Removing background from images

[Alex Ross]

Hi,

I am designing a catalog however the photos have a background, for
example the pictures are of shoes but i can see the table the shoe is
sitting on and the background behind the shoe, is there a way to cut
the shoes out in Photoshop so the background is removed?

Thanks

yes,
but it requires expertise using layers and masks or a plug-in such as Fluid mask.

It's much easier to get a big sheet of white paper. Hang the paper so that it is behind and then curves under your object.
