With the Image Cutout Studio, removing backgrounds from photos is just a few brushstrokes and clicks away. Simply brush over the portions of an image you don't want with the discard brush or those you do want with the keep brush. Preview your image throughout the process. Choose from several different views, zoom in and out, and change the brush size in order to keep or discard exactly those portions you want. Set up the tools to give you a nice crisp edge or varying degrees of blended transparency.

Once you have the image the way you want, click OK and the newly edited photo appears in your layout. From there you can move it around, layer it over or under text and graphics, and even add new backgrounds.
