When I use the Lasso Select tool to Cut a selected image (in this case, a person from a photo), then paste them onto another photo, the pasted image is surrounded by an outline, so that it is not "seamless." How can I paste it so that it blends with the background, and does not have this outline, or border? I tried pasting into new layer, and pasting just straight into the destination photo. The objective is: Two family group photos of the same size, nearly identical in every way - need to cut person from one photo, paste into second photo that was taken seconds later, so that ALL the family is included in the photo.
When I cut out a group of people from a photo for the purpose of dropping them on top of a new background, I usually run into the same problem. Even tho' I may have set them on top of a concrete sidewalk or the likes, they still have that look of hovering or floating in mid air.
I'm fairly new to Photoshop. I'm trying to resize a image which I've pasted into a layer, I know how to Transform and rescale the image but I'd like to enter the width of the image in Pixels somewhere.
I'm designing an advert for a billboard, I've created an A4 landscape canvas and I'd like to put 5 images at the bottom of the canvas but I'd like to set them all to the same size which fits across the whole width of the canvas.
I am trying to paste an image into a comic I am making on GIMP. The image I am pasting is just a white face outlined in black. The background of the image before pasting (on the original site) is white (or maybe transparent). However, when I paste the image onto GIMP, the background changes to black, which envelops the black outline and ruins the picture. How can I paste this image so that the background remains white/transparent?
When I make a standard print of any object, I normally offer two or three views, I also include an isometric view of the object that I draw in a 3-D program, and I cut and paste a screen shot of that image into my Autocad file. I do this for the few of our Brothers who have a problem reading standard blueprints for their own reasons. After cut and paste, I find that the image quality is extremely poor, with ragged and unclear edges, I am not sure but I think the poor quality edges are called tesselation. Is there a solution to this condition?
I have stitched together a picture and cropped it to by 21"x7" so that it can be printed as three separate 7x5 photos and framed together to make a pano. Right now the "master" image is perfectly sized at 21x7. When I try to cut out the first 7x5 portion, it resizes to 5.25x3.75 when I paste into a new image. If I resize it from there it becomes distorted. I've been using the rectangle selector set to fixed size (7x5); and selecting cut from then paste into new image from the edit menu.
How can I get the pasted image to be the same size as the one that is cut?
I want to create a collage. I set a feather value, make a selection out of a 2nd image and paste it into another file. Pastes in fine, but when I try and grab the corner of the pasted layer and resize it to be smaller, for some reason (I have done this approach on 20 other occasions), it doesn't resize as a rectangle as it should. It starts to resize as an octagon type shape. The following link shows an example of a freshly pasted layer that I tried to resize. There must be some setting that got changed because I have done this across four different versions of paint shop
Example below that shows the big layer getting "bent out of shape". URL....
I'm trying to make an image with 2 layers: one is a circle that I'm using as a background (and everything outside the circle is transparent) and the other is a selection that I've copied that I want to paste over the background. Is there a way to make it such that the selection I'm pasting will only cover the background image and if any parts of the selection that I'm pasting go outside the background image into the transparent parts of the image that the transparent section will remain transparent?
I've been doing it an ad hoc way of just erasing parts of the layer that I'm using to paste and checking for transparency underneath but that's pretty time consuming. I assume there's a better way?
Also, vice versa: is there a way so that if I have a selection that has transparent sections that I paste over a background, that the selection I'm pasting will have it's transparent sections not overwrite none transparent sections of the background? I mean, outside of using magic wand to select everything except the transparent sections and just pasting the parts I selected using magic wand over.
After creating text in Draw X6, I can't drop it into Photo-Paint without it appearing to be improperly cropped; i.e., some outer edges of letters appear to be cut off (see example below). Converting the text to curves does not solve the issue.
Strangely, I have no problem if I copy the same text from Draw X5 - the results are excellent.

