There is no need to think about transparent bacgrounds: basically, there is no background.
You may View>Show Transparency Grid, then hide it again.

Cutting object from photoshop and pasting in word

How do I cut an object from a pic using photoshop and paste just that object on a word doc? Everything i've done so far has given me a square box with white in it? Thanks

That is expected and inherent how the office apps work. You need to save the files as a PNG or TIFF with transparency and properly import them into Word using the Insert Graphic function.

Removing an object from a background

Hi all need some help. Creating a digital mood board for my homework. Need to cut out and display items on the mood board. When I try and remove for example a couch from its surroundings it works but then I try and move it over to Microsoft works and the white background comes back. How do I keep it so that the image of only the couch comes over and not the background!
Help it's driving me crazy
Stephanie

Are you using masks to cut out the couch or actually deleting pixels? If you are using a mask, you will need to apply the layer mask.
Here I have an image that has a mask over it—imagine that the circle is your couch that you have "cut out" using a layer mask. The rest of the image is still there, but is blocked from view by the mask. When you apply the layer mask, it merges the mask with your image and gets rid of all of the parts of the image blocked out by the mask.
Control click on the layer in your layers panel to open a flyout. Choose apply layer mask.
Result:
So, at this point you will then be in the same part of the process as if you can deleted all of the image surrounding the "couch." Now you save the image as a .png.
Please let me know if this works for you!

How to remove an object from its background with mocha

Hello,
I have th Mocha version that comes along with Adobe After Effects CS5.5. Does this cersion has the remove tool?
Thank you..

You can track things, create masks, export the masks, remove backgrounds, and do a bunch of really amazing things with the version of Mocha that comes with AE, you just can't drop a clip into the included version of Mocha and render out a composite. There are also other goodies in Mocha Pro.
I'd suggest that you go through a fist full of Mocha tutorials. There are a bunch of good ones on the Imagineer Systems site. Try filtering the results by Mocha AE.

Extracting an object from a background to discard

Hi , I have an image and in the background there is a person who is blocking something which I want to be visible
Which tool would be the best to use.
I dont think the magic extractor will do the job as that will highlight the person I'm trying to get rid of ?
Thanks for your help

You really need a second photo which has the item being blocked, otherwise it's impossible.

How do I avoid the white line that forms around objects I've separated from a background?

This is a cropped corner of an illustration I removed from its opaque background and placed on a transparent background. The north and west borders show the whilte line that forms whenever I place objects on a transparent background. The south and east borders are the cropped edges -- they are clean and make the trasition from object to background color without that white line. With some objects, it's possible to use the Plygonal Lasso Tool, for instance, and trim that object away from the background. With portraits or irregularly shaped objects, though, it's necessary to use the Magic Wand or other means to trim the background away from the object, which results in that unwanted white line. I've read for hours online about this problem and have found no true resolution: Defringing, Removing White Matte, Anti-aliasing, trying to predict what color you'll lay the silhouette on and working in that color, and on and on. It seems as though Photoshop would be relied upon heavily by professionals who need to place objects on top of one another without intrusion. Does anyone have a method that really works?

Hi! If the solutions you mentioned aren't working for your project, it might be worth learning a little bit about Layer Masks. This is a page that explains how Layer Masks work. http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/masking-layers.html
A Layer Mask is a black-and-white image that corresponds to your source image applied in such a way that white areas display and black areas don't. So for your project, you would want to use Photoshop to turn your scanned illustration into a black-and-white image where the area you want to keep is white, and the area you don't want to keep is black. Here is a demo using your uploaded image:
1. Open your image in Photoshop. Right-click on your source layer in the Layers Palette and select Duplicate Layer.
2. With the upper layer selected, use Image -> Adjustments -> Desaturate to turn the layer black-and-white.
3. Use Image -> Adjustments -> Invert to reverse the black and white. Now the white background should be black.
4. With the upper layer selected, use Image -> Adjustments -> Levels. Move the black, white, and gray arrows such that there is a hard black-and-white contrastwhere you want the white background to be removed.
5. You may have to use the lasso tool or the brush tool to complete the silhouette of the image against the white background.
6. With the upper, black-and-white layer selected, Edit -> Select All and Copy. Turn the layer visibility off so that you are again looking at the original image.
7. With the lower layer selected, click the Layer Mask icon. Alt-click on the Layer Mask to edit the Mask directly.
8. Edit -> Paste to apply the black-and-white image you created as a Layer Mask. If you then click the layer icon again, you should be looking at your correctly cropped image!
Hope this helps.

How might I merge 2 photos, and object from one photo cleanly onto a background from another?

I paint from photos, and wish to merge 2 photos together. I now use PS7. I would like to clearly merge an object from one photo onto a background in a 2nd photo. The photomerge options in a trial PS10 do not create the composite I wish, ie, a clean object onto a continuous background.

http://forums.adobe.com/message/4264800#4264800
You need to select the object and place it on to a separate layer and then place the background on a layer bellow it. I created a similar example some time ago. See if the above thread helps.

