To change the background of a photo using the Windows Photos app, follow these steps:
1. Make sure you have the latest version of Windows 10 or 11 by checking for updates in Settings > Windows Update.
2. Update the Photos app by opening the Microsoft Store app, clicking on the Library icon, selecting Get updates, and then clicking Update all.
3. Launch the Photos app from the Start menu or All Apps screen, and open the photo you want to edit. Click on the “Edit image” button and then the Background icon.
4. Choose from three options – Blur, Remove, or Replace. Adjust the blur intensity by moving the slider.
5. If needed, manually adjust the mask using the Background brush tool to refine the background removal.
6. Use the Undo icon to reverse your last action, or click Reset to undo all changes. You can also reset the background edits you’ve made.
7. To remove the entire background, click on the Remove icon. The background will be cleared.
8. If the AI removes parts incorrectly, use the Background brush tool to manually adjust the mask for a more accurate removal.
9. When done, turn off the “Background brush tool” switch to see the final result.
10. To replace the background with a single color, click on the Replace button and select the desired color using the slider. To select the shade you want to apply, simply move the cursor on the square. If the AI doesn’t replace parts of the background correctly or misses parts of the foreground, you can manually adjust the mask. Click on the Remove icon and enable the “Background brush tool” to paint areas that need to be replaced in the background or foreground. Once you’re satisfied with the changes, click on the Replace icon again and disable the “Background brush tool” to view the difference. Finally, save your edited photo by clicking on the “Save Options” button and selecting either “Save as Copy” or “Save” to overwrite the original. You can also choose “Copy to Clipboard” to paste the edited photo elsewhere. Please rephrase
