Photoshop :: Image Editing: Stripping Out Background
May 21, 2005
For anyone that has worked with Photoshop, Paintshop of Fireworks. I have some pictures. I want to strip out the person from the picture and it's background. and pasted it to a plain white background.
The pictures were taken using a digital camera. Example: I have a person standing against a gray wall, I want to strip the person out, and paste it to a plain white background. Does anyone know who to do this without to much of a hassle?
I have received an image from someone which has text all over it. I'd like to strip out a little of the text at the bottom of the image. The background is kind of a grainy, paper-looking beige texture. And, in a perfect world, I'd be able to select only text and delete it.
I seriously apologize if I'm missing something obvious. There has been some hoopla here & there on the www re: CS4's improved handling of metadata when Saving for Web/Devices, particularly preserving EXIF data.
Everytime I "save for web" my EXIF data is stripped when using CS3.
I have been told to "save as", instead, but that function doesn't allow me to "save as" jpg's. I assume I must be doing something wrong or have an incorrect preference set.
If I am unable to save my EXIF in jpg's using CS3, can I do so, if I upgrade to CS4?
I'm attempting clean up some JPG images of product for sale. I do not know the technical terms for what I am attempting to do. I wish to eliminate all of the background space. I wish for the file to display only the product as if floating in empty white space.
I am using Adobe Photoshop Limited Edition; I also may use Adobe Illustrator.
Photoshop is acting wonky now that i've installed windows 8. i had to upgrade my video drivers, amd radeon 5700 series. now when editing photos, the background goes black or transparent.
Thought this was a Photoshop problem. When I select a portion of an image in Photoshop (which has come from Lightroom) and press Delete, it no longer brings up the Fill dialog; it just deletes the pixels.
After some discussion on the Photoshop forum, I see that now, when I tell Lightroom "Edit in Photoshop", it creates a file which does not have a Background layer, and this causes the Delete key to act differently. This was not the case several weeks ago, but has just started to happen. Is there any adjustment I can make to the "Edit In" settings to get a Background layer in Photoshop?
I seem to be having problems when I lasso round a specific part of a photo taken with a white background and then try to add that part of the image to a plain #000000 black background.
I always seem to get a white outline around the image when I place it on the black background, even when its on ZERO feathered. I don't like using feathered as it adds a smudge round the outside of the image.
I will be using the stripping pavement subassembly. I would like to strip 1.0' but in a Deeper fill I only need to strip 5' below finish grade. Is it possible to limit stripping. I can't find a way
I've recently started working with Civil2012/2013 (bit the bullet you might say).
I attended a course on civil about a year ago but it didn't cover all the bases.
My question: stripping calculation, is there a way fro civil to perform it automatically?
One way to calculate stripping (manually) is after i have all the tin volume surfaces, is to show the fill areas in the volume tables and then do the calculation myself.
I am using my CS2 on OSX and when I view the image in a full screen mode the color around the image is grey, well it used to be grey but it is blue now. How do I change it back to neutral grey?
How can I remove the background from this image [URL]....... so that it is ready for editing in with a new background (need to create a mag front cover using this image).
I am using Paint Shop Pro V7.04. When I save a file as a JPG, it strips EXIF info and the tags describing the camera settings for the image. Is there any way of preventing this on this version of PSP?
I am trying to apply the stripping pavement subassembly to only fill situation and even though my attachment point is only the fill case it applies it to both as shown. I am trying to get this information to provide a stripping volume for fill cases only.
I can't find any preferences for changing the photo editing area background colour. I am not sure what it is called but what I am talking about is the space in the middle of the program where photos open up into (not the workspace option which changes the menu bar colours of which I am using the blue option.) At the moment the centre area is a charcoal colour. When I am editing a photo which is smaller than this space it is surrounded by this colour and it makes it hard for me to see the thin black border which I place around some photos. Can I change the colour of the editing area to white?
This Q must be very old. Why can´t someone invent a sigle button for this I have tried all the things by the book but still when I try to lay text image with white background over an image the white is still there althoug I made it transparent. tried to sa for web as png-8, png-24 and gif. nothing works. To use magic wand gives bad result when applied to text? So what can I do? I am trying to place text over image. I know I could write it over the image but I need the text as a transparent layer some place else.
I've been trying to retouch a few photos now for a while but I just can't get them right, they still look pretty crappy even after I've been fooling around with them in Photoshop. So it'd be cool if someone please could pull a few tricks out of the hat and show me how it's done.
Someone shot this with a bad camera, at night, with a flash, and I'm trying to correct it.
The biggest issue I have is the fleshtones in this photo. This looks like it was shot in the 60s or something. Can't seem to adjust hues, color balance, etc. to get any improvement.
I'm currently an Art Major in school, and I've been studying examples from the Art Nouveau era. I've been sketching out symmetrical designs, scanning them and mirroring them on Photoshop.
All has gone well so far, however, I'm now trying to figure out how to clean it up and make it look "perfect". In terms of being perfect, I want it to look completely clean. I darkened the lines as much as I could and erased as much as I could, however, I've tried different things such as blurring, sharpening, and adjusting levels, but the lines still seem too jagged from the sketching. I'm wanting to smooth them out and make them look nice.
Here is my drawing:
and here is an example of what I would like it to look like(minus the completely filled in black part)
You see how crisp it is? No jagged edges, completely smooth and clean. This is what I want.

So does anyone know of any ways to get to this result?
I am using a font to place a heading on my webpage. I'm trying to create my heading in photoshop because visitors won't have the font I am using.
My font has some white in it, I save as a .gif with a transparent background, when I view it on the page the background shows in the white spots inside the letters. I want to edit the image to place white in these spots but keep the transparent background, If I flatten the image the transparent background no longer exists.
I've downloaded the trial of Photoshop CS6, and imported image sequences and video files. But whenever I use a filter or make another edit, it only affects the frame currently being displayed. Is there any way to apply a change to all frames of the sequence or video at once?
