Advice on removing this person from an image?
I want to remove the man in the attached image and place him on a different background. I tried this by making a selection around him and using Refine Edge to make some adjustments, though it does not seem natural around his hair and other parts. Is there any easier way to do this or can anyone suggest a different way?
Thanks.
I'm not having as much luck with this as I would like. I am trying to not select all of the hair detail and I am not selecting the soft parts of the hair. Aside from the lower left part of his shoulder that I did not select, what do you think of the selection? After I try to refine it using the radius slider, it seems to create what seems to be fuzz around him. I tried doing this with various amounts of radius and with smart radius on and off. I am attaching a screenshot of my selection, as well as how it appears on a white background. Any suggestions for how to make it look better?
Thanks!

How do you remove a person from a photo and replace her with another person
How do you remove a person from a photo and repalce her with another person.
There are many tool and "tricks" to accomplish this manipulation. However, depending on the image one technique might be more appropriate than an other. And then there is the question of how to do it "skillfully". For example, the shadows in the person that is being substituted might be different than in the original image creating the obviously "photoshopped" look.
Doing an Internet search on your posting title brings up lots of examples. -
I cannot remove embedded barcode from the image. Due to saving compression.
Hi guys,
I recreate a thread to prevent confusing on my previous one. Please only reply to this thread thanks.
Ok, for a start I will give some general description about the application I made.
I had some problem with the image being compressed while it is saved.
Because saving an image will cause it to compress and had its pixel valued changed, I could not successfully remove the bardcode that is embedded inside a image(although some of the pixel value will be returned to original normally). I had placed my code below and will accept any opinion that will help me solve the removal of barcode problem.
What my application does is actually very simple. It will take the pixel value of the area inside the image that will be embed with the barcode first, then it will take the pixel value of the barcode and use the formula (1-alpha * Image pixel value) + (alpha * barcode pixel value) = new pixel value which will contain the barcode that had been embedded inside. The formula works great but when I saved the image the pixel value will change due to compression. On the removal of barcode my application will read every pixel value from the image embedded with barcode (only the area with barcode embedded), then it will go on to read every pixel value of the barcode used for embedding and then use the formula (Embedded image pixel value - (alpha * Barcode pixel value) - (1 - alpha) = original pixel value. But due to the reason that compression will change some of the pixel inside the saved image to drop in its value, the result from the removal formula will be negative and hence caused my result image to become wierd as it will red colors instead of original color on some of its pixel. I tried saving under PNG format which people said to be lossless compression but the result is still the same.
So I need to ask you guys for opinion or help me find the part where I actually did wrongly and caused the image pixel value to change.
Thanks. Please proceed and read below for the codes that I used. It is messy and I will sort it out later.
When alpha is set as 1 the barcode will appear to be overwrite onto the image. But when alpha is set as 0.1 the barcode will appear to be transparent and almost seems to be not there on the image when embedded.
This is the code I used to retrieve image pixel when embedding:
public static int[] getImagePixelValue(BufferedImage image, int x, int y){
//Create an array to store image RGB value
int[] imageRGB = new int[3];
//Get height and width from input image
int imageWidth = image.getWidth();
int imageHeight = image.getHeight();
//Get raw RGB value from image
int imageValue = image.getRGB(x, y);
//Convert image raw RGB value
int imageRed = ((image.getRGB(x, y) >> 16) & 0xff);
int imageGreen = ((image.getRGB(x, y) >> 8) & 0xff);
int imageBlue = image.getRGB(x, y) & 0xff;
//Input the converted RGB value into the array
imageRGB[0] = imageRed;
imageRGB[1] = imageGreen;
imageRGB[2] = imageBlue;
/*//Print out the pixel value to check
System.out.println("Image red pixel: "+imageRGB[0]);
System.out.println("Image green pixel: "+imageRGB[1]);
System.out.println("Image blue pixel: "+imageRGB[2]);*/
//Return image RGB value
return imageRGB;
}This is the code I used to retrieve barcode pixel for embedding:
public static int[] getWatermarkPixelValue(BufferedImage watermark, int x, int y){
//Create an array to store watermark RGB value
int[] watermarkRGB = new int[3];
//Get height and width from input watermark
int watermarkWidth = watermark.getWidth();
int watermarkHeight = watermark.getHeight();
int watermarkValue = watermark.getRGB(x, y);
//Convert watermark raw RGB value
int watermarkRed = ((watermark.getRGB(x, y) >> 16) & 0xff);
int watermarkGreen = ((watermark.getRGB(x, y) >> 8) & 0xff);
int watermarkBlue = watermark.getRGB(x, y) & 0xff;
//Input the converted RGB value into the array
watermarkRGB[0] = watermarkRed;
watermarkRGB[1] = watermarkGreen;
watermarkRGB[2] = watermarkBlue;
/*//Print out the pixel value to check
System.out.println("Watermark red pixel: "+watermarkRGB[0]);
System.out.println("Watermark green pixel: "+watermarkRGB[1]);
System.out.println("Watermark blue pixel: "+watermarkRGB[2]);*/
//Return watermark RGB value
return watermarkRGB;
}This is the code I used for merging the image pixel and barcode pixel to get the embedded pixel value:
public static int[] getEmbeddedPixelValue(int[] imagePixelValue, int[] watermarkPixelValue, double alpha){
//Create a object to hold embedded pixel value
int[] embeddedRGBValue = new int[3];
//Change image pixel value into double calculating equation
double imgRedValue = (double) imagePixelValue[0];
double imgGreenValue = (double) imagePixelValue[1];
double imgBlueValue = (double) imagePixelValue[2];
//Change watermark pixel value into double calculating equation
double wmRedValue = (double) watermarkPixelValue[0];
double wmGreenValue = (double) watermarkPixelValue[1];
double wmBlueValue = (double) watermarkPixelValue[2];
//Equation for embedding image and watermark together
double embeddedRed = ((1.0 - alpha) * imgRedValue) + (alpha * wmRedValue);
double embeddedGreen = ((1.0 - alpha) * imgGreenValue) + (alpha * wmGreenValue);
double embeddedBlue = ((1.0 - alpha) * imgBlueValue) + (alpha * wmBlueValue);
//Changing embedded value from double to int
int embeddedRedValue = (int) embeddedRed;
int embeddedGreenValue = (int) embeddedGreen;
int embeddedBlueValue = (int) embeddedBlue;
//input the embedded RGB value into the array
embeddedRGBValue[0] = embeddedRedValue;
embeddedRGBValue[1] = embeddedGreenValue;
embeddedRGBValue[2] = embeddedBlueValue;
//Return embedded pixel value
return embeddedRGBValue;

