Hello!
I’m Victor Zaguskin from clipping-path-studio.com and today I’ll show you how you can remove a background from a picture and replace it with a new one. We’ll use a program InstantMask Pro from clipping-path-studio.com to do it.
As a first step, we need to mark the areas of foreground and background. A green marker marks the parts of the image we need and the red one marks the parts we don’t need. It is quick and simple.
The button we click now is a selection preview. The green color highlights our object and the red one shows the background parts. There are couple incorrect guesses, so we add more marks before we can move on.
Now we can go to the preview mode. We see that there is some more work to do. Now we are going to use the tools called Foreground and Background brush. The first one turns the area into the foreground and the second makes it background. They actually do the opposite things, so if you make a mistake you can use the second brush to undo first and vice versa.
Now let’s see what we can do with the background. First, we can make it transparent.
Second, we can select a solid color, for example red.
Third, we can select a semi-transparent color, specifying the alpha channel value.
There is one more option. It is possible to use another picture as a background to make a collage. We open this view of London and scale it with background zoom button. Now we can use a hand tool to position a man where we want.
Basically, that’s it. Now we just need to save our work. We open the export dialog and type the file name. Now we press OK and we are done!
Thank you very much for watching! Now you can go to clipping-path-studio.com and download Instantmask Pro!
See you there and have a nice day!
