• Adjust the background size if necessary by cropping or resizing it to fit your desired aspect ratio.

3. Add Your Photo

• Select your photo and import it into PicsArt.
• If you only want part of your photo, crop it accordingly.
• Use PicsArt’s “Remove Background” tool to cut out the subject (you) from the image.

4. Incorporate Text and Graphics

• Go to the “Text” tool and type “2024 to 2025” or any custom New Year message.
• Choose an elegant font style that matches the festive theme. PicsArt offers a wide variety of fonts for free.
• Experiment with text colors, shadows, and outlines to make it pop.
• Add stickers, sparkles, or fireworks graphics from PicsArt’s library to enhance the celebratory vibe.

5. Fine-Tune the Image in PicsArt

• Use the “Effects” tool to apply filters that blend your photo with the background.
• Adjust the brightness, contrast, and saturation to harmonize the elements.
• Experiment with “Blur” effects to give your background a professional touch while keeping the subject sharp.

6. Export and Save

Once satisfied with your edits, export the final image by tapping on “Save.” You’re now ready to share your creation on social media!

Advanced Editing with Lightroom

To add an extra layer of polish to your photo, consider using Lightroom. Here’s how:

1. Light Tuning:

   • Adjust the highlights and shadows for a balanced look.
2. Color Grading:
   • Reduce orange saturation to avoid overexposing skin tones.
   • Increase brightness and sharpness to make the face stand out.
   • Fine-tune other colors to match the mood of your background.
