I have here an image of a good family friend , replace the background of this photo to something more studio-like... like a cloth backdrop, or something that will naturally flow well with the portrait image (also with the chair remaining in the image ).

How do I change a background on a group photo in Photoshop. The photo has 8 people but unfortunately the backdrop was not big enough to cover completely behind them. I do have another photo with just the background.

So far I have been able to do it but alot of the times the main subject in the image is covered by the texture. My goal is to replace the background only with a texture and leave the rest of the image as is.

1. I have a photo of a cat whose eyes are highly reflective of light. The color is not red but white. In another photo I have a photo of a dog whose eyes came out as bright green.
I'm wondering, in GIMP 2.8 for Windows XP Pro, how I might remove those colors and substitute the animal's true colors or something more natural? It's not red eye or else I would try the Red Eye removal feature.
2. I have a third photo of a dog lying next to papers. I'd like to substitute, perhaps, the blond/brown desk color over those white papers so that it looks like there are no papers in the photo.
Is there an easy way to do that? I was reading about an EXIF plug-in named Save for Web which is supposed to remove prior info about your photos. Will that plug-in work once I make the eye color and white papers changes in my photos?

I am trying to change the background of a photo. Not just change the color but change the color AND make it keep it's original shading, etc. I have some family photos we had made recently and they used a beige color draping for the background. The ones we had made before had a black draping. I was wondering how I could go about using some sort of additive coloring to transform the varying shades of beige to the same varying shades of black.
I have already used the masking tool to separate the background from the rest of the photo.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm creating a collage of photos (mockup, right now). The background on which those photos will be added as layers is at 100 dpi.
When I copy a 300 dpi photo that shows up on my screen at 100%, and paste it on the background (also viewed at 100%) — I would expect the 300 dpi pasted photo to render on the 100 dpi background at a 300% ENLARGEMENT... But it shows up at the same size it was rendered in it's own window... That doesn't make sense to me... Am I suppose to first lower the resolution of the 300 dpi photo to 100 while enlarging it's physical size 3 times?
Why can't I see my photo when I drag in on top of the second background tab? I have an online course and one of my assignments required us to change backgrounds. After following the video instructions precisely, I was not able to see my photo on it's new background once I dragged it onto the new background tab.

This is one of the tutorials that seems very straight forward(except for a couple typo's) but when I try it, I'm told the file could not be copied to clipboard because it's too large...however it does appear to paste the car over the bottom photo? Or did it?
"First open one of the shots in PhotoShop and select the entire image by pressing Ctrl-A, then cut or copy the image into the clipboard (Ctrl-X or Ctrl-C, either will do the trick), now close this image ... without saving ! Very important, we don't want to change the original image file, you never know you might need it again in the future.
Now create a new document (Ctrl-N) and just click 'OK', no need to change any of the settings, they are set to the content of the clipboard anyway so I can leave them 'as is'. Once the blank document is there hit the Ctrl-V to paste the first image into place. Time to open the second exposure, again Ctrl-A to select the entire shot, cut or copy the image (Ctrl-X or Ctrl-C) and close this file again (Ctrl-W)... do NOT safe the changes to keep the original image intact !
With this second image closed again I am automatically returned to my new document that already contains my first exposure, just hit Ctrl-C to paste the second exposure on top of this one and I'm halfway done already. The order of these shots isn't really that important, you will be exposing parts of one shot into the second one, which one lies below doesn't matter anyway."
Let's say the screen shot below is workable, if not I'll do it the correct way BUT how do I make the brillant layer masking work from here. Everything I've seen says to select the mask, then select the brush, then type of brush, make sure white is the foreground and black is background and just paint. When I paint nothing happens to my images?
Then I've tried going to File>Scripts>Import as Stacks and this seems to bring them in but w/ transparent layers underneath,

