You said that you have to be 80-85 to get heirlooms. On my first char ever (undead rogue) i played a lot of random battlegrounds and i got the pvp shoulders. It takes time but it was totally worth it :D. And btw great guide.
You can smooth the hard edges of a selection by feathering. Feathering blurs edges by building a transition between the selection and surrounding pixels. This blurring can cause some loss of detail at the edge of the selection.
Use the Smudge tool to gently reshape important edges into more appealing and softer lines. In the Photoshop toolbox, the Smudge tool is a pointing-finger icon. If you can't spot it, press the SHIFT-R keyboard shortcut (you may need to do this twice) to highlight the retouching tools.he last option for Smudge is Finger Painting, which uses the foreground color in the Tools bar at the beginning of each stroke. Leave the Finger Painting checkbox deselected for now. It's now time to shift your focus back to your photo. If necessary, select the Magnifying Glass tool and enlarge the photo to 100%.
