Photoshop - background please anyone?!

charlievwp · Post by **charlievwp** » Sat Sep 29, 2007 11:35 am

Hi all,
Please could anyone help me with this one? My boyfriend has an Edition One G60 and i'm looking to get a background changed on either of these photo's so I can use it to get a poster made up as a present for him. I'm not too sure what sort of background i'm looking for to be honest but anything better than this 'council estate' looking one!!
Any help gratefully received! I have other photo's if you don't think either of these are v.good... Thank you!

ha ha, thanks. He loves it too

but don't worry, I know my place!

I have been trying to figure out photoshop myself but i've not used it before and i'm sure i'm doing everything the long-way round!
Managed to cut out the current background so far so just got to decide what to use as a new one and then work out how to put it in!!

I'm thinking; race track/forest/sunset/beach/lake backdrop...??

go on www.digimods.co.uk and then go on the photoshop bible. on there should be a guide on how to change a background. hope this helps but my photoshops crashed or i would have had a pop at it.

Ha ha thanks. I just looked for a background that I could put the photo straight onto without having to change anything 1st.
I found other backgrounds too but I would need to take stuff out - and I don't know how to replace what would have been there (if you know what I mean?!)
One background had a motorbike on it, and although I know how to delete him out, I haven't a clue how to replace the trees/track etc that would've been behind him.

What do you think to these 2?

Grafitti Backdrop

Black and White blurred background

Cooool!
Love the grafitti one especially! May well use that one.
Some clever work there...I knew I could rely on the photoshoppers on here to come up with something spesh.
Appreciate it - I know it takes a while...well it took me long enough to come up with my half-effort!

No worries

They didn't take too long really.

Ok, i'm gonna be a right-royal pain in the a** now...
I've seen a site that make up custom calenders for you and all I have to do is send 12 photo's in and they print it for you, so i'm scrapping the poster idea and going with that!
I'm hoping to spruce up some of the photo's of his car and maybe get seasonal backgrounds put on - maybe snow/leaves/christmas/summer etc.
Can anyone help me with this? I definitely want to use the graffiti one for one of the months that nowt really happens on too though. So got 11 others to come up with GULP! any help would be soooo appreciated!
Here are some more pics to broaden the options!
