Adobe Photoshop Tutorial (Removing Background)

First a very good and useful video, however the choice of music leaves a lot to be desired. I love Pink Floyd and own almost every album they've ever cut (ah, the rubbishy old vinyl days, when they actually cut the grooves into plastic platters and you could barely hear it for the hiss and the pops!) but it distracts from the tutorial. I get more interested in the music than the information, which is what I want. Try some ambient sounds or even classical, Bach or Mozart, something that fades into the background but gives depth.

Thanks for this very helpful tutorial.

Yes, the magic wand leaves stuff behind or, worse, removes stuff you want. I would use it very carefully. I only use the wand on solid color backgrounds where the subject is in high contrast to it. But this video shows the best way to do it.

of course he's good looking,, he should be.. 'coz he's brad pitt. ^_^

no, actually. Cs2 don't have the quick selection tool, like cs3. sry :P

there are other methods to use.. much more efficent

great video but will this work in cs2 thnx

can we also do this on much complicated pictures like trees and plants?

Nice work, agreed on the magic wand tool....fastest way to make your head spin in cicles!

yes i doble clicked on the backgorund and it became a layer..how can i delete it then?when i clear it i becme blurred and can't use the background erasing tool..

on the background layer you mean? Then you gotta double click on the layer text, ''background''.. and just press enter when you have opened another box.. or sumthing.. just re if you made it or not :P

:)

Thank you very much!
Brad Pitt.. hehe --,

Okay, this is a really good video. I like the text portion and the music was so cool. AND the guy is great looking, lol.

I get that a lot, that I should use my voice! But then maybe I will use it in my next tutorials!

thanks anyway :D

Yes i had the same problem, when i double clicked , nothing happened plus how do i delete.. ?? i agree would be better explained with voice. cheers anyway

Oh never mind I got it but how did u deleted it lol I double click on the background that wasn't color in right?
