THE BACKGROUND ERASER
PROS
Easy to use
Gradual control
CONS

Destructive editing that erases pixels
As the name suggests, the Background Eraser tool is useful for removing backgrounds in your photos. Whether you want to cut out an object, make a background transparent or replace it with a new one, this tool can be very handy. It works by seeking out edges and similar colours in the backdrop, then erasing them. So it’s sort of like a combination of the magic wand and eraser tools.
