Thank you for speaking slowly, clearly, and systematically. No loud music, no wild fast gestures with your cursor, and no dashing off sideways to show us everything else that can be done other than what you are showing. Just straightforward instruction. Best video I have seen yet.

Krita really need to hire you as their official tutor. You are so much better than any other channel it's ridiculous. Every other channel just seems to want to showcase their own art and has no skill at communicating to beginners how to use the software.

@natellareal Год назад

@@BladeandQuill I got one more question, so after you remove all the background but there color is missing in some parts of the image, how would you fix that? I used contiguous selection tool to remove the background. I did press CTRL+J twice but it would not fill the gaps in the images. Brush drawing is not working on the image.

@BladeandQuill Год назад

Hello Nino. Try the method LOCAL SELECTION. I think this should be a better option for you. This way, you won't lose anything in the middle. 08:02 How to remove any complex background of a photograph. Let me know if this worked better for you. Thanks.

@natellareal Год назад

@@BladeandQuill I used steps from 2.55 as I have white background and very complex image consisting of multiple small items with interrupted border lines (that was the original problem to remove background). Took me and hour to clear everything what became somehow transparent. Not sure where I can find Local selection tool.

Cool, I use online AI background remover services. And image is usually low res but you can turn it into mask and resize it. Before I was using Inkscape to create monochrome shape and use it as transparency mask.

@LilAimeeLynn Год назад

I really loved this video! I just have to ask thought, what practical application would you use your last technique for?? It seems incredibly tedious when other options would do better and quicker. ❤

@BladeandQuill Год назад

Hello Aimee. Yes, I agree with you, this was tedious for that picture. However, for simpler images where there are not too many colors involved, maybe a cartoon, this method is super fast. I just wanted to show the worse, this way, people can use it for simpler images. I hope this makes sense. Thanks for watching and great question.

@FernandesNate 7 месяцев назад

Great tutorial! I'm curious though. What about a layer that has something like fine hair or eyelashes and you want to keep just the eyelashes themselves but remove the background skin around them?

@BladeandQuill 7 месяцев назад

Hello FernandesNate. Since Krita doesn't offer AI-powered background removal like Photoshop or Corel (at least, to my understanding), you will need to manually remove as much of the background as possible around the areas of interest and then repaint the fine hair and eyelashes. Use a fine-tipped brush to carefully repaint any missing or distorted hair strands, blending them seamlessly with the existing hair. Go to Krita's forum and you will find a bunch of brush bundles to download. Some of them are hair brushes. I hope this helps. Try this link: krita-artists.org/c/resources/brushes-and-bundles/32

So for the dog it's the complex object simple background technique, while the car it's the simple object complex background technique? Did I get this right?

@lorawarren7006 Год назад

Hello Corinne! From your previous instruction, I have my image, I unclicked the background and the paint is only on the image, not the background which means I was drawing/painting with that gray/white checker look, I did transparent on background. My picture is fine but I still see some original background in those checkers. I need it to be just the image (a head) with nothing around it so I can use it. If I export this is it just the image or does that checker back show up? I know you said save it as png not jpeg. Right now it is kra. I thought I would not see it looking like its not on a piece of paper, but only the head. Since I've never done it I dont know if checker indicates that part will not show up when I download or will it be just the painted head? If its not just my painted head can I get rid of the background in one of the ways in this tutorial? I hope that makes sense. Thank you!!

Hello. Sorry about the late reply. Are you still experiencing this? You only have one layer and it is the photograph or illustration... Right? Sometimes, you have to click a few times for the removal to happen. Since I cannot see your image, it's difficult to pin point the problem and solve it.

@boaz9208 5 месяцев назад

I would like to use these techniques to filter the background out of a photograph of hand written letters. So that only the letters remain. However, it takes too much time to manually clean the edges of the letters like in this video. Is there a way to just subtract everything within a color range, so that everything but the black of the letters disappears without having to filter the edges by hand?

@BladeandQuill 5 месяцев назад

Hello. What type of background do you have? Is it textured? Is there a pattern? Is this a letter that was written on a very heavily decorated stationary? Is this a paper you scanned? So many question...

@BladeandQuill 2 года назад

I completely forgot to say that in the manual they mention that the G’Mic plugin for Krita exists only on Windows and Linux. I just saw your email reply in my inbox. You said you are using a Mac. Did you know that you can set up your Mac to accept windows programs? Many years ago, I asked the IT team at the university I work for, to set up my Mac computer to do so. I had to do that, because at my work, everyone was using windows and were sending me documents I couldn't open on my Mac computer. Anyway... Long story short, the IT team installed some windows programs that was compatible with MAC. So, I could switch back and forth between Windows and Mac without any problems. I do not know if this is still a thing... Maybe ask around and see. This is where my IT knowledge stops. LOL. Best of luck.

@Ciaotsu21 Месяц назад

Hi! I think i've done everything in this guide... no luck. Here's what happened. Yesterday, I was drawing something. I still had the background layer. I saw form a comment on a different vid that to have the background layer transparent, we just have to delete it. It was successful. Today, I added another layer to paint on (3 layers to be exact) and I fused these layers. Now when I save it to png, I can't have it as transparent anymore. It has white bg. Do you perhaps have a solution? tysm

@BladeandQuill Месяц назад

Hello. This is very weird. I tried replicating what you said and could save my image without a background. Now, I have a silly question (and please, understand that since I cannot see your interface, I can only imagine a few scenarios)... Are you sure you saved the image as a PNG and didn't check another format by accident? It happens to the best of us?

@@BladeandQuill yuuup :"). What i did is made a new file, copy that drawing and did the exact the same thing (deleting bg) and it finally worked. Haha idk what happened there honestly

Can you help me? I need to save a file as jpg without background, and I tried as you said, however the jpg file was saved with white background. What i should to do?

@BladeandQuill Год назад

Hi Sevara. The best way to save an image without a background, is to save as a PNG. I explained to another viewer a few days ago that PNG supports high color fidelity and transparency. It uses lossless compression. Meaning that it preserves the original quality of the image without sacrificing any details. It maintains color accuracy and smooth transitions. I hope this helps.

How to remove the white background of ... a colored illustration?

@BladeandQuill 4 месяца назад

Hello. There is no easy answer to your question, as I cannot see your illustration. I would use the ADD A LOCAL SELECTION technique to be sure you don't alter your illustration. The technique starts at minute 8:02. This way if your illustration contains white in it, you won't remove it by accident.

@mxurbano 4 месяца назад

@@BladeandQuill I love that you replied! Thank you. You nicely organize different approaches to removing the background, but the one category that I needed wasn't there which had me thinking that it is so obvious it doesn't deserve it's own category. I'll look into the technique you suggest.
