Default Help :| Photoshopping Resume Photo Background

Hi!

You all are literally magicians with photoshop, and I am in desperate need of help, if anyone is bored.

I am aware that this could go all sorts of interesting ways. But, I need help trying to photoshop a background into a photo of myself for my resume.

Ideally, the background should be either of water or blue sky, as I am applying for jobs on superyachts. Or, some sort of greenery. The background doesn't have to be clear, it can be blurry (like portrait mode on an iphone...can you tell I'm not a photographer?!).

It was snowing on the day I had to take a photo for an agency, and the snow in the background of photos in Calgary does not scream 'yacht' resume photo. So my kitchen wall it was. I have been really sick the last few days, and at home by myself, so I haven't been able to even try and take a photo outside.

If you also have the skills to be able to somehow edit my sister's ring light circle out of my eyes so they don't look so photoshopped (they are not, the ring light really made my blue eyes pop, but also make me look slightly crazy), that would be a cherry on top

It can be a circular photo (probably easiest) or square, or whatever magic you can work!

Thank you in advance =)

I think if you download the Photoleap app you can use the AI in it to replace the background.

I kept getting ads for AI that would take your pic, change backgrounds and poses for linkedin display pics. But I think a lot of apps have that as a tool feature as well.

Stuff like this:

Don't mute the effect of the ring light entirely, or you will get that sort of synthetic, void look in center of the eye. The eyes are reflective, and the effect of completely removing the ring light is stark. Just a darken of it will suffice.

I've been trying to find an AI app that changes the background to something that actually looks real....I downloaded this one based off your suggestion....wow! It can do some amazing things. Great suggestion!

Bit quick and dirty (and low res because if Imgur), but something like this?


If you have a higher resolution image to work with, that would be ideal.
