    Trying to remove background from an image

    I am trying to remove the background from an image. I have tried using the quick selection tool, the magic wand tool, the magnetic lasso tool. Alas, it's not going well. It seems that I can not get the image of the person fully selected. The tools seem too sensitive. When I use the magnetic...

    Polygonal Lasso Failure

    I use the polygonal lasso for most of my selections. Lately it has been failing...in other words, I am clicking, extending the line, when all of a sudden, the line becomes inactive...the cursor isn't connected to the selection line and it floats free as I move it around. I have tried restarting...

    Magic Lasso

    Hi, I want to cut a person out from a photo with a background and put them in a silly situation. Is the Magic Lasso the best tool for this? I can never seem to get it to "cut out" properly and then I'm unable to blend the figure in with the new background. I'm badly losing this Photoshop War! lol

    Hi all, I have finished using the Polygonal Lasso tool to select an object with ruff edges by zooming to 200% and slowly making my way around the shape, when I finished I did a "Refine" for the selection and it looked fine. Then I subtracted 2 new areas, each of these two areas are separate...

I'm an automotive photographer, and was recently asked at one of my dealerships to edit the backgrounds of the cars to look like they are in a studio on a cycle wall.

    Hi people, I've spent about an hour and a half (my very first try at photoshop) trying various tools and watching some tutorials, but I still haven't found a way to make this right: my goal is to take away the whole bathroom and to make it look like the wall just continues behind the girl...

    How to copy a lasso selection for rotoscope work...

    Dear people smarter than me, I need to do some rotoscope work on a piece of video in Photoshop. I can't use After Effects in this instance, I have to use Photoshop. So I want to cut out the image of a submarine as it is sinking slowly. The sub is slightly rotating as it sinks, so it's basic...

    Polygonal lasso tool creates squary lines, why?

    (I think) I'm not a newbie anymore when it comes to Photoshop, but the thing that's happening now is beyond my knowledge. Somehow, when I try to make triangles using the Polygonal Lasso tool, it converts the straight lines to squares. Hoping someone knows why this is happening. Here's how it...

    Stupid problem with Lasso tool - self-closes

    I'm having a ridiculous problem with the Lasso tool. I'm making a selection, and it randomly closes on me. At first I thought I mistakenly hit something on the keyboard, or clicked 2 points on my path a little too quickly, but I've since realized that it happens when I'm not touching the...

    Polygonal Lasso + Brightness = Unwanted Glow

    Whenever I use the Polygonal Lasso tool lately, and then modify the brightness of the item selected, it creates a "GLOW" around the *outside* of what I have selected. So when I deselect it, there is now this "aura" around the item. I have gone into all the settings, messed with "Feather"...
