Default Photoshop Elements 6 question...how to do

Does anyone know if there is a way to make your entire background a different color. I shot a picture on black velvet but there is all kinds of fuzzy lint on it. Is there a way to replace the background with a different color or even make it black?

Thank you.
Sandi

Use the Magic Wand Tool to cut the beads out of the background and place onto a fresh background. Or you can select the beads using the tool, invert the selection and fill the background with color of choice.

Do a search on google for 'remove background photoshop' and you will find a lot of step by step tutorials. You may not find one exactly for Elements but the steps are basically the same.

Thank you Michey. I did look in the "help" of photoshop but it was of no help. I do a google search also.

You may be able to use the clone or healing stamp and take the lint out.
