Background Ai Editing with Photoshop BETA
Howto & Style
Introduction
Removing the original background from your photos has never been easier, thanks to Adobe Photoshop's latest BETA features. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to utilize these tools effectively.
Step 1: Remove the Background
To start, locate the "Remove Background" button. If you cannot see the button, click on the workspace window, ensuring that the contextual task bar displays a checkmark next to the "Remove Background" option. Once clicked, this button will automatically eliminate the background from your photo, yielding impressive results.
Step 2: Generate a New Background
After removing the original background, you will notice changes in the task bar, revealing two new options: "Generate Background" and "Import Background". If these buttons are visible, ensure that you have selected the mask layer in the layer panel; this will enable the buttons on the task bar.
To create a new background, click the "Generate Background" button and type your prompt in the provided space. Within seconds, Photoshop will generate background options that you can explore. If the result doesn’t meet your expectations, feel free to adjust your prompt or generate more options until you find one that clicks.
Step 3: Rearranging Your Subject
In my experience, I found that repositioning the subject within the photo can enhance the overall composition, making it more balanced and visually appealing. If the "Generate Background" button disappears from the task bar after adjusting the subject's position, simply select the mask layer on the layer panel again to have the button reappear.
Step 4: Importing a Custom Background
If you wish to import a background you have previously created, you'll need to adjust the positioning to complement your subject. Start by selecting the background layer, then navigate to the filter menu and select "Neural Filters." From there, choose the "Harmonization" filter and select the layer containing your original photo. This process is largely automatic but may require some tweaks using the provided sliders to ensure the new background matches the original image in color.
In the output field, select "New Layer" and click "OK".
Step 5: Final Adjustments
To further enhance the realism of your edited photo, apply a blur effect to the new background. Navigate to the filter menu, select "Blur," and then choose "Gaussian Blur". There is no one-size-fits-all level of blur, so adjust the slider until you achieve the perfect effect for your photo.
By following these steps, you can successfully create a new, harmonious background for your photos using the AI capabilities of Photoshop.
