How do you take a picture of figures and put a background behind them? Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, any help is appreciated. Here's a picture of an example of what I mean: Attachment Deleted |

Usually you can find a render/png image that the background is transparent, or you could crop it out yourself. Then you simply find a background and paste the cropped/render image onto it. It may seem difficult to a new editor, but once you get the hang of a program like Photoshop you'll be set.

Do you have an image of the figure cut out or on a white background? If not then you'll need to cut it out in Photoshop first before applying it to the background.

Once you start though... you won't want to stop!
Once I learned how to do stuff like this, I was doing it to everything!
I am in rehab as we speak...

 Choose the Magnetic Lasso from the Toolbar on the side  Choose a starting point on the image you want to cut out. I usually go for the bottom corner then move the cursor around the image and back to the start. It will create points along the path so if you've made a mistake you can just click Backspace to go back a point.  Once you've finished cutting, there will be lines around the image like shown above. Right click it and choose Layer Via Copy. |

Thanks for the tutorial but what if that picture already had a background and all I wanted was to cut out the Laurinitis part.
