I know this must sound idiotic, but I'm checking in case there is some kind of technique involved that I don't know about.

"First I used a colour fill layer to erase the background"

So here you must have made a selection of the figure, inverted it and then filled in around it? Or did you create a fill layer and then mask it to make the figure visible?

[afeastforme]

it's not idiotic! anyway i usually just create the colour fill layer than lower the opacity and erase the subject on the mask to make it visible. You can also create the fill, then invert the mask (ctrl+i with the mask selected) and repaint the background with a brush, however it's easier for you or in my case faster!
