Photoshop :: Removing Text From Image With Rather Complex Background?
Apr 10, 2013
if it was indeed possible to remove text from an image with rather detailed background. I'm no stranger to Photoshop and the Adobe Family however I've tried several methods and all of them seem to work but finished result looks obviously doctored...
Here is the image, my client wants the price from the image to vanish, while retaining the background!I have tried myself to accomplish such a result but my attempts at this
Some basic question: just need remove text from image (png), text is just on white background and there are no other objects around it, so text area can be easily selected with Rectangular marquee. If I just select text with Rectangular Marquee, then use Edit > Cut this probably will be destructive editing way, which isn't good. I can also select text use Rectangular marquee then Edit > Fill and fill Contents area with Background Color.
i've got aimage in a file which i want to remove and replace with a new image. I can remove the image using the lasso tool in photoshop cs3. But what i want to be able to do is get the background space i have removed filled the same as the rest of it,
i have a large number of pictures, they all have the same background image.
The background image is a white-to-gray vertical gradient and has some text on the top.
I created an action to batch remove the background - I use color ranges (Select the Rectangular Marquee Tool and the Right Click anywhere on the image and click on 'Color Range')
In the Color Range dialogue i selected 'Add to Sample' and started clicking numerous times along the horizontal line of my background - I am reminding you that my background is a gradient.
After selecting all of the colors (samples) that are in my background I clicked 'OK' and deleted the selection which leaved me with my image and a transparent background - GREAT!!
This method works great if my image has a high contrast with the background - which is about 80% of the cases.
When i use this action to remove the background from images that have WHITE / GRAY colors in them it comes out terrible since the Color Range selects the background AND bright areas on my image and deletes them.
I have the background image saved as a separate file, I want the Batch Action to check the original background image against all of my images and:
-Detect which parts of the image are similar to the original background -Delete those similar areas
If that is possible, that would probably be a pretty good way to get rid of the background without deleting anything from my image.
Is it possible to do something like that in Photoshop (maybe using masks?!), or is it possible with any other Image Editing Software?
Before I pass along to you my request, I'd like to point out that I have watched tutorial, after tutorial on how to remove an image from a background. Every thing goes great, "step by step", (my project compared to tutorial) right to the final procedure. Then my image either turns "white/black", or disappears (lets just say the project does not pan out compared to tutorials).But everything is "fine", right up to final phase. How to do the following....
1. Extract an image from a background (any kind) of background.
2. Instruct me how to take the extracted image, and "save" it to file, to use it in "another" project, at a later time.
3. How to take an image (for instance, a large hole in a tree) and take another image, and place it in there. Inside this hole in the tree, I want to take an image, and "blend" it into the hole in the tree. Another wards,I don't want to just place a vivid "sharp" image into the hole in the tree, I want a " halo/gradual fade out from tree, to a gradual fade in to object placed in tree. I hope you understand my description. Basically, going from a sharp vivid image, to a gradual blending of another image in hole of tree.
how I can get rid of the bluish colour around the tree that I have removed the background from (see attachement). I first invert the image, then go to "Components", choose Monochrome, adjust the image to get the black background, and finally go to "Levels" to increase the dark background. However, when I had the mask and do the rest of the sequence, I keep getting the blue tinge of the sky around the object I have cut out.
I have a pillow bevel applied to a paint splatter brush image, and I'm having trouble with the shadows. I want to save this splatter as a transparent PNG. The problem is that a drop shadow effect is showing up when I save it this way. I think it's a "shading" setting rather than a true drop shadow, as there is no drop shadow set in the layer styles.
The shadow does not appear when a white background is applied. It only shows when the background is transparent. I've tried reducing the shading opacity in the bevel dialogue, and this does get rid of the drop shadow....the problem is that it also removes the shading from the paint splatter, making the image look flat instead of raised.
I have an irregularly shaped graphic that I want to post to a webpage without any surrounding background. Every time I save it, it creates a rectangular background that is visible when I post it to my webpage. How can I make that background invisible?
