Taking an outline from a jpeg
I'm trying to come up with a logo for my new Savate kickboxing club that I'm setting up.
I thought I'd try using an outline from a fighting picture. I've got Paintshop Pro 8 but free-hand selection is proving a nightmare.
Any hints/programs to do this easily. Part of the problem is, to get it accurate, I've got to zoom in on the picture, then when I scroll around,
it loses the blessed selection! 
Once I've got a decent outline, I can use it on leaflets, posters, t-shirts, website etc.
Cheers,
James

I use a graphics tablet use a pen to follow post the pic up and let people have a play. You could alway convert to mono then erase sections

The edge effect tool on psp can be changed to edge seeker, all you do is click along your outline.

Okay, thanks for the advice. Annoying thing is, a few years ago, I knew how to do this!
Here's me fighting at the Coup D'Opal in Calais in November 2011

You can always crop a picture to get rid alternatively email it to whoever does what you want and have it emailed back, you need the highest
resolution really so a resized image is not the best starting point

That's very cool so thank you and I like it a lot but I think I want a solid black (for now) on white image. I don't want to put anyone to
a load of trouble! Then I can change it to different colours for t-shirts etc.

No, but I don't have the original... it's a pic of me, not one I took! I pulled it out of Facebook so not got it in any higher res.
However, if it's just an outline and webpages I want it for, TBH, it's probably good enough.

Has this picture been edited? As it appears that you right leg is about a foot longer than your left.

Nah, nasty accident, I limp a lot! ;-)
lol
It's just the angle of shot and body positioning I think. Also, my right foot is pointing down the line of my leg, so with size 12 feet that
probably adds some length!
Maybe I'll chop some out of my leg for the print though so it doesn't look too weird!
Cheers,
James
