The "free" in this case is a verb. The objects are freed from the background.

  Until your comment I didn't realise I'd also read it wrong (despite getting the gist of it). Attempted rephrase of the original sentence: Imagine history documentaries where they take an old photo, free objects from the background, and then move them round to give the illusion of parallax.

    I'd suggest a different verb like "detach" or "unlink".

      isolate from the background?
      • necovek 10mo ago
        Even better, agreed!

    > Imagine history documentaries where they take an old photo, free objects from the background Even using commas, if you leave the ambiguous “free” I suggest you prefix “objects” with “the” or “any”.

    Free objects in the background.

      No, free objects in the foreground, from the background.
