How To Darken Background In Photoshop !
0In this video, we walk you through how to darken a background in Photoshop, a useful technique for enhancing your images and making the subject stand out. By following these steps, you can easily adjust the background's brightness without affecting other parts of the image.
To begin, open your image in Photoshop. Start by selecting the background. For this, you can use the "Object Selection Tool," which is located in the toolbar. Hover over the area you want to select, and Photoshop will automatically highlight it in vibrant pink. Once the desired area is highlighted, click to create the selection. Alternatively, you can use other selection tools, such as the "Quick Selection Tool" or "Pen Tool," depending on your preference and the complexity of the image.
Next, navigate to the top menu and select "Image" "Adjustments" "Levels." This will open the Levels adjustment panel. Here, you can darken the background by moving the middle tonal slider to the right. To add a touch of brightness back to specific areas, move the rightmost slider slightly to the left. Experiment with these sliders to achieve the best results for your image, as each photo may require different settings.
Finally, press "Ctrl + D" (Windows) or "Command + D" (Mac) to deselect the background and remove the selection outline. You’ll now see the final result, with the background darkened and your subject standing out more prominently.
This method provides a quick and effective way to enhance your images, creating a professional and polished look.
