help with photoshop

What tool do I use to delete the background of an image. I have a pic of a person I want to take out the background so I can put the person on another pic.

 

You could use the magic wand tool to remove it, or if this does not work well... Try the Marquee tool and draw around them best you can.

 

The best tool to use in this case is the "Pen Tool" or the "Magnetic Lasso Tool"
Just try using the frequency option of Magnetic Lasso tool, you'll get awesome results..

 

Magic wand tool worked. Thanks.

 

Use magic wand tool and select inverse to delete the background ...

 

If the magic wand doesn't work well (hair for example), there are two superb plugins called KnockOut and Fluid Mask.

 

you should use the quick mask. Look in the photoshop help for quick mask it is the fastest and cleanest way. Don't use the magic wand tool ever.

 

I use plugin that can erase background perfectly. Search photoshop plugin.

 

use the pen or the lasso tool to select and then invert and press delete I can give you a link to a tutorial of mine on youtube

 

Is this plug-in available for free and if yes...can you please name it or at best direct me to the place for download?

Thanks and regards,

hi
Use magic wand tool and select inverse to delete the background then drag your picture
then use merge too.
thank

 

If youre trying to move just the person use the magnet lasso to go around the entire person then you can just drag them into the other photo. It is much easier than erasing the entire background.

 

Magic wand is the way to go, if not any of the lassos.

 

Or, if you really want, some sites come with alreayd rendered photos, you may get lucky and find what you need there.

Edit: if it's a personal picture, of course you wont find it there

 

use photoshop, if you don't know how, its quite simple, im not gonna go over it, but just take a look at the manual,

 

What's there to go over, you click on the wand and click on back ground

 

the pen tool is best of photoshop...
