[DolphinWantsPeace]

Dude, just a quick question: Couldn't you use the magic eraser from the start? It worked perfectly for me.

[zeeneo]

Didn't you just destroy the original image?

[charlesalacroix]

Good job. I would be a little more prepared next time, but you did a pretty good job. I looked for a 'simple' way of removing the background and you explained it very well. Thanks!

[villakidda]

[Trygve12345678987654]

THANKS! you're awesome :P

[bijm007]

OH THANK YOU!! Haha finally. Helped me a lot.

[axe3]

save it as GIF or PNG file, JPG does not support transparent background

[beodanes]

@axe3 thanks! So that's why when I save it to jpg background turns white again!

I just saw your comment!

[matt12red]

is there a way u can save just the image without having a white background when u save as like a jpg. because i'm trying to get just the image onto a website. but keeps poping up with a white background with the image on it enstead of just the image.

[BlockTerroristTV]

thanx,this helped alot..now when i design graphics it will be easier to create my graphix without having to have a PSD

[dahmn8r1]

thanks.

[FaceSTAB411]

Thankyou :)

[obscenesAINT]

Or you could use the pen/path tool and avoid any messy edges to begin with. That and this doesn't work so well with lighter colours near white.

Pen/Path tool, use it, love it.

[morganinowoodsy1]

thankyou sooo much! helped soo much!

[andyjames23536746]

Just a question, does the mask mode work on adobe photoshop 8, an on mac?

[butterflywebqueen]

That helped me alot. thank you. Straight to the point just like I like it!

[ConsciousCrossings]

Thanks :) I lost you, though, when you said "delete", I'm working on a Mac - click delete where/how?

[butterflywebqueen]

Respond to this video... go to edit and cut. I was lost for a second too. But i figured it out.

[Fouryears1]

THIS WAS SOO HELPFUL! you did such a wonderful job, i finally learned how to do this because of you! keep up the great work!

[amiransari]

How can I make background white? Thank you.

[xRantsReviewsx]

@amiransari not gonna look the best but zoom in 800 percent on paint and use the earaser to get background white im sure theres another way but... for now im set with the paint

[KBcakes]

What about deleting the white background so when I copy and paste into InDesign the white doesn't show up?...cuz I delete the background in Photoshop then it re-appears in InDesign

[xxbotchxx]

thanks for the very informative yet simple how-to

[hordenbadboy]

works great for me best way I have seen so far

[wolfensteinserb]

where do you get those backgrounds ???

[djdandz]

don't work for me, but thanks

[virtuboy1]

im just starting and for the most part i understand the moving but im having an issue with using the tool selections they do not ingage when i choose them cs4 how do i do that...

[Oggypike]

Cheers (:

[jayhawk184]

wow fasinating learning about history, and the hidden objects most people missed lol

[TheHellAtlus]

This isn't working

[TheHellAtlus]

You said "Start by pressing ...?"

[ChaosDominator]

"q" man... ;)

[eromond]

@TheHellAtlus Q

[ZookanProductions]

maybe you should learn the ins and outs of Photoshop before teaching. This image's background could have been erased so quickly with channels.

[tomandz4]

The layer mask didn't even do anything at all relevant to deleting, also using the eraser is a sloppy way of removing backgrounds, really you should be using the pen tool or maybe the lasso tool if its a simple image

[zsutty]

funny fucker, HOP OFF

[oR3MiiX]

how do u insert that picture into another photoshop document u have been working on for example i am making a backround and have made it but all i need is a picture in it,how do i do it??????????//

[jfreetrpt]

thanks! works well

[falconianuk]

this don't make any sense! you seem to have gone around this simple tutorial the long way around, if there had been a background full of trees, or even similar color objects, it would have been much harder to achieve, and much better as a tutorial, just about everyone knows how to do something this simple.

[falconianuk]

now do the same with hair with a complicated background, the above image is easy to lift from a white back ground, this was just to easy.

[308beatZ]

Look At My "How To Remove BackGround Tutorial" It's Much Easier Than This Lol.... Ill Post A Video Response Or You Can Look For It On My Channel

[animeniac10gaara]

Could someone please help. i just got photoshop CS4 but every time I import an image it just has loads of bits cut out and it has loads of white lines on it.

[aska7a1]

10x man , you helped me alot

and 10x for the little fun education fact :P

[SKOLDvsKMFDM]

did everything like he said but control d does nothing

[highactive]

CTRL+D deselects the selection that you have at that moment

[zarnaik]

great fun fact :)

[Orgyilkos]

why dont u just use the magic wand tool and press delete?

[iSmexx]

because not all pictures are gonna have a solid background where you can just select it with the magic wand tool

[0Valkyr0]

yeah.....i dont get that either wats the point of even masking it?

[lordvaladak]

Hey Dude Where do you get your Wallpapers? they're awesome!

[fruitsnackman]

i think he makes them.

[XxUntouchablexX2]

i feel like an iddiot but ,, when i go on , i insert the picture , then click q , then nothing happens , it doesnt let me use any of the options at the side , theya re there . but they just dotn work . some please help me ..

[crytallite]

wow...funny comment by you and thanks for the tut..you make it look so easy.

[MeghaniisAWESOME]

Thanks!

Also LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO @ your background. I love it!

[CardMadMonster]

where do u get ur hilarious backgrounds

[christianzillo]

hahaha white and stupid that sound like a racist comment XD

[FL00Fee]

I need that desktop backround plz linkit

[LordMoonstone]

Why not use the magic wand on the background, invert selection, and Layer via Cut? That seems to work a lot faster than this method.

[latiaos11]

rofl easy and quick ;D 5/5

[IIMcCARTHYIIxxxvids]

put ur desktop pic link in description plz its so funny

[666drummerman]

dude, where do you get all your back grounds? XD

[dansei27]

i prefer using the pen tool

[matt56037]

Why not just use the magic eraser in the first place, or magic wand and delete?

[seanyfarrell]

Kevin can i have your background =[

[whyspyder]

Me too!

[Paandaman]

I have no idea they used that belt when they killed Lincoln :O

[berper1996]

it was a joke

[Paandaman]

Ye i know and i was sarcastic :)

[SenoreQueso]

That whole bit (in quick mask mode) in the beginning was completely useless. Ctrl+D deselects the selection, so pressing delete afterwords would do nothing. Plus, he just uses the magic eraser in the end anyways....

[nikiforos6]

hahahaha!!! GREAT wallpaper!!!

[NewbProductionz]

Backgroundddd

[derikschoy]

Once i've saved the picture as a JPEG, the white background is still there... any help ?

[wattshisname]

save it as a png image instead

[derikschoy]

Ahaa thank you guys :)

[Vgrocker101]

You have to save it as a PNG. JPEG won't work.

[harvythewondergerbil]

save it as PNG.
