Black background replacement
May 13, 2019 13:09:14 #
Hey! I’m having one of those days where I feel like everything I do is terrible. I just am not even able to focus on completing my tasks without frustration. I am attempting to learn to swap out a messy background for a black background on a horse. Does anyone have any tips on how to do this without wasting a whole day fighting it? I have given up every time I try to learn and it’s becoming a problem in my relationship with photography. Lol

The last time I saw a black background on a horse he carved a "Z" in my shorts and rode off into the night. I believe they called him Zorro. I realize this is not particularly helpful, but hopefully I got a chuckle out of you. Help from more knowledgeable hoggers is just around the corner. Have a good one!

That's pretty "Foxy" of you - {look up the translation for fox in Spanish)

One question. Do you like the horse? If so, do it manually, as I just did in about 10 minutes. If not, sell the horse and take photos of something else.
