Selection to change Background


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I have taken 3 photos but only attached the first one. How can I select the Dandelion so I can add or change the background to black. I was unable to do with we the camera as the background wasn't dark enough. 

Thanks for your help

Hi again. I have had a go with the selection tool and refine. Is there a way to remove the green in the attached photo?

Try the Sponge Brush set like this and then just paint over the 'puffs'.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Hi AHARRIS22,
an other suggestion.
Roughly select the flower with the lasso,
Create an HSL setting level,
Select the green color with the picker,
and take  out the saturation.

Cheers
