Remove black background on Photoshop (2022)
Most images from the Internet contain a background, either a white or black. The most common solution to get rid of the background is to make a selection of the background with a selection tool and delete it. There is a much faster method to clear the white or black background under Photoshop (if the image is made up of several distinct layers).
How to quickly remove image background on Photoshop?
- Open your image in Adobe Photoshop.
- Double click your thumbnail layer to open the blending options.
- Go into the Blending Options (first tab) and then in to comparison to gray (at the bottom).
- To remove a white background slightly pull the white slider to the left (a value of 250 is usually sufficient).
- Conversely, to remove black background, pull the black slider to the right.
You can also remove the image background in Photoshop manually by selecting objects with tools and subtracting them from layers.
