In the Photoshop environment, we will very often just utilize some parts of a certain object, that is to say, the rest part is unnecessary. What can we do with this kind of situation: just take out what we need from a whole picture and use it in other ways? In this tutorial, we will introduce the method of cutting out the objects which have very simple fringes made of glass or plastic. Are you curious? The comparison of the impression drawing and the original one is in the following. Let’s see the steps.

1. Cut out what you need with pen tool and get the first layer(we can build a black layer in order to observe conveniently), and we find there are two transparent parts that is necessary to deal with.( the one with red circles)
|

2. Cut out the upper part first(attention: we can use zoom tool in order to see more clearly)
3. Create the section with CTRL + Enter, and copy the contents in the section with CTRL + J to get the third layer; press CTRL and the left key of the mouse to click this layer and get the new section and then choose the menu → modify → shrink(shrink 2 pixels),and then invert it and delete. Next, use eraser to eliminate the deeper fringe of the third layer and press CTRL and the left key of the mouse to get the section and shrink 1 pixels.

4. Adjust the transparency of the third layer and we can delete some backgrounds according to the fact. Then use the method above to deal with the nether part.

You can change the background with your own taste certainly. Have you got it? In a word, the general idea is that we should get out the highlight part of the fringes to show the reflection effect of the highlight part, and we can use eraser or mask tools to dilute these parts. Try it yourself now!
