It's because it's not so easy to extract things from a background, even such a simple one. Because I don't know exactly what the difference between Gimp and Krita is (and I believe that Krita have alpha values for selection overall, but in Gimp it's somehow more. (Basically I believe that the selection will take all those cyan area, only half of the pixel if pixel is half in the way between cyan and cyan + margin (treshold? acceptance? whatever it's called, you can adjust it in tool options), nearly nothing when the cyan begins to fade into nothingness and nothing when there are different things, not cyan. You can probably by-pass it using masks and such things, but I can't tell you the exact order of things to do that will work without losing those alpha data. But I believe it would work the way you want in Gimp, but not in Krita, because somehow Krita sometimes loses the alpha of selection? I don't really know because I never compared them side-by-side, but after working on Gimp and converting to Krita (with huge time gap between them and with different reason to use software) I realized that Krita's selection doesn't work as well as Gimp's ones because of the alpha.

with Magic Wand/Contiguous Selection Tool) and then erase everything inside the selection.

So even rendering with white background and color-to-alphaing it later will be better than rendering with cyan and trying to remove it from the picture. It works ok with white (because it's neutral), but with other colors - not so much. The color-to-alpha red tint happens because program somehow changes colors of all pixels depending on the chosen color. My result using Krita, and not using Color to Alpha -> You can also paint the transparency mask of the fill layer too. Paint the areas you do not want affected by selecting the mask, and paint darker colors to it. To remove the remaining colors of the bottom layer, you can add desaturate filter mask and set to luminosity. Follow next step if you want some more removals of color.

Then, separate the image using Image > Separate Image.Ĭopy Merge only the A* Channel and paste into the RGB Document.

You don't need another software to do this, but to do this in Krita.:Ĭopy that image into a new document, and convert to LAB.
