How to strengthen your eye muscle?
Nowadays, eye can be easily tired because of too much watching TV or use of computer terminal. Just like any other muscle needs exercise to stay strong, eye muscle needs regular exercise as well.
Put your head into sink and open up your eye inside water. With your eyes open, move eye ball up and down 7 times. And take your face out of water and dry it.
Once again with your face in the water and eye open inside water, move eye ball circularly clock wise. Do this 7 times and take your face out and dry it.
One more time, you want to open your eyes inside water and move eye ball circularly counter-clock wise this time. Do this 7 times.
This exercise will help clean eye balls and eventually strengthen eye muscle and vision. Try it and see how it make a difference.
If it is too scary for you to put your face into water in the sink, I may allow you to exercise your eyes just in the air with the same instructions mentioned before. :)
My Mother has very weak eye muscles. When she is out in shops etc her eyes will close and she becomes very frightened and always has to have someone with her when she goes out because of this. She has had her eyes checked and her eye sight is excellent but the eye muscles are very weak. She has been to a specialist and has undergone a series of botox injections in order to keeep the eye muscles taut and open. This procedure usually only lasts for 3 months at a time. She is not going to have this botox done again as she is older now and feels she is just not able for the injections anymore. Any other suggestions from you as to what she could try next...would appreciate some feedback and thanks.
I have learn some good stuff here. Certainly price bookmarking for revisiting. cafgdfkekddb

Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
If you're to believe Experian Hitwise then the days of making sure your website is at the top of the search engines is all but over.
Experian Hitwise UK just released some interesting results which show that there is a slow decline in the number of people using search engines across the board. The results indicate that overall visits are down by 40 million since August of 2011 in the UK. That means this past August was the first time this year that search didn't show a year-over-year gain.
Interestingly it's not great news for Google either – while Bing and Yahoo increased their year-over-year percentage, Google lost 5%.
So why did people perform fewer searches this August over last August? It could be attributed to the Olympics. With people to glued to their TV's watching athletes win gold instead of searching online.
Experian Hitwise also suggests that online users are turning to social outlets for their informational needs, such as Twitter and Facebook.
Here's the official word from Experian Hitwise:
"Absolutely. This is a combination of both – Olympics and a pull to social which is seeing a shift in the way we search.
The key thing here is the growing significance of social networks as a source of traffic to websites.
Search is the still the number-one source of traffic, but social networks are growing as people increasingly navigate around the web via recommendations from Twitter, Facebook etc."
To hear people turning to social media for information is no surprise. It's becoming more common for news to break on Twitter and Facebook. Twitter users are faster than actual news crews, so why bother Googling when you can Tweet?
This trend provides a great opportunity for the likes of Facebook and Twitter to inject web search in to social and to curate real-time topics users may seek out.
Do you think this trend spells the end for search engines? I doubt it, people are still going to turn to Google and Bing for information and products/services, especially if they don't use social media sites. So your top Google ranking is safe (for now!)

In his 2012 book Stealth of Nations, Robert Neuwirth challenges conventional thinking by examining the world's informal economy close up. To do so, he spent four years living and working with street vendors and gray marketers, to capture its scope, its vigor--and its lessons. He calls it "System D" and argues that it is not a hidden economy, but a very visible, growing, effective one, fostering entrepreneurship and representing 1.8 billion jobs worldwide.
Before this, for his previous book Shadow Cities (also a TEDTalk), he spent two years exploring one of the most profound trends of our time: the mass migration of the world's population into urban shantytowns. A billion people live as squatters. Life in a favela, slum, shantytown is hard: no water, no transport, no sewage. But in the squatter cities of Rio, Nairobi, Istanbul and Mumbai, Neuwirth discovered restaurants, markets, clinics and effective forms of self-organization.
Our challenge, Neuwirth says, isn't to end squatter cities or shut down gray markets--but to engage and empower those who live and work in them.

|Stewart Nozick
|Tech manual writer
|Todd Louiso
|First Appearance
|The Itch
Nozick is the agoraphobic patient in the episode The Itch.
