Moving foreground objects separated from background ones in still photos?

I want to take some photos into PS and extract the foreground objects onto new layers so I can bring them into PP and animate the foreground objects (scale/pan).
1. What is this technique called?
2. Anyone know any good tutorials on this?
Thanks.

Hi SW Form,
Point your favorite search engine to the following phrase, "the kid stays in the picture effect." That should work for you. BTW, much better to do this work in After Effects so that you can simulate the 3D space.
Thanks,
Kevin

  • How do it change the color of the background in a still photo in a imovie picture slide show

    how do it change the color of the background in a still photo in a imovie picture slide show

    LOL - I had the same problem.  Hidden in plain sight!  All I saw was Numeric, and thought "Duh! Of course it's numeric - it's a slider!"
    I do think NI could do a much better job on this, perhaps with more informative labelling.  Slider Scaling or Scale Format might be better.  Also, since one can select the Digital Display by itself on the front panel, one should be taken directly to the digital display formatting when Properties is selected, instead of still having to change the dropdown. By selecting the digital display instaead of the slider, you're implying that you want to change its format only.

  • Is it possible to export/import schedule+objects separately from the background?

    Hi all,
    I work on a tutorial for software that is being developped. the functionalities are definitely ok but the design is being modified.
    I would like to prepare the tutorial with the temporary design and definitive schedule and objects (buttons, texts...), and as a final step modify the design only. Is it possible?
    Thanks in advance for reply.

    Hello,
    One tip: you can have as many master slides as you want, and even apply a master slide to a group. So in your case you could have the background for the normal calculator and for the scientific calculator on two different master slides. But all need to have the same resolution (width/height in pixel) if you want them in the same file.
    But: you can duplicate slides, only every object will have a new ID on the duplicate.
    Perhaps I understand wrong. If you have two files: copy the first file to a file with another name and change the master slide. Are you starting with images, not with a capture? Then even easier: import the images to the Library. Copy them to all the slides?
    The Filmstrip itself is not very interactive, you cannot do a lot in it. But a duplicate file should have exactly the same branchings.
    Wondering if you use advanced actions? Can  you confirm that?
    FYI: once I blogged about the simulation of a keypad:
    Create a keypad simulation
    BTW: you can print the branching panel, did you ever consider that? It has a lot more information than the simple Filmstrip

  • How do I avoid the white line that forms around objects I've separated from a background?

    This is a cropped corner of an illustration I removed from its opaque background and placed on a transparent background.  The north and west borders show the whilte line that forms whenever I place objects on a transparent background.  The south and east borders are the cropped edges -- they are clean and make the trasition from object to background color without that white line.  With some objects, it's possible to use the Plygonal Lasso Tool, for instance, and trim that object away from the background.  With portraits or irregularly shaped objects, though, it's necessary to use the Magic Wand or other means to trim the background away from the object, which results in that unwanted white line.  I've read for hours online about this problem and have found no true resolution: Defringing, Removing White Matte, Anti-aliasing, trying to predict what color you'll lay the silhouette on and working in that color, and on and on.  It seems as though Photoshop would be relied upon heavily by professionals who need to place objects on top of one another without intrusion.  Does anyone have a method that really works?

    Hi!  If the solutions you mentioned aren't working for your project, it might be worth learning a little bit about Layer Masks.  This is a page that explains how Layer Masks work. http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/masking-layers.html 
    A Layer Mask is a black-and-white image that corresponds to your source image applied in such a way that white areas display and black areas don't.  So for your project, you would want to use Photoshop to turn your scanned illustration into a black-and-white image where the area you want to keep is white, and the area you don't want to keep is black.  Here is a demo using your uploaded image:
    1. Open your image in Photoshop.  Right-click on your source layer in the Layers Palette and select Duplicate Layer. 
    2. With the upper layer selected, use Image -> Adjustments -> Desaturate to turn the layer black-and-white. 
    3. Use Image -> Adjustments -> Invert to reverse the black and white.  Now the white background should be black. 
    4. With the upper layer selected, use Image -> Adjustments -> Levels.  Move the black, white, and gray arrows such that there is a hard black-and-white contrastwhere you want the white background to be removed. 
    5. You may have to use the lasso tool or the brush tool to complete the silhouette of the image against the white background. 
    6. With the upper, black-and-white layer selected, Edit -> Select All and Copy.  Turn the layer visibility off so that you are again looking at the original image. 
    7. With the lower layer selected, click the Layer Mask icon.  Alt-click on the Layer Mask to edit the Mask directly. 
    8. Edit -> Paste to apply the black-and-white image you created as a Layer Mask.  If you then click the layer icon again, you should be looking at your correctly cropped image!
    Hope this helps. 

  • Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black  I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent

    Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black  I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent backgrounds. Any thoughts?

    Yes. Well, sort of: instead of a "path", set the pen tool to "shape" in the tool properties. Then set the fill colour to transparent, and the stroke colour to the colour you want. You can also set the stroke width.
    Not perfect, but at least you can see the path more clearly - the anchor points and handles still remain the default colour. Open the path panel, and right-mouse click the path shape to create a selection based on that shape. The Paths panel menu also allows you to create work paths based on that shape.
    Unfortunately when you try to move the handles the black thin outline appears again until you release the mouse button.
    This is one of several things that works better in Photoline: in Photoline, once the path is set to a specific colour, editing the path uses the actual colour and stroke width. which is extremely handy for creating path based selection with awkward background colours and/or a high resolution screen. In Photoline the handles and bezier points are also much, much larger, which makes it rather simpler to work with as well - especially on a higher resolution screen. And when selected the handles and points are a clear red with a black outline - again easier to spot and identify. I just works better, in my opinion.

  • Moving an object from $tmp

    Hi Experts,
    Suppose i saved an object by mistake in $tmp. How to move this object to quality.
    plz give solution for this

    Hi Lokesh,
    Well everybody said the right thing i.e. if you want to transport any object from $tmp,you have to go to se38 and than-
    1.Click on Goto->Object Directory Entry.
    2.Click on change i.e. pencil icon and then,
    3.Give your package name in the package option.
    4.After that you are provided one transport request by the system.
    5.Click on continue.
    Through this way you can make the object transportable.
    But may be sometimes you want one object only local i.e. not to transport($tmp),and mistakenly you make that object transportable.So in order to make it again local,you have to do following things:
    1.Go to se09 or se10.
    2.Display all the transport request made by you.
    3.Now find your transport request in all these.
    4.After that you find your program name in them.
    5.Now delete that program.
    6.After that you go to se38 and do the same procedure as do in your solution i.e. moving a object from $tmp.
    7.Give your package name here as $tmp.
    Through this way you can again make a object local.
    If you don't follow the steps 1-5 than you are not able to make a object loacl again,because the object is locked by the transport request.
    Regards.

  • Copy object from one authorization object classe to another one

    Hello experts,
    due our revision we have the demand to copy our custom context sensitve authorization object from the old authorization class to a new one.
    Ist this generally possible? What are the impacts?
    Any ideas?
    Many Thanks!
    Marco

    > due our revision we have the demand to copy our custom context sensitve authorization object from the old authorization class to a new one.
    That is a strange revision (audit) demand... Did you challenge them whether they have ever done this before and survived as release upgrade?
    Is SAP_ALL otherwise okay for them? For example that people can write their own programs or maintain PRGN_CUST to include Z-classes again...
    Have you tried to simply remove all profile assignments to SAP_ALL and replace them with proper roles and restrict SAP*'s HR profiles to that which applies to all users which are not employees?
    You are definately barking up the wrong tree here by moving SAP objects to Z object classes and expecting it to be secure...
    Cheers,

  • I moved my iPhoto libraries from one hard drive to another and have to manually locate the photos, every time!!!

    I moved my iPhoto libraries from one hard drive to another and now every time I open a library I have to manually locate the photos. After locating the first file, it works well and remembers the location of the files of all the events, even when the folders containing the actual photos are in several different locations.
    The problem is that when I close and open iPhoto, it does not remember where the files were and I have to locate at least a file, all over again.
    Does anyone knows if there is a way of making iPhoto "remember" or saving the location of the files?

    By default, iPhoto will store its library file under ~/Pictures. To select a library manually in iPhoto:
    Ensure that iPhoto is closed.
    Hold down the Option key and click on the iPhoto icon in your Dock or launch it from the Applications folder.
    Click on Choose Library.
    Locate and select the library you wish to use.
    Close iPhoto and re-open it. Does it remember the library that you selected?
    For more information on moving your iPhoto library, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229.
    Hope that helps, have a great day.

  • Checks to be done before moving the objects from DEvV to PROD systems

    Hi,
         Please provide the standard methods and checks to be done in the transport requests before moving the objects from DEv to PROD.
    Please help us here.

