What happened to the Extract filter? (In CS5)

I just upgraded to PS CS5 (from CS3). Where did they move the Extract filter to?
Does CS5 have a newer, better way to extract a subject from its background than CS3's extract filter?
Thanks-

The Extract filter was eliminated as it has been made utterly obsolete by the new selection techniques in CS5.

  • What happened to the Extract Filter in CS6?

    I tried the Content aware option and all it did was shrink the image layer down.

    These are the optional plugins for photoshop cs5 windows:

  • What happened to the video filter in Photoshop Elements 13?

    So disappointed in Photoshop Elements 13. Just upgraded from Elements 8 with great expectations that 13 would be better and more powerful. All they did was dumb it down. Wish I could get my money back.

  • What happened to the help feature in CS5

    Prior Photoshop versions had a help feature that brought up a document where topics could be easily located in an index. In CS5 this help functionality no longer exists, or I can not find it. Instead there is some new help document that contains no index of subjects and when you try and search for a topic it returns articles not just for CS5 but for earlier versions. This is confusing, I just want to easily locate a particular topic for CS5 only. Is this no longer possible in CS5? If not, why was it dropped?

    As Zeno mentioned, you can restrict the search to just the Photoshop CS5 Help document by checking the "This reference only" checkbox. Click here for an example of such a search.
    Regarding the lack of an index: Are you referring to the navigation pane (sometimes referred to as a table of contents) on the left side of every page, or are you referring to something else? Either way, I encourage you to give your feedback on the Community Help forum. The people who can affect this system are on that forum.

  • Where is the extract filter in photoshop cs5?

    Where is the extract filter in photoshop cs5?  Thanks

    from an Adobe Tech Sheet:
    Photoshop CS5 can be run as a 64-bit application on Mac OS, 10.5.7 and higher. Because of the changes that were made to the application, some plug-ins are not available when you run Photoshop CS5 either as a 32-bit or a 64-bit application. To work with these plug-ins, run Photoshop CS5 as a 32-bit application, then when you are done using these plug-ins, return to working in Photoshop CS5 as a 64-bit application.
    If you copy old plug-ins from previous versions of Photoshop, or third-party plug-ins that are not compatible with Photoshop CS5, into Photoshop CS5's Plug-in folder, you may see different problems, such as errors or crashes.
    If you have set the Additional Plug-Ins Folder in the Plug-Ins preferences to a folder, deselect this option, or make sure all the plug-ins in this folder are compatible with Photoshop CS5.
    The easiest way to determine if third-party, old plug-ins, or plug-ins from previous versions of Photoshop are causing problems is to move them all into a new folder called "3rd Party plug-ins."
    If this folder is outside the Photoshop/Plug-Ins folder, you can use the Additional Plug-Ins Folder Plug-In preference to allow Photoshop to access or not access the plug-ins in this folder.
    If this folder is inside the Photoshop/Plug-Ins folder, disable the plug-ins by renaming the folder by putting a tilde (~) as the first character in the folder name.
    Plug-ins not supported by Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS, running in 64-bit mode:
    Lighting Effects
    Extract (Use Refine Mask under the Selection menu)
    Variations
    Web Contact Sheet II (Web Photo Gallery)
    TWAIN support will work on some scanners
    Video Preview
    Send Video Preview to Device
    Embed / Read Watermark
    Firewire
    Firewire DLL
    To run Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS as a 32-bit application, select the Adobe Photoshop CS5 application file, installed by default in the Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5 folder. Choose File > Get Info, and select Open in 32 Bit Mode. Deselect this option to run Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit mode.
    To determine if a plug-in causes an error or crash, remove all old or third-party plug-ins from the Adobe Photoshop CS5 > Plug-Ins folder, and deselect Additional Plug-ins Folder in the Photoshop > Preferences > Plug-Ins preference.

  • Extract filter in CS5 (Mac)

    I just got CS5 last week and I'm trying to use the Extract filter but can't seem to find it anywhere. If I remember correctly, I had to download the plugin for CS4 but I don't see anything for CS5, only for Windows. What's up with that? Can anyone tell me if there's a plugin for PS CS5 Mac yet? Thank you in advance.

  • Where is the Extract filter in Photoshop 6 beta?

    Seems to nbe missing and no help in help.

