I have some pictures that I am trying to cut out and place on a black background - too much rubbish surrounding the focus.
I would like to select the subject and add a black layer behind the subject. I can do everything part from I have a thought process failure despite some successes! I have no idea how I did it. I can do the selective copy, just cannot work out how I added the layer behind in black. I can add further layers but making them black is the issue.
So I am trying to go from this:
To this:
I understand that most of this could have been done in camera rather than the messing about - but I have no idea how to do the yet either!
Any thought on the post processing issue gratefully received. It wouldn't be quite so bad if I hadn't done it once!
