The first step is to creat new document by pressing ctrl or CMD + N you can also go to file andit new to ensure that your result will look like minemake the width and height 1200 pixels each and its resolution 150 the colormode is RGB and 8 bits per channel the background color is irrelevant sincewe're going to fill it with a radial gradient click the lock icon to unlock thebackground and double-click it to open its layer style window click gradientoverlay and the gradient bar click the black white thumbnail in the lower leftstop click the color box and pick a soft color that works with your subject youcan always change it later if you want since.
I already know the color I'll typeit into the hexadecimal field Oh 6c 0 e8 for its location type in 20% click thelower right stop which is white and for its location type in 60% the blend mode is normal and the opacityis 100% check reverse and make the style radio and the scale is 150% open the photo we'll place it onto the background wejust created if your move tool isn't active press V on your keyboard drag thephoto onto the tab of your background without releasing your mouse or pen dragit down and release to resize and reposition it open your transform toolby pressing ctrl or command + T if you can't see the transform tools entirebounding box press ctrl or command + 0 go to a corner if you're using a versionearlier than CC 2019 press and hold out or option + shift as you drag it in orout to zoom in press ctrl or command + 0next we'll separate the subject from its background by making a selection aroundthe subject there are many ways to do this but for this example I'll use thequick selection tool if you're using this tool as well makesits radius anywhere between 5 and 10 pixels drag the tool over the inside ofyour subject to select it to remove areas of the selection press and holdalt or option as you drag over those areas you to refine the selections edges go toselect if you're using a version earlier than CC 2015 point 5 click refine edge you drag the radius a bit to the right checksmart radius this detects smooth and hard edges to adjust the size of your brush makesure the caps lock key is often pressed the right or left bracket key on yourkeyboard check decontaminate colors whichprevents color fringing along the edges drag the amount all the way to the rightoutput it to a new layer with layer mask I'll fit the document onto my visiblecanvas then click OK.
