Home > News Archive > New Tutorial: Removing an Image's Background
I’ve just put up a new tutorial which is intended to be the first in a series of tutorials demonstrating different methods of deep etching. Deep etching is a print industry term that refers to the process of separating an image from its background.
In Photoshop there are multiple methods of doing this and sometimes you have to use two or more of these methods in conjunction with each other for the best result, but a lot of the time you can get a great result using the method in this tutorial, which involves creating a path around the main part of the image to be extracted, converting the path into a nice smooth selection, and using that to perform the extraction.
