Question

I need help with photoshop. I tried cutting a specific part from an image but, I don't completely know how to do it and I can't watch a youtube video on it because, it's blocked, And the cut out part I tried putting in Indesign for an assignment. does anyone know how to do this?

Answer 1

Make sure you’re on the right layer, lasso around what you want, copy paste into indesign?

Answer 2

I select the part I need to use but, I'm not sure what the next step is to get only that part that I selected over to Indesign, I tried once and the whole picture ended up in Indesign when I tried adding it

Answer 3

hm
well you could try copy-pasting what you need into a new photoshop document, export, and insert that into InDesign

Answer 4

idk it's been a while since I've worked w/ this

Answer 5

I'll try that next time I'm in class, thank you. I tried reading this: https://photoshopcafe.com/cut-anything-photoshop-3-best-ways-remove-backgrounds-photos/

But, it kind of confused me because, I didn't know what some of these were for or where they are yet, I'm new to working with this, It said inverse but, I'm not sure where the inverse icon is when I was about to try using this article to help

Answer 6

control shift I

Answer 7

if that doesn't work try select --> invert selection or something like that

Answer 8

Alright. Thank you, I'll try this next time I have class

Answer 9

Are you forgetting to deselect a previous selection and thus it won't let you? When I was learning I got confused for nearly an hour (!) when trying to lasso things around bc I forgot to deselect my previous selection, haha

Answer 10

I dis selected the rest and only had a portion selected but, didn't know then next step

Answer 11

Wait, so did you comoplete your selection or is it not letting you fully complete it? Lasso can be confusing, it was in fact the most annoying part when I learned

Answer 12

complete*

Answer 13

If it isn't letting you delete a selection, check your layers. Are you on the right layer? Also, is your layer rasterized or a smart object?

Answer 14

It sometimes selects a part I don't need selected

Answer 15

Ah i see, so if you want to undo that *while selecting* (and not when you've fully completed your selection), just hit the backspace and it will go to the previous point

Answer 16

Thank you

Answer 17
