Hi, i have never tried anything like this before, but last night for a friends birthday we dressed up and a guy was James Bond. I got a couple of photos of him and he would really like them to be edited and put on the opening screen of James Bond type background.
How would i go about doing this?
So far i have erased all the background, so its just left with him

Any help or hints would be greatfully recieved.

Just a quick try, to see if i could do it: Picture

Not really that pretty, but quickly done

And so that you can try for yourself:

Find a backgroud from a James Bond film
Create new document in photoshop
Background color: Transparent
Paste James Bond Background
Cut out center and clear to make transparent
Select the guy from your photo (only him, not the backgroud too)(if he's to big, rezise the picture)
paste to new document
place in center
go to the menu: Layer -> Arrange -> Send Backward

And that's about what i've done

Look at this image again on a different monitor. Your entire background has not been erased.
