=Image Editing methods=

File:HW_Magic_Jar.png transparency fix
Layers:
 * Insert image as layer (do not edit)  ( top  )
 * Insert image as layer (picked the most prominent background color, dark green kinda, for Color to Alpha)
 * Create exact same dark green layer (to crop/trim)
 * Create white layer
 * Create ZeldaWiki blue layer
 * Create black layer                   (bottom)

Process:
 * Do it as usual,
 * For splotches of background the color-to-alpha left behind in the colour-to-alpha'd layer, use the eraser tool to 100% remove them, then smudge or clone to fill the gaps
 * Using the white layer, since the background was a dark colour (instead of white as previously) Use this to compare with the original when trimming the dark green layer to shape
 * Can use anti-erase
 * Use varying levels of opacity for the eraser
 * Use instinct and judgement

Layers:
 * Insert image as layer (do not edit)   (    top   )
 * Insert image as layer (Color to Alpha) (2nd top  )
 * Create white layer (to crop/trim)     (3rd bottom)
 * Create ZeldaWiki blue layer           (2nd bottom)
 * Create black layer                    (    bottom)

Process:
 * For the 2nd top layer, Colors\Color to Alpha... to change white to alpha.
 * Erase using Free Select Tool, with feathering at 3, and deleting a few times
 * When arrive at the white houses (really annoying), then use feathering 2, then delete only once (or twice)
 * Can use anti-erase with the rectangle shape. A tiny bit of the blur tool when doing this sometimes

Aim:
 * Removed background and transparency only to a moderate degree (since there are a lot of frames) and cropped to reduce size.

Method:
 * Since I found this daunting, here's my method:
 * Using GIMP, for each frame individually:
 * Create new layer, and make it the same colour as the Zelda Wiki background (so one can see how the edges will look)
 * For each layer, have this coloured layer underneath it
 * Use "Fuzzy Select Tool" on background, set "Feather edges" to radius of 4.9, then press delete 4 times, and also use "Layer\Autocrop Layer" in the main window.
 * Alternatively, one can spam delete multiple times until it seems right.
 * Next, use "Image\Fit Canvas to Layers" in main window, to shrink the total size.

Layers:
 * Insert image as layer (do not edit) (top)
 * Insert image as layer (2nd top)
 * Create White (3rd bottom) and black layer (bottom)
 * Create ZeldaWiki blue background layer (2nd bottom)

Process:
 * For the 2nd top layer, Colors\Color to Alpha... to change white to alpha.
 * This will make the image body transparent also, but with the white below it all it looks like original.
 * Now keeping the 2nd, 3rd and 4th layers visible only, erase the background from the white layer, which will look as if we are erasing the background as normal. HOWEVER, remember that if you erase the body of the image, the transparent body will show on top of the blue background instead of disappearing
 * After most done, swap to black background to evaluate extent of white-ness that still remains, then erase untill it looks adequate on black background, and then it should also look ok on the blue background

Erasing tools:
 * You can anti-erase with the eraser!
 * Hardness 75 opacity 60 size 6 eraser
 * Rectangle select tool with Feather edges 2 ("delete"'d multiple times until satisfied)
