Don't Ask, Just Assume part 2

As it turns out Corel Photo Paint has a really great tool called the cutaway lab.  After about 1/2 hour, here's the hat.  (No background.  Totally transparent.  That was the point!)

It's true I wasn't as neat as I would have been if I thought there was any chance it would work.   Jon says I should write a book on it.  I would be happy if I could just write my own books and have these programs support my efforts.

But it's also true that I was able to make brushes today with Photoshop.  Let me just say to Adobe--the program should be as easy as this.  All the time.
