To remove a solid green background from images, the document outlines using Photoshop's Color Range option to select only the green, applying a mask to make the background transparent, and cropping the image to match the aspect ratio of the cover without distortion.

1. Editing my Images

2. To remove the solid green background on my images, I brought the image into
Photoshop. I then used the Colour Range option under the select menu to create a
selection around only the green.

3. I then applied a mask to the green selection, this made the background around me
transparent.

4. Next, I cropped the image down to the same ratio as my front cover so that it effectively
fills the cover without any distortion of the image.
