Photoshop :: Cutting Out The Main Part Of The Image
Nov 2, 2007
I have been wondering how do I isolate the main part of the image to be able to cut it? I know I can obviosly lasso it..but is there a shortcut? or an action that could be used?
I have downloaded an eps file, which I need to cut. I use a graphtec ce5000-60 cutter, and a plugin called cutting master 2 in order to use coreldraw.
when i select application launcher and choose cut / plot, it opens cutting master. when i do this, it only shows the 2 outer lines of the logo i need to cut. I have attached a screenshot so you can see exactly what I mean. I have tried lots of things to recitfy this, but as a complete beginner with this software, I really dont have a clue.
I use Illustrator CS6, I used the pen tool to create an elipsoid "shape" by creating a path and giving it stroke and fill, I made a second one ot top of the first, now the second one covers the first at about mid level and I want to cut the top part of the first shape/path, that is showing, off.
I have tried with various methods but with strange results.
I've got a machine designed that has a couple hundred parts - originally built as one main assembly (with a number of weldment subassmblies). The problem is that the BOM is too large to feasibly have on the drawing and still show assembly detail. I'm trying to avoid a multi-sheet configuration.
So I've grouped certain items and demoted into subassemblies. The problem is that all the subassemblies are attached to a main frame- and I'd like to show this frame in each of the subassemblies as a reference. Is there a way to add a "phantom" copy of the framework to each of the subassemblies to that it can be seen? (and the assembler can see how the subassembly is mounted on the frame) Otherwise all these parts are just floating in space on the subassembly (and constraints are lost on the subs).
I'd like to keep the frame on the top assembly, as it may be customized for future machines, while using the same subassemblies.
Im building a bracelet, and I built the bottom and top half in 2 files. After assembling them and putting on my pivot point I wanted to use the shape of the tip from the top half to make a matching depression in the bottom half.
I`ve just installed Inventor student and I can`t use it at all since I can not see anything in the main screen! I`ve installed, reinstalled and nothing
I`ve attached two screen shots - hovering over the main screen I get the options and data showing like the correct thing is happening - just nothing visible!
I am using Photoshop CS4 on a 32bit vista Q6600. When I installed CS4, I had a graphics card based on a 8600GS. Photoshop run fine, even in openGL.
Not I upgraded the graphics card to a 9600GT for better performance. CS4 still starts, but when a photo is loaded, the photo appears correctly in the navigator, but the main window where the photo usually appeared remains grey, as the background. When moving around this window, the photo appear, but as soon as I release the mouse button, the window turn grey again...
When I deactivate openGL in CS4, everything seems to work.
I am having the latest NVidia drivers installed 178.24 (with both graphics cards).
The project involves me cutting out pieces of various images, and pasting them into one main image. It was going fine for the first ten or so image pieces, but the last time I tried to do it, something very strange happened.
When I pasted the piece of an image into my main image, it came out red and transparent.why it's doing this because I didn't change anything or do anything differently. What can I do to fix this?
I am making a video in Nero Vision 10 and need to cut out the screen of a tv so that I can layer the TV over an image/video so it looks as though it is on the screen. I enclose a screenshot of the project. 'Transform-tools-crop' only cuts in straight lines so I wonder which device I should use which can cut out an odd bespoke shape? You can see in the uploaded image from the project how the image currently cannot fill the frame without covering it.
I have read somewhere that i should use the regular lasso to cut images, but that is a a lot of work if i have an big image.
So i was thinking if someone have any tip or in another way , maybe someone wanna cut the image out for me i am a bit shaky on my hand when i use the lasso-tool so its hard to get it good even if i zoom, and besides that ,is the cut-job ,well its important,
but its a thing that i wanna get over as soon as possible so i can start being creative ill post the image i will work with (its only the shape i want) it will be bigger in reality but i had to take a smaller pic of it to get it posted :
I raise chinchillas and would like to cut out some images and just change the background on others. Being that it is a fur animal (samples below) and it has all different lengths and curves....how would I do this? I'm new to photoshop other than playing with curves and stuff to make them nicer photography.
I am trying to cut out the black and grey glow in this image. I have tried everything I know (lasso, magnetic lasso, magic wand, eraser) and nothing has worked.
I have just installed Elements 12. I went to open some jpeg images. They appear in the Photo Bin but can't be made to appear in the main window. The Layer Panel shows the background copy of the images.
