Breaking a photo down to transparent layers.......

How do I break a photo down to transparent layers and then combine the layers I want back or with other photos?
Thanks

Use a higher end photo editor - like PhotoShop elements or PhotoShop
Layer editing is not a feature of iPhoto

  • How do you stack different photos in the editor layers pallet

    How do you stack different photos in the editor layers pallet? I can get different photos in the editor, but I cannot figure out how to get different photos into the layers pallet at the same time.  Please help!!!!!

    Just to clarify, you can never see the layers panel for more than one photo at a time. The suggestions you got will show all the photos, but because they are now combined as layers in one image.
    If you want to see more photos in the editor at once, go to the preferences>general and turn on Allow Floating Documents, then go to Window>Images>Float all in windows, then Cascade or Tile.
    But you will still only see the layers panel for the image that is active at the moment.

  • Liquify Filter causing semi-transparent layers to become brightened

    Hi,
    I'm having an issue with the Liquify Filter's final results. When using the filter it works fine, and if I use the filter on a solid layer its results given back to the original image are perfect also.
    However, using the filter on a layer that has mostly transparency behind it (a layer with sketched line-art on it for example), the result given back to the original image is brightened significantly. The only work-around I have found so far is to merge a solid colour background to the transparent layer, and then the result works fine. However this is not desirable because future use of the image as line-art requires editing to get it back onto its own layer that can be destructive when the work contains tonning.
    Is there any fix for this?
    Thanks,
    - Ricky

    I have encountered the same problem with brightening of mostly transparent layers when using Liquify.
    I'm using the latest version of Photoshop-CS6 on an HP Pavillion p6 series that came installed with Windows 8.

  • HT201250 How do I restore photos from Time Machine?  All of my photos have been imported within iPhoto and therefore are exported to Time Machine via an iPhoto file.  I can't figure out how to break individual photo files out of the iPhoto file.  Any idea

    You might post this query on the iPhoto forum and perhaps someone there can provide an answer.
    I tried this on my MBP and it seems that you have to restore the entire iPhoto Library.  What I did was put the current library in a separate folder on the desktop and then I restored the library from a prior date.  If you were to do that, you then could extract the desired photos and then delete the restored library.  Then place the current library back to the original location and import the desired photos.
    Not tidy but it seems it will work.

  • Transparency, layers and Avatars

    Hi everyone,
    I am working on an application which involves overlapping an image over one another. For that, is transparency feature available in flex ? I mean, can we manipulate images in flex dynamically to add transparent layers the way we do in adobe photoshop?
    The idea is that of an avatar. For example: If we look at online avatars, we chose if we want the image to be a male or female, then we chose the color of the hair..indicating..lets say the age of the avatar, then we may choose to change the skin tone of the avatar..indicating the ethnicity of the avatar and so on. In all this, transparency or the concept of layers is required for image manipulation. Can that be done dynamically in flex ? Thanks.
    Regards,
    Puneet.

    Hi there,
    I don't get the idea in detail, but it is possible to do it with .png or .swf files. Explain a little more in detail if you can ???
    E.g. how would you want to handle these layers ???
    regards aktell2007

  • Anti-aliasing not working on new transparent layers in CS5

    A problem has appeared in CS5 running on Lion where anti-aliasing isn't working on transparent layers.
    If I create a shape and select it with the magic wand on the background layer and then Edit>Stroke I get a smooth line.
    If I create a new transparent layer, create a shape, select with the magic wand and Edit>Stroke I get a jagged line.
    This is driving me crazy. I've reset the settings and tried everything I can think of. It never used to do this, what's going on?
    See image below (left - background layer, right - layer 1. same process on each)
    Thanks, Stu.

    If I create a new transparent layer, create a shape, select with the magic wand and Edit>Stroke I get a jagged line.
    What’s with the Magic Wand?
    If you create a Shape as Path you could »Load path as selection« or »Stroke path with brush« (see the bottom of the Paths Panel).
    Edit: And you could load the transparency of the Layer by command-clicking its icon in the Layers Panel.
    Or why not use the Layer Style Stroke?

  • Transparent Layers, help please !!

    Hello everyone,
    I'm having the following problem that i really need to solve. I have a graph and over the graph I need to display transparent layers that contain some images.. the thing is that I don't know what to use.. i've tried jpanel with setOpaque(true) on, jlayeredPane and nothing nothing is working... can anyone please help me? thanx a lot.
    take care
    iland

    First of all, opaque is the opposite of transparent. So calling setOpaque(true) on any well-behaving component is the best way to guarantee it will not be transparant.
    You can get some nice transparancy effects with AlphaComposite. E.g.,
    //in the class that draws your graph
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        //paint graph
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g.create();
        g2.setComposite(AlphaComposite.getInstance(AlphaComposite.SRC_OVER,  0.25f);
        //draw transparent images
        g2.dispose();
    }The float in setComposite determines the alpha value (i.e., the opacity) of anything that get's drawn after setComposite is invoked.

