Thread: Extraction Program Suggestions

Me, Personally, I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0. It has a tool called the "Mask Selection Brush" that allows you to "paint" on a selection. I've been using Elements since its first release, and I have found that with Each new version, it gets better, the only beef I have with 3.0 is that its a ram hog, but luckily I have plenty of ram. Here's a screenshot of Elements extracting an image: http://www.deviantart.com/view/8575543/

Also, inorder to get good extractions, you need high quality source material, I suggest looking around for websites that have High Res Scans. The Anime Project Alliance and Minitokyo.net are two good sites for high quality scans.

I already have Photoshop 7 and Adobe Illustrator. Cleaning images up isn't a problem. I want to make my own "scans".

I primarily use Elements to extract the images

If you want to make your own scans, you need a scanner with a high resolution (I Like Epson's line of photo scanners) and some pics to scan.

I have one of those as well. I guess I'm not being clear. I'm trying to do video extraction. Still shots that I can extract my picture from. But I'm getting lousy resolution. I'm positive that it's the player and I'm looking for a better extraction program.

Sorry.


[Edit: I think I've figured out how to get a better extraction but they're still not quite up to scratch. )
