Extract filter CS4

I've been trying to find the extract filter in CS4. Is it in there somewhere?
Haven't had to use this in a while and can't find it.
I've heard it's an optional plug in and it's on the installation disk, but where. I can't find it.
Please point me in the right direction
Thanks

Extract filter will not come up in Photoshop CS4 64 bit

I have put the extactPlus into the Plug-ins folder. I close and open Photoshop. the extract filter is not there. What can I do?

There is a bit more. I didn't know if anyone had the same problem as me but here is the rest. I found there is a photoshop cs4 in (x86) and one in the none (x86) progam files. Be sure you are using the icon that starts the none (x86) version of photoshop. I went to the files of the none (x86) and clicked on the PS blue icon in the same bunch of program files where in inserted the extract filter. Then it worked. I know there are a lot of veriations but I hope this works for you.

Hmmm. It hasn't worked for me. I installed the plug-in in the Program Files as well (not x86) and it still doesn't show up on my laptop running 64bit. Specifically the plug in is in the plug in folder > filters folder as stated in the instructions. I'm thinking it could be a graphics card issue or any number of things. Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks! Marvin

Where is the Extract filter in Photoshop 6 beta?

Seems to nbe missing and no help in help.

The extract filter was removed in CS4. Adobe says there are better options. They prefer edge detection as described below.
Edge Detection: The Extract filter was left out of CS4, although it was available as a separate install. (Rumor has it that the new Edge Detection feature wasn’t ready for CS4 and was pushed back to CS5.) While the Extract filter got a lot of bad press, it was really due to misuse. Luckily, Photoshop CS5 does a better job than the filter. Selection of complex edges, such as curly hair, has always been a problem. The Edge Detection setting is now part of the Refine Edge and Refine Mask dialogs. The feature is fairly easy to use: make a selection or a layer mask, open the Refine Edge dialog (Select>Refine Edge), and use the Refine Radius tool (E) to brush over the desired area. (There’s an Erase Refinements tool [just press Shift-E] in case you don’t like the results and want to try again.) In addition, there’s a Smart Radius checkbox with a Radius adjustment slider to make selections even easier. This tool makes short work of some tough selections, but it’s not for every image. I found it worked great on some images, but not others. You still might want to bone up on using the image calculations for advanced selections.

Extract Filter

I have gone from Photoshop CS to Photoshop CS4. In Photoshop CS, there is an 'extract filter' which is brilliant at removing objects from one photo and pasting it to another. I can't find this filter in Photoshop CS4. Any idea where it is or what has replaced it?
Many thanks.

Extract filter in CS5 (Mac)

I just got CS5 last week and I'm trying to use the Extract filter but can't seem to find it anywhere. If I remember correctly, I had to download the plugin for CS4 but I don't see anything for CS5, only for Windows. What's up with that? Can anyone tell me if there's a plugin for PS CS5 Mac yet? Thank you in advance.

Extract Filter Plug-in Not working

I tried to install the optional extract filter on CS4 Extended by dropping it into the photoshop filters folder. When I tried to open it a message comes up that says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." When I restart photoshop it says the filter is not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

You are trying to use the 64bit version in a 32bit PS or vice versa. Find the correct respective version on your disc and install it to the correct directories.

Where to find the "Extract" filter...?

Hello community,
I'm having a funny problem here.... I cannot find the "Extract" filter in my "Filter" menu.... I found out that there is supposed to be a "Goodies" folder on one of the install DVDs, but there isn't. I was able to find the downloads for this (meanwhile) optional filter on adobe.com, but they're only in French, Enlish, and Spanish. However, I use the German version. Clues anyone where I can download the German version? (I tried the English/French/Spanish version, but my German PS CS4 wouldn't accept it...)
Thanks.
Hallo Gemeinde,
ich habe ein eigenartiges Problem hier - ich kann den "Extrahieren"-Filter im "Filter"-Menu nicht finden. Ich habe auf adobe.com die herunterladbare Version dieses zwischenzeitlich als "optional" geführten Filter in der Version English, Spanisch und Französisch gefunden, aber nicht für deutsch (ich benutze die deutsche Version.) Die anderssprachige Version verträgt mein PS CS4 leider nicht... Irgendwelche anderen Lösungen?
Danke für die Hilfe.

