General Art Question

Alrighty people who do digital art. I do so have a question for you!

I've done art for people in photoshop and whatnot but I seem to be having issues when I save it and upload it. It's all fuzzy on the outside. I sharpen the image a lot and still fuzzies! Even after erasing around the edges in an attempt to make it less fuzzy! XD

So, TRANSPARENTISING. HOW DOES I DO IT?

Yes, n00b question. Get over it. >_>;

Duplicate the background layer (this is all before you save it), delete the original, magic wand all the parts you want to be transparentize and clear them.

Make sure when you save, save first to .psd in compatibility mode, and then save as a .png without any weird effects like interlace etc.

Fuzzing is generally the result of a low quality jpg. Also make sure that the site you upload to doesn't automatically turn things into jpgs. Imageshack generally doesn't.

What exactly do you mean by "fuzzies"? Can you show an example? I think I might have an idea about how to fix your problem, but I'd have to know if we're actually on the same page first.

Anyone heading for Amaya not looking to keep their starter (preferably cubble)? Might I interest you in a birthday promo or an albino eevee?

I think you nailed it, IB thanks!

Phoenixsong, I can't show an example right now since I'm at work, but it's what IB called fuzzing. Random pixely stuff around the image. :\

Hm. Well. You might also want to try using the "Save for Web" dialog when saving the picture instead of just Save or Save As. In the little drop-down menu near the top, change the filetype to "PNG-24". That format preserves transparency while still keeping an image quality almost like a JPEG's. It should remove any pixellated "fuzz" by itself, especially if that fuzz is not actually stray pixels on the outside of the drawing. If what IB suggested doesn't work then the format itself is the problem, so saving as PNG-24 should fix it.
