Dbannon 3 Posted February 8, 2011 I have a potential customer wanting this car in a graphic. I was wondering if someone would be willing to remove the background for me and leave just the car. Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jay2703 704 Posted February 11, 2011 Most software has a lasso tool where you can trace the outside of an object til it closes then cut and paste into a new drawing. http://screencast.com/t/ndXwLsIXH Jay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you use the polygon lasso instead of the magnetic one you an click individual points to follow the path. It takes longer but you have more control over where it traces the outline.
