Is there a way to remove spots on the skin?

Hello everyone,
I am currently editing a video with a person being interviewed who has not particularly clear skin. Is there any way to remove spots in Premiere Elements 10? Step-by-step instructions would be great.
Help very much appreciated.
Many thanks!

I would use Track Matte Keying on the person's face, and do a slight Blur, to smooth out the skin.
There used to be a great tutorial, on doing just that, but Curt Wrigley closed down his Web site, where his tutorial was hosted - very sad day.
I did a written tutorial, on using Track Matte Keying to "Highlight a Moving Subject," and with a bit of interpolation, you can use that. All of the general steps are in it, but in that tutorial, I used a hard-edged "circle" to do the highlight. In the case of a person, you would use a Track Matte with soft edges, sized to about the person's face. Here is that written tutorial: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1765005
Good luck, and hope that helps - too bad that Curt's tutorial is no more. I would have hosted all of those, had he only asked.

  • Is there a way to remove or disable the "Clear List" button from the downloads list?

    Is there a way to remove or disable the "Clear List" button in the downloads list? I like to _keep_ my list populated with what I've downloaded but occasionally end up with it getting clicked on accident and lose the whole thing. Given that "Tools > Clear Recent History" dialog can accomplish the same thing I find Clear List to be irritating. So can I get rid of it in any way?

    Hello Chris.
    # go into ''Help > Troubleshooting Information...''
    # click ''Open Containing Folder''
    # in the folder that appears (new windo in windows explorer), go into the folder ''chrome''
    # open the file ''userChrome.css'' with a text editor
    # at the end of the file, in a new line, add the following code:
    <code>
    button#clearListButton
    </code>
    I haven't tested this, but it should work flawlessly. You can always erase this line if you want the button back. This will only work on your Firefox profile. If you want these changes to span across all Firefox users on your computer, please tell me.

  • Is there any way to remove "sudo" from the server?

    sudo can do a lot of things which root can do. I tried the following to remove, but got failed message. Is there any graceful way?
    Or, maybe I don't have to remove it, by default, nobody can use sudo to run root only commands, unless I give them priviledge to do so by using "visudo", right?
    Please advice, Thanks!
    Edited by: 943714 on Aug 27, 2012 11:59 AM

    The idea of the sudo command is to give a user root access without the need to tell them the root password. When the user is not already root the sudo command will ask the user for the current user account password. This is to prevent that someone uses the sudo command in case your session gets hijacked. There is usually a default timeout. As long as you enter another sudo command within 5 minutes of the last sudo command, you won't have to enter your password.
    The visudo command is typcially used to edit the /etc/sudoers file, which defines which users or groups are allowed to use the sudo command and to which commands or group of commands it applies. For instance if you make an entry in the /etc/sudoers file to allow a certain user to use all commands, then the user can enter "sudo su -" to become root without having to know the root password.

  • Is there a way to remove the autoformatting of the "Places" slideshow theme?

    The Places slideshow theme in Aperture is a great one for what I want to do; however, it automatically formats the slides where it will place two or three images per slide.  I'd like to have only one image per slide.  Is there a way to remove or adjust the autoformatting of this theme to have only one image per slide?  If not, do you know of a way to add a map to any of the other slideshow themes?  Thanks for the help!

  • I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?

