to replace the background colour to another colour in this jpg file.
Everytime I select with the magic wand, the picture is not selected correctly. I am not sure what tolerance level to use. Whether Anti-aliased and Contiguous checkboxes should be checked or not.
I open a jpg image. It becomes "background" and locked in layers panel. I want to edit it so i click in layers panel, and get a box where I can call the layer a name and it changes from background to layer ( in my beginner´s terminology...)
When I click on "Ok" the image disappears, or really i think it becomes transparent, because in layer´s panel it is still visible. What has happened? I have done well all day, and suddenly this happens.

How to resize the image without changing the size of the background? When I try it makes the picture fit exactly into the background when that is not what I want to do. Also the image is in a different layer than the background .

Using, "Color to Alpha," I tried to select the background of my .jpg image. The background is white, the picture (logo) portion is silver. Because of the closeness in color, when I select white, the software selects the entire image to become alpha (transparent).
When I select the color of the picture, silver, I am able to select just the logo portion. How can I take the logo portion, which is now converted to transparent, and give it a black or transparent background, and then return the logo back to its former color silver. The logo is perfect, it is just that I recently switched my site from a white header to a black header and the image has a white background, so that does not look good.

I want to change the size of the image in Gimp to 3957x4429 px (67x75 cm) at a 150dpi (the image we have has a 300 dpi.) When i do this in image - print size it keeps changing the width.

I'm on a Mac 10.8.2 w/ CS6 13.0.
This is one of the tutorials that seems very straight forward(except for a couple typo's) but when I try it, I'm told the file could not be copied to clipboard because it's too large...however it does appear to paste the car over the bottom photo? Or did it?
"First open one of the shots in PhotoShop and select the entire image by pressing Ctrl-A, then cut or copy the image into the clipboard (Ctrl-X or Ctrl-C, either will do the trick), now close this image ... without saving ! Very important, we don't want to change the original image file, you never know you might need it again in the future.
Now create a new document (Ctrl-N) and just click 'OK', no need to change any of the settings, they are set to the content of the clipboard anyway so I can leave them 'as is'. Once the blank document is there hit the Ctrl-V to paste the first image into place. Time to open the second exposure, again Ctrl-A to select the entire shot, cut or copy the image (Ctrl-X or Ctrl-C) and close this file again (Ctrl-W)... do NOT safe the changes to keep the original image intact !
With this second image closed again I am automatically returned to my new document that already contains my first exposure, just hit Ctrl-C to paste the second exposure on top of this one and I'm halfway done already. The order of these shots isn't really that important, you will be exposing parts of one shot into the second one, which one lies below doesn't matter anyway."

Let's say the screen shot below is workable, if not I'll do it the correct way BUT how do I make the brillant layer masking work from here. Everything I've seen says to select the mask, then select the brush, then type of brush, make sure white is the foreground and black is background and just paint. When I paint nothing happens to my images?

View 14 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to change the background layer colour once you've started a document?
When I first created my document (in PS CS2, if that makes a difference) it automatically set my background colour as sepia, instead of white.
I'm now working on a painting and just realised that I can't use white; PS is calling this sepia colour white, and I can't get anything lighter.
Is there a way to fix this? I've done it on a few pictures now and I don't want to have to start everything over.
I've just tried making a new document with a white background layer and the same thing still happens! What is this?! I'm sure this can't be right! I'm on some sort of sepia scale; I can't even do grays. *desperate*
I seem to be having problems when I lasso round a specific part of a photo taken with a white background and then try to add that part of the image to a plain #000000 black background.
I always seem to get a white outline around the image when I place it on the black background, even when its on ZERO feathered. I don't like using feathered as it adds a smudge round the outside of the image.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an image of a long-haired cat on a burgundy background. My client (I kid you not) would like me to change the background to dark blue.
Â
I fiddled with several methods but couldn't get the fine, long hairs that are in front of the background to look right. Eventually, I decided to try the selection/refine edge process...
Â
I put a blue background under the layer with the cat on the burgundy background. I selected the cat, staying INSIDE the edge so none of the burgundy was selected. I went into Refine Edge and adjusted the radius until I had most of the edge fur selected. This was about 75 pixels. I tried Smart Radius, but it didn't seem to make the fur selection any smarter... So, I currently have it off . I then got the Refine Radius Tool and started doing a little selecting to get the fur right. This is where I hit the problem.
Â
As I select around an ear, for example, I can see the burgundy background show up. When I release the selection, the burgundy disappears and is replaced by the blue. GREAT. BUT, instead of staying OUTSIDE the ear, the inner part of the ear ALSO gets turned blue. The same thing happens all along the edge of the cat - sometimes I get a pretty good selection, other times the blue permeates the area I was selecting. It's not 100%, but it's not ZERO percent either... This MAY not be a huge problem in some spots, but it's a BIG problem, for example, in the ears.
Â
So, I get done selecting, and I have blue around the cat. I click Decontaminate Colors to get rid of the blue and/or the burgundy from all around the cat. It works in places - along sides and such where the fur is shorter. But, the ears are still blue as are some of the longer tail fur. I ran the amount between 50% and 100%, and although the decontaminate gets better, it never gets really good.
Do and Output to a new layer with a mask, figuring I'll just clean up some of the problem areas on the mask. Doesn't work. I can open the mask. I can see that instead of having a white cat outline, I have a PARTIAL white cat outline but the face, ears, and some areas are shades of gray.
Â
So, on the image layer, I take a white brush at 100% and try to clean up the mask, painting over the ears to have the fur and ear detail come back, but it just comes in as mush. NO detail.
Â
Am I using the wrong tool? Magic wand is nowhere NEAR detailed enough to give me a really good selection. Replace color leaves me with a blue background but burgundy edges.
Â
If I'm using the right tool, am I just expecting too much from the tool? 'Cause whatever I'm getting, it's sort-of working, but not well enough for what I need.

I'm trying to edit a picture of my wife from our wedding. She loves a picture that wasn't one of our formals but wants to use it as a formal picture. The problem is the background is completely different then the background of the formal pics.
I've been able to clone the formal background into most of the picture but I'm stumped with the parts that are behind her veil (which is see-through). I'm trying to go from a tannish color to a dark blue/black. Anytime I select the area and try and darken it I also darken her white veil.
