can I make those big head cut outs with PS cc

[thomash93813917]

I have taken a photo and tried to make one of those big head cut outs but the resolution changed and mad the print out blurry and I had a hard time trying to figure out how big to make it. I don't want it much bigger than my own head so I can still use my personal printer. I am a novice with the photoshop CC to say the least so frustration sets in quickly with all the bells and whistles. Any help or tutorial would be helpful.

Thank you

I am not sure from your description but it sounds like you want to enlarge a face to just above life size and print it out?

To do that simply:

1. Start with an image with enough pixels in the wanted area - a thumbnail from the web will never enlarge to 11-12 inches without looking blurred and pixelated.

2. In the layers panel click on the lock symbol so that background changes to Layer 0

3. Use the selection tools, such as quick select, to select the face.

4. Add a layer mask - using Layer > Layer Mask >Reveal Selection

5.  Select the crop tool and type in the required size (example below)

5a. Adjust the crop handles by dragging to remove any excess space

6. File > Print

Thank you to every one who answered this for me. I now know to stay away from that green screen and use other back grounds. Thank you very much
