Photoshop : Cutout


          Before                                                                               After 



For this task we had to find an image on google and cut out the background so the person in the foreground of the photo is isolated. To do this I used the polygonal lasso tool, this allows you to crop around the image but click at certain places to realign the cut.

The other two tools that were available to use were the lasso tool and the magnetic lasso tool. I did not use these tools because they would not have given me control over what areas I would want to cut out not giving me an accurate and professional look. The lasso tool allows you to select a big area so it get cut away from the background. The magnetic lasso tool automatically sticks to the area that you want to cut out but is not accurate enough to get into small details and crevices in the photo like gaps in the hair etc.
