    Change the background step by step to a portrait

    Don't seems to be the reason according to your first work above , at the beginning of this post.

     

    I will revise and try to understand this :

    "

    Make sure you draw the outline on your Outline the subject layer. I usually use the zoom feature to help me see the edges better.

     

    To check if there is a gap on your outline add another layer and fill it with a color that contrasts with the outline. Move this layer below your Outline the subject layer.

     

    One more thing. Look on your subjects layer, you may have drawn the outline or parts of the outline on this layer."

    I am here again. Never gives up.

    I think in one of the videos uses the lasso tool.

    And seems i can redraw again and again.

     

    I also will try :

     

    "

    Try lowering the tolerance of your magic wand tool.

     

    Also, try to thicken up your line. Look for thin spots, use larger brush widths, color as much as you need to. As long as the coloring is done on the inside of the subject, and traced along the edge of your subject without going over the edge, then how thick your line is doesn't matter.

    Ignore the replace color settings for a moment, and look at my outline in this picture.
    I used a variety of brush widths and then I just painted my subject. I used a careful hand near the edges and small brushes for tight places but used thicker brushes to then re-trace along the thinner lines to thicken them up. The thin lines set a boundary and guide for me that I could go along with a thicker paintbrush to make things thicker. You can use big brushes for places that are not tight though.

     

    In my picture I used big brushes for the top of the head, small brushes around the ear, and thickened up thin lines by simply painting entire areas. This helps to ensure that an outline is solid and won't have gaps or weak points."

     

     

    I will comment.

    Best Regards

    Seems difficult for me.

     

    Any other way ?

     

    I think my fault is that i do the line in several parts, not only one. But in the same layer : the auxiliary one.

    Carrito,

     

    I found on the net this tool that can help you remove the background. All you have to do is trace in green the areas you want to keep and trace in red the areas you want to remove. This tool checks the colors, hues, contrast and do not what else and draws a line to show the edge of your new image. It will also smooth the lines for you (feathering). Once you have cleaned the background, you can save the image as a png file (to keep the transparency). You can then import the image to paint.net. Add a new layer with the new background and place it below the portrait. 

     

    Paint.net can achieve the same results but for people who just start image manipulation it can represent a challange as there are several steps to follow. I hope this helps you.

    May be simple but not interesting.

    Just because seems a monthly waste of a few dollars.

    I have a puntual need , i am not a designer.

    Try lowing the tolerance of the magic wand, and see if that helps.

     

    If you still have an issue, your line might have a gap somewhere.

     

    To find the gap, temporarily add a new layer below your outline layer, and fill the new layer with a color that helps your outline be easy to see. Then zoom in super close and look around your outline to see where it might be too thin or not connected. Be sure to look at the edges of the picture too, like around the shoulders of the subject where the picture is cut-off. The outline may not have been completed in one of those areas.

     

    EDIT:

    Based on your previous screen shot, try looking around the bottom of the right ear. I'm sorry, after I took a closer look, try looking more around the collar of the shirt. Perhaps that's where the gap is.

    I think one of my fails is draw or traze the line in the same layer that the subject not in the new one created.....

    What can i do . I don't know how to do this.

    And how can I put the forest ?


    Hi. :)

     

    If the plugin you are wanting to try is the Replace Color plugin, then it looks like Eli gave you good example of the plugin.

     

    1) Once you have your subject outlined, get the Magic Wand Tool. While you are on the Outline Layer, click on the outside of your outline.

    2) With your selection active, click on the layer that has your subject on it.

    3) Go up to the menu bar > Effects > Color > Replace Color.

    4) Look at the plugin's User Interface in Eli's example picture, make your plugins setting's and slider's match the picture's setting's and sliders.

    I see this later. Running to try.
