This should be stickied

 

[Heavens Blade]

thanks for the info

It shouldn't be stickied, I tell you why and Cali might agree with me, when you render you don't simply cut off the background, rather you make the picture bigger with greater quality. Also the picture is then colored in a nice color path, meaning the colors are clean but not sharp. (There is a thread somewhere about having colors at the opposite of the palette.)

Also it makes me wonder why is it called render when everyone else calls it vectoring.

There is a huge difference between vectoring(which you are talkking about) and rendering(what the thread is about)

My bad then. ^__^

The only issue with this is that the render may have a white border around 1 pixel big, which can be quite annoying if you're using the render for a sig.

You can actually see some of these areas along his legs if you switch to KakashiBase.

 

[Anduril]

It is cool if u have a huge color difference between the render and its background which is not always the case and it does not really provide smooth results there is white left all over the image if u dont feather it properly
nice tut though

In the instance of the white bg, After removing the majority of the white with the magic wand; why didn't you just select color range and feather that, removing everything from inside of the render from the selection, and cutting that leaving a nice blend of whichever color is nearest to the edge into nothing?

Other than that, nice job with the little diy

 

[Serpent]

That only works with plain backgrounds, and the render is still not as clean as it should be... U_U

Wrong.
Feathering makes it look retarded.

For Photoshop Users :

Select - Color Range - Select the Color - Select The Amount - Press Ok - Edit - Cut


The End,thanks for listening.
And if it becomes too pale because white from inside was deleted,just make a layer,put it below the Render Layer,take a white brush and start coloring underneath him.

hmm... that sounds oddly similar to what i'd just suggested... (with a slight variance)

Good information!!!

 

[The Doctor]

Good, however getting the outline off is easier than just using the eraser tool. What you can do is use the fuzzy select to select the entire image and then go to: Select > Grow >1 pixel. Then go to: Edit > Clear with it still selected after growth. It should removed the white outline.

OH MY MOTHA F***ING GOD

this is TONES lots better then how I did it. I would use the eraser tool to get rid of all the background.

but wha do you do if its a coloured background that you want erased?

you can select the image the best you can using several different tools to select just the image desired it works exactly the same way as with a solid colored bg, only it takes a little more time and patients.
