How do I export a cutout in Photoshop?

To export a cutout (an object isolated from its background) in Photoshop, you'll essentially want to save it in a format that supports transparency, like PNG. Here's how you can do it:

1. Isolate the object: Ensure the object you want to export is isolated from the background. This usually involves using selection tools (like the Quick Selection Tool, Lasso Tool, or Pen Tool) to create a selection around the object, then inverting the selection and deleting the background or creating a layer mask.
2. Verify Transparency: Once isolated, you should see a checkerboard pattern in the background of the layer containing your cutout, indicating transparency.
3. Export the cutout: Go to File > Export > Export As... or File > Save As....
4. Choose the PNG format: In the Export As or Save As dialog box, select PNG as the file format. PNG is the recommended format because it supports transparency and is lossless, meaning it preserves the quality of your image.
5. Transparency Setting: (If using "Export As...") Ensure the "Transparency" box is checked. This tells Photoshop to preserve the transparency you created.
6. Choose a Folder and Save: Choose a folder for your exported file, give it a name, and click "Save" or "Export".

That's it! You now have your cutout saved as a PNG file, ready for use in other projects.
