removing a person or abject from a background to use in a different photo


Recommended Posts

Im trying to cut people and objects out from its original background and place it on another photo to do composites.

I have been trying and followed one video but it seems hit or miss.

Is there a better way of doing it in V2?

This photo here remover her from this background and place her in another background

 

Cheers,

Although it's slower, use the pen tool, you get a editable mask to tweak as you see fit and it works well on fiddly backgrounds.

Did this quickly to show what can be done in a short space of time.

I placed the new background into the existing image but you can also export just the girl. 

Exporting the girl

  1. Select the background layer with the move tool active (V) on the keyboard
  2. File > Export > PNG > Selection Only > Export
  3. Give the file a meaningful name and save to a folder

That should help you, you should now be able to place the girl into any image you want.
