Often, this method won’t select individual strands of hair, so you can refine the selection of hair by clicking the Refine Hair button at the top of the select and mask window. I recommend going with an all black and white image, as this will allow you to easily see what areas can be refined. In the Properties panel that appears once you’ve clicked the button, you can switch the view you see by clicking the View icon and choosing the one you’d like. Once you press the button, the background of the image will become transparent. Now, click the Select and Mask button at the top. When you release the selection it will snap to the edges of your subject inside that selection, creating an active selection around your subject. Make sure the selection is as close to the edges of your subject as possible. Now, you can draw a rectangle marquee around your image. In the Options bar, set the Mode to Rectangle and make sure Object Subtract is checked.
Click and hold the S election tool if you don’t see it and you can select it from the options. You can find the Object Selection tool icon in the toolbar on the left. The Object Selection tool is best for selecting foreground subjects that aren’t overly complex, though Photoshop can detect hair or fur using a special button we’ll get into in a moment. Now you can paint over the mask areas that you’d like to include or remove from the selection, and when you’re satisfied hold Alt or Option and click the Layer Mask again. Below, I’ll set my foreground color to white to reveal more details near the edge of the cutout. Then set the foreground color to white if you’d like to make a transparent part of the image visible, or black if you’d like to add more transparent areas to the image. In the Options bar, make sure the Blend Mode is set to Normal. Select the Brush tool from the toolbar ( B).
We can refine the mask using the brush tool. While the process is generally very accurate, you can touch up the mask to correct any possible issues quickly. With fine details such as the hair, these gray areas aren’t a problem, but they would be an issue if they were found in the middle of your subject. For example, 50% gray would be 50% visible. If you see any gray areas, such as parts of the hair in the above image, that means they are not fully visible or fully transparent but rather something in between. This allows you to see the exact selection Photoshop made, as everything transparent will be pure black while everything visible will be pure white. If you’d like to double-check that the image was cut out accurately, you can view the area in black and white by holding Option (Mac) or Alt (Win) and clicking the Layer Mask in the Layers panel. Simply click the Remove Background button, wait for Photoshop to make the selection, and the background will become transparent.īelow, you can see an image before and after using the Remove Background button. In the Properties panel, you’ll see the Quick Actions area at the bottom. If you don’t see this panel, head to Window > Properties to show the panel.
To use the Remove Background button, first head to the Layers panel to unlock your image layer by clicking the lock symbol on the right. This button is best for images in which the subject is fairly distinct from the background - the accuracy may surprise you and will save you tons of time. It simplifies the process of selecting and removing the background by making a selection, adding it onto a layer mask, and cutting out the image, all at once. Starting with the most simple tool, the Remove Background button does just that - it removes the background of your image with one click.
The first six examples are the easiest methods to remove simple backgrounds.
