#REMOVE BACKGROUND IN PHOTOSHOP HOW TO#

So if I keep on painting and even if I get inside this it just wonвЂ™t remove it because it has sampled that color already. What does that mean? If you click on that and then you start the sample it takes a sample from the area under the cross-hair but it just doesnвЂ™t continuously sample so if I start painting from here it samples the green color beneath the crosshair and then just keeps it as long as I hold down the brush as long as I donвЂ™t release the brush. It is good when you have hard edges and the background color is constantly changing otherwise itвЂ™s useless. Now the drawback is, what if you put it over the hair, it also samples the hair and erases it. You just paint and it continuously samples. So if I paint right here it will continue the sample from the middle of the brush see the cross-hair in the middle.

Wherever you paint it continuously samples from the area under the cross-hair. How are we sampling the colors? Okay, so the first one is a continuous sampling. So the first one of the first three right here takes care of the sampling.

We just did it which is demonstrated, pause it and think for a moment, what is the one major drawback. So how does it actually work, you tell Photoshop what color the background in your paint and Photoshop analyzes for the background to remove. Why are we seeing black in the background? Because we have black just below layer 1 and we are erasing the background in layer 1. So simply just start from the background make the brush a little smaller and softer and start painting and see how easily the background is being removed. WeвЂ™ll learn all about that but I just want to show you how this tool actually works. So letвЂ™s go ahead and select layer 1 and right now there are some setups youвЂ™re going to talk about settings later. Why? Because in layer one youвЂ™re going to erase the background. Now bring down the solid color adjustment layer under layer one. Now letвЂ™s go ahead and create a solid color adjustment layer click on the adjustment layer icon and then choose a solid color and weвЂ™re going to choose a color like black and then hit OK. Select that and then make a copy of the background layer just for backup (press CTRL or Command J).
