This is the Part 2 (the easy way)
of How To Change Image Background Using Paint.NET,
Click the link to find out more about Paint.NET
if you haven't heard of it before you continuing or
visit the
Paint.NET page.
I recommend you install this
Plug-ins as well, just as i said in my
previous article (part
1)
As you have Paint.NET and the Plug-ins installed on your computer, it's time to get to our business..
Hopefully, You have both the original image and the
background image you'll be replacing the background of
the original image with in place...right?
As for me, I have resized the background image to the
same size as the original image to suit my need.
1. Open the background image with Paint.NET (That's
the background you want to replace the original image
background with)
2. Go to Layers>>>>Import
From File and browse for the original image
(The image you want the background to be replaced with
the opened background) and open it.
When you open the image, It will cover the already
opened background!
3. You can use either the Line, Lasso or even the Magic Wand tool to draw line around the edges of the image and then, press CTRL+I to Invert The Selection and then press Delete. But i will be using only the Eraser tool on this one, not Line, lasso, Magic Wand tool. The Magic wand is easier in removing the background though, but might be difficult with some image.
So, as you have added a new layer with the original
image...
Click on the Eraser tool and start erasing the
background to bring up the new on behind it, Increase or
decrease the width of the eraser to suit your need.
Zoom the image as much as you can see the edges clearly
to erase the remaining unwanted background, do you best
in erasing out all the unwanted background.
4.Use the Feather Effect to smooth the edges of your image....Now you are good to go!
5. Now, Flatten and save your image.
Voila!
I captured this image with my digital camera in South Korea...
