I"ve spent several days (reading/watching Utubes) trying to figure out how to make the background on this artwork transparent <sigh> I have a friend that usually does this for me (in another program) but, I really need to learn how to be self sufficent. Any help would sincerely be appreciated. Thank you!
The question Susie is do you want rectangle tin tin or do you want to cut out and blend the fluffy hair? This a sloppy 30 second job but can be done correctly if that's what you're looking for.
Why is this post under Corel Font Manager 2017? Too easy. Edit in Photopaint, use magic wand toll to select white, hit select same. Duplicate image in the layer manager, delete orig, hit delete key, close and save. Need to adjust just open in PP again and use the eraser tool to tweak edges.
Here 'tis...it was part of a community challenge. So not my image. I did attempt to download the trial of Akvis, twice. I have a 50 meg speed and it was downloading at 13k...so I cancelled it both times. But I was curious.
I thought so the thing that the applications do for advertising is use backgrounds that are conducive to making it easy. I have some real life images we can play with. Akvis has a learning curve and it's more of a curve if the images are more challenging. But the more difficult the image the faster it is over regular software.
It wasn't for advertising. Just a forum challenge by another forum member. Here's another one for recoloring...again, not a "manufacturer" challenge, just another user as a community endeavor. They are a nice diversion sometimes.
The forum I participated in at the time did a lot of these. Many members joined in. Not so much these days.
I know it wasn't advertising I was simply mentioning that the success of these programs are directly related to the level of difficulty of the original image. Unfortunately the applications always show the results from an easy image in their advertising.
I'm playing around with several that have difficult back grounds to isolate. The key is that Akvis has the ability to select various colors before you erase the back ground and replace them afterwards. The interface is basically in two levels one a novice user and one advanced, Then novice is like Corel cut out done right, the other more complicated but more advanced with the end game.
These little diversions are how I up my game many times.
This is one that I find interesting to train with because the background and the foreground are so similar. I have no idea where they bought the images but the photographers have an interesting eye.