    In se10 find your request and
    Upper left corner - Request\task -> Complete check -> Object (syntax check) and Check Request Consistency.
    This you can do for your request and all the tasks included in your request.
    Note: Transport may still fail due to numerous reason (i.e) not all the objects needed are collected in the request,
    but at atleast it gives some assurance that objects are not blocked in other requests etc...

  • Moving Domain for iWeb from one computer to another

    Have moved my website domain from Library in one computer running Leopard into Library in another computer running Lion.
    Deleted default Domain in new Library, but when I open iWeb app the empty default Domain opens with nothing in it and returns back to Library folder in new Library. Even when I open Domain with my site directly from Library iWeb opens as a new app without my site. Everytime I delete the default Domain
    it returns.
    How do I get the computer to recognise my site Domain in Library of computer running Lion? And to not keep recreating default empty Domain?
    I have done this transfer before between 2 computers running Leopard and it works every time.
    Help! Please.....
    Gareth

    As previously noted I got my Domain across to new computer running Lion and everything runs just fine
    Editing my site hasn't altered except that now after pressing 'Publish', the edited site won't open and I am taken to the site of my Australian Server 'Big Pond' with a message saying that my site doesn't exist.
    When I navigate to my site my edits have worked and the page opens normally.
    My site publishing settings are:
    'Publish to Mobile Me'
    Site name - gareth-sansom.com
    The site though opens at http://web.me.com/gsansom/ (where it used to automatically open in after pressing Publish)
    I have tried changing site name to that in 'Publish to Mobile Me' but then nothing works including publishing.
    If I leave Publish to Mobile me as 'gareth-sansom.com' the publishing works, but I can't open my site after the publishing without navigating to it.
    Am I missing something here?

    First thing is to install Service Pack 6 which you can get from the download page by clicking on BusinessObjests tab above and then downloads on the left...
    When you close your viewer be sure to add/have Youreportobject.close and Youreportobject.Dispose. Adding a GC.Collect may help also.

    I have moved my iTunes library from an old PC to my new one running on Windows 8.  All play normally apart from two albums:  Songwriter by Justin Hayward and The Roaring Silence by Manfred Man''s Earth Band.  The FAQ suggestions don't resolve the problem.

    Honestly, all the people in all the world that look at this forum, no-one can tell me why my itunes is causing my machine to fall over?
    I wiped the machine and started again. Fresh XP install, fresh iTune download, fired it up imported one album and bang. Over it went. I've PC Checked the hard ware, mad onioned the system to see if it's a resource thing but it's rock solid until i open iTunes. Then after every re-boot, the message is back in the event log.
    This:
    Source iPod Service Event ID 0
    The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( iPod Service ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Service started.
    Can someone at least reply to let me know I've not typed this in dutch!! :o)

  • BCM 2007 error: "To help prevent malicious code from running, one or more objects"

    Recently we changed our e-mail accounts around to a new domain name. After this switch, BCM no longer allows adding, editing or any other manipulation of contact records. I get an error message saying "To help prevent malicious code from running, one
    or more objects in this form were not loaded."
    I have tried clearing the forms cache, uninstalling and reinstalling BCM and even adding the old e-mail address back into the Outlook profile and nothing works.
    Is there something I have missed somewhere or am I looking at a complete reinstall of Outlook and BCM?
    Jon

    Hi Jon
    Thank you for the update.  It could be another Active X Component - BCM 2007 calls several of them
    On thing you could do is run a Process Monitor Log to see if perhaps another component is Blocked. To do that try the following:
    1. Close Outlook and as many other programs as possible
    2. Download and Extract Process Monitor from here -
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
    3. Start Process Monitor
    4. Start Outlook
    5. Reproduce the error in BCM
    6. Stop Process Monitor by going to the File menu and unchecking "Capture Events"
    At this point you can try filtering by clicking the Filter Icon (the Funnel) on the menu bar.  Click on the Left Drop down at the top of the Dialog and Select "Path"
    For the second dropdown select "Contacts" and then filter on "ActiveX Compatibility" (without the quotes)
    in my lab, every GUID under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility came up with a result of "Name Not Found"
    On your system, are there any are present (the Result Column will show "Success")?
    If so, then I would check the Compatibility Flag for that one (Hint - if you right-click on an Entry you can select "Jump To" to open Regedit to that location)
    - or -
    If you would like for me to take a look at it, in Process Monitor Go to the File > Save Menu and save it as a .PML file. Then send it to me at cts-larrymei at live.com
    Note - Please ZIP the file prior to sending it
    Thanks!
