    This is a second go around with this picture, given that I just installed CS3. (I tried the cloning out of the background and my skill just didn't manage it, so I thought I would try this....)

    I created a new layer from the background, extracted the folks in the foreground, then using the Magnetic Lasso, selected the folks again and refined the edges. I then blurred another layer and adjusted opacity so that the team would stand out. So far, so good, I think.

    However, I have a slight grey halo around the team. What did I do in my selection to create this? How do I reselect and get rid of it?

    Here's the result so far....

    Oversharpened Mark? That was the first answer that came to mind.

    Maybe?

    The halo appeared before sharpening (tried to sharpen the layer only, but for some reason it wouldn't let me).

    I did blur it, however some more blur, possibly a gradient blur would be better I think. (I used lens blur on the background). Thanks for the comment

    An easy way to correct this is to use your history brush. Select a baseline where the halo did not exist and simple use a small history brush with a 50% opacity and go around the areas where you want to remove the halo.

    I think this is a fine image. I cloned out a couple of distrating things.
    High pass sharpened and sized 10x8.
    I don't know how to get rid of the back ground or blur this one. Did not work for me. I am not a PS guru:>))
