What is render?

Render is basicly image with one-colored background or no background at all. You will probably need it hundreds of times, so it is good to learn it in the beginning.

Let\'s go!

So what do we need? First of all you need your image. Click File -> Open and open the image you want to have removed background. There are many ways to delete your background. You can use erasor, lasso tool, shapes, polynomial lasso.. but we are going to use my favourite way. The way of Pen :)

Select Pen tool and in set pen to make paths. And now.. click the image edge between background and foreground(=image, that you want to have without background). Notice a small dot created. Click on another place, but near the previous dot and on the edge of your image and it\'s background. Continue until you have entire foreground dotted and then ofcourse.. your final node(= dot) should be right next to your first node and on the other side of your second node(this ofcourse depends on the shape of your render). And now click on the first node to close the circle.

Now select Path layout, right click on your you\'ve just created. Click on Make selection and click OK. You now have your entire render selected. There is only one final step to make.. hit CTRL + SHIFT + I to make inverse selection. This will select EVERYTHING except your former selection. Hit delete to erase your selection, hit CTRL + D to deselect. And that\'s it! You\'ve just successfully removed background from your picture. Neat:)

Hope you liked this tut, and don\'t forget : Save a lot;)
