turl: You heard the man, bring your issues forth and let's look into it together.

No logo requests or nothing o, strictly intended for people with PS issues.

Let it rip!

Hi Turl
I am an amateur in P.S,
Could you please educate me in how to change the background of a picture using PS 5.
Will be counting on you for the steps.

Jerrite:

yea, i did search on google, been trying different methods but still not satisfied with the result, that's why i asked for help. Never tried reducing the opacity tho.

Hi Jerrite, sorry you haven't heard form me man, been tied down with work and other things. I did try to create a tutorial but ran out of patience halfway through lol. So I though I'd point you to where I learnt how to do most of what i know: http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tools-tips/photoshops-pen-tool-the-comprehensive-guide/

Its a long tutorial but its detailed, thorough and better than anything I can serve up at this point.I can guarantee you that if you can grasp the pen tool you'll unlock a ton of possibilities with PS. Let me know If you don't grasp anything at all from the tutorial and that should be easier to answer.

PS: I am aware that this isn't the answer you were looking for but trust me on this. You'll be needing the pen tool for a lot of things besides drawing so it's kind of a must.

Hi Dj, To change the background you need to be able to 'lift' the object you want from the picture and put it on a desired background. This can be achieved through different means and the best option depends on the image you're trying to move to a new background. If it's an image with sharp/straight edges then the lasso tool might do the trick or a single coloured image can be lifted with the magic wand tool.
An image with rough edges like hair will have to be carefully selected, probably with the use of masking and contrasting..and the list goes on.

My point is, it depends on the image, how about you post a screenshot and I'll tell you the easiest and fastest way to go about it.
Cheers.

Tanx for dis thread Turl, I'm having problem using d layers in photoshop. Hw do I insert another image into a second layer

dothis91: pls help me..on how to change d backgrand of an image...usin adoble photoshop

Hi, to get this done, simply select the image you'd like to have its backgrounds changed and copy to a new layer.
The best way to select will depend on the nature of the image you have as I mentioned in one of my earlier posts.

A quick simple selection can be done with the lasso tool (short cut - L). a good tip is to use the polygonal lasso tool (right click the lasso tool to see the different types available. The lasso tool should be the active icon on the tool panel to the left of the screen.)

Another quick option is the magic wand (W) which only works well where there is a strong contrast between either the object you need isolated or its surrounding parts, which should most likely be one solid colour.

For a more complex selection, you would have to learn how to use tools like the pen tool (P).
Link here: [url] http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tools-tips/photoshops-pen-tool-the-comprehensive-guide/ [/url].
Also, you would have to learn things like masking. What that is in a nutshell is you, using the brush tool to act as an eraser. Only difference is, you can 'un-clean' what you've cleaned off because photoshop stores the pixel data when you put a layer in this mode so it gives you more flexibility.

So, say in a professional setting, a digital artist needs to change the background of a model from the studio to a sandy beach;
- He imports a hi-res pic of the model taken in the studio with the lighting and what not.
- He then imports a picture of a beach probably from a premium stock photo site.
- He uses the pen tool ( and some masking tools for the hairs) to select the model in detail (the pen tool gives you the best flexibility and clean cut finish when it comes to image selection - although, more time consuming than the magic wand.)
- When the image is cut, he moves the cut-out model to the beach picture file and drops it there.
- From there, he then cleans up the image and adjusts the colours to the tone of the lighting from the beach pic, adds shadows and highlights (dodge and burn tools are usually used here) as well as airbrushing, blemish correction (clone stamp and spot healing tools) amongst other things.

I hope in my trying to explain the process, you now have a basic grasp of how image backgrounds can be easily altered.

Sorry for the essay man, I get carried away sometimes.

daisyella: Tanx for dis thread Turl, I'm having problem using d layers in photoshop. Hw do I insert another image into a second layer

Hi, to do this, simply create a new layer, copy whatever image to the system clipboard (that's basically right-clicking the image from any part of the computer and copying) then come into PS and Ctrl+V (paste for windows) or Cmd+V (paste for Macs) while your new layer is selected.

if that doesn't work, just right click the image and go to 'open with' then select photoshop from the menu.
If PS isn't there, click 'choose default program' (I'm assuming you're using a windows btw - sorry if you're a Mac user ) and from the pop up, uncheck 'make this the default choice' or something along those lines and then navigate to photoshop.

Let me know if that worked. It should do anyway, but just incase it isn't clear enough, give me a shout and I'll sort you out.

Cheers and sorry for the typos.

Please i want to ask you a question.Please between RGB and CYMK which one is good for print production?And which resolution is 72 OR 300?

quiestla: Please i want to ask you a question.Please between RGB and CYMK which one is good for print production?And which resolution is 72 OR 300?

Hi quiestla, interesting question there. short answer: CMYK, 300 DPI (at least) is what you should go for when you print.

Long answer: CMYK stands for the four colours, printers combine to create whatever colour you throw at them: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Keyline or black. That being said, these colour combinations are still limited compared to the possibilities of RGB on screen (Red, Green, Black).

As for the resolution of 300dpi over 72dpi, this is basically saying you want 300 dots or pixels in a square inch. That's the industry standard or optimum print quality because screens usually have a lower resolution than print so what looks clear on screen may come out pixelated on print depending on the image resolution.

I don't know if I've done enough justice to it so here is a detailed write up if you're still interested:

Depends on how much time you're willing to dedicate to it really. A strong work ethic will have you understanding the basic concepts in about a week or two. 6 months should have you becoming a middle to pro user. Within a year of rigorous work, you should know the ins and outs of Ps
