Instructions
Step 1
Open the photo from which you will cut out the face. It is best if the contours of the face are sufficiently clear and contrasting in relation to the background. Then select the Rectangular Lasso Tool from the toolbar. It will allow you to accurately and accurately select the contour of the face and cut it out from unnecessary background.
Step 2
Zoom in at least 2x so as not to miss the slightest selection details, and begin to select the image in small steps using the lines of the rectangular lasso. When the path is closed, click on the closing point and you will see a selection appear on the image (Select). Right-click on it, select Layer via Copy from the context menu that appears and copy the face to a new layer.
Step 3
Now, using the move tool, you can drag the face onto any other background.
In addition, you can use another way to extract the selected area from the background - after the selection is finished, invert the image (Ctrl + Shift + I), the selection will completely go to the background areas surrounding your face. Press the Delete key and the background will be completely removed.
If you can't remove the background because the main layer (background) is locked, just duplicate it and work with the duplicate.
Step 4
Then invert the image again so that the face is selected again. After that, you can do whatever you want with the cut object: place it into ready-made templates, add new backgrounds, and so on.
