Hi,
I’m trying to create a small photo collage of products that I want to ultimately end up in Illustrator WITHOUT white backgrounds, because each background is obscuring the photo behind it.
In other words, even after I use the Magic Wand tool in PS and am able to highlight only the product, I can’t seem to find the method of bringing just the photo of the product to another layer or to Illustrator. Whenever I try cut and paste or dragging to Illustrator, the photo seems to revert back to a square around the product AND the white background that surrounds it. That white background then covers whatever is behind it on the page, whether photos of the other products or text. And, since it’s a square box it creates sharp "cuts" into the photo behind it. It’s creating a very jarring collage.
I then figured I’d copy it to another layer in PS with the hopes that the new layer would have only the product, that the background would remain on its previous layer. However, I obviously am doing something wrong, because cut and paste does not seem to be moving the product to a new or different layer.
I know this is a rather newbie question, but any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason
