Need help with greenscreen tutorial

Hello forum members.  I have recently started using photoshop for the first time and have been racking my brain out on this issue.
I took shots on a green screen and want to extract the subject and place onto another picture.
I decided to look at a tutorial on youtube and it seemed pretty simple on the video but here's my issue.  I've already created a layer mask of the subject and now when I try to duplicate layer to place it in the other picture, everything transfers over except the subject.  So basically all I see is the green and the black from the mask but not the picture of the person in the shot.
I'm doing exactly what the person is doing in the video but I'm wondering is there something different I need to do since the tutorial is using pc and I'm using mac.  Can anyone help?

When I drag and drop, the subject seems to explode into a super sized giant.  Then when I try to zoom out, the entire picture shrinks.  How can I just shrink the subject?

  • I need help with this tutorial from the Adobe website

    I'm almost done with my flash game which I created with flash pro cc. And i have been looking for tutorials to integrate my game to the Facebook and this is the only one I found. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/games/articles/getting-started-with-facebooksdk-actionscript3. html
    Am I on the right track?? The editor uses Flash Builder but I'm using Flash Pro cc.
    --- On Step 2: "Set up a development server for the Flash app",
            Sub-step #2. "To simplify the development process, configure Flash Builder to compile into your htdocs/fbdemo folder and run (or debug) the app on your server (see Figure 2)."
    1) But I can't find "ActionScript Build Path"(which is highlighted on the Figure 2 screenshot) or anything like that in Flash pro. Same for the "Output folder URL".
    Can I actually do the same things with Flash Pro cc?? Also #3 is "Verify that your app runs from your server." How do you run your app from your server??
    ---- On Step 4: "Initialize the Facebook JS SDK",
    2) so if I setup a server on a localhost just like the tutorial, I don't need to change the following? This is on line #6.
    channelUrl : 'www.YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/channel.html'
    can i just leave it like that ?
    3) So if I complete the tutorial, can facebook users play my game? or do i have more things to do?
    4) is there any other tutorial for Flash Pro CC to Facebook integration???
    Thank you so much for your help and time.

    this is an excerpt from http://www.amazon.com/Flash-Game-Development-Social-Mobile/dp/1435460200/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF 8&qid=1388031189&sr=8-1&keywords=gladstien
    The simplest way to hook into Facebook is to add their Plugins to add a Like button, Send button, Login button etc to your game.  If you only want to add a Like button to a page on your website, you can use the following iframe tag anywhere (between the body tags) in your html document where you want the Facebook Like button to appear:
    <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=yoursite.com/subdirectory/page.html" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; width:500px; height:25px"></iframe> 
    Where the href attribute is equal to the absolute URL to your html file.  For example:
    <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=kglad.com/Files/fb/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; width:500px; height:25px"></iframe>
    points to index.html in kglad/com/Files/fb.
    However, to get the most out of Facebook you will need to use JavaScript or the Facebook ActionScript API and register your game on the Facebook Developer App page.  Before you can register your game with Facebook, you will need to be registered with Facebook and you will need to Login. 
    Once you are logged-in, you can go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps and click Create New App to register your game with Facebook.  (See Fig11-01.) 
    ***Insert Fig11-01.tif***
    [Facebook's Create New App form.]
    Enter your App Name (the name of your game) and click continue.  Complete the Security Check (see Fig11-02) and click Submit.  You should see the App Dashboard where you enter details about your game.  (See Fig11-03.)
    ***Insert Fig11-02.tif***
    [Security Check form.]
    ***Insert Fig11-03.tif***
    [App Dashboard with Basic Settings selected.]
    If you mouse over a question mark, you will see an explanation of what is required to complete this form.  Enter a Namespace, from the Category selection pick Games, and then select a sub-category. 
    Your game can integrate with Facebook several ways and they are listed above the Save Changes button. You can select more than one but for now only select Website with Facebook Login and App on Facebook, enter the fully qualified URL to your game and click Save Changes. (See Fig11-04.)
    ***Insert Fig11-04.tif***
    [Facebook integration menu expanded.]
    You can return to https://developers.facebook.com/apps any time and edit your entries.  Your game(s) will be listed on the left and you can use the Edit App button to make changes and the Create New App button to add another game.
    Click on the App Center link on the left.  (See Fig11-05a and Fig11-05b.)  Fill in everything that is not optional and upload all the required images. Again, if you mouse over the question marks you will see requirement details including exact image sizes for the icons, banners and screenshots.
    ***Insert Fig11-05a.tif***
    [Top half of the App Center form.]
    ***Insert Fig11-05b.tif***
    [Bottom half of the App Center form.]
    When you are finished click Save Changes and Submit App Detail Page.  You should then see Additional Notes and Terms. (See Fig11-06.)
    ***Insert Fig11-06.tif***
      [Additional Notes and Terms.]
    Tick the checkboxes and click Review Submission.  If everything looks acceptable, click Submit.  You should then see something like Fig11-07.
    ***Insert Fig11-07.tif***
      [After agreeing with Facebook's terms, you should be directed back to App Center and see this modal window.]
    You are now ready to integrate your game with Facebook's API.  Because there is a Facebook ActionScript API that communicates with Facebook's API, you need not work directly with the Facebook API.
    But before I cover Adobe's Facebook ActionScript API, I am going to cover how you can use the Facebook JavaScript API directly.  There no reason to actually do that while the Facebook ActionScript API still works but by the time you read this, the Facebook ActionScript API may no longer work.
    In addition, this section shows the basics needed to use any JavaScript API so it applies to any social network that has a JavaScript API including the next "hot" social network that will arise in the future.

