What is the best software tool to remove the background from an image?
What is the best software tool to remove the background from an image? It would need to be both affordable and easy-to-use. I have used Fiverr.com and it is afforable, but I'm impatient and usually want the results right away. You know the old proverb: patience is a virtue, catch it if you can; seldom in a woman, never in a man. :-)

Hey Dr John,
In my experience its Clipping Magic!

I have always found this tool incredibly handy, so much that we integrated it in our own graphic software Youzign (http://youzign.com).
Here is a demo of it in action:

Hi There, There are a few automatics tools that you can use such Photoshop and Perfect Mask from on1software, In my opinion I feel more confortable using Photoshop, and if you di that manually you can have very good results, There are a lot of videos that you can check in UT, just search extract background in Photoshop, and if you already use Photoshop, check the process with channels... search extract background in Photoshop with channels
And for me Photoshop it's very affordable just $20 per month subscription (how much money you spend on Starbucks?), I leave in NY :) if you know what I mean

Photoshop CS6 has greatly improved the ability to mathematically separate the foreground from the background. Its not a perfect process and does take practice and experience. Check out the youtube videos on this process, because no two images are alike and sometimes it takes more than one attempt.

Photoshop is the best tool for this, if you don't already have it just download the trial version from the Adobe website and use that.
I like it. Background removal doesn't get any easier than this.
