On Paint Shop Pro X, how do I remove (color over) a part of the background. Thank you.?

Question

Also, how do I change the color of the background?

Answer 1

Is this Photoshop? If it is, or there are the same tools as photoshop:
1) Select the area you want to color over. You can do this by either using the Magic Wand tool and clicking on the area (this works well if it's a solid color, but not so well if there's a lot of texture), or with the Lasso tool (I like the magnetic lasso because it goes right on the lines for you). The lasso tool is good for when you are going for an area around one central thing and trying to cover up the whole background, like if there's a person in the middle and you want to make them standing against a solid background. You'll have to then click on "select inverse" to make it the background rather than the image you're keeping that you paint over. To make several different selections at once (on a mac, i'm not sure if it's the same on a PC) you hold down the control key and then use the tool in another area (I think a menu pops up and you choose 'add to selection').
2) You can then use either the paintbucket tool or the paintbrush tool and color over the selected background area without messing up the rest of your work. If you're trying to get rid of the background completely so that you only have the central image with nothing around it, use the eraser tool over the selected area.

Good luck!

I am not familiar with the version but it cannot be too different from cs2. you can use the eraser tool and change the color (using the color indicator or the eye dropper icon that shows up when you open up the color pallete) or another option is to use the clone tool and fill over the area based on the color near it. as for the background if it is a separate layer still click on the layer and highlight it with the dashied lines and then use the paint bucket tool always build with layers (shift + control + n) for a new layer it makes changing things easier

Answer 3

You can try the background eraser, or the clone stamp.
To use the clone stamp, just go to the side toolbar and select the paintbrush's menu (the arrow next to it). Then, click on "clone stamp". Right click the area you want that part of the background you want it to look like, and then left click on the area you want to cover.
Hope I helped! =)
