How to create natural looking flowers

[ABitDaffy]

Candi, most cameras do have a macro option. In all the point and shoots that I've used, the icon on the dial always looks like a Tulip. Sometimes there's actually an option on the dial, but if you're using a super small camera that doesn't have the different modes on the dial, you may have to go into setup on your camera to choose it.

Hope that helps!

And, I have to second the photography course - of course, that's a bit of self-promotion there, since I'm the instructor!

Hi @ all,
I don´t know if you have it in PSE but extracting works best with the path tool - you can easily go along the lines and also adjust the points you´ve set. So if pse has that you should give it a try. Perfectly clean edges? You get them with lots of patience - just kidding - after i made a path and put it to selection i contract the selection a pixel or maybe two so if i done the path well i´ll get pretty good edges.
hope that helps
