Silhouette

Post by arturox »

Good day PSP enthusiasts. :-)

Are there any PSP tools that will take a filled Black silhouette image and convert/manipulate it to be just a black outline with the black fill now being white, as per the attached image.

Thanks

Hi Ax,

One way is to select the silhouette; invert selection; modify selection borders; select border width (I used 5) and promote selection to layer. Then hide or delete the original silhouette layer.

If this is something you do often you can record a script.

As the two above show, lots of good fast ways to get what you want, built into PSP. But if you wanted to get really crazy this would work well with vector tracing. Not a PSP tool, but a script and external program that can be used to create vector shapes in PSP. You can then choose your stroke width and fill colors and edit them endlessly.

Aha!
Thanks Kathy_9 and Jean-Luc, both those suggestions work a treat.

Thanks also to LeviFiction for the script suggestion, but as this is an occasional event I'll pass.
Appreciated. :-)

I've used the Kathy_9 method in my project and that's done the business okay.

So thanks for that...
