Intelligent Scissors

The intelligent scissors application that was developed for the project was used to create a mask that isolated Slender Man from the background.

Mask

The saved mask. Using Adobe Photoshop the mask was used to select the background from the original image (both the mask and the original image were placed in the same workspace, the magic wand tool was used to create a selection that selected the background).

Isolated Slender Man

Using the saved mask and Adobe Photoshop the background was deleted.
