My girlfriend took a great black and white photo of my dog and we were trying to figure out how to make the background around him all black but we're are photo processing illiterate. Anyone have an interest in this stuff that could help?

Without seeing it i will be guessing but a selection of the dog and inverting then exposure adj on the back ground is the basic way.

If you want some one to have a go open a dropbox account and put the full size file on there, raw would be best if you have it.

If you just want advice post a image for us to see,there are different ways, the one i suggested is if you had photoshop elements if you have the full cc version then ACR would be the part to use.

The other good program is lightroom but i dont use it.

I'd recommend finding a good video tutorial - "good" means one matching your image processing program and your use case.

Here's one tutorial that might already help a bit, you can probably click through related videos if that's not a good match and find a better one pretty quickly:

The black would need blending into the carpet and my program will not do that.

This type of image is what I was thinking but it might be more complicated than I was expecting....

Haha, he is a good looking dog..Not for long though, as much as the lady spoils him he'll be fat in no time.
