Need help placing people / objects into another photo ...realistically

Hi, I've been a Photoshop user for many years now and have adopted CS4 when it initially came available. My photoshop skills are to a good standard however one thing I always find difficult is taking a selection from one photo (usually a person / object) and placing it into another photo.
I am able to correct the size and scale and maintain the aspect ratio but I never seem to be able to make the photo look convincing, I know this is a basic part of Photoshop, but I was wondering if any of you could offer some tips or advice on how to make the person / object more realistic and hopefully so that clients won't be able to spot it was missing in the first place.
Thanks in advance

The Daily show is a satirical show in the US with John Stewart. As a kind of running joke on "Photoshopped", they often badly photoshop things together, cut and paste style.
Whether things will ever look correct, is to do with LIGHT. The light on your background has to be the same as the light on your foreground subjects. Color can be easily tweaked and matched but light cannot. Photographers with the right expertise (thinner on the ground than you might think) can look at the light in a destination image, and try and match in the studio, but this is a highly skilled area. I once had a professional job where someone had taken David Beckham to a studio - and they wanted the images realistically comped into beach scenes, with broad sunshine, resulting hard shadows, sunsets and horizons. Unfortunately the photographer was obviously more interested in having fun with a high profile client like Beckham for their book, than they were in lighting correcty for the intended destination images. Impossible without weeks of painting, and I told them. No point in wasting clients time on images like this.

How can I move part of one photo into another photo?

In older versions of Photoshop you could see two or more frames in the work area and cut an paste parts of one photo into another photo by using the "move" tool after the area to be moved was selected. I am having trouble discerning how to achieve this action in CC. Could someone in the forum with this experience give me some steps to take to complete this process? Thanks.

Thanks Trevor!

How do you superimpose someone into another photo quickly?

In the video of Photoshop Element 11, the man draws a green swiggly over his daughter on the beach and adds her into another photo a couple of times, so he ends up with her on the beach 3 times next to each other. I really want to know how to do that in a quicker way than with the lasso tool.

Did you bother to do a search?
Did you bother to read any of the material that the search would have linked you to?
If you had then you would be able to understand where you are going wrong and how to fix it yourself. Instead of being spoonfed by us.

I want to cut out a head from a photo and insert it into another photo again. In the head hair flying in the wind and the blue sky can be seen between the hairs. This blue sky I want to remove, so I can only use the head with hair flying in another photo.

This blue sky I want to remove, so I can only use the head with hair flying in another photo. Is it possible to simply delete this blue color of the sky?

Make your selection and then use Refine Edge.

Need help for finding objects impacted by size change for an infoobject

hi all,
need help for finding objects impacted by size change
for xxx infoobject, due to some requirements, the size to be changed from
char(4) to char(10), in the source database tables as well as adjustment
to be done in BI side.
this infoobject xxx is nav attribute of YYY as well as for WWW
infoobjects. and xxx is loaded from infopkg for www infoobject load.
now that i have to prepare an impact analysis doc for BI side.
pls help me with what all could be impacted and what to be done as a
solution to implement the size change.
FYI:
where used list for xxx infoobject - relveals these object types :
infocubes,
infosources,
tranfer rules,
DSO.
attribute of characteristic,
nav attribute,
ref infoobject,
in queries,
in variables

Hi Swetha,
You will have to manually make the table adjustments in all the systems using SE14 trans since the changes done using SE14 cannot be collected in any TR.
How to adjust tables :
Enter the table name in SE14. For ex for any Z master data(Say ZABCD), master data table name would be /BIC/PZABCD, text table would be /BIC/TZABCD. Similarly any DSO(say ZXYZ) table name would be /BIC/AZXYZ00 etc.
Just enter the table name in SE14 trans --> Edit --> Select the radio button "Save Data" --> Click on Activate & adjust database table.
NOTE : Be very careful in using SE14 trans since there is possibility that the backend table could be deleted.
How to collect the changes in TR:
You can collect only the changes made to the IO --> When you activate, it will ask you for the TR --> Enter the correct package name & create a new TR. If it doesn't prompt you for TR, just goto Extras --> Write transport request from the IO properties Menu screen. Once these IO changes are moved successfully, then the above proceduce can be followed using SE14 trans.
Hope it helps!

Need Your Help with Loading SWF into another Flash Movie!

Hello,
I have created TWO Flash movies. They work just fine
individually, but I get problem when I put one into another one!
The main Flash is a Menu and the second one if a Photo Album.
The Menu is series of animation (Moving Objects) which finally
comes into rest and create the menu. The photo album is another SWF
file which is called with in the first Flash Movie (The Menu). The
SWF file is loaded as follow into the Main Flash.
MovieClip.prototype.drawRect = function(x, y, w, h) {
this.beginFill(0xFF0000, 100);
this.moveTo(0, 0);
this.lineTo(0+w, 0);
this.lineTo(0+w, 0+h);
this.lineTo(0, 0+h);
this.lineTo(0, 0);
this.endFill();
this._x = x;
this._y = y;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc6", 6);
mc6.lineStyle (3, 0x000000, 100);
mc6.drawRect(-77, -17, 20, 20);
mc6._xscale = 100;
mc6._yscale = 100;
loadMovie("photoAlbum.swf", mc6);
Problem arises when I click on the Play Button of the
photoAlbum.swf (Photo Album) since the execution of the play button
causes the Flash starts once again from the beginning of the entire
Flash Movie (Beginning of the animation creating the menu) and it
simply jumps into the Firm One of my Flash Movie.
Could you tell me how I can isulate what is in layer 6 (Where
the photoAlbum is loaded to) from the rest of my Flash Movie?
I hope I managed to explain my problem. I would like to take
this opportunity to thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Babak

