What size do you create the smileys?

How do you add the shadow outline effect you have on some of the smileys like these ones

Thanks

I bet if someone wanted to be powerful, they'd make a guide.

I'm no PS guru and idk how everyone else does it, but here's how I do it.

1. Open PS and Ctrl-O to open image you wanna cut the head out of.

2. Select the magnetic lasso tool.

3. Use it to outline the head by clicking around it to create anchor points. The magnetic lasso makes it easy by kinda snapping to whatever you're outlining.

4. Right click and hit refine edge.

5. Play around with the settings until you get it how you want it. Press ok.

6. Press Ctrl-C, Ctrl-N, Ctrl-V. Right click the layer on the side and click blending options.

7. Click drop shadow and get the settings how you want em.

8. Click the layer visibility button for the background layer.

9. You may want to adjust the size of the smiley. Press Alt-Ctrl-I to make it smaller.

10. Press Ctrl-S, hit the format drop down box and save as PNG. Choose Interlaced.

Hey I'm trying to make my background transparent but when I upload it as an avatar or profile pic on boxden the background becomes white?

I have already cut out a head and then I create a new file with transparent background but still..?

nvm, fixed it. props for the guide

can anyone do this one into a smaller smiley, please?

yes, i am well-aware that it is a ridiculous request. thanks, though.

i love it, man. thanks so much.

Is There Any Program That Automatically Make The Cut For The Smiley

More often than not, the pen tool is your best bet.

Sometimes if you're lucky, there's a lot of contrast between the background the face (like a white backdrop for example), you can get away with a couple of clicks with the magic wand tool.

Alternatively, you can try a program like



But I doubt it'll work on low resolution images like most smileys.
