To change the background of a photo in Paint 3D, you'll primarily use the "Magic Select" tool to remove the existing background, then paste your desired new background. Here's a breakdown:
- Open your image in Paint 3D: Start by opening the photo you want to edit within the Paint 3D application.
- Use Magic Select: At the top of the screen, find and click the "Magic Select" tool. This tool allows you to easily select the foreground of your image, effectively isolating it from the background.
- Adjust the Selection: After the initial selection, Paint 3D provides options to add or remove areas from the selection to refine the foreground object's boundaries. Make sure only the part of the image you want to keep (i.e., not the background) is selected.
- Remove the Background: Once you're satisfied with the selection, you can either cut (Ctrl+X) or delete the background. This will leave you with the selected foreground object with a transparent background.
- Insert/Paste the New Background: You have a few options here:
- Paste an Image: Copy the image you want as the new background (Ctrl+C) and then paste it into Paint 3D (Ctrl+V). You may need to resize and reposition the background image to fit correctly.
- Use a Solid Color: Fill the background with a solid color using the "Fill" tool.
- Position the Foreground: Reposition and resize the foreground object as needed to blend seamlessly with the new background.
Keep in mind that the quality of the background removal depends on the clarity and contrast between the foreground object and the original background. For complex images, it may require careful refinement of the Magic Select selection.
