#How to extract the outer contour of a character in ps?

PS method of extracting the outer contour of a character:

1. Open photoshop and open the material picture. And make a duplicate layer for later use.

2. Fill the background with black. Or you can create a new layer and fill it with black.

#3. Cut out pictures, whatever method you are used to using will do. This picture is relatively simple, so I use the quick selection tool to select it.

4. Remove color from the cut out characters. Specifically: Image--Adjustment--Decolor.

5. Filter--Stylize--Lighten the edges. This parameter depends on personal feeling based on the actual situation.

6. Extract the highlights of each channel. Ctrl Alt 2, Ctrl J, extract the RGB channel, and then hide the layer. In the same way, use Ctrl Alt 3, 4, and 5 to extract the red, green, and blue channel highlights respectively, and hide the layer at the same time.

7. Hide layer 1 (here refers to the background copy that has been cut out). Merge the four layers you just extracted into one layer (Ctrl E).

8. Enlarge the image and use the background eraser tool to erase the useless noise (or use a mask to complete). This will roughly cut out the contours of the character.
