How do I do this?! Airbrush?

Postby efoebar » Thu Nov 03, 2016 11:31 pm

Hello all!

Could someone please help me to understand how I would go about "Airbrushing" a black background around an image...? I understand how to outline a picture and then use the "object --> clip ---> set" method to remove the background but I was wondering if I would be able to use the airbrush or if anyone has another suggestion...?

Thanks!

Clipping sees things in blank and white, either included or excluded.

If you want similar operation but the one that sees grayscale so you can have softer transitions, look into masking
