THE FIRST METHOD ________________________________ This method only works if you have a render that DOESNT match with the colors of the bg. 1. Hide all layers except the render layer. Make sure you have the render layer selected, and that it's BG is transparent. 2. Grab the Magic Wand tool. 3. Where ever you see transparency, click. 4. With a portion selected, grab the Lasso Tool 5. With the Lasso Tool, right-click the selected portion and click Feather. You can also do this by going to Select>>Feather at a radius of like 1-5. 6. Hit the delete button. Repeat this to other 'portions of transparency' that you see on the render layer.

THE SECOND METHOD _______________________________ This method only works if the colors of the render match with the colors of the BG. 1. Make sure that you have the render layer selected. 2. Grab the Eraser tool with a circular brush. 3. Now erase parts of the render. Make sure that you dont erase too much, just erase portions on the outside of the render. Also, make sure that you dont erase big chunks of it, just erase little parts of the render. 4. Set the opacity of the render to 95. 5. Make a new layer and place it on top of all your other layers. 6. Go to Image>>Apply Image. 7. Do a Gaussian Blur of 2.0 8. Set this layer to Lighten

THE THIRD METHOD _____________________________ This method works on just about anything. 1. Make sure that you have your render layer selected. 2. Grab the Lasso tool and set its Feather to about 15-20. 3. Trace around parts of your render layer that you dont want to show. 4. Go to Layer>>Add Layer Mask>>Reveal Selection.
