I want to make a graph showing just the people in the foreground, how do I omit the background?

Thanks to anyone who can help me!

Lilbj,

Hi, my suggestion would be to use a graphics program for that. If you're on a PC, I can suggest two very powerful (and best of all, FREE) programs that are available that will allow you to remove the background. I know most people believe Photoshop is the only way to go, but as it's a bit pricey, I like to suggest these programs.

I can't tell you how they work, as I use an ANCIENT (circa 1998

) program, but there are online manuals and tutorials that explain how they work.
