The trouble is, it is not an easy task and tracing round someone with a selection tool for example, can be very tricky. You then either copy the object and paste it into a new image as a new layer or invert the selection and delete everything but the object. You might want to build a composite image by adding objects from other photos, and so on.Īny half decent photo editor is able to do this and using the selection tool, you can trace around the object to select it. You can either show no background and just have it on white or replace the current one with something else. It is sometimes very useful to remove an object from a photo or to erase the background. However, people that use photos for print or the web or to create collages, memes and so on, do this regularly.
If you use photos for more than just reminding yourself of happy events like holidays, birthdays, weddings and so on, you probably never felt the need to cut objects out of images. How do you cut out an object and remove the background in a photo? Use Background Eraser, a brilliant tool.
Sometimes you need an object in a photo, but not the distracting background.