In my case, the entire image has now been cut, not just the pasted object.The reason I do this is because I'm working with two virtually identical pictures. On one picture there has been a modification which I wish to paste onto the other. I cut and paste but need to align the pasted object with the picture. So, I paste the object and move it; then cut and then paste it to check it's in the correct position. If it's out of alignment then the image appears to move. There may be other ways to do this but I find this way easy.
ive been tryin to figure this out for a while now ive read and tried a whole bunch of different tutorials and downloaded numerous programs photoshop corel etc and still cant get what i want the tutorials are most times too advanced and go above and beyond what i actually want to achieve i slimply want to be able to outline a simple or free form shape and pull the outline away from the image or have it appear in a separate window
i used the candy cane i am talking about is on this page of this website listed in step ten of how to draw a candy cane its positioned vertically and is all red (describing the image on the website) i simply want to place a black outline around this image which i can move around as a separate "shell" i can copy and paste at will which would be a shape in its simplest form i guess and example of what im describing would be a circle drawn using the ellipse tool in paint using black on a white background thats the type of outline im trying to achieve that same circle filled with red and removing the black lines is the type of image im working with now as you can see on the website
somethings i have tried using tutorials and suggestions from experiences users i added the candy cane shape to a blank document in photoshop selected it and then clicked the small flash icon which said add layer style and chose stroke and all that happens was two vertical red lines appear at the sides of the image window which as far as i could tell had nothing to do with the candy cane and produce no outline around the image.
I am running Photoshop CS5 on a Mac 10.8.4.I have basic photoshop experience. My designer has left me in the lurch at a daedline and I need to get some material to the printer ASAP.The design is finished.The printer wants all the text outlined and the images embedded then a "high quality PDF" submitted to print.how to outline text and imbed images. (I know how to savw to PDF).
When saving a pdf from Illustrator, close cropped PSD images have a dark edge of pixels in the final PDF. It looks like a black outline when viewed in Acrobat. I have since found if I flatten the transparency before saving as a PDF , it displays fine. Why is the PDF having problems with Illustrator’s use of transparency?
How can I set an outline for a text? This would be something similar to the very basic WordArt in Microsft word. Like if I simply want white text with a black outline.
I can't get outline object to work. I installed it by downloading, extracting, and cut/pasting the dll into the effects folder (c/programfiles/paint.net/effects), but no soap.
I have created a new layer mask of an image, but when I use the free transform tool to resize it so it is smaller, there is a faint grey outline left around the image. Why does this happen and how do I get rid of it?
I produce one outlined and filled alphabet letter per A4 page to create a sign for a shop window, changing the colours every three months. I use Outline Object for the outline. Is there a method by which the outline colour of a previous letter can be changed or must I recreate the letter if I require a different outline colour?
Every time I try to make a outlined text, the actual picture disappears after it renders.Here is what I do:
1. Open up picture in Paint.net 2. Make new layer 3. Type what i want on the new layer 4. I click effects->stylize->outline 5. adjust the settings 6. Boom, my picture is gone with the text looking gargled.
What is the correct way of adding outline to text?I tried the plugins and they do not work.
I was wondering if there was a graceful way to change a thick stroke or outline in PS CS6? Normally I would be lazy and just use the paint bucket tool, but since this is for a higher profile client than I am used to, and it is a for print project (I normally do web projects) the quality is just not good enough. The lines I want to change are the yellow outlines of the yellow hand in the following logo:
Currently, the best approach I can think of is going back into AI and changing the outlines and strokes there, however that is going to be a lot of work because of the way in which different objects overlay each other means a lot of slicing, cutting, and moving things around. Is there an easier way to do this in PS?
I have a question about using the outline trace function and resolution of images.
Say for instance, I am trying to create an existing logo for a customer in which I have to pull the image off the internet. I am unable to find an image that is high resolution, so I pick one with a lower resolution, because after all, I am going to trace the logo to cut out on my cutter with a heat transfer application. It is a simple design, a heart for instance. So when I use Corel Trace, no matter how small beforehand I make said heart, when it traces it comes out jagged, like the pixelation you see on a low res image. Is there any way to smooth this out? Or do I just need to look harder for a higher res image?
I remember seeing a post about a plugin which allows you to remove the background from an image...
Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the plugin....
Or if you can point me to a Tutorial that deals specifically with removing a background colour from a complicated image i.e. an image with a complicated outline...
