Many times, no matter how hard we try to get the perfect image, different elements can affect the final result and perhaps end up frustrating us. That is why editing in Photoshop opens up a world of possibilities for us to make montages and photographic adjustments that we did not conceive before. A background should not be a problem if you are looking for your perfect photo since here we will show you how to remove or change background in Photoshop CC 2021 OR CC 2020..
Our final result will depend on the time and interest that you show to the editing process since, the more effort, the result will come out much better.

1. Delete or change Photoshop CC 2021 and CC 2020 background with Selection
Step 1
The first thing will be to open our image within Photoshop
Step 2
Now, we go to the tools panel and click on the selection options to display them. Here we will see different options:
Surely the best known option is the "Magic Wand" but this time we will use the "Object Selection Tool" option as it is one of the latest developments..
Step 4
Now the cursor will turn into a selection rectangle.
Step 5
Now, so that you can select the image, you will have to click on one of the image's corners and drag the selection to the opposite corner, thus selecting the image completely.
We will see that the selection of the object is made differing from the background to be removed.
Step 6
Although we can modify this selection, there is another fast and precise option within the selection of objects to be able to make a selection quickly. This option is named “Select subject”. We will click on it and we will see a much more precise selection that will save us time.
Step 7
If at any time you need to remove or add any part of your selection, you can use one of the 3 selection tools and then switch between the modes of adding or removing selections to correct it.
Step 8
When we already have our selection, we can modify it by clicking on "Select and apply mask".
Step 9
From this window we can adjust our selection with different options such as smoothing. You can go see a preview of the result. To finish, click on "OK"
Step 10
When we have our selection finished, we right click on it and choose "Layer via cut".
Step 11
We can see that the new layer has been created with our selection in transparent mode and without a background. You can delete the original layer or hide it so it doesn't bother you.
Step 12
To export our image with no background or with a transparent background, we right click on the new final layer and choose "Quick export as PNG" or "Export as".
Step 13
With the option of "Export as" we can configure export options. Remember that you have to choose "PNG" format and activate "Transparency"
Step 14
Finish by clicking on "Export" and you will be able to see your final image without a background or with a transparent background
Step 15
If we want to change the background, we will open our New background in Photoshop.
Step 16
So that the difference in the montage is not noticeable, we are going to match the color of our image without a background with the New background. To do this we go to "Image - Adjustments - Match color".
Step 17
In "Origin" select the new background to take the color settings from there and click on "OK". You can modify any image option if you want
Step 18
Now we take the transparent layer to our new background and place it by dragging it.

Step 20
To save our image, click on "File - Export - Export as".
Step 21
We choose the image parameters and click on "Export".
Step 22

Choose an approximate fade of 2 and hit "OK"

Step 10
In the "Origin" option select the new background to take the color settings from there and click on "OK". If you want to modify any image option
