How do you fill in one part of a picture with the color from another part in PS CS2?

I'm making business cards from some of my artwork, and I've had to extend the width of the picture (extended canvas size on either side) to fit the size parameters. Here's the pic.  It's kind of hard to see the white extended edges on the side against this background, but they're there.
I want to fill in the added canvas with the red background color of the original picture, so how do I do that in CS2?  I've gotten far enough to figure how to take samples of the background color with the sample tool, but I can't figure out how to deposite the color in those areas of added canvas on the sides. And please, I have very, very basic knowledge of this photoshop stuff, so I need instructions for dummies. I can paint anything with a brush, but this stuff is different!
Thanks for any fyi.

To get the red colour the Eyedropper tool would do, then fill the areas with the Paint Bucket,  but this would look obvious as the colour would be flat and untextured.
Instead, use the Clone Stamp tool to pick up your texture and deposit it in the white areas.
If you work on a new layer you can then blur with the Blur tool any resulting sharp border to the original and then flatten the final image.
I can think of lots more ways but this is the simplest.
If the terms in bold type are unfamiliar, look them up in Photoshop Help (Press F1).

  • How do you organize multiple mailboxes for each accepted domain with the same local part?

    Let's say we are aceppting emails for the two domains wine-and-cheese.com and beer-and-pretzels.com.
    I plan to create two mailboxes [email protected] and [email protected]
    By default, the local part of the SMTP address uses the alias, which is the same as the sAMAccountName. Since I cannot have two AD users with the same sAMAccountName, I choose to name them "info-wine" and "info-beer". The result is, that
    I have two mailboxes with the address [email protected] and [email protected], respectively.
    One thing I could think of would be to manually add [email protected] and [email protected] to the corresponding mailboxes. I prefer to avoid anything that has to be done manually.
    Another idea, that involves manual editing is, to change the aliases of both mailboxes to "info", but that results in having the second mailbox create the SMTP address info2@….
    I am very interested how you handle those situations, particularly in bigger companies with more than 50 employees and 75 mailboxes.

    Hi ,
    Alright , based on my knowledge i have given some points please have a look in to this.
    Step 1 :
    Please create the first user account on AD in the below format.
    info as the first name in AD
    wine as the last name in AD
    Then please create the second user account on the AD in the below format.
    info as the first name in AD
    beer as the last name in AD
    Step 2 :
    Then you need to have the email address policy with the custom type attribute which should apply the email address based upon the first name.So that all the email address will have the first name (i.e ) "info" on the prefix.
    Custom type attribute should have to be like
    %[email protected]
    %[email protected]
    %[email protected]
    %[email protected]
    Note : The custom type attribute which is created first will be the primary address for all those mailboxes.In the above example
    @wine.com will be the primary smtp address for those mailboxes .In case if you want some set of mailboxes need to have the suffix @wine.com as the primary smtp address and some set of mailboxes to have the suffix @beer.com as the primary smtp
    address then you need to create the separate email address policy with rules.

  • I need to replace a color on my image with a specific color from another part of the image.  How?!

    I have spent over 2 hours trying to figure out how to replace a color on one part of my image with a specific color shown on another part of the image.  So far I have been able to go to "Replace Color" on my Adobe Photoshop version, but it seems that I can only change the hue and brightness of the color that it currently is.  I need to use a specific color so this does not help me.  Does anyone know how to complete the task I am referring to?
    Also, please keep in mind that I am using Adobe Photoshop 6.0, not a fancy cs version or anything.  So it's pretty old school...
    Any help/feedback is greatly appreciated!  Thank you.

    Hi brookehelene,
    You might consider making a selection the object and using a color fill layer set to the color blend mode instead of replace color.
    I used the same picture as kendallplant did and changed the color on the same flower by sampling the pink color from the flower to the right)
    (click on the screenshots below for larger views)
    1. Select>Color Range
       (i used color range because the dialog is somewhat similar to the replace color dialog, except one is making a selection instead of replacing a color)
       (there are many other ways to make the selection such as the magic wand, so if your more familar with the other selection tools you can use those instead to make your selection)
    2. Use the eyedroppers and fuzziness slider in the color range dialog to make the selection of the object.
       (in the screenshot below the white areas are selected and black areas are not)
       (your selection probably won't be perfect, but you can paint on the layer mask to refine the selection)
    3. After you press the okay in the color range dialog you'll see the selection (marching ants)
       At the bottom of the layers palette press the Create New Fill or Adjustment Layer icon
       to reveal a list and choose Solid Color.
       Then use the eyedropper to sample a color from your image and press ok.
       Change the Blend mode for the color fill layer to Color (top of the layers palette)
    4. As you can see a lot has been selected besides the flower.
        To refine the areas of color, paint on the layer mask with the paintbrush tool.
        Use white to add the color or black to subtract the color
        You can press the D key on the keyboard to get the default colors (black and white) in the toolbox
        and press the X key to switch between the two when painting on the layer mask.
    Even though the above takes longer you can easily change the color or modify the areas that you want to change the color on.
    To change the color you can double click on the color fill icon in the layers panel.
    You can also use other layer blend modes besides color such as hue, so you might try some of the others and see what they do.

