Extracting objects
Extracting is another method for selecting and drawing out a subject from your
image or object for further compositing. Use Extract Object to extract an object
from a selection. You can extract the object in 4 steps: Draw boundary, Extract
object, Adjust degree of extraction, then Refine object.
Step 1 of 4: Drawing the boundary
Trace the edge of the subject you want to extract.
To draw the boundary:
1. Select Object: Extract Object.
2. In the Extract Object dialog box,
set the Color and Size of the
brush.
3. Drag to trace the edges of the
subject that you want to extract.
Make sure that the subject you
want to extract is enclosed by the
brush strokes.
Tip: If you want to remove parts of
the selection, click Eraser then
drag on the edges that you want
to remove.
4. Click Next.
Tip: Use the buttons at the lower-left
hand side of the dialog box to
change the zoom ratio of the
image.
