<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Justin Lee, post: 3111219, member: 87404&quot;]I use the Magnetic Lasso Tool if I needed to remove a background, then us the Polygon Lasso Tool to clean up any inaccurate selections.&nbsp; Another way, if the background is consistent in color and there was enough contrast with the coin edge itself, would be to use the Magic Wand Tool (with Contiguous checked). Or if you photograph on a special color not included in the coin (often green, like they do with chroma keying weather people), you can use the Select &gt; Color Range... color pick your color you want to select (ie the green background) and adjust the Fuzziness setting to make the background white and the coin black, hit OK and you now should have the bkgd selected to Cut (or invert your selection, Cmd+Shift+I, and copy your coin to another document).&nbsp; Though by photographing with a bright color like green, you might need to color correct your coin to remove any color reflection (called &quot;spill&quot;) on the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
