hey hi
i’m iranian and thx for your tutorials on this site sorry i cant speak english very well but thank u very much.
miss sandra the best way is layer mask this way is very easy way for erase backgrond of pic
To be honest, the best way to extract is the pen tool. You can get the most accurate cut with it possible and the edges are usually pretty smooth. TIP: Don’t do brazier curves right away – just point to point. Once you have a generic form, click the white arrow under the pen tool and right click to add a point, drag that and it will curve your line at that point. You can go through and add some nice points – and even remove the old points.
Very good and quick look.
I agree with tad i use the pen tool gives u more control and the best thing is u can then use the selection tools to move the anchors ^.^
No problem
I’m glad to help. Have fun there!
Thank you very much for your help. I can’t believe I have searched the Internet all day looking for this answer. I found lots of other neat stuff but this should have been all over the place!!
I’m very grateful to you.
Hi Sandra,
1) Open up the 2 images, your dog and the house, in Photoshop.
2) Extract the dog from its background using one of the methods mentioned above.
3) Use Move tool to drag the extracted dog into house image document as a new layer on top.
4) Close your original dog image document once you have both extracted dog and house in the same document.
5) In case the resolution of these 2 images are different (for e.g. your dog seem to be much bigger than the house), you may go to Edit > Free Transform. Position your cursor to any corners of the selection till you see a 2-sided arrow. Hold down Shift key. Hold down left mouse button as well then start to move your cursor diagonally. This way your dog wil be resize proportionally.
6) Hit Enter once you get the size you want.
Hope these steps are of some help!
I am new to Photoshop but understand how to cut out an image and/or background. What I don’t understand is: Where is this image saved so that I can resize it to fit proportionally into another image (or photo)? I am trying to fit one of my dogs into a photo of my house and front yard. I know I could simply take a photo of him there but he wouldn’t stay.
I would appreciate any advise.
Thank you
nice compilation!
awesome tutorial, i really didn’t know it could be that easy..lol
nice!
