I feel like I need a class too. I used to work a lot with Photoshop, draw backgrounds for a cartoon studio, and worked as a photo-artist (made cards, collages, restored old pictures, etc). It was... well, I have not touched Photoshop for more than 8 years. I am the kind of person who looses it if don't use it. I have gazillion ideas in my head, I know what I can do in Photoshop (which is anything!) but I don't remember how

. I have no access to Photoshop now (if I had, I probably would not remember how to use it anyway), but I read that GIMP is very similar. And it seems that I can do with it what I want. I know exactly what I want and I look for tutorial on gimp website and watched YouTube. Some is helpful, just takes forever to find what I need. But some info I cannot find. Right now I struggle with removing this crawling line from selection. It drives me crazy

! I took several pictures and want to combine some pieces together to create one image. I found tutorial on YouTube how to use layers and combine pieces. I am still not good with erasing exactly what I want as much as I want. So, if somebody can give me advice how to erase precisely what I need with vague edges, so that two layers would have gradual transition, I would greatly appreciate it! But mainly - HOW DO I GET READ OF THE CRAWLING LINE that I could work with the layer! Please!!!
