You will often want to separate a person or an object from a background or photo so that you can use it in another background or photo. In this tutorial, I will show you how easy it is to extract them out!
Preparation:
Open your image first by going Menu Bar: File > Open > select image or simply drag it into the Photoshop workspace.
This tutorial was done on Adobe Photoshop CS5. Other versions may vary slightly.
This tutorial is very important, and almost essential in most Photoshop situations. You will find that in many situations, you may want to change the color of a certain object in a photograph, or you want to crop out a single object from a poster. The trouble is that although we can see and differentiate the object that we want, the computer cannot. It’s a single image file to them. So what do we do? We simply have to outline out the object that we want, and save it as another image file so the computer recognises it. We can then do whatever we want with our outlined object, from changing its color, to transforming it, etc.
