Start experimenting with the background. Use brushes for it and occasionaly some filters. Download brushes from Deviant Art. Then after, add an image and cut it, preferably with the pen tool. The ereser isn't accurate and the Lasso is only good for small jobs. It's too faulty in my opinion. Then add some render effects to blend the player by doublicating the player various times and adding gaussion blurs and motion blurs, smart blurs and occasionaly some sharpening to make the image look natural. Desaturate the top layer by pressing Shift+Ctrl+U to have a better blending. Then to finish it off, do some fine brushing to it like ornamental brushing etc.

I hope that helped you. Look around for some tutorials to get the hang of it. There are plenty on this site. Obviously,this is quite basic but there are other ways to make a sig, like smudging etc.

Photoshop is the best but if you want to start to get some basics of it, get GIMP. It's free and Photoshop costs 550$! Of course, there are other ways to get it but I'm not supposed to mention them.

I don't like breaking the laws. I bet there are other people who are willing to activate Photoshop for you.
