I don’t know if here’s the right place to ask this but here it goes.
I was wondering if there’s any way to edit an jpeg image so that the borders will be taken away and only the figure itself without the borders would be visible.
Because I want to make a banner in Adobe and I have to import another JPEG but I want to import the image but without the white square around. The image is a guy standig alone.
SO basically I want the image of the guy alone without the square or border around it.
THNX:)
Assuming the border is actually part of the pic…
You need to crop out the figure. You can do this using the lasso tool, pen tool, or quick masking in Photoshop.
I’m not sure how familiar you are with photoshop so I’ll give you 2 methods of doing this:
- You can use the magnetic laso tool and just trace a selection around the guy and copy and paste him to a new file. This method is pretty sloppy if you’re not use to the magnetic laso tool.
2)I’m sure theres other ways to do it, but what I would do is use photoshop’s pen tool, draw a outline around the guy then click on the path tab, double click on the first layer that appears and give it a name. Next click on that lil triangle next to the path tab, scroll down and select clipping path and finally click on the lil dotted circle at the bottom of that pallette to change the clipping path into a selection. Now you just copy and paste the selection of the guy to a new file.
I hope that helps. =)
If you wish to isolate an figure (remove the background, not just the border) in a jpeg, this question has been answered previously at this post.
I just go old school and use eraser and brushes. Thas all. I erased a whole bar sceen from the background in my footer to leave just me. Zoom in tight nad make another normal sized view. Then just erase away. It takes a stedy habd and a lot of practice. It use to take me an hour no it takes me min to hand erase an image selection.
