Jon,

Thanks for that useful tutorial. It makes an interesting alternative to Kimi's black T-shirt method!

Well, shooting against a black background has its benefits too - saves a lot of editing steps! Here's a link to a shot I posted today of a dandelion in bloom against a black background and one other color background:

But you can't always pick the flowers or move the objects around.

Thank for sharing this great tutorial.
I need to learn to remember to check the settings in the option bar. I tend to choose a tool and charge ahead.
So thank you for including the settings.
