Time to heat things up with a background that’s the epitome of #travelgram. If you like, AirBrush can take you on a stroll through Japanese cherry blossoms or a walk in the woods. But after those long winter months, the beach is calling our name!
- Go to the Tools tab
- Choose the Background tool
- Select the Beach Background
Hit all the Right Spots

The Background tool is designed to automatically replace the negative space in your photo, however it’s not always 100% accurate. You may need to rely on the Select Area tool to clean things up a bit.
- Tap the “pointing finger” in the bottom left corner
- Use Select in the center of the menu bar to manually select the area to cut out in the new background
- For greater accuracy, adjust the Brush size and pinch the screen to zoom in as much as required
