: Photoshop - how to get rid of background and resize the image inside it? I am working on this image: And I need to get rid of that gray background, and resize the image itself. Right now

Just drag the "bg" layer to the trash can on the Layers Panel.

The "bg" layer is locked, so you'll need to first highlight the layer in the Layers Panel, then click the little Lock icon at the top of the Layers Panel. You should then be able to drag the layer to the trash icon on the Layers Panel.



To remove the excess area after the background is removed, choose Image > Trim from the menu. Tick the Transparent Pixels option and click OK.

Reviewing the help files for Photoshop would assist in basic operations of this nature.

As for the background, have you tried "Select" -> "Color range" then selecting the background and changing the tolerance to satisfy you? For me it's the easiest way to do it.

Another way to do it is with the Background eraser tool. You may find more about it here: www.sitepoint.com/how-to-quickly-easily-remove-a-background-in-photoshop/
To resize the image go to: "Image" -> "Image size" and simply put different values (you can also resize it there by using percent of the current size of the image).
