STEP TWO:

Right click on the layer and select Add Alpha Channel so now when you erase the background, instead of being white, it'll be a tile pattern.

STEP THREE:

There are more then one methods by which you can erase the background of a picture. First is the wand tool. Click on the part you want to delete, say I clicked on the yellow part which you can see is selected. You can also press shift and do the selection, that way is easy too. Once you are done, press delete on your keyboard.

STEP FOUR:

Another way is the path tool which we used before as well in our first tutorial. Make the selection around the subject. Make sure you have zoomed in the picture so it's detailed and easy.


STEP FIVE:

Once you have made the selection all around the subject, right click anywhere on the picture. Put the cursor on 'Select' and click on 'From Path.'

STEP SIX:

After which you have to click on 'Invert' option so the selection is inverted, i.e the selection is now all over the background except the subject.

STEP SEVEN:

Now just press the delete key on your keyboard and you'll notice the background is completely erased.

STEP EIGHT:

Obviously there are few details still left, as you can see the part near Shay's hair, it's still yellow. In order to perfectly erase that, right click anywhere on the picture. Put your cursor on select and click on 'By Color'. This option will help in selection according to the color. Therefore, by clicking on the yellow part on her hair, a selection is made. Press delete and that shall get removed as well.


And there you have it. The perfect PNG of Shay Mitchell. Eight easy steps and you're done!

*Clears throat*

Looks like S isn't the only style queen around here. 

Please ignore me, I was just trying to add up the little gossip girl spice. A little throwback here though? Let's walk down the memory lane where we go through the amazing fashion sense of Blair Waldorf from the TV show, Gossip Girl. I know, Serena Van der Woodsen's fashion sense is all people talk about but have you seen Blair? I want to steal her closet, literally.

"Whoever said money can't buy happiness didn't know where to shop." - Blair Waldorf

So here are 20 times Blair Waldorf was our style queen and I personally wanted to steal her closet;
