I just want the background in the attached image to be changed....that is.... everything except the rug should be removed from the pic and a nice background should be added...(Even if rug removed...not a problem...)

I tried doing myself but i wasnt comfortable...i am sure the for the Gurus out here it will be a walk in the park!!
So some one pls kindly help me....
Also doing anything to make my prizes look Better is more than welcomed.....
Pls use your talented skills a bit for me...
Make this picture look wonderful and aweinspiring.. :)

Thanks for Reading


Hoping to see something great

Have a nice day :)

I am school student with no job at all.... how am i supposed to pay??
Hope you understand!!
Yep, personaly i do.

So best way i think is use pen tool to select background. It'll just little slower but gives predictable and guaranteed result.
Here is one article - Photoshop Paths Explained but you can find more in net.

“Give a man a fish, and you’ll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you’ve fed him for a lifetime.”

If you maded path then you can turn that path to selection by CTRL+click on path in Path panel.
If you made path around rug then you'll need to go Select/Inverse/
Then give some feather by Select/Modify/Feather about 0,2-0,4.
Now you can made Layer/New Fill Layer/Solid Color and choose background color you want. Plain black would look good. Or use that selection for placing some image in background.

ok here you go the easy way for you
step 1 press q on your keyboard
step 2 select a paint brush paint in everything you want to keep so that all goes red be careful stay within the lines
step 3 once everything you want to keep is red press Q again
step 4 go to select > inverse
step 5 press control + c
step 6 press control + v
step 7 import a new picture you want the new background to be and place it directly below your copied layer.

Not being funny or anything but that is one ask to far for me.
As for feeding fish to men - buy a net.