Case History Edit
The patient collapsed in his home. His neighbors contacted emergency services who broke in his front door to recover the patient. However, when he was taken outside, he suffered extreme anxiety due to his agoraphobia, attacked the emergency team and ran back into his house demanding to be left alone.
Dr. Cameron, who knew the patient from a hospital outreach program, took a medical history and determined that the patient was suffering from crushing headaches and had experienced three seizures in the past two days. He developed agoraphobia after being shot during a mugging that cost his girlfriend her life. She advised Dr. House that the patient would not consent to being brought to the hospital. The portable equipment used on the patient could not detect tumors or vascular problems. Dr. House suggested provoking a seizure while they perform an EEG. This would indicate where the problem was.
Dr. Cameron and the team proceeded to the patient's house, but the patient was resistant to letting them in. He agreed to let them in as long as only Dr. Cameron entered his bedroom. Dr. Kutner believed that the patient might be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Dr. Cameron hooked up the patient to an EEG and attempted to provoke a seizure. Her presence was making the patient anxious. The environmental scan was negative. They also failed to induce a seizure. The patient's first seizure was in his entry hallway, so Dr. House suggested making the patient anxious. Dr. House went to the patient's house with strangers and entered his room. The patient started to become anxious, but did not have a seizure. Instead, he had intense abdominal pain.
Dr. Cameron used the sonogram to find an intestinal blockage. The patient required an MRI or exploratory surgery, but refused to be taken to the hospital despite the risk of peritonitis. Dr. House offered to bring a surgeon to the house and the patient agreed. However, House planned to put the patient under anesthetic at the house, then take him to the hospital.
A mock surgical suite was set up in the patient's home, and he was successfully put under anesthesia and taken to the hospital. However, once Dr. Cuddy learned about the plan she insisted the patient be kept in the hospital after the operation instead of being taken directly home to prevent post-op infection. However, the surgery did not take place as Dr. Cameron revived the patient before the operation. The patient became combative and could not be sedated.
The patient returned home and appointed a lawyer as his medical proxy. Dr. Cuddy removed everyone from the case.
Dr. House suggested Dr. Cameron attempt to convince the patient to let them back on the case and to treat the intestinal blockage with lactulose. Dr. Cameron managed to re-gain the patient's trust. The patient's symptoms continued to get worse. Dr. Cameron convinced Dr. House to do the surgery in the patient's house. Dr. Taub performed the exploratory surgery assisted by Dr. Kutner. The surgery indicated intestinal atrophy, most likely from Whipple's disease, which would explain the seizures and abdominal pain. The patient suffered a minor burn when a cauterizing iron ignited intestinal gas. The burn was dressed and the patient was put on antibiotics.
After treatment, the patient's legs became numb, the result of peripheral neuropathy. Dr. Kutner suggested porphyria, but the patient's liver was fine. Dr. Foreman noted that the intestinal problems would also be consistent with Celiac disease. Dr. Cameron wanted to run blood tests, but Dr. House opposed them as slow and inconclusive. He suggested feeding the patient wheat to see if provoked an allergic reaction in the duodenum. However, Dr. Cameron objected - she felt that Dr. House was merely trying to provoke pain to force the patient to agree to come to the hospital. Dr. Foreman decided to do both the force feeding and the blood tests.
Dr. Cameron attempted to discuss the patient's agoraphobia, and he denied he had post-traumatic stress disorder. He claimed to always be anxious when outdoors until he met his girlfriend.
Dr. House sabotaged the blood test to attempt to force the patient to come to the hospital. He told Dr. Taub to substitute the patient's morphine for saline.
The force feeding was inconclusive. When the patient was being prepared for an endoscopy, he suffered a cardiac arrest. Dr. House obtained permission to take him to the hospital from the proxy, but Dr. Cameron used the portable defibrillator and stabilized him.
