Change your background color in Photoshop

Change your background color in Photoshop using a solid color.

Open an image

Cut your subject out of the background. There are several ways to do this but in this case i used the Magic Wand tool (W).  I inversed the selection and Select and Mask (under Select in the menu) to make the edges perfect.

With the selection active click on the mask icon. Now have we cut out the subject.

Now you can add a new Solid Color Adjustment Layer. Pick a color and you have a different background.

To change the color of the background,  double click on the layer and choose another color.
