photoshoppers, a favour?

Hi guys, wonder if any of you photo shop gurus could do me a favour....










I need the backgrounds taken out of these pictures, basically just want the person and their respective sports equipment. I'm about as artistic as a wombat so finding it an ordeal myself.

cheers in advance

shouldn't be hard what do you want behind them ??


just white ?

yeah, what i actually want is to use the pics to create a banner, so im going to be reducing the size down to a height of 100 pixels and then use photoshop to add them to a banner...


If i can work out how to do it that is

will get to it in a mo then

gonna do it now just had to take my GF home



Edit :this is not why i took my GF home ( i dont like PS that much )

lol, cheers, i'm planning to then resize the images to a height of 100 pixels and then put them onto a black banner measuring 100 X 757, sort of partially overlapping each other to create part of a banner.

Just so you know what im doing and if it means you need to change the way you do something

the ones you asked for

dont know if its what you want but do tell me if its not



















and one you didn't but i do think you should include him











Edit : just noticed a few patches i missed

but there in the white space so you should just be able to paint over them ?

haha, good choice, much as i want him on my banner I think the rest of the forum guys would lynch me if i added him

So if i now want to put these onto a banner I need to make the white background area see through in photoshop, how would i go about doing that so that just the person can be transposed onto the banner segment?

if you use the magic wand tool (looks like a stic with an * on the top you should be able to select the white then i think if you press delete the should go away (maybe)

see if that works and if it doesn't then ask again XD

it selects the area ok but it doesnt actually delete it and make it see through, it just tries to turn it to white again....
