Cropping request.
I'm looking for someone who is talented at cropping images with a clean edge. I would like to have this image cut out from the background and the pink glow removed as well.
If credits matter to anyone I can give you some I guess. The end goal is to hopefully look better than my attempt here. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/58437091/4chanTheme3.jpg Last edited by Izzy; 05-16-2012 at 04:09 AM.. |

Re: Cropping request.
Hmm...gave it a try, but I'm not getting any good results, that glow is just irritating as **** to remove. Various combinations of the magic wand, quick select, and color range select tools haven't gotten me far, the only way I can think of getting a image with clean edges is by going in and editing the edges manually pixel by pixel, but I don't have the patience to do that right now. :/

Re: Cropping request.
you did the headphone wires a lot more nicely than me. xD The image still looks really iffy on a black background though :/

Re: Cropping request.
I took ca25nada's image and erased the extra pink around the border then put black behind it. (And the pink wasn't much; you have to look at it at 200% to really see it. There was a section between the headphones and the hair that wasn't cut out though.) So ca25nada can keep the credit.
Here's one with and without the shadow. Because the glow is almost 100% red, that makes it much easier to get rid of. I increased the red a bit with Levels first. Now in the red channel, the glow is already gone. I Ctrl+Clicked on the channel to select the white, inverted the selection, and filled that in with black on a layer under ca25nada's render. |

Re: Cropping request.
Very nice quality job guys. Thanks for the help. I really need to read up on some tutorials on how to do this right. Went with silvuh's second image after comparing them all on black backgrounds.

Re: Cropping request.
I was gonna jump on this but you guys took care of it well! Nice. That last one is flawless Silvuh.
I always find that a good quick selection and using the "mask edge" and "refine edge" tools REALLY get a good starting point, and then its a matter of manually going at the leftover pixels. Unless you want to play with channels and select by colour range. EDIT: yes, that was good thinking Silvuh I'm colourblind so that's certainly a disadvantage, not knowing what channel levels to increase :l

Re: Cropping request.
Here's the finished product after I finished recoloring it to match my theme. I think it looks a lot better than it did originally.
