After Effects :: Extract External Image In Layers And Color Path
Oct 21, 2013
Well, to join the two different parts i have choosen AE software (actually is After Effects CC).Well, as i said the animation and scenario are in a different project, and i have joined both in AE. But the scenario is not always just a landscape. Sometimes is a building that the actor walks on it, so i have (in some way) to put the actor "in" the building, and if i was working with images i would easly solve that problem: select and extract to another layer what i want to be in first place, or to be the landscape. At the same logic, how can i do this in After Effects CC?Can i extract some objects by color as i can do in Photoshop?
2º For storytelling reasons, i would like that , in some moment, everything turns gray , and the actor is colored. but there's more! i would like that the actor leaves a colored path (the path that he is taking in animation). Is there any way that i can do it?
If i cant do it, i have to re-build the entire animation in Cinema4D.

Once you've used a path to put type on, how do you get the path back? Everything I do to recover the path deletes it.

I've created a grid of around 80 individual text layers (each layer is a single letter) and first, I want to animate their opacity as a group, then INDIVIDUALLY animate their opacity (again) and color. How do I do this?
Also, while I'm asking, I have two simpler questions:
- is there a way to animate the color of multiple layers at once so I don't have to click on each individual layer and do it manually?
- how do I achieve a "swipe" opacity effect? If this is not clear I can explain but I won't bother for now.

Ever since the latest update to PS CS6, when I add a simple effect to a text layer, like emboss, the working image disappears when I zoom in and out. Also, the layer effect does nothing to the type. It's almost like a dispay issue. When I turn the layer effect off, my image is visible again.

I have a Photoshop file for a business card. I need to extract the logo. I am told that the file contains all the graphics and texts. All I see are the layers that make up the back of the card.
BTW: The file size is 9 MB…could there be hidden layer that I cannot access?

Is it possible with Cineware to get a 3D layer into AE CC so that I can add text (or other AE data) in the exact 3D position/rotation as the 3D element?
I can do this using 3ds Max and state sets. It saves out planes as 3D layers in AE so that I can precompose them and then drop text or other AE elements into the precomp and it will keep the exact position/rotation from the 3D file. Great for adding dynamic text to animations without having to go back to the 3D program.
I cannot see any way to get any data other than lights and camera into AE. I know I can use the camera data and then drop text in and move it whre it should be but this is rough and can take time and effor to get it to work without it rotating wrong due to the position not being exact.

I have PSE11 and purchased Paint the Moon effects. How can I view both the Layers panel and the Effects panel at the same time? Was this an option in older versions of PSE that are used in the Paint the Moon tutorials?

I'm in the process of prepping individual components of a design for Flash animation. I'm trying to apply a layer of #7C6844 with the color effect at 56% opacity and a layer of #999999 with the color burn effect at 12% opacity to the foreground image which has a transparent background. This task has proved to be rather impossible for me, but it seems like there should be a way to do it. I would use the wand tool > select inverse and apply the colors over top that way, but the foreground image has a lot of leaves and branches, so that method would be extremely tedious.
Is there a way I can select the entire image as a whole and leave out the background?
I'll attach the image and the desired result to further assist.

I've been taking photos with a homemade lightbox which includes a white background and I typically have to go into photoshop to make some adjustments to get the background pure white. When I'm snapping a photo of an all white object against an all white background, it looks rather nasty if you use the auto color tool.
So from my understanding auto color uses the lightest white and the darkest black and the reason the white/white scenerio doesn't work it because of a lack of black. So to combat this I've been creating a new layer and adding a little black with the rectangular tool and filling it with black. Now, I'd like to be able to delete this second layer once I've used the auto color feature but can't figure out how.

I'm on a mac and I'm trying to run the photoshop script "Layer Comps to Files" - which works fine .... UNLESS I'm connected to an SMB network drive with "users" in the path.
NOTE: I am not trying to save to the network drive!
NOTE: Each test I'm doing is exactly the same (other than which network drive is connected)
NOTE: Just having the network drive connected with "Users" in the path messes things up!
eg.
Script does NOT run if I have an SMB drive connected with "Users" in the path, e.g.: [URL]...As soon as I disconnect the SMB drive (I don't even have to close photoshop) the script runs perfectly fine.The script also runs FINE with other SMB network drives withOUT "users" in the path, e.g.:[URL]...
I found this thread from 2010 (which has never been resolved but is inconveniently read-only now) has the same issue with CS4 and it still isn't fixed in CS6:[URL]...

I have experienced the following behavior:
1. Adding Effects to a path applies the effect but the effect is not visible in the Appearance panel.
2. In conjunction with this, it appears that internal stroking of the object creates a weird offset. The stroking is visually incorrect. The stroke generally offset by -1 on each axis. If the object has had a rounding effect applied to it, some of the corners become mangled.

I'm looking for a way to replace a certain colour with transparency.
Exactly like the replace color/selective color tool, exept instead of changing the color to a diffarent colour, it is replaced with transparency.
I don't mean anything like the magic wand tool or removing one

I have an external drawing processor and one of the functions is to read the layers in an AutoCAd drawing and if the name matches freeze/thaw it. With modifications over the years I have had it working with 2002 through 2008. Now I'm getting errors. When I tru to use the Interop, I get "Call Rejected by Callee" errors, when I use the
ApplicationServices method to get the application and active document, I getI" Method 'GetEnumerator' in type 'Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.LayerTable' from assembly 'Acdbmgd, Version=18.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' does not have an implementation." errors.
Basically for the interop method I use this
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop Public Function GetAcadApp() As AcadApplication Dim progID As String = My.Settings.strAcadProgID Dim acApp As AcadApplication =

I made a graph in Illustrator. So I imported all of my layers as .ai layers, and I've come to a point in the tutorial where I'm supposed to convert the vector object into a path in After Effects, but when I right-click it the option isn't there.

I've been playing around with the gradient map tool, and love the randomize and noise option to give me nice looking gradients for my images.... my question is, is there a way to "extract" or "split" the colors of the randomized map into its separate colors as if I was creating them manually with the "solid" option?

Have to deepatch (cut out) a horse from this pic, but it's hairs are everywhere. Also, the background doesn't differ much.
Tried through channels, even quick mask pro 4.1, really run out of ideas, you tube can't help, no photoshop users that I asked can help. Can you, please?
Attached file is too small for you to see the details, don't know how to upload bigger image.

Attached is a .JPG I would like to modify. I have many drawing like this one that we would like to make into a catalogue.
I would like to make all theses doors the same image size with the a square transparent background.
I have figured out how to remove the background however when I try to adjust my image size it is still adjusting my canvas size.
What I have been trying to do is have a transparent background layer with the door image on a separate layer but I'm not having any luck.
I'm new to PS so my knowledge is limited. I'm using the CS4 extended version.

In Photofiltre, it's dead easy to extract the gray tones from an image to boost up the colours. It's often better than just increasing saturation or so.
But since I have Photoshop CS3 I'd like to do it there. It must be possible to do something like that too. But how?? I just can't find the right way?

I know this is a simple task if you understand masks better than I do but I normally slave away with max zoom and an eraser until I get the image extracted the way it looks good. Unfortunately for this image its going to be blown up and when I look at it the girl appears like she has been eaten around on all edges by termites.