I'm having trouble cutting out a image so i can add to a background. I've tried the magic lasso tool.with no luck also i've tried the wand with no luck.should be a simple thing to do but just can't catch on.
I recently bought Photoshop Elements 5.0 for the purpose of making art layouts for CDs(cover,inserts,traycard). My question is, I would like to take a band logo and cut it to place it on the cover, on top of the background image like this,
first, template second, background image
on top(third), band logo
I would like to cut the background out of the band logo(or whatever I don't need) and be able to use the logo by itself and place it on the background image(2nd). What is the tool to do this with Elemets 5.0? I have not been able to find it.
I'm a photoshop noob but am learning fast. I'm having a bit of trouble doing something that I imagine to most of you is quite straight forward.
Basically, I have a square image (3000px x 3000px) and I want to cut out an exact circle from the centre of the picture. So I choose the Ellipitcal marquee tool and place my cursor approximately in centre of the picture, hold down SHIFT and ALT and drag to the desired circle size. Next I press V to bring up the alignment toolbar hoping that I could centre the selection to the exact middle of the picture but I can't. PS won't allow me to select any of the alignment buttons.
After this I want to take the CUT image and paste as a new image so that I have a just the circle and it's contents and no rectangular background. I'm sure PASTE will do this but I can't get this far.
I want to crop a square section from an image, using the rectangle tool, under options i choose square but then it blacks out the section of the image and is not movable, in PSP7 when doing a similar action, this square part of image is movable, how can i make this the same in photoshop?
I'm trying to change an image's main color (see attached). The image has a white, wavy "thread" running along the bottom.
is there a way of changing the green to another color and keep the white thread? I'll have to eventually make several versions of different 'main' colors, all keeping that 'thread'.
[the actual image is 3000 x 600 px; a continuous 'wave' pattern like the sample.]
I have been using lightroom 4. At first it decided that the center image just wouldn't display on some photos. The previews look fine, the selected photo preview seemed to work, but the center image would just gray out like there was no photo at all. I tried to uninstall several things, updated my video drivers, even changed virus protection just in case but nothing worked.
I have the creative cloud, so I uninstalled version 4 and upgraded to version 5. Went into my catalog and almost exactly the same thing started happening. This time, I can see unedited photos, but if I apply a preset the image disappears again. If I click off the photo and click back I can see the image unedited in the main window and the previews show it with the edits. Sometimes I can see the edited photo but at low resolution, but it will not sharpen up to the full image. I even cleared my preview cache just in case but nothing seems to be working.
I don't want to have to re-install windows just to try fix this.I should not that the only thing that changed is that I installed a new Epson printer in windows. I have now uninstalled all but the driver for that printer and still have the issue.
In short all I want to do is take people out of images that I have and paste them all together in new images and add a background colour. Is there a function to cut them out, do I have to sellect them piece by piece.
I have a jpg image that has a table of contents on it. I want to slice it horizontally by each topic (8 topics) so I can export the eight new images. Eventually I will be inserting the images into Word, and will hyperlink each topic slice to a page in the document. The Word document will then be converted to an eBook. So far I've only been able to slice the image by overlaying a rectangle on the TOC image and using; Combine shapes/subtract command or crop the original image 8 times. There must be a simpler way. Ideally I'd like to just cut the one image with 7 horizontal slices, so I can easily piece it back together in Word. I looked at the image slicing function but couldn't figure out how to have multiple names on one image. I have GD 7.
Is there a way to cut a solid into two pieces using a non-planar cutting plane? I have been tasked with calculating the volume of concrete damage in a chute block. I have a sketch of the damage on the chute block. I created the chute block as a solid and then drew the damaged area extents using plines. This created non-planar plines. Is there a way to get this to work that will allow me to see the volume of the concrete damage? I need an easy way to do this, there are 50 chute blocks all the same size but with varying degrees of damage
I'm using Xfrog trees (first time, and quite new to 3ds max design 2011).
The leaves are images laid onto planes. The leaf has a white background and is precreated to be transparent etc.....
In theory i should be able to import the tree, render and everything should work. it's not working. The tree renders with the white background to the leaves
Is there a setting i'm missing, maybe in the render setup?

i have a vector that i want to apply an image to. So i dropped the image into illustrator, and made a clipping mask, but if i go to save it, or print it, it tries to print space where the image is, even though it's only inside the vector outline. Kind of confusing with the wording, see pics, but I just want the vector to cut out of the image, and get rid of the rest of the image.
