How do you put a picture background for your youtube background?

How to Remove Background on a Picture to Layer It Unto Another Picture?

  • Hi,,,! I'm making a YouTube background, and I have the template to create one. I'm using PicMonkey, a photo editing website, currently. & I want to layer another photo onto the picture. Which I know how. But the question is, The photo I'm putting on the main photo, I'd like to know how to remove the extras of that photo. Like, say there's a Dog laying in the grass as the photo I'm layering over onto the picture, I want to have all the grass cut out and have just the Dog to put onto the other picture. How do you do that? I think PicMonkey doesn't have that software to do that, but do you know one that does, and could you teach me? I'd prefer the software/website to be free to use, I believe Photoshop has the abilities I need, but that's not free, & I do not want to use the free version nor hack it. Please and thank-you? :]

    I know exacly wah you're saying, it took me a while to figur it out. I use Paint.NET which is totally free. What you do it first use the "Laysol Select" tool, that gives you a free hand to select with. Then, all of the left over backdrop can be "Cut Out" by using the "Erase" tool. It can take a long time, depending on the backdrop. Once you save the edited photo, make sure you safe it on the format "PNG (*.png), otherwise the backdrop will not stay transperant, and the layer will not work. Hope this helps! P.S. Here is the link to a photo I did this layering effect with: http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/30600000/Safe-and-Sound-Eyes-Open-Covers-I-Made-taylor-swift-30660929-894-712.jpg (You'll have to surch for it in "Images")

First you use a tool to cut out the object you want to paste onto the You Tube background. Then you must go in and clean up the edges of the image. This is tedious, but there is not way around doing it. Once you have the image isolated and its background is gone you can layer it over the new background and save the file. I do not know the specifics of the editing program you are using, but they all work pretty much the same way.

don't think of it as removing the background from an image. Think of it more like removing the subjects from the image that you want to superimpose on another image. That should help you see things more clearly. Remove the dog separately, remove the subject (or group of subjects) separately, and then paste them onto the main image.
