This is a great video. It really helped me create the transparent image I wanted. Thank you. P.S. - Thanks for no background music, for speaking so clearly and concisely, for presenting so logically, for not talking too fast or too slow, and for not moving the mouse around in a darting, random fashion like so many other RU-vidrs do. Well done!
Kevin, I have watched several of your tutorials. You do such a wonderful job of presenting the material on such a wide range of topics! I greatly appreciate all of your work! Thank you for all your contributions and keep up the good work!
Honestly, ever since I started watching RU-vid tutorial videos, Kevin is the one person that captured my full attention. He is direct to point, explicit, well explanatory with full clarity. You are simply awesome!!! You open my eyes to softwares right before me which i never saw. You just pave a way to my new career. Thank you Kevin as i am immensely grateful.
Yeah, I was able to remove the background from an image that I have on my computer (I just wanted to convert the background from plain black to plain white so that the image stands out better there) by following the instructions that Kevin Stratvert stated in this RU-vid video. However, because I had to resize the image to make it bigger there (I originally saved it by the default size, but the image was *_way_* smaller than the image in the original image file with the black background; so I had to save it in a much bigger image size), it made the image blurry there! Therefore, what did I do wrong to cause the image with the white background/no background to be blurry or very small in size there?
Always straightforward and clearly presented, the trouble is that so many Windows users, myself included have used photoshop for so long that we overlook the great strides made by others. Also the improvements in methods and shortcuts that save hours of tedious background removal. Great stuff especially for us late starting older folk whose computer skills are limited and take longer to learn. All done with a light touch and a cheerful smile..
All the years I've struggled with Photoshop You do such a wonderful job I me. Sooo glad I found you. Thank you 💕💕 helps me a lot with my presentations.
To remove unneccessary white space, I use Paint also installed in Windows 10. I crop the image, move it to the up left corner and with the low right handle, I resize the page around the image. It is more fast to do than to describe.
Hi Kevin I just subscribed. Excellent video. Thank you for going into careful detail. However, I do have an issue. I went to a blank Word document , to test my image to see if it did everything yours did. By making it smaller bigger. That part of it did fine. But for some reason I could not move my image around on the page. Plus in Word it had some weird red line next to it. Im thinking this may have been the reason my image would not move around the page. Any suggestions would be helpful. It would be nice if you could make a video describing how to fit one transparent image on top of another transparent image. For example; Put a pic of a dog or something on the shirt you wore in the video. Anyway, thanks a bunch Kevin👌
That was very helpful... Although, I'm wondering if you could not simply crop the same image in paint 3D to get rid of the extra white space. Also, could you make an instructional video on software for making online forms or surveys?
I just got a new laptop with Windows 11. I am having so many issues!! One thing is that as I am typing away, some how the mouse (I really don't like the touch pad), has changed the screen to whatever my mouse may have been, maybe hovering? There are multiple more things, I don't have time to read 400 pages to get any answers. Any suggestions? I have been working through your excellent work, but there is a lot of things that are not of interest to me.
Awesome video - had no idea this was available and what it could do and that is a super useful feature I will use often. Just to note you can adjust the canvas size after you've moved your selection to a new project and deselect 'keep aspect ratio' to manually reduce the canvas to fit just your cut out image! 👍 Awesome and useful videos, thanks for doing them Kevin 🙌
Thank you Kevin. Something else I didn't know! I just did this on a couple of images and it worked very well. Can I say that if all you need to do is to crop your image after saving from Paint3d, opening in 'Photos' - native to Windows 10 - and choosing the crop option will do what you need. You can save a copy or update the original.
Ok I'm from india but I understand English language but I understand Marathi and Hindi language app ko bhi English Hindi and Marathi language you under stand so do comment and tell me I'm 14 year old
Great tutorial video Kevin but one question....could you have used the "crop" tool to eliminate the sides of that photo? Would that have changed other image properties?
yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo you mean to tell me I had this *ALL THIS TIME!!!!* and didnt know it??????? 😳😳😳 Maaan bless you for this video. Thank You 🙏🏾
Brilliant. So clear and concise. Exactly how instructional videos should be. I was using photoshop to do this and had no idea that there was already software built into windows which does the task so much easier. Thank you. Have subscribed.
I appreciate that you speak well. It's so distracting when a speaker stumbles with words such as, um, ah, mmmm, etc or uses the word "like" too many times. You are easy to listen to and easy to understand what you are teaching. I also like that you only give the info we need instead of a lot of side stories or go off on talk that has nothing to do with what you're teaching. Great Job, Thanks.
