For the background colour you can also create a colour fill layer instead of using the paint bucket tool. This way to change the colour you can double click the coulour icon and set it to whatever you want!

That's awesome! I think my hands auto-programmed to the paint bucket key, but for sure will give your method a whirl sometime.

This has to be my most repeated video on your channel haha. I refer back to it again and again! :)

[@TheBiteShot]

Ha ha! Yes!!! So glad you find it helpful!

[@SpiceandLight]

OMG that is just genius!!! If only I saw this before I entered my photo into the Pink Lady photographer competition!! Thanks so much Joanie!

[@moniquetendencia]

Interesting approach! I personally sandwich my color layer in between the masked subject and the original photo, and apply a linear burn to the color layer. Looking forward to trying your technique and compare the results 😄

[@TheBiteShot]

ah, very cool! love to know all the many ways to do things!

Love this lighting. Was this with a scrim?

[@ukritchaiwattanakunkit2465]

Super Good!!!!

i've tried this before, it's way easier if the cutout shape is "clean", and the object has strong contrast color with the inital background. I've took a picture of ginseng once and tried to change the background color, after a whole day of manipulating the selection with all the "smart selection tool" i gave up.....

can this be done in lightroom ?

[@TheBiteShot]

There are some great color tools in Lightroom, for sure. Here's a tutorial that might help: th-cam.com/video/0lCPsiCxShU/w-d-xo.html
