Deleting the grey in the background of a photo photoshop CC 2014

hey all
how can I delete the grey in the background
the grey on her face for example if you see what i mean
to say it differently how can i leave only the shape lines
i ve tried playing with the curve (CTRL+M) but i couldn't
if it is the only way to do so then i guess i should mess with it until i get the result I wanted XD
and thank you in advance for your answers

The dialog style has changed to the new standards.  Adobe no longer provides the thumbnail support, but there are good alternatives available for not much money...  For example, if you add the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack to Windows it will give you thumbnails and preview support in all OS dialogs (not just Photoshop):
Here's what I see, for example, in a Photoshop File-Open dialog:

  • When rotoscoping, how do I delete the background of a video so that when I import it into final cut, the background is transparent and not black or white?

    Hello there,
    I am new to after effects.
    I'm currently working on some footage of a face talking. I have used the rotobrush to single out just the lips moving and have deleted the background. However, when I delete the background it automatically changes the background to a solid black.
    The effect i'm looking for is more something of the effect of a PNG in photoshop - no background so that when it is imported into a movie, the lips with be free standing over other footage so that the oner footage will be shown behind the moving image of the lips..
    I have looked at multiple tutorials and threads and found nothing that helps with my problem - if there is one, I apologise, I have just spent so long looking and thought here was the best place to come.
    If anyone can give me any advice it would be very greatly appreciated - Thankyou!

    First, check to make sure you actually HAVE transparency by doing one of three things: change the comp's background to something other than black, click on the button at the bottom of the comp window to view the alpha channel, or click the button on the bottom of the comp window to reveal the familiar Photoshop checkerboard background.
    Next, select a codec that supports alpha channels -- in Quicktime-Land, that would be Animation, PNG or Prores 4444.  For FCP, use ProRes if you can.
    After that add the comp to the AE Render Queue.  In the output module, select RGB+Alpha, Millions (or trillions) Of Colors +, and Straight, i.e. not premultiplied.  If you absolutely MUST have audio (I personally have little use for it), check the appropriate  check box.
    Finally, save the project and hit the render button.  DO NOT save the project again after rendering; instead, go file>Revert.  That way, if you have one of those Homer Simpson "DOH!" moments where you realize you made a mistake, you simply delete the rendered file, make corrections, and you're all set to re-render.

  • I have a picture of myself and am trying to delete the background and have just me in the picture

    Hey I took a pic of myself with PhotoBooth, and now I can't delete the background wall.

    The best, IMO, 3rd party editor for that is Photoshop Elements for Mac.  Here's what you can do with it:

  • How do I delete the background of an image so that it is clear, with ZERO color, not even white??

    How do I delete the background of an image so that there is ZERO color, not even white??

    Photoshop's "Background" is a special layer and does not support transparency.  You need to convert a Background layer to a normal layer if to want to cut out parts of the layer.

  • Help! Unwanted patterns appearing in the background of edited photos!

    Hopefully someone can shed some light on this- I'm continuing to have issues when I open a photo to edit in Elements. I will apply a filter or a distortion or even sharpen the image and then there are suddenly gray and white patterns that appear in the background of my photo. They're not pixels- it looks as though the background of the photo is showing through and it saves as a JPEG that way as well (background showing through). I've included a screenshot of a photo I was editing where it occurred.
    I've tried contacting support for this- the first time they claimed it was fixed (it wasn't) and the second time they hung up on me so I'm getting desperate to find someone with an answer here. Any help would be much appreciated- thanks!

    Update your graphics driver and flush the disk cache. This is an artifact that relates to that - eitehr the buffer reappears when you set it back to the old resolution or an invalid cache is pulled in. It only disappears when you change the resolution because naturally there is no previously stored data...

    If I restore my iPhone, will it delete the content of my photo stream?

    Nope. I have restored my iPod many times (4+) and it didn't ask me to purchase it again. But... if you try this using iTunes 8, you will experience less problems.

  • I have a PC and I am not able to download photos a group at a time.  It deletes the prvious group of photos each time.

    I have a PC and I am not able to download photos a group at a time.  It deletes the previous group of photos each time I download new ones.

    You need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad in one go - not including photos in a subsequent sync is the way that you delete them from the iPad (as you've found out). To sync multiple photo folders they will need to be directly off the same parent folder so that you can sync them together.

    Did you unzip the entire contents of the download zip file onto your hard drive before running the installer?  You need to do that.
    I have installed it myself and it went in just fine.

  • How do you make the background of your photo transparent?

    I have just cropped my pic using elements 12 and saved it as a png but it still has white corners around my circular pic. How do I get rid of the white corners?
    Thanks

    Rename the Background layer to anything else; this converts it to a "regular" layer. Select the white corners using the Magic Wand and Delete the selection. The white will be replaced by transparency.
    Initially, before you do the crop you can convert the Background layer. Then after cropping, with the circular selection still active, invert the circular selection and Delete.

  • I need help erasing the background of a photo.

    Sometimes I do it just fine and other times I can't get it to magic erase the background to save my neck.
    I've spent 4 hours trying to get this done today......earlier I did it to a photo in 5 minutes.
    HELP

    There's another approach to getting a transparent background -- using the selection brushes, but for a subject with areas of wispy hair you'll definitely need to do some handwork.
    Use the Quick Selection brush on the woman, alternating between the "add" and "subtract" modes to get a close approximation.
    Switch to the Selection Brush tool to refine the selection.
    Use Select...Feather with a setting of 1.7 pixels to soften the edges.
    Layer...New...Layer via Copy to copy the woman to a new layer with transparency.
    Now the most tedious part -- refining the wisps of hair.  Fortunately, there's only a small area that needs the work:
    Zoom in real tight and remove most of the dark areas by clicking on them with the Magic Eraser tool set to Tolerance:  32, Anti-Alias, and Contiguous. 
    Use the Background Eraser with a Tolerance of 14% to further remove dark areas internally and at the outer edges. 
    Use the Eyedropper to select a light gray hair colour and the Color Replacement Tool to paint over the wisps of hair to remove most of the green colour cast.
    Use the Clone tool at a 4pixel size to draw over some areas of the wisps of hair to further remove the green cast.
    Use the Smudge tool at about a 7px size to smooth out the tone in the individual wisps.
    Now comes the fun part of building the final image:
    Add two Color Fill layers beneath the extracted image.
    Change the colour of the upper Color Fill layer to a dark, somewhat gray blue.
    Change the colour of the lower Color Fill layer to a light, somewhat gray green.
    Draw a black-to-white radial gradient on the mask of the upper blue Color Fill layer, starting at the lower left and running to the upper right.
    Add a new empty layer immediately below the extracted image.
    On that empty layer, use Filter...Render...Clouds.
    On that clouds layer, use Filter...Blur...Surface Blur with a Radius:  25px and a Threshold:  25px.
    Set the Blend Mode of that clouds layer to "Multiply" and the Opacity to 62%.
    Refine and balance the overall effect by using the Eraser tool with a hard edge on the extracted image layer to clean up some of the edges, and use the Blur tool to get rid of any obvious hard edges.
    The layers wind up looking like this:
    And the final image looks like this:
    That clouds layer gives a nice, blurred "semi-natural" looking outdoors effect to the background -- since the lighting on her face is obviously natural sunlight, the background should also seem to be an outdoors background.
