? Combination? Some other filter? I don’t have a tablet unfortunately (I think this would be easier if I had a real pen to use instead of the mouse — my hand’s not that steady). This is the best I’ve gotten so far, but the edges are far from realistic:

Any technique suggestions? That zip is the Photoshop file. The original image I’m working with is on the 2nd layer but not visible.
Ugh. I do lots of layout work but not that much photo editing.
Thanks for any suggestions. Please don’t be too critical — I realize this file is not in good shape yet.
Thanks, Phyllis
