hello! :)

I use the magic wand tool to select the background, and then i use the refine edge tool to make the selection a little better. Sometimes i erase things manually with my old little mouse when these aren't good enough though, but they usually are.

Also (thanks to @flukysims!) i learned about this wonderful mod that lets you change the background color while in cas, and sometimes i use it in a bright color (almost brat green for example) to make things easier to select, just make sure that it's a color that isn't on your sims.

Here's an example of a selection i did using only the magic wand with 40% tolerance in a green background (1). As you can see, it does a a pretty good selection, and you don't even need to refine the edges (2).

and here's one with a white background (1), i used the magic hand tool again with 40% tolerance, but the selection was a little bit jagged (2), so i used the refine edge tool and the eraser to smooth it a bit (3).

These were the refine edge tool settings i used. You'll have to experiment with it, mostly the last three sliders. Make sure to open your image in 100% zoom so you can see what each of them does. because it depends on the size of the image you're using (the size of this last screenshot was 1240x900 px). I like to take screenshots with SRWE because it's easier to make a clean selection when there's more details. It isn't a necessary thing though! i just like to obsess over tiny pixels for no reason lol

I also recommend checking @nolan-sims editing section of her resources page here. I love how she edits her photos, and i'm grateful to have stumbled at that page when i did, i learned a lot from there!
