STEP FOUR: When done, go to the

Output Settings at the bottom of the

Properties panel on the right, and

set to the Output To drop-menu to

New Layer. Then click OK.

STEP FIVE: Now that we have all the leaves

nicely extracted from the background, we need

to separate them into individual layers. With

the extracted layer still active in the Layers

panel, select the Lasso tool (L) in the Toolbar,

and draw a selection around one of the leaves.

When done, press Shift-Command-J (PC: Shift-

Ctrl-J) to cut the selected object to a new layer.

STEP SIX: Do this to the other leaves on the

Background copy layer, except for the three

shown here (remember to click back on the

Background copy layer before cutting a leaf

to a new layer). Notice that the three that we

left on the Background copy layer are a fair

distance apart from each other. We’re going

to use this layer as a single foreground cluster

of leaves in the image. You’ll see here we have

a total of six layers containing all the leaves.
