Tutorials and guidelines for cutters

I suspected the source wasn't that great. It's always best to avoid whenever possible sources like this one where the player has been pre-cut then superimposed on a different background as the chances will be that it won't have been cut up to our standards, as is the case here. The most important part of a good cut is a good source; you can't get the former without the latter

I've given it a quick go myself from that source:

I'm not sure it's any better than yours (most probably) or the current MP image to be honest, but I'll compare it later.

If you want to experiment further, I'd recommend using any of the pending individual requests on the request forum, the vast majority of which are easier to cut and of a better quality than the one you started out with

Hello, I need your expertise.
I've only been working with Photoshop for about a week.
But there are sometimes pictures where I just don't know what to do.
In this picture the sun reflects the color of the green jersey on the chin. i tried that with the repair tool, but it always looked like a mutilation.

greetings

@HRiddick thanks a lot my buddy, i marked it with the lasso and then played the action.unfortunately something seems to be misaligned in photoshop zusein.Look at my result.

greetings

@mons Then it looks like this

Yes it's gone, but don't you think that the skin tone looks a bit strange, or am I just imagining it because the picture has a not so good quality?

@HRiddick Can I also improve something on the chin? I can't do that with the Green Tool, there is no change

Do anyone know how to remove the white glow on the bottom of these?

Here you go,I think it's usable.Please don't ask how I did it...it was a mix of various stuff related to selection masking.Most likely I cannot reproduce it again

For sources like this in the future, the easiest way I can think of to remove the glow would be to use a black-to-transparent gradient on a new layer, and set the layer to overlay or soft light. If the white glow is still noticeable, duplicate the gradient layer, and if the image then looks too saturated you can vertical transform (stretch/squash) that layer if necessary and reduce the opacity. Then right click the gradient layers and Create Clipping Mask so there's no black gradient in the background. Example using these techniques:

I'm not familiar with layers overlay and gradients. I'll look into it today and see if I can reproduce what you and Baki did.

Cutters, I don't know what methods you prefer to create your cut outs, but I found the inside & outside matting procedure one of the simpliest and effective way to cut out images using a program called Franzis Cut Out.

If it is not against the forum rules, I could pass you several portable versions of this program.

@Ivs, it looks an interesting tool - is it free software?

I'm using the Vertus Fluid Mask plugin for Photoshop and it's doing great to far. How Franzis Cut Out is working when you have messy backgrounds with multiple colours and shades?
