Goldash007 uses Adobe Photoshop CS2, if I'm correct. I'm not aware of the tool he uses, but the most common ones to cut out the background from the focal are the Polygonal Lasso Tool, Magnetic Lasso Tool, Background Eraser Tool, Magic Eraser Tool. I'm sure that there are many more ways to render images, however you can look for tutorials on www.Google.com by using the following keywords: photoshop render tutorials

Hopefully I was helpful.

Goldash007 has VinceNeil1981 on his side, doing color commentary. However, Vince appearance in the URWL is something unusual as a color commentator, due its difficulty.

Two guys and one mic is hard to get the same effect as a legit commentary setup, also there is often a degree of acting involved since when most CAW leagues record the matches and then add the commentary afterward so the element of surprise isn't there. I got my friend to help me one time and he just wouldn't take things seriously and tried to be funny. Had he actually been funny I'd have included it but he wasn't. It's a difficult balance and I'd get nervous about doing the commentary.

I can see the benefits of adding a color commentator, but it depends on who you know that fits with your own style.

"Hey, you suck!" is indeed a question.

Jokes aside, great job on this FAQ so far.
