I would like to crop heads of people in certain photos, and paste or align them with bodies in different images.
I've tried isolating the head or face using the Quick Selection Tool, and then Image/Crop, but I cannot get a clean edge; it's surrounded by an angular border, no matter what I do.
Is this impossible to do with curvy shaped image elements?
I'm working with PSE 9.
So I'm trying to make a modified loading screen for a game (Homeworld 2 to be exact) but I'm not sure how to do this. You see the loading screen has a black background with a blue line in the shape of a hud, with the actual picture inside of it (Example, the loading bar is rendered dynamically and not part of the image). What I was thinking of doing, is erasing the inside, then copy & pasting the picture I want as a new layer over it, then cropping out the area outside the blue "hud" to give a black background with a internal picture. I was wondering if there would be a way to do that without overwriting the blue outline and having to do it manually.

I got an idea for a tattoo that I am wanting to get and the idea is very vivid in my mind, the problem is that I cannot find any "flash" for what it is that I want. I asked a friend of mine for help as he is a graphic artist, and he suggested I get familiar with Photoshop, so here I am. Here is somewhat of a graphical description of what I am attempting to do...
What I am going for is 3 seperate eagles all merged together (or layered on top of each other) in order to create one single piece for my back. The first eagle will create the center of the design with the second eagle above it and to the left a bit with the third eagle to the back of the first one and below the second to make it all one piece.
What I need to know is what would be the best way for a beginner to start doing all this? I am not a freeloader and am not at all intimidated by doing things myself, just a kick in the right direction should suffice. Thank you all in advance for your support. I know that I need to first get all three images onto the same pallet and extract the heads only (white feathers) from the first two images then merge them all together somehow.
I do a lot of image editing, example cutting out pictures of a persons's head and place it on a picture w/c contain a body such as a king, princess, soldeirs etc. I often cut out pictures from digital shots and put them on a normal .jpg file to merge them. The issue is that the color profiles/brightness/contrass of the 2 pictures are not the same so it's very clear that they are edited.
I tried them all, under "Image-Adjust" then changing the image's hue/saturation, color balace, brightness/contrast however most of my works are still very noticeable that it's edited. only a handful of few shots comes out really blended that well.
I have two photos which are of roughly the same scene but taken under slightly different lighting conditions.
I'll use a MS Word analogy to try and explain what I'm after - in Word, I can select some text and copy it. I can then move within Word to a completely different document and select Paste Special and just paste the format of the text. The result will be that I have different text but in the exact same size/font/colour. What I'm trying to achieve is some way of sampling the exposure settings (eyedropper?) of picture 1 and then pasting these settings back into picture 2 so that the green of the grass and the blue of the sky are similar in both.
I have 2 images, one which is a canvas I have created within Photoshop to a certain size and the other is a JPEG I have shot on a SLR.
I want to mount the JPEG onto the canvas (which are both currently saved as 2 seperate documents as JPEG's) and then save this as one whole document...
MY PROBLEM WITH PHOTOSHOP CS2 IS CROPPING PICTURES ON A MAC
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have this image of a piece of bread. As you can see there is white area around the bread. I want to get rid of this (i.e. crop it out) so that when I import it into another program (mainly After Effects) all that can be seen is the bread and no white space on the outside. Is there a way to do this?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI know how to "place" an image however, how do you place one that is supposed to lay on the outer layer of the orginal image.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wanted to photograph a scene that had a very wide contrast range. The range was beyond the camera's ability to obtain proper exposure in the shadows without blowing out the bright areas of the scene.
I had read that Photoshop has a capability to combine one image that recorded good detail in the highlights, with a second exposure that captured detail in the midtones and shadows. So, I put my camera on a tripod and took the two exposures while maintaining the position of my camera.
Using PS CS2 and my Windows PC, I would like to merge the two images using a layer mask to selectively include only the properly exposed portions of the images. The problem is I can't get started. The initial two steps are evading me, despite consulting all of my CS2 text references. The steps are:
1. How do I get both images on the PS screen at the same time; and
2. The first image I open in PS creates a Background layer. How do I get the second image to be a layer just above the Background layer?
I've cut out part of two Images and swapped them around, but the skin colour, lighting is all wrong. Is there any ways of blending in the two Image so it makes the Photo realistic, i don't want to use the Clone stamp tool, becaus ethen i loss all detail, and it makes the photo look like plastic.
View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to use Photoshop to some degree and there are all kinds of tricks out there... Well online I found images taken by an airplane in 1951 of the ground below it. They are shots of the county I currently live in. I was looking to merge some of the photographs together into bigger images. However when attemping to merge the original photographs together I've run into a roadblock. From what I can guess, the plane was flying at a different altitude and maybe a slight angle when it took each picture of the areas of the county. The images just wont line up. I attempt to rotate and skew the image but it just never seems right. I can get the rotation looking almost perfect but then some parts of the image look like its too big on one side and then too small on the other side. Its almost looks as if its been tilted on the "z-axis".

