GIMP :: How To Cut Out Or Extract Object From Its Background
Aug 17, 2013
I'm new to GIMP and I'd like to know how to cut out or extract an object from it's background.
There's a fest being held at my college and I've been assigned to cut out the logo from the posters of the previous year (I've attatched a copy of it below). I've tried using the cut tool, the lasso and also the foreground selection tool. The cut tool and the lasso tool didn't work as the object is quite complicated whilst the foreground selection tool happens to coat the logo instead of the background. I've tried invert and it doesn't work. Is there any other way to extract the logo?

i have been doing HTML off and on for a few years but am really starting to get really heavy into it, as well as CSS and other tools...and have just discovered GIMP
i have an image..which happens to be my business card and to begin with, it was an .eps file, but i converted it to a .jpg...what i am wanting to figure out, and do with it is use it for my web page i am building
it has a background on it and on top of it it has my text...i am wanting to keep the text also, but my main concern is to use just the background for my website....how is extracting the back ground away from the text possible in GIMP and also saving the text as well.

How I extract a reasonably dark image from its background? Below are two identical images with white background.
But the preset color of my vistaprint business card is light blue. So I just want to paste the image from the links below onto a light blue business card if that is possible.
[URL]........
[URL]........
This is almost 100% what I want: [URL].......
but for some reason the resolution from this home made job comes out terrible at Vista Print so I have to do the card writing on their site and give them a better resolution image which the one in the first two links is.

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.

I have Photshop 5.5, and I'm having trouble extracting an object from the background. When I highlight the edges of the object, and click "preview", it shows the image but it is REALLY faint and it's all in black/white. Why wont it simply show the image the way it looks on the original? Why is it all fizzy and hardly visible?

is there any way to use data extraction and get the dimensions of the solid. Using dynamic blocks on 3d solid is not an option as far as i know. I tried using block with attributes and field which refer to a dimension line but it's too complicated and takes far more time than just check them by hand.

I have a TIFF file of a scanned microfilm page of a very old manuscript.
The background of the black fonts is gray, and it makes the reading of the text very hard.
My question is: is there a simple way to extract only the black fonts of the text, or otherwise to brighten up the background?

I like the 'Extract" feature for surfaces, where I get get the contours or boundary of a surface in PL form without having to explode the surface. I have not figured out how I can do that same thing for grading objects. So far I have been exploding grading objects and then remaking them. Seems cumbersome.

What is made in an exact moment (2:50) of the tutorial bellow, in which "history" pallet is used together selection to extract object. It seems to bring a better result than using "object extractor" tool.
So, my question is related to handling the "history" pallet as showed in 2:50 tutorial. It seems the "undo" is applied to the first "selection" action, but I couldn't make as in the tutorial. My PSP version is X4 and the tutorial version is X2. I don't know if something has changed and I am unable to make it in PSPX4.

I wish to have outline/surface of those nonsolid 3D object convert or projection into 2D lines that can be use later.
For solid object, its can be projecting the surface by FLATSHOT command. But for nonsolid object, this command is doesn't work and showing nothing when I tried.
These nonsolid object probably copy/export from other software ie. some analysis software.

I am trying to take a jpg file of an image, and write each RGB pixel color's value into a 3 component integer vector corresponding to the RGB components of the color for that pixel. For each pixel in the jpg, I wish to write the corresponding 3 by 1 integer vector into a matrix after which I plan to do a SVD decomposition of the newly constructed matrix to do an image analysis.
Any plug-in that allows one to efficiently iterate through each pixel in a jpg, and convert the pixel data to a RGB integer vector, and say write to a file?
Specific Details: I am using gimp 2.6 as my image editor, and wish to collect all the RGB 3 by 1 integer vectors (where each 3 by 1 integer vector corresponds to RGB color of exactly one pixel in the jpg image) into a matrix of integer so that I can do a reduced SVD decomposition of that matrix to analyse the pixel data: I wish to compare two similar images by using the SVD decomposition of integer matrices corresponding to the two images saved as jpg files pic1.jpg and pic2.jpg.

