I am trying to remove the background from an image. It is a jpg that has had a lot of compression on it, so the edges are quite jaggedy/blurred. I have tried using the magic wand tool, but it seems to cut around the jagedy edges leaving a poor cut.
View 2 RepliesSomething very strange is going on. All my fonts are slightly compressed, as though the horizontal scaling is set to about 80%. It's not restricted to one font - it's across the board.
We have two macs in the studio with the same problem, and we can't fix it.
Image compression in Photsohop CS6 doesn't seem to be effective on a 16 bit PSD when Maximize Compatibility is turned on.
For example, with Maximize Compatibility set to Always, if I create a new file 6144 x 4096 pixels x 16 bits/channel with a pure white background, and add a single text layer that says "This is a test", then save the file, it's 144 megabytes. Zipping that same file into a .zip archive results in a massive reduction, to 245 kbytes.
Sure enough the saved file size goes down if I set Maximize Compatibility to Never. But even that can be hugely more compressed by zip (down to 88 kbytes).
This implies the failure to compress is happening on the flattened preview.
If I change to 8 bits/channel and save that same document either way it's about two and a half megabytes, differing only a couple hundred kbytes between Maximize Compatibility Always vs. Never. In this case, apparently the flattened preview is being compressed nicely.
These are my file handling preferences. Note that I do NOT have [ ] Disable Compression checked.
Doing a bit of spot testing, I believe this is nothing new - it has been the same in recent past versions (e.g., Ps CS5, CS4). I've just never noticed that saving 16 bits/channel data yielded such huge files (because I always diaabled compression anyway), but apparently it has been the same all along.
No problem here - this is just a curiosity to me, as I have a fast disk array and these saves are all quick enough. I choose the "Always" maximize compatibility setting because I have a viewer (IrfanView) that I use for quick previews that won't read files saved with Maximize Compatility disabled.
I suppose it does beg the question: What prevents Photoshop from doing the Flate compression on the flattened preview in a 16 bits/channel PSD file? Was there an old version that couldn't decompress such files?
I can't figure this out... and I've tried everything I know / have been able to find on Google.
I'm using Microsoft Word 2010. When I save the document I use Save as > PDF
I created a few images for headers inside of Photoshop CS6. I've tried quite a few resolutions (600, 300, 220, 150, 96, 72) and I've also done all of the tips out there for preventing compression (going into settings > advanced > turning compression off, clicking image going to format preventing compression, and also the save as > tools > 220 dpi/use document compression).
I've also tried a ton of different file types: Jpg, png, gif, tiff, and pdf.
None of this works and my images keep getting compressed when it comes out in PDF.
How do I get this to stop compressing my images?
P.S. The image looks TOTALLY fine inside of the document. But as soon as I export it looks compressed and choppy.
I have bunch of compressed .tif files (Resolution is 400 dpi instead of 600) that I can't open in the photoshop.
Right now the only way I can fix these is by using Microsoft Office Picture Manager to convert those files to .bmp file. Then I CAN open it in photoshop and change it back to the correct scale/format (bitmap). However there are like hundreds of them and its going to take a long time to fix those pictures one by one.
Is there any method I can open them in photoshop? Any plug-in I can use?
I have been working on a file and every time I compress all the layers to an image file the overlay filter is ignored and it is processed at 100 opacity and normal instead of the overlay filter.
I thought the file was corrupted so i started from stratch again. I have my background layer (black) and a zig zag pattern i created which is set to overlay and 52% opacity, which gives a nice effect with the black layer. When the 2 layers are compressed the pattern layer comes out the full red colour instead of the overlay settings.
Here are the 2 images - the saved jpeg image and a screen shot of what it looks like when working on it in photoshop. I've been at it for 5 days.
I'm looking for a Plug-In to open G4-Compressed Tiff files in photoshop.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am working on a project that requires saving my image files as uncompressed tiff files and then saving another copy using LZW compression and being stored on a different drive. I am scanning a large quantity of herbarium specimens one after the other and then saving these files on two different drives.
Because I am working on a Windows pc it defaults to saving the file as the same type and in the same place as the previous one. As a matter of efficiency I just save the file in the proper form for whatever drive I was last on then save the next one in the form it needs to be for the other drive - alternating back and forth.
My question is: If I save the original scan as an LZW compressed file first and then "save as" a second copy as an uncompressed Tiff. Is there any loss in image quality saving a LZW compressed to to an uncompressed form. Should I always save the original file in it's uncompressed form first? Does the file remain totally intact in Photoshop regardless of what gets saved first…

