Photoshop is very powerful, covering images, graphics, text, video, publishing and other fields, and has been at the leading level in digital image processing. Regarding PS, the biggest role is to cut the picture! Friends who are simply familiar with PS should also know that there are actually many ways of matting in PS! And what are the specific ones? Some novice friends may not know! Let's reveal the five methods of PS matting for everyone and see how much you know ~ How much do you know about these five PS matting methods? Method 1: Magic wand tool matting 1, which is suitable for situations where the background color is clean, the shape of the matting object is not complicated, and the color or light and dark difference is obvious. You can use the magic wand tool, quick selection tool or lasso tool for quick matting. Its advantages are quick response; The disadvantage is that it is not suitable for matting of complex background objects. First, we import photos, and then press CTRL+J to copy photos and matting. 2. After the photo is copied, select the magic wand tool (magic wand tool shortcut key: w), click the background to select it, then press CTRL+SHIFT+I to reverse the selection, and finally press CTRL+J to pick out the characters and change the background color. Method 2: color range matting If the background color of the screen is uniform, we can also use "color range", which is under the "Select" menu in the menu bar. After entering the color range, we first adjust the color tolerance, and then click the background color with the eyedropper tool to quickly scrub the graphic selection. First, we also copy a photo and then operate it. Once the selection is loaded, reverse it by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+I, and then press CTRL+J to pick out the characters and switch the background color. Method 3: Select and overwrite the matting. After PSCC version 20 15, the "Select and Overlay" button was changed to the "Select and Overlay" function, which not only can quickly remove the background, but also can modify the variant, smooth the edges and remove the background more easily. First, we use the lasso tool to select the general shape of the graphic, and then click Select and Overlay. Once you select and hide, let's adjust the edge brush tool (in the border area, you can accurately adjust the edge adjustment of the selected object) and work on the background that the lasso tool has not cleaned up. With the Adjust Edge Brush tool, we can press Enter to select all the characters. Finally, we can press CTRL+J to delete characters and replace the background. Method 4: background eraser matting First, we copy the photo, then select the background eraser tool, and then select a sample to the menu bar above (a sample: use a single mouse to sample the color, and then drag the mouse to erase it, which has the advantage that even if the subject is still not erased, it will not destroy the subject). Then set the limit to discontinuity. Because of the contrast between characters and background, the tolerance is set to 50%. Check and protect the foreground scene, then press and hold the ALT key to absorb the color of the character, so that the character will not be erased by mistake, and then the periphery of the character can be erased. This method may not be very clean and needs to be adjusted in the future. Method 5: Channel matting is the only choice for dealing with hair, trees, flowers, transparent and translucent materials. It is simple, convenient and easy to use. After copying the photo, go to the channel panel first, observe the red, green and blue channels, select the channel with the strongest contrast between black and white, and copy the channel. After selecting the copied channel, select Image >; Adjust > Levels or press the shortcut key Ctrl+L to adjust the levels panel, and add the black-and-white contrast of the channel to make the photo contrast more prominent. After adjusting the color scale, the black and white contrast of complex hair parts in the photo is obvious. Next, we press CTRL and click the channel thumbnail to load the selection, then press CTRL+SHIFT+I to invert the selection, and then click the RGB channel to return to the normal layer interface. So after processing the channel, we will find that the characters in the photo have not been completely selected, but the more complicated parts have been processed, and the rest are the parts with clear outlines. We can use the quick selection tool and the pen tool for quick selection). Once the whole character is finished, we can press CTRL+J to delete it and replace the background.
