Can you edit a person from one photo and add them to another photo?

Can you edit a person out of one photo and add them to another photo? Like if you need the head shot from one photo to replace closed eyes in the other photo? Thanks.

Thank you very much! Does this require software to be purchased? I'm new to Photoshop.

Welcome to the forum.
Yes, this is done often. You will need to create a Mask of that person, to separate them from the background of the original Image.
I like to do this with a Layer Mask, as it offers control, and really does not alter the Image, so you can go back and make changes.
Let's say that you have Image 01 w/ the head of your subject, and want to place it into Image 02. In Image 01, make a rough Selection. I would include a bit of extra background, as we will take care of that in a moment. With that Selection active, Copy the head shot. Go to Image 02, and Paste it. It will Paste in its own Layer. Ctrl+T (Free Transform) can be used to Scale and also position that Layer with the head. Once you have that Scaled and positioned about where you want it, create a Layer Mask. In QuickMask Mode, just paint in the additional Mask to remove all traces of the background that came in with the head shot. As you can paint OUT, and also paint IN the Mask, you can work on this, as many times as you wish - even next year.
For getting that Layer Mask looking good, work slowly, also see this http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshop/l/blrbps_5agirl.htm.
I've got another tutorial, that addresses the hair area, and will post that, when I find my bookmark.
Good luck,
Hunt

I have an extensive aperture library on my computer's hard drive and I want to break it up into separate smaller libraries on external hard drives. How do I take projects from one library and add them to another one?

Coastal,
Frank gave you the exact answer to your question.
However, I would like to ask if you are indeed asking the right question. Do you really want different libraries? The implications are that you have to "switch" libraries to see what's in the others, and so that your searches don't work across all of your pictures? If so, then you asked the right question. If not, you may be more interested in relocating your masters to multiple hard drives so your library gets smaller, instead of breaking up the library.

How can you remove a figure from one photo and put it in another?

I am trying to move a figure (dog) from one photo/pic to another. Is this possible with elements?

Yes, you should not have any trouble.
In Editor, go to the expert tab.
Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from (the dog) to add to another picture.
Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.

I don't think you can copy layers – at least not in the
way you are thinking.
But you can select frames or a range of frames and then
copy/cut frames.
In the new document you can then paste frames. It has a lot
of variations depending upon how you many you copy, if there are
multiple layers, what area you select before pasting and so on. It
would take a lot to describe and I'm not sure I would describe it
properly.
Generally just give it a try and get an intuitive feel for
it. The choices are available from the Edit menu but also from a
right click.
It is also possible to slect and edit multiple frames so if
you do need to move a bunch of things on different key frames that
is also possible.

How can I keep all of my apps and stuff from one ID and move them to another ID without having to buy them all over again?

Me and my mom share an account and I bought all my apps and stuff on their. so I made my own account so that it would just have my stuff and it would charge to my credit card. So I was wondering how you can sink all the apps and stuff from one ID to another or link the accounts so that I don't have to repurchase everything.

You can render the ebook on an instructional application called Zankura. Not only can you control the screen scrolling, but all the students can freely annotate with their stylus. www.zankura.com.

Can I take a selection from one clip and put it into another?

I'm pretty new to this so thanks. I want to assemble a clip that has parts of three different takes. Splitting the screen works for a couple of the takes..but i'm wondering if I can use the four point matting to isolate a character and put him into another clip...the backgrounds are the same and the set up when shot is the same...but there is no blue or green screen involved so I'm wondering if this is possible in FCP. Hopefully the question makes sense...thanks!

So you are trying to "cut out" your subject and paste him onto another take? Should be easy enough- just use the four or eight point matte to cut out a square around the subject, then layer that clip on top of the other take you want to superimpose him in. As long as the angle/lighting were the same, it should work. If you find you want a more complicated matte, try Tom's 50 Point Matter, which has a bezier curves option.

Can I download TV shows to one computer and watch them on another?

I'm living in South Africa and my internet connection is really choppy. I don't want to waste the bandwidth by trying to download TV shows until they come through. Can I have my parents in the US download episodes for me and burn them to DVD and then watch them on my computer or will they refuse to play on a different computer? Please offer suggestions.

No, sorry, you can't. TV shows from the iTunes Store cannot be burned to a video DVD, and the content can only be played on a computer that can be authorized to the iTunes Store account through which the content was purchased, which can only be done in the US. These restrictions are all in place by demand of the content owners.
Wish we could help you with this, but we can't. Sorry.

Can you take sofeware written on one computer and use it on another.

We have a problem with the apllication maybe or the gpib. The apllication was working on one computer, but we change out that computer now we can get the program to work. A error message is generated (-107---) and fail to set up the test equipment.

Hi Rickey,
It is hard to determine the problem from this explanation, but have you installed all of the drivers necessary for your program? Is it possible that your program is making assumptions that are not true in your new setup. If you can provide more detail, I can do my best to help you out.

How can download the roles from one system and upload them into another ??

Do anyone have the solution ..... ......it very important.

Hi,
Visit [Role Maintenance Functions|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e4/15e48efd6c11d296430000e82de14a/content.htm] in section Download/Upload.
To avoid inconsistencies, all roles from which a role is derived are also downloaded. When you download composite roles, all the roles which they contain are also downloaded.
When you upload a role, all role data, including authorization data is uploaded from a file into the SAP system. The user assignments for the role and the generated profiles for the role are exceptions in this case. You must therefore regenerate the authorization profiles after the upload.
Mass Download:
Save several roles on the PC.
You can choose on the selection screen whether you:
Also want to transport the single roles contained in the selected composite roles (Customizing switch ADD_COMPOSITE_ROLES in table SSM_CUST)
Also want to transport the generated profiles for all single roles (PROFILE_TRANSPORT in table PRGN_CUST)
You can define the default setting for both options using the value in the Customizing switch. If you explicitly set a switch to NO, the option in question on the selection screen is not active. Otherwise, it is active.

I have just updated Photoshop Elements from 12.0 to 12.1 and I am now unable to drag layers from one file and drop them into another. Help!

I was able to do this until I updated. I need help fast as I need this feature to complete daily tasks for my job. I've come to a halt with my work because of this.
I have the two files open as shown below. I'm trying to insert the image in the file on the left to the file on the right but when I drag to drop into the file, it doesn't happen.
The cursor indicates it has picked up the image but it doesn't indicate that it can't be dropped, it just doesn't work. Help!!

Cannot copy pics from one event and paste them in another...not sure why?

Anyone know a solution? It's almost like the event album is locked or something...

What if a user wants the same photo in two separate events?
In my case I have an event for a movie project and I want to take a movie from my 2012 spring event. I do not want to cut it from the 2012 spring event and put it ONLY in the movie project event. I want to COPY it so I have it in TWO SEPARATE EVENTS.
Why is this not possible?
