A virt is simply modifying pictures of Bonsai to show or try out design ideas! Maybe a new pot or show some wood removed and then some regrowth.

Here is an article that has already been done on this

Maybe you could improve or elaborate on the process used here ?
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Brett,

thank you for posting that link! It all makes sence now!

Can some one please supply me with a stock image?( I may pull one from the web )

I shall have a play around screen shot everything for you guys and go step by step.

Does everyone understand the lasso tool? I think we may look at using the lasso tool first to get the hang of this.
