hit the backspace key. Delete al the pixels outside the main image this way. 3.
Select the eraser tool, and the smallest hard brush (1px) set to 100% and
wet edges. Use short strokes along the outside of the image at right angles
to the image to cause a feather like appearance. follow the light colors up
