Deleating Backround Of A Picture

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone

I need some help. I would like to erase everything from the backround of a picture except for one object, which I would eventually like to place on a layer by itself so I can add it to a LO. I know you can use the selection and inverse commands but I forgot how to do it. I have Ro's tutorials but if this action is covered i

really can't remember or find it.

If at all possible I would appreciate an email because I find it difficult to find the response to my posts I'm new to all this LOL :disappearing-smilie:

I know we talked about this in the chat, but just in case...

 

Use the polygonal lasso tool or the magic wand to select the object

 

Shift+control+i to reverse the selection (or do select>inverse)

 

then, hit delete.

 

 

Just a recommendation from personal experience, copy the layer first before you do the selection so you have a backup in case you don't like the way it turns out.

 

HTH!

 

And it was good to talk to you in the chat!
