Editing artwork

(WIP)

Krita is my preferred tool of choice here (its free and easy to use)

Cutting

Use the Polygonal Selection Tool with anti-aliasing enabled.

Select the bird or the excess. Invert the selection if necessary, then delete the background.

Halo

Use Image > Flatten Image first.

  1. Set the foreground colour to #F0ECE5.
  2. Use Select > Select Opaque.
  3. Use Select > Grow Selection... with a radius of about 18 px, depending on the image size.
  4. Use Layer > New > Paint Layer, then drag the layer below the bird.
  5. Use Edit > Fill with Foreground Color.
  6. Use Select > Deselect, then Image > Flatten Image.
  7. Export as PNG and tick Store alpha channel.