The patient became braidicardic and required a temporary pacemaker. Dr. Kutner thought it might by lymphoma, but Dr. House dismissed it because it would have shown up on the portable scanners. Dr. House believed it had to be a toxin. Dr. Kutner suggested organophosphates as he saw rose petals in the entryway. When Dr. Hadley noted the patient's house was very clean, Dr. House asked the patient if he used both bleach and ammonia. When the patient confirmed that he did, Dr. House diagnosed chlorine gas poisoning, which was consistent with his symptoms. He ordered steroids and sodium bicarbonate. However, if this was correct, the patient would need a permanent pacemaker - a procedure that could only be done with a flouroscope in a hospital. Dr. Chase refused to perform the procedure at the patient's house.
However, despite the treatment, the patient's vital signs kept dropping and his abdominal pain got worse. Dr. Cameron was aware of the deception about the morphine and put him back on it. However, when Dr. House realized he was on morphine when he got the abdominal pain, he reviewed the patient's x-ray. He believed it showed bullet fragments in his legs. Dr. House performed minor surgery to remove the fragments because they were causing lead poisoning. Dr. Cameron started chelation. Dr. House also confirmed that the patient was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder as it appeared obvious that the roses were for his girlfriend's birthday. He did want to leave the house to visit her grave site.
The patient recovered and managed to step outside his front door.

I apply the principle of finite elements, known in optics for calculating the beam propagation in waveguide structures, for calculation of meridional rays in inhomogeneous media. The plane is divided into finite elements that have a constant refractive index. The ray trajectory is calculated by a simple algorithm. Contrary to the existing methods, the model I propose in this research does not require an explicit formula for the index distribution. Only the numerical representation is sufficient, which can be a major advantage for calculation of the light propagation in real problems, such as the thermal lensing effect.

"He is a great player. He is a great athlete with a great attitude," said Powell High School defensive tackle Tony Foster. "I love playing with him. My four years with him were great because he comes with it every day.
"He played both ways for us, too. At linebacker, he was very physical. He was outstanding and helped me out at tackle. He likes contact. He hit very well and was all over the field."
But the 6-0, 205-pound Mobley excelled at running back where he averaged about 10 yards per carry while gaining over 5,000 yards in his four-year prep career.
"He's a great runner. He can be elusive, or he can run over you," Foster said. "He likes it all. He likes hitting and he likes making people miss and getting outside. He is going to get it however he can and he's going to work for it. He gives you 100 percent every day
"I love being around him. He likes to jump and joke around in the locker room. He is very active in the school. He is just a great guy."
Foster wished Mobley could have played with him in last weekend's National Guard Border Bowl in Williamsburg, Ky., that Tennessee won 24-20.
"He had some other commitments and couldn't play in this game. He played in the (Tennessee) East-West game with us, but he said he got tired and wanted to rest up for college," Foster said.
Foster admits it did "surprise" him when Mobley, who also has offers from Mississippi State and Toledo, chose Kentucky early.
"But he had the right decision and followed his heart on where to go and nobody can be upset about it. It was a great decision for him," Foster said.
The biggest surprise to Foster was that more schools did not offer Mobley a scholarhip.
"It was surprising but it all comes down to what college coaches see. I guess some obviously saw something they didn't like and obviously Kentucky saw a lot that they liked. It's all good and he will good for Kentucky," Foster said. "I would come down there every Saturday to watch him play if I could. If I was not going somewhere else (Carson-Newman) to play, I would be down there every Saturday to see him play. Kentucky fans are going to love him and give him a lot of love for working so hard."
Foster said he couldn't speculate on whether Mobley could play as a true freshman or not at Kentucky.
"He is going to give it everything he has. If he is ready to go out there, he will go for it," Foster said. "If it takes him a year or two, he will be fine. He will wait for his time to shine and when he gets it, he will shine hard. He's not a troublemaker and he won't pout over not playing immediately. He'll just work. He likes to find person lifting the most weight and go work out with him and try to max his workout. He is always like that."
Foster admitted that his team did enjoy Kentucky's win over Tennessee to end the season that snapped UK's 24-year losing streak to the Volunteers.
