Now, the shortcomings that I’ve listed here do not make these tools useless. Because of this, it’s not very good at cutting an object out from a background that contains different colors or shades of colors (for example, a man in the middle of a city or forest landscape). The Magic Wand – Its effectiveness is very much tied to color. The Eraser Tool – Features some of the same disadvantages of the Lasso Tool, but also isn’t suited for cutting out objects with clear or contrasting borders. The Lasso Tool – Doesn’t allow you to make smooth, rounded edges around objects. Not to mention these methods can be time consuming and don’t offer you the opportunity to make corrections if you make mistakes. The final image could still contain portions of the background, have jagged edges or not be of the highest quality. While these methods may work, they can have many drawbacks. A lot of times, new or inexperienced designers using Photoshop might use the Lasso Tool, Eraser Tool or Magic Wand (as opposed to the Pen Tool) to cut an image out of its background.
