In a lot of pictures you take, the background can seem to get in the way. If you are someone who enjoys photography and has learned the ins and outs of camera aperture, you know how to tone-down the background by reducing the camera depth-of-field (which is done by opening the aperture). But if you happen not to be a geek photographer, there’s another way you can de-emphasize the backgound, and in many cases, do it more effectively than your camera ever could.
In this quick video tutorial, we show you how to use Photoshop Elements to down-play your photo’s background, and bring your subject to the forefront, capturing the full attention of your audience.

John;I did one of Jack, but i enversed it to make Jack stand out more and of course with saturation and hue, excellent results of course.The other one i liked was customizing a back ground photo, that really made you stop and think of what you were doing, i think that was the best one you have presented. Great work John.
Hi Harold…
Glad the video was helpful… and that you took the liberty to take what I said a bit farther and enhance the hue/saturation of the foreground subject (Jack in this case). I think that’s a great, added idea.
BTW… as we speak I’m working on putting together some “webinar classes” that might interest you. In the next couple days you’ll get an email with more information about that.
Hope things are going well with you!!!
