Quote by BufordIt really depends
on the background of the image I'm trying to cut out. Most often I use a layer mask and use a brush to go around
the edges until they look clean. If the background is mostly one color, I use a color to alpha of that color and then
fill in the missing color on a layer underneath the original image. Sometimes other methods work
better.
XD I used to do that a while ago, and it helped out a lot...
Quote by bucket-shotActually, I beg to differ, XD <-uses that lasso on
everything and its uncle. With quickmask.
And I don't see the need to zoom in past 400%. At that size you can see pxs clearly anyways. *shrugs* :) Just
personal, of course. Could be to do with the size of my monitor making the extra scrolling worth not the accuracy-hand
cramp.
Well, in my circumstances, it helps not to use it, because all of my scans are bigger than my laptops screen (give or
take some special ones which are smaller :D), which doesnt help when i need to scroll down or up or any other direction.
Making the even one pixel selection is a quick, easy way to get rid of any unwanted pixels, plus it doesnt make the
picture look weird. With the lasso it takes some time to aim it in the right path, so that if you are going around a
curve you wont chop off a bit of the characters outline (if it has an outline) But, i geuss its your method, so ill shut
up for now -goes back to bed-
