Can you not go so fast? And maybe explain it in a way that one might someone(s) who is NEW to photoshop. Your videos are nice but you often skip over key bits of info in your excitement to get it all out.

[@effgamez1674]

When I press delete fill pops up and i have to choose between like for example content aware or background

[@lPoliticallyFye]

That resize shortcut key was a clutch move! Kudos.

[@Mohamed_Kasim]

Thank you mate you're so incredibly helpful!

[@sadchad4094]

What a ton of people don't actually know is that if the background is a different color (or contrasted) compared to the object you want to cut out, you can select the image and go to "Select">"Select and Mask." Once there, set the transparency on 50%. Now drag your mouse over the object you want to cut out to fill it in. You can tell you've filled in the object completely if it is brighter than it's surroundings. Once you've filled it in, go down to Output Settings and change the selection in the drop down box to "New Layer." Then click OK. This will create a new layer with only your object! If there are parts of the background stuck to the object, you can erase it. This really works with objects that are highly contrasted with their backgrounds. Hopefully I explained it right, maybe you can put this in a video!

[@VerticDesigns]

Good advice, like I always say Photoshop has many different ways of achieving the same result. I'm open to all suggestions and ideas so thanks for sharing. Your comment will be useful to other users and me, also I might do a video in the future that gives information about this topic.

[@sadchad4094]

Thanks for replying! I hope this helped, because when I found this feature it felt a lot easier than the pen tool!

[@sadchad4094]

I edited my first video on this channel! Would you mind giving it a look in your spare time? I would love your opinion on the video!

[@BabuM3RK]

Great tutorial. First official day of learning Photoshop! Upgraded from Pixlr free

[@VerticDesigns]

Welcome to Photoshop! hope it's going smoothly so far

[@BabuM3RK]

VerticDesigns having plenty of fun on it right now

[@VerticDesigns]

@@BabuM3RK same here aha just finished doing a redesign for my friend

[@animesoundcollectionasc2817]

very easy to understand than other videos

[@RonPrieston]

Thanks, used cut after selected and pasted into my project worked 100% perfect,

[@penelopesplaytimeofficial]

Omg, thank you a million. This is the 4th video I watched and finally helped.

[@haydendaum3058]

I have a question. After editing and everyone. There was a part that I have cut in too deep. How can I make the erase be invertible? Like not erasing the picture, but the background. In a sense, restoring the picturing back. Idk if I explained that good, but how can I do this!?

[@jl9782]

best video iv seen . everyone makes these vids thinks people have exp you break it down for newbs like me

[@LisaJamesMarketPlaceWomen]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have watched so many videos to know how to do this, and I wanted to say, thank you for making it easy for me to understand. I got it!

[@keyzzz8379]

yo bro thanks this helps soo much

[@AhmadAlnajjar]

1. when i select the photo and want to remove the background, The inside photo gets cut with Adobe Photoshop CS6 how to reverse the cutting? means how to remove background instead of removing the photo of the person? i really learned alot in this video.. I follow the steps from start and I can tell you that this is the best tutorial for me its like my dream came true and I didnt expect so fast I will remove the background :)

[@VerticDesigns]

it's Shift + Ctrl + I to invert the selection or go to *Select* > *Inverse* But if it's the mask you're trying to invert then it's Ctrl + I when you're selecting the mask.

[@affordabounce]

Do you have any idea,how many videos I watched. I'm so glad I find you videos. Thank you so much !!!!!

[@KSATica]

Awesome tutorial man you saved me a few mins from toying around with the keyboards. Keep it up

[@soccertom1212]

Super helpful. Thanks!

[@BocalokaTV]

Thank you for the video.

[@techliner9955]

Awesome tricks.I needed the image for practice.

[@IM_SHOKO]

Could not complete your request because the smart object is not directly editable. Please help

[@mikethegamedev]

But why when i select inverse and delete,it was -fill in color-? Please help me!!

[@scrapbookee8647]

I think I have something set strangely in my PS... when I hit delete, PS wants to do content aware fill. Will fiddle with it and see if I can figure out what I've screwed up here EDIT: Oh hahaha I had the image locked, because I had reopened the image.... fail!

