Remove Any Image Background With Clipping Magic

Remove Any Image Background With Clipping Magic | Digital Presentations in Education | Scoop.it
Clipping Magic is a free web app for quickly and easily removing image backgrounds.

When using images for PowerPoint presentations, blog posts and other projects, one may require removing their background so that they may blend in with the colors of your presentation slide, blog or canvas.  However, removing a background image isn’t easy and being a PRO at PhotoShop is not possible for everyone.

Baiba Svenca's insight:

Clipping Magic is a very useful free tool for removing image backgrounds.

The post takes you through the process of the background removal. No doubt this is a very handy tool.

Thanks to Alfredo Corell for the tool suggestion.

Improve Your Screenshots by Framing Your Image

Improve Your Screenshots by Framing Your Image | Digital Presentations in Education | Scoop.it

Some images have a natural border, while others require you to decide where an image begins and ends. For instance, if you use Window capture, the captured window...

Baiba Svenca's insight:

Think about what your audience will see and what you want them to see by framing your screenshot wisely. The examples demonstrate the striking difference between the three images, each framed in a different way. Backgrounds are important too.
