# Background Replacement

Swap the environment behind your participants with custom digital images. When enabled as a participant editing tool, background replacement allows guests to switch their background after capture if they change their mind.

***

#### How it Works

1. **Enable Pre-Capture**: Background replacement must first be enabled as a [pre-capture effect](/copy-of-halo-app/experience-designer/pre-capture/background-replacement.md) before it can be used as an edit tool. Multiple backgrounds must be saved to your preset. 
2. **Initial Selection**: If you have multiple backgrounds available, guests are prompted to select their favorite before the countdown begins. 
3. **Capture**: The photo is taken and the initial background choice is applied.
4. **Post-Capture Swap**: If a guest changes their mind after seeing the result, they can use the edit tool to swap in a different background instantly —  no need to retake the photo.

***

#### Configuration Settings

* **Toggle Enable:** Use the switch to turn the background replacement tool on or off. 
* **Available Backgrounds**: All backgrounds saved to your [pre-capture settings](/copy-of-halo-app/experience-designer/pre-capture/background-replacement.md) will be available for participants to select.
