You would avoid cutting them so sharply from the start, ideally. What technique/program are you using?
oko030
Photoshop CS5, magic wand with tolerance, and then just experimenting with refine edge afterwards.
I've tried to use clone stamp tool before but there's something about the way I'm cutting them that means the clone stamp leaves a small border, doesn't colour the edges completely...
Edit: I altered the way I do it to try and include the clone stamp tool, I think it worked a bit better.

How does one use refine edge w/o first magic wanding?
Also, what do you think is the best/easiest way to cut hair? Eraser tool?
mons
There's practical tutorials in the OP for both the Refine Edge and Vertus techniques on Photoshop - have a look at them for further assistance...

The Refine Edge mediafire link is down, but I'll check out Vertus.

Theres still alot of 'dirt' or 'snow' around the image, check every image on a black background and most of all take your time, don't rush through cutting as rushing ends up with rubbish cuts, alot of the Charlton images have 'dirt' or 'snow' around the edges. also make sure you do THIS on every image
Just to add, you've made a great start to cutting, ironing out the finishing touches and you'll be a welcome cutter

Aww man, I thought I got rid of them. I tried to leave all the finer hairs of some of the players to make it as realistic as possible, are you sure the snow isn't just stray hair? It was also a very sunny day, are you sure there isn't a glow around some because of that?
Lol if so, I'm going to have to completely revise my technique.
Also thanks for the tips/links bakizp, I'll check those out this afternoon.

I have played with exposure, brightness contrast etc but can't get it to quite work (I am using Photoshop CS5)
Thanks'

It's a good start. But there's still snow around the images. Check against a black background as you work to avoid this:
I use a variety of different techniques to remove the borders, but the most efficient is to use the clone tool and make sure to lock the transparency of the image.
Also, the images are too big. 180x180 is what you should save them as, but these may only be work in progress. Always resize when you've finished touching up the cut, and then make sure again that no borders appear around the image.
Keep up the practicing!
mons
That's a very, very good start for a beginner however, and the relatively small amount of snow will be quite easy to remove.
Keep up the good work and hope to see more of your work soon.
P.S. When hosting images, try to use an image hosting site which retains the filename, which should always be the person's UID.

I don't know if you all know about this,but:
- Using a Clone Tool in Normal mode could produce unreal effect sometimes,because it's copying the exact sample u took with holding ALT key
Therefore:
- If you need just to darken the snow,the best choice is using the Darken mode with around 40-50% opacity,sampling the dominating color of hair
- If you have color spills (blue,purple,red) or anything that is significantly different than dominating color,the best choice is to use Color mode (with same percentage of opacity),then Darken to finish the job.
