It often happens that you all like photography, except for the background, which is replaced by something more picturesque and original. The ability to combine photographs and replace the background with them will be very useful to you in the experience of designing and processing photographs. With the help of the background, you can change any photo, even the most ordinary one, beyond recognition. Among the many techniques for changing the background, there are both more complex and simpler.
Necessary
Adobe Photoshop program
Instructions
Step 1
Open two photos from which you will create one common one. These photos must be of approximately the same size and resolution, and the same quality.
Copy the background photo and paste it on the open photo with the objects that will later appear on the new background.
As long as you can see that the new background completely covers the photo, and no objects are visible on it.
Step 2
It is very easy to reveal the necessary objects through the background.
Add a mask (Add Layer Mask) to the background layer, which is located at the top of the list of layers. Select "Hide All" - the white square will be filled with black, which makes the mask image invisible. As you can see, the background has disappeared and you are looking at the photo with objects again.
Step 3
Take a brush of medium diameter and choose white from the palette. Enlarge the photo so that it is convenient for you to work with it and so that you do not miss a single element. Begin to gently paint over the areas you want the new background to be white. You will see the background image start to appear. Brush only those areas that need to be filled with the new background. People and objects in the photo, which will have to be on the new background, do not need to be touched. When you get to small and complex elements that need to be neatly separated from the background, zoom in even more, take a thin brush and paint in hard-to-reach places. Now your subject is in the background you want.
