I'm trying to get rid of the excess background in this photo. It's kind of an orange color if you see what I'm talking about. The hair is especially difficult. I've tried the extract tool but haven't had much luck with it.
Im trying to cut out the background in a image, im actually trying to cut out the green screen background but when I do with the magic tool it either cuts out some of the person arm or something, or it would still be some green in the the image.
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.
need exctract object from background. What the best method for specific case? just tried Quck Mask, but without success due weak and unclear tutorial, plus take too many time fill large area with small #19 brush.
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.
When extracting a subject from one image to another using the Quick Selection Tool and Refine Edge:
1. When is it better to make a selection of the background, make a layer mask of it, invert it, load the mask and use Refine Edge VS. just making a selection of the subject and using Refine 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"!
I have some large collections of images: columns of 8 to 10 images across with as many as 40 to 60 rows. These are exported from a program called CatDV Pro. Between each row is gray space -- my problem is that I need to reduce that gray separator between the rows to make a better visual display and also to get it to fit on the page of the book. I have about 30 to 40 of these image collections to process.
Some things I cannot do: reduce the size of the gray separators in CatDV Pro -- not possible. It is only possible to export the entire page of images together. Sure I could export each individual image but that would be a garganuan task -- not practical.
I don't want to cut and paste indivdual images or rows. Sure, it's possible but not at all practical.
I have tried Content Aware Scaling and it is not uniform enough. Some rows squish before others. I know about protecting some area in Content Aware Scaling but that doesn't seem practical either, not with 40 rows. Maybe I'm missing something there.
Here is a small sample of what I start with:
And here is what I want to end up with. (keep in mind the actual files have many more rows):
I have just received a drawing, and getting message on excess drawing scales trying to xref it into drawing, how do i change scales, get rid of all different annotation scales how can i purge it?
I have created a series of circles starting with a base circle then using two transform operations -- one to copy it down then another to copy the whole set across. So that leaves me with a grid of circles.
I have created an irregular clipping mask to restrict the circles to within the area of the clipping mask (blue sploosh)
Everything looks fine in illustrator. I have included a snapshot here with the clipping mask released so that you can see the objects being worked with.
The problem comes in when I go to copy & past that artwork into photoshop. What I get is the full spread of (clipped) circles which messes up sizing inside photoshop. The clipping mask hid the excess circles but it did not get rid of them. I have further tried using the pathfinder crop tool but that doesn't seem to work with transformed objects. how I can get rid of the spare inner circles so they are really gone and not simply hidden by the clip mask?
We have a client who is looking to dispose of a large quantity of excess soil on a vacant property. We plan to hold the elevations near the northern property line, slope 2% in a southerly direction, then tie in at 3:1 slopes along the southern property line. What is the best method to determine where the break point between the 2% and the 3:1 tie grades would be?
I feel as though there is a shortcut for this problem. In this simple 3D model, I need to "cut" out the excess volume from the bottom of my 3D model. The thickness at all walls needs to be 1mm. Is there a simple solution to "vaccum" the extra space out from the bottom? The top shows the compartments.. but the problem is the excess space underneath.
I have a known outer boundary for my depo for excess soil. I know how much (volume wise) is going in to the depo. I know that the slope is 1:2.
I do not know where the upper boundary (top of the depo) of the depo is. That's what I would like to find out.
I know that I can create a upper boundary with a feature line and then use the grading and volume tool in order to find out at what height the upper boundary is placed. But then the outer boundary is either too small or exceeds the known boundary.
What is the easiest way of finding out where the upper boundary is? I am thinking about drawing a feature line around the known boundary on top of the EG surface and then using stepped offset. Then I can check out the volume.
But is it possible to do this automatically instead of manually?
I want to cut two faces out of one picture and place them into another picture onto two different peoplles bodies. I used the extract tool and got them there, used transform to make heads bigger(they distort and get fuzzy) and also the skin tones on the faces are way lighter than the bodies in 2nd picture.
Here's my case, I need to calculate how many colors used in the image and then extract each of them as a new layer(or new file) which means each layer/file contains each distinct color whatever the image is (might be a true color image or 256 colors), this bothers me a lot, how to do it in ps
i have a picture of a car and i would like to take some parts of the background out but not all of its how can i do its, i have tryed using Filter>Extract but it dosnt seem to work, and i read on a site that i can use Crop tool but i am not familuar with that tool is their another way to do this.
need to be able to extract the metadata that is displayed in Bridhge and CS from *.pdf and raw files so I can use it in my website to power image selections and various other tasks.
I need the file name and the metadata for each file. Ipresume the data is stored somehow in Bridge -- how can I get it exported into a comma delimited text file?
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?
I have an image that I would liked to get the shape from and enlarge to 24" (that is not the full-res image.). I am trying to extract the rings along with the torch, meanwhile making that pattern black and the background white. I can use the magic wand at certain tolerances to get it out, but, like the picture, the edges are not sharp, but pixelated. is there a way I can extract this shape but have very smooth and defined edges, even if the picture does not have them? im trying not to have to zoom in real far and use the lasso to outline the entire thing myself.
I might add that extract edges doesn't work too well on this image
I have that picture and would like to extract both logos and enlarge them. I tried using magic wand but it was hard. Plus a lot of the lines are not very straight.
i m making a 3d model of landscape design, i need some trees from photographs for visualization purposes in elevations. however it's not possible to extract them from a photograph neatly using extract tool from filter. how can i do a nice extraction?
Is it possible to extract raw luminance values from raw image files? Actually, a de-Bayerized flat matrix would be ideal but could (? maybe) deal with a 3 layer RGB matrix -- rather like the output from dcraw, only in PS. Preferably without gamma applied.
What I'd like to do: I'd like to use image stacking for exposure accumulation using "summation" but find that highlights blow out readily. Right now the workaround is to let the highlights go and bring them back with HDR from one (or more) of the original frames, but that's seriously clunky. I'd like a "scaled summation" where a luminance-dependent scaling factor is applied in the sum. I don't yet know how to get there from here in PS (there's a megaclunky way involving dcraw, Matlab, and a stacking program ...), but it seems to me that the first step is to get the luminance info.
