Need  help finding tutorials for segmenting and contouring

I'm completely knew to photoshop and other image editting software so I'm rather lost at the moment. Would someone please direct me to a tutoral or tutorials detailing the proper method to contour or segment an image?
Thanks for the help.

Using the quick selection tool should give better results for selecting the hands
than the magic wand.
Using the hand at the top as an example:
1. Make a selection around the hand using the retangular marquee tool and then right
   click and choose new layer via copy.
2. Select the quick selection tool and click inside the hand as many times as it
    takes to select the hand (some of the things outside the hand might be selected also)
3. Press the alt key and click on the areas outside the hand to deselect them
    You will probably have to zoom in close to see what's really selected and alternate
    between adding to the selection and subtracting from the selection until it looks good.
4. Then select where it says Refine Edge in the tool options bar and adjust the selection
    till it looks good then click ok.
5. Go to the bottom of the layers panel and click the icon that says Add layer mask
   (having a layer mask will let you do any touch ups by painting on the layer mask
    with either a white brush to show more of the hand or a black brush to hide more
    of the hand)
6. Repeat the steps for the other hands in the picture.
Here's what your layers panel and selection of the hands should
look like. ( added the white color fill layer to better see how good the hands were selected)
I guess you'll have explain more about the contouring part.

  • Need help with BAPI_PR_CREATE for BOM and Service

    Hi all,
    My requirement is to do a mass conversion program for PR creation, so I'm planning to use either BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE or BAPI_PR_CREATE.
    The difficult part is that, I need to be able to change the compononent (BOM) for subcontracting and also be able to input service lines for service type PR.
    I know that for service I can use BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE, it has a specific structure for that, but does BAPI_PR_CREATE provide the same functionality as well?
    As for altering component (BOM) , I couldn't find any parameter in both function to do the work.
    Does anyone have this requirement before and can advice me about this. Thanks in advance.

    My problem is solved.
    I was be able to convince the user to use standard BOM insteand of customizing them in PR. As for service, I use BAPI PR_REQUISITION_CREATE

  • Need help with Italics for ePub and InDesign CS5

    Could someone help a me out. I just can not find the answer to this and I know it should be simple, I am just missing it.
    I am creating an ePub from CS5 InDesign. All I want to do is have the italics that are shown in the text box in InDesign, show up in the epub file.
    I would prefer not to say what I have done (I think I have tried everything, but obviously I did them all wrong, so no point listing them) and I am hoping someone can do a simple, step by step guide to how to have italics show up in the ePub file.
    Sorry if this question is beneath everyone, this is really annoying that I can not figure this out on my own.

    Yup, done this.
    In InDesign, the text is Italic. It has the Character Style Italic associated with it.
    But when I export to ePub, it is not italic.
    Here is the HTML from the xhtml file for a single line of what is supposed to be italic text,
    <p class="normal normal-override-2" xml:lang='en-us'><span class="italic italic-override">Words that should be Italic.</span></p>
    The above line does not show up as italic in any of the 3 readers I am using to test with.
    Now, in the css sheet, the span.italic-override does not have anything associated to font-style. If I manually add the font-style italic, then re-pack everything, it works.
    It just seems to me a bit absurd to have to export the epub, unpack it, open it in dreamweaver, add the font-style, and repack it just to have something as simple as italic work.
    So, I am missing something, I get that... I just can't figure out what!

    And I need recommendations for a bluetooth/wireless keyboard.  I am hoping to get something for less money than the ones on the apple site.
    Also, what is everyone's opinion on screen protectors for the iPad 2?  Are they necessary?  Is the screen scratch proof?

    And I need recommendations for a bluetooth/wireless keyboard.  I am hoping to get something for less money than the ones on the apple site.
    Just about any Bluetooth keyboard should work. I haven't seen many full-size keyboards that are significantly less expensive than Apple's, and buying Apple's would be less headache should you need support from Apple in getting it to work, so I'd suggest staying with Apple unless you have specific needs in a keyboard.
    what is everyone's opinion on screen protectors for the iPad 2?  Are they necessary?  Is the screen scratch proof?
    No screen is completely scratch-proof, but I've had two iPads since they were first released, using them extensively, and have never found any need for a screen protector beyond a normal case.

  • Need Help with logins for SQLPLUS and Database Control

    Hi,
    I am new to Oracle. I installed "Oracle 10g Standard Version" on Win XP Pro. I have two questions regarding logins:
    (1)     After installing the software I used “dbca” to create a General Purpose database. At the end of the database creation I clicked on the Password Management button and I entered the password for SYS, SYSTEM and SCOTT. Then at the DOS command prompt I typed “SQLPLUS” and I can login as SCOTT and system, but I cannot as login as sysdba or sysoper. I get invalid username/password; logon denied message.
    But I can type “SQLPLUS /NOLOG” and then issue command “connect /as sysdba” and connect successfully as sysdba. Any idea why I cannot login sysdba or sysoper?
    (2)     When I go to windows Start->All Programs->Oracle - OraDb10g_home1 and select “Database Control”. A browser windows open up Database Control page. I cannot start Listener nor Start up a Database Instance. No matter whether I try SYS, SYSDBA, SYSOPER or SCOTT I cannot login. Any idea what is going on here?
    At the SQLPLUS command prompt if I enter “select status from v$instance;” I get status as “OPEN”.
    I am lost in Oracle world as a typical newbie. Many thanks in advance for any advice or pointers.
    Thanks
    Joe

    (1) Yes I can login if I type "sqlplus / as sysdba". Does that mean "sysdba" doesn't have a password?
    (2) when I run "emctl status dbconsole", I get a message saying "Environment variable ORACLE_SID not defined. Please define it." Can someone tell me what should I do?
    Thanks
    Joe

  • I have looked through the video tutorials for CS6 and cant find any help for PHP using SQL.

    Where is a good place that I can go to learn more about using dreamweaver and different languages than html.  Is there a service that adobe offers that I could buy that would take me from rookie all the way to professional with a good easy to use structure such as adobe tv but more advanced and thorough?  I am trying to build a website with a log in page and registration.  I have the HTML part down well enough but need help writing the php scripts and using SQL to store the user info

    I'm moving this to the main Dreamweaver support forum.
    In answer to your question, you need to be aware that the PHP server behaviors in Dreamweaver CS6 use the original MySQL functions that are scheduled to be removed from a future version of PHP. The server behaviors have already been removed from Dreamweaver CC. If you are planning to create a site using PHP and MySQL, do not rely on Dreamweaver's server behaviors. You must use either MySQLi (MySQL Improved) or PDO (PHP Data Objects) instead.
    If you're looking for video tutorials, you might be interested in the courses I have created for lynda.com. As a beginner, a good place to start would be PHP for Web Designers or Introducing PHP (there are several sample videos that you can watch for free on my website). Both courses were recorded on Dreamweaver (PHP for Web Designers on Dreamweaver CS6, Introducing PHP on Dreamweaver CS5.5). PHP for Web Designers shows how to connect to MySQL with MySQLi. You need a subscription to lynda.com to watch the complete courses, but you can get a seven-day free trial by following the links on my website.
    If you don't want to commit to a subscription service, I have also written a book called PHP Solutions, which covers MySQLi and PDO in depth. It also shows how to build a login system. At the moment, the second edition is available, but a revised third edition is due to go on sale in December.
    There are also a lot of free resources on the web that you can find. The important thing to beware of is that a lot of old material relies on the original MySQL functions. Whichever resource you use, make sure it shows how to use MySQLi or PDO.
