With so many exciting options of using pictures creatively it is possible for someone to cut out a pic and make it into a gift item. Well the last generation of hobbyists used to actually manage to say, ‘I can personalize gifts with cut out my pic with the scissors and glue and paste them on greeting cards. With digital pictures there are unlimited possibilities. The scissors and glue have been thrown away. The new generation need not destroy the memory of the print picture.  They have an option of using image-editing services to do something creative. And once the picture is cut it can be sculpted into any form or shape required.

The cut out feature available with Photoshop is incredible. It helps the editor to remove backgrounds from any kind of image. You could do it yourself but then the pros have a ‘kind way of doing it’ and in royal style. They can chop off areas and make interesting things in the visual. Now with this process after the cut out of the picture they can be sculpted in a very durable material like acrylic to produce a unique gift item. This is how it is done.

The image is uploaded in the software. The software contains many tools and features, also fonts for text to be added. It is a fun and easy procedure and the edited cut out snaps can be put on many products or items like coffee mugs, glass, key chains or bags.  Various image formats are supported for the edits. With a good resolution any image can be re-created as a lovely gift item. Many promotional gift items are made this way with this process.

And if you like some fun and entertaining snaps can also be made.

How about designing a lovely picture with your grandmother holding a dragon, which is breathing fire? If this excites you and tickles your funny bone here is what a professional team of editors can do:

A good resolution is the key to having a good finished result. If the photo is raster based, scan it and make it digital. For a cut out pic the idea is to have a larger base to snip-bigger the picture the better it is for cutting! When the program is opened the layers section is the first step to this exciting composite. Name the new edit as you work so that it does not confused with the others. The layer panel allows the editor to rename the image. The transparent layer is locked and by pressing delete a solid area is created. You can also use the Magic wand to remove the background layer. With the help of the brushes the solid area and the ‘grandma’s portion is cleaned. Zoom and check if the edges are bad. A quick selection of the two will help to rectify the problem. This is another picture that can be sculpted into a gift item for posterity.
