I prefer distraction-free backgrounds for photos of my figures and towards this end I use a white cloth for my background and play around with brightness and contrast in post-processing to achieve the clean white look. The problem with this approach is that colours can end up being inaccurate.
Photoshop has several tools that make background masking a quick and painless affair and there’s a really good tutorial here that discusses the different approaches available.
However, some of the Photoshop tools used in that tutorial may not be present in Photoshop Elements. For instance, Photoshop Elements 3.0 lacks the History Brush. Fortunately, there’s a workaround to simulate it.

From a previous entry:
5 mili jointo.
A fan-mode featuring Microman, Microchange and Blockman. If he had popped in a couple of Diaclone pilots into that Blockman cockpit, it would be a perfect homage to the interchangeability of Takara’s 5mm joint system.
I go now to ritually disembowel myself.

A disturbing Stikfas photo-op set-up.
Action figures almost always include weapons as accessories but juxtaposing a plaything with an actual instrument of death is a bit unsettling. Then there’s that headline …
Elective surgery for Valentine’s Day.
The romantic gift that says, “You’re not good enough as you are.”
