hello karina! i was wondering which method you use to cut out your sims in photoshop, if you don't mind me asking? your edits are so gorgeous and your cutouts are always so smooth! have a nice day :)

hello! :)

I use the magic wand tool to select the background, and then i use the refine edge tool to make the selection a little better. Sometimes i erase things manually with my old little mouse when these aren't good enough though, but they usually are.

Also (thanks to @flukysims!) i learned about this wonderful mod that lets you change the background color while in cas, and sometimes i use it in a bright color (almost brat green for example) to make things easier to select, just make sure that it's a color that isn't on your sims.

Here's an example of a selection i did using only the magic wand with 40% tolerance in a green background (1). As you can see, it does a a pretty good selection, and you don't even need to refine the edges (2).

and here's one with a white background (1), i used the magic hand tool again with 40% tolerance, but the selection was a little bit jagged (2), so i used the refine edge tool and the eraser to smooth it a bit (3).

These were the refine edge tool settings i used. You'll have to experiment with it, mostly the last three sliders. Make sure to open your image in 100% zoom so you can see what each of them does. because it depends on the size of the image you're using (the size of this last screenshot was 1240x900 px). I like to take screenshots with SRWE because it's easier to make a clean selection when there's more details. It isn't a necessary thing though! i just like to obsess over tiny pixels for no reason lol

I also recommend checking @nolan-sims editing section of her resources page here. I love how she edits her photos, and i'm grateful to have stumbled at that page when i did, i learned a lot from there!

Hope this helps, feel free to ask if something isn't clear. Have a nice day you too!

Updated rules today ... really wishing to get a better theme for this blog but gahhhhhhhhhh so hard. I never realized how hard it was to find edit buttons on this site. It use to be a quick click of the cog and boom... talk about a rabbit hole of clicking.

hi! i'm in loveeee with your tiktok edits and i just made a tiktok account with 2 videos edit of spencer reid (ofc)! but i wanna ask like where did you get all the spencer reid scenepacks?? because i've been trying so hard to find it but i don't have much 😭

HIII thank you thank you! I mostly use morganpacks, michspacks, and reidslovrpacks on ig but if you deep dive into the fandom there, there are actually a lot of scenepack accounts. So credit to them. Have fun editing!!
