I have a series of postage stamps whose overprints need to be lifted from the underlying design so they can stand alone for study and publication. You will receive high-resolution scans (600 dpi TIFFs) of each stamp; I need the overprint from every image returned on a transparent background, perfectly aligned to the original pixel grid and true to the stamp’s printed colour. Please keep edge detail sharp, avoid haloing, and deliver either layered PSD files (background + isolated overprint) or individual PNGs—whichever workflow you prefer—as long as the overprint sits on its own layer. A short note on your masking or vector-tracing approach plus one processed sample from my test scan will serve as the proof of concept before we move to the full batch. Once the sample is approved, you can tackle the remaining images in one or two milestones. Accuracy matters more than speed, but a realistic turnaround time would be appreciated.

Hi Ahmed, this is Helgi. This is exactly the job I built for you last round, so you already know the output and I already know your constraints. The approach: I separate the overprint from the base stamp on the colour axis, in LAB space, where the overprint ink and the underlying print sit in different parts of the b-channel. That isolates the overprint on its own, aligned to the original pixel grid, true to the printed colour, with no resizing or warping. I deliver it on a transparent background so it stands alone. Just as important is what I do not do, which I know matters to you: no sharpening, no edge enhancement, no haloing, and no morphology that would repair or close broken strokes. Faint ink stays faint, breaks stay broken, true to the source. You can have it as transparent PNGs with the overprint on its own layer, or layered files with background plus isolated overprint, whichever you prefer. For the proof of concept: send your test scan and I will return one processed sample plus a short note on the masking, so you can approve the technique before the full batch. Then the rest in one or two milestones as you laid out. Accuracy over speed, understood. Happy to give you a firm turnaround once I see the batch size.
