Without taking any more time let’s jump into the tutorial section.

Let me show you how you can change background from this picture. The first thing you need to do is make selection the object that you want to separate.

I am going to select the kids with quick selection tool.

Pick this tool from here and start making selection.

After choosing the area properly, some hair and edges are still available. To fix this we need to go to refine edges option.

Click on this option from the top. Then a new dialogue box will be opened like this:

Here you will be able to find the option in which way you are willing to view the object. I feel comfortable to refine the edges on layer.

Make the brush size little smaller and then make outline around the object to fix the edges.

Then set the right value of these options. Increase the radius value just a little bit. Don’t increase it too much. Then increase the value of the smooth a little bit and put a tick on the decontaminate Colors. Then increase the amount of it.

After set the right value of everything press OK. Then the edges will be fixed and it will look in proper outline.

Then press “V” and the trimmed object will be movable.

Then click the right button on this object and then drag it onto the background that you want to replace. But it will not be in perfect shape.

To make it perfect press CTRL+T for enable free transform option. Then resize the element according to the object type.

Now it’s looking pretty good. Now to make it a little bit more natural let change its hue and saturation a little bit.

Click on the hue and saturation and set the hue and saturation in the right way.

Now things are looking pretty natural.

So, this was the way of how can you change the background of a photo. From now on it should be an easy task for you.

Thanks for reading.
