How to Put a Background Into a Photo
- 1). Open your photo editing software suite, such as Photoshop or Microsoft Digital Photo Editor.
- 2). Open a copy of the file of the photo you want to add a background to, then open the editing tool. Select the hand/mouse editor tool and "trace" or "cut out" the subject in the image. Save the photo with a different file name.
- 3). Open a copy of the background image you'd like to insert behind the subject image in the other picture. Open the "collage" feature, then open the edited subject image and "drop" it onto the background. Position it by dragging it with your mouse until it is in the right place.
- 4). Save the collage with a different file name. The subject image of the original photo will now have the background of your choosing.
