In Part 1, I went over some of the basics concepts of digital photo editing and through some of my favorite photo tricks for my band photos. I said that Part 2 would be about removing backgrounds from your photos, and while I was studying on various techniques for doing this I realized that some of the articles I was reading were better than anything I could write. So instead of giving you another article on my attempt to explain some photo editing methods, I decided to provide you some of the best articles I found. All of these articles came from the site howtogeek.com which is a great site for computer tips and tricks.
