How to Remove an Unwanted Image Background

I kind of like this picture the way it is, but the more I look at it, the more I wonder what it would look like without the reflection. Would the dog look less bored if I didn't see him sitting in the store window? In this article I will demonstrate how to remove an image background using some tools in Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0. "Would you like to learn digital photography solutions that carry professional photographers to where they are today? Well, The Top Secret Photography Techniques would likely help you out in doing so. To obtain spectacular photos we primary need to look at some essential photography methods. The most important one I am able to share with you is identify about light. You can come across everything concerning photography techniques on , The Top Secret Photography Techniques. Whenever you find out about light and in what method it interacts with the direct environment then your images will get superior..". The technique is not difficult, but it does require some patience and experimentation.

Instructions

The first tool to use is the QUICK SELECT TOOL which you can find on the tool palette at the left of the image screen. As you move the tool over the image it will select parts of the image. When you select the part that you want, stop moving the mouse. Next click COPY from the drop-down menu to copy the image to the clipboard.

From the FILE menu select NEW to bring up the new file box. The size will automatically be the size of the image you copied. You can change size, color mode and background from this menu for your new file. Click OK when you are finished making your choices.

Select PASTE from the FILE menu to paste what you copied from the clipboard into your new file. Notice we have intentionally left out one paw of the dog to prevent having to airbrush it out in post production. We have also removed all the clutter in the background distracting us from looking at the dog.

FILL the background with the color of the matte the dog is lying on. We could also use quick select again to select the matte and turn it white. I elected, however, to use the EYEDROPPER tool and select the color of the matte. I then used the FILL tool to fill the background with the same color.

The picture looked pretty good but the dog was still outlined by the original selection. Using the BLEND tool I repeatedly blended the two layers making it a unified background. The dog still looks just as bored to me. The original picture tells a story, but this one just shows a bored dog. This is further proof that just because you CAN do something doesn't always mean that you SHOULD.
