I am wondering if anyone can help me with two photos I have. I want to remove the background and make it black so that I just have two close-ups of Cricket and Watson's faces, the same size. I know nothing about photoshop so wondered if anyone can help out if I sent the pictures? I don't know how hard it is to do so if it is very technical, let me know. I am hoping it is an easy thing.

Post them! I'm sure you'll lots of takers. Everyone loves doing this kind of stuff.

This way you can chose the one that best fits your ideal.

Good advice! Thanks. The one of Cricket is already sized but the one of Watson isn't. I am hoping the sizes will match and just have a black background.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I have the originals (not cropped yet if that is better).

There are two of Watson in case one works better

post the whole photo if possible. Fading the edges may make it look more natural than a blunt cut when cropped.

Awesome!! I knew you'd get some great photos. :)

I'd have joined in, but this ole PC is giving me pains. My photoshop is once again 'uninstalled'.

I know we have some very talented members here
