How does one erase something from a picture???? Something as basic as this should be easily explained but it is not in Photoshop.
Duplicate the background layer
Work on the backgrouind copy layer, and shut off the visibility of the background layer by clicking on its eye icon in the layers palette.
Use one of the selection tools (e.g. selection brush, lasso tool) to select the object that you wish to remove. Once the selection is complete, you will  see "marching ants" surrounding the selection. Hit delete on the keyboard.
Now fill the hole with whatever you want.
#2 How do you change the color of a sky to make it blue rather than white???
You can use the Smart brush tool, the one with the gears, for this purpose.
There are other ways as well. Please review this comprehensive thread that pertains to this issue, esp. the referenced Alibony technique:

  • Using ps trying to remove an object from a picture, following steps but when object is removed area is replaced by another portion of the photo like someones face as opposed to what should normally be in the background

    using PS on a regular computer windows 7 tryng to remove an object from a picture,  following steps in the tutorial however when the object is removed it is replaced by another (unwanted) portion of the photo i.e. someones face  instead of what would have normally been in the background

    Well, we can't know. You have not told us what tools you use and what steps nor provided any screenshots. From your description it simply sounds like you are following some tutorial (which again we know nothing about because you haven't told us which one) and getting things wrong. You need to do much better if you want people to help you.

  • How do you remove an object from a picture.  Newbie to program CS6

    how do you remove an object from a picture.  Newbie to program CS6

    Well, generally you can use the clone-stamp tool for one, shortcut is S. It basically allows you to take data from any part of the image and copy that over. What I do is draw on a new layer above the one to modify- make sure you select Sample:"This layer and below" in the top toolbar when doing so. Other ways include blending something on top of the object too, using different blending modes. Painting over it works too at times (rarely). It'd be easier if we knew a specific case though...

  • Extracting object from a picture and erase the background

    Whats the best tool or way to extract an object, or person from a picture and earse the backgroung. Then puting it into illustrator? How do i save it to where theirs no background and only the picture that i selected?

    There is no "best tool". It depends entirely on the image and the talent of the person using the tool (or more likely technique).
    But you may wish to spend some time studying the Pen tool.
    Also, knowing your version of Photoshop would also help those who wish to help you.
    You topic title would also make a great Google search. :)

  • Questions about using Lightroom to import my pictures..

    Hi.
    My main use for Lightroom is picture import, as it does a superb job on arranging my pictures at import time, but I have a few questions that maybe you guys can answer.
    First and foremost, my camera has that orientation data, but somehow the image file that ends up on my hard drive is always vertical (i.e. 3264x2448) even though there are pictures that are shot horizontal (i.e. 2448x3264). Is Lightroom capable of importing the pictures already rotated, or is there a setting that allows that? (Note that the pictures INSIDE Lightroom are shown rotated, but I'm talking about the JPG file stored in my hard drive)
    Second, how can I set up Windows Vista to display Lightroom as an option to import pictures when I insert my card or connect my camera?
    Thanks..

    Let me see if I understand your rotation issue. It seems that you shoot jpeg (using which camera?) and that the images show correctly rotated in Lightroom but not in another (unspecified) application.
    Does the software that came with the camera show the jpeg properly rotated? (I'm certain that it does.) What software doesn't show proper rotation? Windows Explorer? You would not want Lightroom to physically rotate the image on disk since that would violate it's non-destructive editing rule.
    Lightroom has a preference setting that allows the import dialog to be shown when a memory card is detected. Avoid importing directly from the camera and use a card reader.

