I was just messing around with some background textures and decided to give ol' Pierre the treatment...
Hope y'all like it!

I decided to make a Wide Screen variation...

Full-size Wide Screen Version (1440 x 900)
I'm working out the kinks on a template for a few more along these lines...

Cool. I won a Pierre Thomas game jersey in a silent auction. Really cool.

Sweet! Try adding motion blur(5/10/15 or so) for the one on the right in the back.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'll tell you what I do (keep in mind that I'm OCD, so it can be very time consuming to get it "right")...
First and foremost - I make a duplicate layer of the original image layer (OI) and a duplicate layer of the original background (OB)layer. I then put the OI below the new background layer copy and turn it and the OB off so I can't screw them up. Then I fill the new background layer some obnoxious lime green or hot pink so that I will be able to see the edges I'm creating cleanly.
OK - time to go to work...
I try to find the highest res image possible. Sometimes I use the magic wand (with shift held down) to select the background or the object to layer by cut. That only works when the object is clearly defined with hard edges from the background. A lot of times I use the select circle (the one that's a rectangle by default) while holding shift to slowly select the object to it's edges and then the lasso to manually do the parts I miss. Often I "select inverse" to get little things that are hard to grab.... Then I copy my selection and turn off the old layer. Now I can see it against that solid neon green background. I get a hard edged eraser, zoom in and clean it up manually.
A word of warning - My methods can lead to a condition I like to call "going pixel-blind" - but when unblurred vision returns, you'll be happy with the results.

I'll give it a shot in the next day or so. If I open Photoshop tonight, it's gonna be to play with the fire truck.

z try out the pen tool, that's what I use...

I have been trying quick mask mode, it is working ok. But I noticed some of our expert farker's cut out images come out very crisp. But I will try the pen tool as well Orphan.

I've got a few stashed away too. This one I found a loooong time ago when I was looking for leather to use for this little project.
