Photo extractions are a really popular trend right now, but sometimes an edgier look is what you're aiming for. That's where this fun technique comes in. Using your lasso tool, cut out your main photo subject, leaving a small background border around the edges. The look is urban and fresh. For inspiration, check out the layouts our creative team made using this technique, then try it yourself.
