Photography Digital Background help?
Hi, I am getting some pics taken tomorrow and some the next day. Both times, I will be getting probably 10-20 pics, but will only pic out about 4 total (2 formal shots, 2 casual shots). I will need to edit/retouch and add a background to two pics (1 each) . I need to know if there is a GOOD program I can use (FOR FREE OR ALMOST FREE) that will let me edit/retouch my photos and place backgrounds in as well. I will use two programs if needed. I just need to find something free (or almost free) to do this with. I’m not familiar with retouching photos yet or adding in backgrounds, so I need something I can figure out easily and FAST! Does anyone know of a site or program where I can edit my photos and add in backgrounds easily and fast? ( I will need to be able to edit and and the backgrounds between tomorrow, thursday and Friday, as I have to have the pictures ready by Friday!!) I appreciate any help. Thanks so much!
I found a blog that lists 22 Free Photo Editing Programs… http://photographicbackdrop.blogspot.com/2011/03/22-free-photo-editing-programs.html This might be helpful for you!!
Also, for the not-so-free photo editing programs, I would highly recommend Adobe Photoshop. I think their website offers a 30 day trial for any of their products. It might be ideal for you to try Adobe Elements which is similar to Photoshop but ideal for amateurs. http://www.adobe.com/downloads/
As for not knowing how to retouch photos and remove the backgrounds, the best place to go to for tutorials is YouTube.com. Whether you decide to get a free photo editing program or if you decide to use a trial version of Adobe Photoshop or Elements, keep in mind that you can still search on YouTube for tutorials to all programs.
Another easy program that only requires a few clicks for you to remove and replace the background in photos is the Green Screen Wizard software: http://www.greenscreenwizard.com/ However, your photo would require to be originally taken on a green screen backdrop which is not the case for you in this instance?
Good luck!!!!
