How do I crop out an image to get rid of the background.
For example .... a photo of a person ... I want the person cut out the
same
way as I would if I took a pair of scissors to the photo. Then I can
place
the person over top of a completely different background.
I can't seem to find the tools or procedure to do this
Help Please
It all depends on the hoto. If you have a photo of a person with slicked-down hair standing in fromt of a green wall, you can use the magic wand tool to select the background. Then invert the selection and copy/paste the person to a new image.
If on the other hand it is a person with wind-blown hair against a similarly colored background (similar to the hair) the job is real nasty. You must use the laso tool and do it manually, pixel by pixel. There may be a better way but I do not know it.
