Here’s a simple tutorial for those wanting to turn their photographs into tee-shirts without using the background – in other words, to make your photo of a beer bottle or candle have a transparent background that will work on almost any colour of shirt.
This will also help you isolate objects with transparent backgrounds to use in 3D images, or to pull into other 2D images (compilations or collages).
You can download the tutorial from here (the tutorial is in pdf format):
Isolating Objects with Photoshop’s Pen Tool
I’m sorry but the directions are for PC users. If someone wants to send me the equivalent mac terminology I’ll be happy to add it to the tutorial.
Any questions (or you just want to point out mistakes…which, like everyone else I do make, and sometimes miss), feel free to bubble me :)

Hi, I like to do it, I found another one and did not work with me, and yours when I try to open it all my pages shut down, is there a way you can mail it to me?
Thanks
