Aperture ...Edit to achieve a blank or coloured background

[Pumpa]

Hi: I've recently done a shoot featuring a headshot of my wife for an upcoming book cover ; some are in front of a blank wall...others were shot intentionally in a room aiming for a Boka type effect.
She has since decided that a plain background would be better after all....is there a one button fix for this in Aperture, I wonder...or do I have to do a lot of brushing?

Frankly, I'd just reshoot. Otherwise, google 'portrait background app'

Change background to white using Aperture

I am a newbie to Digital photography. How can I change the background of a picture to white? I have a couple of profile pictures taken in the woods and I need to change the background to plain white to make it more professional. I have iPhoto and Aperture 3.

From a quick glance through, aperture was an old and not particularly sophisticated package in terms of 'one button effects', so I think that yes, you will have a lot of brush-work ahead. You could download a free trial of On1 Photoraw which has tools to make background selection a bit easier and more precise. If you like the program they presently have 'black Friday' offers.

Many thanks for the suggestions guys .
I hadn't realised there was an Aperture 3 either....;something else to look into !!

Sadly Aperture has long been abandoned by Apple.

Yes, Aperture has been 'dead' for several years.