View 8 Replies View RelatedOne of the reasons I have always liked PhotoPaint is because one can do some amount of video editing with it which is handy for animations or title frames to use in video editing programs. PhotoPaint has always been my preferred tool for making animated gifs from avi or mov files.
I see that it will open uncompressed avi or mov files but if they are compressed, it won't open them properly; such as showing the frames as solid black.
Is there a way to import additional codecs or filters or whatever for avi and mov into x5?
is it possible to edit the individual layers of an image after the layers have been compressed and the image saved? If so, where do I find the instructions for that?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI use LR5 to manage RAW/JPG/MOV files from events where I have taken pictures from. Most of the MOV files do either come from my Canon Camera or from my iPhone.
I regular export the files in a reduced file back to my iPad or iPhone for "public" viewing. Unfortunately LR5 is loosing all metadata from my videos, especially creating date/time and GPS tags.
Is there any way to include metadata in exported (and compressed) video files ? It works in photo's very well.
If not, do you know any other program which can compress original video files from my iPhone and keep the metadata ?
Is there a method to get the Pocket Camera CinemaDNG files to work in premiere ? (or Speed grade?) They work as individual frames in Photoshop. Apparently they are "compressed" CinemaDNG files.
View 28 Replies View RelatedDrawing A has a grid system Xref-ed into it. It also has a block reference in it, repeated in various places throughout the drawing.
I Xref-ed the grid into the block to check something, and now I can't get it out. This means that the grid now repeats all over Drawing A as well and is generally being a nuisance.
If I try to unload the Xref within the block, it unloads it in Drawing A too. If I try to detach it from the block, it returns this message: Xref [Xref name] has multiple references. Not detached. If I try to detach the Xred from Drawing A, it returns the same message.
How do I unload the same Xref that occurs in a block in a drawing, and in the drawing itself, independently of each other?

View 9 Replies View RelatedAfter installing the CS4 upgrade on my Vista 32-bit machine I went to uninstall CS3. The procedure ended up with the red crosses and an error message stating that CS3 and components could not be removed.
Having deactivated CS3 I tried once more with the same result.
I would appreciate any advice on how best to proceed to uninstall CS3 whilst ensuring I don't screw up my CS4 installation.
I just installed the CS4 upgrade and am trying to save HD space on my laptop.
Will there be any effects if I remove the old program?
Do I de-activate it first?
I'm running Photoshop CS3 as an upgrade from CS2 using XP Pro, In order to use some third party software I was advised to remove CS2 or the software would not work. But when I did so I found that some of CS3 was compromised as a result. For example, in Bridge I could no longer double click on an image to load it in PS.
Since my CS3 is an upgrade, is it sharing some common files with CS2? And if so, how do I remove it without removing the essential files. And if my CS3 it is not sharing files with CS2, what can I do to remove the latter without messing up the former?
I sadly do not have Photoshop C5 so can not easily remove someone from photos. I tried the cloning tool to just place the background over the person to be removed but it doesn't look very nice. (I'm just starting to use Photoshop).
It is a lake scene and the person to be removed is on the far right, not in the middle of a group or anything.
I have CS5. I have a jpg with a watermark on it that I can't seem to get rid of. It's the sew-classic.com across the page in the image. I was hoping that it would come up as a separate layer in Photoshop, so I could just delete it, but it's all on one. If it comes to zooming in and going over it with the background color it won't be worth the effort!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was looking through some of my old folders this morning and stumbled across a pic I had to tinker with early last year for a magazine I was putting together.
as can be seen in the picture, there is a big patch of light (I assume from a flash or other light) right in the middle of the back ground, which looks terrible.
Also, the rest of the pic could do with a bit of lightening as it's too dark.
How would you go about editing this image to remove the patch of light?
I tried 2 techniques, firstly I used the burn tool to darken the patch of lightto match the rest of the pic.
The second approach I tried was to duplicate the layer. On the new layer I darkened the image so the patch was as dark as the rest of the poster in the first layer. Then I applied a layer mask and made only the newly darkened patch visible over the original pic to give an evenly lit poster.
How do you all remove shadows from backdrops/walls behind people's heads/bodies? I use the healing brush, but is there an easier, quicker way to do it? I have PSE4 and CS3.

my client needs an image of a smooth gray plastic container - problem is - it has not been produced yet - all they can offer me is the same plastic container with a red granit texture - how can I create an image of this container and remove the red granit texture - creating a gray plastic without removing all the highlights and shadows that make it have shape ? I don't want to completely redraw the image and have it look like an artist rendering rather than a photograph.
