  • Who wants to support me with removing the background from only 1 photo

    Hello everybody,

    I’m making a movie by using Adobe After Effects. The reason why I am making this video is because I want to have a reminder of somebody and also a special sportsevent;

    I was a participant of an event called Alpe d’HuZes. This is a Dutch event for collecting money for Cancer at the Alpe d’Huez in France.
    Participants of this event could walk/ run or cycle to the top of the Alpe d’Huez.
    I did this multiple times at the day of the event, not for myself, but for my grandmother. She died of Cancer…

    She must appear multiple times in my movie. But I have a problem, actually 2 problems because I do not have/use Adobe Photoshop. I have got 2 photo’s of her. But they are both with a background I do not want to see. 1 Photo shall be impossible because you can’t see the separation of her black hair and the black/ dark background.
    But the other photo shall not be a big problem (I think) beacuse the background is light grey. You’ll see this color also between her hair. You can also see the top of a seat I do not want to see and her shade at her right side of her hair.

    Is there somebody who wants to remove this background for me/ make transparent this background?

    I’ve attached the photo without her face.

    The white solid at her face must become transparent also. Then I can use 2 layers in After Effects. 1 With the transparent background as a mask in front of a trimmed original photo.

    The reason why I do not attached a picture with her face is personal.

    Thank you

    Sander

    Ha Sander,
    Oude versies van Photoshop zijn gratis, en doen het prima.
    Je kunt ook GIMP overwegen, open source, en doet het ook prima!

    Groet,

    Bouke
