CatherineL Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I am really hoping I can somehow replace this horrid background with something fall-like. I am happy to pay someone to do it for me as I am not sure if I can do it myself. Is it even possible? And where would I even find a suitable background? I have a handful of shots with this background. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever shot some lovely Fall scenery in other years? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineL Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Ummm, I don't think so. I'll look. I mean I have, but they had people in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Just overlay, then mask. Exactly as I taught you in class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineL Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Thank you! The client preferred the original background for the first photo in this post. I didn't show her the one I that had the super blurred background. I used one similar to this last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
