How would I "photoshop" someone out of a picture, then save that picture and put it onto another background?

Question

I just want the very outine of the person, no background. And then I want to take this picture and put it back onto a different backgroundCould I do this with Adobe Photoshop, the newest version? PLEASE explain fully, I am technologically impaired and am getting so frustrated. Thanks!

no I have a background image that I want to put the picture (that I cut out) on...if I can do it with any program could you tell me how?

Answer 1

Yes, you can do this with Adobe Photoshop. There are a couple of different ways.

There's the magic wand tool, but it would probably be easier just erasing the background the best you can, and then dragging the picture of the person to the background. You can do this by opening your picture, and the click on the eraser tool in the tools window. Get rid of everything you don't want in the picture. Use the zoom button when you get close to the edges of the person, and make the eraser smaller. When your done, open your background picture and simply click on your person and drag it to the background in the other window.

I've got a mac and I use photoshop, if you're attempting to superimpose one image on to another using software like photoshop I'd recommend a feathered selection so that you get a gentle fade in between your original and new layer - otherwise you'll end up with a very obvious cut and paste

Answer 3

First go to Filter and select "extract". Draw around the object then click on the paint bucket and fill it in. Then click extract. Open your second image. Drag the extracted image onto the new picture. You may want to select the edge of the object and blur it to make it blend in better.
