Tutorial
Click on thumbnailed images to enlarge
	I will change this:

To This:

First open you image:

Then Press Ctrl + D to Duplicate the Image.
Now you will have two images. Make the duplicated one (the one that says untitled) black and white:

Then Do This:

After you have done that, press Ctrl + A then Ctrl + C. After that close that window.
Then Add A Layer:

Leave The Pixels How They Are and Make Sure you have the transparency clicked on.
Now after you have the background press Ctrl + V it should look like this:

After that press the little anchor button in that menu under the layers.
Now it should look like this:

Now add a layer mask by doing this:

Then Select The Brush Tool:

IF YOUR MENU DOESN'T LOOK LIKE MINE... press Ctrl + Shift + B
Now brush what ever you want in the picture:

And Voila!
Any Questions? PM me.
