Remove Background in MS Word 2010 Amazes a Fashion Designer!

Microsoft Word 2010 is already in the mainstream for a couple of months now but to some people who are not that techie MS Word 2010 is just another of a word processor.  I beg to disagree, Word 2010 is more than that!  With its new and improved features it can amaze somebody,  and that somebody will going to love the new Word 2010!

It was around 9 PM when my friend / housemate Kristoffer Magboo, a fashion designer and image stylist, is asking me how to print a photo in gray scale.  He has to print a photo of his designs.  So I thought him how, he inserted a picture in MS Word 2010, it turned out that the picture was captured using a digital camera.  A supposedly white background became grayish due to inadequate lighting.  Upon seeing the picture, an idea came into my mind, what if I’ll use the Remove Background feature of MS Word, will it do the trick?  So I asked him permission to manipulate his picture and said OK.  So what I did was, I clicked the photo, directed my mouse pointer to the Remove Background button in the Picture Tools contextual tab, marked the areas to keep, marked the areas to remove, then I hit keep changes.  The next thing I heard from Kris was, “Whooooaaa how did you do that?  Ang galing!” So I explained to him Word 2010 has already the power to manipulate and edit pictures and I also thought him how to do it too.

Remove Background is just one of the new features of MS Word 2010, there are more to be explored.  This what I like with MS Office, it keeps on innovating!

Below is the before and after of the picture I manipulated…
