How to remove subject from background using brush tool (Adobe Photoshop CS6)?

A few months ago I successfully extracted a subject from a background. I used a method I found on a tutorial video. All that I can remember from the method was that the initial steps invovled coloring over my subject with a brush tool. Since then, however, I can no longer find the tutorial video. I am well aware of the existance of the magic wand and may in fact use this technique instead in the future. However, I'd like the opportunity to try out alternatives. Can anyone explain the brush method to me in detail or refer me to a tutorial/thread/etc that can? Other alternatives are also welcome. Many thanks.

How to remove objects from pics using LR...

I am not a professional photographer and I do not have a whole lot of photo editing knowledge. I started out several years ago using Photoshop elements 5 and eventually learned how to do several things like moving objects around or removing them from a photo, or moving someone's face into a different picture if their eyes were closed and lots of nice editing features. I loved it and still love it. My laptop was getting really old and slow so I just recently purchased a new computer which has windows 8 on it. I loaded my photoshop elements and cannot get it to open or work properly and am wondering if it's because of the windows 8 operating system. So I then decided to purchase a new photo editing software. I decided (quickly.. too quickly) to purchase adobe lightroom just because it had very good reviews online. Now I have several pictures that need to be edited for Christmas and I cannot find any "lasso tool" or any thing similar right now.. I was so used to using the layers and features from the PE and now my heart is broken because I feel so lost and maybe broke at the same time!! This program is soooo different than what I was used to using but I don't even know if I can do the same things with it. EXAMPLE: there is an air conditioner unit in one of the photos I've taken and I was planning on removing it from the picture. Also I was aiming on moving a face over from another picture because of some closed eyes.. Someone please tell me, is this program capable of doing these things or can I only play with the lighting in this? Will I have to spend more of my $$ to get another Photoshop elements to get the features I use?

The above xml needs to be decomposed using xsu.I am facing a small problem because the xml has namespaces.
How to remove the namespace using java to get the below xml
Note:I am using XSLT for the transformation.The XSLT tag is not identifying the <DLList> tag with name space
<DLList>
<Weather>

<ForecastName>Devengiri</ForecastName>
<Humidity>89.9</Humidity>

Please help.Let me know if any other information is required
Thanks

OK, here goes :
For the example, I'll use a TB_DISTRICT table with the following structure :
create table tb_district (
sr_no number(3),
district_name varchar2(100)
);loaded with data from this page :
http://india.gov.in/knowindia/districts/andhra1.php?stateid=KA
and this XML document (one additional record compared to the one you posted) :
<DLList xmlns="http://www.test.com/integration/feed" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Weather>
<StateName>Karnataka</StateName>
<ForecastName>Bagalkote</ForecastName>
<Humidity>89.9</Humidity>
</Weather>
<Weather>
<StateName>Karnataka</StateName>
<ForecastName>Devengiri</ForecastName>
<Humidity>89.9</Humidity>
</Weather>
<Weather>
<StateName>Karnataka</StateName>
<ForecastName>Dharwad</ForecastName>
<Humidity>70.1</Humidity>
</Weather>
</DLList>In order to access the XML, I'll also use this Oracle directory object :
create directory test_dir as 'D:\ORACLE\test';Final relational tables are :
create table BUSINESS_TABLE
STATE         VARCHAR2(30),
DISTRICT_NAME VARCHAR2(30),
HUMIDITY      NUMBER
);and
create table REJECT_TABLE
STATE         VARCHAR2(30),
DISTRICT_NAME VARCHAR2(30),
HUMIDITY      NUMBER,
ERROR_MESSAGE VARCHAR2(500)
);With XMLTable function, we can easily break the XML into relational rows and columns ready to use for DML :
SQL> alter session set nls_numeric_characters=". ";
Session altered
SQL>
SQL> SELECT *
2 FROM XMLTable(
3    XMLNamespaces(default 'http://www.test.com/integration/feed'),
4    '/DLList/Weather'
5    passing xmltype(bfilename('TEST_DIR','test.xml'), nls_charset_id('CHAR_CS'))
6    columns
7      state         varchar2(30) path 'StateName'
8    , district_name varchar2(30) path 'ForecastName'
9    , humidity      number       path 'Humidity'
10 )
11 ;
STATE                          DISTRICT_NAME                    HUMIDITY
Karnataka                      Bagalkote                            89.9
Karnataka                      Devengiri                            89.9
Karnataka                      Dharwad                              70.1
Then with a multitable insert, we load both the business table and the reject table (if the district name does not exist in TB_DISTRICT) :
SQL> INSERT FIRST
2    WHEN master_district_name IS NOT NULL
3      THEN INTO business_table (state, district_name, humidity)
4                VALUES (state, district_name, humidity)
5    ELSE INTO reject_table (state, district_name, humidity, error_message)
6              VALUES (state, district_name, humidity, 'Invalid district name')
7 WITH xml_data AS (
8    SELECT *
9    FROM XMLTable(
10      XMLNamespaces(default 'http://www.test.com/integration/feed'),
11      '/DLList/Weather'
12      passing xmltype(bfilename('TEST_DIR','test.xml'), nls_charset_id('CHAR_CS'))
13      columns
14        state         varchar2(30) path 'StateName'
15      , district_name varchar2(30) path 'ForecastName'
16      , humidity      number       path 'Humidity'
17    )
18 )
19 SELECT x.*
20       , t.district_name as master_district_name
21 FROM xml_data x
22       LEFT OUTER JOIN tb_district t ON t.district_name = x.district_name
23 ;
3 rows inserted
SQL> select * from business_table;
STATE                          DISTRICT_NAME                    HUMIDITY
Karnataka                      Dharwad                              70.1
SQL> select * from reject_table;
STATE                          DISTRICT_NAME                    HUMIDITY ERROR_MESSAGE
Karnataka                      Bagalkote                            89.9 Invalid district name

