Photoshop Tutorial: "Change Background"

Back


Difficulty: 5 Moderate

The key to this project is correct usage or layers. Don't worry, Photoshop takes a while to learn and I'll admit it has been frustrating at times. But don't worry, you'll get it. Feel free to ask if you don't.

****NEW****
www.fullaperture.org will have threaded discussions and FAQ to make it easier to learn and teach.

*Disable your original layer after you duplicate it at the begining of this tutorial.

*Remember the layer you are removing the background from is your second layer.

* Pay attention which Layers you are working in compared to the video. "Background Layer" has no transperancy, so you can't delete the background from it.

*in the end layers will be staked in this order.
Gradient shadow
black & white soft light model
model
designs
Gradient gray
Background (original layer) (turned off)

Do you have any of these for GIMP?

You make it WAY too difficult, you just need to add a new layer on top with the new background, set it to multiply and use a brush on its mask to add the background; it's fast and 100% accurate.
I don't have a video for it, but watch YouTube video "CHP Photoshop Tutorials (English) Part 2", he's pretty much doing what I meant to say.
