Hi Dave.
What software are you using to get the captures of your watches.
The cut out is not so good, you can see in all banners the white pixels around.
I use photoshop, and its really easy to cut out the faces

Yeah I agree, I did the banner for my homepage ok with GIMP but i could of tried a bit harder with the collection banners.
With photoshop its about 10 seconds to cut out nicely a face.

What is the procedure in Photoshop? It takes me longer than 10 seconds in PSP. If it looks easier to do it in Photoshop I may change.
Hi Linlay, I just take a screenshot from the preview and use the magic wand + Delete.
Really takes me 10 seconds.
I used the purple background so you can see better the result.
What I do
Step 1 Take screenshot
Step 2 Create new (clipboard size) and paste clipboard
Step 3 Rectangle select (so i just get the watch and not the rest from the screenshot) and cut
Step 4 (Repeat step 2)
Step 5 Magic wand select and delete
Step 6 Quick Export as png

The magic wand select is just one click on any white area

Thanks joedoughty,
That is exactly what I do in PSP, but I always have to clean up extra pixels around the watch, especially if placing a black watch on a dark background. I guess Photoshop just works better!

Yeah, Photoshops magic wand does justice to its name.
I was using gimp, before, but now I only ever use gimp for the “Color to alpha selection”

@joedoughty, I’ve already sent this discussion off topic so I won’t make it worse. Apologies to Goatface. I’ve been adjusting my Magic Wand settings which seems to help, but I’m curious what settings you use for PS. I’ll send you a Private Message.
