Thank you this video was really helpful as I am not in to photography or image manipulation and mostly use Paintshop to reformat images so they go into my cad programs. However with this video I was able do what I neede to do with out having to sit throught many hours of beginners videos.
You probably dont care but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Bryce Dash Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
In çomparison to older versions of paint shop pro are the features the same just more advanced like the eraser? I just purchased Themis version but a bit nervous learning a all new program being a slow learner. I wished my old paint shop pro would work on my current computer but it won't.
@@makeshoppro6408 ... Okay at least the fundamentals are there, buying this version made me nervous as I have a assignment to get done. I believe I purchased the other latest one also last year but can't find it. I always hated learning new software when on a time frame.
Is there a free design software that uses this same method? The PSP I have is too old to run on my computer and I can't afford a newer version right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I miss this function so much.
You highlight an important point. The background eraser is most effective and efficient when dealing with (at least mostly) a homogeneous background. If you have a very complex background, the background eraser would not be the tool of choice.
@@makeshoppro6408 First of all, Great video and detailed instructions. What suggestions would you have for replacing the sky where portions of the photo have trees with many branches you want the sky to illuminate through? Kind of like making that portion semi transpart. The type of photo I am having problems with is, Spring and Fall where there are no leafs on the trees. I've been fiddiling around changing the new sky to Multiply and reducing the opacity to about 50 or so. This seems to require additional erasing though because the sky's don't always fall on the same horizon.. like on the side of the subject. Any thoughts would be appreciated
@@jeffbudzisz160 Great question. It's difficult to recommend an approach without an example, but based on my assumptions of what you are asking, you can try adjusting the sharpness of the background eraser, or it may be worth trying a luminance mask (th-cam.com/video/3L7YEQjvoKY/w-d-xo.html)
This is my second day using the software, so be gentle. lol My toolbar doesn't seem to have all the options yours does. When clicking on this eraser, the top section toolbar only offers a few options. The brush does offer the continuous option you mention, but not my eraser. Suggestions?
@@ChristianCrafter I don't have version 22, but it sounds like you might be clicking on the regular eraser, instead of the background eraser. You may have to click the down-arrow carrot to get the background-eraser.
I am guessing you wont get this because this video was made in 2019 but I do not have (Sampling or Limits Drop Downs) same software everything. Is there a way to check it in settings to get it on my toolbar?
The problem I have with the Erase Background tool is that I can't get the background completely transparent. It always leaves loads of individual pixels behind. Is there a way of getting rid of these?
Background eraser is good for people, pets, and things. I'm trying to remove the background from text-only images, but it erases the text along with the background, and I'm trying to toy with everything.
The subject needs to have some kind of discernable property from the background for the bg eraser to work. This could be a number of attributes but is often color.
If I understand your question, using the background eraser will allow you to modify the hair separate from the background. If you are having issues with 'haloing' you can paint over the subject to modify the hue.

@@dreamawhatley9609 Hi Dreama, I think i missed the context of your issue. This video is on the background eraser, but it sounds like you are having an issue with selection tools?
It is not such a great tool. I tried it with a person with brown hair and a dress with white in it on a white background. Awful ! It whiped out white parts in the dress and so on. I was really looking forward to this 'great tool' but was very dissappointed. So to conclude: there are no such things as 'tools' to do the selection the quick way.
You are right, the Background Eraser does not work for all situations. Not knowing the specifics of your image, you could try experimenting with the sampling or limits controls. In some cases the background may just be difficult and a more manual approach may be necessary: th-cam.com/video/UXVJuwv7m04/w-d-xo.html
@@makeshoppro6408 Maybe by making another raster layer of light yellow you could manipulate it better. I went to school for Photoshop and there are ways to work around most situations. I have been learning this 2021 for a couple of weeks.
I have been using an old copy of Paint Shop Pro for well over 20 years now. I thought it no longer existed. I'm so glad to know that it still exists.

that is extremely manual. How does GIMP or adobephotoshop handle this background removal>?

Generally speaking I'd say the fundamental tools are still the same, and new features have just been added over time.

Of course the first trick is to get your subject to stand in front of a solid color background. In fact, that's really about 80% of the trick!

I'm not sure why this would happen. In all version I've used (including 2021, it is present). May need to contact Corel.
Does not work in the Paint Shop Pro X version.

I think a lot of depends on the nature of the image. Sometimes i have to chase the background erase with the regular eraser.

Not sure which pic you mean, but no I'm not in the pic.
@@makeshoppro6408 The pic you are editing. Just wondering if that was you.
Is there a way when colorizing a background and maintain the color of wispy hair?
If I understand your question, using the background eraser will allow you to modify the hair separate from the background. If you are having issues with 'haloing' you can paint over the subject to modify the hue.
It paints the background black for me
I have not heard of this issue before, and I can't quite recreate it. You may need to ping Corel, or you can try checking the PaintShop Pro forum.

...hammering on the N64, Survivor on the tube and Rob Thomas jamming in the background.
My erasor tool doesn't stop after I have used it. It drags all over the place. Please could you assist.
It's possible that your computer lacks the resources for the tool to run smoothly. An alternative to dragging is clicking at different points.
