A couple of days ago I spent some time playing around with the GrowCut Mask and Extract plugins.
http://research.graphicon.ru/image-processing/gml-growcut.html
These are an alternative to Photoshop's Extract function and help to separate an object from its background. They work quite well, and are a lot of fun to learn because of the in terractive display. It's fun, but hard to describe how the image comes alive in a liquid sort of way as you select different areas
These should work with Elements as well as Photoshop.
Thanks for posting this plug-in. I like what I see to this point, but layer masks are new to me, and what I wanted to do is replace a background with a sky image. Can some one tell me how this is done with this program or point me in the right direction to understand how to use this program to replace a background image. Again this is a very weak area in photoshop for me. I would love to see the out come of the image that I'm trying to get to work.
I can see the mask in photoshop, but now I don't know how to apply the background and merge the results. Any tips would be a big help.
