New Photoshop Tool A
n update to Photoshop was just released -- the 21.1.2 version. There is a new background-replacing function I thought you would be interested in learning about. This applies only to images where the background is clean and easily distinguishable from the subject. This doesn’t involve any of the selection tools. The photo at right of a bald eagle and the portrait at the top of the next page are examples. Notice the software was able to perfectly separate the black dress from the black background in the shot of the model. The first step is to open two images: the

subject and the new background. Copy the image of the subject to the clipboard with Select > all, then Edit > copy.
