In this tutorial, we are using a photo of a wristwatch with a white background.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2053\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1-3.jpg\" alt=\"transparent background in Photoshop\" width=\"343\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1-3.jpg 464w, https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1-3-262x300.jpg 262w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 343px) 100vw, 343px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Now you need to open the panel, namely Layers. This panel is on the right side of the image window. But in case if you are not getting it, then you can open it from the drop-down menu, which is located on the top. Click <strong>window<\/strong>\u00a0then a layer, or you can open it simply pressing\u00a0<strong>F7<\/strong>\u00a0on your keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2054\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2-3.jpg\" alt=\"transparent background in Photoshop\" width=\"549\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2-3.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2-3-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 549px) 100vw, 549px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">After opening the Layers panel, you&#8217;ll see a panel named <strong>&#8216;background<\/strong>&#8216;. Double click on that panel. A new dialog box will open and will ask for name the layer. Keep this as &#8216;layer 0&#8217; and click on &#8216;<strong>OK<\/strong>&#8216;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2055\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/3-2.jpg\" alt=\"transparent background in Photoshop\" width=\"425\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/3-2.jpg 477w, https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/3-2-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">By clicking\u00a0<strong>OK<\/strong>, you unlocked the background layer, and if you delete anything from the background, it will be transparent.Photoshop will attempt to select the object from your photograph, regardless of the background.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Step-2: <span style=\"color: #008000;\">Create your selection<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>On the left side of the image window, you&#8217;ll see some tool shortcuts. Select the tool, namely\u00a0<strong>Magic Wand<\/strong>, from that. After clicking on the Magic wand, now click on\u00a0<strong>Select Subject<\/strong>\u00a0from the option bar, which is on the top of the image window. Photoshop will select the object that is on the photo. You can see the chosen parts as\u00a0<strong>&#8216;dotted line&#8217;<\/strong>\u00a0on the photo.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2056\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4-3.jpg\" alt=\"transparent background in Photoshop\" width=\"547\" height=\"236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4-3.jpg 773w, https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4-3-300x130.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/4-3-768x332.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 547px) 100vw, 547px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Sometimes the selection is perfect, and sometimes it isn&#8217;t. If the selection does not seem, then you can further use the\u00a0<strong>Magic wand<\/strong>\u00a0tool to remove or add more selection on your image.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In our example, the A.I of Photoshop doesn&#8217;t select the areas correctly. The object shadow isn&#8217;t removed completely. To remove this unwanted area, we will use the Subtract from the option bar. Now click on the unwanted portion until the selection only contains all the areas you want.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">When selecting, make sure you select just the area you want. In the product image, there can be any holes or other things that you do not want it. Make sure that those areas are not selected. In our image, such type of area is where the face of the watch meets the band of the watch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Step 3: <span style=\"color: #008000;\">Delete the background<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>When you got selected all the areas you want, now you need to inverse the background. To do so, type\u00a0<strong>SHIFT+CTRL+I<\/strong>\u00a0on windows and\u00a0<strong>SHIFT+COMMAND+I<\/strong>\u00a0on a Mac. Or you can choose it by selecting Select option from application bar then inverse.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2057\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/5-3.jpg\" alt=\"transparent background in Photoshop\" width=\"384\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/5-3.jpg 519w, https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/5-3-243x300.jpg 243w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">After doing that, you need to delete the background for that press\u00a0<strong>BACKSPACE<\/strong>\u00a0on windows and\u00a0<strong>DELETE<\/strong>\u00a0on a Mac. After clicking that, you will see the picture in a transparent background. Some may think that the photo is not with a transparent background. In Photoshop, they represent a transparent background with a checkerboard pattern.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2058\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-2.jpg\" alt=\"transparent background in Photoshop\" width=\"369\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-2.jpg 534w, https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-2-246x300.jpg 246w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 369px) 100vw, 369px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Step-4: <span style=\"color: #008000;\">Save your image in the proper web-ready format<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Once you make the background transparent successfully, you need to save the picture in a correct format to use it on websites. To display your images with a transparent background, you need to save it in a\u00a0<strong>PNG-24<\/strong>\u00a0format. The format is best because it allows transparency of multiple layers. This means you can use this image with a different color background without facing any problem.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">To save this file, select\u00a0<strong>File &gt; Export &gt; Export<\/strong><strong>\u00a0As<\/strong> from the application window bar. A new dialog box will appeal, in that box, you\u2019ll see file setting which is on the right of the box. Set the file format to PNG, and you also need to make sure that the transparency option is selected.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2059\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/7-4.jpg\" alt=\"transparent background in Photoshop\" width=\"416\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/7-4.jpg 541w, https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/7-4-300x260.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 416px) 100vw, 416px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">On the left side, you can see the predicted size of your image. It is good to save the image under 200Kb because a more significant image means it takes a long time to open a website. To make the image smaller, you need to adjust the dimensions of the picture. The smaller the size is, the smaller the picture will be. But do not make the image dimensions so small it can cause a blurred image.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2060\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/8-2.jpg\" alt=\"transparent background in Photoshop\" width=\"532\" height=\"276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/8-2.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/8-2-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/8-2-1024x531.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/8-2-768x398.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 532px) 100vw, 532px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">You should save the image size 50% more that you wanted to show. For example, you want to show your picture at 400Px wide; then, you should save it at 600px on Photoshop.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Step 5: <span style=\"color: #008000;\">Save your file<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Once you are done adjusting your image dimension, then it comes to saving the image. Click on\u00a0<strong>Export All<\/strong>\u00a0option on the dialog box and chose the folder you want to save it in. Give it a new name or select it on a different folder to avoid confusion about the image. Remove the file (aaa.png) and click save. You have the picture on your desired folder now with a transparent background.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Before and After Image<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2061\" style=\"width: 667px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2061\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-2061\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/9-2.jpg\" alt=\"transparent background in Photoshop\" width=\"657\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/9-2.jpg 882w, https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/9-2-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.clippingpathhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/9-2-768x327.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 657px) 100vw, 657px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2061\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">transparent background in Photoshop<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>There are several benefits of using a transparent background in Photoshop:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Versatility in design:<\/strong><\/span> When you remove the background and make it transparent, you can place the subject of your image on any background, or even overlay it onto other images or designs.