  • How do you reinstall iMovie when it came pre-installed with the Mac?

    Hi,
    I was wondering how you reinstall imovie 11 (i think) when the software came pre-installed on the Mac. I purchased my Mac in August 2011 it is the iMac (Mid 2011 model) I am running Lion. No discs came with the Mac for the option to reinstall.
    The reason i wish to reinstall it is because it keeps crashing on startup. I load the application and it opens but then after a few moments of loading up the rainbow wheel appears and never goes away, the app then is none responsive and I have to force quite the app.
    Any help would be appriciated
    Cheers

    Hi Ralph,
    I live in the UK and i have called apple support but it is all automated and as i don't have apple care they said that i would need to open an incident which would cost £35. iMovie on the Mac App store is only £10.50!
    do you know of another way of contacting them for an issue like this? is there anyone i can speak to on an online chat?

  • Can I activate iPhone 4S with a SIM from one country and then use with a SIM from another country?

    I bought a factory unlocked iPhone 4S from an Apple store in the U.S. and I am in Guatemala. I want to use it now but later on I will move to New Zealand. Can I activate it with a SIM card from Guatemala and then use it with a SIM card from New Zealand? I am just wondering if it will get locked with the Guatemalan SIM card. Or does it just need a SIM from any supported carrier and then it remains unlocked to use with any other carrier? Thanks

    David,
    As I (mis)understand it, you may:
    1) Copy one orange gradient path to the magenta gradient path document;
    2) Select the two magenta gradient paths and change the Fill to None;
    3) Select the orange gradient path;
    4) Select the two magenta gradient paths and change the Fill to Gradient.
    That should give you the desired replacement. For multiple use of the same gradient, you may consider a gradient swatch.

  • How do you show multiple products horizontally rather than vertically with the module_productfeaturelist?

    I am trying to have 3 to 4 featured products that share the same tag next to each other rather than stacked.  Is there a way to do this by customizing the "List of Products by Tag" or is there another module I should be using?
    What i am currently getting is this and I would like the side by side instead:
    {module_productfeaturelist,featured,3,Weight,,true}

    Your monitor would need an HDMI connection to hook it to AppleTV.  AppleTV would need to be on the same network as the IMac, presumably wireless if you don't want to run cables.
    You would then need to use Airplay Mirroring, and that requires reasonably modern Macs, see:
    About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X
    I don't know for certain but if you set up an automatic powerpoint slideshow you could probably export to an AppleTV compatible movie files, and then play that to AppleTV via iTunes as well, which ought to work with older Macs but video might need to be set to loop or repeat itself a lot.
    If you want to use Airplay Mirroring buthave an old Mac, then AirParrot software has a demo, and some people find this ok.

    The American Creed by William Tyler Paige
    I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.

  • How do you fill in a form that was saved as a template? When I try, the "template" shifts, which is not how a template should work!

    How do you fill in a form that was saved as a template? When I try, the "template" shifts, which is not how a template should work!
    Templates, as I understand them, are fixed; you can "fill them in" without shifting them. Yet, I've saved doc as a template AND it shifts. Argh!

    Thanks for your response.
    I've managed to fix it but I wouldn't recommend the following as I'm sure its unsupported and I'll probably have problems down the line
    On the host
    * mv /etc/zones /etc/zones.bak
    * reboot single user
    * apply kernel patch (the one that ultimately I had to get on and which was giving pre-req dependency errors when running zones)
    * create a new zone now that host system is all up to date
    * Copy the operating system directories of the new zone (the one that's all patched) over the troublesome zone (the one that can't take the patch). Take backups first
    * cd /zones/new-zone/root
    * find sbin -print | cpio -pudm /zones/bad-zone/root
    * find usr -print | cpio -pudm /zones/bad-zone/root
    * find lib -print | cpio -pudm /zones/bad-zone/root
    * cd /zones/new-zone/root/var
    * find sadm -print | cpio -pudm /zones/bad-zone/root/sadm (this copies patches and pkgs directories and I'm sure a lot of other stuff that I didn't want)
    * mv /etc/zones.bak /etc/zones
    * reboot host
    * boot the old zone up. It should now have up to date patches
    I'm sure there are real no-no's in taking this approach but it seems to have worked for me. I'll update if I find there are some horrors down the line
