How Do I Remove a Background in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 11:58 pm

Assuming you would like to remove the background of an image in Adobe Photoshop, there are a few ways to go about it. One option is to use the “Quick Selection Tool.”

With this tool, you can click and drag your mouse across the areas of the image you want to keep and Photoshop will automatically select them. Then, you can click the “Inverse” button at the top of the screen and delete the background.

PRO TIP: When removing a background in Photoshop, it is important to use the eraser tool with a low opacity setting. Otherwise, you risk removing part of the image along with the background.

Another option is to use the “Pen Tool.” With this tool, you can click around the outline of the image you want to keep and Photoshop will create a mask. You can then invert this mask and delete the background.

Finally, if you’re dealing with a complex image, you may need to use a combination of these methods. For example, you may use the Quick Selection Tool to select most of the image, then use the Pen Tool to fine-tune the selection.
