Hi,
I am designing a catalog however the photos have a background, for example the pictures are of shoes but i can see the table the shoe is sitting on and the background behind the shoe, is there a way to cut the shoes out in Photoshop so the background is removed? Thanks |

I have to agree with Andy. You want to use the pen tool to accomplish this job. You may also want to read up on this article as well: http://blindmansgfx.net/Tutorial_html/rend...orial_text.html
You may also want to read up on how to use the BLUR tool. |

polygonal lasso tool is great and quick to use, you have to do it in sections and use the delete button aswell - very easy to use with mouse if you dont have a graphics tablet

Thanks omg people help the guy by giving him tips not links. well what I would do is use gimp ussually as it has a feature called color to alpha (which is transparent) and for example if your background was white I would suggest using the color to alpha feature. If you have a table and floor or something else you want to get rid of gimp has an eraser tool that makes what it erases transparent. If you use paint I would suggest using the earser tool to erase what you don't want. then open it in a prgram (like gimp or photo shop) and make the background transparent If you can't do it then I would be happy to do it for you. pm me the image and I will earase the backgroud for you.

sometimes i use the eraser. i zoom it as close as i can and use the eraser tool to delete away the background image...
i know its a lot of manual labor but a little patience always pay a lot... |