How to extract an object from a complicated background?

any good ideas how to extract a detailed object from a complicated background in Photoshop CC 2014 ?

I hear you and I agree. Yes, some images lend themselves better to automated masking tools than others. I've had a few cases where the tools delivered spectacular results, and others where they wouldn't even get close. More often they help you get closer more quickly, then you have to do some hand touchup.
Some images where the process Russell describes worked pretty well...
Re: Best plugin for complex masking tasks ?
Re: Extract Filter v Refine Edge CS5
Can you post all or part of your image? Perhaps with more specifics the suggestions can get more specific...

Placing objects in Smart Cut Pro from Illustrator

I know in CorelDraw, you can create a contour of the object, break it apart and place it into the cutting program and be able to cut out both shapes. I was wondering if it is possible to do something like that with an outlined object created in Illustrator. Also, can you just copy and paste an object into Smart Cut Pro from Illustrator?

FCP has limited tools for this, because, after all, it is a NON-LINEAR EDITOR, not a compositing or visual effects program. And what you are trying to do falls squarely in that catagory.
Shake, After effects...these are what you need to look for. And ROTOSCOPING...

Making arc shape cut-out from multiple objects

As seen in the attached image, I want the red arc shape to cut out from the green logo it is sitting on top of, while also having the red arc dissappear and reveal the transparent bg. I have tried a bunch of different ways that I have read from these forums but none of them seem to work. Obviously I'm missing something. The green shield logo is made of multiple objects. The closest I got was the arc shape cut out from some of the objects of the green logo, but not all of them, and the arc shape didn't cut out as an arc, but rather as the original rectangle. The arc is created with a regular rectangle with arc effect.

That worked. So please explain to me what the "Expand" does? I only selected the two objects that make up the shield, which one is a green outline with white fill, and the other no outline with green fill. I was only allowed to do Object > Expand, not expand appearance. What is the difference between expand and expand appearance and what does expand do?
The below picture shows the result I wanted. Thank you.

Using ps trying to remove an object from a picture, following steps but when object is removed area is replaced by another portion of the photo like someones face as opposed to what should normally be in the background

using PS on a regular computer windows 7 tryng to remove an object from a picture, following steps in the tutorial however when the object is removed it is replaced by another (unwanted) portion of the photo i.e. someones face instead of what would have normally been in the background

Well, we can't know. You have not told us what tools you use and what steps nor provided any screenshots. From your description it simply sounds like you are following some tutorial (which again we know nothing about because you haven't told us which one) and getting things wrong. You need to do much better if you want people to help you.

How do I move an object from one photo to another and then change the scene, i.e. winter to sum?

How do I move an object from one photo to another and then change the scene, i.e. winter to summer?

OK.
Open the picture with the new scene. This will be your canvas.
Open the picture with object A, select it with one of the selection tools, go to Edit>copy
Go back to the new scene/canvas, Go to Edit>paste
Repeat for object B
Use the move tool to position A & B, each on its own layer. Use the corner handles of the bounding box to resize, if necessary
You should have 3 layers: Background layer, and the 2 layers with A & B
Note: It's best if the resolution of the 3 picture files is the same value.

Setting the name of a new object from a string

Is there anyway I can set the object name of a newly created
object from a string?
eg.
(the code below generates a compile time error on the
variable declaration)
public function addText(newTxt:String, txt:String,
format:TextFormat):void {
var
this[newTxt]:TextField = new TextField();
this[newTxt].autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
this[newTxt].background = true;
this[newTxt].border = true;
this[newTxt].defaultTextFormat = format;
this[newTxt].text = txt;
addChild(this[newTxt]);
called using>
addText("mytxt", "test text", format);
I could then reference the object later on without using
array notation using mytxt.border = false; for example
There are many a time when I want to set the name of a new
object from a string.
In this example I have a function that adds a new text object
to a sprite.
The problem is, if I call the function more than once then
two textfield objects will exist, both with the same name. (either
that or the old one will be overwritten).
I need a way of setting the name of the textfield object from
a string.
using
var this[newTxt]:TextField = new TextField()
does not work, If I take the "var" keyword away it thinks it
a property of the class not an object.
resulting in >
ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property newTxt on
Box.
There must be a way somehow to declare a variable that has
the name that it will take represented in a string.
Any help would be most welcome
Thanks

Using:
var this[newTxt]:TextField = new TextField()
is the right approach.
You can either incrment an instance variable so that the name
is unique:
newTxt = "MyName" + _globalCounter;
var this[newTxt]:TextField = new TextField();
globalCounter ++;
Or store the references in an array:
_globalArray.push(new TextField());
