Sometimes for design purposes it is required to separate a fragment of an image from a variegated background and place it on a uniform one. This operation is performed in a graphical editor. You can make pictures on a white background in different ways. It all depends on which tools are most convenient for you to use.
Instructions
Step 1
To process the image, choose a graphics editor that supports working with layers, for example, Adobe Photoshop. Launch it and open the photo you want. Copy the picture to a new layer. To do this, select the image, right-click on the canvas and select the "Copy to New Layer" command from the menu. Next, choose the course of action that you find easier for yourself.
Step 2
Make active the Eraser tool and erase all unnecessary details with it on a new layer, leaving only the fragment that should be placed on the white background untouched. Switch to the original image or create an additional layer below the "cleaned" element. Choose white from the palette, click the Fill command from the Edit menu, or press Shift and F5. Confirm your actions in the request window. Merge the layers and save the image.
Step 3
You can also use other tools. Make sure you are on a new layer with the duplicated image. From the selection tools, choose Magic Wand or Magnetic Lasso. Outline the contour of the object that should remain on the layer with it. Invert the selection and press the Delete key. The unnecessary fragment will be deleted. Fill the bottom layer with white.
Step 4
There is another way for these purposes. It will work if the background you want to get rid of is more or less uniform. From the Selection menu, choose the Color Range command. A new dialog box will open. Specify the color to be highlighted in it, adjust the recognition depth. Click OK. Delete the selection with the Delete key, create a layer with a white background.
Step 5
In cases where the background is too colorful, you can create a black and white mask by adjusting the contrast and work with it like a stencil. Or you can use one of the many plugins designed to separate objects from the background. You can install them from the disk or by downloading the installation file from the Internet.