Hello Anya,
I have realized the problem arises from the Wait Function
which causes the Photo Album to pause for a period of time (Two
Seconds) once a Photo is fully displayed (I have Fade in/out Photo
Album). I realized everything works OK once I remove the function
and rather left the Photos to be flipped without any pausing (This
is an Auto-loading Album which simply Flips the photos!).
Here is the Wait Function which is causing all the trouble.
function wait()
stop();
var myInterval = setInterval(function ()
play();
clearInterval(myInterval);
}, 2000);
Thank you so much for your help.
Cheers,
Babak

I would like cut out an object using the quick select tool and drop the object into another picture. Can anyone help

I am using background pictures and want to cut out objects from other jpegs using the quick select tool and drop them into the background picture. So if i have a banana and select the object i need to copy the banana into the other background.
Hope this makes sense.
Gary

Select banana. Right click>layer via copy. Move tool. Click and drag to other file. Drop on image.
OR: load the background and banana in one stack (File>Scripts>Load File Into Stack). Select banana and layer via copy or create layer mask.

I need help dividing an image into two equal parts in Adobe Illustrator CC--ASAP!!!

I need help dividing a single, already created image into 2 equal parts...Am getting nowhere so far

Hi Willi, thanks so much for responding! Below is the image I need to divide in half. The left half where it says "Click here for the definition" links to a landing page where people can read the definition of the Hebrew Word. The right half links to an audio recording of the Hebrew word being spoken aloud. I am trying to figure out how to use the scissors or knife tool in Adobe Illustrator and am having no luck. Plus I believe there's a way to include URLs on each separated part, but I can't get past figuring out how to cut it. My background is not graphic design

Looking for a way to move entire pages from one photo book into another photo book.

I haven't found out how to move pages from one photo book into another. Surely this is possible?
Also on the subject of photo books: it seems that it is not possible to enlarge the size of a text box. Or has anyone found a way to accomodate more than 1 line of text on a photo book page?

You can look through some of the different Layouts available.
Select your page.
Click the "Layout" icon on the lower right hand of the application window.
Above it will appear a "BACKGROUND" section and a "LAYOUT" section.
Immediately below the "LAYOUT" is a drop down menu which will show you all the different options.

Need help uploading mp4 file into Muse

Help please!
I have a very nice quality, short animation I want to add to my Muse website's home page, but am stuck on putting the video file into the site. I have found that I need to change the mp4 into a swf (flash) file, but I couldn't get that to work either. (Flash gives me the error: "One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them." when trying to import the mp4 and mov file to convert to swf. I have tried HTML5 also, but can't seem to get the code right.
Can anyone help me get this video file into a Muse site? If that means I just copy a piece of code and put it into Muse that would be great. If it means I just have to drag and drop, that would be even better! (dreaming a little bit!)
Thank you!

Any help given will be GREATLY appreciated.

Hi,
Here are modifications to your vi to do what you are describing. It helps, when trying to work through issues like these on this forum to not start a new thread with each iteration of your question. Those of us that are trying to help can follow it better if you just "Reply" to your previous thread with the new, related question. If the question is for a totally new issue then a new thread is best, but when you are working through the details of essentially the same problem it really helps us follow it if you stay in one thread, and that usually means faster answers.
We also like it if, when an answer helps, you give us a rating (the more stars the better) as it is about all we get out of it!

Need help filling this object please!!!

I need to fill shape 1 with a solid color. Shape 2 is what the object looks like when selected. Shape 3 is what happens when I try to fill it with color. I need it to stay within the boundaries shown on shape 1. Please help, I'm relatively new to Illustrator and cannot seem to find out what it is that is happening. I'm working in Illustrator CC.

jbizzle,
However I needed to redraw the object, and instead of lines I had to use rounded rectangles to create it.
Can you reuse the outer shape that looks like part of an ellipse?
If you can, you can start by recreating the top one as follows (Smart Guides are your friends):
1) Select and copy the upper/outer elliptic shape to the front (Ctrl+C+F), then lock the original full shape;
2) With the Line Segment Tool ClickDrag between the end Anchor Points of 1) (Smart Guides say anchor when you are there), then drag over the H value in the Transform palette and Ctrl+C to copy it;
3) Click with the Ellipse Tool on the Artboard and insert the value divided by 2 for W and H, then cut it at the top and bottom Anchor Point, then delete the right half;
4) Move the half circle on top of the lower left half circle shape as closely as possible, then select both the half circle and the outer ellipse, click the outer ellipse again and in the Align palette click Vertical Align Bottom;
4) Create a copy of the half circle and move it up by its height, then ShiftDrag it to fit the upper right half circle shape as closely as possible;
Now you should have the curved parts in place, and you only need the straight parts;
5) With the Direct Selection Tool Click each pair of Anchor Points to be connected by straight segments and Ctrl+J to join them;
Now you should have one clean path to fill. After that, you can rotate and move a copy.
