Photoshop offers several different methods to
cut out a selection of a
photo or other image. In this tutorial, I'm going
to use The Magic Wand Tool & Eraser Tool: ;p


I'm going to use the following pics: ;p

- new selection
- tolerance: 32 pixels
- select 'Anti- aliased' for softening the edges of the selection we
make
- select 'Contiguous' so bordering areas using the same colors also
get selected. Otherwise, all pixels using the same colors will be
selected.
(For Tolerance: Enter a low value to select only the colors very
similar to the pixel you click, or enter a higher value to select a
broader range of colors)

Press delete to delete the white and then press Ctrl-D to delete the
selection.




open new layer and fill it with black color>>>then drag it behind the
first your object (layer)...so we can see where we need to remove
;) you can skip this step..

Select the Eraser Tool set mode to Brush and set the size to 82.Set
Opacity to 100% and Flow also to 100%.

Now we need to add in our new background.
Simply find an image.

Now copy and paste your background image into the Photoshop
document and make sure that the background layer is behind
(below) the layer with your object.
