Thanks CR, still working out cleanly cropping stuff, as far as clipping that will probably be an issue until I dig my desktop out of it's box and have a bigger screen than my laptop to work with. I think I'm going to have to change my background again to allow for cleaner removal around flamy/swirly power fx. And then figure out how to soften those edges.
