Background Masking Techniques

Here’s the image I’ll be working with (the actual document is 223×521 pixels)

Step-1 Select Magic Eraser tool- First, i’ll change a few of the tool settings- increasing the Tolerance(the Magic Eraser tool will erase “similar” colors as well (whites/grays). By checking the “Contiguous” box,) Tolerance of 10.

Step-2 click background color- and delete background

Step-3 now zoom in and erase the other background color .

Step-4 select normal Eraser tool set it to Brush mode  and blur the extra pixel dots.
