Photoshop :: Removing Background Is Same Color As Subjects Hair
Jan 20, 2013
I have CS6. Having trouble removing a background where part of the backgrouond is almost exactly the same color as the subject's hair. I've tried the refine edge tool- I get yucky greyed areas in the one spot where the hair & the similar background color meet. I have tried to use channels, but I am not very skilled in that yet.
trying every layer mask combo I could think of to create a realistic shade of white hair that doesn't look like I just used the brush tool to make it.
I've tried lighting up the shadows with the curves option then using the selective color option. But all that does is make a very fake looking film to put over the eyebrows (ya it's eyebrows I'm working on, I'm trying to get them to match a white wig the subject is wearing.)
I've also tried using the solid color option, and a color overlay and that just came out weird.
Has anyone ever turned pitch black hair to white and had it still look like hair?
Reference tutorial=> Remove Photo Backgrounds with the Background Eraser {URL]
a) I follow the tutorial above to remove backgrounds. However, the background has similar color than picture (in this case "white" - picture attached - FIG_2). So, when I use "background eraser" tool, it erase part of my picture as well. So, how to handle it properly?
b) The tutorial was usefull to other image that has different backgound color (FIG_3 attached). But using other software (Gimp) I could just take the transparency index (color=> color to alfa) with "one click" without the request of erase background manually. So, is there any similar way to do it easily in Paint Shop?
I have a photograph with a women that has brown/reddish hair against a maroon colored background and I'm having trouble keying her out. I've tried the Refine Edge tool and played with all the settings and it isn't working very well.
I am newbie in photoshop. I am using CS4. I have a picture with my daughter i just want to edit and replace new background but there some portion in the picture its hard for me to remove colors to the hair. i just want to retain tiny hair without erasing totally.I used pen tool to crop it.
using CS4, I know there is probably no easy answer but how do remove background from fine hair? Currently I erase most of the background with a wand and then zoom in and use the eraser.Â
I would like to remove the background from that. I read few tutorials but they have one color(shades of color) background and quite good contrast. They make hair white and bg. black. But in my image some hair are black and some white and they overlap each other. I found great plugin to Photoshop named Topaz Remask 3, but I haven´t PS.
I was wondering how you can change someones hair color, and make it look natural. Everytime I try... well lets not go there. Anyone have an example, or a good tutorial on how it is done?
I want to change hair color on a picture (from black to blonde). Those pictures are textures for a game so it is pretty clean and easy to edit usually
I have another pictures with the blonde hairs tones and colors in it. So i figured i had to save color range or something on the blonde hair picture to apply it on the black hair picture, right ?
how to change hair color and select it to modify it. I've tried using magic wand laso tools.. I know that if you make a selection you can modify color in hue/saturation but I can't seem to figure out a easy way to select and work just with the hair and coloring just hair. working mac pscs2.
Any method in GIMP that can be used for cutting out flowing "Blonde" hair from a Multicoloured background using the "Channels". It seems that it can be done using Photoshop, but there do not seem to be any tutorials around for GIMP. There are heaps for cutting out dark coloured hair from all sorts of backgrounds but nothing to cut out flowing blonde hair from a multicoloured background.
I am trying to change a model's hair color in a photo from blonde to dark brunette (need one dark brown, and one black hair).
I can change the hair color to every other color and lighten and darken it using hue/saturation, burn & sponge tool, brush with overlays, but cannot seem to successfully get a realistic brunette. At the moment all I get is a black/white effect or a deep red.
Either I am not getting the combination and settings of these effects correct or I am not using the proper Photoshop tools. I can't imagine that this should be difficult.
Perhaps the photo is not bet suited to this? (can be viewed on )
Made few viewports (3d) in paperspace, set scale & locked. Zoom in and out from paperspace is fine, scale in the viewports stay as set until after I double-click inside the viewport to check or alter things and return to paperspace.
Now when zooming in from paperspace, subjects inside the viewport keep enlarging (not scale increase) and things go out of space ...zooming out everything come back to place. This makes doing other task very difficult.
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.
change or remove a back ground from a photo? I can remove the unwanted area, but when I create a new background, the people look cut out. I have tried to set the selection feather to about 10, but they still look like I cut them out. The background is a solid color (ugly yellow) and I am trying to change it to look like a studio canvas. You know with what looks like clouds? I have used the clouds filter and the difference clouds.
I have also tried a drop shadow in the back, and while that improves it a little, still not the look that it needs to be.
how can we extract a part of a picture. Say for example I want to extract my picture from one of my prevailing photos and paste it on some other background, how can that be achieved. I tried tools like Magic Lasso, Magnatic Lasso etc and even appled the feather feature, but even then when I paste it on some other background, any one can make it out. The most difficult part is with hairs. I am attaching some pictures which I randomly found on net. Please guide me as to how can I exrtact them from their present backgroung and paste them to a new one without anyone coming to know about it.
What's the best way of removing this pelmet? Â I've been told the tall lady is too orange (the bride is very pale), but having got it wrong once with another orange lady, what in you view is the best way of taking out some of her fake tan? Â Last I did this, what looked okay on screen did not look good in the prints as whilst I took some of the tungsten orange out of the room's glow, it seems that the ladies lipstick had the same tone - thus the result was that it looked like she's been a feeding vampire not 2 minutes before the picture such was the impression of blood on her lips! Â Lastly, if I want to blow out the highlights here in the window as there's still some details from the 'orrible net curtains, what do you recommend?
All i want to do is remove the white so that I can put in a blue sky. I have selected the white (with quick selection) and deleted it. I even unlocked the layers, so once I delete I see the checkerboard. I try to place the image in Illustrator. The white comes back!
