I am creating a few tutorials around the topic of creating transparency masks on a tree, in this case a palm tree, to isolate it from the background, i.e. turn the background transparent. Then you can use it in compositions, paintings, animations and such...

here's part 1 - short intro

the first few parts will be focused on still images, so you can use PD Artist. Some additional parts will be going further and looking at animation, wth PD Howler, and Carrara too
