Photoshop: QUICKMASK

mime 2004-12-22 00:00 tutorial  > Photoshop  > compositing

EXTRACTING PART OF IMAGE USING "QUICKMASK"

This one will show how to easy extract some part of image. We'll try to leave only the car and swap whole background.

First we need to make layer from backround. Simply choose "layer/new/layer from background.." from the menu and click OK with default options.


 
Now have to switch to quick mask mode by clicking icon on the left (hotkey: "q")

 
Now when we're editing image in quickmask mode we need to paint with all useful tools (brushes, fills) on part we wanna save (a whole car in my case). Painted areas are turning red, notice you can use eraser tool also

 
Whith bigger and smaller brushes I finished covering whole object.


Now we have to quit quick mask mode by clicking on appropriate icon (or pressing "q" key again) -our quick mask will turn into selection.

 
Notice we have selected all except masked area so there's nothing left to do then press "delete" key to get rid off unwanted part. And here's what we get -separated car.

 
And that's it. Now you can create layer below current and design a new composition. Something like this for example..



Best Regards,
Damian 'Mime' Bajowski

3D character models: when to use ready-made assets instead of custom designs

Working in CG and archviz often means balancing creative intent with production realities. Human presence can support scale, context, and clarity, but it also adds another layer of decisions. Ready-made 3D character assets help keep visual focus where it belongs without expanding the project scope beyond its real needs
