  1. Select pretty close to the object (try to make the selection the same ratio as you want it to be in the end)

    Crop canvas to the selection.

    Use the magic wand to remove the most of the background, then remove the rest with the eraser or whatever you like.

    New layer, fill with white and move that layer down.

    (By now, before the resizing, I can get the size to 40Kb at quality 37)

    Resize and crop it to the right size if you need it.

    New layer, write text.

    Save, filetype jpeg, and put the quality so the size is correct.

    Hope this will help! :wink:

  2. LFC4Ever got me thinking about a water melon ... I guess it would be possible to use this for things like squashes etc ?

    For an example, look at my image (some posts up). It's just a question about shape and color :wink:

    ***Edit. My wife just told me, my attempt ... "Looks like it's pregnant" ... harsh criticism but she's right :lol:

    :lol:

  3. I tried a couple of things on your photo and I could keep the quality at about 90.

    The biggest problem in your example is the part of the background you didn't remove, with a completly white background it was easier. The filesize depends on the image size (number of pixels used), and the number of colors (and transparancy in .png, .gif etc.).

    adjust the levels input and output then highlight and shadow recovery.

    its about as best as I can go, in a quick one pass adjustment. how important is it ? you could always cut out each person for separate layer and do the levels input /output and hightlight and shadow recovery different settings each person. You know their true skin hues better than we do. I seem to think the fellow on the far right looks fine in original, when I did this I did it all one layer so now he looks a tad reddish.

    If you decide to do a bang up job on it I'd cut out the background completely that overhead light in the background and the ceiling beams are really distracting.

    Agreed with oma's solution except that I should use "auto-level" then a bit of the "basic adjustments" before "shadow/highlight" (oma's edit is a bit dark in the corners edges, this method makes them keep their color/brightness).

    Plus selecting the skin of each separatly, copy and paste each part in a new layer.

    Set the blending mode to multiply and play around with the opacity until satisfied.

    And maybe some smaller pixel editing.

    Sorry if this is a bit late but...
