Removing a whole background from an image can be done by using an image editing program, like Photoshop or GIMP, to apply a process known as "masking." It involves creating a selection around the object you'd like to keep and filling the remaining background with transparent pixels.

To do this in Photoshop, you'll want to use the Quick Selection Tool. With this tool, you can click on areas you'd like to keep and then make any further adjustments manually to refine your selection. Once you have your selection, click the "Refine Edge" option in the top tool bar to further adjust the selection and make any necessary corrections.

Once you're happy with your selection, press Ctrl + J to copy the selection to a new layer, making sure you check the "Layer Clipping" box. This will cut the background away and keep your selection in its own layer with transparency.

In GIMP, the process is similar: you can use the Free Select tool to make your selection, then use the "Select" option in the top toolbar followed by "Save to Channel" to save the selection as a mask. To retain the transparency of the background once you have your mask, go to Layer → Transparency → Add Alpha Channel.

Removing a background from an image can be a time consuming and tedious task, so it's worth taking the time to be rigorous with your selection and masking. With that said, if you devote the necessary time and attention, you'll soon master the art and be able to remove backgrounds from images without a hassle!

There are a few different ways that you can remove a whole background from an image.

The first way is to use an image editing software. There are several programs that enable you to edit your images and remove their backgrounds. Depending on the program, you can perform background removal using various tools, such as a lasso tool, a brush tool, or a magic wand tool. With the lasso tool you can select the background and then delete it. The brush tool lets you "paint" over the background to either cover it in a new color or completely erase it. The magic wand tool selects pixels of a similar color, which makes it easier to delete the unwanted background.

Another option is to use a website that specializes in background removal. All you need to do is upload the image, and the website will do the rest. There is usually an editing feature that lets you adjust the background area to make sure you get the best result.

Finally, you can hire an online freelance graphic designer to remove the background for you. This is a great option if you're looking for a professional result which requires a high degree of skill and precision.

Whichever method you choose, it is important to take your time and go through the steps carefully. Removing the entire background of an image can be difficult, so making sure that you follow the instructions properly will ensure you get the desired result.
