Cut Out & Overlay Method

How To Glitter fill just the dress of this image:

I took the Betty Boop Image and composited it on a white background 85x210.

You want the white image you are compositing on to be a little larger than the Betty Boop image.10 pixels all the way around is fine.

NOTE: The BettyBoop image has a clear background.
See the grey around her?

After you composite the BettyBoop
On the white background you will
be brought back to "Paint"

Then in Paint set the "Fuzz" to 9999
Set Paint Type to "Matte"
Set Method to "Replace"
& matte out the red of the dress
Matte means to make transparent or clear

If it mattes out too much back up and lower
your numbers to little up the numbers

Here is what the Paint screen looks
like inside of ImageMagick

YES it looks BLACK. Our Webtv Default screen color is BLACK. Most PC's the Background Default color is white or grey.

Hence the name of the technique.
"Cut Out & Overlay Method"

I now take the same blank white back I composited the boop image on The 85x210 white background and composite the glitter tile "ATOP" "center" across & down the image canvas.

So what you would have is the 85x210 white background completely covered with the glitter. Like this:

...+.. ...=..

Back to composite:

With these two images

...+..

Red glittered tile of 85 & 210 and the matted out red of the dress URL to "overlay" it on top of the 85x210 glitter tile.

I composited the matted out red of the dress "over" "center" the Red glittered tile of 85 & 210 to get this end result. The glitter will show through the transparent parts of the dress.