"He was happy. He knew it was eventualy going to happen, so he was smiling and bragging about it. He was happy. That's his school, so of course he would show them a lot of love, and he let us know it," Foster said.

One big problem in Uganda is the number of pupils who drop out of school before they have completed their education. The biggest cause of this is the inability to pay school fees. Although there is supposed to be access for all to Government schools through the Universal Primary Education (UPE) and Universal Secondary Education (USE), in practice this is not fully implemented yet.
This leads to young people leaving school and looking for work, turning to 'sugar daddies' or prostitution to find the fees to continue. Initially we identified the problem with secondary school girls and wanted to provide a safe environment for an opportunity to return to school, so Hosanna House was born.
Hosanna House is our home for girls who are either at Secondary School or working with us in order to go back to education.
This is located on plot of land very close to Masaka Town and to the largest Secondary School in the area. After thinking about this project for some time it happened very quickly, we were shown the plot on a Friday and 6 days later it was ours! The plot had a half finished house on it that we have completed.
We then built block with 3 rooms that can house up to 9 young ladies and a toilet / shower block.
As we continued to grow we gathered a few boys who also needed help and we had to rent a room in town to house them.
In July 2010 we agreed to look after a group of young people from another ministry in the town, 'He Will Provide' so our family grew by 10! We then employed a full time residential social worker, Sylvia, to look after our growing family. At the same time we moved the boys to the house where 'He will Provide' was based.
In May 2011 we received a donation to enable a property to be purchased for our teenage boys to live in, this is known as Hallelujah House.
At the time of writing we are now caring for about 30 young people, providing education, food and housing. These are spread over 5 sites. Hosanna House (Masaka) has 7 girls and a young child, Hallelujah House (Masaka) has 5 boys, 4 young ladies live at Bwala and at the school we have Hosanna House with 6 girls and Hallelujah House with7 boys.
During this year we hope to build an extension to Hosanna House in Masaka as the current rooms are becoming cramped. The cost adding these 3 extra rooms will be about £6000 ($10,000).

I don't do much with my hair these days. My mornings are quite busy and I would much rather spend the time doing my makeup. I've got a quick and easy hair tutorial that only needs 10 minutes (or less) that I've been doing quite often these days to give my hair some kind of style.
1. Spray Suave Professionals® Luxe Style Infusion Volumizing Weightless Blow Dry Spray at the roots. I do this even if I don't do anything else with my hair as it really helps my hair from being too flat. I love this spray as it's super lightweight and doesn't add crazy amount of product to your hair but does a great job with giving my hair more volume.
2. Blow Dry with a brush to give it volume. I put the temperature at warm and just hold my brush at the roots and blow up. It sounds like a lot but it doesn't take much time at all and gives my hair a good bit of volume.
3. Start a small braid at the front and then pin back with bobby pins. I have bangs that I'm growing out that are always in my way. Doing this helps get it out of my face and it looks cute!
It's seriously the easiest hair style to do especially if you are a busy mom like me. I don't have time to curl my hair or spend lots of time styling it so I love products that can help me style it fast and easy.
NEW Suave Professionals® Luxe Style Infusion is a luxurious line of salon-inspired styling products that allow women to "#Style It Yourself", or "#SIY," and get the salon looks they love at home every day.
Suave Professionals® makes it easy to "Style It Yourself", or "SIY", with on-trend style products that work as well as a salon brand, and simple, three step-style instructions that are even on the back of packaging to help women achieve salon-quality styles quickly and easily at home.

Orrin Woodward, New York Times best-selling author of 'Launching a Leadership Revolution' and Oliver DeMille, best known for his book 'A Thomas Jefferson Education' and the movement by the same name, have an uncanny ability to construct simple solutions to seemingly complex problems. In 'LeaderShift,' they focus that ability on problems plaguing the United States. The result is a simple set of solutions woven into a thought-provoking parable designed to be reach beyond the sphere of those that study history and politics out of their own ambition and into the lives of everyday Americans that are concerned about the future of our country.