  • Question about Custom Shape Files from newbie to PS

    My husband bought me PS CS4 Extended. That said, I have never used PS at all. I have always used PSP. Please don't hate me!
    I have figured out that one loads actions and presets. OK, got that. The question I have is if I can have my Custom Shapes and Actions on a completely different partition? I ask this because there is not enough room on the partition for me to continue adding shapes and such to PS in the program itself. I am figuring that I can since I have tio load them into the program anyway, but am asking to be sure so that I don't screw anything up.
    Another question I have is if I am able to point PS to where all of my plugins are that I already have installed in PSP, which also happen to be on a different partition. In PSP all one has to do is to point the program to where they are and all is good and they can be used within said program. Does PS allow for this also? If not, do I have to re-install all of the plugins into the PS program itself? I just don't have that much room on the partition that my PS resides on because of all of the other pregrams that I have. Also, does everything I load into PS just stay loaded or do I have to reload each time I want to use that particular preset?
    I do hope that ya'll can understand my questions and thank you for any help in advance.

    the benefit of having the presets in the proper folders is that you can select them from the fly-out menus instead of having to search for them using the Load command so yes, you can have them wherever you want. I doubt though that you don't have enough disk space for them, for instance, all the actions that come with Photoshop take up about 200kb, the custom shapes are about 700kb but that's because they come in duplicates. And yes, all that you load up stays in Photoshop until you remove them, no need to reload them at program start. For plug-ins you have the option to set an additional plug-in folder by going to Edit->Preferences->Plug-ins, don't know about needing to install them though as i don't use any

  • A question about the create object command

    Hi, I met some problems when created type and view:
    In sqlplus,
    1) I first create a address_ty:
    create or replace type address_ty as object
    (street varchar2(50),
    city varchar2(25),
    state char(2),
    zip number);
    type created
    2) Then I created a person_ty;
    create type person_ty as object
    (name varchar2(25),
    address address_ty);
    type created
    3) create the table customer;
    create or replace table customer
    (customer_id number,
    person person_ty);
    table created
    4) create the view based on the customer table;
    create view customer_0v(customer_id, person) as
    select customer_id,
    person_ty(name,
    address_ty(street,city,state,zip))
    from customer;
    ***There is a error message :
    error at line 4: address_ty(street,city,state,zip))
    invalid column name.
    I think it should work but ...
    5) Another question is could I insert into table customer values like this:
    insert into customer values
    (123,'SIGMUND','47 HAFFNER RD','LEWISTON','NJ',22222);
    It does not work in my pc and give a erro message like ' too many valuesj'.
    But some of books said it works.
    Thanks for any help !
    echo
    null

    Why does not the Object itself implement the interface
    CloneableBecause then every object would be cloneable.

  • Naive question about erasing everything with reinstall.

    Due to keychain problems with which the Apple techs were unfamiliar, they suggested that I back up what I need, and then erase everything before reinstalling. So, my naive question is: How do I get back all of the software with which my iBook came preloaded? (If it matters, my install disc is 10.4.3; I'm updated to 10.4.8)
    iBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   G4

    Along with that question, does that mean that all of my iTunes that I purchased and filed away will be lost as well on a clean re-install? I did backup my tunes after every monthly purchase. However, I am concerned about them and the school work and Adobe software I put on there-! I have all teh Adobe discs, but will there be a complication when doing this? I had to do this because the iBook just froze on the apple icon and nothing more after having probs with it for weeks, namely, the "permissions" issue; it thought that I was and was not the Admin-! It finally crashed on my after a Restart...
    Frustrating and sad...

  • Basic question about accessing card reader from browser

    Hi,
    I am very new to card technology. I have a very basic and general question not directly related to java cards.
    I need to write a web application that allows the user to read a card with a card reader.
    For that I maybe need to write an applet that has to access a native DLL and call methods
    to get the card ID. I already have that DLL (written in Delphi) that reads multi-technology cards.
    Then pass that ID to the application server to retrieve complete information
    about the card holder and display them on the user browser.
    Please could someone guide me on useful resources for that kind of development, for example
    already existing developments, personal experience, design solutions ?
    Thanks.
    Adriano

    Hi Joseph,
    One thing I forgot to tell is that I work with contactless cards and readers.
    Contactless cards use radio frequency. Despite this fact, the problem stays the same. I already have a Delphi DLL that reads contactless cards.
    What I need is a way to retrieve card holder information from a client browser. The card contains a unique ID. My idea is to use an applet that reads that ID on the client-side and then calls a servlet on the server-side to retrieve holder information associated with that ID, i.e. first and last names, and finally displays them on the client browser.
    So the card contains only the unique ID, a database on the server-side contains all other related data.
    Technically the applet has to call the DLL via JNI.
    Do you think that using an applet that way is a good solution, do you see simpler solutions, is there security issues ?
    Thanks.

