macmost.com/e-2620 Here's how to remove the background from an image using the Preview app that comes with macOS. The Smart Lasso tool does a so-so job, but it is useful to know how to use it in case you only occasionally need to do this and don't wish to purchase another app to edit images.

A very useful video tutorial today. You explain so well. Thanks for the visuals. Thank you, Gary! 👍👏🏻❤️

Very helpful! Thanks. I didn't know you could do this using Preview. I can see it useful for keeping the subject of a photo in full colour but desaturating or turning B&W the background.

So helpful! This was so easy to do, and perfect for a crafty project. :)

That first tip with the mostly solid background will come in handy. I’ve tried the smart lasso and just don’t have the steady touch. Another very helpful video, Gary!

On another YT vid , they show that in Ventura you can do a quicklook on an image , then hold down the mouse button and it has copy selection , it actually cuts out the background , really impressive !!!

Heya bro Thanks for the videos I do this most of the time for a quick fix good vid 👍🏼 ... I have a question, not to do with this above video. I am trying to connect my MacTower (old heavy bit of metal) with no monitor to (be seen on) my laptop ?? Do you have any videos on your channel where you explain that process, if not could you do one please. I heard somewhere 'COMMAND T' but not sure where I heard it and how it was used etc. thanks in advance 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

There's no real way to use a MacBook screen as the screen for your Mac Pro. Just get a cheap screen, even a used on, if nothing else.

@MyDogSteppedOnaBeee 2 года назад

Hi Gary is their a way to make the entire background a solid color like white for example around a person or object? Thanks for the video!

@macmost 2 года назад

If you select the subject like I show, then copy, then File, New From Clipboard, you'll get a transparent image with just the subject. But if you export to PNG and uncheck "Alpha" then you get a solid background. Or, export as a jpeg which doesn't even support an alpha/transparent channel.

thanks Garry. Any way background can be "ADDED" natively in macOS?

Not sure what you mean. How is that different from what I show here?

@soapsoilandsunshine3241 Год назад

I just found a tool which just has a "remove background" feature in preview mode - it's an HEIC image. Seems to work OK. Is it possible to change the background colour?

@macmost Год назад

Not sure what you mean. If you remove the background there is no background to have a color.

How do you change the color from grey background to something else?

@macmost 3 дня назад

Not sure what you mean. If you remove the background, there is no background. The gray is just something shown because something has the be there, your screen can't be "transparent." If you want to take the subject of one photo and put it on a solid background, you would copy it and then paste it on another image that is a solid background.

Hello sir, is there a way to remove the video background on the Mac? Background not in one color

@macmost 10 месяцев назад

Not sure what you are trying to do. Just remove the background so it is a solid color? There's no easy way to do that with Preview or anything I use.

Why not just right click the photo in finder and select remove background? It works very well.

How can I restore part of the image? Let's say the "Copy Subject" did not get some part of the part you need. Let's say it cut your hand. How can I restore that?

@macmost 11 месяцев назад

You can't. If you need to be more precise, then you'll need to move up to an image editing tool. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_qKGCF_Gwhk.html

Wierd...when I do it, it crops everything except the area I lasso'd

@macmost 4 месяца назад

Sorry, I don't understand. When you select an area and use it to crop, it will crop to that area. What's the alternative, that it leaves a hole in the middle at that selection?
