Removing the background from a picture can be one of the most challenging problems to solve in Photoshop. Whether you need to remove unwanted objects, remove the background, change the background color, or make the background transparent, we’ll show you all of the tools and tricks you’ll need to succeed!
In this tutorial, we start off by showing you how to use powerful tools like the Pen Tool, Select and Mask, and more.

This tutorial was awesome, exactly what I was looking for. Had problems with making good selection, but now I know all the secrets. Great :)))))) So Happy :)))
Very good course I learned a lot of things that I didn’t know. I’m going to try and rewatch this video.
It’s official… Aaron is ‘the best thing since sliced bread’ when it comes to Photoshop tutorials.
Just this tutorial alone was worth the subscription – PHLEARN IS THE BEST!!! Keep it up Aaron!!!!
This was a great class! I already have a good deal of experience with changing and removing backgrounds, but I still learned a ton. Thanks so much!
Fantastic, clear, concise and easy to follow instructions. Really are a great teacher! One thing though – where have you hidden the fur brush? I can’t find it!
This tutorial provides good in depth examples and practial exercies to get you more familiar with removing backgrounds. Aaron clearly explains the range of tools and techniques available along with example scenarios for their use. Highly recommended to all levels of Photoshop users.
Another super tutorial! The step -by-step approach, coupled with tool review and tips, teaches not only how to remove a background, but also how to use Photoshop more effectively and efficiently. I don’t consider myself highly proficient in Ps, but every tutorial gives me more confidence and a better understanding of program. This particular tutorial was challenging, but working each section through several times was well worth the effort. As an older learner (76!), the repetition and reminders are particularly helpful. Great teaching style! Thanks, Aaron!
If you’re looking for a single tutorial on this topic, this is the one! Excellent presentation of concepts followed up with step-by-step examples. A great companion to other tutorials such as “Photoshop Compositing: Masking and Cutting Out Subjects”.
Im gonna hold out for “how to change and remove Foregrounds” 🙂
A very helpful step by step approach to isolate subjects properly and non-destructively and then to put them onto new backgrounds with all the adaptation needed to merge them seamlessly. Especially the structured approach to address all the issues on light levels, saturation, colour matching and then re-colouring at the end were eye-openers for me on why I struggled with projects in the first place. I saw a number of tutorials on this on YT, but to get a real understanding on how to tackle this end-to-end, this is the first! Should be a game changer for my matte painting activities as well.
You’re not charging enough for your Pro tutorials! The “How to Change & Remove Backgrounds in Photoshop” is terrific. The format of reviewing the various tools and then using them on photographs of increasing complexity really helps cement the information. The best parts are when you inadvertently go down a blind alley (e.g., grouping the layers only to discover an issue with one of the blending modes), and then point out an alternative approach. Users of Photoshop run into this all the time, and it helps to see we’re not alone, and that there’s usually a solution. I also like the attention to detail. When an image looks good for 99.9% of the people viewing it, you’ll still find minor issues and fix them. This is instruction at a much different level. You’ve already told everyone how to use the tools, now you’re driving home the idea that if you’re going to spend time on something…do it right! Thanks for doing these tutorials. -robert.
