Hello, friends. Would you believe me if I told you that the attached image is an edit? It does not exist! It's crazy, isn't it? You assumed there was a Mewkledreamy/Elden Ring crossover, but it's not actually real. This is the power of photo editing.
Photoshop is expensive, though, and these days you have to subscribe. I heard there's a way to bypass that, but this isn't the thread for it. I heard someone might have uploaded it somewhere, I think a bird was talking about it.
Anyway, where was I? Ah, yes. I think we should talk about photo editing to encourage more kissu creations since people might want to participate in the random nonsense people throw together here now and then.

This is an old tutorial series, but it was recommended to me a few years ago and it's still great. I think some buttons moved around, so if you're looking at it and confused by a button not being there say so and someone here might be able to tell you where it is.
He goes over the basics and it's done in a really good, straightforward manner. There could be better tutorials out there, but I haven't gone looking and they're probably not easily available on youtube with an easy-to-understand accent.

I don't like that tool. Maybe I don't know how to use it, but Magic Wand seems to work a lot better for me because it offers more control.
You can use individual clicks to add to it and there's options like Tolerance, Anti-Aliasing and, a huge time saver, "contiguous" if you want to select that color all over the image instead of just a direct connection.
I'd suggest you try it. You click the tool, adjust the settings at top, then you click the desired area. You can hold shift and click another area to add to it, or hold control to subtract from it- in this way you can build up a bunch of colors all at once.

Oh yeah. There's an important (and stupid) change in recent photoshop versions. I don't know the specifics, but I noticed that if you opened a JPG and intend to resave it as a PNG you need to use the "Save a Copy" button to see PNG as an option.

Oh well that's a bit disappointing, was hoping someone knew how to work the quick select like you see people do in TV or on youtube...

File:GIMP.png (566.75 KB,1600x1200)

Personally, I'm a big fan of GIMP, although I've been meaning to learn to use Photoshop for a while. The layout and seeming necessity to learn non-standard macros really messes with me every time I try to use it for more than a few minutes and then I go back to GIMP. It's really troublesome. I really need to learn to use it in particular because GIMP is really awful for drawing and so it's not at all suitable for using my wacom tablet with.

>>86907
I concur with >>86908. Using the magic wand tool and then adjusting tolerance will probably just about always be better. Alternatively, the polygonal lasso tool works very well for selecting out things by hand if you want to get perfect edges.

Having GIMP be your first image editor is kind of like learning Perl as your first programming language. On its own, it's fine for what it is, and it even excels at certain things. But it implements a good chunk of its core features in completely archaic, nonsensical ways, and if it's the only image editor you've ever used you're going to have trouble adapting to something more standard like Photoshop or Krita.

I have only ever used GIMP for image editing. I wouldn't even know what to do with PS. For drawing there's better stuff like SAI, CSP (or the older Manga Studio), I think. Photoshop is apparently useful for correcting, though. What kind of editing do you do? The only thing I mostly do is cutting out characters from screencaps or manga pages. Sometimes I make oc, too, but it doesn't really take a lot of effort. Still better than those 9gag/Reddit memegenerator (or whatever) images, however.

Such as?... Personally, my biggest hump is just the macros that don't make sense. Like Ctrl+Z not actually being undo, but instead Ctrl+Shift+Z being undo, and then Ctrl+Z is actually redo instead of Ctrl+Y, or Ctrl+Scroll not being zoom but scroll up/down, and then scroll not being scroll but zoom. All that stuff adds up and breaks convention with just about every piece of software in existence (unless for whatever reason other image editing programs follow Photoshop's macros, which I guess would make sense?).

I already deleted the image last night, but to edit a belly I use Warp.
1. Use polygon lasso (or magic wand) to make a selection of something you want to manipulate. Hit Ctrl + T to open Transform mode, then right click and select Warp.
You'll get this cage looking thing at which point you can click and drag. You really need to be precise with the selection OR clean it up afterwards, however. I recommend duplicating the layer before you start so you can erase the parts you don't want.

like as a gif? That's pretty easy in Gimp.

1. Set each of your frames as a layer, in the order you want to see them (first image on the bottom, last image on the top).
2. (optional) For most efficient filesize, first go to Filters --> Animation --> Optimize (For GIF). this will generate a new file with redundant parts of each layer converted to transparency.
3. Go to File --> Export As... and save as a .gif file.
4. Save "As Animation", choose your frame delay, set frame disposal to cumulative (if you did Step 2), and click both the bottom boxes to force the chosen frame/disposal method for all frames. If you're okay with all the frames having the same delay that's all you need to do.
5. (optional) if you want different delays on frames, you'll need to reopen the file and manually edit the name of each layer. The layers will have names like "Frame 7 (100ms) (combine)", you can edit the 100ms to be whatever delay you want for that frame. Then resave as a gif like in Step 4, EXCEPT make sure to UNCHECK the box to force the default delay for all frames.