    I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?
    Let me explain a little more. I had downloaded a lot of free books in the past as a trial when iBooks was first released and since then I have decided I no longer want them, because of this I hid them from the purchased section of the iBooks store. The 5 books left are ones I decided to keep as seen in the following picture.
    This is how it appears in iBooks on my mac. There are 4 books downloaded and 1 book that I have decided not to download at this time. I would still like to keep this book available in the cloud incase I want to download it again in the future. You’ll notice that hide iCloud books is not selected, if I wanted to hide the book that I have chosen to keep in the cloud, but have not downloaded yet I could.
    This is exactly how I think this feature should work. If you have hidden a book from your purchases it should not show up in the mac Ibooks app. (I am aware you can never actually delete a purchase, just hide them and that hidden purchases can be restored to your account from within the account management section of the iBooks store).
    The iOS app is working differently for me. Here is a picture of the purchased tab on the iBooks store in iOS Ibooks. Again notice that pictures of Lilly is still yet to be downloaded. This is how I expected it to look.
    If we visit the front page of iOS iBooks the view is very different from what I expected. Here we can see the 4 books I wanted to keep on my device and have downloaded. We can also see the 1 book I wanted to keep, but did not want to store locally on the device and left in iCloud (Pictures of Lilly). However we can also see all the books I had hidden from the purchased section of my iTunes account and which I believe should no-longer be visible, Dracula, frankenstein etc…
    I am aware of the hide iCloud books button within the iOS app, but I did not need to use this to hide the books I had removed from the my purchased section of the iBooks store on the mac, why are they still appearing in iOS?
    I’m still not sure if this is a software glitch or not. This article suggests to me that books can be hidden, but I had already completed these steps.
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201322
    A browse of google also suggests people may have been able to hide past purchases from the front page of iBooks on iOS in the past.
    In case there was an issue with syncing I tried logging in and out of my iTunes account via settings in iOS. Force closing the app, disabling automatic downloads and removing my device from iTunes in the cloud. Syncing with iTunes on the mac did not correct the issue either.
    Interestingly I have the same issue on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 as I do on my iPad mini suggesting that this might be an issue either with my account or with iOS iBooks software in general.
    If there is a way to remove the already hidden iBooks in your account from the front page of iBooks on iOS without using the hide iCloud downloads button? Please help community!

  • HELP! Is there any way to remove the remnant of an old Word file  from OS 9.2.2?

    I know this sounds bizarre, but I've spent the last 6 hours trying to remove a non-existant file from the iBook I bought in 2002. I have already tried Microsoft Support, but am stuck because I can't remember the details of the info I used the one and only time I created an account with them in order to ask a single question several year ago, and am unable to provide them with a new email address that's acceptable to them for a single-time  contact.
    Besides, since the problem is on a Mac iBook, I'm hoping  I'll have more success in this community.
    Although I bought the iBook 12 years ago, I did so on a whim, and never really used it for the purpose I envisioned, which included working on a couple of projects while I was away from home. In anticipation of those projects I loaded copies of the software I typically used onto the iBook . . . including Office 2001, which I apparently used to create several personal documents, which I saved on the same device.
    Three or four years later, when my desktop Power Mac G4 was showing signs of trouble, I saved the most important documents  to the iBook for safekeeping . . . and a few years later, did the same when the tray on the optical drive failed and I decided it was more cost-effective to replace than repair it.
    Since then, the iBook has been in clear sight of my desk, but buried under piles of papers, until I rediscovered it last week . . . and since it's still in perfect condition, decided to look for a buyer. So far the few documents I created on the iBook plus the several hundred I had stored there have all been removed — except for the remnants of the half dozen files I created in Word.
    I thought I was rid of them, but since they still show up in a list of documents when I open Word, my guess is there  must  be a "graveyard" somewhere on my iBook where the bones of dead files reside for eternity (or until the iBook itself is trashed).
    There is no sign of them (or anything else) in the trash can  . . . and when I click on their names, an error message informs me that it can't find the files, but I'm welcome to search for them myself.
    I'm hoping someone in this forum can tell me where to look. . . . Since I'm pretty sure that even though all the other files have been deleted,  there must be a directory of some  sort still holding all or part of those  documents, as well, I'm also wondering if there is some way to perform a clean sweep of all the created files, without removing the core software and third party apps — before I send the iBook onto a new owner.
    The active  operating system on the iBook is 9.2.2 — although I think it also came with an early version of OS 10 pre-loaded.
    The Word software came with Office 2001, but I think it is version 5.1.
    If there's a solution, I hope it's relatively easy, because the thought of  writing scripts  scares me.