  • Need help with JCAPS tutorial

    Hi,
    I'm just getting started with JCAPS, and am going through the Java(TM) Composite Application Platform Suite Tutorial. I'm at the point of defining the fields for the CustomerInfo message. The tutorial says to set the Part Type to xsd:string. However, when I click on the [...] to select type, I get an error dialog "Fail to load Simple Types". The 'Select part' dialog that comes up is completely empty.
    Any clues as to what I have missed? Is there something I need to install in the repository?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave

    OK, never mind. I went back into the repository and loaded a bunch of stuff, updated eDesigner, and now I get the list.
    I must say I'm finding this to be very confusing. The tutorial is a lot of "do this, then do this" with no explaination of why or how it all fits together. That is where I am the most confused; how does it all fit together. Just like with this problem; I really don't like taking such a shotgun approach to solving problems. I have no idea what the problem was, or what I did that fixed it. That, to me, isn't really helpful.

  • I need help with greenscreen for Elements 12

    I purchased Adobe Elements 12 at best buy after a discussion with the associate that i needed a program to work with my greenscreen.  He said adobe elements 12 was the perfect match and how easy it was to work with a greenscreen.  Unless i'm stupid he lied.  I spent 4 hours last night fighting with the program and searching the net for help.  so far as far as i can tell i was lied to and i have to spend more money to make this work.  am i missing something that is really easy and in my face or does elements 12 suck for greenscree?

    Just Google:
    "green screen photoshop elements"
    and you'll find many tutorials about this.

  • Need help with a simple process with FTP Adapter and File Adapter

    I am trying out a simple BPEL process that gets a file in opaque mode from a FTP server using a FTP adapter and writes it to the local file system using a File Adapter. However, the file written is always empty (zero bytes). I then tried out the FTPDebatching sample using the same FTP server JNDI name and this work fine surprisingly. I also verified by looking at the FTP server logs that my process actually does hit the FTP server and seems to list the files based on the filtering condition - but it does not issue any GET or RETR commands to actually get the files. I am suspecting that the problem could be in the Receive, Assign or Invoke activities, but I am not able identify what it is.
    I can provide additional info such as the contents of my bpel and wsdl files if needed.
    Would appreciate if someone can help me with this at the earliest.
    Thanks