I know most book reviews give a summary of the basic plot of the book, but I'm going to skip this part. While the story is both funny and compelling, my purpose in reading the book was to discover Woodward and DeMille's proposed solutions to America's problems. The reason I was/am so interested in hearing their opinion is that I know that they are both devoted students of history, economics, and human nature. Before reading Leadershift, I was hoping that it would be different than the majority of the books discussing America's problems in that it would focus on the root of our problems, not the symptoms while, at the same time, being completely non-partisan. They delivered.
The solutions they offered, 28 in all, are refreshingly simple. I'm not going to list them all here. You'll have to get the book and read it if you want them. However, most of them rest on a few simple premises. First, Woodward and DeMille argue that unless we have limited government, we will have limited freedom. Second, that no government is limited if its taxing powers or money printing ability are unlimited. Third, taxes are only effectively limited when a hard limit to taxation is set and checks and balances are created between the local, state, and federal level.
As a student of history and economics myself, albeit a relatively new student, I was pleasantly surprised at the boldness of the proposed solutions. A few of them, however, didn't settle well with me at first. I would be surprised if you immediately agree with all of them. Agreeing is not the point though. The point is to get you thinking and hopefully inspire you to dig further into the topic of freedom.
If you're anything like me, by the end of LeaderShift, you'll be chomping at the bit for more. Those of us that already like reading into politics, history, and economics will probably want more depth. Take heart though, LeaderShift is the first of three books. Think of it as the primer for a much larger discussion on freedom in America. In the mean time, go the LeaderShift website and get some of the free downloads, follow Orrin's blog and sign up for newsletters from The Center for Social Leadership for more discussion around the topics introduced in LeaderShift.
Overall, if you are truly concerned about the future of freedom in the United States (or anywhere else), pick up a copy of LeaderShift. Read it, digest it, argue with it, discuss it, and share it. Don't stop with LeaderShift though. It is not the end-all, be-all of books on freedom. However, it is a significant addition to the Great Conversation and one that I strongly recommend everyone read.
Here is a fantastic interview with Orrin and Oliver discussing LeaderShift.
Update 4/26: It looks like LeaderShift hit the New York Times Best Seller list at #12.
Update 4/30: It looks like LeaderShift hit #2 on the Wall Street Journal Non-Fiction Hardcover best-seller list.
Update 5/2: Leadershift not only hit the New York Time Best Sellers list, but has climbed to #9.
God Bless,

The demands on an AFL coach's time are extraordinary enough during the regular season and even more so when his team is involved in finals, let alone when he's also just become a father for the first time.
But North Melbourne coach Brad Scott didn't look like a man feeling the pinch when he fronted the media at Arden Street on Thursday before the Kangaroos' sudden-death semi-final against Geelong at the MCG.
In fact, Scott was positively buoyant about both fatherhood and the opportunity to take North further down the finals track, as far as they've been since 2007.
"It's been just an awesome week," said Scott, still basking in the glow of a new son, Fletcher, whom his wife Penny had delivered on Tuesday morning.
"As anyone who's experienced fatherhood for the first time would know, it's just an amazing feeling. My wife's been a superstar and she's now allowing me to focus on the task on Friday night.
"Professional athletes go through this sort of stuff all the time at this time of year. October's going to be a great month for us, but we've got to focus on the task at hand in September."
As for coaching against his twin, Chris, well, that hurdle in a very close relationship has been jumped now on half a dozen occasions. The fact the seventh time will be a final won't change anything, says Brad, depending upon which guise his brother takes, opposition coach or doting relative of the new-born.
"Uncle Chris will be more than welcome any time, but the Geelong coach won't be welcome this Saturday," Scott chuckled.
Not that Fletcher is the only baby of sorts Brad has been dealing with this week. The Roos coach looked around for emerging young star Kayne Turner on the track during Thursday's session only to suddenly remember the 18-year-old had already left the club to return to his VCE studies at Maribyrnong Secondary College.
