Can some kind person change the background to Black on these photos. Would be very much appreciated. We were on a cruise and two of our other children had portraits taken with Black backgrounds. would like to have all five couples with same background. Thanks Ron

The first 2 are a little tough, the color threw the hair.
Here's my shot at it
hope they download half decent

Hope I didn't mess the hair up too bad

After seeing the downloads I think I failed miserably, here's a quick retake

Thanks for the chance for some practice

OGB, what technique are you using? I added a new layer, filled it with black, then added a mask to poke through to the original. How did you do it on your end?

I used smart photo editor in the composite mode and added the black underlay, then erased the existing background.
I have a way to go to get a real consistent knack at it>

I used Smart Photo Editor Chuck, that one is the only one that I have tried using layers with, with any kind of success.
