Photoshop Background Eraser
        

Figure 7-64    How to use Photoshop's Background Eraser.

To isolate this Chinese junk from its background I passed the Background Eraser round
the edge of the junk, overlapping onto the junk itself. The Eraser automatically ignored
the colours of the junk and erased only the colours around it. This made it much easier
to then remove the rest of the background separately (final image).
