Picture Pop-Out Tutorial

Made by: Nick

Here I want to make this footballer "pop out" of the picture


I am looking to turn it into something like this:



So start by using Magnetic lasso tool (or whichever tool you would prefer to use to select the person)

 

and make a selection around him
 
 

Now you may notice some selection mistakes if you zoom in

 

To fix this I will switch to quick mask mode and use a brush or the erase tool to correct the selection ( notice that the red area is the area that is NOT selected )

 

Switch back to normal mode and copy then paste the selection into a new layer

and delete it by pressing the delete key on your keyboard like this

Final Result

I added a border effect behind the person to the image and created this:
