Remove background without pixelated edges - gcuoco37 - 01-03-2022
Hey all,
I'm trying to cut a single piece out of a full jpg, delete the background, and change the color from black to white. When I select the image and delete everything else the edges come out looking all pixelated. I was using the square select to remove the big chunks, then I was using the magic wand to select the image I want to save and use the invert select option to remove the background.
The magic wand selects by color, but there is a range of grayscale around the boarder when I delete the bulk of the image.
Any help is appreciated.
Greg

Also, my ofn-erase-background script that automates and improves some of this.

From there, rather use the Free Select Tool, or Fuzzy select tool to get rid of the unwanted bits. I don't know how intricate your image is - if very intracate, the Free select tool is probably best - just takes time and patience.
