Photoshop Tutorial

On our previous blog, we discussed how we can be changed the background color of your canvas.

Now, we will be adding an advanced topic for selecting the image and changing the background.

First, you must select the image that you wanted to have a new background you can choose a photo with an existing background and we are going to change it.

To select the image we commonly use Quick Selection tool and Pen tool

The quick selection tool is used for selecting much faster of your target image. As long as the background color and the target image doesn’t have many colors in common it will not be difficult to select. Mostly other graphic artist uses green screen background upon taking a picture. Because by the use of green background you can easily select your target without difficulties.

The pen tool is very useful for selecting an image that totally has same colors with the background. Because using this tool, you will go through every point of your target. You must also be careful to select all the important details and proceed to get every point until you collide with the first point where you started.

Place the image on your canvas by pasting it (control + V). In this new project you can see that your image has created a new layer that is separated with the background so we can now easily choose whatever background we want. Also make sure that the background will be exact with the theme of your image and prevent using unnecessary background. Your image must blend with your background that make it looks like it is a part of your image.
