Topic: NotATether's Premium PHOTOSHOPPING Service (Read 535 times)

Bump!

I want to build a portfolio, and it will be in the first post (as I forgot to reserve a post for that), so if you have any images you would like me to erase, feel free to PM me or send me a sample.

@NotATether Hear me out, you may wanna do a few more (2 or 3) background erasing example or just use the ones you did as a demo and add those as a before and after image to the first post?

We are back up again!  

One free demo left.

This service is paused effective immediately. The reason is that the server I'm using to photoshop the graphics went down last night, and I can't seem to power cycle it. I'm waiting for technical support to bring it back up, and will update this thread accordingly. Thanks for your attention.

LOL, it's kinda ironic how the shape of the pie turned out. But considering it was on a white box, I'm not surprised to see the comparison.

Besides, since I'm in the business of removing backgrounds, and not beautifying the pictures themselves, I can say it was a pretty good job.

It looks like a rusty bottle cap now, instead of a pie. I like it!

Well, sorry for being late - I had a cold.

But anyway, here is there completed image:



Still one more demo left

This is a handy service provided by NotATether and good to see members in the forum offering a varying degree of services. Going by the images of your recent work posted in the thread, you will not have to wait long before members start approaching you with work.

Adobe is not the only large company that does not accept prepaid Mastercard and VISA. I hope this and associated services you offer will generate enough for you to pay for the CC subscription working around the prepaid card issue.

And truth. This model that Adobe created, I think it hurt little designers a lot.
That's why I've been choosing to use Corel PaintShop Pro more. It may not be as well known and with so many options, but it's very good and very competent for most jobs.

Eventually, I will find a way to get the CC subscription, but only if this service succeeds, as $20/month becomes expensive fast. I am planning to expand it to beyond background erasing, so I will have to see what other image services are in demand first.


Yeah, but they are also more resource intensive as the file size increases (especially the RAW format you are referring to).

The problem with the CC version is that it officially only exists on subscription.
If you make intensive use of the program and really manage to get a return with your work, I think it makes perfect sense to get the official way.

If you want, you can contact me and I can see if I can help you. I have no problem with that. 

Aren't images with higher megapixels and more depth/details easier to edit in photoshop or other software?
Well, I don't want to waste your free offer, so, only if you think its worthy for you or your portfolio, feel free to erase background from this image:



Click on the image for better quality and high resolution. If you need, I can send uncompressed raw

Well I forgot to mention, I am part-time web developer too, and I quickly learned that image editing skills are required if you want to make any kind of graphic outside of templates

Anyway:

Photoshop can technically remove the background from the limb. I tried it, but the result looks unnatural and... weird, because the two tendons become thin lines not attached to anything.

So going forward, objects are required to be closed curves in order for me to remove their backgrounds.

Also, I'll probably charge an extra fee if I have to clean up items on top of the object, like that line w/ circle in the original image. Took me two hours just to get rid of it with the clone stamp and also make sure its pixels were completely gone.



Still two demo orders left

Wow, now you have really surprised me! I though you are hard-core software developer, C maniac etc, I did not expect you have such a talents!
Not my part of business, but good luck; if I need services like that one day, I know whom to contact first

Good option for purchasing original and legal Adobe products really cheap is finding some students from Turkey who can do this for you, there is huge discount for them and  last time I checked price was below $10
There are a lot of members from Turkey in forum, maybe they can share more information about that and help you.

Thanks!
I will check out that page and see how it works.
Anyway, good luck with your service.

I think Electrum desktop wallet supports Lightning Network.

Interesting, I will check that out.


I'm using Photoshop CC 2023. Unfortunately, it is pirated, because Adobe won't accept any of my prepaid cards and also because I also need this for work. I'd really like to pay for it, but it is what it is

Recent versions of Photoshop have a button "Select Subject". This uses AI to detect a person and select it. It's part of a module called "Sensei" that's bundled with Adobe products.

