Your Green Screen Editing Just Got Easier!<\/h3>\n

Ever wanted to remove the background from an image for free without a tablet or a paid App? You can! I’m going to share two ways you can easily do green screen editing regardless of the device you have!<\/p>\n

This post will cover 2 different ways to make transparent backgrounds, one for Mac\/iPad\/iPhone users<\/strong> and one for online photo editing with Chromebooks<\/strong> or other non-iOS devices!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For Mac\/iPad\/iPhone Users:<\/h2>\n

There is a feature called Instant Alpha that is available in both Pages and Keynote. That’s the magical (free!) tool that will allow you to take your green screen editing to the next level! Pages and Keynote are two different Apple programs that are available as built-in Apps on both Mac computers and iOS devices (iPad and iPhone), this green screen editing tip will work in both.<\/p>\n

\"Instant<\/p>\n

Follow these 5 simple steps to get started with Instant Alpha:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Open Pages or Keynote App\u00a0(included as built-in App) or download them from the iTunes App Store<\/a>\u00a0if you don’t have them.<\/li>\n
  2. Start a new document. Import an image with a solid background colour, make sure it’s selected (click on it).<\/li>\n
  3. Click on the “Image” tab on the right side of the screen, then “Instant Alpha” button.<\/li>\n
  4. Put your cursor on the background colour you want to remove, hold and slide your cursor to select the percentage you want to be taken out. Anything that turns purple will become transparent when you let go. Do this until the entire background colour is gone.<\/li>\n
  5. Click “Done” at the bottom and voil\u00e0, your background is now transparent!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
