I have this image: [URL].......
I would like to remove the background from that. I read few tutorials but they have one color(shades of color) background and quite good contrast. They make hair white and bg. black. But in my image some hair are black and some white and they overlap each other. I found great plugin to Photoshop named Topaz Remask 3, but I haven´t PS.
Extracting or replacing the background in this photo. I'm having a hard time because of the stray hairs. The background must be a solid white color.

View 13 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a form with a watermark image in Publisher 2013 and the text I want to overlay on the watermark is cut from an image I screenshot, so it has a white background, making overlaying a watermark impossible. There are boxes and bubbles and other items that I really do not want to re-create so that's why I am trying to do this first, before re-creating the entire forms from scratch.
Anyway, what I want to do is A. remove all of the white from the background (even in the spaces between the e's an B's and everything; yes I know it is insane, but I like things to be perfect) and B. I would like to darken the text. Currently is is almost gray-ish and I want it to be black.
I have chosen to use the eraser with fuzzy edge to remove the background from a dog subject. I created an Alpha channel and made a copy of the original image as suggested in the tute. When I begin to erase it works for a few stroke then stops erasing. By trial and error I found that If I select back and forth between the original and the copy it will erase a little on each but this seems to be an irregular way of doing the job and this is not what the tutorials show. What I erase shows up on both the original and the copy, that is they compound the erasing. Should this occur? Why can't I complete the erasing on just one image. While it does achieve the removal of the background I feel I am doing something wrong.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow to crop a photo to remove the background? Or do I need to go through several of the general tutorials before I can follow a tutorial on cropping?
I found a bunch of cropping tutorials on YouTube, but they used a lot of advanced (to me) terms and seemed focused on difficult situations.
I have 30-40 photos that are of wooden figures cut on a band saw. They do not have highly irregular edges like hair or fuzz.
I am hoping for a tool that can automatically follow the outline and then let me make any minor adjustments that may be needed.
I'm looking for a technique for removing the background from an image similar to the way noise canceling headphones work.
Prior to shooting the portrait, we took a picture of the background and then, without moving the camera, took the portrait so that we were left with two images, one with and one without the subject.
Noise canceling headphones cancel sound by emitting a sound wave that is the exact opposite of the sounds they pick up from the outside. I'm wondering if there is some technique that could be used to make all pixels in the background a specific color (by mixing with its "opposite") to then improve the functionality of the fuzzy select or select by color tools.
I have a basic image and I just want to remove the background and be LEFT just with the image (i.e. No white background).
I have opened the image with Gimp and on this image I was able to "add alpha channel" which I believe needs to be done. Do I need to do anything after I add the Alpha channel?
This is what I did next:
The image is 100% and background 1.1mb. Select Fuzzy tool and position cursor over the background and click. The image and the image background have the moving dashes going around them.
Next I hit the delete key and the background goes checkered. Still there are the moving dashes around the image and the background outer square. Next I hit autocrop and I am left with a reduced checkered background around the image.
My question - what do I do from here. I just want the image with no background what so ever; also is there anything I need to do with saving too.
Previously I have saved this and when I go to use the image it appears to be much the same as the original with a white background.
I rebuilt my line on white background from Rich2005 and Ofnuts. My latest version is darker, smoother higher res and wider (see attached).
The problem now are stray pixels, many of them unattached to the line itself. I spent a lot of time with an eraser, but still haven't gotten them all. THERE MUST BE A BETTER WAY!
I found this excellent link on the subject. [URL] RobA even has a script to do what I want. However, I don't think it is GIMP 2.8 compatible, as I can't seem to find it to run it.
After removing an image from a background, what is the proper procedure ( in order) to "save" the image to "file", for later use?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are trying to make a little art project with my daughter for her school, so my wife went and took pics of each of the kids in her class making a "heart shape" with their hands. I have the backgrounds that will go behind them all complete, so I just need to extract the hands. Well, I thought I was being smart by purchasing a green piece of fabric to put behind them, but this has almost caused more of a hassle. In the original hand picture, you cannot really see the problem, but after extracting the hands from the original, there is all kinds of green that has bled into the skin color of the kids' arms.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a network infrastructure diagram for where Iwork with Diagram.
For this I am putting into the diagram, images of: servers, switches,racks and so on. What I wish for those images is to have transparent background. So far, I've been able to find decent resolution imageswhich it's because I've started with the latest hardware.Here's an example, let's say for our Dell PowerEdge 6850 servers if found this: [URL] ....
which by fuzzy selecting the white background, with a threshold of15.0 and some selection subtractions I've been able to turn to: [URL] .... which is nice for what I wish to use it for.
Now, I've been able to handle some easy likewise situations but nowI've reached the vintage hardware and got bad results. Let me show an example image: [URL] .....
This is more difficult to make it look as I wish since it's resolution it's not decent and it also has a shadow effect which hardens a precise initial selection which can then be worked out to a better result.
After some efforts I either end up with a pixelized image or with a severely chopped image.
So, my question is how could I achieve the desired result for this and such images?

View 4 Replies View RelatedFor quite some time I've been trying to find the best way to remove a white background from images. I've checked out the sticky thread on this forum and as my image isn't of great quality and because it features quite a lot of white that won't apply.
Recently I found this tutorial which is supposed to work great (as seen in the comments). However, I think that because of a GIMP update that won't apply anymore somehow. I was hoping you guys might know what was causing it.
Everything works well until I get to step 7, where I have to select to Alpha. There it selects just the outlines, but my selection includes inner parts of the image, not just the background. And then after I invert and delete, the white that remains still has transparent parts that show up on the upper layer. So, am I doing something wrong with the Alpha to Selection, is that tutorial updated or is there a better way to remove the background from ie. a logo with just one background colour which isn't of great quality.
