Remove contours from images?

Postby Ferinex » Thu Oct 28, 2021 1:36 am

What's a good technique or filter to use to reduce the number of contours/edges in an image I want to use as custom imagery in the game? I have GIMP and irfanview but I suppose I could work my way through a photoshop technique in GIMP
i guess they never miss huh

removing outlines, eh? Converting image to vector, editing shapes and rasterizing it back might do a trick
Decreasing amount of fields on full 24-bit RGB image will need different approach tho

Some example of source images would be helpful

I'm going to give this a shot, and mvgulik your link was helpful as well thank you! I was able to do quite a bit of complexity reduction following that guide. Reducing the palette to indexed values and connecting fields of the same color especially helps
