In this Photoshop tutorial, we’ll show you how to replace the background image on a photo. You can use any image as your background, but we recommend using an image that is similar in color and size to the original photo. You can also use a photo that has been edited in some way, such as by adding text or graphics.
How to Change Background Images Using Photoshop
To replace a background image in Adobe Photoshop CC, first import both the original image and your new background image. Then, select and mask your subject, subtract the background, and overlay the subject on the new background. Finally, you can add finishing touches such as color to match the two images.
Creating an effective image for a story can be difficult, especially if the subject is unclear or there are several subjects involved. ..
To change the background of an image, follow these steps:
- Open the image in a photo editor or another program that allows you to make changes to the file’s metadata.
- Find the “Background” section of the file’s properties and change the value of “Background Image” to a new image.
- Save the file and close any open programs. ..
Step 1: Import the New Background Image
To import a new background image, open your image editor and select the “Background” tab. In this tab, you’ll find a list of images that can be used as your new background. The first thing to do is choose the image that best fits your subject’s perspective.
In our example, a lady is looking into the distance and her upper body is not visible. Choosing an image with too much of a foreground would not match it, so we’ve chosen a distant landscape with a similar perspective as the new background.
Step 2: Select and Mask the Subject
There are several ways to create a selection. If you have a clear subject, Adobe Photoshop’s automatic subject selection tool is the easiest to use. However, you can use a combination of the Quick Selection tool, the Magic Wand tool, and the lasso tool to select your subject, too.
Select Your Subject
Refine the Selection
After carefully reviewing all of the images in this collection, I have narrowed my selection to six. I want to create a photo collage that features five of the images and one that is left out. To do this, I will need to remove the image from the collage and add it back into the collection.

Step 3: Match the Perspective
To make the image look more realistic, you can use the ruler tool to mark where the horizon is in the original photo, and line the new background up so that it’s in more or less the same position.
Step 4: Content-Aware Fill
To create a content-aware background, you can use the Content Aware Fill tool. If your background does not have transparent pixels, you can skip this step.
To fill the transparent area, I will need to use a transparency tool.
Step 4: Match Depth of Field
To get the desired depth of field, you need to understand how cameras work and which parts of the image should be in focus. In our example, the woman in the foreground is in focus, meaning everything in the distance will be out of focus. The further away, the more out of focus it will be. ..
To create a blurred background, we’ll introduce blur to the background image. ..
Step 5: Match the Lighting
When choosing a background for your photo, be sure to take into account the light source. If the light is coming from the left or right, it will be difficult to adjust the background to match. However, if the light is coming from above or below, you can adjust the background accordingly. ..
To create a realistic and believable lighting effect in your photos, you can adjust the light by introducing shadows and lighting.
