Hello, I've been away from graphic design and animation since 2006. Wondering if there has been much changes in the industry since then. Which is the Best graphic design software and Animation Software for 2009?

Seems to be the same problem as usual.Do you made the pictures with your own camera ?
Then, you should do as all the professionals, put a monochrome background behind the shoes you are photographing, and then you can easily remove this background with the usual photoshop tools.
If the pictures are already set up, then, zoom on the shoes and take a big eraser to remove roughly everything, and then take a very small eraser and remove each pixel which does not belong to the shoes.
Do not destroy the original image because if you do a mistake, it will be horrible.

Hello,
The best tool to use for this is the Lasso and Magic Wand since you are using photoshop. It gives flexibility especially when you are working on curving objects.
