    Can anyone help

    Hi all,

    I really like this shot but the background spoils it for me, can anyone with better skills than me remove the background and just leave the Bird, is that possible with PS??

    Here you go Paul

    Two minute job - open image and duplicate the layer and with the quick selection tool, select the bird, making sure not to go over the edges. Inverse the selection and then from "edit", "fill" and in the pop up box, change "contents to "colour" following which the colour sampler will appear. Sample a blue from the background, fairly close to the bird, click OK, then OK in the fill box. Finally add a layer mask to tidy up round the edges of the bird.

    If I had the full size image it would look better and also remember its now been uploaded direct so some quality is lost

        Thanks Stan, good of you, I really must learn this stuff instead of sticking to LR
