Nimral Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Hi experts, please forgive this very basic question of an occasional user, and maybe I could have found the answer myself somewhere. I have two pictures (see attached file), on two layers. I used the magic wand to cut out the tomato, and then moved it over the background. You see the jagged edges. The original picture was anti-aliased, so the wand had difficulties finding exact edges. I played with the magic wand settings, and you see the best result I achieved, but it is far from perfect. How can I achieve a smoother blending of the edges? Thnx, Armin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Install my plugin pack: https://forums.getpaint.net/BoltBaitPluginPack And look for "Effects > Object > Feather" on the tomato layer after using the magic wand to delete the white background.

You could also just go to Remove Background and get rid of the background first, then you can clean it up more with feather Also, another Plugin called AA'S Assistant is good for sharpening images. 1 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

TrevorOutlaw Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) Edit: You can also use Paint 3D application to extract the tomato from the background too. G'Mic also has a foreground extract method. I need to get around to making a new video for it.

Nimral Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 Many thanks to you for your valuable advice! I tried Remove Background, and it did work very well with the sample I gave you as well as others, which were more difficult to separate. Great tool, but I don't like tools which require online connections all time. A plugin doing the same would be really great. I'll check out your other suggestions now. Thnx, Armin.

TrevorOutlaw Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) @Nimral As I have said, you can also use Paint 3D which comes for free on your PC, and watch this YouTube video on how to use it. There will always be a workaround until someone smarter than me can program a plug-in that automate the process of extracting foreground object from the background. There is also a feature inside G'Mic that also has this ability, but I personally use it as I find it incredibly finicky to use.
