Re: clipping images
Thanks.
I am designing a book cover with InDesign.
I have made the cover of the book blue.
I have a photograph of the author, full length, which I want to "cut out" to stick on the blue.
At the moment, if I place the photo on the cover, I get the person, then the white background of this rectangular photo.
If I were doing this on paper, I would be clipping round the image of the person and glueing them on to the blue cover.
How do I do this in Photoshop? I realise from what you say that I must make those white pixels behind the person invisible or transparent. But how?
The InDesign guide says this must be done in Photoshop before importing.