    Not sure what's happening with this thread, but in the last 15 minutes, Safari closed down twice — for reasons  apparently indirectly related to our discussion, but also  to a couple of sentences borrowed from  a Word document I had just written and was attempting to paste into this response
    To pick up from yesterday . . . Thanks again for your suggestions. After lunch, I did follow the first one, but unfortunately, it didn't work. But since I've always hated conceding to defeat without a decent fight (especially when it comes to a Mac)  — I spent the next 5-6 hours trying to understand why I couldn't open those  documents!!  I never did find the answer, but think I at least found a work-around.
    Just to clarify, when I looked at the list at the bottom of the File menu again, I realized there were nine of them (not just the 5-6 I had mentioned. From their titles, I also realized I had just seen them recently, while combing thru and culling  the several hundred  files I had saved to desktop Macs during those previously  mentioned crises . . . And since  the iBook couldn't find them on its drive . . . . thinking the docs might be missing critical information, I started by transferring  them back on a thumb drive.
    Like magic, I suddenly could read them, but still was unable to delete from from the iBook . . . until thru a series of quirky and convoluted maneuvers, I managed to  delete all the content from each document and save them with their original names . . . copied the empty documents from my thumb drive to my iBook . . . re-opened them to confirm that they could now see the original (but now empty files)  . . .  saved and renamed them Document 1-9  in that order.. . . put copies of each into a new folder for safekeeping on both  the iMaBool desktop and  thumb drive . . . trashed the folder on the iBook desktop (knowing I still had backups on the thumb drive)  . . .and Eureka! Documents  1-9 are still on the File Menu, but when opened, they all are now blank.
    As for re-installing  the original operating system, while I agree it's a good idea, it's been years since I last did a clean install, and can't remember  if OS 9.2 allowed selective reinstalls. So rather than run the risk of removing  ALL the third party software currently on the iBook, since my plan all along was to give the next owner all 5 MS Office disks (original install, 3 reinstall disks and separate hardware diagnostic disk), I think I'll leave that option to him/her.
    Can't say it was fun, but ultimately the time spent  probably was worthwhile, if only  because it provided a valuable learning opportunity.
    Thanks again for your suggestions and  attention. (How could I give up after you took the time to offer them?)

  • I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)

    I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)
    Let me explain:
    In the clock app for ios 6.0.2 I am a little confused. It allows you to go into your music library, and create a ringtone using any songs you choose. However, I cannot find a way to remove a song from this list, just like I cannot delete one of the preset ringtones (which I'm not trying to do, but just as an example)
    Thanks for your time! If you need more information just ask.
    (I believe both my iPod and iTunes are up to date)

    I believe you just are able to delete them from iTunes.
    Hope it will be helpful

    Hi Fiona,
    Okay, the 4th parameter is the issue.
    There are four options:
    0 = OK (will not have an 'x')
    1 = OK, Cancel (will have an 'x')
    2 = Yes, No (will not have an 'x')
    3 = Yes, No, Cancel (will have an 'x')
    Where you do not include a cancel button (0 or 2) then there wont be an 'x':
    However where you do include a cancel button (1 or 3) then there will be an 'x':
    There wont be a workaround here (afaik), as the messagebox is driven by the OS, eg is automatically appears different on a Mac verses a Windows machine.
    Good luck,
    Niall

  • Is there a way to remove the GNome border for Firefox in Fedora 20 (gnome desktop)

    Hi I have Fedora 20 with Gnome 3 desktop. The Firefox 31.0 has a bar above the tabs where it displays a bar and it shows the page title. Is there any way to remove it as it uses some space and I hate it. Is there any way to hide it or remove it.
    I have added screenshots just for reference: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jayabharat/15136543446/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/jayabharat/15159579845/

    Well, that works in my Windows, but not in Gnome 3. So In order to remove the title bar, I had to use Add-ons.
    HTitle 2.13 did wonders.
    Hide Caption Titlebar Plus 2.8.6 is also a good option.

  • Is there a way to remove "Applet running..." when launching Applet in JWS?

    Is there any way to remove the "Applet running..." message at the bottom of the applet when launch in JWS? I have searched in the forum and bug database and cannot find a reference in how to remove it.
    I remember in the old applet days (JDK 1.1, 1.2?), everybody are mad at the yellow warning message when launching a new frame from an applet window. It is hard to believe this issue reappears in JDK 1.4.
    FYI, all the jar files are signed. And I am using JDK 1.4.1.
    Thanks,
    Nelson Fong

    Dietz,
    Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, our application requested all-permission in the jnlp file, and all jar files are signed as well.
    In fact, the warning is more like a status bar. The message was changed from "Initializing Applet..." to "Applet running...." during init() method.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

  • Is there a way to remove a painting on a wall in a shot?

    a couple walk by a wall with a painting hanging behind them. is there a way to remove it? like copy a blank space and paste it on the painting? something like that possible? do i have to go frame by frame? its like 15 total seconds...

    I agree.
    Blurring the area sounds more viable.
    Perhaps our friend might go to Andy Mees' site and download his FREE key frame-able "Andy's Region Blur":
