How to delete background of pictures using Photoshop?

Asked By Edgar traitor 100 points N/A Posted on - 04/25/2011

This may be a very basic thing to do in Photoshop but I didn't have any single clue in doing this.

I wish someone could give me a couple of methods to do this in a simple way for me to understand.

I could give you my favorite background removing technique. I use polygon lasso tool. Before selecting it, make sure your feather is change to 1-3 pixels.

Now draw a line at your subject and after you complete drawing line around your subject, press right click and select "select inverse" and hit the delete button.

This should have a cool extraction without even trace of background detected.

If you don't understand how to use the pen tool, you can always use the eraser tool.

It is effective but time consuming.
