Question: How to chop people from photos using Adobe Photoshop? I'd like to use a photo of myself for an internet profile page. The photo I have chosen has 2 other people in, I'd like to chop them out. So far I have tried selecting them and pressing delete, this has taken them out of the picture. However, I am left with white parts of the photo and when I try and load it on my profile page these white bits show up. So I'd like to know how to cut them out but make the part of the photo that shows me into a new photo. So when I load it as my profile photo it will just show the photo of me, no white sections.

Answer: It would be best to make them turn into the background and leave your picture the way it is.  Use the stamp tool in Photoshop.  Hold alt down and select an area near the person you want to delete to select an area, then click on their face.  It will turn into what you've selected.  You can align it or use the same area over and over and stamp out the faces you don't want.  Be creative and you can make it look like they were never in the picture in the first place.\n\nI use the stamp tool a lot.  It's incredible once you get the hang of it.
