How Do I Turn a Picture Into a Silhouette in Paint?

Using Paint for Windows, it is possible to turn a picture into a Silhouette with a few simple steps. A Silhouette is an image that has been edited to show only the outline of the object, or person in the image. This method can be used to create interesting effects and to highlight important elements in an image.

The first step is to open up the picture you wish to convert into a Silhouette in Paint. Once the image is open, select the “Select” tool from the Home tab on the top left corner of the window.

Now drag your cursor over the area of the image that you want to make into a Silhouette. You will notice that a dotted line now appears around this area.

Next, select “Invert Selection” from the Select drop-down menu located at the top of your screen. This will cause everything outside of the selected area to become highlighted instead. Now click on “Fill with Color” from within this same drop-down menu and choose black as your color.

At this point, all areas outside of your selected box will be covered in black and all that will be left are the outlines of your chosen object or person. To finish off your Silhouette, select “Edit Colors” from within this same drop-down menu and choose “Brightness/Contrast” from its options. Adjust these sliders so that you achieve your desired results.

Conclusion:

Turning a picture into a Silhouette in Paint is relatively easy and straightforward. All it takes is selecting an area of an image and then inverting it before finally adjusting brightness/contrast sliders to achieve desired results.
