The Contact Sheet Tip of the Week

If you want to swap a white background for something more colorful, don't waste time creating a selection. Place the colorful background on top of the layers stack and change its blending mode to Darken. Magically, wherever the two layers intersect only the darkest areas remain. Use a layer mask to complete the swap if necessary.
