Fade an Image to Any Color Background with Photoshop
Learn step-by-step how to fade an image to black, white or any color background with Photoshop. Perfect for adding space for text or for blending an image with a larger design. We start by creating a new document and placing an image into it. Then we choose an initial color for the background, and fade the image into the color using a layer mask. Finally, I show you how to change the background to any color you like, including how to choose a color directly from the image itself.
