In a photo looking at stairs, there is an object you can see behind them when looking through. Can PS6 remove that item?

Hi there! I have a photo looking down a stairwell, but there was something on the wall going down that now shows up behind but in between the actual stairs. Is there a way to remove that distraction? I've tried to do the content aware marquee job, but there are a lot of shades of wood, and the item is a kind of iron vine candelabra so it veers off into many directions. Will I just have to scrap this photo all together?
Thanks!
Chandra.

You may want to familiarise yourself with the Pen Tool and Paths in general with the Help:
Photoshop Help | Drawing with the Pen tools
I assume video tutorials are available, too, at youtube and adobe.com
Pen Tool | Understanding Adobe Photoshop CS6 | Adobe TV
Using Paths as vector Masks on Layers or Groups is easy – with the Path and the Layer selected use Layer > Vector Mask > Current Path.

  • Is there a way for my daughter or her friends to block their numbers from showing up on activities page. At first i could see them, as of yesterday i can no longer see the numbers in the activities page. But i do see that she has texted them when looking

    Is there a way for my daughter or her friends to block their numbers from showing up on activities page. At first i could see them, as of yesterday i can no longer see the numbers in the activities page. But i do see that she has texted them when looking at her phone.

    First of all, there is no need to put the entire text of your post into the title of your thread.
    Next, does your daughter have an iPhone? Do her friends have iPhones? If the answer to both questions is "yes", then it is possible she is not texting them, but using iMessage to communicate with them. iMessages will not show up in the texting traffic on a line as they are not texts, but messages sent thru Apple's servers.
    For all "texts" to show up in the texting activity of an iPhone, you must disable iMessage on the device. Any messages sent as iMessages(blue bubbles around the text) on an iPhone will not show up in any texting activity.

  • Even though I entered a credit card. Will it not charge anything if I only install the free apps? Is there like a monthly charge or just a charge when I want to buy apps that cost actual money?

    Thanks for taking the time to try to help me. . I checked and the Do not disturb is off. The check is still there stopping calls from coming in when phone is locked. Any other ideas? Thanks again!

    Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
    If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
    Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
    You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • Having trouble seeing all pix, when looking for something on ebay.

    When looking for an item on ebay, some of the pictures are blank. 
    when I open an item with a blank pix, the picture is there.

    What model laptop do you have?
    Have you tried using a different USB port?
    If you have a USB flash drive or external hard drive, does that work when connected to the same port?

  • Photos in album are only a hash-marked outline the image only shows when scrolling how can I see the image and open the photo?

    Photos in iPhoto album are only a hash-marked outline the image only shows when scrolling how can I see the image and open the photo?

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • My photos are  showing on my Apple TV and I don't want them to.  How can I get them off Apple TV and make sure this does not happen again?

    My photos are  showing on my Apple TV (I assume through the iCloud) and I don't want them to.  How can I get them off Apple TV and make sure this does not happen again?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Settings > iCloud > iCloud photo settings, then turn off photostream and photo sharing.

  • Upgraded to 8.0.2 on 5. Lost all photos in camera roll and photo stream.  I used a recovery tool that shows the photos are still in there 'somewhere' but they want $70 to recover them.  Any free methods? I shouldn't have to pay for Apple's screw up!

    Also, I did a backup on iTunes before the upgrade but after the upgrade completed, it performed a backup that overwrote the last one I did.  At least I think it did, there is only one backup showing up in the MobileSync-Backup folder on my computer.  Also, in iTunes on the bottom of the screen, the bar that shows how much storage space is being used by what, its number of pics is several hundred more than the number of pics on my phone.  The ones it didn't erase were in a different album that I had uploaded from my computer (ironic that the pics that I didn't lose in the upgrade, I already have copies of on my computer). Anyhow, I used a trial version of recovery program called Wondershare Dr.Fone for ios, and while I'm definately not here to promote them, after it did the scan on my iphone, it showed thumbnails of all the missing photos, along with everything else I'd ever done on my phone lol. So I do know they are in there, I just can't afford to pay $70 to retrieve them, nor do I think I should have to as the upgrade caused them to be missing!  Does anyone know of a free recovery tool? I never used iCloud, so that is not an option either.

  • I duplicated a picture and now iPhoto (11) is cloning that picture replacing all the other photos and only when I click directly on them I can see the real picture! How can I solve the problem without losing any saved picture? Shall I re-install? Thanx

    I duplicated a picture selecting CMD and D but, suddenly, iPhoto (latest version '11) started cloning that picture and replacing all the other photos with it.
    Only when I click directly on one photo I can open it and see the real picture it is.
    But the preview is always the duplicated one...
    I tryed to duplicate another picture just to see if it turned out ok but the only changement was the duplicated picture!
    I started repeating the second duplicated one instead of the previous one but my issue remained the same.
    So, how can you help me to solve this problem without losing any saved picture?
    Shall I re-install iPhoto completely?
    Thank you very very much in advance!!

    As Larry says, restoring the back up is the fastest and best solution. Otherwise:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Is there any way to download the Photoshop Elements 10 tutorials to my laptop so I can work from them when I don't have access to a Wi-Fi connection?

    Hello, I finally have time to learn how to use my Photoshop Elements 10 program.  However, I want to be able to use it while we travel and I seldom have access to a Wi-Fi connection.  I was wondering if there's any way to download the Adobe website's tutorials to my laptop so I'm not dependent on that Wi-Fi connection?
    Thanks so much!

    Yes. You can download the Firefox installer and copy the file to an USB stick or other medium and install Firefox from that drive.
    You can find all Firefox versions here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html

  • My iTunes got deleted off my computer before I had updated my iPhone!! When I downloaded it again all my app purchases and songs were gone!!! Is there anyway apple can help get them back and who can I contact???

    My iTunes got deleted off my computer before I had updated my iPhone. When I reinstalled it everything was gone! I lost all my itune purchased apps and songs!! Is there anyway apple can help me get them back??? And who can I contact?? Please help I really need my music back!!

    It has always beenv ery basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If you have failed to backup, then you can redownload some content.  Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links

  • HI, I have a Canon Pixma MG5250 printer and it doesn't seem to recognize iPhoto. All my photos are in iPhoto but I can't access them when the printer's 'photo print' box comes up.  Any suggestions? thanks

    Hi,
    I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.8
    I now have a Canon Pixma Printer MG 5250 and it doesn't seem to recognize iPhoto, where all my folders of photos are in the computer.
    All other aspects of the printer such as scanning and printing documents are working.  When I open the printer's
    'photo print' box on my Mac, it cannot access iPhoto. 
    I would really appreciate any feedback and suggestions as to what to do.
    thanks.

    If you want to print a photo that's in your library you should do so from iPhoto.  Select the photo, crop to the size you want to print and type Command+P to start the print process.  In the Print window select the paper size and print size, printer and then click on the Print button.

  • I've upgraded my 4th gen ipod to ios6.  I manually manage videos and music.  My video playlists(which I can access via the music icon) are there but my videos aren't.  I can see the videos when tapping the videos icon so I know they are there. Any ideas?

    I've upgraded my 4th gen ipod to ios6.  I manually manage videos and music as it is easier to access my videos through playlists which I access through the music icon.  Since upgrading to ios6 the playlists are there but when I go into them the individual videos aren't visible.  I know they are there because I can access them through the videos icon.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

    Does it still turn on to the Apple logo?
    If it does, turn it on and hold it up to your ear. If it's making a clicking sound, try hitting it easy a few times on the side. The idea is the hdd is "stuck" and hitting it loosens it. Just don't do it too hard to break it.
