1 Put White Background to a Photoshop Photo with Selection
2 Put White Background to a Photoshop Photo with Remove Background

The background is one of the parts that we can find in our photographs and that we must also take into account when composing our images. Many times we take photographs without taking into account what is behind our subject, sometimes finding backgrounds that we must hide so as not to ruin the image, even backgrounds with a lot of visual power. If what you want is for your subject to have total prominence in the image, we will try to play with the depth of field so that the background appears more blurred and has less presence..

 

But on many occasions we don't like the background that our photography has directly and we want to change it directly for another. This time we will have the Photoshop tool to be able to play with our backgrounds in the photographs and even eliminate them if we don't want to. Once we have removed the current background from our photograph, we will be able to modify it for another, even making a transparent background that can be used on other platforms and applications. If you are looking for a personalized edition with tasks such as changing the background of the photo, we will show you today the example of putting the white background in Photoshop or another color that you prefer.

step 6

We can also improve the selection with the "Refine edge" tool

 

Then we will adjust the size of the brush and we will go over the area that we want to improve, such as the edges of the image..

step 7

Once we have the selection created we are going to send it to a new layer

 

To do this, we will indicate that a layer with a layer mask is created from "Send to" and click on "OK".

step 8

We already have our image without background. By having it with a layer mask we will be in non-destructive mode since only the non-removed background will be hidden.

step 9

Now we will go to "New Fill Layer" and create a "Uniform Color" layer with the color we want.

step 10

We choose a color that in this case is white and we place it below our image.

Here we can let the background be white or double click on the adjustment layer and select another color.