I used it when I was making the Lala CSS backgrounds.

For this I'm going to isolate the stars. So I paint them pure black. (they're semi-transparent over a white background so they look grey).
For the stuff I want to exclude I paint it pure white so it blends into the layer below it.
After I'm done painting it, I merge it with the layer below

First, I'll copy the layer I just made with the black stars. I use the square selection thingie in top left and select the whole canvas, then hit Ctrl + C. (Actually I remembered that gray isn't good, so I increased contrast to make it pure black. You don't need to do this if you have a solid texture which you will 99% of the time)

So, now we go back to the old duplicated layer from earlier. Making sure I have it selected, I click the Mask button which is this thing here. It puts a white square to the right of the layer's thumbnail.
I hold Alt and left click the square to enter editing mode for the layer mask. Then, I hit Ctrl + V to copy in the black stars with white background.

File:car sticker rough.mp4 (4.37 MB,1280x720)

Not necessarily a photoshop question, but I feel that it fits in with the theme of this thread. Does anyone know how to smoothly put in an image into a video without it looking out of place? Like with this video, I want to see if I can put a Miku picture onto this while in motion in a way that makes it look like an actual sticker on the car. But while trying I run into some major issues that I just don't know how to resolve. Such as making the crop proper while making it disappear with the car, actually aligning the perspective of the Miku sticker with the car and not having it completely mess up while the car turns, or having some anchor points for the perspective so it can actually "stick" to the car in a static position. Aside from that the remaining issue is that I can't figure out how to make the texture of it look like it fits in the video and is actually a part of the car.

>actually aligning the perspective of the Miku sticker with the car and not having it completely mess up while the car turns, or having some anchor points for the perspective so it can actually "stick" to the car in a static position
You will need to use some kind of motion tracking software so that perspective is preserved no matter how the car or camera moves. This is also what serious fansubbers do for handling position and perspective of on screen texts.
>Aside from that the remaining issue is that I can't figure out how to make the texture of it look like it fits in the video and is actually a part of the car.
Try to look into other image composition modes, such as multiplication.

This is undoubtedly an extreme beginner issue, but through all my messing about I've never actually found a solution.

When you have a source image and want to cut out the background, you're often left with a jagged mess afterwards because the source image uses antialiasing for finer detail. What I'd like to know is how you manage to cut out the background in a seamless fashion without having all that jagged mess left behind.

Looks like some very cute hair there.
Unfortunately, there isn't an automatic way of dealing with that very well. It's easier these days, but for the ideal result you need to do it manually. For the temporary CSS stuff I edit for kissu I rarely bother with perfect selections because it's far too much work for something seen for a few hours and then never again.

There's two things that can help, but there's no magic fix.
(Assuming this is photoshop)

After you have magic wand selected, you can try turning on or off the Anti-Aliasing checkbox at the top that's to the right of 'Tolerance'. You generally want it to be "on", but for pixel art or other stuff that has hard edges you want it to be off. Tolerance itself is also something you could mess with. All of this stuff has to be configured before you make the selection of the area to remove.

The other option is to edit the selection after you've made it, but it's cumbersome since you're likely working with a large, uneven selection if you're using the magic wand tool.
Make the magic wand selection and navigate to this menu under Selection. I used 'feather' here to demonstrate that I've shrunk the magic wand selection, which you should be able to see strongly to the right.

In the end there's no perfection solution. Maybe AI stuff will be able to do it.

>>101443
Masks are a non-destructive way to remove parts of an image. I use them in the posts starting at: >>93775.
It's a grayscale attachment to a layer that dictates which parts are active and visible and which are hidden. 100% black is 100% hidden while 100% white is 100% visible. If you were to look at that image's mask it would be 100% black on the statue with some grey in the transition area, which you can see where it's feathered a bit on its right side (our left). In this example image I have a Kuon layer on top of a solid green layer, and I used a black brush to mask where I drew.
The eye icon is usually to indicate whether a whole layer is active and visible or not, not its mask. But, maybe Krita does it differently.

