 |

Can anyone tell me how to make a solid black silhouette from an outlined figure without the jaggies? In other words, outline a figure, make it solid black with a solid white background, and with a smooth, hard edge?[img][/img]

well, the way I would do it is to use
Step 1: Quick Mask and get rid of the background
Step 2: copy the person and paste to a new layer
Step 3: Delete the background so that it is the color you want.
Step 4: go to the layer with the person on it and go to IMAGE/ADJUST/THRESHOLD and that should give you your black silhouette
Step 5: use the eraser to smooth edges .... to your own taste

Or, once you've got rid of the background:
- select the blank area with the magic wand (non-contigious)
- then invert the selection to give you the figure
- create a new layer
- paint black into that area
Not sure which will produce the best result? What do you think moondog?
