Changing the Background in Adobe Photoshop PART 2
1. Open the background that you want to place on the picture, go to Select and pick ALL
2. Next, go to Edit>Copy
3. Go to the first picture that you have selected and go to Edit>Paste to place the new background
4. After you have pasted the new background, Move it around to fit the picture. If the new background is too small to fit the picture, Go to Edit>Free transform to adjust the new background on the picture. You do this by dragging on the corners of the free transform “box”. When you’re satisfied, press enter.
5. Right click on the layers, on the layers palette and pick Merge Down
6. Then, Double Click on the merged layer to turn it to Layer 0
7. You are now ready to fix the inconsistencies in the edges or fill in missing parts by using the clone stamp tool.
Changing the Background in Adobe Photoshop PART 1
There are various ways to change the background in Adobe Photoshop, but this is my favorite way since I can control how refined the edges of the selection becomes.
1. Double click the background layer in the layers palette to turn it to layer 0. Click OK to change it to layer 0.
2. Pick the magnetic lasso tool from the swatch, and trace the person or object in the photo that you like to preserve
3. When you finish selecting the object, right click on the selection (picture) & pick select inverse. This will automatically inverse the selection from the object you picked, to the background that you want to change.
4. The next step is to refine the selection so that the end result will look as legit as possible. Right click on the selection & choose refine edges. Here is what you’ll see:
Radius: To improve the edge in soft transitions or fine details
Contrast: Makes soft edges crisp
Smooth: Removes jagged edges
Feather: Smoothens the selection edge with a soft blur
Contract/Expand: Increase or decrease selection edge
Click the icons below the above items to place a highlight on the selection that you’ve made. That way you can immediately see the changes or a preview of what you are creating.
I want to emphasize the items above. I want you guys to play around with them and try adjusting the sliders to different values so that you can clearly see the effect of manipulating the values on the edges of the selection.
Concentrate on perfecting the selections first, before we go to the Part 2 of this Guide.
Making editing easy in Adobe Photoshop
With ACTION (.ATN) Files
What’s up with Photoshop’s ACTION files?
Action files can be compared to a video recording or a voice record. But instead of recording voice or images, Photoshop records the “actions” that you perform. For example, if you have developed your own system of editing color in Photoshop you can record those actions while performing them. The next time you are going to edit a picture to change its color, all you have to do is play the recording of the actions for color editing and let Photoshop do almost all of the work.
In short it lets you automate your tasks making it easier to perform editing tasks in Photoshop that you usually apply repeatedly. It also includes STOPS that allows you to do the tasks that cannot be recorded or even write instructions for others to follow.
How can ACTION files help me edit pictures or texts in Photoshop?
What’s also great about actions files is that you can download a lot of it from the net. So if you don’t know how to create a certain text effect that you like you can definitely try to search an available action file, download it & open it in Photoshop. Play it in the Actions Palette & you have your instant text effect! It also works for photo effects so just Google the effects you like and I’m pretty sure that somebody out there offers a free download of an action file to suite your editing needs. Even a newbie can create exciting effects using ready made, downloadable ACTION files!
