Quick selection question

Post by Dekade »

I have selected a person out of a group photo and then promoted that selection to a layer. How do I get the selection to be its own pspimage file without the checkerboard background?

When you have your selection made follow these quick steps

1) Edit -> Copy

2) Edit -> Paste As New Image

3) Layers -> Merge -> Merge All (Flatten)

4) Save As PSPImage

---------

Obviously Merge Flatten will remove any transparency. So if you want to keep the transparency, just add a white layer underneath the selection. And save the file that way.
