Cutting subjects out of their background….it sounds like one of those small things that everybody knows how to do, with some ‘one click’ app….and it sounds boring anyway! Right?
Well, background cutting is indeed one of those things that everyone expects you to know, but do you really?! And it might seem ‘small’, but it’s one of the most essential [if that’s proper English] skill in my branding work. Websites, banners, flyers, book covers, you name it….they all use photos…..and I see a lot of crappy work out there because of poor cropping.
In this class you will:
start mastering the pen tool
learn to make use of layer & vector masks in Photoshop
ultimately, learn how to cut different subjects from their background [in a clean, professional way], from the simple ones to the more complex ones, like people with little to no contrast from their background
