Change the background color of photos to make Chen Cang do whatever he wants
Adjusting the background color of one-inch photos is also a problem that many friends often encounter. Because the background color does not meet the requirements, they have to go to the photo studio to take pictures again. Today we will teach you how to use Photoshop to quickly adjust the background color of a one-inch photo.
The essential operation of adjusting the background color of a photo is to cut out the image. The cutout operation is undoubtedly painful for many friends, because it requires both care and patience. In fact, cutting out pictures is not the same. Especially in one-inch photos with a relatively single background color, the cutting out operation is relatively simple.
Open the photo with Photoshop, press the "W" key on the keyboard to bring up the "Magic Wand" tool, set the appropriate tolerance (the specific value depends on the actual situation of the photo), then click on the background color part of the photo to obtain a background color selection. We will find that there are still some places in the background color that have not been selected (as shown in Figure 5). Don't worry, we will continue to improve it next.

Press "Z" on the keyboard to call up the "Magnifying Glass" tool to enlarge the details of the selection, then press "L" on the keyboard to call up the "Lasso" tool, and press "Shift" on the keyboard to add a selection to the areas that were not selected during the selection process. If there are multiple selections in some places, press "Alt" on the keyboard to reduce the selections. Thus, the final satisfactory selection is obtained (as shown in Figure 6).

After completion, right-click on the layer, select "Save Selection" in the pop-up menu, name it as you like, save it and press "Ctrl+D" on the keyboard to cancel the selection.
Next, create a new blank layer, press the "D" key on the keyboard to restore the colors of the foreground and background to black and white, and then press "Ctrl+Delete" on the keyboard to fill the new layer with white. Then press "L" on the keyboard, right-click on the layer, select "Load Selection" in the pop-up menu, load the just saved selection, and create a mask for the white layer. At this point, you can replace the background color with white (as shown in Figure 7).

At this time, we can see that there are still some "burrs" on the edges of the character. It doesn't matter. Click to activate the white layer mask, then press the keyboard shortcut "B" to call the "Brush" tool, and press the keyboard "X" to adjust the brush. The color is white, and smear the burrs on the edge of the photo (here you can press the "Z" key on the keyboard to partially enlarge the photo, and at the same time press "[" or "]" on the keyboard to adjust the brush size, and press "Shift+[" or " Shift+]" adjust the edge of the brush) to achieve a more satisfactory final effect (as shown in Figure 8). It can be seen that the details of the characters are basically not affected, and the background color transition is also very natural.

Tips: Operating in the mask can avoid failure of the operation and destroying the original image, and you can modify the smeared part at will in the blank layer. In addition, this article takes replacing the background color with white as an example. If you want to replace it with another color, just replace the fill color of the blank layer with the corresponding color.
At this point, we have added collared clothes to the characters in the photo and replaced the background color of the photo. You can compare the effects of Figure 1, Figure 5 and Figure 7 to see if they are natural and meet the final requirements. Requirements? If you also have such needs, you may wish to follow the methods explained in this article to create a one-inch photo that meets the requirements. Relatively speaking, it is more convenient and simple to use Photoshop to modify one-inch photos. I hope you can stay patient and try a few more times. You will definitely produce photos that meet the requirements and save the province's "money". Haha. .
