@jkw906koz What I do is i duplicate the image first, and do the whole remove background thing on the duplicated image. Then I hide the original layer, and the duplicated layer's background should be transparent.

Thanks a bunch! This really helped me tonight as I was learning how to mask my daughter ANNIKA's photo while watching this video. Surprise! (And we pronounce our Annika the same way.) Cute baby!

@jkw906koz Theres this AMAZING things called copy and paste :OOOOO

Good example. But that would be more like tempering than removing the background.

I give up.

It just jumps to the border and selects the whole picture. Won't select the image. Photoshop is full of tricks, if you miss some hidden stuff it doesn't work. It is the worst program I've ever used. Just wastes my time.
