Suppose you have an image of a person, and you want to cut him/her out of the image to put them on a different backdrop, what's the best way to go about this?
For the past er-- 6 years I've been doing this with the polygonal lasso tool, however I read somewhere that the pen tool is the preferred method. I feel like I have less control with the béziers than I do with the lasso. I've tried using my wacom and the freeform lasso tool as well, but no matter what, it's tough.
Is it better to just use the eraser and erase the background from the image?