[@VerticDesigns]

oh right haha just that one little mistake was stopping you

[@lLyriczl]

thanks a bunch man. great video, and your very knowledgeable

[@PBAnime]

Damn, another nice video! Keep on teaching us, amateurs XD

[@muhammadhaziq819]

There should be no coma between "us" and "amateurs". You kinda said that the guy is an amateur.

[@CellRus]

@@muhammadhaziq819 LOL thats what I thought too

[@BloomsProductions]

Simple and informative. Thank you sir

[@france7664]

And intead of dragging the selection outside the picture u can delete the selection by holding ctrl and D

[@VerticDesigns]

Good advice, the reason I drag it out is because sometimes it has a thin outline of the image. But I'll keep in mind that ctrl and d will de-select it

[@france7664]

VerticDesigns this is actually cool considering a youtuber replied to one of MY comments!!!!!! But anywayz just wanted to share incase u didnt know but i understand y u did that now that u explained..... Thx

[@mads341]

I finally found a video that will help me! Tysm

[@TheDee6000]

It deletes the selection, not the background..

[@VerticDesigns]

Do the oppasite and press ctrl and J to dup the layer and separate the bg from the image

[@virr-man9166]

Hola , mi licencia caduca en una semana, como puedo realizar la renovación ?

very helpful thank you so much! :)

[@Tony-Alois]

can someone please help me ? I need te opposite of this. I need the guy to be transparent and not the space around him.

[@eduardvlas8319]

thanks bro

[@VerticDesigns]

No problem

[@xxjtoot8764]

I just need to know how you could save an image of JUST the person. Every time I save in this scenario and I paste the photo somewhere else there’s still a white square behind the object.

[@VerticDesigns]

Save it as .PNG because other formats don't support transparency so they will use a white background

[@xxjtoot8764]

VerticDesigns thanks man

[@VerticDesigns]

@@xxjtoot8764 no problem

[@mileyhuang9135]

this video helps a lot. thank you so much ☺️

[@VerticDesigns]

Sorry I only just got home, what format did you save it as? if you saved it as another format it may just make the background a plain white colour. Also what other editor did you use because that editor might not be in transparent mode like Photoshop

[@mileyhuang9135]

Yup I just figured up checking your comments lol thanks. btw whenever I delete the background, the 'fil'l box jump out so I have to chick the eraser first every time, is there any solution? also sometimes the mouse is only a + but no circle surround it.

[@VerticDesigns]

You can do the eraser tool method every time or look in the settings for the layer and the circle problem shouldn't happen, not sure why yours is doing that. Just restart Photoshop or reinstall it

[@mileyhuang9135]

VerticDesigns xx

[@jjooeeyy2659]

I have an issue where the quick selection tool has some sort of opacity to it, leaving a faded background. Any way to fix it?

[@VerticDesigns]

Can you take a screenshot so I can see what you mean?

[@ismailmahboub4447]

As far as i know, the FIRST tNice tutorialng We should do is SET THE TEMPO, it is very crucial.

[@chloesdad1000]

Superb tutorial.

[@redmwave4994]

Thanks

[@wendy-ii5zz]

When I press delete it says 'could not complete your request because the smart object is not directly editable PLS HELP

[@VerticDesigns]

Click on the layer, then select the eraser tool. After that click anywhere on the screen, a message will come up and you just press ok and that will turn it into a layer

[@swfootball4459]

VerticDesigns thanks a lot I was having same issue

[@jericho8362]

Cool. Now I know how to do it. Good tutorial

[@VerticDesigns]

Thanks and it's great seeing you in my comment section again haha. I'm going to start a new series on this channel soon where I remake peoples banners. Would you be interested in being in one of them?

