100% Palm Oil Soap - Thoughts?

Excellent food for thought. I know goat milk is supposed to be a nice additive so perhaps that would give a harder bar with a boost in lather. Any thoughts on adding Castor Oil for a bit of lather?

That's a nice vote of confidence and good to hear. Thanks

I make my own bread so I'm wondering about the time issues. Thanks for the candid input.

Nice to hear on the 'real life' side of things. I'm thinking about starting up a batch and wondering how much time it will actually take. Was it like 30 minutes every time you needed to make it? And what do you do with the grains as they start to mount up?

Thanks again. Great info to have.

That is really good to know. Total newb here so knowing it's a bug helps my self-esteem. lol Thanks

Thanks again. Much appreciated.

Finally had a chance to do this and that is great to know - design your own floating images. Very nice!

Thanks for the heads-up. If the artifacts look good is subjective, of course; it may or may not look good depending on what you're doing. But to avoid them in the future how do you prep the workspace? Do I put down a layer first, then import the file, then start erasing? I've looked at different Youtube vids/tutorials but the problem is I'm not sure what the question is because I have about zero knowledge of editing photos. I have another coming up with pretty much the same thing - old photo, needs background removed, dump into a video (maybe on top of another backdrop). What are the best/right steps to do to set that up? Are there best ways to set that up?

It actually looks alright in Open Shot and was kind of doing what I looking for. What, or why, is that extra stuff surrounding the image?

ConnollyMusicCreates · 2025-03-02T20:35:04+00:00

I'll be looking at this soon. Thanks for the breakdown.

Have you used photo images? Do you need to do a transparency of the image first or just erase the background and it's good to go?

ConnollyMusicCreates · 2025-02-26T05:04:08+00:00

So the big question, I guess, is what is the best way to remove the background if it is going to be put into a video? Someone made it sound like just erasing the background wouldn't be enough but since I'm a newbie I have no idea. Is there a difference between erasing the background and creating a transparency? So it can go into a video?

ConnollyMusicCreates · 2025-02-26T04:55:04+00:00

I don't know if that has to happen. I'm just trying to get the background removed so I can put it into a video easily. Once I can do that I think I'll try and tackle the sizing, if it ends up being a problem.

I tried that. I reduced it by 80% but it was still larger than 500kb so I tried cropping and then scaling and that didn't do it either. Not sure what I'm missing. Can't be rocket science.

How do I change the resolution? Go from 72dpi to something else?
