Cutting Images from Pictures Video Tutorials

May 02, 2008 from PauloGabriel's blog

When it comes to Photoshop, one of the easiest things to do is to select an image and cut it from the background. But some people might not know how to do that, so here are some cool video tutorials on how to do it.

That are many ways to do that, from using the lasso tool, to the extraction point, but my favorite by far is using the pen tool, which gives you total control of that process. I hope these are useful to you. ;)

Web Picks #3: GRASS
Web Picks #3: GRASS
Web Picks is a new series here on Abduzeedo. The idea of the articles is to choose a subject, and present photography, artwork, designs, illustrations and tutorials we find on the topic; and put them together. When designing we tend to forget to look at mediums other than the one we are currently working in. We hope this series will illustrate the many dimensions a single subject can have, and provide cross-format insight for each subject
