Extracting Images With Photoshop

Extract Filter

Go to Filter > Extract…. This will open a small window. Notice that your pointer is a rounded brush. You will use the brush to outline the object. Hold Ctrl key (this will snap your moves to edges) and draw a line along the edge of the object. You can change the brush size (on the right of the panel). If you accidentally painted over the object, use the Eraser to erase the green color from those areas.
