Clipping Magic

This website allows the user to upload a picture and easily remove the background so you are left with just the main object or objects from that picture.  You might want to use these for an icon to use on glog or a word document.  It is free and simple.  Just upload your picture.

Then mark the foreground object green and the background object red.  You can zoom in to make this easier.

Save it and you are done.  I know that you can do this with photoshop but not all the computers in our school have photoshop imaged on them.  To try this click here.
