Since we have the photo on Photoshop now, we can start the process of background removal. There are some techniques for selecting the main object to transform it there. The best way is creating a clipping path. So, create a path named path-1 to start clipping path.

Step 3:

There are some tools in Adobe Photoshop which helps you to make the selection of clipping path. From all the tools, the pen tool is the best for clipping path work. The pen tool helps you to make the clipping path precisely and cut out the object perfectly. So we are selecting a pen tool to work. You can go to the toolbar and click on the “pen” icon to activate the pen tool. You can also activate the pen tool just by pressing ‘p’ on the keyboard.

Step 4:

After selecting the pen tool, you are ready to draw the clipping path. We have drawn the clipping mask around the entire object very carefully. Remember, do not go beyond and under the line, make it perfect. Draw both the outline and the loop with pen tool so that you do not leave any of the areas of your subject for cutting out.

Step 5:

When you are done with drawing the clipping mask around the object, select the masked area to cut the object out from the background. To select the mask areas, click on ‘path 1′ and press ‘ctrl+enter’. Doing that, entire masked areas will be selected. Now, the object is ready to be transformed into another photo background.

Step 6:

After making the selection of the object (clipping path) copy the masked areas. To do that, click on edit>copy or you can just press ‘ctrl+c’ for copying masked areas.

Step 7:

Now open another background photo as per your requirement to transfer the cut out object photo to your desire background photo. Here, we have chosen a beach photo as a background. Open the photo the same way we did on the first photo.

Step 8:

When you have opened the new background photo in Photoshop, we need to bring the cutout photo on this photo. There are 2 ways of bringing the cutout photo. Since we have copied the selected part of our main object, we need to paste that on this new background photo. You can click on ‘Edit>paste’ or press ‘ctrl+v’ to bring the cut out the photo here. The cut out object has appeared when we clicked on paste.

Step 9:

The position of the object is not looking good this way. We need to change the position of the object. To do that, we have to select the move tool from the tool bar. Move tool helps to move the cut out object as per your requirement.

Step 10:

After selecting the move tool, we have moved the object a bit down to match with the photo and make it look perfect. After positioning the object, click enter to complete the work.
