Fade To Black

I recently read about an easy technique to extract a part of a photo that gives the subject with a black background. This works with photos saved to the camera roll on an iPhone or iPad.

1. Select the photo from the camera roll.
2. Press the part of the photo you want to extract. It will be encircled in white.
3. Press share
4. This will give the extracted photo in the camera roll.

The results are not always perfect. Sometimes I get an extraction with a white background that I put into Snapseed to get a black background.

This will work for photos of individual people and groups of people that have distracting backgrounds.

One just has to be careful of any perceived viewing aspect change.
For example, the dog with the black background appears to have legs hanging vertically.

The dog photo was a quick iPhone photo to demonstrate how this works. The results may be less than perfect. I can see this being used by average people taking photos of people that have distracting backgrounds.

You need to save the photo after you press share. This puts the edited photo into the camera roll.
