Tutorial 1: Cut & Change Background of a photo

In this tutorial I'll tell you how to cut a photo and how to change background of a photo. if you learn that how to cut a photo then it will be very easy for you to step forward to next techniques.
Here we go Step by step.

Lets Start:

Actually we are going to make this photo...

Step 1:

First Open a photo in Photoshop. select zoom tool from toolbar( or click "Z"). Then right click on photo and click on "Fit on Screen". As shown in figure. This will be your background Image.

Step 2:

Now open a new photo which you want to cut. or the background of which photo you wanna change.there will be a "Lasso Tool" in toolbar, just right click on that and select "Magnetic Lasso Tool". this will be your cutter.

Step 3:

Now click on the edge from where you want to start cutting the photo. then just drag the mouse with the photo. the Lasso Tool will automatically go through the color or photo border. It will also automatically create the Anchor Points(Dots). if any Dot goes wrong. just Click the "BackSpace" button. the point or Dot will be removed. now cover all the photo piece and reach back to the beginning point and click there.

Step 4:

Now select the "Cursor" from toolbar. This will show the "Bounding Box". Now your photo is fully cropped.

 

Step 5:

Now click on that cropped image and drag it to the next photo, opened in other tab. You can also do this thing using Ctrl+C, (or Right Click, Copy)  and then after opening background image Ctrl+V (paste there).

Step 6:

Now the photo is over the background Image like this. and this will appear as Layer in right side. Remember one thing, all the effects will be applied on the selected layer only. to do anything with a layer you have to select that layer.

Step 7:

Now Open another photo, like I opened that Eagle wallpaper. Now crop this by same method as before and copy or drag it to the background photo.

Step 8:

Here is an extra thing.If your image is at right or left side then you can flip its side by using the operation given in the below image.

Step 9:

Now align the images as you wish. But remember, all the effects will be applied on the selected layer only. to do anything with a layer you have to select that layer.

Step 10:

Here is your final Image. you can "SAVE AS" it as JPEG image from "File" menu.

 

Good Luck.
