To remove a background
you'll need to make a selection then click the 'Add
Layer Mask' button at the bottom of the layers panel (it's a rectangle with a
black circle in the centre), and you'll see instantly that the background is
gone. Double click on the mask in your layers panel (it's the black and
white image next to the preview of your photograph) and then click 'Mask Edge'
in the box that pops up. From here, you can make adjustments to the mask
to improve its appearance. Now, use the sliders to adjust the mask until
you're happy with the look you've achieved.
Adjusting layers
Open
an image of your choice.
Because
you’re applying an adjustment layer, you may want to use an image that’s in
need of some color correction. You don’t need to convert your background into a
layer.Choose Layer→New Adjustment Layer. From the submenu, choose your desired
adjustment. In the New Layer dialoge box, name the layer (if you want), leave
the other options at their defaults, and click OK. You can also just click
the Create a New Fill or Adjustment Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers
panel and choose an adjustment from the drop-down panel that appears. The
dialoge box pertaining to your adjustment appears in the Adjustments panel. The
adjustment layer also appears in the Layers panel. The adjustment layer icon and
a thumbnail appear on the adjustment layer. The thumbnail represents a layer
mask. Make the necessary corrections and then click OK.

Brushing an image
Press Ctrl+J or open Layer menu and select
Duplicate to duplicate the layer. Do this once more so that you have two
layers. Now, rename the top layer to “High Pass” and the middle layer to “Low
Pass”. As you may have guessed, on the High Pass layer, we’ll be applying a
high pass filter and on the Low Pass layer, we’ll be applying a low pass
filter. Lets work on the Low Pass layer first. In the Layers palette,
click on the eye beside the High Pass layer to hide the layer and select the
Low Pass layer that we will be working on.
