Hello can some one explain to me step by step how i change the following on the photo included? First of all i dont want to change anyhting about the woman in the orange sweater and the man in the blue shirt. But i would like to make the background blurry and put a white colour layer on top of the blurry background. Who can help me? Thanks in advance! Michael

Thank you Dan for you answer. But i managed to keep the background and get rid of the shadow thanks to Smadell's answer

It worked! Thanks a lot for your video. I exported the file

I tried it but it didnt work for me. I must have done something wrong. I see what i did wrong. I used step al over the adjusted place instead of around the borders. If you increase your flow and your hardness you will get more paint out of your brush? And less opacity is less coverage?

Thanks! How do you invert the curves layer? And how do i paint it white? And how can i do step 3? The result you have is amazing!

Hello, how would you remove the shadows behind these two persons? Paste, then color replacement and finally inpaint? Or only inpaint? or something else? thanks in advance Michael

thanks i will try this at home and let you know if i managed it. Got any suggestions for the shadows around these persons? I am thinking about inpainting or do you suggest something else?

This is the photo and i would like to remove the shadow on the left side.

Hello i need help with this problem: i have a picture with a painted white brick wall. So you see all of the bricks. There is a shadow i want to remove from the wall. How do i do this? I have tried the clone brush but then i get a wall with the bricks not in place anymore. Thanks Michael
