How To Change Backgrounds in Snapseed | SNAPSEED TUTORIAL | Android | iOS
Today we are gonna manipulate this image and create a silhouette look using the free Snapseed app.
image as the background.
- So I need to match the colors and brightness of this sky image to the foreground here in the original.
- So using Curves, I am gonna just lower the top right point down and darken the overall image.
- Also adding some yellowish tint by dragging the blue curve towards right.
- I am gonna save this.
- Reverting to the original state.
- To separate the foreground from the background, first step is to convert the image to black and white.
- Here in the color options, choosing the color which gives most contrast between the foreground
- and the background.
- Blue is the best option here as all the bluish colors in the image becomes white mainly the
- sky here and the remaining dark.
- Now I need to make the grayish colors to completely black and white.
- So again with Curves dragging the lower part to the right and downwards to move the darker
- parts more towards black.
- Similarly the upper part of the curve to make the brighter parts completely white.
- Need to play with this till you get the desired results especially around the edges between
- the foreground and the background.
- To turn those white spots in the foreground to black, using the Curves, turning the whole
- image to black by dragging the top point towards bottom.
- Now going to the masking screen.
- With the effect disabled and brush value set at 100,
- brushing on the white spots to turn them to black.
- Need to zoom in especially around the edges to be more precise.
- On the subjects too.
- Now I am gonna add the last saved image using Double Exposure and choose the Add option.
- After applying this, saving this as a separate copy and deleting the last Double Exposure effect.
- With the black foreground here, I am gonna use Curves to invert the image and make the
- foreground white and the background black.
- Will save this and remove this effect.
- Coming back to the state where the foreground is black, I am gonna add the sky image now
- using Double Exposure and choose Darken option.
- Scaling the image and placing it at a desired position.
- Applying it.
- Now I am gonna use Curves to alter the colors of the sky a bit.
- First adding some brightness and yellowish tint...
- ...and then more brightness and yellows.
- With masking, applying just around the subjects.
- As the subjects here are black, the effect doesn't affect the subjects.
- Now using Double Exposure, I am gonna add the earlier saved image of white foreground
- and black background.
- Choosing the Add option which makes the foreground completely white.
- Now adding one more image saved earlier of the foreground intact image but with white background.
- Choosing the Subtract option and applying it.
- Now you can see the almost finished image.
- I am gonna add one more edit especially on the foreground with a Selective filter.
- Just adding little more brightness and contrast.
- Removing this effect in the sky using masking.
- So here are the changes after each effect applied.
- And the final result.
