Hey guys, some of you know that I am also a graphic designer. I use Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.

I think i am kinda good at what I do.

Anyway, I thought I should just share a simple tutorial on how I work out my magic.

First, let me share the finished work and a link to where you can purchase the item if you are interested

                                                                                                     

Looking good right

Step 1

Open Adobe Photoshop. I use Cs6 . the method is also applicable in Cs5 and CC. Click on file and Open a new document. then go ahead to search for you image which you want to cut or just drag and drop it in there.

I dragged and dropped the image on photoshop

Next thing to do is to duplicate the image by pressing

CTRL + J

Step 2

Select your Pen tool as shown in the image below or hit the short cut key "P"

Next you start to trace the bottle by clicking around it making points and connecting them.

let's zoom in a little to see clearly. You will notice that the background is blue so the light reflection on the bottle from the camera kinda blends with the background so there is need to be a little patient when tracing

Once it the trace is completed all the dotted lines will form a traced shape or line , you know what i mean. The lines will join. You will notice this as shown it the image. I did a pro job so the lines are perfect. Nice Job @dante31

But we are not done yet. Still on the Pen tool. We will go ahead to trace another portion of the image

Step 3

Once the trace is completed and all the lines have joined

Next thing to do is to hit

CTRL + ENTER

Step 4

Here is where the magic happens

Next you go to the top of the workspace section of the dashboard on Adobe Photoshop

Click on Select. The on the drop down menu Click on Refine Edge or Use the short cut key.

ALT + CTRL + R

Step 5

A pop up menu will appear. On it , Click on the drop down menu beside the preview image icon as shown below

Next you click On Layers as highlighted in blue below

Now the above is completed. What you need to do is go to Output. There is a drop down menu there. Click On New layer as shown in the green circled area

Noticed that there is a red circled area. the section is to adjust the trace in case you did not make it perfect.

Step 6

There you have it a perfectly cut out image.

Next you save it. I prefer to save it as .png format or use the shortcut key.

ALT + SHIFT + CTRL + S

On the pop up menu you can choose to resize the image, change the image format (.gif .jpeg .png) and toggle background transparency etc. Hit the SAVE BUTTON

The Saved Image

The Image Is Huge OMG!
