Photoshop :: How To Lighten Background Of Picture In CS5
May 8, 2012
I took a portrait type of picture with a flash. The people are ok, the background is to dark. How can I lighten the background.
In the past when I took pictures for our awards, I used the blur method because I didn't lie the busy background. The background style on these pictures are ok. I just have a picture that I want to lighten the background.
I have about 100 images similar to the example below where the background is a neutral grey, darker at the edges then becoming lighter as it reaches the image subject. I'm looking for a way to lighten the grey background without have to mask the item in the center.
I used to use MediaStudio Pro to create picture in picture especially where the picture starts small and grows to cover the entire background video clip.
I looked for and found a video filter which I thought would allow me to do the same. However after viewing the 'help' for the filter and trying just about everything I could think of I cannot achieve what I want to do if start with a video clip and then have another video clip appear (very small) in one area of the background video and then slowly grow larger to eventually cover the background video clip.
I can make the picture in picture appear and grow larger but it covers the entire background video clip with black effectively covering it no matter what size my picture in picture is. I looked for a chroma key to cover the black out but could not find it.
I have taken a beach and sea shot with palm trees and greenery in the foreground which when printed are very dark. What is the method to lighten this specific area using elements 10 ?
With PS CS, I have noticed in Lab color space the lighten and darken blending modes for layers are disable. Also, if an RGB picture uses them, they are converted to normal blending mode upon conversion to Lab. Any idea why this limitation? And any way to circumvent it?

I'm trying to take pictures of some jewelry that i have so that i can put them on my website. I want to be able to have the image with a white background and show the shadows of the object, see the attached image for example. How do i go about creating such an image? I looked at other posts on removing backgrounds but these techniques were either too long, given the fact that i have over 100 items to work on, or didn't produce the "shadow" effect that i was looking for.
The first two images are what i'm looking for. The thrid is how one of my items currently looks like. I also tried taking pictures with a clear white or blue background but didn't know an effective way of removing the background.

I need removing a background from a picture. My boss wants some t-shirts made but the only image I have is one with a tie-dye background and I need it to just be the black and white that is on the image. I have been trying for 2 weeks to do this and I can get real close but it leaves the colors around the edges and I need this gone. I have the original photo and the one with almost everything removed.
I haven't used PDF Underlays very much as we're always given CAD backgrounds. In this case, I used them to quickly put in since we won't get CAD files. However, they are scanned PDF's so they are essentially raster images. They have jagged lines, etc.
Is there a way to just lighten these when plotting so I can still use them as my background? or should I just bite the bullet and trace them to get actual ACAD lines to be able to control in plotting?
