Removing the Background from an Image with Photopea

Removing the background from an image is essential to building composite images. In this Photopea Tutorial, we'll take a look at how to remove the background from a simple shape, and a more difficult one.

We'll see how to make a background transparent with the magic wand tool on easier shapes, and how to use the refine edge tool to make a much more precise selection. We'll cover how to use a raster mask, a non-destructive way to remove the background from an image.
