[@Abo39FooR]

is there a way to automatically select and cut out an object without the pen tool? like an odd yet different color shape that can be easily identified by ai, but takes too long to select by human just to cut the time. please anyone help. I'm already too deep in youtube and couldn't find a way.

[@Emsyaz]

I love your tutorials. No fluff, no filler and its super clear. I also like the fact that you zoom in to the specific area of the software interface that you're clicking.

How you do on blle buttton only in PS?

[@DuyTran-ss4lu]

For those of you who want to cut the background with multiple paths, not just 1 path like in the video, just select all the paths, use pathfinder tool (or Shift + M) to remove small paths then they become 1 compound path. Then Clipping Mask -> Make like the video.

[@SrtKillz12345]

Thank you, so much for this. I’ve looked at other Adobe videos, and I could never get a accurate or even a straight forward way, to basically cut/copy a specific part of the image. With beginners, we know what we visually want, but don’t know the graphics vocabulary to ask the right question, which is very frustrating, when many you tubers largely take advantage of that. Your video just answered a question I have trying to figure out ( on Adobe, by myself) for over a month 😳. Thank you, again. Subscribed
