how do I cut out an image from the background so that I can stikc it cleanly onto another background?
Also to blend the ages of one image into the background/layer where the edges will not be so strong and noticable?
I'm not sure how this is done in Photoshop, and have not yet seen any tutorials on it. I was wondering if someone could provide me with some pointers.
There are two questions for this topic, first I want to describe what I'm working on then I'll ask the questions.
I took a picture of my daughter on her first birthday riding a stuffed horse.
I then found a picture of a horse for sale on the internet and wanted to cut my daughter out and put her on the horse.
I also took a picture out my front door. and I want to put the horse in my front yard.
I'm merely doing this as a self-tutorial as I am trying to learn Photoshop - I don't have any goal with the pictures other than to learn how to accomplish two things.
1) When cutting out the horse, and my daughter for that matter, I have an issue with the hair. In the original picture the horse's tail is dangling over lush grass. I live in the desert - so I either will need to cut out some of the tail or learn how to dissolve the green from the tail. Is there a way to accomplish this in photoshop?
2) The second issue is lighting issues. The original pictures of the horse and my daughter were taken on bright sunny days. The picture in my front yard was taken overlooking a storm coming in from the mountains in the distance. So I need to learn how to blend the images correctly to fit into the stormy picture.
How do I create cutouts that maintain their irregular shape, instead of placing them on a white background when I save them? I'm trying to create images that aren't squares that can be printed on shirts.

I want to take a picture of the outline of a person (see picture 3) and cut out the center of the picture over another picture. That was I have the form of the person with the background of the second picture. But I can't figure it out. I tried to "select inverse" after using the magic lasso tool but I don't get the cut out, just a line

What I need to do is to create a template, a Wordpress Header, which has a circular cutout through which the client's logo can be seen.
Attached is a sample of the type of thing I mean, this one has square cutouts, but I need to create a circular cutout. I am aware that I can do it by creating a transparent layer, then drawing a circle and manually erasing the contents of the circle, but that is time-consuming and not very professional looking unless I zoom in to 1000% and use a small width eraser, which would take forever.
Basically I want to put a picture onto a video game controller.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have noticed with PS CS2 that when I make an image with the gradient tool that it leaves horizontal lines on the image.
If I'm working with the gradient tool it does not leave a clean image. There are always some vertical, horizontal, or angulared lines ,,,or even circular lines that I don't want in my images.
When I make the images in CS2 and view them, it's fine. But after I save it and open it up in something else or CS2 later, the lines appear on the image.
How do I make an image so that it does not have the horizontal marks or lines in it.
After using the Filter Extract and Magic Lassoo methods to erase a background of say a model, I usually end up with lots of artefacts.
I then use the backgound erase to remove these. But I find it very time consuming as they do not show up that well on the standard grey checkerboard background.
how to see artefacts easier ?

I'd like to digitize this image and make it more professional and clean. I've tried image trace in illustrator and many adjustments in Photoshop. Here is my result:
Much better than what i started with but still not professional and clean enough for branding.
I have seen some design of text that is very clean but for some reason, my text has some kind of feather on it. I have tried to change different properties of the text but it doesn't work. As you can see in the image, the first button, the text is very clean (got it from a website) compared to the second one.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am prepping a character for cut-out animation, in Photoshop CS6. I am at a stage when i need to clean up layer edges (all the artwork is bitmap and created in Photoshop with brushes) I had tried zooming and rubbing out , any noticeable debris around the artwork, but i watched a tutorial where a person set up a function key which displayed a red border around the opaque parts of the layer, which is just what i need, for efficient clean-up.
Unfortunately, it wasn't explained in the tutorial how it was done. I have searched and searched, but i don't even know what the action is called in Photoshop that does that.

I have a bunch of print-outs of old documents that came from a microfilm copy. I need to include them in a report, so I need to scan them in. I have tinkered with various settings (100 dpi - 300 dpi) and of course I would like to keep them small sized. At 300, one came in at 10 MB which is absurd.
My second problem is that part of the print-outs are really difficult to read--it's usually one section that has a lot of mid-tones. I can use levels and curves somewhat, but they seem to affect the whole document.

I have multiple pictures of the same product but had to focus on different parts to get those parts in focus. As you can imagine, this meant other parts were out of focus.
I seem to remember during one of the "CS3 is cool" seminars I attended that something along the lines of what I'm hoping to do is possible.
I would like to merge these images together to form one image with everything in focus. Exposure is the same on each of them.
Is this possible (and if so, how) or am I dreaming?
I screen capture a web page I want to modify and plop new text on it. But the fonts in my screen capture are more crisp than the text I type in Photoshop! The fonts I type in Photoshop look blurry, fat, messy, "like crap" - even though I set my anti-aliasing to "crisp".
Is there a better way of getting cleaner text to display?
Is there a 3rd party plugin I could use or something?

A family member scanned an old photo of my great grandparents and sent it to me. I would like to work on it in PS, but I'm not sure which tools would be the best to use for this.
Someone seems to have wiped off some dirt in the middle, but it's not well done at all. The first thing I would do, is to set the Levels, and perhaps have a go with the Clone Tool, but if any of you can suggest other tools, I'll try to clean it up. I will also see if I can get a photo with the whole frame on.
