We present a technique for creating background-corrected HiPS (Hierarchical Progressive Surveys) from VPHAS+ images using the Montage toolkit. By combining advanced background correction methods and HiPS generation workflows, we produced high-quality color HiPS from the VST Photometric H-alpha Survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Bulge (VPHAS+). These HiPS have been made publicly available through the HiPS network and serve as an invaluable addition to the HiPS ecosystem for astronomers worldwide.
