Some of you in here know me adn some of you don't!
I have always been interested in photography but never had a decent enough camera to pop in here and join in the banter, but I now have a Cannon EOS 20D sat next to me :)
I am currently sat in a one hour processing shop that my uncle runs and I want to take a picture, but there is nothing interesting here to photograph :(
Got any ideas?
OK so here is what I done, my uncle wants some POS material for his shop so I took a image of his instant printing kiosk.

Then I played with it in photoshop

Then I used his processing machine and printed them onto 6" x 8" and 5" x 7" photographic paper to use for his display :) LINK TO RESULT
So now to the point of this post!!! what could I of done differant to improve the end result?
Many Thanxs

I would have used the Extract tool in PS to separate the kiosk from the back ground. Make a duplicate layer before starting, then open the Extract layer and use it on that new layer. Delete the original layer and add whatever background you want below the extracted layer. That should get rid of the halo.
I'll go have a look at that now, never used it before but seen it up there on the filters menu :)
When it first opens, it opens with a circle brush. You can make that bigger or smaller. Make it big enough to keep the line it draws so the line stays over the outline of the kiosk. When your done and it's closed the circle, go to the top left and use the paint bucket to fill the kiosk inside the circle, and that about all you need to do. :)
