Remove Background from Photo - Novice

Options
Hi
I've taken a gorgeous photo today but the background isn't very nice. If I order copies of the print am I able to remove the background (and is it easy).
Thanks

    Do you mean, are you able to remove the background, or are you asking if it is a service that a print company may offer?

    If it's the latter, I've no idea. Some companies might offer it.

    If it's the former, you'll need a graphics editor and little know how. If the subject can be easily defined from the background it shouldn't be too difficult to mask it off. I'm sure if you were to upload and link the image here someone will have a go.
