There are several techniques
for Photoshop background remove. For simple backgrounds, one of the great new
features of Photoshop CC 2020 is the Remove Background Button, which allows you
to remove any image background in a single click. using the standard magic wand
tool to select and delete the background may well be more than adequate. You
might use the Background Eraser tool to remove more complicated backgrounds
First Method
Photoshop Remove Background Button
Remove Background Button is a brand new feature of
Photoshop CC 2020 that allows you to remover the background of any image in a
single click. Let's show you how it works
Photoshop Background Remove Step 1: Open your Image & set New Background
First open the photo in Photoshop which you want to remove
the background And set a background in the bottom layer. See, here I have taken
two different layers of subject and background. You can work with only subject.
Photoshop Background Remove , Step 2: Go to Properties and Find Remove Background Button
Select the subject Layer go to to
properties then scroll down and find Remove Background Button
Photoshop Background Remove , Step 3: Click to Remove Background Button
Just Click to 'Remove
Background' button and see the magic your background is completely removed
automatically.
Second Method
The Background Eraser Tool
The Background Eraser tool
samples the color at the center of the brush and then deletes pixels of a
similar color as you “paint.” It feels like painting with acid. Let me show you
how it works.
Photoshop Remove a Background, Step 1: Open your Image
Start by an image that you
want to remove the background from. I’ll be using this image as it features
areas that range from easy removal through to more challenging spots.
Remove a Background, Step 2: Select Background Eraser
Select the Background Eraser tool
from the Photoshop toolbox. It may be hidden beneath the Eraser tool. If it is,
simply click and hold the Eraser tool to reveal it.
Remove a Background, Step 3: Tune Your Tool Settings
On the tool options bar at the
top of the screen select a round, hard brush. The most appropriate brush size
will vary depending on the image you’re working on. Use the square bracket key
([ or ]) for quickly scaling your brush size.
Note: A low
tolerance limits your eraser to areas that are very similar to your sampled
color. A higher tolerance expands the range of colors your eraser will select.
Remove a Background, Step 4: Begin Erasing
Bring your brush over your
background and begin to erase. You should see a brush-sized circle with small
crosshairs in the center. The crosshairs show the “hotspot” and delete that
color wherever it appears inside the brush area. It also performs smart color
extraction at the edges of any foreground objects to remove ‘color halos’ that
might otherwise be visible if the foreground object is overlayed onto another
background.
Note: For the example image, I actually used a rather
high Tolerance than the 20-25% recommended above due to the wide range
of blues behind this subject.
When erasing, zoom up your work
area and try to keep the crosshairs from overlapping on the edge of your foreground.
It’s likely that you will need to reduce the size of the brush in some places
to ensure that you don’t accidentally erase part of your foreground subject.
Final Word
If you are working with a basic
image with ample visual contrast between the subject and background, you can
most likely get away with using only the Background Eraser Tool.
More complex images will likely
require a mix of tools, samplings, and tolerances along with occasional manual
touch-ups. There will be times when there is no visual difference between the
foreground and background. We have to manually impose that distinction.
And don’t forget that if you are
saving your image without adding a new background, you need to save it as a PNG
to maintain the transparency.