  • Need help with Page Layout and Background Scaling

    hello, everyone.
    I am in the process of designing a new website for myself,
    and while I was researching nicely designed pages to use as
    inspiration, I stumbled upon this site:
    http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/
    obviously, the design is very impressive, but it also
    incorporates a lot of web mechanics that I have been trying to
    figure out, so I will use this page as an example.
    one thing I need help with is backgrounds. as you can see in
    the posted website, the creator used a seamlessly tiled paper
    texture to display the bulk of his content on. also make not of the
    pattern that is located to the left of the paper texture. how do I
    create seamless backgrounds like this that will scale to fit any
    amount of content or any resolution? I can't imagine that the guy
    that made that site created a new size background every time he
    made an update, so there has to be an easier way.
    the second thing that I am having trouble with is general
    site layout. I have read that most sites used series of invisible
    tables to organize there content, but when I open the source of
    this page in dreamweaver, he was using something different. div
    tags? should I be using these? who do I use them? are there any
    general layout tips that someone could pass on to me? perhaps a
    link to a good tutorial?
    please help me. i am very confused.
    thanks so much.

    IMO not a good site to emulate. To wit:

  • Need help with 1 thing

    I followed a tut and learned how to do everything I'll need.
    I'm a kid, so I don't need to be professional about anything.
    Anyways, the tutorial left out the last part. How to publish your
    website. It said to find a guide in the help from dreamweaver, but
    I didn't find it. If anybody could sum it up for me, simple or not,
    it would be greatly appreciated.

    > Would he be able to give it to me
    Yes - he would relay to you the FTP login information sent to
    him by his
    host.
    Alternatively, you could give him the files, and let him
    upload them using
    that same FTP information.

  • Need help with generics

    I have written a java program using jdk1.5. After completing my program I noticed that the compiler was outputting a warning. It tells me that there were a few unsafe operations in my code. Anyway I found out that my code needed to include generics. I was able to figure out how too include some of the generics. I am having trouble with the following:
    [javac] /home/paul/Documents/java/PersonalInfo/src/personalInfo/logic/DB.java:105: warning: [unchecked] unchecked conversion
    [javac] found : personalInfo.logic.FNComparator
    [javac] required: java.util.Comparator<? super java.lang.Object>
    [javac] Arrays.sort(sort, fn);
    [javac] ^
    [javac] /home/paul/Documents/java/PersonalInfo/src/personalInfo/logic/DB.java:105: warning: [unchecked] unchecked method invocation: <T>sort(T[],java.util.Comparator<? super T>) in java.util.Arrays is applied to (java.lang.Object[],personalInfo.logic.FNComparator)
    [javac] Arrays.sort(sort, fn);
    [javac] ^
    [javac] /home/paul/Documents/java/PersonalInfo/src/personalInfo/logic/DB.java:109: warning: [unchecked] unchecked conversion
    [javac] found : personalInfo.logic.LNComparator
    [javac] required: java.util.Comparator<? super java.lang.Object>
    [javac] Arrays.sort(sort, ln);
    [javac] ^
    [javac] /home/paul/Documents/java/PersonalInfo/src/personalInfo/logic/DB.java:109: warning: [unchecked] unchecked method invocation: <T>sort(T[],java.util.Comparator<? super T>) in java.util.Arrays is applied to (java.lang.Object[],personalInfo.logic.LNComparator)
    [javac] Arrays.sort(sort, ln);
    [javac] ^
    The FN/LNComparator class implements the java.util.Comparator class. I have looked at the generics tutorial on the java.sun.com website. I can't figure out what I replace the <T> with to make the code compile and the warning to go away. I have tried <Comparator> but that just gives me an error that says FNComparator does not take any parameters.
    If anyone knows how to fix these warnings let me know
    -Hockeyfan

    I know how to fix it.
    Step 1. Stop writing subject-lines like "Need help with generics". Everyone who starts a topic needs help, that's why people post here!
    Step 2. Don't just post the error message, post the relevant code. In [code ][code ] tags of course.
    Step 3. Stop watching hockey, it'll stunt your growth
    Step 4. Have the FN/LNComparator implement, not the raw Comparator, but Comparator<Object>