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an immediate need to overlay one image on top of another, blending the two -- like the effect you'd get if you double-exposed a film negative.
I have no idea how to to do this, and poking around the online help file isn't giving up quickly, any clues. Usually, when I poke around in Photoshop (6.0), I find it pretty undecipherable.
I'm a PS newbie, and I've been trying to copy a selection from one image and paste it in another. This normally works perfectly, but I've been having real problems with one image. Whenever I copy something onto it (with most pics, at least; haven't tried them all) the copied selection loses all colour and texture and becomes an apparently random selection of white and black pixels.
Is there a setting somewhere that I should change? Are the images just incompatible? Please help.
Here's an example screenshot. Request any further information you want and I'll try to provide it.
Edit: In case you couldn't tell, I'm trying to copy the stick on the right onto the witch.
lets say there is this image, and I want to make a selection. That selection, I want to quicky turn into a new image. So, the way I did it was:
1. Press S.
2. Drag Selection.
3. Press CTRL+C.
4. Goto FILE > NEW
5. Create 1x1 image.
6. With new image selected, press CTRL+V to paste it into image (auto fits)
In Paintshop Pro, all you had to do was:
1. Press S.
2. Drag Selection.
3. Press CTRL+C.
4. Press CTRL+V.
(CTRL+V would "PASTE AS NEW IMAGE") Which worked perfect. And in PSP CTRL+E would "PASTE INTO CURRENT IMAGE / SELECTION", which seems to be the current CTRL+V function for PS.
Am I taking too many steps here? Is there a way to do this more like the PSP way?
Another short example, I had text that I wanted to manually adjust the kerning. I had to:
1. Press L (for Lasso)
2. Dragg Selection
3. Instead of the Click-Holding inside this new selection to move the contents over, PS moves the SELECTION over. I tried ALT, CTRL and SHIFT variants but they don't move the selection's contents like I'd want. So I press M (for Move).
4. Move the item.
5. Goto Step 1 for each of the letters I want to move.
i have photshop cs and when i paste a picture into photoshop from my "my pictures" folder after selecting parts of the image with the magnetic lasso, it pastes fine. mind you, its in jpeg form, because its pictures i myself took with my digital camera. ok, thats not a problem. but when i go into another folder that has pictures on my computer, use the magnetic lasso to take part of the image and paste it once again on a blank new canvas---THE IMAGES PASTE LIKE 25% OF THE ORIGINAL SIZE!! it only does this with this one particular folder. i like making collages of my pics, so i open up a custom, 8x10 new blank canvas, and when i print, it always comes up super small when pasted. i try resizing the images, but they are pixelated, so it looks blurry the bigger i make it. how can i paste images in accordance with their original size and stop getting these super small midget sizes of my image?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm creating a large map from the thousands of small, 256x256 pixel maps from google maps. I have already written a script that downloaded all the images, and saved them with a name indicating where they ought to be on the map (say, 1-1.png is top, left hand corner).
I have to now piece all of these images together. There are about 1,800 images, so doing this by hand is a real pain (I actually have already done about 1/8th of the work, and it took 1.5 hours so far). So here's my question: is there a way in photoshop to automate this.
I know about droplets and batch things, etc. But I don't know how to make 'merge two images, with the second directly placed directly below the first in the new image.' If I knew how to do this, I could create ~60 columns with everything lined up.

I have to take the faces off some people and merge them onto the pictures of others.
In other words picture a has a picture of a person, cut his face out and transpose it on another persons body. I've used the resizing tool (as the images and heads are too large) but I can not seem to get it merge right into the other picture all kinds of "seams" or border lines around the head of person a when pasting it onto person b.

I want to create an image from four monotone images to place in a document which will be printed. The overall appearance of the finished image will be monotone (a blue/grey colour) with the four images blending nicely with a relatively smooth transition.
I have created four monotone eps images. Then I have created a new file the size of the image I want to finish up with. This is a cmyk image so I can use the cmyk colour I want to use as a background for the images. I want the images to blend into this background.
I have filled the final image with the blue/grey background colour. I then placed each of the monotone images into the final image on its own layer, using the Free Transform tool to get them where I want them.
My problem is making them blend nicely into the background colour so it looks like one image - a montage or collage. I have achieved a result which is almost acceptable but I have spent a lot of time without too much progress.

I have photographed 19 individuals (full body shots, same lighting, same backdrop, etc.) and I am now trying to merge the individuals onto a background to create a group photo.
I can not grasp how I keep the individuals in proportion to each other. I am familiar with holding the shift key when transforming but how do I know that John is in proportion to Steve is in proportion to Mike etc. in the finished product?
I photographed the background with no one on it to use as the background for the group. I open each individual's photo and lasso their image and use the move tool to bring that image onto the background. But I get nervous and can't seem to get anyone to look in proportion and natural.
