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


If you are using PS punch in your question on Youtube. There will be instruction videos on how to do that.

I've attached a Youtube link of a video made by Howard Brown, a member of Chorley Photographic Society, a camera club that I belong to. Hope this helps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4STWQxDCGZw&t=624s

The On Line methods seem really cool. Have you tried them?

Actually sounds like ADHD. Maybe Ritalin?

I recently read about a PS add-in that does that automatically. Called remove.bg. See this article

Blenheim Orange. Your response did absolutely nothing to help her but show that you are a pompous.... you figure it out.

Given that Blenheim Orange at least showed a result of an effort, I can think of one example of an even more useless response from a more pompous.... you figure it out.

I'd try underexposing by 3 or 4 stops and then using manual flash to light the horse.

How so?

You did notice that I welcomed the new person to the forum, yes? You did notice that I included a "wink" smiley face to the post to indicate that it was meant in jest, yes? You did notice that I actually took the time to download the image and do as the OP requested, yes?
