Does any one know Photoshop really really well? I have a picture of my brother-in-law that passed away and my wife would like to change the background. It is a picture from his wedding and the background is terrible. Anywho if any one can help it would be appreciated. I would be willing to pay some money or even trade some parts from my parts bin. |

Very easy to do.
their is a way to cut and paste any image onto another as a transparent selection. I've done this with Sir Andy's image many times (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Use the freehand selection tool to outline your subject. Cut and paste onto the new image. you may want to resize the images to keep things to scale. KT |

actually, if the background is rather monotone, simply use the "magic wand" tool with a tolerance of about 8 to 16 pixels and "Anti-aliased" and "Contiguous" turned on ... you can then delete everything inside the selection and put a layer with your new background underneath ...

start with the new background first:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11-1135200871.jpg) then open the picture of your brother-in-law: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11-1135200883.jpg) simply drag & drop the layer of your brother-in-law onto the background picture and position him where you like: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11-1135200894.jpg) select the "Magic Wand" tool and configure it like shown. Use the tool to click onto the background of the brother-in-law layer: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11-1135200907.jpg) hit backspace to delete your selection: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11-1135200923.jpg) you might want to do some cleanup along the edges, voila, not too bad for 2 minutes of your time!

Mike - if you don't find someone else first, drop me a note. I'll do it for you (I do retouching all the time for clients).