else if(target == embedButton){
String xCoordinate = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(embedButton, "Enter coordinate X", "When you want to embed the watermark?", JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);

}Sorry if the codes are in a mess, I did not had the time to sort it out yet but most likely do it when I got the removal of barcode done.
Follow this link to have a look of the result I see in my application when I got the barcode embedded into the image I selected:

Follow this link to have a look of the result I see in my application after I got the barcode removed:
[http://img523.imageshack.us/my.php?image=removalresultmx4.jpg]
As you can see from the link, after I remove the barcode from the image. Some of the pixel actually went back to normal in the barcode area when the the barcode is embedded into the image. But some pixel in the barcode area had its value changed due to compression when I save the image file I think.
Anyone can help me find out the problem?
Thanks.KamenRider wrote:
I suspect the problem lies in the code when I save the image. Because people said that PNG was loseless compression but when I saved in PNG some of the pixel went back to normal while some did not. This is obviously the cause from changing of pixel value when I saved the image.You are almost certainly wrong. This is trivially easy to check. Print out the color of a certain pixel immediately before you save it. Open the saved PNG in your favorite image manipulation program and check the saved value of that same pixel. When you re-load the saved PNG, print out the color again. It should be unchanged.
Thanks you for trying to help me spot the problem but the formula is correct. The alpha value i used in my application is used to set the transparency of the barcode that will be embedded in the image. Hence, when alpha = 1 the new pixel value should be the barcode value. ^^The formula isn't wrong, it's just not doing what you think it's doing. Remember that you're working with ints here, not floating point numbers, so they have finite precision. When you case from double to int, fractions are dropped. As morgalr pointed out, your formula is:
(1-alpha * Image pixel value) + (alpha * barcode pixel value) = new pixel value You didn't show us the code for getOriginalImagePixelValue but I imagine it's:
original pixel value = (new pixel value - alpha * barcode pixel value) / (1 - alpha)On a piece of paper, take alpha = 0.9, image pixel = 17 and barcode pixel = 100. Calculate out what you should get for new pixel value and then calculate what you should get for original pixel value. You will find they don't match. -
How can I remove people tags from MULTIPLE images in Organizer 13?

It appears that keyword tags and People tags are considered something completely different in 13. I highlight multiple images, right click, and under keyword tags it says there are no keyword tags. There does not appear to be an option for people or other tags. Can anyone help? It is going to take literally hundreds of hours for me to do this one photo one tag at a time. ??

If you want to get rid of dotted lines, they are almost certainly caused by the outline property. However, outlines around links are there for a reason: it provides a visual "you are here" clue to people who navigate the web with the keyboard, either through preference or because of disability. You shouldn't remove the dotted outline without providing a different visual clue. -
Remove color profile from an image
How to remove color profile from an image is it possible through any script?
Manual Try - Don't Color Manage this Document: option is used to instruct Photoshop to remove an existing embedded profile but when I save the file, close and open it I still see a color profile in the embedded image.On the mac you could have sips do this (it may depend on the file type). You would loose the files creator if Photoshop was its last editor though.

