Hi!
Well, we’re sure there’s a better way. we’re trying to remove the background from this image http://www.stuffmongers.com/ring1.jpg to leave the background white. We’ve tried lasoo, airbrushing but these seem difficult, tedious and they don’t leave a very good result.

Is there a better way? How would you do it? We have Photoshop 6.0.1. As you can tell, we’re pretty new to this……

Pen tool.

How would you do it?

Pen tool, make selection. Hack out (cntrl-x) of the background, paste into it’s own layer. Turn off the background layer, Save for Web as Gif. This leaves you with a nice transparent image.

If you are working on a high-rez version, copy the selection into a new document instead before downsizing and keep the high-rez version handy for printing.
