In our first two tutorials on removing backgrounds using photoshop westarted with the eraser tool, and moved onto the extraction filter - Removing a Background for Beginners and Extraction Filter in Photoshop. This tutorial is the last in the series on removing backgrounds and is a little more advanced than the previous ones. If you are a beginning photo editor, you may want to start with one of the earlier ones, but if you are a "quick study" then you shouldn't have much of a problem using this tutorial.

This tutorial employs the use of the Photoshop Pen tool. Once you grasp an understanding of the pen tool, the rest is easy. Some of you may catch on right away, but there will probably be some who are like me. The pen tool was a gigantic mystery when I first began trying to use it, and no amount of written instruction could help me wrap my mind around this tool and how it worked. It took me a long time to understand the pen tool, but when Paul Reitz showed me with pictures how the pen tool was supposed to work, my mind finally clicked and I was off and running. This is the method I used most often now, when I want to remove one object or even multiple objects from an image.

Paul is one of the reasons most of my tutorials contain images or snapshots along with the written instructions. When I began tutoring, I found that like me, many people are visual learners. The pen tutorial I created from my own workflow and it contains as many step-by-step pictures as it does written instructions, making it one of the easier pen tutorials for beginning users to follow.

Once you "get this" technique, you'll be able to remove almost anything from another photo and isolate it for use in any other photo or image, and while this tutorial is longer than most of my others, those of you who are looking for ways to isolate objects cleanly will find this tutorial worth trying.

As with some of my other tutorials, this is in a downloadable .pdf file - and though some of my later tutorials are locked with a password, this one is not.
