Toggle the tool’s subtraction mode by holding down the ‘Alt’ or ‘Option’ key, then click and drag your mouse around the background area you want to delete. When you’re ready to add to your selection again, release the ‘Alt’ or ‘Option’ key. Right-click within the marching ants and choose ‘Refine Edge’ from the pop-up menu once the selection is complete.

Use the lasso tools and eraser to smooth your work. To remove any additional background areas, click around the outer perimeter of the object. Finally, in the Layers panel, you’ll need to choose the background layer. You’ll only see the selection you made at the beginning after you remove this layer. If you want to maintain your image’s transparency, save it as a PNG file.

To improve your composition, you’ll need to crop the image. Make sure the exposure is correct. If necessary, make color adjustments. It’s time to make some selected edits now that you’ve fixed the color of your image. Remove any blemishes. Filters for sharpening and blurring can be used.

To make a selection, you can use the Select Subject tool. Select the Quick Selection tool from your toolbar, then set the selection mode to “Subtract From Selection.” Paint around the areas you want to eliminate with your picture layer selected. Simply hit the layer mask icon while your image layer is selected to add the active selection to a layer mask. After you’ve finished with the mask, go to the Adjustment Layer button and select Solid Color. That color will be applied to your object. Click on the icon for the mask that was made to make it the background. Then, under the Properties panel, select Invert. Double-click the mask layer to refine it.

Photoshop placed the first pin for you automatically. Drag and drop that pin into the background, or the area farthest away from the focal point, until you get the blur you want. Place more blur pins on the subject, one at a time, until the entire subject is sharp. Continue to smooth the blur. If required, adjust the blur effects.

Select the Crop Tool from the toolbar. To set the crop limits in your photo, draw a new cropping area or drag the corner and edge handles. To crop the photo, press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).

Select an option from the “Image Rotation” submenu by clicking the “Image” menu. Now is the time to save your work.

It may be done by right-clicking one of the chosen layers and selecting “Merge Layers.”

From the tools panel, pick the Quick Selection brush and click-drag over the area you wish to select. Because the brush works intuitively, you don’t need to be overly precise.

Select Undo from the Edit menu, or press Ctrl + Z.

If you want to completely clear a scratch drive of past data, you’ll have to manually locate and remove the files. Once there, look for the file Photoshop Temp, followed by a series of numbers.

Select the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer from the adjustments drop-down menu. It will change your selection into a layer mask automatically. Click the choices bar labeled Master in the Properties panel of your Hue/Saturation layer and pick Yellows, since that’s all you’ll need to whiten your teeth. Move the saturation slider to the left to reduce the yellows in your selection. If you see a rough edge to your selection, select Masks in the Properties tab to correct it. Increase the feather slider in the Masks panel to give your pick a softer edge.

Duplicate the layer in Photoshop after opening the image. Make a hair mask and then edit it. Under Image then Adjustments, select Hue/Saturation. Click the “colorize” button at the bottom of the pop-up and move the sliders around until you have the hair color you want. Make the mask more natural by editing it.

Click where you want the line to begin with the brush, then hold down the shift key and click where you want the line to stop. Between your start and finish points, it will create a straight line.
