How do I isolate or extract an image from a photo?

Does anyone know of any programs that will help to extract an image from a photo so it doesn't have an ugly background?

I use PhotoShop Elements 6 - click here for links to other graphic programs to consider (not all will do what you want).

  • I saw Corey Barker do a demo where he extracted an image from the background, then cleaned up the edge with a process that allowed him to de-fringe it.  I can't remember how he did it. And I can't find it.  Help!

    I saw Corey Barker do a demo a few weeks ago where he extracted an image from the background, then used a technique I was not familiar with to clean it up. You selected the area, then did something that involved going either to edit or select, then there was a dialog box that allowed you to dial it in, depending on the color background you were removing.  I can't find this anywhere. Can't remember.  It's driving me crazy!  If someone can help me find this, I would be very glad and grateful. Thanks!  Laura

    In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
    iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
    She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
    Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
    I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
    She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

  • How to copy an image from a photo onto another photo

    Im trying to figure out how to cut and paste an image from one photo onto another. I tried exporting the main photo to a pages document and then inserting the other image, but cant seem to get it to work. Is there an easy way to do this?

    You'll need an image editor for the job:
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    _[The Gimp|http://www.gimp.org/macintosh>_ also free
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    [Pixelmator|http://www.pixelmator.com> ($60 approx.)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • How can I manually attach images from my photo booth (imported into iPhoto) to emails? Auto function, in photo booth has my photos lying sideways?

    How can I manually attach images from my photo booth to iCloud emails?
    They are imported as 'events' into my iphoto library.
    Auto function, in photo booth has my photos lying sideways when placed in 'mail' emails?

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • HT5517 How can have full picture using mirrored image from iPad

    How can have full picture using mirrored image from iPad on my Apple TV airplay

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone 4S or prior an aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
    You may wish to try each of the settings in ‘Settings > Audio & Video > Adjust for AirPlay overscan’ for the best setting that suits you.

  • Extracting Linked images from PDF

    Good afternoon,
    I have a PDF which I created in illustrator but unfortunately I had a problem with with my computer which meant that the recovered files were corrupted. I found a PDF on disc which opens in Acrobat just fine but when I open it in illustrator it asks for the linked images which of course I do not have.
    The linked images must be in the PDF as they show up ok.
    Is there a way of extracting the images from the PDF so that I can do a repair in illustrator?
    Hope someone can help.
    Thank  you,
    Kirk

    If you have photoshop, open that pdf from it.  File/open, then chose images...
    Another option, if you have Acrobat Pro, go to Advanced/Document procesing/Export images

  • Best way to extract all images from Messages?

    My iPad freaked out earlier today and unfortunately I had to do a recovery and restore (from iCloud backup).  I say unfortunately because I was 90% certain I was not backing up photos/video (and there was no way to check before doing the restore).  And indeed I had photo/video backup turned off.
    I'm mostly back to normal now, except for all the lost photos/videos.  I've gone through some of Messages to Save ones I sent there. 
    What is the best way to extract all images from past Messages so I don't have to tediously load earlier messages?   I understand there are some programs that allow one to go through a local backup and go through messages.  But for this I suppose I'd first need to make a local backup of everything, no?  Are those programs able to extract just images I've sent or do they grab everything (i.e. images others have sent me?)
    Related, before I did the initial restore could I have easily retrieved the photos/images on the device through some third-party solution?
    Lastly, and semi-off topic.. What determines the image name for an image in Messages?   For example, I Copied a photo someone sent me via Messages and Pasted it three times back to her (all at the same time).   The image filenames are IMG_6447.jpg,  IMG_4820.jpg, IMG_0291.jpg.  

    Thanks Kirby.  I utilize Aperture 3 by reference instead of a compiled library.  So I have individual folder/projects stored on my laptop.  By exporting as a library, does Aperture bring these folders and related images "with it"?
    What I don't want to lose is any post processing I do in the field which creates separate versions and/or .PSD files.
    Thanks for your continued assistance.

  • Extracting an image from WebBrowser

    I want to extract an image from WebBrowser and I don't want to download it because some server don’t let download to non-browsers.
    Does method for this operation?

    First of all you need to get the image url. To retrieve this you can use Regex, or HTMLAgilityPack or etc. 
    than you can download it from the url of the image as:
    public static void DownloadImageWithWebclient(string url)
    try
    string filename = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(new Uri(url).LocalPath);
    var _client = new WebClient();
    _client.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri(url), filename);
    catch
    There are many alternative ways of downloading such as non async. 
    Also, you can set webclient headers and useragent to responde to the target website as a browser in order to avoid being blocked your request.

  • How can I download automatically only new images from my camera?

    Hello,
    I can not download only new images from my EOS 450D-camera with Elements 10-Photodownloafer (Mac os).
    Each time I use Photodownloader it downloads all images , also those that were downloaded preveously
    How can I set photodownloader?
    Thanks for your advices

    I share my card with my wife and she likes to download our images also on her PC, so erasing all images is not an option.
    It seems that earlier version of adobe photo downloader has the feature "copy only new files" , but V10 does not.
    Thanks for your answer

    Don’t you format the card in the camera after each download? That will wipe all images and prepare the card for a fresh shoot.