  • Text editing with transparent layers

    Not sure if this is an acrobat question but....I would like to be able to use transparent layers with text documents (few if any images included) to high
    light, mark-up, and comment on text. The text documents would come from scanned images, WORD or an existing PDF.
    I want transparent layers so I can focus on different aspects of the text. To simplify assume I want to highlight subjects on one layer and predicates on another. Then I would like to be able to see the text with either the subject layer or the predicate layer or both layers together.  Is this possible in Acrobat? If not how about Illustrator or another Adobe product?

  • How do I get my photos down from iCloud on my new 4s? Does it take a few days or something?

    I replaced my broken iPhone 4S with a new one. How do I get my photos down from iCloud? Only a few of them have come down. The stream is on and I am connected to wifi so I don't know what the problem is?

    Michael and wjosten!
    Just thought I'd let you know what happened in the end with my iCloud issues, solved at tekserve:
    When I took my phone to the Verizon store to pick up my new phone, she must have chosen the option "Set up as a new phone" rather than "restore phone from iCloud backup" or whatever. and then I went ahead and set up my phone, not knowing that was ever an option since SHE did it. So i ended up restoring my new phone to factory settings, choosing the OTHER option of restoring it from the iCloud backup i had done, and now I have everything back as it was, in perfect harmony:)
    Thanks for both of your help.
    Additional question: I usually charge my phone up, and let it run down to about 2%-5% before i recharge it all the way up again. But if i have to run, I may take it out of the charger when its not fully 100%. When I am able to stick it back and charge again, is it better to just NOT and let it run down again? or get it back up to 100% if i have the time?

  • How do you make a photo have a transparent background

    I have a photo of a fire truck outside of the fire department. I want to remove the background and select only the truck itself. I then want to be able to have it transparent when I put the picture on a scrapbook page. I do not want a white box background. What steps are needed to accomplish this. I currently have Photoshop Elements 6. Thanks!
    Teresa

    Use one of the selection tools. lasso tool for example, to select the truck
    Go to Edit>copy. This puts it on the computer's clipboard
    Open the scapbook background
    Go to Edit paste. The truck should be on a separate layer
    Access the move tool, position the truck.
    You can resize using the corner handles of the bounding box while holding down the shift key

  • I am looking for photo software that allows layering of two photos.

    I have a number of photos that I would like to add a creative touch to by layering them to make one photo. 

    Adobe Photoshop Elements  is probably your best bet. http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopel/ or you can try Amazon. Current version is 9, only one I saw on Amazon was 8. 9 is available from Apple store too.
    Version 6 would be adequate for your requirements and you may still be able to get a copy from eBay or somewhere (make sure it's the Mac version).

  • Move a photo down

    I have a photo that I need to move down 1/8" from the top of the book.
    I am using 'fit to page', but in the test book I printed (I need many more copies), the top tiny bit of the image is cut off. There is space in my photo at the bottom to allow a slight vertical adjustment, but I can't see a way to move the frame down. I have found the Control/Shift control to move the frame left or right or rotate, but not up and down... Any suggestions?

    What theme are you using?

  • Photo down loading.

    Duplicate down loads from Sony A55V digital camera.
    When I down load photo's from the camera to my Mac or Ipad2 they sometimes copy all photo's on the camera? Other times they only copy the new photo's? What is the fix.

    Betty,
    There have been reports that some e-mail clients do not integrate well with Photoshop Elements.
    Suggest that you do the following:
    Download the picture files from you camera to the "My Photos" file which you reference. Note that these files are not stored in Elements, but they open in Elements under your current set-up. This, by the way, provides you with a golden opportunity, to weed out the poor pictures.
    Next, right click on the picture file which you want to attach to e-mail, and  in the context menu select "Send to Mail Recipient". This will open up your e-mail client. Note that you can highlight several pictures in the folder to sent as attachments.
    If you want to incorporate these picture files in the Organizer, there is no contra-indication.

  • Make a photo fade to transparency?

    Hi, just wondering if it's possible to fade a photo (not a box of colour) to transparency in Illustrator? I am familiar with how to do it in InDesign and Photoshop - but not knowing how to do it in Illustrator.
    Every online tut I have found just explains how to fade "a colour" - versus an actual photo place in an illustrator document.
    Any insight?
    Thank you,
    Chemol

    Thanks a bundle! I was attempting it that way before, but for some reason it
    didn¹t turn out properly I appreciate your insight!
    Happy Turkey day
