This will let you take out the background.</p> <p>Brooke</p> <p>------------------<br /> Providing quality websites for businesses and individuals!<br /> <a href="http://www.cataluna.com" class="bb-url">www.cataluna.com</a></p> Wed, 03 May 2000 14:39:00 +0000 Brooke comment 1009483 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/web-design-and-graphics/eliminating-photo-backgrounds#comment-1009482 <p>The clip mask, with the paint on transparency, is a lot better than a lasso. You have pixel by pixel control, AND if you make an error, you change the colour of the paint (to white or black to change the transparency) and fix the errors. Excellent way to mask a photo quickly without losing your mind.</p> <p> <img src="http://www.webmaster-forums.com/ubb/smile.gif" alt="" class="bb-image" /> Suzanne</p> <p>------------------<br /> <a href="http://www.zerocattle.com" class="bb-url">Zero Cattle</a><br /> <a href="http://www.inforamp.net/~suzanne/" class="bb-url">Suzanne</a><br /> <a href="http://www.inforamp.net/~suzanne/index/celtic.html" class="bb-url">Tables DeMystified</a></p> Wed, 03 May 2000 06:19:00 +0000 Suzanne comment 1009482 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/web-design-and-graphics/eliminating-photo-backgrounds#comment-1009481 <p>Photoshop 5+ has a magnetic lasso which can be used for this. However it doesnt work very well if there is not much contrast between your subject and the background.</p> <p>You are best of scanning your image at a high resolution, then ue the lasso to delete unwanted areas. It takes a very long time but I have found this the best way to do it.</p> Tue, 02 May 2000 03:03:00 +0000 Lloyd Hassell comment 1009481 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/web-design-and-graphics/eliminating-photo-backgrounds#comment-1009480 <p>I think Photoshop 5.5 has a tool just for doing that. Yeah, there is a tutorial on Phong (<a href="http://www.phong.com" title="www.phong.com">www.phong.com</a>) for working it. Photoshop 5 doesn't have the feature though...</p> <p>------------------<br /> Is this sign<strong>A</strong>ture short enough?</p> <p>Darn- I can't even spell right...</p> Sat, 29 Apr 2000 13:45:00 +0000 Justin S comment 1009480 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/web-design-and-graphics/eliminating-photo-backgrounds#comment-1009479 <p>Corel PhotoPaint has a tool called the clip mask where you can paint transparency onto a photo.</p> <p>I don't know about PhotoShop, but I imagine it has something similar.</p> <p>hth,</p> <p>Suzanne</p> <p>------------------<br /> <a href="http://www.zerocattle.com" class="bb-url">Zero Cattle</a><br /> <a href="http://www.inforamp.net/~suzanne/" class="bb-url">Suzanne</a><br /> <a href="http://www.inforamp.net/~suzanne/index/celtic.html" class="bb-url">Tables DeMystified</a></p> Sat, 29 Apr 2000 06:02:00 +0000 Suzanne comment 1009479 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
