Because the admin of this site is working, no doubt very rapidly
it will be well-known, due to its feature contents.

Not a stupid question at all; it depends on the size of the object or the scenario.. At times you may want to just copy a small part out of a larger image, or in some instances remove the background entirely so the element can be composited into a bigger picture

Please forgive any stupidity if im showing with this question, as i’ve still got a lot to learn!
But what are the main reason(s) for removing the background from the subject as opposed to removing the subject from the background?
Thanks in advance, and thank you on making my learnings easier with your great site!

Hey Jazmin, appreciate the comment – those reading your feedback now know how to take the concept further!

From experience, Ive found that taking out the background in chunks gives the psychological boost of ‘progress’ – however I only normally do it in 3 or 4 pieces. There’s loads of different variants in method, and thats the beauty of it, hopefully this walkthrough acts as a gentle introduction and gets people on the right ‘path’ so to speak lol.. Excuse the lame pun.

gotta love the path tool – though I disagree on chopping away chunks instead of creating one nice path around the object. Apart from the fact that it seems to me that a lot of time goes into the closing-and-filling of each segment, you can create a vector mask from the complete path (click the layer mask button twice with the path selected) which lets you come back to the outlines should you find you chopped away too much or too little. That also lets you use the path for the bits that need to be sharp while you can cut around the hair generously and use the layer mask and a brush to deal with that. And lastly, you can save the path with the original jpg for future use (I think for that you need to double click on it and rename it from workpath to anything so it will stick).

great explanation though as always
