Photoshop Tutorial on How to Remove a Picture’s Background

Here is another Photoshop Tutorial for Beginners. In this tutorial you will learn how to remove a Picture’s Background in Photoshop. There are plenty of commands where you can use on cutting a picture in Photoshop. One I’m using is Polygonal Lasso Tool (L) which I find it very advisable than using Magnetic Tool and Lasso Tool.
