How to remove black backgrounds[edit | edit source]
For statblocks sometimes it's necessary to upload a transparent screenshot of an in-game model.
If you don't know your way around Photoshop you can just use Remove.bg website to do it for you for free. It scales the image down but it doesn't matter for infobox purposes.
- Go to Remove.bg.
- Upload the image with backround you need to remove (either by drag and dropping or simply Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V).
- Wait for result.
- Click on the blue Download button.
- Upload the image to the wiki and don't forget to rename it to Character_name_Model.png
If the result erased too much or not enough, you can Edit it on the website to Erase/Restore features.
In the Template:CharacterInfo you can add the Transparent Model images as the main image if it's a nameless Creature. Otherwise, if it's a named character you'll need to fill in these attributes:
| alt-name = Model
| alt-image = [[File:Character_name_Model.png|200px]]
