Photoshop Cutout Tutorial

For my final project, I’m using photoshop to remix an image into a different meaning. Since I’m not totally familiar with photoshop, I thought I would do my tutorial on a basic skill that I’ll be using which is cutouts.

  1. Open up Photoshop and open with the image that you want to cut out.Screen Shot 2016-04-17 at 7.14.15 PM
  2. Next, you want to go to Layer, the New, and then press Background From Layer.Screen Shot 2016-04-17 at 7.14.27 PM
  3. Next, you want to take the Quick Selection Tool and select the inside of the image that you want cut out.Screen Shot 2016-04-17 at 7.15.15 PM
  4. Then, you want to go to Layer, then New, and then press Layer via Cut.Screen Shot 2016-04-17 at 7.15.50 PM
  5. Finally, go to the bottom right corner and drag the image that says Layer 0 to the garbage can. This leaves you with the image you want cut out.Screen Shot 2016-04-17 at 7.16.01 PM

Then depending how sharp you want your edges to be, that can be altered as needed!
