Hi all :)
So let's say I want to use a picture of a coca-cola bottle from an image I found on the internet, or I take a pic of one... what is the best way to cut-it-out?
1) For instance, sometimes, the object is cut out of a white background and I want to use it on a black background... leaves a nasty outline :( - maybe its easier to take a pic of the object on a black background (which is what I usually do - but I don't feel like getting the camera out - besides, I then almost always need to touch up the photo)
and
2) how do I easily smooth the edges if a use the colour wand? before or after cutting out (Copy to clipboard)?
K - thanks :)
ps (i'm adding tags... but don't really know if I'm doing it right - pls comment) Thanks again ;)
Hi Don,
are you working directly on the Background, or on a duplicate of the Background as a separate layer? There several advantages to working on a layer (Object) with a clip mask and not directly on the Background:
There would be other advantages, but at this late hour my brain is not thinking straight. Here is a video which shows an image with several layers and clip masks. Take a look right at the end of the video how easy it is to add a new layer and copy a clip mask from another layer to it (by Alt+Dragging the clip mask to it). Talk about easy mask duplication!