I am removing the background on a detailed object(s). I removed the initial part..the ants started marching. Then I pushed "control click", and started on another section..the ants started marching on that piece. Then I moved to my 3rd section doing the same. But when you click your final at your beginning on your 3rd section, the ants start marching there also..but you lose the sections you did previously. So I went to "undo", clicked that, and got my previous sections "back".
But my question is..how can I continue taking out the background in this picture...there are a lot of openings between arms and bodies etc., where I need to remove the background. I've tried removing the background on a detailed image one time before, and the same thing happened. Gimp will only allow you to remove so much, and if you try to remove more, it cancels out what you previously tried to remove...how can I continue removing the background on his image, being the image already has an alpha channel over it. If you try to continue after saving the present image to path/invert...you will lose the image your trying to save in the second process.
I have a stock photo of a white and yellow flower isolated on black and when I add an alpha channel and use 'color to alpha' to remove the black background it creates some transparency in the image too.
I understand that this is because it is taking the black out of the flower too but I thought the point of isolating an image was so that the background can be removed.....which leads me to believe that there must be another way of doing this?
how to remove a background from a translucid/see-through image (where the background can be partly seen behind the image). I included an example in an attachment.
I am able to render anything around the image itself to transparency (using the alpha channel, selection tools, etc.). But in translucent images such as in my example, that leaves what is "behind" the image (that brown stuff in this case).
I'm making an image with clan crest over tartan. I can remove the white background from the crest, but there are still some odd bits around the very edges. No matter what I try, it always comes out like that. see attached.
I have no problem flipping an image (before one removes the background). It's "after" I remove the background, that I am unable to flip an image. You'd think you could flip an image in whatever state the image is in...is there a way to do it, or not?
I remember there was a way of doing this. I would like to remove text from a scanned image and have the background from where the text was previously so it can be edited.
What is the best way to remove the text from this image (an RPG menu) so I can make my own game menu out of something completely different? I would also want to remove the character icon... + all current text.
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 am trying to create a network infrastructure diagram for where Iwork with Diagram.
For this I am putting into the diagram, images of: servers, switches,racks and so on. What I wish for those images is to have transparent background. So far, I've been able to find decent resolution imageswhich it's because I've started with the latest hardware.Here's an example, let's say for our Dell PowerEdge 6850 servers if found this: [URL] ....
which by fuzzy selecting the white background, with a threshold of15.0 and some selection subtractions I've been able to turn to: [URL] .... which is nice for what I wish to use it for.
Now, I've been able to handle some easy likewise situations but nowI've reached the vintage hardware and got bad results. Let me show an example image: [URL] .....
This is more difficult to make it look as I wish since it's resolution it's not decent and it also has a shadow effect which hardens a precise initial selection which can then be worked out to a better result.
After some efforts I either end up with a pixelized image or with a severely chopped image.
So, my question is how could I achieve the desired result for this and such images?
I'm trying to do the opposite...I'm trying to cut the text into the shape of the image.
When I try to use the clipping mask with the text over the image, it will not give me the option of the clipping mask. When I put the image over the text it then gives me the option, but cuts the image into the text....
I have a clean image and want the text to cut itself into the image.
I have a banner, and some text. I would like to subtract the text from the banner to create a 'cut-out' effect. What's the easiest way to do this on photoshop?
I have a .jpg image (just a plain flat image, no layers) which mostly consists of text and one small image; I need to lift the text and the image from the background so I can change the background color, then put the text back again.
I've been looking through the net for an answer to how to remove a background from an image. I saw the tutorial on this site but it didn't help in removing the background from the image I am using.
The background I want to remove is almost like a shadow so it is difficult to distinguish the colours, as everything is black,white and grey. I tried using color range and the magic wand but nothing works.
I have a really funny animated gif I wanna remove the white background on, thus making it transparent.
The image is opened in Adobe ImageReady CS and I can see it contains 185 layers. I am a nOOb on Adobe ImageReady CS, but know a lot about Adobe Photoshop CS.
I have a picture of a logo with a white background.
I would like to remove the surrounding white background around the logo.
I tried 2 ways to try and accomplish this (using the color picker and deleting, and using the magnetic lasso and cutting). Both methods left me with a sloppy looking logo.