If that was disappointing for the hundreds of fans who'd rolled up to this open session, there was always livewire forward Ben Brown, the Tasmanian rapidly acquiring cult status having to pose for photos with an army of young kids wearing wigs with that trademark "Sideshow Bob" hairstyle.
Indeed, staffers at Arden Street have noticed lately if not a changing of the guard, certainly a broadening base of supporter favourites beyond the usual suspects, Brent Harvey, Daniel Wells and Drew Petrie.
The "Roo Shop" on Thursday sold out of Kayne Turner badges and also had to order in more numbers 4 and 5 to cope with the increasing demand for both his No. 40 and Brown's No. 50 to be sewn on the backs of North Melbourne guernseys.
As usual with the Roos' open training sessions, the "Peninsula Ladies", a group of dedicated volunteers who help give even the refurbished Arden Street digs an older football world feel, were hard at work looking after the sausage sizzle, doing a roaring trade as lunchtime approached.
It was a work day and the school holidays still more than a week away as North Melbourne prepared for its most important game for seven years, but the Kangaroo faithful were out and about.
And as the players left the track, ready to go, the coach lingered to do his stint of autograph signing. As they have all week, kids surrounded Scott, on the terraces, on his playing list and now in the family home.

As they say, what happens on a nudist beach stays on a nudist beach and we won't tell you any secrets, but this beautiful and really unaware topless lady with wet perky nipples made our day when we went out hunting for new breathtaking public beach voyeur camera nudity videos. She feels so natural sunbathing like that and by the end of the summer her skin will be dark, smooth and extremely seductive even for her fellow nudists.

Leo Maxwell always lived in the shadow of his older brother Teddy, one of San Francisco's most ruthless and effective criminal defense lawyers. Then a gunman shot Teddy in the head. Although Teddy survived the shooting, he has been left disabled and dependent on Leo, now a criminal defense attorney practicing in Oakland. The Maxwell brothers are living together in Oakland while Leo, chafing in his role as junior attorney in his former sister-in-law's small criminal defense firm, is on the lookout for the big case that will make his reputation. He thinks he's found that when a mysterious woman nearly runs him down, then appears at his office to hire him to defend her brother on a murder charge. One problem: Leo hasn't actually met the client when he sets out to investigate what seems like a hot tip on a burgeoning scandal in the Oakland Police Department. Leo takes a series of photographs that seem to blow the lid on deep-set corruption in the Department, however when he brings these pictures to the attention of the District Attorney's office, he quickly learns that all is not as it seems, beginning with Leo's client and the alluring woman who hired him. Leo's "client" is actually represented by Nikki Matson, one of Oakland's most notorious gangland lawyers. What's more, the client doesn't know anything about Leo being hired to defend him, and claims not even to have a sister.Between Nikki's star client, one of Oakland's most feared gang leaders, and certain elements within the Oakland police, Leo realizes that he has unwittingly made himself enemy number one within the criminal community as well as the police department. Both sides want him silenced before he uncovers the full extent of a scandal that is poised to engulf the city and ignite a firestorm of repercussions. Hounded by threats from all sides, Leo soon finds himself framed for murder and sent to prison with a price on his head. Even if Leo can survive, he's a marked man unless he can bring those responsible for the murders to justice. Bodies pile up as Leo closes in on his pursuers while at the same time, his pursuers close on him. Yet the truth is far more sinister, as Leo must confront the one person he never would have suspected...

Background Erase Trick in Paint Shop Pro
PSP Background Erase
Background Erase in Paint Shop Pro
The background erase technique is one of my favorites in Paint Shop Pro. We use this technique in my middle school technology class in order to create unique and original projects the I call a photo montage. The students generally can pick up on the technique quickly and then their creative juices get going and they come up with some nice original works using the technique. If my middle school students can do this, then there is certainly no reason that you can't master the technique too.
We will start out with a photo opened up in the software. We will use the school logo which will be simple to work with. This has a black background so we will cut this logo out of the black background and paste it onto another background in order to demonstrate the technique.
