Cutting Anonymous
I'm a newbie to photoshop. where can i get a tutorial to cut out the background on this pic.

I would personaly take the time to cut it out using the magic wand tool. I am as well a newbie, but it seems like a good option. if you dont know where to start, the magic wand tool lets you select areas of similar color and gain. if you click on an area, you can delete what you select (it will clearly show you in dotted lines) then, doubble click inside of that area after to make the dotted lines go away, and keep going untill the girl is on her own, (or the box if you want it) and there you go

after I personally would create a new document to the size of what you want cut, and drag it over, so it doesn't have the large blank background near it.

So you are saying that i shouldnt cut out the girl, but to delete the things around her using the magic wand first and then cut her out.

hmmm if it was me, first crop it down to just the inside of the window - then color-replace one of the check colors to the other check color - after that it depends on your desired level of accuracy and/or patience.

Just copy the first layer(ctrl+j) and put a new transparent layer under the first layer and delete the other copy, and use the pen tool to cut outside of the chick, when you connect points and finish the path right click>fill path, and choose clear under the mode drop down box.

Magic wand (and similar automatic tools like color replacment, etc) is fine in a .gif or low-color .png file where there's no blending of colors going on. In this case, when seperating the foreground from the background, or "cleaning" an image, the magic wand is garbage.

All the automatic methods turn out bad in this sort of work. Polygon mask is a little more work but worth the effort.

>>In this case

Exactly, telling people something is 'garbage' because its not the best tool for specific case is just spreading misinformation.
