How should I cut out people on bicycles with a background of a forest?

Dear Everyone,
I have an image of three people on bicycles in a forest - I need to cut the people/bicycles out of the background for use in a photo collage. Since the nooks and crannies in and around the bicycle are so small, I am not sure that even the pen tool is the best method to use. What do you suggest?
Thanks so much!!

Could you post a lores-version and maybe a fullres-detail (with the camera icon)?
Clipping intricate stuff out of a richly structured background (as wood probably is) is usually a difficult task, but seeing the image might give a better idea of how bad the situation is.

  • How do you cut out exact figures?

    When I use the lasso tool to carve out a figure and paste it in some other application I get the the figure I cut embedded in a white box. How do I just cut and paste only the figure?

    Thanks that worked!

    System clipboards can be finicky, to say the least.
    Also which operating system and application do you want to paste into?
    The following may help:
    1. With your selection active around your object, right click inside the selection.
        In the menu choose New Layer via Copy. (makes a new layer with just your
        selected object)
    2. Right click on the new layer in the layers pallete and choose Duplicate Layer.
        In the dialog box, where it says document choose new from the drop down menu.
        You can name it or not. Click ok.
    3. A new document should be created with just that layer.
    4. Depending on how big the document is, you could use the Rectangle Marque Tool
       (M on the keyboard) and draw a selection box around your object and then go to
       Image>Crop, then Select>Deselect.
    5. Save your image as a PNG file. File>Save As and choose png from the drop down.
        It should say File must be saved as copy, thats fine.
    6. Open or insert your png into the application of choice.

  • How do you cut out the part of an image in a photo?

    How do you cut out a part of an image on a photo that you have added to Pages. For example, if I have added a picture of a giraffe to Pages how would I cut out the giraffe from the image and get rid of the rest of the image

    You can use the instant alpha tool to make the background transparent.
    FYI: Pages is part of iWork, not iLife.

    They sometimes have that information on the label. Otherwise, it's trial and error. The model you have is a Late 2009 13" MacBook. It came with a special version of 10.6.1 pre-installed.

    Hello everyone, i want to know how can i found out the purchases made with my credit card (not by my apple ID)?
    I found out in my Credit Card bill some purchases in itunes store that wasn't made by me.
    thanks to all helpers

    This would be something you would need to address with your credit card company. Apple cannot tell you who else might have used your card nor what purchases they might have made. Call your credit card company and report the charges as fraudulent. You'll probably need to have them cancel your existing card and issue you a new one.
    Regards.

  • How many frames should I cut out each second to get a old film look?

    Hi,
    What is the general rule of thumb (if their is one) of how many frames should be cut every second to achieve a choppy old film look? Or maybe it's not every second? What do you guys do?

    you will get a more realistic look if you chop out frames manually
    dump the playhead arbitrarily on the time line insert a cut nudge the playhead either i or 2 frames on and cut again discard the frames and either leave the black or butt the clips up for a "skip".
    this really doesn't take long to do and is better than a predetermined sequence of chops made by a filter.
    CGM do a free filter for aged film to add the hairs, navel lint, boogers etc . .

  • How should I break out individual Acts from an entire performance?

    I've successfully assembled multiple video clips and separately recorded audio into a master timeline, of a community (Chinese) New Year's show lasting 1½ hours.
    I want to break out portions of that to polish and post on youku, use as a single source clip in a different project, etc.  Suppose, as a concrete example, I want to work with Act 7, and have identified the mark-in and out points.  I used a marker with a duration to remember it.
    I suppose I could copy just that 10 minutes to a new timeline (If I could figure out how to do a non-point selection), vertically across all tracks, and start editing that: adding intro, cutting out boring parts, bringing in other assets like a logo.
    That's the essential effect I want, but would very much like it to be still referencing the Master.  Then, when I improve the audio or color balance of the entire thing, or add more assets from people sending in their footage, I get the updated results in the Act 7 timeline as well, even though I've cut out or re-arranged sections and it's not a single unbroken match to the original 10-minute span.
    In particular, my immediate concern is to make a rough draft of the Act 7 video, before going back to reduce noise and tweak the color.
    What's the right way to do this?

