Photoshop Help - Photo Background

[Chav]

Hello People! :D

This is my first time posting on here so I hope I am in the right section.

I am looking for some advice on how I can change the background of my photo on photoshop. I know you can do this as I have seen this been done. Does anyone know any good photoshop sites that might be able to help me?

If you still cluess on what I am going on about then I will post the photo ( News Year Eve One, Scary Drunk! )

Cheers for your time guys

This is probably a bad way of doing it (quality and timewise) but it was the first that came to mind, and the easiest to explain

Use the lasoo tool
select your background colors that you want to manipulate
Feather the selection by a little bit (depending on picture resolution-- bigger res=more feather)
Go to the Image menu -> Adjustments -> Hue/Saturation
Play around, you might want to try turning colorize on/off to see different effects.

You could also use the extraction tool.
Just extract what is in the foreground, then clean it up - and paste it into the new background.

ok cheers for your help. I will look into both ways of doing this and see what best outcome I get.

Cheers :shock:
