How To Create Fantastic Illustration With Movavi Photo Editor

Creating a photo montage involves combining two or more photos together to form a piece of artwork. To create a photo montage, you need a software that can cut out objects in different photos.

There is basic photo editing software that can do this such as Movavi Photo Editor. Movavi Photo Editor offers a wide range of tools for customizing your photos for use in creating the photo montage. The following are the four steps on how to use Movavi Photo Editor to create a photo montage.

1. Open All the Pictures that You Want to Use in the Work Area

If you want to create a photo montage illustration, the first step that you should take is to upload your photos to the work area. Opening image files in Movavi Photo Editor can be easily done by simply dragging the pictures or folder into the gray empty space.

2. Cut Out Items from Your Pictures with Background Removal Tool

Next, you need to look for the background removal tab and click on it. This will bring you to the background removal tool and you are to select the green brush tool to mark the main subject. You can use the red brush tool to mark the background that you want to delete after you have made a selection on the main subject with the green brush tool. The red brush tool is not only used for marking an unwanted background. In fact, anything that is marked in red with the red brush tool can be removed.

After that, you must click on the Set New Background button to cut out the unwanted elements. In just a few seconds, all the unwanted elements are being deleted and this leaves the area to transform into a transparent background. You must now save the photo in a transparent background in formats like png, and GIF. Saving the photo with the transparent background in other formats like JPG can result in a white background which will render it not suitable for creating a photo montage illustration. You can repeat the same steps for all the photos that you want to derive some objects from them for use in making the photo montage.

3. Arranging Your Photos to Create a Photo Montage Masterpiece
