Nice Backgrounds

[macky799]

Was wondering how everyone gets the nice plain white or black backgrounds i see in so many pics

I know it might be a bit cheeky because ive looked at my photo comp entry and it sucks big time so was going to try a new one the way i wanted it to turn out

sorry mate i could not resist....
white b/g's are sooooooooo boring

oh i soooooo need to see that..


i take it from your comp pic that the back wall was white...:shrug:

and if it was i also take it. that nice grey card you have is gathering dust:nono:

you need to blow the b/g mate "overexpose" it
or in ps use the magic wand tool select all the white then in levels select the white eye dropper and click it on the white...

or something similar