Begin by Selecting the Background Eraser Tool
On the left hand side of the screen where the different tool selections are will be the background erase tool. It will be right below the eraser tool that is represented by the icon showing the eraser on the head of a pencil. Keep in mind that the eraser tool and the background eraser tool are not the same thing. Use the background eraser tool first in order to make things easier.
Drag the Brush Around the Edges of the Logo
Above we click our mouse and drag our "brush" which is simply a circle all around the edges of the logo in order to clear away the black background away from the edges. Now we can resize our brush by holding the ALT button down and left clicking the mouse and dragging the circle up and down on the screen. There are hints and instructions on how to use each tool on the left hand side of the screen. You should see that this changes the size of the brush to one that you are comfortable with. Be very careful not to drag the pencil part of the brush onto the logo. If you do this, you may erase some of the picture that you are trying to cut out. This is hard to fix sometimes when using the background eraser tool. If you do mess up, then right click on the parts of your photo that you accidentally erased and it should try to replace the parts of the picture that you did not mean to erase. I have found that it doesn't always fix it completely though so just be careful to keep the pencil that is in the middle of the brush tool off the part that your are trying to cut out and you won't have to worry about anything.
Zoom in and Use the Eraser Tool to Clean Up the Edges
Eraser Tool to Clean Out the Edges
After using the background eraser tool, then you'll need to zoom in on the photo graph to see up close what parts of the photo still need to be cleaned up around the edges before you cut it out. Use the mouse wheel to zoom in closer to your photo and you can see that there is more than likely still work to be done to have a clean photo to cut out. Remember that you should resize your brush wheel to some of the smallest sizes to clean up the pixels. You can make the brush size so small that you can clean out one pixel at a time if need be. Zoom out of the photo to get a better idea if it is cleaned out well enough or not. If you fail to take the time to cleanly trim around the edges of the photo you will be able to tell when you cut it out and paste it on another background. It just looks really bad and not something that you want to see on your final project.
Select Freehand Selection
Edge Seeker Selected Here
Freehand Selection and Edge Seeker
Now it is time to cut our photo out to paste onto another background. We will select the freehand selection tool that is shown by a little lasso. We also want to be sure that after we check it that we select the Edge Seeker option in the drop down box. This will seek out the edges for us as we click all around the edges of our trimmed out photo.
Click Around the Edges with the Lasso
Freehand Selection Tool
By clicking a little bit at the time all around the end of our logo, we will see the edge seeker actually seeking out the edges of the logo. When you get back to where we started the process we will double click and then we will see the the logo is ready to be cut out with the little animated "ant trail" all around the outer edges of the logo to show that it is selected and ready to cut out.
Edit > Cut
The Logo is Cut Out and Ready to Be Pasted Elsewhere
Edit > Cut
With the logo now selected and ready to cut out we will go to Edit > Cut and then we'll see that the logo has disappeared from the black background that it was surrounded by and ready to be placed elsewhere.
Open Up Another Background
A Different Background
Once we have the logo cut out we will minimize that photo and open up the new background that we want to put our logo onto. Here we see that I have opened up a blue background with some swirls in it.
Edit > Paste as New Layer
With the new background opened up, we will now go to edit > paste as new layer. There is a good chance the you may think that it did not work right when you do this. Don't worry. If you do not see your image after you pasted, you may need to zoom out with your mouse wheel to see the highlighted box. Grab and drag the edges of the photo you pasted and resize as needed, perhaps with it not even on your new background yet. Make the box small enough to drag the new photo onto the background. Select the Pick tool to grab the edges of the photo you pasted as a new layer and adjust the edges as needed in order to drag the entire picture onto the new background. Again, adjust and resize as needed until you are satisfied.
Final Result
Watch the Background Erase Technique Here
YouTube Demonstration
Above you will see a demonstration of this process discussed in the article. I am the one that made the video a few years ago. It is a more complex photo to work with than the logo. All of the techniques used are the same as they are with the logo. The main difference is that the erasing of the background in the photo of my son as a youth football player was a more difficult process than working with the logo was as you might imagine.
