The post below offers a step by step guide to remove background of your product images with a help of a photo editing program.
Step 1
Download & install
The first step is to download & install the photo editing program in your computer. You will get installation instructions and the entire process would take just a couple of minutes. It will be better to go for a reputed editor program that offers free trial.
Step 2
Add image
After you install the program, go to the program window. You will need to add your images to the program now. So, look for something like “Browse for images” and click on it. The tab will enable you to choose the desired images from your system folder and bring them to the program window.
Step 3
Crop out image background
Before you cut out the background, you will have to select the portion that you wish to remove.
So, look for a tab like “Change Background” on your photo editor program window. It will give you tools that will enable you to select the backdrop that you wish to cut out from your product image. You will get a tab called “Foreground Brush”. Use it to select the portion to be removed. You will also get another tool called “Background Brush”. You will use it to mark photo background. The name of the tools may vary from one program to another. But remember you will have two brush tools for the two functions mentioned above.
Then, look for a tool called “Selection Eraser”. As the name says, it will enable you to clean out selection marks from your product image. You will find some kind of marquee selection around the portion or object that has been selected. After you finish fixing the photo borders, you will move on to the next step. Look for the “Next Step” tab and click on it.
Now, you will smoothen down the photo borders for a polished look. You will get two tools here- “Foreground Mask” and “Background Mask”. The first one will help you to polish the edges of your photograph from where you have cropped out the unwanted backdrop. The second one will enable you to mark out areas which you need to trim out. A good photo editor will also allow you to refine the finer details of your photograph here.
After that, again click on “Next Step” tab.
Step 4
Add replacement background
We are almost at the last step of our background change process. After you cut out the previous backdrop, you will have to replace it with a new suitable one. Make sure to decide on the replacement background beforehand to save time later. In case, you don’t have a suitable background in your folder, you can check out the photo editor library for options.
After the unwanted background has been cropped off, the picture will appear on a blank backdrop. Look for a tab called “Add Image”. It will enable you to add a suitable image for the product photo. If you want to use an image from your collection, look for the “Upload” tab. Click on it to access your photo folder and bring the desired one on the program window.
Another good tip will be to leave the photo background transparent if that suits your product. Otherwise, you can paint up the backdrop in a solid color for a powerful effect. After you are done with replacement, look for the “Apply” tab and click on it.
Step 5
Save your image
When everything is fixed, it’s time to save the image. Look for the “Save” tab and click on it. Your photo will be saved automatically in the photo editor library. If you want to change the format of your picture, you can do that at this stage.
