In this Photoshop tutorial, Richard Harrington uses Photoshop and After Effects CS3 to create character animation from a digital photo. Using an image of a bird on a branch, the bird is isolated by using the quick selection tool in Photoshop CS3, a layer mask is created and the mask is adjusted with the paint brush tool and clone stamp tool. Next the branch is masked into its own layer, the bird is removed from the background and finally the PSD is exported.
