Extract An Object In Photoshop

Photoshop allows users to remove objects from an image and place them into another.


Adobe Photoshop is sophisticated image manipulation and creation software that features many advanced filters. These filters make it easier for professionals to create effects that otherwise would take hours of manual work to complete. Photoshop's Object Extraction filter allows the user to specify an object in any image and then remove it from its background. This comes in handy when users need to remove an object from one image and place it into another.


Instructions


1. Open the image that you wish to manipulate by left-clicking on "File" and then "Open." Double left-click on the image name.


2. Left-click within the layers palette, located in the right-hand side of the Photoshop work space, on the layer that you wish to manipulate.


3. Press "Alt", "Ctrl", and "X" at the same time. Left-click on the "Smart Highlighting" option in the dialog box that appears.


4. Left-click on the orange, pencil shaped highlighting tool in the upper left of the dialog box to select it.


5. Left-click on the edge of the object to be removed and slowly and carefully drag the mouse cursor around the entire edge. Release the left-click when the entire edge of the object has been highlighted in green.


6. Left-click on the Fill Tool, the purple paint bucket icon below the Highlighting Tool. Left-click within the selection that you made in the previous step.


7. Left-click on "OK."
