Removing Backgrounds


1. Open up the image you want to remove the backgroud of in Photoshop.
2. Right-click the lasso tool in the left hand side menu, and make sure either 'Polygonal Lasso Tool' or 'Magnetic Lasso Tool' is selected. At the top of the screen, change the 'Feather 0px' to 1 px.



3. Draw carefully around the part of the picture you want to cut; this may take a lot of practice to get exactly right, but don't give up! :)



4. Once you've drawn all the way round, it should automatically become selected like this:



5. Press 'Ctrl' (and hold) then 'C', to copy, Ctrl and N to create a new image (click okay), then Ctrl and V to paste. Don't worry if it doesn't look amazing the first time round, search for some simple images to practice with :)



6. If your image is a bit messy like mine, go through the tutorial again and neaten up the edges a bit :D
