I am trying to replace the head from one photo with the head from another. I was able to remove the background of the top head using the lasso, but when I create a layer and bring it to my background pic, there is a white area around it. I have tried Grim Color Reaper, but it is wiping out part of the pic I'm overlaying. I think this is due to the fact that the pic has some off-white and the background is now white and they are being read the same. I've also tried the Magic Wand, but seem to have the same issue.
I have imported a photo of myself onto paint, is it possible to cut out the shape of my head. I have tried with other programs and I can manage this only in rectangulat form. ie, head cut out on white rectangular backround.
I'm trying to remove the blitz shadow from head and body on a white/grey background, with the Lasso tool. The adjustments with Brightness/Contrast in the chosen area works like a charm, however I always get a nasty pixeled or whitelined boarder going constantly around the edited area; no matter if it boarders to a black area (shoulder) or a gray one (wall behind person).
I've tried to edit the primary/secondary color, with no luck. Any way to make this boarder "blend in" to the new brightness area - or to just remove it? The edited area is somewhat identical to the old background, so there is no natural reason to why it should be a constant boarder.
Or is it a better (and easy!) way to remove blitz shadow from a black and white picture?
How to use blending modes. The immediate question is using an overlay layer for dodging and burning. Photoshop has the capability to add a new overlay layer then fill it with neutral light then do the dodging and burning on that layer rather than on a copy of the foundation layer. Does PS Pro have a similar capability?
I searched on [URL]... for "dodge burn", and the first two links that came up pointed me to a post entitled "Faking Soft Brushes and the Blur/Dodge/Burn Tool." Maybe I'm not reading it correctly, but it seems that to use that technique you need to use three layers and the Clone Stamp tool. But why not just use the technique described here
[URL]....
where you create a 50% gray (hex 808080) layer, change the Blending mode to Overlay, lower the Transparency-Alpha of the Primary or Secondary color way down (depending on whether you are burning or dodging), and paint on the new layer? Is the other technique better?
I try to make a blurry/transparent overlay simply a picture which makes only certain regions of a screen/picture blurry if I use it as overlay, I've already tried everything I can in PDN but I don't know how to do this. Here is a picture how it should looked with the overlay:
only this areas shuld be blurry-transparent the rest should be completely transparent so that I can use it as overlay for livestreaming I don't want that u make one for me I want a how to
So I was oot and aboot yesterday and I took a series of pictures of a drummer in action. It was a rapid series, like five pictures covering five seconds of him rocking out. I want to combine all those five pictures into one ... "master" picture. My idea for the "master" picture is one single picture, where you can see his arm and body movements (and the drum cymbals moving) from all the five pictures.
That's probably a terrible way of describing it, but that's what I want to do.... I tried layering the pictures together as overlays, but while that combined all the images together, the end result was too blurry to make anything out.
Photos adjusted using Process Version 2003 incorrectly display a “Post Crop Vignette: Paint Overlay” History step. Selecting a subsequent History State can reset existing settings that follow that state in the History panel. This reset cannot be undone, effectively deleting any settings that have been applied after the selected History State. This only occurs with images adjusted in PV2003.And up until today, I was indeed seeing this Post Crop Vignette: Paint Overlay history step on my Process Version 2003 photos.
Today, I downloaded and installed Jeffrey Friedl's Data Explorer Plug-In, and I used it to create a collection which contained all of my photos that are Process 2003, so I could go through them and see if any would benefit from using Process 2012.
Lo and behold, I see my process 2003 photos now do NOT have this history step, as you can see in the attached screen capture (the history does not show this step, and at the top right, under the historgram, the photo is clearly PV 2003).have I misunderstood something, or did Jeffrey inadvertently provide a work-around, or something else?
My question is this - can I put a mirror-like overlay on my subjects eyes without taking away anything from the color and character of my subject? I tried with the wavy mirror effect but it didn't turn out. I am trying to turn this actor into a very scary yet sexy vampire ( I'm trying for something a little different). I know I need to do a lot of touching-up but am not sure as to what is the best technique. I did lighten his skin using the "colored eye" technique...I think I need to lighten it up more.
Another question - How do I get a realistic blood spatter look (wet liquid look)?
I was checking out the CS6 product page, especially wanting to see the uprgrade pricing (I currently own CS4 Design Premium full suite). I had not really investigated the Creative Cloud thing before, so I went through the FAQs. I'm still not sure if I want to go that route, or stick with the perpetual license thing.
You are assured of always having the most up-to-date versions, and can add any app at any time. I currently use Photoshop and Illustrator way more than the rest of the apps in my suite, but it is nice the rest are there when I need them. Who knows, I might really get into Premeir Pro or Audition.
The Cloud basically offers everything in the CS Master Collection. The question is, "Is it a good value (for me) (or you)?" It seems it's a better deal the more apps you use. In my case, comparing the cost of an upgrade to the Master Collection (which I likely wouldn't buy otherwise) would give me 2 3/4 years of the funtionality for the same price. Pretty good, even considering Adobe's new 24-month release cycle.
But compared with the Web and Design Premium upgrade, which would be the version I probably would buy, it drops down to less than two years functionality. But, I would gain the ability to add apps as my needs may change.The fact that you have to keep on paying to continue to use it is a definite turn-off, but not that much worse than the new one-version-back upgrade policy.
So, I have more thinking to do before I make up my mind. I would like to hear thoughts from those who have decided, particularly from those who have decided to get Cloudy. What were the main things that led you to that decision? Or against it?
how to edit images of people like for example cuttin the head in photoshop and replacing it with other people's head and i wana make it look as realistic as possible .. like blending to the real picture ...
I have a photo of a puppy, where just the top of the head where the hair is, is cut off - out of the camera shot. When using the quick selection tool and placing this image on a new background, the top therefore has a flat line at top. Which is the best feature to try to replace what was cut off in that original photo (shown below) ? Would that be the content aware patch tool? Or would you just use the paintbrush to try to paint it in? With all the subtle colors, that is difficult.
Ok so I have a family photo. Able to now move the heads around by creating separate layers for each. Just trying to figure out to do with the "white" areas that are left behind due to the varying sizes of the heads. So when I switch the head I have all this extra white space left behind from the prior head. What tool is best to cover up the white area with say the background behind the head ? Clone stamp doesn't seem to work inside the white area.
I just bought photoshop CS3. I have been working with Adobe Photo Deluxe 4.0. I know how to use that software, but I am completely lost in Photoshop. I'm trying to bring up two differet pictures. I want to crop out the head of someone in one picture, and place it on the body of my second picture. I know how to do it in Adobe Photo Deluxe 4.0, but I am completely lost on how to do it in PhotoShop.
usually i can do this fine, but the neck and body part and face skintones are different and i cant match them. also the view of the face is at an angle. is there away i can make the face, look at the camera more? feel free to copy image and edit.
I am a student of Interactive media and my latest project requires me to build a character model in 3DS.
I am currently tryingt o texture the head of the mode with the use of a bitmap. When I add this to the materials editor the bitmap appears. If I then add this material onto the model the whole model turns grey. But when I come to render the model the bitmap appears on the model.
How can I add the texture from the materials editor ont the model and it too appear on the model for me to use a UVW map?
