Ok heres the prob. I take a picture of a person. i scan it onto my computer and to use it in db i need to make the background around the person black. It would take forever to draw around the person so i was wondering if there was any program that did it a bit faster?

actually, you can set the color you wish to be transparent in DBPro. I did it the other day with the Set Image Colorkey command.

Get ahold of Paint Shop Pro, even a demo copy and use the Magic wand tool. Although this is similar to the MS Paint's tool aswell.

traditionally in photoshop you create a new path around your object then transform the path into a selection then inverse the selection and you have captured the background for whatever purpose.

Its called deep etching and its seen quite easily in print design.

look at magazines with products on clean white backgrounds then take a hard hard look at corners and smooth areas and you will see sometimes bad deep etching path glitches in the form of small straight lines which should be a curve.
