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 Replieshow 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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just tried a demo of OnOne's MaskPro 4. Although I've got to spend some time with it, it appears that this may be the answer to the 'background removal' issue we all wrestle with. It's features may already exist in some other extraction plug-ins,
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 2 Replies View RelatedI am creating a schedule with a .dxe file, which extracts data from attributes into a schedule. Is there a way to link this file so it is a "relative path" instead of a full path. IE: The .dxe file is liked to the same folder that contains the current drawing, not linked to my C:/AutoCad drawings/Job Name/folder2... I really want to be able to move the drawing and .dxe to a different folder and not have the link broken.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am not very familiar with block attributes or data extraction. I have lots of questions.
i have 20 blocks each inserted multiple times. I would like to provide drop down menus to track each individual part and label size, location, etc. Can i insert attributes to one block and copy the attributes to other blocks?
Can i pull in info from an excel document, or do i have to enter the info line by line in the lookup table? (i have 400 names to assign in one of the dropdown menus)
Step by step process to pull the info from the attributes in these blocks into an Access document?
I have a drawing set to UTM83 Zone 14 Meters and my drawing units is set to meters also. I created my surface from my point cloud. When i do the contour extract feature (surface object extract), the contours elevation is in the wrong datum or elevation? The surface contour is 620 but the same extracted contour says 188.97? Curious why this happens. It seems to me that it is back calculate elevation or datum to a different coodinate system.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI want to extract 3 different variable strings based on one large string such as:
"2013_ARCH-Lev01.dwg" <or "2014_STRC-Lev00-BM">
and the 3 variables are:
Dim YEAR As String
Dim TRADE As String
Dim LEVEL As String
YEAR = 2013 <or 2014>
TRADE = ARCH <or STRC>
LEVEL = 01 <or 00-BM>
I was thinking of using the first four digits "(0,1,2,3)" for YEAR?
using the next four digits following the underscore "_(0,1,2,3)" for TRADE?
using the rest of the digits following the dash "-(unknown)" for LEVEL?
how to control the AO map, I want to extract?
I have a character that gets so much shadows from the own body (under chin, under arms, betweens legs) and I want to restrict this with a shorter ray, so AO calculation stops "behind the wrinkles", understand?
But no matter what search distance I set, what mode I use, I always get the same useless result.
Seems like i export the data of thickness, diameter, lenght and mass to excel via dataextraction, but if i change something in the drawing, its not updated in the excel file..
I also wanted to export the data to an already existing part list template, but this seems impossible...

I create named views for each area that will become its own sheet when I go to paperspace. Right or wrong that seems to make it easy to create all of the layouts.
I would like to be able to create a table thru attribute extraction that will take-off parts in an individual named view so each layout sheet will have a parts list for only the items I want shown on that sheet.
The only two options I see in attribute extraction are for model space only and entire drawing. Am I going at this wrong?
Example: I would like a table showing all of the window types on level 1, level 2, etc. on the same sheet as the key plan for that level.
I'm doing a data extraction with a block with attributes. When I extract the data, it sort like the image below. I want it to sort 1,2,3,4,5,etc...
