This is an experimental collage I created while learning Photoshop. I am amazed at the features phtotoshop provides! It is close to magical work! I really like one particular tool- which is aptly named "magic wand". You can click on certain area of a picture and this wand makes a very good guess of what portion of the image you want to select. I cannot help but wonder what kind of graphic processing/pixel matching algorithm allows such a feat!
Oh and in case you are wondering, yes the collage is a crime scene investigation. An over speeding boat which ran over a pig on the state highway to heaven!

Just so you know, another good way of cutting parts of an image out in Photoshop is to use the quick mask tool.
To use it, select the brush tool, then press 'q' and your "paint" will turn into a translucent pink color that you use to cover everything you want to get rid of. Press 'q' again to end quick mask and you are left with a selection that you can either copy to a new layer or delete. It's a handy trick!
..You can also do the opposite and quick mask the part you want to KEEP, then exit quick mask and press Shift+Ctrl+i to invert the selection and the rest of the image becomes the masked part.
Hope that helps/makes sense..
