Hi and thanks for your time.
What the best way to extract this tin of paint?
I have about 30 of these photos that i took of different spraycans. I bought a white piece of paper and shined a torch onto the subject as i though it would be far easier to edit if i needed to. Actually to be honest i though i would just have to take out the rotating moter stand thing out. What i didn't factor in was the gradient that the torch light produced.
Ive tried cloning areas around but the gradient is making it hard to blend with a soft brush.
Ive tried picking colours and painting as i go around.
Tried the magnet lasso tool etc the pen tool scares me.
Basically what i though would be a simple process is now taking me ages.
I would just be happy now if i could just extract the tin from the background as this seems to be the quickest way to go i think.
its been a while since ive used photoshop and only have photoshop 7.
Sorry if this seems like a noob question ( it probably is )
Im happy to have a go myself again but if i can get advice on the best approach then ill just go for it rather than flip back and forth in tool frustration.
Thanks again.
