how to crop a section of an image and paste it into another picture. Im pretty lamen when it comes to PS so the easier the better. What i am trying to acheive and learn, is to outline the shape of an item in a picture and copy that shape to the clipboard, to paste onto another picture. EG in the pic below id like to separate the BARN and GRAIN SILO form the background, so that i can paste it into another pic.

I would consider myself intermediate photoshop, but to the photoshop community most likely a nub. anyways, I have been trying with different ways to extract this breaker from an image, with all attempts looking edgy and not professional.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a basic image and I just want to remove the background and be LEFT just with the image (i.e. No white background).
I have opened the image with Gimp and on this image I was able to "add alpha channel" which I believe needs to be done. Do I need to do anything after I add the Alpha channel?
This is what I did next:
The image is 100% and background 1.1mb. Select Fuzzy tool and position cursor over the background and click. The image and the image background have the moving dashes going around them.
Next I hit the delete key and the background goes checkered. Still there are the moving dashes around the image and the background outer square. Next I hit autocrop and I am left with a reduced checkered background around the image.
My question - what do I do from here. I just want the image with no background what so ever; also is there anything I need to do with saving too.
Previously I have saved this and when I go to use the image it appears to be much the same as the original with a white background.
Using Elements 9 I was adding black text to a .jpg image. Somehow during the process, the text being entered defaulted to a "wavy, illegible set of characters". Spent 30+ minutes looking at FAQs and have given up. I want to reset to default simple clear black characters. Closing and restarting Elements does not resolve this issue. When ending a newly entered set of text - still get "wavy, illegible set of characters!"

but they're new to me. Following their tutorial movies, I was able to eliminate a complex background and maintain at least 80% of the hair detail. I'm sure that once I get a feel for what I'm doing with it I'll be able to hold 95-98%.
I had a picture of some flowers that I took and I thought they came out pretty nice but the background was a mess. I have extracted before, many times but not really much with the extract tool. So I decided to give myself a project and to extract this picture using the extract tool and the history brush which I also never use. I knew these tools were available but always took alternate routes to extract.
I also sharpened the flowers, etc. It took me quite a while but it was a fun and educational project and I wanted to share my results and get some opinions. Here are the 2 pics, any comments are appreciated as I would really like to be able to master this technique. If you click on the extracted image you can see a bigger version of it.
If you had this picture how would you extract the person from it..(show sample)
I know its low-res, pixelated at the edges, the works but assume this is the job you got...
I've been giving it a run most of the afternoon just as a exercise on low res extractions which is often the case for me...I am normally ok at low-res extractions.
I just got Photoshop a couple of days ago and I even bought the book Photoshop for Dummies and I still have no idea what I'm doing.
I have a photo of my boyfriend and one of his grandfather and I want to cut both their faces out and paste them onto one pic with some kind of backround. Maybe do something like they're looking into a mirror of eachother. Anyways I can't even ficure out how to cut their faces off.
Many times after extracting an object, I will have some issues. The bulk of what I wanted to extract is there, but sometimes the borders and edges of the object are sketchy and in some cases transparent. What is the best way to get a more accurate extraction?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI used to work with another artist at a graphic design firm and he showed me a really cool way to put like an empty black, blurred mask behind people cutout or extraction which gave an illusion of depth. The mask really helped make the subject not look like an obvious knockout. He went through the steps and I should heave written it down, but failed to do so and lost the techniques.
I have been experiementing with doing a female model with flowing hair, like you see on the better fashion mags, saving the sel in channels and doing my editing there. Then I have tried using channel copies and using layer masks and it's still not the trick or result the PS artist was doing.
how I might be able to pull this masking technique out of the hat?
auto-extracting text from PSD files (with layers)? This has been a frustrating exercise for me as it is difficult to do this evertime i need to create a database from the text.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm working on making some animations, I know how the extraction tool works, but it's taking a long time to extract every frame. As each frame has the same outline, is it possible to save the extraction outline and export it to the next frame so I don't have to keep on extracting the same outline over and over?

Should I buy Corel Knockout 2 or EZ Mask.
I wonder if any one of you have used either of these filters and if they work well.
Ive setup some blocks which have attributes and have been successfully using a template to extract the data for a while. I just created a new block and tried extracting the data. All works fine except for BL:NAME returns '*U' instead of the block name. The block is called 'SM'. Is '*U' a code for something?
The old blocks still export fine.
what should i Select in data Extr wizard to get the readings of series dimension on one layer preferably

