If you love taking pictures, you might notice that some pictures don’t look very good because of their backgrounds. It might be a loss if you are an eCommerce owner as you have already invested in product photography.
But do you know you can remove the background and get a brand-new version? With Photoshop, you can get rid of the unnecessary or photobombing background and cherish it like a fresh new memory.
Here in the following discussion, you will learn about a few of the methods of how you can remove your background from your eCommerce product images.
Method 1: Use Photoshop Remove Background Tool
This background-removing tool in photoshop is the easiest method for editing your picture and removing the background. It will be the best method for you if you are not very concerned about your picture edges and their shares.
How to use it?
- Open your image in Photoshop and select the Layers panel on the right corner of the menu. You can duplicate the current layer by clicking on Command + J on a Mac or CTRL + J on a Windows keyboard.
- Press Cmd+J or Ctrl+J; it will duplicate the layer in Photoshop.
- The background will completely disappear in Photoshop when you complete the last step. Navigate to the ‘Quick Actions’ menu.
- Click on the ‘Remove Background’ option on the right side of the screen.
- Now, zoom on the ‘Photoshop Remove Background Button’; you will find it under Quick Actions, and there you go.
Method 2: Use ‘remove.bg’s Photoshop plugin.
This one is considered the best among all the methods of removing an image background. This plugin performs better than the software in highlighting the main features and edges, like hair. Besides, you can use the layer mask to crop or restore portions of the image with just a click.
How to use it?
- First, download the plugin. You can download the “remove.bg” Photoshop for free. Also, you can purchase credits to work with photos, which you can use across all remove.bg integrations and products. You can use remove.bg from the Plugins’ drop-down menu as you install it.
- You will get it in ‚Plugins‘ -> ‚remove.bg, when you are working with Adobe Photoshop.
- After that, log in to the ‘remove.bg’ account. After that, click on the ‘Remove Background’ button to remove the background from your selected picture.
- Remember one thing; the removal.bg API will work on your picture and edit it. So, ensure you have good internet and an API key while working with it.
Method 3: Apply the Quick Selection tool
The Quick Selection Tool in Photoshop uses artificial intelligence so that it can find out the borders of your key object and work on the background removal from the picture.
When the object and the background are absolutely different from one another, the tool will work the best. If the pixels are too similar to one another, there will be the possibility of getting confused among them, and you may need to spend hours adding and removing components.
How to use it?
- At first, open the picture in Photoshop.
- Check the Quick Selection Tool on the left side of the menu option. If it is not there, you may find it in the ‘Magic Wand Tool’ option. Click on this option.
- Select “Enhance Edge” in the Options menu. It will make your selection edges smoother and provide it a better quality.
- You can select any area by clicking the mouse button and dragging the cursor there. It will keep selecting the matching colors in the selection until an edge comes into its way.
- Now, you can click and drag on the areas when you want to add more in the area or add your own selection.
- You can also take something out of the selected area if the tool was selected more than you expected. To do this, pick the portion you want to cancel and press the ‘Option’ key on macOS or the Alt key on the Windows key.
- You can also deselect by choosing the ‘Minus’ option in the menu bar so that you can cancel out unnecessary selections.
