Replacing a background in Adobe Photoshop can be done using several methods. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:
-
Open Your Images:
- Open the image you want to edit and the new background image in Photoshop.
-
Select the Subject:
- Use the Quick Selection Tool or Select Subject button to select the main subject of your image. This tool uses AI to automatically detect and select the subject.
-
Refine the Selection:
- Go to Select and Mask to refine the edges of your selection. Use the Refine Edge Brush Tool to improve the selection around hair or other fine details.
-
Create a Mask:
- Once you’re satisfied with the selection, click OK to create a mask. This will isolate your subject from the background.
-
Place the New Background:
- Drag the new background image into your project and place it below the layer with your subject in the Layers panel.
-
Adjust and Blend:
- Use the Transform Tool (Ctrl+T or Command+T) to resize and position the new background.
- Adjust the colors and lighting to match the subject and background using adjustment layers like Levels, Curves, or Color Balance.
-
Fine-Tune the Mask:
- If needed, refine the mask further by painting with black or white on the mask to hide or reveal parts of the subject.
-
Export Your Image:
- Once you’re happy with the result, go to File > Export > Export As to save your edited image.
