Step 1: Firstly, we open the image we want to replace the background in Photoshop and press the Ctrl + L combination to unlock the image layer.
Then, you select the Magic Wand Tool (W).
Step 2: Begin by clicking the outermost point on the subject or object you want to remove the background from, and proceed to move the mouse pointer around the subject or object.
Step 3: As you move the mouse around the subject or object, there will be a dotted line effect around the subject or object. This indicates that you have completed the stage of extracting the subject or object from the image.
Step 4: After the subject or object has been selected, you then press the Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V combination in sequence to create a new Layer for the subject or object that has just been separated.
