You are supposed to trace the outline of the subjects with the green brush tool. If you trace the outline wrong, you can draw it again. After selecting the red brush tool, you must use it to draw a red line on the background that you want to remove. The yellow boundary line will appear over the subjects with the green outline. You can change the smoothness of the yellow boundary by clicking on the scales of 1 – 3.

Clicking the Revert Changes button will revert your photo to the original version. You must not forget to click on the Save as button to save the photo with the new background in a suitable image format.
