Let’s face it, we’ve been through some of the dullest days of our entire existence. However, not all is lost. There is some good light at the end of the tunnel. Each of us has it in us to paint our world the way we want it to be. So if you would like brighter days then you can paint yourself brighter days. In line with this, I’ve decided to experiment with some tools I use in my role as Digital Marketing Consultant and share some tips on how you can easily transform your own images at home. Ready? Here we go!1. Removing background on Adobe PhotoshopFirst you’ll upload your image onto the editor. Then create a new layer in the right side “Layers” panel. Deselect “Layer 1,” and select the “Background” layer, with your photo as the icon image, under “Layers.” With that layer selected, you will now see the option “Remove Background” under the “Quick Actions” panel, click that. Now that you have a background free image you export it to a folder in PNG format and proceed to step 2.2. Add new background on CanvaThe backdrop swap can be easily done in Photoshop however Canva is more fun because it’s built with backgrounds and other graphics you can playaround with. So here, you’ll upload your PNG file into the editor via the “Create a design” tab, drop down menu and select “Edit Image”. The editor will require you to input a file size which will be visible on the uploaded image file displayed up top. After you select your desired resolution you will now have access to a design plate where you can add any element you want. You can either select some preloaded “Backgrounds” or look for an image of your choice and select it to go over the image file the you will right click and select “Replace Background”. Once happy with a background you can now export your file as a JPG file.3. Colour Grading on Adobe PhotoshopSometimes the foreground and background don’t blend as well as they should so this third step is optional. Here the work’s intention is to grade the image so that the colours don’t sell out your design, that is an image that was edited should still sell the idea that it was shot in this way. Upload the image onto your editor and work into Colour Grading tools, play around with different elements until you achieve a look that you’re satisfied with. Once this process is completed you will now export your file in JPG format.If you found this helpful, comment with your projects or other ways you can cheat the process so that we can put it in our big book of cheats. -- source link
