How to Remove a Background from an Image
1) Okay so first of all your going to make a new composition or just drag your image into Photoshop.
2) Next right click on the layer you want to remove the background and click Rasterize Layer
3) Now go across to your Tools Panel and click on the Pentool
4) Next hit "CTRL +" or the zoom tool to zoom really close. Using the Pentool click around the part of the image that you want to keep then join the points up by clicking the first point you did
5) Once you have finished going around your image right click inbetween the pentool path and click "Make Selection"
6) A new box should pop up giving you different options. This is optional. If you want to use the exact points you made with the pentoll leave them at default and click "Ok". However if you want to make the points less pointed you can change the feather radius (I personally wouldn't reccomend it)
7) Go back to your tool panel and click the Rectangular Marquee Tool (Selection Box)
8) Now go into the middle of your selection which you made with the Pentool and right click and hit "Select Inverse"
9) This will select everything outside of the area you had already selected (Basically, selecting the background). Now just hit Delete on your keyboard
10) You are now good to go. However with some pictures like the one I chose there will be parts inbetween that need deleting aswell. So to delete them repeat the steps with the pentool, then when it comes to it skip the "Select Inverse" part and just hit delete
I hope this has Helped you in anyway! If you have any problems feel free to PM me!
