Amazing! What did you do? I literally just used my phones built in snipping tool- but I’ve been trying to learn editing software as I’ve been learning photography - just have no idea what most of the knobs do yet haha curious if you had any tips :)
For transparency, used to do it by hand but there are sites out there that do the job decent enough at a fraction of the time.
- Reverse image search to get a high resolution source.
- Sidebar #2 links to https://remove.bg/upload but it cut off too much hair initially. There’s an edit button to get it to add/remove parts.
- Only allows low resolution downloads for free, so grab that.
- Open source image and the smaller one with transparency in GNU IMP. Version 3 just released and it’s a nice upgrade.
- Scale the small image up to resolution of the original, it’ll look bad but that doesn’t matter, the transparency data is what is needed.
- Copy it over to the other file tab, paste as new layer.
- Select the transparency (iirc it’s under Layers>Transparency>Select or something similar) for the low resolution layer, switch to other layer and delete.
- Export as png or webp (lossless or lossy).
(Optionally, can add a black layer behind the image to check for areas that may need additional cleanup.)
(If the small free preview is enough can stop there. But wanted to play around with the new software anyways.)
(There are other apps and sites that can come out differently if you want to try a few. Also doing some adjustments to contrast and such to help the automation find what to keep and what to remove can help.)Very cool - thanks!
YES! We really need more ancient Greek women emotes. They look so pretty.