[@jericho8362]

Sure. You know what you should make a tutorial how to make health bar like in my video of that cats fight. I have watch tutorial from someone else and I barely made it. Take me few hours to get it right. its not simple to do it.Or maybe I am a bit to dumb. Anyway you where my plan B if plan A would failed from that guy tutorial. And i have a bit more questions for sony vegas but all in time if you gonna have any spare time

[@VerticDesigns]

No I don't think your dumb, the tutorial probably didn't have a solid structure for new people learning to do that. But at the end of the day that video was hilarious hahaha. It made me laugh the way you put it all together with the sound effects and visuals. Do you have a Skype or Discord account? we can talk more there about KZbin and other stuff

[@jericho8362]

Skype no, but Discord I will get it

Invert the selecting: ctrl + i

VerticDesigns I really appreciate you getting back to me :) , I’ve figured it out I just had the drag the image then delete the background 😎

[@WuzzyBeawr]

When I hit my delete button after making my selection, it brings up a “fill” window and will do anything other than simply delete the selection. Anyone help me fix this?

[@VerticDesigns]

Sounds like the layer is locked, check see if you've unlocked it

[@sheishema7861]

I was having the same problem. I unlocked it and everything was fixed.

[@swatwithpoint9638]

WHEN I PRESS DELETE IT SAYS FILL PLZ HELP

[@dwingYT]

ur the best

[@ginashields8172]

when i click on delete on my keyboard it deletes the layers not the background

[@VerticDesigns]

Are you selecting the correct layer and does your image say "background" or "layer 0" if its a background you need to unlock it

[@Winduct]

Doesn't work. When I go to press delete I get a pop up saying Could not complete your request because the smart object is not directly editable.

[@VerticDesigns]

Yh with the new update you just need to right click on the layer and click "rasterize layer" then you can edit

[@Winduct]

@@VerticDesigns Oh , ok. Thanks.

[@tomasdanielnieto5398]

easier way select the human and then right click inverse

[@keevon7766]

hey, when i do it it deleted the character and keeps the white what did i do wrong

[@VerticDesigns]

If it does that then you can do the opposite and press ctrl + j and that will make the character on a new layer separated from the background

[@Theneversettlebrand]

How do you do the opposite

[@joshbih]

Whenever i outline ,y image, it just delete what i outlined, not what is outside the lines, what do i do

[@VerticDesigns]

Is the stroke size on max? if it is then it will remove the whole image. Check to make sure its only 2 - 5 pixels big

[@joshbih]

Thank you SO much! it worked :)

[@RexSingleton]

thanks!

[@cozy1601]

How to make an intro tutorial like yours for example. Something quick, neat and simple without all the extra moving around and loud music. Oh and Adobe Premiere please. Thank you

[@VerticDesigns]

Yeah I can do that but the only thing is, I've never really used Adobe Premiere. I made my intro in After Effects. Is Adobe Premier similar to after effects?

[@cozy1601]

Adobe premiere is like Sony Vegas although I heard that it's a lot more complicated but at the same time better. And yes Adobe After Effects i forgot about that one, if you could show us how to make an intro on After Effects that would be great thanks.

[@VerticDesigns]

Ahh right ok. I've heard a lot of people use it for KZbin videos and yeah sure but I'm just going to let you know now that I'm not the best with intros, I'm better with creating still graphics but I'll spend more time making intros so I can get better and make tutorials on it

[@techliner9955]

I need the image for practice.

[@sluibax]

and what are those hot keys to make that smaller when we have Å ,Ä,Ö ?

[@VerticDesigns]

If you don't have "[ ]" on your keyboard then you'll have to manually change the size in the menu at the top left or if you can try switching your keyboard to English and test the keys out. Sometimes if you use a different language the keys are different for example if I had mine set to US then some keys would be different. I would suggest looking on this website for more information: helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html

[@MalisinECila]

I did this and when I went to see how it looks on a shirt the checkered pattern was still white... Help please? T_T

Could you take a screenshot? I'm more of a visual person so it's easier for me to know what you mean

[@MalisinECila]

I tweeted it at you

[@EpicJohnOLD]

whenever i try to delete something, it won't let me

[@VerticDesigns]

Right click on your background layer and click "rasterize layer" that will let you edit it

[@ZohiraTalks]

delete keyboard says that the smart object is not editable

[@VerticDesigns]

Right click on the layer and click "Rastarise Layer" then you can edit it

[@debraflorence3664]

Mine is not going on the outside of the image it is taking the people out too.

[@VerticDesigns]

Then try pressing ctrl + j on your keyboard that should separate the layers in two, after that you can delete the layer with the background on

[@debraflorence3664]

Thank you I will try that.
