How to change the background on a photo using photoshop.

[lonlyheart11]

can i put any other pic on background ??

[MsTeeBlue2]

Wow that was so easy, thanx for making your vid so simply to follow..Cheers!!!

[romanticqueen]

I'm also have a hard time with the magnetic lasso. The pic does not cut professionally no matter how hard I try to be precise. You can see all the hard edges and some of the background cuts with it:( Any tips?

[seeley69]

what i usually do when there is some of the back ground still left or sharp corners, is to select a small soft edge brush tool or soft edge rubber and round off the corners and remove any remaning background. :P

[romanticqueen]

thank you:)

[arunashamal]

@romanticqueen after selecting the image right click on the image and click feather....and give a value... about 5 will do.. it will smooth the edges.

[romanticqueen]

thank you:)

[seeley69]

the first song is calle Make Love in This Club by usher ft young jeezy and the second one is called lollypop by lil wayne

[uuuhhh229]

Thank you soooo much!this really helped me alot!

[kulapongpong]

sir thanks a lot for your video help me a lot too

i am a newbie thats nice thumbs up

[applewire09]

is there another tool i can use besides the lasso tool?

[seeley69]

there is an extraction tool if you go to FILTER, then to EXTRACT. draw around the out line of the shape with the green highlighter, then select the paint bucket, then fill in the area you wish to keep. then click the ok button. this way does extrct the object but sometimes it takes half of the object away with it.

[miodra97]

AWESOME!!!!

[suitedplayer]

thank you so much , this helped me alot thanks

[EDavies94]

Didnt helpmuch, I wanted a Different Background, Not a Different Colour

You Could Of made it clear in the heading

[seeley69]

sorry about that, i did have another video whis tells you how to do it but due to the song i used in the video it got blocked due to copy right

[CandiceLOVE22]

well what if i didnt want a color background and i wanted it to look like i was at an ocean or somthing like that

[seeley69]

when you have made your selection arround the object or person right click inside your selection and click NEW LAYER VIA COPY then open the ocean picture and drag the layer you created with the selection onto the ocean picure and there you have it ... for more details such as resizing excetera please watch my video called HOW TO MERGE 2 PICTURES INTO 1 USING PHOTOSHOP CS3 ;) hope this helps ;)

[RottedDollBaby]

kays. thnx <3

[first779]

But how to change the background with other pictures? =?

[seeley69]

again you may need the Merge two images together Video...

browse through my videos and it will be there...

please let me know if this answers your question

[RottedDollBaby]

did u use the wand tool with a steady hand to trace or does it automatically sample?

[seeley69]

i used the MAGNETIC LASSO tool available when you right click the wand tool and it will be there..

then click one corner and go round the image and it should go round the edge of the object...

if it goes somewhere you dont want it to for example it cuts a sharp corner just keep clicking round the corner every milimetre or so and it should go smoothly round the corner..

please let me know how it goes.

[msseventeeen]

that damn magnetic lasso tool isnt always easy to use, it keeps going to stupid parts of the photo i dont want in it.. i'm gettin real pissed off with it.

i'll come back and watch this again when i stop feeling like i wanna smash something.