I am working in Photoshop Element 6 and am also having problems with removing my background. The photo is a picture of me with an off white color wall behind me. I read the post from January of someone having the same problem and I tried to follow each of those directions but have been unsuccessful. I am more familiar with Paint Shop Pro but can't for the life of me figure out how to cut my photo out of the picture.
View 1 Replies View Relatedworkflow problem when dealing with a composite, selection and background layer. My normal workflow is to start of in LR4, and if need be do an "edit in, CS6". I am relatively new to CS6, so bear with me.
I have some portraits I want to put different backgrounds on. I am using Matt Kloskowski's Layers book and Composites books written for CS5. I also have Martin Evening's book on CS6 and the workflow for doing a composite is pretty much the same. The catch is that none of them start off in LR with the original photo. They all describe the following basic workflow pattern:
1. Bring up the main photo in CS using "edit in CS6"
2. Change the photo from a background layer to a regular layer
3. Make a selection.
4. Make a layer mask
5. Refine the edge
6. open the background photo you want to place the selection in (steps 4 and 5 are sometimes reversed so you are refining the edge on the new background)
7. copy and paste the original photo onto the new background
8. Refine the edge if not already done
9. Save and exit back to LR with the composite
If I follow this procedure I run into a couple of problems:
1. My backgrounds are in a separate folder on my computer and not cataloged in LR. So, if I open them in photoshop and paste the original photo onto that image, LR will not know that I want to take the new composite back to the original folder along with the portrait. If I go to save the image, CS want to take the composite back to the folder on my computer where I got the background from. I tried playing around and tried renaming the composite similar to the naming convention I use for my photos in LR and then importing it into that folder after I have saved it in the background folder. This had some unintended consequences. First, I had trouble renaming the composite photo. For some reason Windows kept plugging in an old photo file name from one of my photos taken two years ago. After I discovered that I could work around it. But after the first composite finally got into LR, when I tried to do it again, the import button on the left side of my LR went dark and I couldn't import the second composite photo I was working on. This could have been a coincident and unconnected LR glitch, but I have never had that problem before.
So...I was thinking of modifying the workflow to the following:
1. Bring up the main photo in CS using "edit in CS6"
2. Change the photo from a background layer to a regular layer
3. Make a selection.
4. Make a layer mask
5. Refine the edge
6. open the background photo you want to place the selection in
7. copy and paste the new BACKGROUND onto the original photo
8. Move or make the new background layer THE "Background" layer
10. Refine the edge
11. Save and exit back to LR with the composite
I am envisioning this will ensure that my composite will wind up back in LR because it is still keeping track of the original photo which now has gotten the new background, regardless of what the file name of the new background was.
I'm moving pictures of people onto a backround of flowers and plants. I've used the magic wand and polygonal lasso to get the people on to the backround. That works fine, except the backround near the persons hair shows up as a halo or line around them or I see the backround between the starnds of hair.
How do I have the person show up on the backround without lines or the backround from where I moved the person from. I hope this makes sense., I'm using CS4
I'm trying to import a photo created in photoshop with a transparent background to Adobe Flash and I'm getting a noticeable halo around the photo. This is exported as a PNG-24. I've tried going in to the photoshop file and taking off a little bit, but it still gives me the same outcome. I've also tried exporting as a GIF, and a PNG-8 with a matte. No matter what I do, it leaves the halo.

I know that I can change the foreground (black) with monotone, but I want to change the white (inverting the image would just invert the problem, so it's no help).

And also how to make a picture layout so the background (and main photo) is faded, with other photos over the top, as attached.
Using PS CS4 on XP. I just got a job back from the printer company & I am noticing some lines that didn't appear on my print out here (on xerox color printer machine) to compare. I didn't really catch them on the proof either, but they used an epson proof and we printed on 100# gloss text stock for the final.
What I have going on is a gradient background (using shape layer and gradient layer style effect) from a white to a light tan. Top to bottom on a regular Letter size sheet. In the upper right hand corner I have a image of a face that had that same light tan in the background. I faded this image into the gradient background by using gaussian blur.
This is not very noticable in the file, but I can tell that it is there...you have to really focus your eyes to see it, but it's there, a line going around the image where the gaussian blur is. I'll attach a photo of the edge. I guess what I'm saying is it is not smooth - the image edges being blurred into the gradient background, but printed off a regular printer, it looks smooth. Is there anything I can do to prevent this in the future?
Say I have a bunch of pictures, and I want to place each of them on a certain (bigger) background, is there a way to do this in an efficient manner instead of opening up each photo and manually putting it on the background and then saving them individually?
So for example, I have a bunch of pictures taken and they're say, 100x100. And I have this background that's say 150x150 and I want to have each photo with the background behind it. Is there any way I can do this efficiently? Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP SP3.
