in this tutorial I'm going to show you how to erase the background on a photo on a picture I have I had this picture save him on my clipboard yeah I took it from Google and I'm gonna show you how to cut off this background from this picture yeah I want all it off the lady's face and I'm here and I even say everything else but not the green part so they made a little bit 275 we get a little bit transparent and I voted up BCA to mine to that um every curve every wrong part here it's gonna be a straight line for now and when we're done with every all the straight lines we will make it better at the node editor so I'll start here straight line - here - okay the line the stroke is too thin I'll make it thicker right here right click and choose one yeah to give the stroke on another color left click on stroke and this will open here stroke paint follow for the stroke I'll choose red okay now I'll go to the node editor and I'll start here yes mine too it won't be perfect perfect but art is close to perfect he was wronged so let's keep it around [Music] these are my kids on the background you talk too much pardon the noise I want one more here go back return it right here I don't want the whiteboard so I'll take it down a little bit pay attention carefully okay the ear will bring it up you want the ear yeah the earring this is wrong is a little bit wrong - okay the face and then this one you stand here and try to fit it you see try to fit it here then here I think we okay let me put one more here double-quick I think we did a pretty good job by tracing it like that so pay attention carefully this is the outline this yellow is the outline of Dom of the head the face and the shoulders the earrings okay now now I'm going to stand here and select both the picture plus the outline and I'm gonna clip it I'm gonna cut it but when I cut it only the part that is outlined will stay will stay the background will be cut off will be gone I'll stand in here and right-click and go to set clip you see that let's do it again I'll trace select both you see the double selection you see here double selection one for the yellow for the outline and one for the picture itself and I'll stand here and right click and I'll go to set clip okay there is it again now we have the picture without the background so like the if right now if I wanted to trace bitmap trace it like go to path and trace it wait let's make it let's put it 200 again 100 yep if I go to path and trace it whoa it will be a big problem because you know the part we cut off the background it's still it's still in the document it's hiding somewhere like a spooky thing check it will show up again who there it is and we don't want it it can stay it can't hurt don't let it haunt you like that we don't want it okay to be able to be delivered from the background once and for all we're going to export this beautiful picture without a background we're going to export it as a PNG file as our own file okay go to your selected go to file export PNG image okay here the unis are gonna put an inch stand on page and put it into inch page this this whole sheet another picture but the page this one okay make sure that the picture fits inside the page and then we gonna click page put the unit 2 inch may get it before and then put it on 11 inch like a normal sheet normal copy paper sheet either a white the width is 8 and a half by 11 I change my pixels to 500 BPI that's good okay here you see here I'm the user and the computer is mine but where you see bitmap you give it a name you name it we're gonna call it h berry excuse me oh my goodness not it's berry HP excuse me okay and I'm going to export it export it it's the export is in progress it's exporting it okay export is done I'm going to look for it in my computer in the search bar HB okay here she is you see here she is we're gonna right click on it open file location' okay and here is here she is here is the picture I'll go back to um I'll go back to what do you call this place excape and I'll delete this I'm not saving it close without saving I don't want it I want only this one i right click on this open with open with int Inkscape okay now go back to in skit and I'll wait for it and wait for it yep okay come on reading your purchase okay here's our HB PNG here's all HB PNG without the without the how do you call this thing again without a background so you can do this for your own picture if you want all your face or not a picture you know you can cut it out like this and check if we would like to make a SVG file of this check what will happen trace bitmap I'll go for a black and white brightness cut off okay it doesn't have a background I'll leave it on smooth an update let's see what will happen you see okay okay come on come on come on come on yep there it is you see it will produce a SVG file without a background because we have exported it and saved it as a new file and this is how you can do this for yourself you can do it with your own picture your baby's picture husband picture your mother's picture if you want to make your SVG like this if you have all the time to read all of this you can create it like this thank you for watching I hope this helps you thank you
