Photoshop :: Create Mask Around Subject?
May 11, 2006
I have a picture of my Dog that I took in front of out old house. It has cars and other junk in the background.
Is there any way I can create a mask around my Dog so that I can cut out that portion and paste it onto a better background ?
Coming from a background in Micrografx Picture Publisher (which is no longer made) in that program all I had to do was:
1)define a basic mask
2)click on the edit mask tool

Ive been looking through various tutorials on how to create a mask that leaves the detail of the hair of the subject in
It seems all the tutorials I have looked at choose a subject with jet black hair, invert it, and hey presto, job done
Unfortunately, all my kids have got fair hair, and no matter what I try, find it almost indistinguishable from the background
How to do this, cos im losing my mind trying to paint strands of hair in and having the result look like Ive cut the image out of a magazine with a pair of left handed scissors (im right handed!)

i have a shot in an office where i have a subject walking in front of some really bright windows. i added an adjustment layer and made 6 mask squares over the windows and brought down the brightness a bit. of course when the subject walks in front of those windows you can see the shaded mask on him.
im not sure what you call it but what do i do to him to keep the mask from showing on him?
not sure if i should make another thread but ill ask this as well in here...in the same shot because of the bright windows originally the rest of the scene inside the office is dark. how do i brighten the rest of the scene without affecting the windows? i tried duplicating the adjustment layer with the 6 masks and inverting them so i can brighten everything but windows but no matter what i did i couldnt get it to work.

Win7x32 and PS CS6.
To reproduce bug create any new file. Create levels layer with any mask. Activate "mask viewing" by pressing Option/Alt and clicking to mask icon on the levels layer in layers panel. Then try to call menu->select->color range.

I am working on a video piece and I need to mask out a moving figure throughout the entire video, what is the best way to to this? I know that I can import the video frames to layers in CS3 and then create a mask on each frame, but there are thousands of frames - and when I render the video from the animation it is slow to run in quicktime. Even if I were able to edit each frame, it seems like there should be a better way.

I trying to add subject from different pictures into one picture (as shown in the picture attached). the problem that I have is: when I drag one subject to another picture, the subject come bigger than the subject in the new picture.

Way back I did this but now cannot duplicate it. I'm using PS 5.0. I changed a photo to B&W and then I think I used the eraser to change my granddaughter back to the 'colored' version. It's like what is done in a TV commercial.

How does one go about creating a layer clipping mask using the SDK?What I want to do is to simulate clicking on the "Make/Release Clipping Mask" button (the left-most picture button) that is at the bottom of the Layers Panel.

I have about 100 images similar to the example below where the background is a neutral grey, darker at the edges then becoming lighter as it reaches the image subject. I'm looking for a way to lighten the grey background without have to mask the item in the center.

I am by no means very professiant in photoshop, but do know a thing or two. I took several pictures of my daughter (who wears glasses) and there is a black spot over one eye. I am assuming that it has something to do with glare from the flash on the glasses. I have photoshop elements 7.

I have a number of pictures where background is dull or boring while subjects in foreground are lively. So I want to switch the background with lets say a plane color with some gradient to give it a studio appearence.
The first problem I have is to select the foreground subject sharply, much difficut because of hairline etc.
So how can I select my subject in the most easy way so that outlines are sharp & none of the details are missing.

I'm currently working on a project in which I have a background that has a large text layer above it. What I want to do is create a sort of "dynamic" clipping mask that essentially subtracts the shape of the text from the background yet remains editable as text in case I need to change the word or font.
However every way I've tried so far as been met with the backgrounds instead being constrained inside of the shape of the text...which is NOT what I want.
How can I do this while still having the text able to be edited?

On the Artboard are a few lines of text (black on the white background) and an image. Let's call the item being created a "placard." The placard's content part works...all is well with the text and image.
Adding rounded corners to the placard does not work.
Added a "rounded rectangle" with an imperceptible stroke (very dark blue)Tried various combinations of colors for the rectangle's fill (e.g., [None], white, black, red, very dark blue) behind the text, thenTried to create a clipping mask (so the resulting placard has rounded corners). I have wasted hours attempting and researching (RTM and videos) how to do this...and can clip with two very simple colored boxes...yet cannot get the placard to end up with a rounded edge.

I am looking for a way to create an opacity mask through JavaScript. My program has the correct items selected, I just can't seem to find any documentation about creating an opacity mask. If I run the program as is, I just need to click one button ( "Make Mask") and the desired process is completed. Of course I would love to find a way to do this programmatically.
If I cannot access Opacity mask, is there a way to manually do this through grouping and blending or something?

This is something I recently wanted to do, but found that the clipping in Edge Animate only allows us to make a square or rectangle shape. I'm pretty disappointed by this because technically you can make a circular, or elliptical, clip shape using HTML5 and CSS3. Also, the same is true for masks. I would love to see this as a future update in Edge Animate because I can see a few more instances where I would want to use clipping, or masking, in this way.

What tool what method can I use to reclaim this darkened subject? I attempted to use the lasso tool to snag the subject then used the 'shadow/highlight' tool to adjust. Though the details are intact within the subject the results were less than acceptable.

I have created a heart object. When I powerclip an object inside the heart, I would like the object to be faded around the edges of the heart. I might want the edges of the graphic to be unevenly faded or feathered (I hope these are the correct terms). I also want to do this with an oval I created.
