Right, I actually got on really well with using a layer mask! - However,
now i am down to the very fine details im not sure i have the right
brush. You mentioned 'feathered' but i dont see that in the tool
options? Im using a 3px fuzzy circle, is that the same thing? my lines
are a little jagged ;(
The fuzzy circle is fine, it is what I meant by 'feather'. With it, your 
image should not look jagged then. I managed to get good results with 
the circle fuzzy 7 and 9. 3 might be too small indeed. You must paint in 
black in the mask not only what you want to delete, but also the pixels 
at the border of what you want to keep.

Hooray! This is a much better effort I think ;-)

Great work. No jagged pixels at all.
You think that's okay Oliver or does it need some work? I think it looks
great but like i said, im no graphic artist 

Thanks ever so much for all the help, very kind of you to take the time
dude..
I am no artist either, but you can still try to see what would happen to 
the colours/contrast if you play with the levels tool 
(Layer-Colors-Levels). There are other filters there that you might 
try just to see if you can improve the image colours: try every one of 
the Layer-Colors-Auto menu and see if one can give a good result. 
Nothing guaranteed ;)

Best regards,
Olivier.

 Hi,

   You should perhaps have mentioned that there's also Open

  Ah - I would have if I'd thought of it :)
 
 While we are on it. The HIG suggests to use Ctrl-L as the default
 keybinding for File-Open Location. I would like to follow this
 suggestion but we already use Ctrl-L to bring up the Layers dialog.
 Since that's a longstanding keybinding I am somewhat reluctant to
 changing it. On the other hand it would be good to follow the HIG
 advice here in order to be more consistent with other apps and also in
 order to get people used to the otherwise hidden Ctrl-L feature in the
 File Open dialog.
 
 So what do our users think about this? What would be a good
 alternative keybinding for the Layers dialog? Does it need one at all?

I favour Ctrl+L for open location. I don't have the layer dock obscured
most of the time and use it extensively to be hiding it, therefore
wasn't using the shortcut for focusing layer's dock at all. On the other
hand the Ctrl+L shortcut is fairly rock solid in my brain because of the
web browsers I've used in the past. 

Ctrl+L is an adept to being a common shortcut such as Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V,
its role in the new file dialogs is also fairly high.

my 2 cents

Why the hell do you people respond to 4 DAY OLD threads to only be
negative. You really aren't helping at all. It's total hypocrisy,
complaining about list noise, whereas all you do is provide *more* noise
on a silent topic.

This thread ended 4 days ago. Let it be.
