Mag Front Cover 

-To separate the image from it's background, you need to select colour range, and click on all of the background then select inverse it since we want the image selected and not the background.

-In case part of the image has been selected also due to being the same colour as the background, click on quick mask mode and make sure the colour indicates: "selected areas" and the colour is "black" with "100%" opacity. Then you paint the areas of the image that is not black to black by using the paint brush tool. You should be able to separate the image and the background now by right clicking the image and selecting "layer via copy"

 which creates a new layer for the image.

-If you want to edit the image, you can make copies of it so you can see the difference between the different filters.

-You can use effects to edit the Headline

Removing Background

-Using the colour range tool remove anything from the picture that you don't want in the background then the part you want to keep is selected once you inverse it. 

- Quick mask mode is double clicked allows you to clear up the white bits so that it isn't removed with the background. 

- Choosing the white background gets rid of the backgroun
