omggg there are like ten ways to cut out a PNG in superimpose, although all of them attain different quality of results. i'll be doing a whole chapter just to work on superimpose features, so i'm only going to be showing one method of how to do it in superimpose. i don't really recommend this method over the others tho, it doesn't always attain satisfactory results.

step one.
open up a background, and then the model you want to cut into a PNG as the foreground. go to mask, and click on the two screws in the top right corner. it'll show a bunch of options, but today we'll be working with the magic wand

step two.
ahhh don't really know how to explain this :// when that ummm circle thing comes, keep moving your fimger across the screen until the part you want to be masked out is masked. don't try to do all of it at once! do it in steps ;)

if you make a mistake and lift your finger off the screen and it masks out too much, you can always undo using the left one of the two arrows in the top left corner
