Background Removal For Images

[Alex Ross]

Hi,

I am designing a catalog however the photos have a background, for
example the pictures are of shoes but i can see the table the shoe is
sitting on and the background behind the shoe, is there a way to cut
the shoes out in Photoshop so the background is removed?

Thanks

yes you can use the pen tool and create a clipping path around the shoes. You can also create a selection around the shoes and then turn the selection into a clipping path but the pen tool probably will give you more control.

Here is one site of many that has suggestions.

Just Google "photoshop removing backgrounds" and you will have a nice selection to choose from.
