Today’s tutorial is similar to our previous post: Remove Background/Cut Out Image in Fireworks/Photoshop, where we removed a foreground image for use on another background.

For any web developer, Mozilla Firefox is the web browser of choice. Infact, it should be everyone’s web browser of choice! It’s fast, efficient, reliable, and best of all, highly adaptable!
