I have a question about free hand crop on PhotoshopCC

I have a pic that I want to take a specific shape from, but the colors are numerous and complex so the magic wand wont work. Is there a way to free hand crop or select only the odd shape with a drawing option?????? I want to snip just the loader machine from this pic and insert it in a collage. Can someone suggest a method for this? I am using Photoshop CC.
thanks, betdy1345

Hold down the mouse button over the magic wand tool in the tool bar for a few seconds, a small popup will appear, select the quick selection tool. You can use this to drag over the UTV, then move the UTV to a new layer (ctrl-shift-j {windows} command-shift-j {Mac})
Instead of moving to a new layer, you could also convert the selection to a mask. Click the icon in the layers panel that looks like a circle inside of a square. Also, if the layer the image is on is a background layer, you need to click on the padlock on that layer to convert it it to a normal layer, that is required to make the mask work.
The reason for the mask, is it will make it easier to change the shape of the mask if it needs adjusting ex. you can still see part of the house.
The mask is also non-destructive, meaning you can remove it any time you want at a later date. Whereas the cut to layer is destructive, meaning once it is done and you do not have a backup, there is no going back once the file is closed.

    Hi I have a question about shooting in Raw with my Canon EOS 6d.
    I'm in the process of learning photography and my goal was to start shooting in raw.
    I have Photoshop CS5. When I tried to edit my images in raw I received an error message stating, "The photoshop camera raw plug-in did not recognize the format. If these files are from a camera, you may need to update your camera raw plug in."
    In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6. My version of CS5 is 6.0.0.205. Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
    I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost. THANKS in advance!

    In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6.
    That is correct. Your camera was first supported by Camera Raw 7.3. Camera Raw 7.3 will not work with CS5. You need CS6 or CC.
    Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
    I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost.
    It all depends on your preferred workflow and your budget.
    Using the DNG converter is free. There is no monthly fee. You use the converter to convert all Raw files from the EOS 6D to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5. That's an extra step every time - every photo. Some people don't like the extra step. Others don't mind.
    Camera raw, DNG | Adobe Photoshop CC
    Or you can upgrade to CS6 (non-Cloud) and pay the upgrade fee
    Creative Suite 6
    Or join the Cloud and pay the monthly fee
    Or join the Photoshop Photography Program (US9.99/month) and get PS CC+LR

    No reason to be embarassed. You are not alone.
    You will need an external drive. If you have a Time Machine drive without enough disk space you can create the clone there however it's advised that you keep your Time Machine and clone on separate drives. If the drive dies you loose both types of backup.
    Download and install the clone software. Everyone has their favorite. These are the two most common applications used. I prefer SuperDuper because of it's simplicity in setting up. It's also free for the first clone where with CCC you have to give a Credit Card then cancel if you do not want to keep.
    SuperDuper! http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
    CCC http://www.bombich.com/download.html
    Select your drive in the To popup. Click on Copy Now. That's it.
    Yes, it really is that simple....

        Thanks! I am very vexation,online waiting!

    Dear Mr. XU,
    this is a community driven forum, meaning most answers are given by community members volunteering and contributing free time. If you'd like to express your vexation, you might better use the SAP based support channels such as OSS.
    Community members are in general not motivated to answer questions that are posted in such a mood.
    As I'm an SAP employee myself, I have to apologize that I cannot answer this question due to a lack of understanding it and again have to ask you to check with OSS.
    With kind regards,

    No, you can't change the default naming scheme. You can do it yourself if you extract the pages using a script instead of using the built-in command.

    Not as such.

    Make sure that your bean is implementing the serializable interface and that
    you are accessing the bean from the session with the same name.

    I don't use that app. I just go to the web based site. You can share videos from the site, but not from the app, as far as I have been able to do. Try the web based version and see if you get the same error. Go through Safari is what I mean.