They have a promotional page about it apparently: https://www.adobe.com/sensei.html




I have LN support in my Electrum wallet but it says I can only send coins in channels, not receive them. Plus, the Electrum trampolines it uses by default don't have a path to all channels, which means not everyone's going to pay me successfully.

Ideally, I'd like to find a desktop wallet that's lightweight.

@mv1986

I tried your second image, and I'm able to select the knee joints along with the red laser using "Select Object" and then adjusting the selection in mask view for the little details that are left in/out.

There's no preview here, because I haven't finished it yet. But it took me only ~20 mins up to now.

I didn't know Adobe started using AI tools in their software.
Can you tell me what version of Adobe Photoshop are you using exactly?
I know about Background Eraser Tool and Magic Eraser tools in older version of Photoshop, so how are this new tools you have different from them?

There are several websites you can use as help to identify fonts from images (best if they are converted to black and white), whatfontis.com is great and you can find similar tools on Fontspring and Myfonts.

PS
Do you accept only Bitcoin, or Lightning Network payment is also possible?
 

Tbh when i first read the title i thought it was some sort of "criminal history" eraser type of service lol. But anyways this works too, Good luck!

Congratulations NotATether for your new service.

I know that you are an excellent professional and that is why it was to provide this service in the best possible way to your customers.

May this service of yours be successful! 

There are plenty and also some pretty good chrome plugins if you're trying to find a font from an image. On a website it's easier, just check the font used via inspect element. In most cases, it's there.

Did you know there are several websites that (try to) tell you which font is used in a picture?

It is quite simple to remove text from the background using Photoshop - using a different tool, the "Clone Stamp" tool, I can simply color over the text using the background, and after I save the color of the text inside my collection of color swatches, I can make new text with the same color. But unfortunately, not with the same font, unless I know the font type.

Background Eraser tool is not my name for it, it's the name Adobe gave to it.

Glad to know it helped you

Still two free demos left!

Nice one! That's good to know where to find you. You call it a background eraser, but you could actually also remove writings from a background right? Let me post you an example here, but no need to adjust it just yet.



Could you remove the "lorem ibsum" stuff, but keep the same background and then even add some writing below "Innovative Technologies" with the same font color?

Again, nice work and thank you!

Edit: And would you be able to move the knee closer to the writing? Like cutting out a little bit more than 1/5th in the middle of the picture such that the left side of the knee is a little bit below or very close to "Innovative Technologies"?

Here's your background-erased image:

Hey NotATether,

nice service as a little while ago I have been fighting with some cheap programs to do exactly what you are offering since I am planning on launching a crypto-related website soon (one I bought years ago, but never got it off the ground as I didn't have the time...).

So here is my picture and I'd like you to isolate the coin. The size is ok right?



Looking forward to your response!

Services provided

Background Eraser Service

While other online background erasers require you to purchase a set amount of credits to erase a background with a questionable quality result, my background eraser uses cutting-edge erasing software together with the GIMP editor to erase backgrounds directly. I have a wide variety of tools available for erasing those pesky backgrounds.

Laser Eyes Service

That's right. I can make laser eyes for your images in ANY color, with variable intensity and adjustable flare length.


Pricing (new)

New prices!

For Background Eraser Service:

You pay $5/image. Also I accept batches of images.

For Laser Eyes Service:

You pay $10 per image. Batches of images are also accepted.

For paying: Bitcoin, Lightning Network BTC, ETH (but not stablecoins) and Monero are all accepted.

Interested people can contact me by PM or this thread directly.

Terms and conditions

The object you want the background removed must be a closed curve. In other words, the background must not "leak" into the object. This is common sense to ensure that the background erasure makes a natural image.

Examples of requests that will be rejected:



I will not accept graphic/violent or NSFW images.

You pay up after I deliver. If for any reason I cannot remove the background, then you don't pay. Unless otherwise communicated in correspondence, you have 48 hours to pay after the result is delivered, otherwise I will classify you as a scammer and take appropriate action.

A gallery will be placed here soon, and as a special offer, you can request a free image job all the way through January 1.
