Subject: PS Question.


I'd ask this in the Photoshop forum, but nobody likes me over there.:-)

Say you have a picture of a camera body and you want to make an out line of that body. Is there a way to extract say a mm or mm and a bit of the outside edge or do you just trace around it with the pencil tool and clean up the edges with transform or such.

I won't be around a computer with PS on it for a day or two, so i thought i best ask incase i start
off doing something the hard way first.<g>

Put the camera on a white background and photograph it.
Do a magic wand selection of the background, invert the selection and cut the camera out. Stroke what's left behind with a several pixel stroke and you should have it.