  • Need help with CS4 transitions

    Hi,
    I am trying to use a cross dissolve transition. To make it simple, I have two clips. I'm obviously doing something wrong here. I've watched the Adobe TV tutorial and all the guy does is to select cross dissolve from the effects box, and drags it over to the clip on the timeline. I think I am doing the exact same thing, but when I play my clip back, I can see no transition effect played back.
    Maybe I'm putting it in the wrong place I thought, so I tried putting it in front of the split between the two clips. Then again at the beginning of the second clip. Neither of them worked, so I shut CS4 down, and booted it up again. I started a new project, and put two new clips in it. I put the dissolve transition at the beginning of the second clip, and it worked like a charm. Then to see if that was a fluke, went to a point about 3 minutes earlier in the timeline. So now I am on clip one. I go and make a cut in the timeline, and try to place another Cross dissolve at this spot. It appears to place the transition there because it creates the rectangular box, and it has the name cross dissolve in that rectangular box,but when I try to play it to see the transition, it isn't working. Go back to the beginning of the second clip, and that one still works perfectly.
    I noticed that there is a difference in the appearance of the two cross dissolve rectangular boxes. The one that works has a single diagonal line that goes from lower left to upper right in the cross dissolve box, and then there are a whole series of diagonal lines that go from upper left to lower right all across the cross dissolve box . It looks like a whole bunch of dark gray and white backslashes. In the one that doesn't work, there is just that single diagonal line that goes from lower left to upper right. No backslashes on this one. What am I doing right in the first one, but not in the second?
    I find that it will work perfectly if I put in a new clip. If I put in the Cross Dissolve at the beginning of a new clip that I add to the timelime,  it will work perfectly. It is only when I try to split a clip that is already on the timeline, and then put the cross dissolve in at that point.
    Perhaps it is not possible to do what I am attempting to do. Maybe you can't split a clip and place the transition at that point?

    When I am shooting video, it is not unusual for me to be taping a scene of a mountain, for example, and then put the camera on pause, while I briefly position myself to take video of the river that is flowing at my feet. That is what is happened on this clip that I am attempting to put the transition in between. Rather than having the scene just instantly change at this point, from the mountain to the river, it would be nice to have a smoother transition then that.
    My mind was working on the problem while sleeping last night, and I think I might understand how to handle it. It might have been too simple for me to think about yesterday. I haven't tried it yet, but would it not work, to insert the mountain scene from my source monitor into the timeline, and then go back and insert the river scene into the time line instead of inserting both of them at the same time. Would these not now be two separate clips on the timeline, and the transition could now be applied?
    Your analogy with the DJ is very good, but it isn't quite the same. You are correct in that he would be only fading from one song to the same spot on the same song. In my case I am going from an image of a mountain to an image of a river. Same clip, but different images. I appreciate the help, and your thoughts.

    Subject: Need help with CS4 transitions
    From a creative standpoiint, I don't understand the desire to transition from one clip to the exact same spot on that same clip.  That's like a DJ at a night club fading from one song to the exact same spot on that same song being played on a second CD player.  What's the point?

  • I need help with tracking

    Ok the video that you can see on my youtube is the one I need help with. The video is actually in 1080p and I have no idea why it is showing in such a low resolution, but that is not the problem. I need to track the gun and add a null to that track, after that I want to add a red solid layer and bring down its opacity a little, to simulate a laser sight from the gun.Then I tried to parent and SHIFT parent the red solid to the track, the end product would have to look like what you can see in the picture. I have watched a TON of videos about tracking and just can not the the result I need. the laser needs to follow the gun as I aim up and bring the gun down. How should I do this.......? Please someone help or link me a tutorial that will be helpful.....

    You have a couple of problems. First you don't need to use shift parent, just parent. Second, your red solid is a 3D layer and you have applied 2D tracking info to the solid. Actually, there's another mistake and it is in the tracking. You should also be tracking scale because the gun moves from left to right as well as up and down. This changes the distance between the front and back tracking points.
    My workflow with this project would be:
    Track Motion of the front and back of the gun including position, scale and rotation
    Apply the track info to a null called GunTrack or something like that
    Add a solid and apply the beam effect or mask the red solid to simulate the shape of a laser sight
    Change the blend mode of the solid to ADD
    Move the anchor point to the center of the starting point of the laser
    Parent the solid to the Gun Track null
    That should do it.

  • Need help with session sharing in WebCenter Portal
