Cutting out things from their background is probably one of the most needed techniques when you make photomanipulations in Photoshop.
Especially when you create a surreal photomanipulation, you’re likely to work with A LOT OF stock images where you need to cut out A BUNCH!
And depending on the thing you want to cut out, cutting out stuff can be a tedious, time-consuming activity.
The most common Photoshop tool used to cut out things is probably the Quick Selection Tool. However, this only works fine if there’s enough contrast between the thing you want to cut and its background!

It’s an Easy 3-Step Process that you can apply to many stock photos!
