    Yep, it's that easy. Some people say you need to download applications and stuff. But all you need for this is Photoshop CS3.
    Ok, I'm on a Mac so it... Just hold with me...
    Final Result:
    [​IMG]

    Let's get started...
    Step 1: Find a background. Pretty simple, google something.
    Step 2: Find a character. Also pretty simple, its called google.
    Step 3: Open both of em up in CS3.
    I am using these two images to start:
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Step 4:
    Crop your pictures however you'd like.

    Step 5: Select the character image.
    Select the Magic wand ([​IMG])

    Step 6: Select the background while using the magic wand ([​IMG])

    Step 7: [​IMG] Go to Select>Inverse

    Step 8: It should now look something like this: [​IMG]

    Step 9: Copy and Paste (Apple+C or CNTR+C or whatever)

    Step 10: [​IMG]
    Clear up the parts that got there by accident with the magic wand.

    Step 11: [​IMG]
    And there's your final result.
    Now just add some text and make it your own.
    More to come,

    Do you know which versions it works for so I could change the name of the topic? I'm clueless of these things.
    Thanks,

    not quite sure
    I'm using CS4 right now, I used to have CS2, my school has CS3, and it used to have PS 7. I've never found a version without the wand tool.

    It works in all kind of photoshop, but it only works for plain background
