    Removing background from images

    Hi,

    I am designing a catalog however the photos have a background, for
    example the pictures are of shoes but i can see the table the shoe is
    sitting on and the background behind the shoe, is there a way to cut
    the shoes out in Photoshop so the background is removed?

    Thanks

    You can use the Magic Wand or the Extract tool.

    If the background is complex, you may want to investigate the Extract tool.

    That's a Rectangular Marquee.

    It depends on what the background is. For complex backgrounds, the Extract command on the Filter menu is very good.

    In my older version of Photoshop best_links, I have no Magic Extract. I only have the Extract command. Unless you are referring to the Magic Lasso, perhaps be a little more specific.
