Ancient Aliens guy photoshop help

I have this plan for the next HTM School on Grid Cells that involves using this graphic:

Can anyone help me photoshop out the man in the image and fill in the background somehow? My photoshop skillz are a bit underdeveloped, and I imagine there is some talented person in our community who might do this in a few minutes?

You can do it yourself in a few minutes: [https://autoclipping.com].

I donā€™t want to remove the background, I want to remove the man and fill in the background.

Saved as ā€˜transparent pngā€™. You can copy the cutout png over any background (photo) you like. Probably any picture editor will do.

Getting consistent scene lightning is a whole different matterā€¦


(Edit: saw some imperfections in the big one)

Heā€™s actually after the opposite (background, not the guy). Procedure is something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8_ge9RxcSw

Iā€™ll give it a shot, though this is a lot of space to fill so canā€™t promise anythingā€¦

BTW, @CPegels you can get a lot cleaner cut of the man with a little bit of care. I posted a video about this some time back for my mother-in-law who runs a sweets shop and doesnā€™t have any graphics skills: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmqIEJ8MP7c
In particular, from: https://youtu.be/bmqIEJ8MP7c?t=3121

Out of curiosity - instead of messing with that image can you look elsewhere to get what you are looking for?
I like to play with google image search to find an image that meets some sort of requirements.
Describe a scene and see what it comes up with.
I love good AI inspired tech when it works.

My guess is he is planning to some special effects involving dubbing himself into this background to talk about hexagonsā€¦

WOW! I donā€™t think anyone could ask for better than that. It looks great!

Now iā€™m curious to see the end result!

Thanks Paul I can use that.

LOL,

The reading skills are a little rusty. I could have never pulled this off, didnā€™t even know this was possible at all, great work!

Now you can copy the guy back in if you feel the need.

No human could have done that - more proof of ancient alien technology!

Hi Matt, Iā€™m sure you have heard of Deepfakes. In case, you like to take a video and lay your face over the person in the video.

Even the New York Times has an article of how you do it:

Will HTM let NN take up the whole ā€œfameā€ in this area? Coughā€¦ :wink:

These memes are too dank for this reality. Looking forward to what devious concoctions youā€™re planning with this Matt.

Hey - now if only you still had the long hair from the Humanity talk ā€¦

A little hair gel, a bit of fluffing it up ā€¦