How to remove an adjustment from multiple images
Hi, i've used the lift and stamp method to apply a black and white preset to a group of images. I want to remove this adjustment from the same group of images but the only way i can see how to do it is to unclick the Black and White adjustment brick for each image individually. Is there a way to do this for a group of images?
You are absolutely right. My apologies.
What follows is what I found out this morning, just by poking around. I am not a programmer nor a program designer -- my apologies in advance for anything wrong or clumsily understood.
I believe you have stumbled across a significant design flaw in Aperture. Resetting an adjustment brick effectively removes it for some bricks, and does not for others ^1^. There is no way I know of to batch remove (or turn on/off (i.e.: check or uncheck)) adjustment bricks. There should be.
The [User Manual|http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter =16%26section=9%26hash=apple_ref:doc:uid:Aperture-UserManual-91292AOV-1009540] is simply wrong about this. On the "Removing Adjustments" page it states:
To remove a single adjustment from an image
Select an image, then click the Reset button for the adjustment you want to remove.
This does not work for those adjustments which default to having an effect, such as the "Black & White" brick under discussion, "Vignette" and others.
It seems to me there should be clear distinctions between (and controls for) both the "on/off" status of an adjustment brick, and the "default/not-default" settings of the parameters within the brick.
Perhaps others can join in with further comments and provide some more light on this. As it is, I recommend sending feedback on this to the Aperture team, via the program. Use "Aperture→Provide Aperture Feedback".
^1^ There are two kinds (at least) of adjustments in Aperture: those with a "null" default and those with a "non-null" default. Null-default adjustments can be "zeroed out" -- the adjustment can be applied and have no effect. Non-null-default adjustments cannot be zeroed out -- the only way to have no effect is to turn the adjustment off (uncheck it) or remove it. There are, to the best of my knowledge, no ways to batch turn off or remove adjustments (I don't use AppleScript, but I checked the manual). -
How do you remove the background from an image
how do you remove the background from an image thathas a white background?
First, change the background layer to a normal layer if needed, by dragging the padlock to the trash can.
Then use the quick selection tool or magic wand tool to select your background.
Now you can either delete the background, or click the icon at the bottom of the layers panel that looks like a circle inside a square. This icon will convert the selection to a mask.
The advantage of the mask is, it is non-destructible. In that you can change your mind at any time. Whereas deleting pixels is permanent once you close the file and there is no duplicate files. (A way around this is to make a duplicate layer and hide it. But that does make the file larger.) -

Unable to remove this item from GRIR. It was a consignment PO receipt done
Hi Guys,
The user saying that"unable to remove this item from GRIR. It was a consignment PO receipt done improperly, so it needs to be deleted".
Because of this the the material documet which shows $6725.43-(Negative) in GRIR account.when i check this this transation was originated through MI10(Physical inventory differenvces posting).May be user done wrongly.
Now the problem is this
- how this transaction originated?
- Why is this posted to GR/IR account?
- How do we correct the open item in the GR/IR account?
- What need to happen to rectify the mistake?
can any tell me how can we do this,i will be greatful to u.
Thanks&Regards,
Babu,
09930154536Hi Jurgen,
when i check the material document and accounting document,it was showing that said amount in negative sign and transaction done by MI10 means posted differences with out reference to document.
it means the user may entered wrongly i think.
was there any GRIR account for MI10?
MI10 does not have reversal or cancel?
so how to resolve it?
as per my idea it can be done by FI posting.
please help to resolve.
Thanks in advance.

Hey there Matt.dvs1,
Although there is not a way to remove past purchases from your iTunes account completely, you can hide them so that you don't have to see them if you don't want to. This article will help you do that:
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
Hide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
Go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
Choose a content type by clicking Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from the top of the window.
A list of your purchased items for the content type you are viewing will appear. Mouse over the item you want to hide until an X appears its top-left corner.
A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the X.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

need your help
Hey VPKR, Nice of you to try, but not really. Apple will do nothing without a count order and it's not likely you are doing to get one. The only way you can find out information that may tell you who the owner is, would require the password-- it's a "Catch 22." Turn the iPod over to the police, give then all the information you have about the person that sold it to you, and go from there. If bought online, through a web site like eBay, etc. contact the site about a possible fraudulent sale, you may some recourse to either get your money back and the web site can block this person from trying this again. Follow the instructions the web site gives you about what to do with the iPod. They may tell you send back to them or give it to the police. If you used a check or credit card, call your bank or card company and put out a stop payment, then turn this iPod over to the police. Hope this helps. Thanks for being an honest person. Cheers.
