Wallpaper cleaner for hire Pikamitsu
Ok, what I basically do is take out characters that appear in normal pictures that aren't wallpapers and put them against plain white backgrounds in wallpaper size. So ya, anyone want anything cleaned?

Allright. That one actually took less time then I thought. Well, I gotta hit the sack, but keep those requests coming, and keep this thread bumped. I'll look at it in about 8 hours when I wake up.

I would do a better edit than #180539 but won't because the source image has already been shooped(look at outer outlines - badly extraced from original + lotsa JPEG artifacts).

No offense but next time use PNG with transparency.

Have this as a consolation prize ;P

Nice image, fucking ugly backdrop.

I've had to Nearest Neighbour resize because the original was 640x512, and not allowed. Just shrink it back for the original. If you could get her away from the background, that'd be awesome.

the only way i found to do an O.K. job extracting an image is to go zoom in extremely close and grab a 1 - 5 pixel wide eraser with hard edges so you are literally doing it pixel by pixel. It will take maybe 30 minutes or more to extract an image, but it's the only way you can do it with control.

There are plenty of techniques, but
There is only ONE good technique

In photoshop, you start a mask layer
This can also be done in paint shop pro
utilizing the PEN tool you create vector lines that follow the extracted area.
The background can be set any color once the mask for that layer is complete as it sets the rest transparent. This can also be adjusted and you do not loose the original image or any of th original quality.
>> ~Caine!
     File :-(, x)
the following technique applied to this image

It lost some quality on the resize, but you can see the lines are clean
>> ~Caine!
>>180912
looks like you had some bad resizing and some jags.
The background characters elbow area seems to be the worst.
I would really have to dissect the image to see more.
>> Anonymous
>>181032
there is a difference between quick 5hrs quality and QUALITY. i mean look at the damn edit how can you even say it's looks nice?!

>>180813
the girl's dress horrible, i can't even tell if he/she tried to clone stamp it properly or not. and of course the edges are jagged just about everywhere from extracting
>> ~Caine!
Well I tell you what,
critiques have a vale of ignorance about them
No matter how good you think you do, they know how to bring down the house.
This entire thread is full of tripfags and trolls.
I give the OP some kudo's for effort, and hope that he keeps it up. Everyone starts somewhere, and even if the populace of 4chan tripfags keeps increasing and trolls your threads they aren't doing their own work at all.
At least some of us HAVE photoshop.

the back is chopped out...
The image presented its problems...
First it was already extracted from another image, and two it was low res.
I used the applied process as mentioned before, and then viola, there it is.
It took only as long as it did between my last post and this one, so you can see its not difficult at all.
>> Anonymous
>>181034There is only ONE good technique

There is not one universal method for extracting that is superior to others in all cases. Masking is certainly an option, an option that fails in as many ways as any other method depending on the attention to detail applied by the person doing the work. This area of manipulation is done on a case by case basis.
>> ~Caine!
>>181053
oh really?
do desciminate your experience oh wise one...
As it is true that different techniques yield different results, there is only one good application of extracting a portion of an image from the whole. It is true that there are different ways, and any one would result in the same, but few offer as many options as masking, or its versatility, and none do it in its single fail swoop and usually need many, many, many steps to accomplish the same goal.

What would you do?

Hey, I sorta need help with that...I can make a mask layer and a vector layer. After that, I have no friggin clue what I'm doin. Could I get a little help?

I am sorry you are 100% correct please accept my apologies. I honestly have no idea why the makers of photoshop included 23 different tools for extraction and isolation when the first, last and only best tool for all jobs has and remains the pen.

well finally someone gets it...
in their own sarcasm, they get it.
Each tool has a relevant function and purpose, but Photoshop has made it extremely versitile with every tool.
Most of them redundant oversights, and each one carrying out the specific tasks differently.
Perhaps if I quote myself differently you will get it.
But I can't fix stupid, all I can do is offer helpful criticism rather than tripfag rants.
I will explain it like this,
In the world of tools, there are specific tools, custom tools, and universal tools.
Many tools are to specific to do a job simply and quickly, but can still achieve the same results.
Universal tools are set to operate among a wide spectrum of properties and achieve a global result.
I am trying to be helpful and courteous where everyone else is trying to prove they can piss out a fire.
Get helpful or get out of the thread.

applying the pen is a bet tricky
You first have to learn how to vector trace a line and use the features for applying the pen tool in the line itself.
A pen stroke has 3 relative components; Anchor, Arc, & pitch.
The anchor is where the line is placed, either at its beginning or end.
The arc is applied by dragging the anchor in a direction creating the vector component.
The pitch is set by the second ancor placed upon the second click, this gives the relative distance between and therefor the pitch of the arc.
Similar to throwing a ball from point to point.
The goal is to have it follow a specific path by eyeballing the area.
I usually work at 400% and set it with one ancor point for every peak (arc) and one for every valley (low arc) with parallel proportions to eachother.
>> ~Caine!
     File :-(, x)
Applying the pen comes in several points of manipulation from setting the anchor to adjusting the angle of the vector switching back and forth between the pen tool and the add anchor pen tool.
after the line has been adjusted one can move on to the next section of lines by picking up one of the anchors with the pen tool by clicking on it, and then setting another anchor.

Your information is biased, more so than religious teachers. You are wrong; you refuse to admit you are wrong. Which becomes mildly entertaining because stupid people are funny. Letting you know we know your making a fool of yourself is helpful, it is a friendly way of letting you be in on the joke you are the butt of.

Whoa, there. I said I could put 'em on plain backgrounds, not pull off some David Blane shit. That would require an insane amount of clone stamping skills that I just don't have. Now if you want her against a black background, that's a little bit more reasonable.

I would love to listen to any intelligent banter on your bahalf, but you have offered none. All you do is yell and nay-say.
Unfortunately if you have some useful advice other than "nuh-uh" and "no its not" then please give it.
