How to: adjsut background & subject seperatey

[K-E]

Hey,

i feel this is a really simple fix, but being new and short on time to Photoshop elements, im needing some guidance. i have some pictures that i need to adjust the lighting and exposer etc. on both the background and the subject. Doing the adjustments to the whole picture isnt getting the result i was looking for. Needing a few straightforward prompts please 🙂

Try using the one-click quick action “make subject pop” Adobe separates the subject and background automatically, then applies masking. It’s possible to tweak the adjustments to your own liking.

Take a look at my YouTube Video for a walkthrough.
