Step 17:
We need a selection around our subject
layer again, so Command-click (PC: Ctrl-
click) on your subject layer's thumbnail to
load it as a selection. Once the selection
is in place (as seen here), add a new blank
layer by clicking on the Create a New
Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers
panel. Now, look at your image and ask
yourself, “Which color really stands out
to me in this background?” Here, I see
purple, brown (on the floor), and gray (in
some parts of the ceiling), but the color
that's really jumping out to me is green.
So, get the Eyedropper tool
(I)
from the
Toolbox and click it once on an area of
green in the photo to make that exact
green your Foreground color (as shown
here, where I'm clicking near the ceiling).
Step 18:
Now, fill the selection (on your empty
layer) with this green color by pressing
Option-Delete (PC: Alt-Backspace)
.
Then, deselect by pressing
Command-D
(PC: Ctrl-D)
.