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to extract a vector displacement map out of three objects.
All three of them are on the same UV tile, with no overlap between each other.
All three of them have the same subdivision level and share the same Mudbox material.
I choose "Generate one map for all targets".
When hitting extract, Mudbox tells me that :
"Subdivision based map extraction is available only when the number of source and target meshes are the same".
Well its the case. With the same order in target and source models (A-B-C)
I've recently upgraded to 2013 but when I follow exactly the same Attribute Extraction process as used in 2012LT, the output throws out some duplicates and does not even process other data. I've been through the drawing thoroughly turning layers on/off and deleting text to try and suss out the problem but it just seems like a fault with the command.
Incidentally, I've extracted data from the same drawing in 2012 and 2013, and it all works fine in 2012.
I am working on a co-ordinate utility that utilises data extractions. I am able to extract the data that I want to an XML file, but how do I create a dxe file and link it to a table? I have found the WizardSettings has a table style, but that is as far as I have reached.My code is below.
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices;using Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices;using Autodesk.AutoCAD.DataExtraction;using System.Collections.Generic;using System.Data;using System.IO;using AcApp = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application;namespace acmCoordinates { public class DataExtraction { const string outputXmlFile = @"c:empdata-extract.xml"; public static void.

I have a favor to ask. In my drawings i have two distinct layer names (Say "ew" and "ns"). On these layers i have numerous plain text numbers in 5mm increments which are repeated many times throughout the drawing. What i would like to do is be able to start a VBA macro, have it ask the user to select an area by window on the drawing file, and have VBA look up and count the sum of all instances of each number occurring in the selected window. Then dump them into an excel spread sheet which i will then manipulate from there. An example output would look something like below: "NS" Layer Quantities... Height 25 30 35 40 45 and so on Total 56 33 62 39 50 "EW" Layer Quantities... Height 25 30 35 40 45 and so on Total 56 33 62 39 50 The ouput would require two rows of information. The top number would be the number on the drawing as text item and the lower row would be the total number of times that number appears in the selected area.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIf I use the data extraction tool in Express tools or go down the path of ATTEXT I can get an extraction result that includes block handle data. If I use the data extraction wizard I can't recover this handle data.
Is there a reason for this and can the data extraction (.DXE) template file be tweaked to accomplish this?
Here at the office we use a template I created using Data Extraction. After creating the table and inserting it, it works just fine. Then, if you make changes to the door or window you can click the "Download Changes From Source File" and it will update the table ... However, after saving it and trying to work on it the next day, it somehow unlinks the table I have in my drawing and I cannot "Download Changes From Source File" to update the table ... I checked under XREF and it shows it is loaded and I have it reading from the same path I saved it. I would like to know if there is a way to re-link the table to the .dxe file or how to prevent from it un-linking new tables?
View 0 Replies View RelatedI open an image/ Background layer. I duplicate that layer, and apply a Levels adjustment that I'm happy with.
I decide to do an "effect" layer such as sharpening, etc., but I want to be able to control the effect of the "Sharpening" Layer with the Opacity Slider, without effecting the Levels Layer below.
If I Duplicate the Levels Layer, or select Layer New-"Layer Via Copy" for the Sharpening Layer, moving the Opacity Slider, on the Sharpening Layer, will also effect the degree of Levels adjustment on the Levels Layer, as it's a Duplicate of that layer.
"New Layer", or "New Layer From Background" doesn't seem to work either?
i am just wondering what basic edits everyone does to their photographs before they hand them over to their clients? Mostly i try to get my photos the way i want them in camera, but always try to play around with contrast and brigtness and sharpness and ive just started to mess with curves....what does everyone else do? Or does it mainly just depend on the photo?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have both ImageReady and Photoshop but have never got the chance to actually tinker with any of them. Now, however, after seeing how much the programs can do, I really want to go serious with the programs. So I have a bunch of questions:
1. Photoshop, is it a generally easy program to learn?
2. Do you need to buy a book/tutorial or any of that stuff to really handle Photoshop or can you just tinker with the program and in a few months be able to handle it like a pro?
3. How do you add a border to an image using Photoshop?
4. How do you add letter or even a sentence in an image using photoshop?
The way that I cg is very simple, new layer+lasso tool for filling in areas+simple brush tool to fill in all areas missed. Only the last few times I've tried to fill in any missed area's my color is coming out darker everytime I go over it as if coloring with a marker.
Before it stayed one color and i was able to fill in area's quickly and with the exact color that i've chosen. I'm not sure as to how to get it back the way it was and I have no idea what I have done to change it. Anyone that can help I would greatly appreciate it.
filling an area with a pattern.
I have a simple image that is a black and white cut-out of an object. I have been trying to find a way to fill the white area with a piece of an image I have of an animal-print.
What is the easiest way to fill that area with the pattern?
Maybe make it so that the black and white cut-out actually performs like a cut out and you could just put the layer of the pattern underneath the cut-out?

I am making an image which will act as a border for a website. So i am using a color to blend to two together.
Which i thought would be easy seen as i had the HEX code for the color i was using. I have set the background of my page to the color (#CCFF99), and i have tried to fill in my image with the same color, but when they are both on the page, they look like a completly different shade.
Am i doing something wrong, or am i asking too much that i want the same shade on both an image and a page. I thought that was one of the plus points to HEX codes, so that i could have the same shade over and over!