I am doing a head start in GIMP. That means i am pretty new to GIMP. I have a bunch of tasks to do.

´
Question: how do i do extract the exact colors - can i get the exact color scheme - some hexa-code or how would you do that!?

So I was making some pics less blurry using a method invloving grain extract, and in one pic I forgot a step and saved it in its grain extract mode. Is there any way to change the picture back into its original? It's too late to just press undo since I already closed GIMP.

I am attempting to create screenshots from an old video game and one part of the game includes a semi-transparent overlay layer that I would like to extract into its own image. I am able to render each layer separately in the emulator I'm using, but the screenshot tool is only able to export the final rendered image, so the transparent layer, when rendered alone, still results in a screenshot where it has been merged with the game palette's background color. I have managed to get 2 different copies of the overlay image using 2 different background colors, but I don't know the transparency percentage on the overlay. Is it possible to extract the original semi-transparent overlay with its original colors and transparency levels knowing the original background color? I can get more screenshots with different background colors if that would work. Also, the overlay only has a 5-color palette, so it's not a terribly complex image. I'm attaching the images I have with the background colors included as separate layers in each.

I recently saw on TV that someone had 2 nearly identical images - one with just the background, another one from exactly the same point of view featuring an object before the background.
He was then able to subtract the background so only the object in front remained. Is that possible with Photoshop as well? I have version CS3.

I was asked to cut out the background from a logo to make it transparent so the logo would look nice on a variety of backgrounds. I've been given a good quality jpeg file.
What I did was I selected (by colour) the background (white), inverted the selection, copied it and pasted as a new image.
It's all fine (the logo itself doesn't have any other elements) but there's still some whiteish/greyish outline around certain elements of the logo.
If I were to do it manually, it'd probably take ages. What would be the best way to accomplish it?

Gimp 2.6.8 on Linux openSUSE 11.3
I need to extract text and font from a text layer. No problem, I thought, with gimp-text-layer-get-text and gimp-text-layer-get-font.
But I find that the original text layer was cropped withplug-in-autocrop-layer. Nevertheless Gimp lets me edit the text with the text edit tool - after a confirmation dialog.
But I can't get the text with script-fu. Is there a way to manage it? There are many files involved.

I want to change a 1920-1080 p background, into a 1920 - 1200 background.
I don't want to re-size it or lose image quality, the background for this can be easily replicated through some simple editing (drawing strait lines with the paint brush tool, and basically filling in to expand the background) Is there a way to do this? Here is the picture I want to change:
[URL].....
I just want it so that the pin-wheel design extends outward as to make the entire image 1920-1200, rather then the 1920-1080 it is now. (without losing image quality of the center wheel.)

I selected an object (a hand) using the magic wand tool and filled it in, black. I want to select everything else in the image (other then the hand I just filled in), and fill it in white. What is the bes way of going about this? Can I fill in the hand white, and so some kind of inverse of the image? (The background is of an office, so lots of different colors and objects).

I can't remove the background from a logo I have created. I am using Photoshop Elements. I bought a book and I searched the help index's and I could not find how to do this. I'm somewhat new to Photoshop but not a very beginner. I created the logo on a transparent background, but when I save it there is always a square border around the logo, usually white. I just want a .jpg of the logo itself.

I have something to add (sort of) to it. I work with Horse Advertisements and I get requests asking me to remove a horse from the background (say, a winning background) and put it like in a field or just against another pic. Can someone help me in doing this. What tool is best to use? Ive tried the background eraser tool, but I leave gaps in my erasing and it looks really fake. If you look on my website, on the front page (its not an ad that I did) but it was done with photoshop. I asked the lady how she did it and she said that she did it with the pen tool. I know what the pen tool is, but I cant figure out how to cut the background out of it, and when I cut and paste it into another doc. it usually says (say I'm trying to put it into illustrator or indesign) it says that the Photoshop segment is too large to export. Then when it is the right size, it turns out to be really pixelized. (Its not very good quality.