Step backward hotkey not working while using brush tool? - Photoshop CC 2014

Hi,
I'm using Photoshop CC 2014 in Mavericks. I've tried using the step backward hotkey (command+option+z) and it seems to work fine. Then I use the brush tool and it stops working until I switch to another tool. I'm a digital artist, so I move very quickly while painting, and switching out of the brush tool to step backward on something slows me down terribly. I'll switch and the hotkey works as intended. I've tried changing it to a different set of keys (for example command+z) with the same results. Is this a bug or a feature?

Usually it turns out for tablets that aren't mainstream that they just haven't updated their drivers to work with photoshop cc.
For example, most people don't have problems with wacom tablets in photoshop cc.
One other thing that could possibly be the cause besides the tablet driver is your graphics card driver.
If in photoshop cc you go to Edit>Preferences>Performance and turn off Use Graphics Processor and then restart photoshop cc, does that make a difference?
If it does then perhaps your graphics card driver needs to be updated from the maker of the card.

How can i change the color of pen tool in photoshop cs6?

I want to change the color vector of pen tool in photoshop cs6?

Just to make sure we're communicating properly...
Is it that while creating a path you want the thin lines, handles, etc. to be a different color?
Or is it that after you create your path you want to stroke it with a color? It IS possible to stroke a path, and even to have an automatic Layer Stroke on a path that's any size/color shape you want. Example:

Help with removing text from background

Hi,
I'm pretty new to this, but I'm trying to figure out how to remove text from a background. My problem is that when I use tools to grab the text, it only selects part of it because the pixels of the text are actually different colors as it blends in with the backgorund. Does anyone have a quick idea how to do this?
Thanks

Does anyone know how to remove vocals from an import from I tunes...a polyphonic stereo mix ?
If you are talking about some "Karaoke" method using Logic I'll try to offer one. Before that I must say that most of the Karaoke methods are based on reversing the Phase of one of the stereo channel and bussing or merging the stereo into Mono. The result is: killing all Pan Centered in the mix - like Main Vocal, Bass, Kick, SN ect.
The artifacts of the Stereo FX of the main vocal will stay in the Karaoke, cause the FX is stereo etc.
Here is the Logic Setup I can offer to try some Karaoke trick using Logic.
1. Import a Stereo mix into a Logic Stereo track.
2. Create another stereo track and duplicate (copy) the Original Mix region to the duplicated track.
3. Hard Pan L/R both stereo tracks.
4. Insert an EQ and Gainer plugins into the duplicated track (R).
5. Set the Output select of the both tracks to a Bus and assign the new Aux Track Switch mode to "Mono".
6. Open the Gainer plugin and thick the "Phase Invert" Right button.
7. To keep the "lowend" instruments like the bass and kick, open the EQ plugin and enable the Low Cut filter and try some Hz settings 80-115, or different Q which will sounds better for your Karaoke.
P.S Click the image below to show its real resolution!

How to remove Unicode from XML file

I get following error when unmarshal xml:

Anyone know how to remove Unicode from xml file? Can I remove the unicode by rebuild the file?
Thanks

These sort of error usually occur when you're using a different character encoding to read the file than the one you wrote it with. Perhaps if you were to post the problem section of the file and/or the code that created it in the first place.

How to remove text from .swf animation?

how to remove text from .swf animation? Can no find this text
in fla file. Flash 8.

exactly what 'text' are you referring to? text that you typed
on the Stage using the 'textTool'? simply select the text with the
'arrowTool' and hit delete.
If you are referring to a textField that you want to
eliminate after a certain amount of time, within your animation
sequence. first copy the text, create a new layer, paste the text
in place, then where you want to have the text 'disappear' insert a
'blank keyframe' at that point in the text layer.
OR place the textfield within a MC and remove it with code.
OR if the text is dynamic and you wish to use the position at a
later time, pass a value of null or and empty string to the field
at the point you wish. And there are other ways still. :) hope one
of these works for you.
