The following summarized methods, some of the traditional tools to play, some Photoshop new tools to use, there are a variety of image processing skills of the synthesis. And our goal is to try to get the most effective results with the most concise operation.
Method One: Magnetic lasso tool
The magnetic Lasso (magnetic lasso) tool works very well when you need to deal with a sharp contrast in the color of the graphics and background. The more obvious the contrast, the more accurate the magnetic lasso tool is.
Method Two: Path tool
Using the path to pull the image is more suitable for the contour is more complex, the background is also more complex images.
Method Three: Magic Eraser Tool
The Magic Eraser (Magic Eraser) tool focuses on the features of Eraser and magic wand tools. When you select the Magic Eraser tool, click the mouse in the image and the area of the image that is similar to this color will be erased. Especially for the background of a single image, with Magic Eraser to pull like is quite a good choice.
Method Four: Background rubber tools
When you have a significant color difference in the foreground of your image and the background you need to erase, consider using the background eraser (Background Eraser Tool).
Method Five: Photoshop's Extract Extract is a new feature designed for "picking up" in Photoshop 5.5, which is located in the Image menu. You can select the layer you want to work on in the Layer panel and click the Image > Extract menu, and a dialog box titled "Extract" pops up.
Method Six: Skillfully using the Channel
Using Alpha channels to isolate objects in an image is a good way to deal with people photos. People tend to have hair, to deal with such a small hair silk objects, magic wand is not necessarily competent, and the use of the Path tool is very unrealistic. The use of Background Eraser tools can damage the "hair", while Magic Eraser to erase the small parts between the hair can make people feel powerless.
The above is the use of Photoshop's own drawing skills, in fact, there are some tools such as Mask Pro filter, as well as Corel Knockout, and so on, can help us in different specific situations to complete the pull map work.
Method Seven: Mask Pro filter Cutout
The Mask Pro filter has two important concepts: preserve color and discard color. The reserved color is the color that is retained in the screen, and the discard color represents the color to be removed. Determine the two types of colors after the use of magic tools to wipe away the color, pull the image is successful.
Method VIII: COREL Knockout
Using a powerful masking tool Corel knockout, you can "pull" the foreground objects of the Fringe (feathers, fur, shadows, hair, smoke, transparency, etc.) from the background and apply them to another particular background image.