I decided to give AI a try when doing a photoshop edit thingie for a thread and it worked decent enough. This basically replaced the process of finding a nice stock photo without a bunch of crappy watermarks all over it.
For the background image, I made use of the "blurry background" tag which, apart from being atmosphereic, helps hide some of the weaknesses of AI backgrounds like multiple perspectives, weird light sources, or multiple vanishing points.
For Kuon, I used the "simple background" tag so I could easily remove it and paste her where I wanted her. I could also try to generate Kuon and the background at the same time, but the odds are really not in my favor for everything to get a good result at once.

i've done stuff like that before, got stable diffusion to generate images of blood spatters and even with the same motivation of avoiding kuso stock photo watermarks. remember when you could google image search and it would take you directly to the high resolution image without some no-name stock photo site getting in the way and shitting it up with watermarks? anyway in GIMP i extracted the blood spatter with the help of magic wand select on the white bg, feathering of the selection, then colour to alpha. GIMP's colour to alpha is a bit janky so you have to help it along with a suitable selection to prevent pixels in the middle from turning translucent

kind of strange that you aren't using ai to automatically clean background when you're already using it to generate images...

dont think stable diffusion in the webui supports alpha channels like that

Apparently new photoshop versions hide the good older gradients behind a checkbox. I wonder if anyone makes any new "courses" for photoshop since relying on a google search (and getting SEO stuff generally) is a terrible way to learn.
There was a grace period where people had been able to use Adobe's AI stuff with pirated versions, but that got patched out and from what I hear it's probably not too useful for fun 2D edits instead of traditional stuff. You can also get plugins for Stable Diffusion so you can plug in your local generations into it, but its workflow gave me a headache. (and it's another VRAM hurdle to have SD and Photoshop open)
Plugins also exist for Krita so that might be a better way of doing things if you want to do the local image AI thing with an image editing program for 2D stuff.

After creating some huge image chart comparison things with Stable Diffusion I needed a way to cut them into smaller images. SD does normally do this, but do to how I made the chart it didn't happen this time.
I decided to see if there was a way to separate them from the image. It would take me many hours of tedious work to do it manually.
Thankfully there is a way!

1. First, you create a new Guide Layout under the View menu
2. You set the parameters there like how many columns/rows and how big they are
3. You go to the 'Slice' tool which is under the Cropping icon thing
4. Hit the "Slice from Guides" button
5. Go to "Export for Web" in the File menu
6. Select the "slices" you want to export in the window and hit Save after changing file format to the desires output. I tried to fix it for 20 minutes before realizing that it never actually correctly changes from GIF in the 'save as' window, but it DOES actually export what you want.

According to what I read in a few separate places this is something photoshop devs considered obsolete and marked it as a "legacy" feature because they were going to make a better version, but they never did so it just sits there.

Neat. Any reason behind it being .gif?

It was just the default setting that I didn't bother changing. The "Save for web" thing (oops I said it was "Export for Web" earlier) is an old legacy thing from 20 years ago or more I would assume.
This is also the only way to export animated GIFs from photoshop so I assume GIF was the default for that reason. Although, GIF was also famous for its lossless nature if you had a limited palette.

Back in the day IE couldn't render png with transparency properly. I remember spending many a night writing two versions of every webpage I made. One for IE and one for netscape/mozilla. We'd have to use gif because of IE. Opera and other oddball browsers were always a crap shoot. But typically they handled things better than IE.

Then AJAX came along and I was stuck writing 2 version of every javascript function because IE didn't have great support for that either. Oh and it sucked at CSS as well. So two versions of that.

I could have sworn I already mentioned it in this thread, but I guess I didn't: Newer photoshop versions have a "Remove Background" button and it works surprisingly well. It might be related to a simple "AI" thing since the same functionality is in Stable Diffusion. Oh wait, yeah it must have been the SD one that I talked about in the SD thread.
It's not perfect, but it applies a layer mask so it's non-destructive and you can manually clean it up and it still saves a lot of time. I'm sure it's aimed at human figures so you can't really use it to crop other stuff. I wish this kind of tech was more widespread because it would really help people participate in random edit threads since it's so effortless. Maybe I could upload my photoshop version somewhere...

If that's the level of accuracy that modern photoshop can achieve, then I am happy that even though I am amazingly inefficient with my workflow, there is still a niche for the transparencies I make.

Yeah, it's still far from perfect. For me it gives a third option for random stupid edits of finicky images:

Option 1: Spend 30 minutes of annoying, hand-cramping labor that I regret the entire time for an image that will be forgotten in 3 minutes
Option 2: Do an extremely rough job full of background pieces everywhere, saving time but looking very obviously rough
(NEW) Option 3: Do auto BG removal, feel 90% satisfied and spend a lot less time

These aren't images to put in a portfolio, but they're fantastic for actually encouraging me to make edits by mostly removing the frustrating part.

Like I said it's not perfect and I had to fix it up, but it was still a lot less work than the magic wand or the cursed manual method
