PS6 Help?

[spacedog]

I use photoshop6 & fireworks4

What I want is to take an image & remove the background..

can anyone tell me how to cut out part of an image?

Or, remove an images background & make the background transparent.. I want to take the image & cut it out & paste it onto another image?

Pen tool. Use it to trace the outline, turn it into a selection, invert it, delete key twice, feather radius 2 pixels.

Quick and dirty way.

there should be an eraser tool, thats what u use

also you can use the color channels to remove parts of an image

i'm still learning too

Magic Lasso and the delete key work, too.

i use the magic wand alot. just adjust the tolerance. keep adding to the selection, then invert the selection and hit delete

thats how i made the bling bling mobile

The lasso tool is probably the fastest, cleanest way to cut out images. Dupe a new layer to work in, turn off the view on your original layer, pump your magnification up to 500-600 percent, feather to 0 and cut away. Cut too much? That's where the history brush helps.

Here's a tutorial on using the Extract feature in PS. It gives brilliant results.
