How to Change the Background

Here is a pretty novice tutorial I just did explaining how to swap out a background in a photo.  Yes, I 'cheated' and used an easy to isolate image but any image is possible with the same technique - it just takes more fiddling if your background is busy and/or the same color of what you are trying to isolate.

Photoshop Tutorial How To Change Background

If you have a better way or suggestions for isolating the subject I'm happy to hear them.

We regret to inform you that we cannot accept your submission for addition to the iStockphoto library for the following reasons:
The execution of isolation contains stray areas that are either too feathered or rough.

Probably good enough for all other agencies, though.

Very nice presentation compared to dozens of Youtube attempts "How to Change the Background".

Of course, "precise finishing" would be fine :),  as rimglow wrote.

I like it! Thanks for posting.

Sometimes it's hard to find good tutorials on youtube if you ever try to find something specific.

Will be added to my favorites!

Yet another reason not to submit to IS. Very useful tutorial BTW, best I have seen on how to isolate.