    like jim says, if you shrink or expand the edit in the nested sequence, it wont automatically shrink or expand the nest in the master timeline. you will have to adjust it manually.  so if you cut out a speech, it wont automatically shrink or adjust the sequences on the master timeline.
    Then what did he mean by “Any changes in the Nested Sequences will then be carried into your master sequence.”
    What kind of changes, if not edits?  I thought that meant the length of the nested clip will not change but its contents will, in the same way as a media file on the master timeline.
    I think nobody is understanding what I asked.  I'll clarify with an illustration:
    Example for Planning Workflow
    My Master Real-Time Timeline contains
    ⋯ blahblah ⋯ [1111112222333333444444555555] ⋯ blahblah ⋯
    with several tracks.
    Step 1: I want to copy the labeled range (between the [⋯]) to a new timeline, which I'll call Act7ver1.  Then, I'll edit it
    iii2223334444445ooo
    (adding clips for intro and outtro, and cutting parts out of the original),
    choose which tracks to switch between and what times,
    add any effects.
    If this were a nested timeline, it would show up the edited way in the Master as well.  Not what I'm asking.
    Step 2: Receive additional video clips and add them to the Master, and add a new audio track that cleans up the original audio.
    Step 2b: Revisit Act7ver1.  Master's changes to source clips would show up in any timeline that uses them, so copy/paste in step 1 would be fine.  But adding new tracks that are aligned with the same time range?  I'll want to use the new audio track, and decide if I want to cut in any of the new video angles.
    Step 3: Copy the same labeled range(between the [⋯]) again to a new timeline, which for sake of the example I'll call Act7ver二.
    It will contain the entire unchanged range, not the cut-up version from ver1.
    I'll edit it differently, keeping more of the talking between the music, which are exactly those parts cut out of ver1.
    Different intro, etc.
    Step 4: Some time later, I'll copy a part of the range to a new project.  Since this is a tutorial, I'll switch between the different mic, mix, and edited sound tracks to illustrate the difference.  That is, all the tracks are available, not just the normal presentation copy used normally.  I don't expect to be changing the original anymore, but I like to keep the option of having the various uses see the updated version or keep the original, which is a special case of seeing new tracks present and synced.
    If I save over the source file, all uses see the new content.
    If I "replace clip", and the replacement is not a complete length of the original (the audio is original is 97 minutes, but I only remix one 8 minute act) it won't line up.  Putting the new mix on the Master Real-Time is my solution, especially in light of (4) showing the before/after as part of the script.
    So ideally I want the "smart object" I pasted in the first place to see whatever is currently in the Master at the position it refers to, including tracks that were not present before.
    Understanding thus far
    Simply selecting the original range and turning it into a nested timeline will not do what I want.  But, maybe a more advanced use of this feature?  ⋯ later:  Hmm, maybe it is?  Editing the timeline selects pieces of the elements without modifying them.  I see a new feature highlight discussing source-edit mode and acting like a copy/paste so all the tracks show up.  But I don't know if this is indeed just a cut/paste or a smart object that still allows updates to the definition (of the timeline being nested) to show up in this usage.  It sounds difficult to reconcile changes to what's on the various tracks.  Anyone explored this new feature and have more than a superficial review posted?  (What I've seen just shows that the tracks show up "like a copy/paste" but does not explore changing the referenced timeline or limitations of editing the "pasted" track’s content.)
    Adding a track to the Master won't show up in the nested timelines, but there are not a lot of them so if it is straightforward to razor it at the matching places and pop them in explicitly, that's fine.
    More Thoughts
    What about a script that can generate a new timeline from a marked range, across all tracks that might be present?  Then it can be re-run just as easily if the Master changes, and I don't need them to automatically follow any changes: I'll push changes explicitly.
    The underlying issue is getting new content into the various projects, synced up at the proper position, even if I have to explicitly grab it while editing the project.  The new track has to line up properly with the clips being used.
    Ad Interim
    For this current project in progress, I can add a dummy track for the future cleaned audio, and get it into the nested timelines from the start.  Then saving over the file or a replace-clip can take care of it later.
    Intended Workflow
    I need to produce a passable first draft of each Act quickly.
    Then, do further work on materials that are not necessarily neatly contained within each Act, but cross through them, and are not the exact same start-time and length as any existing clip.  It seems natural to do this on a Master Real-Time timeline.
    Easily incorporate the new or updated material into the Act timelines, and continue editing the Acts.
    then later,
    Use the material in other projects (a mundane use of nesting, esp. with the new feature, is fine here for normal uses.  The aforementioned video documenting the different steps is a special case.

