Title: Photoshop/Photoediting help
Post by: brennser on December 04, 2009, 03:32:37 pm: Any graphic artistes on the board? I'm trying to do something that I think would be a snap for anyone with the right skills or software but I'm struggling with it in MS Paint.

I'm designing the cover for my end of year mix CD and want to use this picture

(http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/11_05/HenryHandball2011_650x375.jpg)

But instead of the ball, I'd like Thierry "Ennui" to be handling a CD.

If anyone could help me out with this I would really appreciate it!

I do not - I've been mainly relying on google search to find images of this

I can work on this one a bit but a clearer picture to start would give a better result at the end.
