Photoshop :: Problem With Extract Filter
Jul 18, 2009
I have Problem with Extract Filter which was working OK until recently. Now, when I choose the filter the screen does not come up as the extract screen as it should and no other action can be taken except to press escape which returns me to normal.
working.   Looks as if the extraction function has been sleected but does not show? I am trying to use the extract on a layer. Have tried to use it on a selection also.

I have Photoshop CS4 running on a 8 gig Vista 64 bit system. When I click on Filters, there is no Extract Filter. I did a search prior to posting and saw some threads talking about not moving files, icons etc from their original folder. I am un sure if anything has been moved. However, when I click on Filters, they all seem to be there (at least not greyed out), EXCEPT for the Extract filter. Any help would be apprecited and if you let me know where the filters should reside I can make sure they are in the correct location.

In CS4, the Extract filter was removed, but was available as a plug-in. I've now upgraded to CS6. There is still a plug-in for this tool! If there is, where can I find it?

I am using the Filter Extract method to clear cut or background erase around some pics of ladies hair. I understand this is the best tool for this task.
I have studued the Photoshop Help and a couple of tutorials on this subject, and have achieved a couple of passable clear cuts. But as awlasy there si room for improvement.
I am trying to assemble some notes on the best settings etc to use and thought someone out there might be able to contribute.
I have found it a good concept to do the models hair with the Filter Extract option and then to use the Magic Lasso for the rest of her body. Do you agree ?
When in the Filter Extract mode is it best to zoom in on the models face to work on her hair ? Or do you work at actual size ?
Most tutorials say to use a wide brush over the hair edges. Is the idea to move the brush exactly along the hair edges or do you move it along across the edge of the hair and the background ? Is it best to set the width of the brush so that it can cover the width of all of the wispy bits of hair in one pass, or can you just go over them with the filter extract brush?

I hear a lot of people talking blithely about how superior Refine Edge is to the previous Extract Filter.
Â
If you look at the two sample files called "Auto Align 1" and "Auto Align 2" in the tutorials folder a couple of versions back you'll find 2 children with sharp outlines against the background and frothy hair around the girl. How refine edge can - in 1 fell swoop - eliminate the clearly defined background around the shoulders AND leave the frothiness of the girls' hair? Until then I stand resolute that REFINE EDGE is NOT a substitute for the EXTRACT FILTER at all!

I tried to install the optional extract filter on CS4 Extended by dropping it into the photoshop filters folder. When I tried to open it a message comes up that says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." When I restart photoshop it says the filter is not designed to run on windows or it contains an error.

I'm having trouble with the Extract filter being grayed out/disabled in some types of files...it seems like I can't use it on TIFF files, but I can if it's a JPEG.

Everytime i try to download the Extract Filter from my disc i get a message from windows saying "Windows can not open this file. File: ExtractPlus.8BF"
Then it says that windows needs to know what program created the file and that it can search online or i can tell it what program created it. Neither option enables the download.

I tried to use the lens flare filter in Photoshop CS6.While the lighting effect is interesting, it introduces ugly artifacts like blue or orange blobs (which are supposed to be the reflection of the diaphragm, but do not look anywhere close to that, but instead are just cheesy looking blobs of color).
Â
In the "movie prime" setting blue lines are added which have nothing to do with lens flar.On top of it, the preview is about the size of a stamp. Any way to use the filter without getting these artifacts, or is it - what I assume - just a useless toy filter, that has probably been dragged on for years and years because it's always been there? What do you use to create a lens flare effect? Are you just building it from scratch with brush work?

camera raw filter does not show up on the filter drop list on CC. I am trying to determine why this is the case. So far everything else seems to work.

I've deleted my PS preferences and restarted, and I cannot get this filter to do what is was just doing a day earlier. It doesn't matter what the foreground/background colors are, nor does it matter what the resolution of the file is. I've experimented with every variable. The filter effect changes the filled layer to a solid color of the current foreground color. No lines, dots or circles at all.
Â
I'm trying to make lines in a filled layer, or a rasterized text layer.Adjusting the sliders has no effect at this point, but the other Gallery filters DO work, oddly enough.
Â
I've used this filter effect many times over the years, and it just started acting wonky. This is PS CS6, on Mac OSX 10.8.5.It seems to be unpredictable or temperamental. Is there a reasonably-priced plugin that will create lines that are completely adjustable?

Is there a way to extract or export or convert a PDF to PSD with layers. So I'm thinking the answer may be no but I'll ask anyways. When I open the PDF in Photoshop CS5 I only see one layer. If the PDF was saved with Photoshop capabilities would I see multiple layers or is this something I need to turn on or convert it myself?

I can't extract the Photoshop CS5. Everytime I try I get :"A problem occured while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder" .I've spent long hours on the phone with multiple agents trying to resolve this issue. I have WinZIP, my computer is Windows 7 Pro, etc... Still cannot get the issue resolved.
Â
As well, while on the phone with one of the Adobe Agents, I was informed to type in: "cmd.exe" in the start menu, then once the window opened I was then informed to type: "net user administrator /active:yes". This created a whole new Administrator account for me, when I already had an Administrator account saved under my name. So now I'm stuck with two and I cannot get rid of the Administrator account that the Adobe Agent made me create. I've tried many things in reference from google. Such as: Right Clicking Computer on the startup menu then clicking manage Local Users and Groups. I then clicked Groups and tried to delete the Administrator account, however it would not allow me. Then I tried to type in "cmd.exe" in the Start Menu, once the window opened I proceeded to type: "net user administrator /active:no", and yet again it did not work.

The old, (un)reliable Extract filter is not part of Photoshop CS4, and Adobe isn't planning on bringing it back! Instead, Extract will be replaced by sometyhing altogether more powerful in future releases of the software (working alongside Refine Edge so I hear).
Luckily for anybody who's a fan of the Extract feature, Adobe are planning to make it available, for the time being, completely free of charge on the Adobe website. Also, if you have previous versions of Photoshop, you can copy and paste it from an old version into the filters folder of the new version and things should work out perfectly!
So do we have any extract users here who'll be sad to see it go?

I'm looking for a way to replace a certain colour with transparency.
Exactly like the replace color/selective color tool, exept instead of changing the color to a diffarent colour, it is replaced with transparency.
I don't mean anything like the magic wand tool or removing one

I read in some website of using the extract tool in photoshop. But when i finally worked on it, it made be to think using pen tool was better way of making a clean cut out and changing the background.
But i still think the extract option in photoshop has some thing more. I really what to master it.
We use lot of cutouts for our feature pages. Say we need a neat cutout of a blond with hair scattered and the cutout should come clean even along the hair lines.
When i used the extract tool along the hair line, it did gave some result, but when repeated with pen tool result was some what similar. I use photoshop 7 and OS windows xp.
