Check this picture, it's a simple guide to word ballons. I know it is in Spanish but it should be the same in English. Hope it helps.



Try decreasing the opacity of the ballon layer, it is useful when the ballon covers part of the picture.

That's a convenient addition to Photoshop. Looks like it's time for me to upgrade.

Have you tried using Layer Masks with the brush tool?

Depending on what exactly you ar etrying this can be easy. Eraser (when you ajust the size and brush so that it doesn't do that "fade' effect) is a good option. If you are going for a straight up take something from one pic and put it on annother the extraction tool might be what you need (right under filters). The pain about is for one thing once you zoom in you can't zoom back out (or if you can I haven't figured it out). Also to make it smooth you need to have a large pic with a small line drawn (no more than 2 pix, Try for 1 where you can) and if you miss one little pixal you will have to look through it to try to fill it in, then you will get your relitivly smooth extraction. If you make the lines too big you will have pixalation and the image will look like crap.

On an added note if you want a quicky way to do a really fast motion blur on a vehcile or figure use the extraction tool and the "force forground" effect, once you chose the color you want click preview and it will extract only that color, afte that just add the blur and you are set.. It's what I use with superman in toxie and it works great. Also that technique is gold for fire, muzzle fashes, boat wakes, diver bubbles, there are tons of applications with it.
