Steps use in Deep-Etching:

Starting the editing – Open Photoshop then selects the pen tool. The icon looks like the tip of a fountain pain. Then click on your image border between the bit and the image background.

Extra point accumulation with the outline –

Next step, you have to click another part of the image to create the next point. Now use the mouse to drag a little left or right. When you see that many points connected and create a line. Continue this process until the outlining of the image is finished.

Tuning of the outlined object –

Now select the direct selection tool then click on the specific point for edit. Now you can see there are little handles. When you pick those handle knobs so that you can move them. You can run ‘knobs’ around until the line follows the outline of the photos. If you want to move one handle through other handle is connected because another handle will also move. To run one of the handles, there is a small trick- you should hold down the ‘alt’ key when you are moving the handle. So, this would break the connection between the two handles. Now you can individualistically move the handles. These tricks only useful when you have a sharp corner or edges in your photo. This step would take the lengthiest time to be proficient. Don’t be hopeless. A small practice would lead you to master in Deep-Etching.

Removing Unwanted Parts –

This part is very entertaining. You want to remove the annoying bits from your photo. You have the outline the picture and finished it perfectly. Let’ make it useful.

Now check the layers tab. Where you see the shape, the layer has created with previous steps. Make sure it is selected now, and you should click the paths tab. There you can see a layer called shape one vector mask or the same thing. Now you should double click the layer- this will give you a pop-up box. This box will let you name your path. Choose a name and click the OK button. And, this is how you saved your outline. If you delete that shape layer by any mistake, you still have your outline backed up safely. At the bottom of the panel, there is numerous option available that allow you to change the layer. You can use ‘load-path as selection’ that looks like a circle with a dashed outline. It’s located the third icon from the left of Photoshop. Now you should click the icon and go back to your ‘layers’ tab. You can see that your path outline converted into a selection and looks like the ‘marching ants.’

You have to duplicate your original image layer in this stage. So that that you have two copies of it and you have a backup if there is an accident occur.

Now on the top bar, you should select the Inverse selection. And, this would turn your image from marching ants outline to the bit and your desire to delete the background. Now select the delete button, and there you have your desire manipulation of the photo. The deep etched image that you can use on your requirements.
