Once you have launched Photoshop, you must first choose the image you are going to work on. Click on “File” in the menu bar, then on “Open”.

Select the object to be cut

The image to be cut has now taken place in the central work area. We will now have to isolate the element you want to keep before removing the bottom. To do this, the first thing to do is click on the quick selection tool in the toolbar.

You can see in the image below that the clutch is not yet very precise (in terms of legs for example).

You must now delimit the outline more clearly. To retouch with more precision, you can use the “Zoom” tool. After selecting it in the bar on the left of the screen, you just have to click on the part of the image that must be enlarged. Several clicks may be necessary to reach the desired size. For Diszoman, you must maintain the “Alt” key pressed and click on the image (the zoom tool must always be active).

From now on, you must remove the selection of unwanted areas. To achieve this, pass again on the quick selection tool, hold the “Alt” key, then click on the small areas not part of the object. In the same way as for the selection of the item, you can keep the left button of the mouse pressed to widen the area which should not be selected.

Delete the background of the image

When you arrived at a satisfactory result, it is time to isolate and separate the object cut from the image. To do this, right -click on the object, then on “Copy tracing”. The new layer appears to the right. Just below, you can now right click on the background and choose “delete the layer”.

The gray and white boxes materialize the absence of a background, it is different from a white background. The final image must look like this.

Move the object cut on a second image

Once the object has been cut, you can save it to use it later. To do this, click on “File” then “Save under” (by choosing the suitable format). But you also have the possibility of encrusting it directly on another image.

To get there, first import a new image (file> Open) which is displayed in a new tab. Return to the first tab. Then select the “Travel” tool in the toolbar on the left. Now, all you have to do is drag and place the cut down to the other tab.
