There’s lots of different ways to remove images from their backgrounds. Some ways are more effective and quick than others. Some ways are free, and others cost money. One way is brand new, and it’s actually kind of magical. 
As a digital collage artist, I’ve isolated thousands of images from their backgrounds. I’m sharing what I’ve learned over the last three years so YOU don’t have to isolate thousands of images. And you’ll learn all my best tricks in under an hour.
We’ll review four ways to remove the background from photos: 
<ul>
<li>Adobe Express Background Remover: FREE </li>
<li>Canva Background Remover: requires Canva Pro. Free month trial available. <a href="https://www.canva.com/pro/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank"></a></li>
<li>iOS 16 Background Remover:  Free for iPad and iPhone owners </li>
<li>Procreate App’s Freehand Selection:  $9.99 USD one-time fee </li>
</ul>
Isolating images from their backgrounds is a super useful tool. You can use it for so many things, like
<ul>
<li>Social media</li>
<li>Personalized greeting cards</li>
<li>Art: including collage art and mixed media</li>
</ul>
This class is perfect for anyone who wants to learn how to remove the background from an image. I’ll be using my iPad, Apple Pencil, and the Procreate app. All you need is access to a computer, tablet or smartphone.
There are lots of other ways to remove the background from images. You may have a favorite method that I don’t know about. So please share what you’ve learned about isolating images as a class project. I’d love for all of us to teach each other!
I’ve complied 33 different photos for you to experiment with. They’re all from Unsplash. Unsplash is a website full of beautiful images that you can freely use for any of your creative projects.