Alright, for all who are just as blind as I am myself: go here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=39&platform=Macintosh and you'll find all the resources needed for your Mac - not only the German version, but all additional / optional content for (international) versions all the way down to CS2.
Thanks for bothering anyway...
OK, für all diejenigen, die genauso blind sind wie ich: geht hierhin: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=39&platform=Macintosh und findet für Euren Mac alle optionalen Zusatzmodule (auch international) - nicht nur in der deutschen Version für PS bis runter zur CS2.
Trotzdem danke für's Durchlesen...

Extract Filter is sorely missed.

Can anyone tell me why Adobe doesn't want us using the Extract filter? Was it created by someone they don't like? Some copyright issue? There is nothing that works like it or replaces it. I am very frustrated! I am creating my psd files in CS4, then opening in CS6 to do the rest. I WANT MY EXTRACT FILTER BACK!

As far as I can tell one cannot save intermediate steps with Extract per se.
But quite frankly I have a hard time imagining what image/task would justify spending two contiguous hours in that feature.
Maybe you could work around it with the old Channel-methods or combine Masks arrived at both from extract as well as the various Selection-methods.

Extract in CS4

Hello, When clicking on Filters ," Extract" is unseen . Where's this tool ? Thanks .

There are other options available, including:
Mask Pro (http://www.ononesoftware.com/detail.php?prodLine_id=4)
Knockout (http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1152105061771#tabview=tab0)
In the meantime, just install if from the Content disc. Look in:
English\Goodies\Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended\Optional plug-ins
I don't think you should have to pay $100 for a comparable plug-in if Extract does the job. The Mask panel, Color Range and Quick Select do not offer comparable replacements for the Extract tool. With channels, masks and some tweaking you can get similar results, but for hair and wispy edges, the extract filter could give you some useful results. It wasn't perfect, but it's a shame they pulled the plug and didn't really offer a better alternative.
And where's the pattern maker? That one was handy for certain tasks...

Problem with Extract Filter

I have Problem with Extract Filter which was working OK until recently.
Now, when I choose the filter the screen does not come up as the extract screen as it should and no other action can be taken except to press escape which returns me to normal. working. Looks as if the extraction function has been sleected but does not show?
I am trying to use the extract on a layer. Have tried to use it on a selection also.
Anyone suggest a solution please?
Bill

Without a way to reset the tool, the only possibility seems to be to reset your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
(A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.)

Extract Filter v Refine Edge CS5

I hear a lot of people talking blithely about how superior Refine Edge is to the previous Extract Filter.
If you look at the two sample files called "Auto Align 1" and "Auto Align 2" in the tutorials folder a couple of versions back you'll find 2 children with sharp outlines against the background and frothy hair around the girl. Can someone please explain to me how refine edge can - in 1 fell swoop - eliminate the clearly defined background around the shoulders AND leave the frothiness of the girls' hair? Until then I stand resolute that REFINE EDGE is NOT a substitute for the EXTRACT FILTER at all!

Based on my experience, I suggest the following, when using Refine Edge:
1. Foremost: Work on as high resolution an image as you can.
2. As I mentioned, listen carefully to what Russell Brown says in his video. Less is more when it comes to selection, then add areas of transition.
3. Take the time, as you might with the old extract filter, to brush carefully over the areas of transition to make sure you get all the strands.
4. Check your results against the white and black backgrounds using W and B shortcut keys to make sure you've got all the areas of transition you need.
5. Don't be afraid to use the Decontaminate Colors feature - possibly even cranked all the way up.
6. Understand that if you're masking someone Photographed in a light studio, that hair highlights and other visual cues might not look right against a dark background, and you may need to use the Burn tool or other techniques to help hide that. The eye/brain are great at picking up inconsistencies in the lighting, and that has little to do with masking.
As with anything, it takes some getting used to and practice, but the results can be quite good.

What happened to the Extract filter? (In CS5)

I just upgraded to PS CS5 (from CS3). Where did they move the Extract filter to?
Does CS5 have a newer, better way to extract a subject from its background than CS3's extract filter?
Thanks-

The Extract filter was eliminated as it has been made utterly obsolete by the new selection techniques in CS5.

I need help, i have the CC 2014 and i can npt get to associate the "extract filter"

How did you get the Extract filter into Photoshop CC? You will need to undo that - especially if you copied a whole batch of plug-ins supplied by Adobe with an earlier version.