  • How do i cut out a car in Premiere Pro CC?

    So i'm making this short film with some friends and i one of the scenes one of my friends needs to get run over by a car. But we filmed it in a stupid angle so i couldn't use linear wipe. I thougth you then just could cut out the car and add some feather to it. But i've searched on Google and Youtube for answers but can't find anything that can do that.
    Is there anyone who knows if there is such an effect in Premiere pro?
    It would help me out alot.
    Thanks!

    In PremierePro stnadlaone, you might be able to do it with some sort of matte:
    Try out three keying effects | Adobe Premiere Pro CC tutorials
    and then use the masking and tracking controls to key out pixels as needed and then track them through the shot
    Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Masking and Tracking
    Or, better yet, use After Effects.:

  • Internet cuts out for 30 secs with powerline adapter PLSK400

    I recently just bought a powerline starter kit (PLSK 400) and I plugged one adapter into the router and into the electrical socket. (which is up stairs). I plugged in my other adapter downstairs in my room and it is hooked up to my PC and Playstation. 
    The only problem is that my internet cuts out every 20 mins for about 30 secs. This gets annoying cause I play games a lot on my desktop. Any reason why this may be happening?

    Hi paperstreet, to change channels you will have to access the PLW400 setup page first.

  • Need to know how to find out the Variant associated with a background job

    Hello,
    Plz help me in finding out how to find the variant associated with a background job. I need to know which variant does the program picks up when it runs the scheduled background job. There are so many variants that exist. How do I figure out which one is being picked up by the program. When I go and see into the job that are already finished it shows the parameter as "&00000000645354" which I do not understand what it corresponds to. I was expecting a variant name instead of this number in the parameter field. Is there a way I can find out the name of teh variant the program is using automatically in the background job ??
    Thanks in anticipation

    Yes it is possible which is variant, input fields are choosen
    - go to SM37 and locate the background job which was processed using proper selection criteria
    - select the Job and click on 'Step' button availabe in the screen
    - the new screen is 'step list overview'. now, place the cursor on selected variant avaialble on the screen, then from Menu >> Goto>> variant
    which gives the list of input values.
    hope this helps
    Thanks

    Optimize Your Settings
    Depending on how they are set, a few features may decrease your iPhone battery life. The tips below apply to an iPhone running iOS 7.0 or later.
    Enable Wi-Fi: Having Wi-Fi enabled helps consume less power when doing activities that access data. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and log in to a Wi-Fi network.
    Adjust brightness: Dim the screen or turn on Auto-Brightness to extend battery life. Turning on Auto-Brightness allows the screen to adjust based on lighting conditions.
    Fetch new data less frequently: The more frequently email or other data is fetched, the quicker your battery may drain. To fetch data manually: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and tap Manually.
    Turn off push notifications: Apps with Push Notification alert you of new data, which may impact battery life. To disable, go to Settings > Notifications, choose the app you want to disable, and do the following:
    Change Alert Style to None.
    Turn Badge App Icon off.
    Turn Sounds off.
    Note: New data will be received when you open the app.
    Minimize use of location services: Apps that actively use location services, such as Maps, may reduce battery life. You can see which applications have recently used location services by going to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
    Use Airplane Mode in low- or no-coverage areas: Your iPhone always tries to maintain a connection with the cellular network, which may use more power in low- or no-coverage areas. Turn on Airplane Mode to increase battery life in these situations.
    Viewing Usage StatisticsKnowing and understanding your iPhone usage can help you better manage your battery life. To view your iPhone usage statistics, go to Settings > General > Usage. Under “Time since last full charge”:
    Usage: Amount of time iPhone has been awake and in use since the last full charge. iPhone is awake when you’re on a call, using email, listening to music, browsing the web, or sending and receiving text messages, or during certain background tasks such as auto-checking email.
    Standby: Amount of time iPhone has been powered on since its last full charge, including the time the phone has been asleep.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!