    The extract filter was removed in CS4.  Adobe says there are better options.  They prefer edge detection as described below.
    Edge Detection: The Extract filter was left out of CS4, although it was available as a separate install. (Rumor has it that the new Edge Detection feature wasn’t ready for CS4 and was pushed back to CS5.) While the Extract filter got a lot of bad press, it was really due to misuse. Luckily, Photoshop CS5 does a better job than the filter. Selection of complex edges, such as curly hair, has always been a problem. The Edge Detection setting is now part of the Refine Edge and Refine Mask dialogs. The feature is fairly easy to use: make a selection or a layer mask, open the Refine Edge dialog (Select>Refine Edge), and use the Refine Radius tool (E) to brush over the desired area. (There’s an Erase Refinements tool [just press Shift-E] in case you don’t like the results and want to try again.) In addition, there’s a Smart Radius checkbox with a Radius adjustment slider to make selections even easier. This tool makes short work of some tough selections, but it’s not for every image. I found it worked great on some images, but not others. You still might want to bone up on using the image calculations for advanced selections.

  • What happened to the stand alone A.pack

    what happened to the stand alone A.pack for creating AC3 files, it seems to have gone when I upgraded to FInal Cut Studio yesterday???

    As far as I know it isn't available anywhere else... you'll need to re-install v3 to get at it from the install discs. I've not tried using pacifist with the v3 installer to extract the A.Pack installer, but it might be worth a try.
    The other thing to do is to solve that error message! Earlier in the year a user posted a solution for that, which meant a bit of typing into the terminal. I believe there are a fair number of posts on the Compressor forum detailing what to type... and probably an equal number saying it didn't work for them! D'oh! Still... got to be worth a go, mind you.

    What happens when the iPhone needs an activation and it doesn't respond? Then it asks me to restore it but due to an unknown error (-1) the iPhone can't be restored.

    Thank you for your response. However, I have done that plenty of times and each time I try to restore my phone, it extracts the software and then when it says restoring with the loading bar, an error message comes up saying an unknown error has occurred.

  • What happens to the open item in bsid table when it is cleared

    hi experts,
                   i have a doubt about open and cleared items of accounting documents. as we know open items of customers are stored in bsid and cleared ones in bsad. For suupose, an open item is closed ina particular period then what happened to the entry in bsid and bsad table. an entry regarding is stored in bsad (cleared),and what happens to the entry in bsid, still it will be there or removed from it.

    Hi,
    When ever we clear the document(Complete payment) that document will be moved to BSAD table. Other wise it will remain in BSID.
    If u are making partial payment then all the partial payment documents along with original document will be stored in BSID till u made the complete payment for that invoice.
    Assumption is u have to give all partial payment documents made for particular invoice item while u are making complete payment in F-28 transaction. So that these partail payment documents will also be cleared while making complete payment and moved to BSAD table.
    This trasaction can be used for both partial and complete payments.
    Irrespective of complete or partial payments made all the documents will remain stored in BKPF and BSEG tables.
    BSID and BSAD are index tables to address performance issues with BKPF and BSEG tables.
    So all open and cleared documents will be there in BKPF and BSEG tables.
    All cleared documents will be there in BSAD table.
    Alll open documents will be there in BSID table.
    Hope it is clear.
    Thanks,
    Vinod.

    What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

    If they are both using the same iCloud ID (assuming you are running your mail from iCloud), then yes, the email will disappear from your Mac after you delete it from your phone and after your phone sycs with iCloud and your Mac syncs with iCloud.
    I use a windows phone, but it works the same.

  • Just upgraded to 5 from 3 - what happened to the page select icon? Can't find it in customize toolbars.

    Used to be you could select which page you wished to go back or forward to from the arrow icons on the navigation toolbar. The history menu item only shows 10 sites without having to open history for today. What happened? Is there another icon or a new plug in for this functionality? I used it all the time.

    ''what happened to the page select icon (Back/Forward)''
    The back/forward buttons have been moved to right-hand side of the navigation bar and the drop-down was removed. User right-click or hold click for one second to see the tab history. This is item #5 in my list.
    The History menu also has "Open Previous session" and "Open closed windows",
    to see more history use the History sidebar ("Ctrl+H") or the History Library List ("Ctrl+Shift+H") and sort or view by "Last visited".
