Click an area in the background and the
Magic Wand will make a selection around
the image. If the “marching ants” selection
goes into the main design, change the
Tolerance on the Property Bar . The default is
32.
Depending upon the variations and
gradients in the background, it may
require some trial and error with Tolerance
settings and several selections before the
background is completely removed.
If the first click of the Magic Wand does not get all the unwanted
areas, you can add to the selection by holding down the [Shift]
key and clicking another area. You can subtract from the selection
by holding down the [Alt] key and clicking on a area.
Photoshop and FastARTIST both have Magic Wand tools (it looks
like a wand with a sparkler on the end.)
Using the Extract Filter
Photoshop also has a Filter called
Extract . This will allow you to draw
around an image and fill the center with
color. Photoshop then removes all the
areas around the image, leaving you
with a transparent background. Extract
does a decent job, but the Magic Wand
is the preferred method.
Keep in mind, the Magic Wand and Extract filters perform best
when the background is a solid color and not a gradient.
Making Your Selection a New Layer
The goal behind all this is to get your main image on a layer with a transparent
background. (This will show as gray and white checks all around the image).
With a transparent background, you can add additional elements to the image
including text, drop shadows, glows and more.
