Very often, personal computer users are faced with the question of how to separate the image from the background. This is called clipping. This technique is very necessary for those who post product photos on different backgrounds or just make a collage. To accomplish this, knowledge of graphic editors is required. One of the most popular is Adobe Photoshop.
Instructions
Step 1
To separate the element of the image you want from the background, you must first select it. Adobe Photoshop offers several selection methods. The first way is when the selected object has the correct shape, for example, a square. Take from the toolbar "rectangular selection". Contour the object. Right-click on the image, in the menu that appears, select "copy to a new layer". The object will appear on a new layer. Turn off all other layers and save the clipped object in.
Step 2
The second method is applied to objects of not very complex shapes. Open your image in Adobe Photoshop. Select "polygonal lasso" from the toolbar. Contour the object you want. Note that this tool creates a selection in a straight line. Close the resulting path. Copy it to a new layer and save as in the first method.
Step 3
The third way highlights the general background around the subject. This method works well for images with a solid background. Open your image, select "magic wand" from the toolbar. Click on the background around the object you want. The selection will load. Use the magic wand tool until the entire background is selected. After that go to the "selection" menu. Select the "inversion" item. Now only the object you want will be selected in your image. Copy it to a new layer and save it as a separate file.
Step 4
In the fourth method, you can use the Quick Selection tool. Open your image. Take the Quick Selection Tool. Select the desired cursor size. Trace the outlines of your subject. Extra edges of the selection can be removed by switching the tool to the "subtraction" mode (brush with a "minus" sign in the upper tool menu). If you were highlighting the background around your subject, you need to do an inversion. Now right click on the selected area. In the menu that appears, select the "copy to a new layer" item. Save your subject. These are a few easy ways to help you quickly process the image you want. Remember that separating an object from the background is based on making it stand out from the overall picture.