Hi Kevin, great job!! I’ve been trying to remove background in Corel Draw now for some time. Your way by far is excellent. Thanks for showing us. I would like to see if you can show us how to remove unwanted text from a 2D object.
Can you do a video on how to add a white outline (or any color outline) around a transparent PNG? Apparently you need photoshop or some other equivalent photo editing software. But if there's a way to do that in Paint 3D or even powerpoint I'd love to know. Thanks!
HI. Anyone knows why there is only save as "Paint 3d Project" when I click Save As?? In the video there is suppose to be other options like "save as jpg" and "save as png". Does this happens yo anyone?
Disclaimer : When you copy the removed pic, it only gets pasted in microsoft softwares like powerpoint, word, paint, etc. iT DOES NOT WORK anywhere else
Wonderful tutorial. I've used Paint Shop Pro for a couple decades; using PSP 2020 Ultimate now. Removing the background has never been this easy. Usually quite tedious. From now on, I'll use Paint 3D to pre-process the image. Then move into PSP 2020.
Enjoyed the video. Helped immensely! You can adjust the canvas size on 3D paint, if you want it to conform to the image shape. This avoids the need to use an additional program.
Exactly what I needed. Very articulate with clear direction. Hope you have other 'explanation' videos. The 'tech' graphic world is a strange thing...So many assume the initial steps...that's where I typically am stuck! Great job!
This is amazing! I sometimes like to try and mix pictures for my thumbnails but don't like the copy-paste look. This is brilliant and I immediately checked on my Windows 10 start menu to see it. Thanks! Liked and subbed :)
Yes, they are great - although I have to watch them a lot and I've tried to find your cookies on amazon. They look good. But they aren't there. It's annoying... Thank you for the videos though. They are very helpful.
I am 88 yrs. old and as a result not sure until I have tried and succeeded. Thank you very much Kevin. Enjoy your videos and will appreciate to receive besides the 2 I have saved.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! I know how to remove a background from my picture, buy what I am having trouble with, and what I cannot figure out, is how to keep thin black lines in the picture too, that are outside of my artwork, while making it a transparent background? I have literally tried everything, and I know that there has to be a way where the editor can know where the pixels of the thin black ink is, in order to keep it in the picture, but it is having trouble selecting it, and keeping it? Is there any other free editor's that do alot better with this? Anybody? Thanks...SBN RESONATE
FINALLY! A video that actually helps! I had to download an image from picrew, but my snipping tool gave it a backround. so i searched something up like this, and it actually helped me let me create my visual novel in google slides. THANK YOU! -Your new subscriber
Nice. Its my first experience with intelligent background removal. I should be fast, easy and accurate: I don't wanna spend 20 minutes for a removal. Despite from the online based services I give Paint3D a try today. Its easy, medium fast, medium accurate. When saving the PNG file with Paint3D it will reduce the resolution about 50%. This is a NO GO! When I paste my transparent image into PaintDotNet and then save the PNG file then the resolution keeps original. Much better.
Great stuff! Can you show the next stage? Making a 2.5D image? You've shown the wonderful job Paint3D does of creating the hidden background behind your original image. Now I want to slowly move your image in various directions across this or another background. Can you do?
Great video. A bit confusing for an "old" man, but I am going to try it this week. Question what is PNG? What is difference between PNG, JPEG, & GIF. I'M 73, still learning lol.
Thank you, Kevin! It was a great way to move Background of a Photo! You are an awesome teacher! Kevin, can you possibly teach on Create Postcard on Publisher 365. I just bought it according to your recommendation from your other video. Thanks again! Blessings to you, Kevin!
Your tutorials on OBS and Shotcut helped so much. I now need one on best video compressors. I'm doing videos as large as 4GB and need to reduce the size to something under 100MB without loosing video quality. Looking forward to this. Thanks
Okay I tried a bit. Pain3D is free and makes it really fast and really easy to remove a background. With a few corrections you get a fast result. The precision could be better and smoother. But no complain. Its included in Windows and really easy to handle. Paint3D though acts stupid in many many many ways handling the job. It does not even support drag and drop to open an image. It can only work on ONE image at a time. How silly is that in the year 2023? But I have one major complain: Its impossible to save the object without rescaling it. And every rescale comes with quality losses. Of course is PNG a lossless file, but before saving in PNG I have to paste my object onto a new paper and then scale it by hand fitting to the paper, and this is a rescale that I am complaining about. all I want is to save my object, with transparent background in the 1:1 size of the original, without a single pixel rescaled. What kind of people work at Microsoft these days?
