istockphotos seem to have white backgrounds. I like to remove the white background, and retain the shadows of the subject.
I don’t have any problem capturing the shadows ctrl + alt + ~ invert the selection, then fill with black
So the shadows are in a layer. Now I need the subject in a layer over the shadows but it can be very difficult to isolate a mask the image subject as the shadows usually adjoin the image.
Are there any good tricks for the 2nd step.. masking the subject and not the shadows?
