Hello guys,

I have a new question. I'm trying to cut an part from image, which is a text, but I can not do it right.

Is there any tip or plugin for this? What is the best tool? After cutting, how do trim the edges right?

I know how to cut, precariously, but the result is lousy.

Below I show you how it is.

Thank you!!

    Hi all, I apologize for the delay in answering. I had a health problem.

    I suffer from my spine and I was unable to touch the computer these days.

    Tomorrow I'll be going back to Photoshop and I'll test your tips again.

    Thank you very much.

    To make a clean selection of this text you will need to use the pen tool. Draw around all of the letters with the pen to create a path, then make a selection from the path.

    With practice you will get faster. Learn the keyboard shortcut modifiers. For example Cmnd/Cntrl changes pen to direct select. There are lot’s of straight edges in the type which are really quick to draw. Hold down the shift key between points to constrain the line to perfect vertical or horizontal.

    If the text in question is part of a flattened JPG, for instance, then it is usually best to simply make type from scratch.

    You have all the tools to do this very quickly.  Is That what you are asking about?
