Use the selection tools that are effective for each object - you will often need to use several different tools to create your selection.
To remove a selection choose SELECT > DESELECT You can choose to select the background or the subject - which ever one is easier! If you select the background around your subject, you can press the delete key on the keyboard to remove it - or just use the ERASER TOOL. A LAYER MASK would work as well...choose the method you like the best! |
