Okay to start off with I imported the Abbey Road image onto Photoshop, feel free to just go along this cause using the same image, or alternatively, use your own image, but bear in mind, but then, but bear in mind, the ideal image would be something which like this one has a foreground and the background. Okay, so firstly, we're going to be extracting Paul McCartney into his own layer. To do that, I like to use the pen to here on the left, going to be zooming in a little and I'm going to be clicking the first point and then the second point of where I want this to be cuts out and I'm going to be dragging it in and out like this to adjust the same point and then do the same thing for the next couple. PowerPoints just like this. Don't worry if it's a little bit of because you can adjust it afterwards.

So I'm going to be fast forwarding the rest of this video, or at least the rest of this part so that it won't take too much time. Okay, so now I'm done outlining where I want to cut, I'm going to be adjusting where I've made little mistakes. So I'm just gonna go over here to get my direct selection too. And I'm going to be clicking on the individual points where Want to change it and you do that by just simply dragging it out on when you want it to be. Or alternatively, if that doesn't work in certain areas, you can drag these little arm bars at the side here to adjust the actual curvature of where you want to change like this. Okay, everything looks good.

Let's go into the next step. Now go over to the paths tap here, and select what you just created. And if you can't see the paths tab, simply go on windows here, and just make sure the Path Selection is so wild Selecting the work path here, I'm just going to rename it by double clicking it. And I'm going to be renaming, renaming it, Paul, it's always a good idea to name all your stuff in Photoshop for clarity purposes. And now I'm going to be dragging this path here to this doctor's Circle line here. And that's the selection tool.

So now come back to layers here. I'm going to make sure I right click the background layer and click layer from background which unlocks this layer. And before drag before extracting this selection, I'm actually going to feather it a little bit. So to do that, click Select, Modify, and feather and I'm going to be doing it by one pixel. Maybe you maybe if you All photo is less retro homemade. You can use like less pixels such as naught point five or something.

So I'm just going to click OK here. And what that does is that it smoothes it a little bit. And now, I'm going to go back to my selection tool, and I'm going to copy and paste. And now as you can see, we have our own Paul McCartney layers separated from the main background. And again, I'm going to be naming this as Paul
