Background

[vagabundart]

Hi all,

I have very stupid question, because I can not figure out how to change background on the photo.

Example : If I made photo of the object and background is chairs, or floor, or anything that doesn't fit to it, how I can change it in paint white or black background.

I would appreciate your help

Use Search to look for a tutorial called 'Cutting Out Images the Easy Way', which will describe how to isolate the background of your photo to edit it.

Also, when you get the hang of that tutorial, for a crisper and more professional cut-out, perhaps you could invest a little time in alpha masking ( plugin | tutorial ) that uses the principles of the Cutting Out tutorial, but combines it with a plugin. Depending how well you trace, you can result some fantastic photo-manipulations.

Hope this helps you somewhat.

Also, your topic title could do with a little more description for easy recognition by other members, this is outlined in the Rules, so I'm not on some dictator-trip. Many thanks .

I will try...I have those plug in ,just couldn't figure out how I can cut out and get simple background with image on it..

Thank you so much...

Well, go for the Cutting Out tutorial as that will see you through most easily; if you feel uncomfortable with alpha masking then leave it, you should never work harder unduly.

And the help is no problem at all.

Myrddin offered the two best solutions. I was intimidated by Alphamasking for a while, but it does provide a much cleaner cutout.

CMD has a great tutorial about it at his site here:
