Cutout is almost the most basic operation in image processing. It can also be said to be one of the very conventional technologies in PS. Cutout is really not difficult. Only need to master some basic knowledge. Basically, you can complete the cutout. Relatively speaking, it is more important to be patient and very careful. So how to cutout with PS? The following four steps are worth learning.
Magic wand tool
The first step: we can first hold down Ctrl+O, and then open a picture. Switch to the magic wand tool again immediately. Then adjust the appropriate tolerance in the option bar. Then you can select the area of the picture. Remember, holding down shift is to increase the selection. Hold down alt to subtract the selection.
Step 2: Right-click to find the reverse and select it. In this way, most of the basic cutout is completed.
Step 3: Hold Ctrl+Shift+J to cut the selected area into a new layer. At the same time, move the corresponding selection layer out. The cutout is basically complete.
Note: This method is more suitable for pictures with a simple background. And pictures without too many details. So the effect will be slightly rough. But the speed is still very fast. This saves operating time.
Quick selection tool
In the first step, you can find the quick selection tool in the toolbar. Then you can set up the picker. The next step is selection.
Step 2: After selecting the area, you must start to adjust the edge settings. Then optimize the selection again. Finally, we can select the final area we want.
Note: If you choose this method to select an area, try to cooperate with the shortcut keys. This will make the cutout effect even better.
Magnetic lasso tool
The first step is to open the picture. Then switch to the magnetic tool. Suppose our cutout object is an apple. Use a magnetic tool to trace the entire apple.
In the second step, we can copy the selected layer to a new layer. Then choose to hide the background layer. This can quickly pull out the apple.
Note: This method is suitable for situations where the edge is different from the background. Especially there is a strong contrast between them. Its advantage lies in its simplicity.
Polygonal lasso tool
First. First, switch our toolbar to the polygon tool. Assume that the object of the cutout is an airplane. Just make a straight line connection to the key points on the plane. Then form a polygonal area.
Second. Combine shortcut keys at this time. Such as ctrl++ number, ctrl+- number, etc.
Third. Press ctrl+j, and then copy the layer. Finally, move the plane over in the corresponding layer.
The above are the four methods of how to cutout with PS. Note: This method is relatively simple, it is to manually pull a little bit slowly. They are suitable for long and straight edge lines. If it is an arc, don't use it like this.
