Editing Photo

Selecting an image from a given photo needs some methods and skills. I have discovered a simple and easy way to select an image from a photo by using layers.

Step 1 open a jpeg image then duplicating a layer, control click this duplicated layer.
Step 2 Click on (Image)(Adjustments)(Level) set the input to 30.
Step 3 Click on ,(image)(Adjustments)(Brightness/Contrast), set the contrast to +20.
Step 4 Use Polygonal Lasso Tool to trace the outline of the image.
Step 5 Click on the background layer and choose (Select)(Inverse) to inverse the selection.
Step 6 press the delete key to delete the unwanted parts.
Step 7 Open a new photo which I want to put the selected image on to it.
Step 9 Press control-A keys to select the photo and press control-shift keys to create a new white background layer. Click the white background layer and create a new transparent layer above the background layer.
Step 10 Move the selected image to the newly open photo, use free transform to scale down the size of the image.
Step 11 Use layer mask to do some adjustments of the image then flatten the layers. The new photo is created.
