"How to Edit Old Photos to Match the Same Background, Just Like from a Photo Studio 20 Years Ago♡"

I Want to Use a Childhood Photo＊

Using old childhood photos as props for pre-wedding shoots or displaying them at the welcome area on the day of the wedding is a classic idea for weddings.

It seems that many people use photos from Shichi-Go-San (a traditional Japanese celebration for children)♩

If you use the same background, it will look like you took them at the same photo studio together♡

It's lovely to cut out the subjects from childhood Shichi-Go-San photos and composite them with backgrounds of the same color♡

It feels like you took them together at the same photo studio over 20 years ago...!

You can create a cute, nostalgic photo with a sense of unity, reminiscent of childhood friends♡

It's recommended to use these as reception signs♡

Here’s how to change the photo background.

① Scan the paper photo and convert it to digital data

First, scan the paper photo to convert it to digital data.

For digitizing, I recommend using the app "PhotoScan".

➡(iOS) Install PhotoScan

➡(Android) Install PhotoScan

② Cutting Out the Subject

Next, it’s time to make the background transparent, which means cutting out just the subject. (This might be the most important step!)

The app I used is "Composite Photo Studio".

Use the cropping function to erase unnecessary parts like the background.

Once the subject is nicely cut out, save it＊

(There are various background removal apps, so feel free to use your favorite.)

➡(iOS) Install Composite Studio

➡(Android) Install Composite Studio

③ Composite with a Desired Background

Now, composite the saved cut-out photo with your favorite background.

I used "Picsart". I searched for a free background that I liked.

④ Add Text and Finish♡

Finally, add text with Phonto♡

If you do this series of steps for both the bride and groom, you'll end up with matching background photos as a set♡
