Would anyone be so kind..

..as to feather an image for me? :tongue: I've asked before and got my resulting Avatar but I think it's time for a change. :smile: As you could obviously tell, I am rather obsessed with the Hunger Games.

Thanks to anyone who can do this for me! :smile:

(Me being not so apt in image-editing-lingo, I'm not sure if you guys will know what I mean by feather. By feather, I mean to remove any background aside from the goldish seal, and make it transparent. Thanks. :biggrin:)

I fiddled with it in Gimp for a bit, but I don't know how it's done. For reference, whoever does do it, mind briefly explaining how?

That would be amazing.

I've never been able to feather images. :sadvaultboy:

Hmm, it's a .png but it's still kind of dirty. And by dirty I mean it's not all one shade of black to cut out. http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q235/Lomoru/1-1.png is all I got out of irfanview when trying to make the background transparent.

Gonna have to go into paint and black out the background. Give me a few minutes.

I would love to remove the background from my avatar too, but I have no damn idea how that is done. (like your current image, it has no background).

Looks strange but I'm sure if you use it as an avatar it'll turn out fine. Needs the dark background of the forums. Just make sure it stays in .png format for now, because the second it goes to .jpg it's all over. :tongue:

I was able to make the background a solid black, now it just needs to be transparent. It probably needs to be vectored a bit because I chipped off some edges here and there.

"Would you kindly..."

That's all I thought of when I read the title to the thread.

I'd happily feather it for you.... but since I installed linux I've lost access to photoshop on my personal computer and I have no idea where to even start with gimp.

I did my best with it. It should look ok against a dark background, but not a light one. I think. http://i44.tinypic.com/se1wl4.png

Strange, I actually felt compelled to read this thread and do as asked after reading the thread title. I think bioshock effected me more than I though...

I've made the final copy of the avatar.

http://i41.tinypic.com/348q1hs.png

I resized it so it could be a bigger size than when it is used as an Avatar. Thanks for all the response guys, most of the ones that have been sent in have been too big or not clean enough. I made the background solid black and resized it. All that needs to be done is the feathering

It's not the exact same gradient though, I just put a new similar gradient on top of the transparent black posted by Steampunk.
