I was able to sucessfully cut the viper image from the background though it
was very tedious. I suppose better lighting in the original photograph would
have made that task a bit easier. Assuming I improve my photography set up,
is there a way to get photo shop to “auto-extract” the foreground image?

I’ve had good success using the following method (home-made blue/green screen):
1. find some fabric whose color is not in the model and place model on a big
piece of this fabric so that the fabrick forms a “floor” and “back wall” 2.
try to evenly illuminate the model or at least have artistic shadows (I like to
photograph out on my back “deck”--o.k., it’s a big concrete slab) 3.
photograph using different exposure settings and different flash settings 4.
find photo that best represents your “vision” 5. scan / upload photo into
computer 6. adjust image to taste 7. using the “magic wand” selection tool to
automatically select the background 8. now that the background is selected, use
the “inverse” item under the “select menu” to select everything that is not
currently selected and deselect everything that was selected. 9. copy selection
and paste into new document on new layer.
You may still need to manually clean up some of the edges, but this has worked
pretty well for me. You will probably want to avoid blacks and grays for your
background fabric (also try to use non-shiny fabrics as these often cause
reflections when using a flash). I personally use a piece of “neon green” cloth
that I picked up for about $5 (found it in the clearance bin at a local fabric
store).
