In this blog post, we’ll show you how to isolate an object on a plain background. This can be useful for product photography or for creating artworks.
Step One: Open your image.
Step Two: Click ‘Select Area’ and choose ‘Background’
Step Three: Use the brush to paint over any area that you want to remove. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect, we’ll go back and adjust this later.
Step Four: Click ‘Confirm Selection and Browse Effects’ and choose your new background.
Step Five: Click the mask tab at the top right of the screen to adjust the mask. Don’t forget that you have three brushes to choose from ‘Find Soft Edge’, ‘Find Hard Edge’ and ‘Airbrush’. You might want to use a combination of the three to get the best results.
Step Six: You’re finished.
Have you created a great image using Smart Photo Editor? Share it with us on our Facebook page.
Can you please give a more detailed explanation of removing a background and making it black or white. I’ve spent hours on your program to no avail.
Please please tell me the effect used on the buildings at the head of this blog.
THANK YOU THANK YOU
