Hi all,
I have a cartoon type picture (v similar to
http://build.tripod.lycos.com/imagebrowser/clipart/People/Ja zz_and_Swing_Music/_image_G0461012.html)
which I want to replace the black background with a white background.
The problem is that the figures in the picture have black as part of their bodies, so if I use the magic wand and fill or cut then it ruins the people in the picture
What I need to do is somehow "intelligently" cut out the figures and add a black border to make it look right.
Is there a way of doing this automatically in photoshop, or do I need to trace around manually? If I need to trace around manually, are there any tools to help me get it even?
I am not very proficient with Photoshop and not that great an artist, so I am hoping that there is a tool or process to do this 🙂
Cheers,
Ben
