Adobe Photoshop CS6 Photo Background Transfer

Adobe Photoshop CS6 Photo Background Transfer

In Adobe photoshop CS6, we learned many photoshop techniques. This is an image that I created by adding a person to another background and using an adjustment mask. Here's how I did it.

1. I created a new file in Adobe Photoshop CS6, and opened up a background image.

2. I opened up another image-the image that I was going to transfer over onto the background image (pikachu).

3. I clicked on the image that I was going to transfer over onto the background image (pikachu), and I dragged it onto the background image file.

4.I deleted the lock on the background layer, and I zoomed into the image on top of the background image (pikachu).

5. I then clicked on the quick selection tool, and selected the areas of the image on top of the background (pikachu) that I wanted to keep.

6. After selecting the areas that I wanted to keep with the quick selection tool, I then opened up the refine edge window, and changed the view mode to on layers, changed edge detection to radius at 4.6, and changed output to new layer with layer mask.

7.I then used the refine edge tool and cleaned up a bit around my subject (pikachu) and erased some leftover white marks from the original background that pikachu was in.

8.Afterwards, I went to the adjustment layers and I chose brightness/contrast adjustment layer. I increased the brightness and lowered the contrast. I went to mask in the brightness/contrast tab, and increased the feather (lightness) and lowered the density. 

9.The last step was saving the image.

I was supposed to use a person for this image, but that didn't work out too well (Steve Carrell was too small in comparison to the background). I hope you enjoyed this image and try playing around with different Adobe photoshop CS6 techniques, maybe you'll learn something totally brand new! Hope you have a happy day!
