Amp - how can I remove the background from a pic?
 

just wondering how the pros do it?

Photoshop or PSP8

:1orglaugh

print it out, use whiteout on the background, then scan it.

yes, photoshop 7.

but with the extract tool, magnetic lasso?

thnx. I'll give it a try.

depends on background.

If it's mostly the same color you can use Magic Wand tool (w)
But if background is messy, for the best selection of the object I use Polygonal Lasso Tool (L). Just zoom in on the pic and cut away.

LOL thtas funny ... but it would work

the methods I use to remove backgrounds are not shared views by many, and practiced by even less. Therefore, I won't go into it. You'd just find it tedious, excessive, and boring anyway. Just use the magic lasso thingy or whatever, like these guys said. That'll be good enough.

See...there's a way to do it...then there's Amp's way to do it...and you won't know that one!.... :Graucho

Will you really try it?? :helpme

Seriously, zoom on it at like 200-300% and use the Polygonal Lasso tool...(way easier than with the regular lasso)

Ever tried the pen tool? That's my way to do it.

Just like drawing in Illustrator and other Adobe programs.
