How to make background of layer transparent so just the object shows up?....

Hi, I don't know if there's a way to do what I'm trying to but I'm trying to take a jpg picture that I uploaded onto my photoshop elements editor, then using the maze I have on microsoft word to make a maze out of the picture. I was able to paste the maze over the picture by using the over lay option for the 2nd layer and making it more transparent but the lines are getting too transparent also and you can't see some of the lines at all that is over white areas. Is there another way that I can make it so that the lines (of the maze) only show up and make it so the white background is totally transparent?
I'm also wondering how I can change the whole background color without affecting the picture or anything else. This is my first time playing with the elements editor, I was just thinking I guess I could make a botttom layer and make the layer the color I want or will it bleed through to the other layers or the other layers just cover it up? I really don't know what I'm doing and really don't know about these layers, I'm surprised I was able to do what I did.
Thank you for any suggestions or help.
IDK if I'm explaining this right so here is a link to the image.
Thanks

With this image, it will be easiest to select the white background.
1. I would recommend using the Quick Select Tool. Select the white background.
2. Because you want the lung guy on his own layer not the white background, you need to invert the selection. Select<Inverse.
3. Copy the lung guy onto his own layer. On PC, press ctrl + J. If on a Mac, the shortcut is cmd + J.
4. You can now copy/paste lung guy in the desired photo. Alternately, you can drag his layer from the layers palette and drop him into the other document. (If the resolution of lung guy doesn't match your image's resolution, he will shrink or expand as his layer will take on the resolution of the document he is moved into.)
Note: I would not use the lettering as you can see where the lung guy's image overlaps. It will be an easier project if you redo the lettering in Word or use the Photoshop Element's text tool...maybe with text warp and a layer style....to add the text.

  • How to make use of adjacent data elements within the same buffer

    Hi,
             Does anyone know how to make use of adjacent data elements within the same buffer? To make my question clearly, I would like to give you an example. In my application, I set "sample to read" as 10 which means at each loop 10 data samples will be taken into a buffer. Now, what I would like to do is to do some calculations on adjacent data samples in same buffer. I tried to use "shift register" for this, but it seemed to me that it only can deal with the calculation between data from adjacent loops. In other words, it skips 9 data elements and take the 10th one for the calculation.
             Here I also attach my VI showing what I did.
        Thank you very much in advance,
                            Suksun

    Hi Suksun,
          I hope you'll forgive me for distilling your code - mainly to understand it better.  I tried to duplicate your logic exactly - which required reversing the "derivatives"-array before concatination with the current samples array.  As in your code, the last velocity is being paired with the first position.  If first velocity is really supposed to be paired with first position, just remove the "Reverse 1D Array" node.
    cheers

  • How to make a redirect without auto-redirect from the portlet "edit" mode?

    How to make a redirect without auto-redirect from the portlet "edit" mode?
    I use some sofisticated customizing with server-side validation of the form data. I want to redirect to the page of the portlet "show" mode and to the "edit" mode depending on the validation results. How can I do it?

    Heay.....this worked for me.
    I am able to change the mode programatically from edit to show.
    HttpPortletRendererUtil.handleEditAction(portletRenderRequest,"OK");
    I removed Apply , OK and Cancel buttons and applied my own Submit and Back button in Personalize mode and then change the mode to show on click of Back button using the above mentioned statement.
    Thanks

  • Hi , How to make a calculated kf as local in the query definition

    Hi ,
    How to make a calculated kf as local in the query definition
    Regards,
    Ravi.

    Hi,
    Calculate KF consists of Basic, restrict and other calculated kFs stored in Metadata repository.
    Calculate KF is a replicate of Formula and acts as Global.
    Calculate KF acts as Global--you can use Globally.
    Formula as Local--you can use as local to Query.
    you can create the Calculate KF as follow:
    Goto Query Designer>Open/Create Query>Select Key Figures Mode on left side of Query>Select that KF node> right click Select Calculate Keyfigure.
    then one popup window dispays, so you make the calculations based on Basic KF, Restirct Kf and Formule. then save it.
    Regards,
    Suman.

  • How to make more than one person can access the database at one time

    how to make  more than one person can access the database at one time 

    Please post further f'up's in the Access forum.
    In short: for different reasons it is best practice that each user gets its own local copy of the database. This means that you need to split it into a front-end which only consists of the forms, queries, reports etc. Everything which doesn't need to be
    shared. And a back-end, which only stores the data.
    Take also a look at Allen Browne's article:
    Split your Access database into data and application.
    When you've splitted your database, you may often consider to use SQL Server as back-end. Here you may read Armen Stein's

    Thanks

    There is a plugin available for Mail called Attachment Tamer, which allows much greater control over the way Mail handles attachments, among other things. Icon view is one of them.

    I believe you can run it in demo mode before purchasing to see if it does what you want.

  • How to make a selection partially transparent?

    Hi. I open a jpg image in PS, use a quick selection tool to select what I want and then I'd like to make that selection 80% transparent. How do I do that?
    Thank you.

    One way is to convert the background layer to a regular layer, add a layer mask after making the selection, invert the layer mask and use the masks panel to control the transparency (density setting) of the selection.

  • After rotobrush, how to make background picture appear in the video when exporting it to PremierePro

    I seem to have problems saving/using it with premiere pro. it's a 10 second video of myself with 3 pics: 2 that I put in front of the video and one as a background. In after effects, in the bottom left corner box, the 2 pics are above the video file and the background picture is below it. Still in after effects, the background pic is there behind me and the 2 other pictures are in front of my video which is where everything should be, great. When i save it, then export it to premiere pro, the 2 pics in front are there but not the background pic, the background is just my full video as if I didn't rotobrush it.  Help??
    Also, how can i export the project as a file in Avi, mpeg, mp4...?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello Mylenium, i do apologize about my ambiguous question. I'm starting to learn how to use it and in some way, i didn't even know what i was talking about myself. But thanks to your help, i now got it.
    "When you export an After Effects project as an Adobe Premiere Pro project, Adobe Premiere Pro uses the settings from the first composition in the After Effects project for all subsequent sequences. Keyframes, effects, and other properties are converted in the same way as when you paste an After Effects layer into an Adobe Premiere Pro sequence."
    so as it says above, it only uses the initial video. What i did was only render using the rotobrush and i didn't "render queue" the whole project afterwards simply because i didn't know i had to do that. I thought rendering it from rotobrushing it and adding the background effects would be enough.
    Again, thank you. and i also learned how to save it in different format, since AVI outputs a huge file size.

  • How to make background image editable in a template

    I have built a template and would like to make the background
    image editable, but not the rest of the settings in the body style.
    (I'm not sure of my terminology yet.) The background image is
    currently set in the locked part of the page. I've tried to insert
    an editable region in the html code, as I cannot get to the
    background image by clicking on it or selecting on the Design page.
    But I am not allowed to change the code in this way.
    What is the best way to do this? I'm not sure how to make a
    div of this one setting. Or even if that is what is needed.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    So to give a different background image to different pages using CSS.
    Create a CSS file in your Dreamweaver site.
    Link it to your pages.(in your head tag like so: <link href="path/to/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />)
    In your HTML code find the body tag and give it an id (like so: <body id="myUniqueID">)
    In your stylesheet write the following code:
    #myUniqueID{
    background: #color, url("path/to/image.jpeg") repeat);
    And now extrapolate the above steps and code to your other pages and voila, you now have different background images for your different pages.
    To learn more about CSS - visit your local web search engine.
    To see the power of CSS, check out http://csszengarden.com/ where the exact same HTML file is styled by different CSS stylesheets.
