Photoshop :: Extracting An Image From Its Orignal Surroundings And Placing It Into An Artifical Envirnoment
Oct 8, 2006
extracting an image from its orignal surroundings and placing it into an artifical envirnoment is very hard,.. some times complex things like hair often tease.
I want to ultimately place some metadata such as lens focal length, time of day, exposure etc. onto an image. This could be an action that perform on each image. But it would be nice if it was automatic.
The result being to have a jpg file with this information in the corner of the image for myself and my client's reference. I can't seem to find either a plugin, action or script that will do this for me. These are simply proof / scouting shots. I would be just as happy doing this in Lightroom as well.
I'm still getting adjusted to PS 7 and I was wondering if anyone knows what happened to the Image > Extract command? Is it still there, but somewhere else or what? I loved that feature in PS 6 and it seemed so quick and easy. I've just used the crop tool in PS 7, but I'm just curious to know if the Extract command is still in PS 7 or not.
how to extract an image from the background, and also use that image without the background. I have extracted, but when I try to use that image elsewhere, powerpoint, it has a white background. Is there a way to do this and to have no background color?
When I prepare image which contain even text only, when saving image with low resolution(for compact size), I get diffused surroundings around the text. How to eliminate this? Since I use text only, it need be clear and sharp as posssible, as this a vector format, even with low resolution.
I have the attached image from which I am trying to produce a logo, eventually exporting it to illustrator. I have retaken the photo of the charcoal drawing so it is placed on the same paper it was drawn on and have managed to get a reasonable amount of space on the right hand edge but the left hand edge is proving beyond me. As there are so many greys and light greys, it is proving impossible to get a good selection. When I place the logo in my wordpress site it looks awful on the right hand edge.
Does any version of Photoshop Elements or Photoshop support a feature that would let me hide a selected region by blending in the colors and textures around that object?
Traditionally, people will copy and paste parts of a photo on either side of an object that they want to hide, but this usually results in a discrete line in the area of the object and close inspection usually shows the object was covered. I read somewhere that some version of Photoshop has a feature that would try to blend in the surroundings to remove the selected object, which results in a slightly more professional result.
I have an image that is semi-transparent. I am able to take the black out of the background around it, but am unsure about how to remove the actual background from behind the image. I need to superimpose this image onto another-hence the background change. I have the newest version of PS.
I made a Quick Selection of a person and am using the Refine Edge tool with the goal of extracting the person from the image so I can place her somewhere else.
I set the Smart Radius box, and Radius to about 2, smoothness to about 9, and then I take the Refine Radius tool. I start brushing around the edges of the hair to add missing strands to the selection.
1.) When brushing around the head, should the + that is in the middle of the brush be brushing on the very edge of the hair? Should it be touching both the edge of the hair and the background? How does it work best?
2.) Do you only want to use the Refine Radius tool over areas of hair? What else does it work well with?
I'm currently trying to place a watermark on my images, and I'd like it to appear a certain distance from the edge, regardless of the image's size. I tried using the "Place" command, but I don't think there's a way to specify a distance from the edge.
Below are listed the "step by step" procedure I'm going through, to isolate an image, "free" of any background. Each and every time, after removing the images original back ground, I'm left with a white back ground. List "process" by process..step by step, to "totally" isolate an image by itself (without any background) "whatsoever"!
I have now removed the background on (2) images. This is the process I go through in "order", and each time, I'm left with a white box in the background of my image.
"First" I load image.
Second I go to "layer"..
"Third" I go to "Transparency"
"Fourth", I click around image I desire to save...clicking on the "starting" point, till the ants start marching.
"Fifth", I click "select", scroll down and click "To Path"
"Sixth" I click on "Select", scroll down and click "Invert"!
how to go about making a frame or edging around and image such as the photo example.
This is what I was told to do, but cannot make head to tail from it:
Magic wand outside the picture. Select>Inverse. Stroke - set to 1 pixel and desired colour. New Layer Move Marquee box to desired position Stroke again Move 2nd layer to back
i have a client who has asked me to include her company logo, along with text, on a digital photograph which i then will have printed. writing text on a photo in photoshop is simple enough, but i don't know how to drop the logo (i've been sent two copies, jpg and tif) onto the photo.
Just for clarification, are there any drawbacks to just dragging an image from my desktop onto an artboard instead of placing it? The image will not be autotraced, and will become part of a layout in my AI file.
I am trying to figure out how to automate/make an action that will allow me to batch place an image onto numerous other images much like a watermark, but with only adjustment layers and their layer masks.
I run Photoshop Cs6 and this has just recently began, after it has been working fine. After placing the image I would go to select my tool to edit the picture and it crashes.
I can place the photo just fine its always afterwards when I try to do something to it dose it crash, its like the smart object is protect it from editing as the moment I click on any thing even to merge visible it instantly crashes.
I am still able to open the pictures and edit them this way with no problems, its just after they are moved onto a different canvas dose the problem emerge. I run Windows 7 Home Premium
When I try to place a picture in photoshop CS6 either from drag&drop in the application window or from the place command, my image gets automatically resized based on the resolution (pixels per inch) of my document.
Example:
I create a new blank document, 1000*1000px @ 300ppi.I have another image that I want to place in the document and this image measures 500*500px @ 100ppi.I then go to File->Place and the image that appears is way too big. In the Info panel, it says that the image is 1500x1500 and the transform settings at the top indicate that the image hasen't been scaled because both width and height are at 100%.If I cahnge my document resolution (no resample) to 100ppi, the image has the right size when I place it.
Is this normal? Because it has never done that with past versions of Photoshop. If it is normal, is there a way I can change this because placing an image based on it's physical (printed) size makes absolutely no sense. 1 pixel = 1 pixel.
When I place an image it seams to always place it in black and whit. I have uninstalled and it is still doing the same. When I open the same image in a new doc its fine.
I have many photos of the busts/heads of statues that I would like to extract to follow the outline of the head/bust to then use to create a transparent .png file for use in graphics projects. Can PSP do this? How? I see that the default setting for a photograph is a single background layer; do you create a duplicate layer and then what?
The company logo is two words. It's in Irish and has a fada on top of one letter.(hence it is harder to find a nice font)
I'm trying to take the logo from the pdf it's in, and apply it to a poster i have designed. I'd like to be able to change the size of the lettering and color etc once it's in the new image. I've tried the "path tool", and also cropping it and copy/paste to the new image, but the background color that comes with it looks awful!
I am having trouble placing a rollover image onto a Dreamweaver CS6 page. I use Photoshop 7.0 and the program Adobe Image Ready which came with it. I have been successfully placing my animations created in this older Image Ready software onto Dreamweaver pages.
I simply insert the image and the animation plays in live view, preview and on the web. I'm having trouble however placing animations that have rollover effects onto a web page. ImageReady gives me multiple gif files for the slices associated with the rollover instead of just one gif for an animation without rollover, and an html file if I want one. I don't know how to handle the multiple gifs and the html file.
after clicking "OK", these go to 160,2 mm or less than 160 mm.
The same with the sizes and places of objects etc. I create a 20 x 20 mm circle. One click later it is 19,89 x 19,89. I set it's location to X: 80 mm, Y: 80 mm. One click later: 80,02mm
I have this cirlce that I have filled with a radial gradient fill that I would like to place an image inside of. The problem is when I put the image in there the background of the image is white so the gradient does not show through...how do I fix this?
