Hello,

if this is not allowed, please accept my apology and remove.

Ok, so I have a request of sorts.  I used to use photoshop and PSP wayyy back years ago.  I have left the community for real life.  Anyways, I am in need of finding someone who can make 2 tubes for me from personal photos.  Is there still a forum or people around that offer this service?  I am willing to kick a few bucks to someone to help me out, as I am in need of it for my son.  He is 16 and his best bud just was forced to move away due to parent losing job and they are all just heartbroken  He wants to take a photo of them to create something special the 3 of them can share.  I have spent time trying, but I just can't get it to look very clean.  I used to know tubers back in the day, but been so many years I lost touch.

So after long story, question is ... can anyone point me in the right direction or help me out?

Thanks so much in advance and thank you for taking the time to read.  Its appreciated!

I do not want to offend by posting the image, since my son has his middle finger sticking up lol, but am willing to email or send privately some way if possible.

    If you want to automate removing backgrounds from image you need to capture image with a background that can be automatically removed.  A chroma key background.  You also need software design to remove these chroma key backgrounds  IMO White, Gray and Black are the best chroma key colors for still images.

    I apologize, I should of been more descriptive.  I am used to calling them tubes ... yes a paint shop pro term used years ago. 

    A rastor layer within the file that is edited to have only specific area show.  In this case I need the boys edited to just them and remove the background to leave a clear transparentcy so that other layers and graphics can be added to it. like example below...

    I am sorry I am not very good at this anymore :/

    Oh, so you want  to mask out the subject from the background.  You could do this fairly quickly with the Background Eraser tool in Photoshop CC.

    It might be Paint Shop Pro JJ.

    Like you though, I'd still like to know what is meant by a tube.