  • Question about calling a procedure from a URL

    Hi
    In an Apex 3.0 application (which is not public) I use a procedure call in a URL to download the person's photo, if any. The call looks like this:
    {img src=#OWNER#.download_photo?p_id=&P10_ID.}
    This works fine. However, I found out that I can run that procedure just typing that URL in a web browser, without the need to be logged in to any application!
    This seems to me like a flaw in my procedure and I think I am missing something. In a way it makes sense, as there is not any reference in the URL to the application.
    How can I make this procedure to run only if I am logged in the application it is supposed to be run from?
    Thanks
    Luis

    Luis,
    There is a section (Security Issues to Consider) in the file upload/download how-to that describes how to handle this. Also, Anton Nielsen describes a technique linked to from Re: About file .

  • Question about creating JPEG still from movie clip?

    The aperture help says that a frame will be copied as part of a stack .. But I do not see this to be the case. When I make a frame from a movie, I don't see ANYTHING different in the browser window. Please help!

    Yes, you can do that, but it's a little difficult to advise
    you the best way with the information provided:
    Can you clarify:
    Do you want to play the main clip while the thumbs continue
    to load... or do you want to preload the thumbs, then play the main
    clip, then do the tweening when the main timeline reaches the end?
    This way is easy enough.
    If you want them to continue to load and then do the tweening
    at the end of the main timeline (e..g with a stop() on the last
    frame) then its also not complicated, but you need to cover the
    situation where the loading of the thumbs may not yet have
    completed by that time (perhaps the risk is low if the timeline is
    long, but its a sensible thing to address regardless).
    Also consider whether you want anything to be hidden (i.e.
    _visible=false) at any point - e.g. before the thumbs have finished
    loading.
    As a starting point I suggest you would probably put the code
    after
    removeMovieClip("thumbLoading");
    and before the last curly bracket (" } ") in a separate
    function on the main timeline, e.g.
    function tweenThumbs(){
    //code here
    (its actually not easy to be sure, because I can't visualize
    what exactly it does)
    what you would do next depends on the answers to the above
    questions.

  • Question about creating new objects

    When creating a DocumentBuilderFactory Object, why is the code written like this:
    DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();as opposed to
    DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = new DocumentBuilderFactory();???

    Factory classes like this are typically abstract classes which do little more than define an interface and the getInstance() methods. The class that getInstance() will actually instanciate will be a concrete implementation from a particular implementation of the DOM parser. This pattern allows whatever implementation happens to have been supplied to be automatically be used without your code having to concern itself.
    The concrete factory will then create concrete implementations of the various interfaces like DOMPaser, using the implementations in the actual library.

  • Question About Ship-To-Party from SAP ECC.

    Hello,
    In SAP ECC I have 2 Account Groups:
    1. For Customers
    2. For Ship-To-Party.
    My Question is: When I download the Customers from ECC to CRM I specify in PIDE both Account Groups. Is the relationship created during the download or it must be created manually?
    Best Regards,
    Jose M.

    Hi Jose M,
    The BP relationship will be created automatically during the BP download based. However, if you have to extend the relationship, you can do it manually in CRM.

  • Question about to recover data from windows essential 2012 (with raid0 or 1)with third party software !

    hi,
    I like to know if it is possible to install data recovery software on a extern harddisk ,and run it from there , just run  the  third party software in the memory of windows essential 2012 to recover data from its  harddisk  which has

    if it is possible to install third party softare on extern harddisk or on usb stick on run it from there which steps I have to take ,or if there is some article about  it on windows website.
    how to install third party softwares on extern harddisk or usb stick on run it from there.

    Hi johan,
    Based on your description, I understand that you want to know how install a third-party software on an external
    harddisk or usb and then run this software from there. Regarding this issue, I suggest that you should contact with the third-party software support and confirm it. Since most programs use windows registry entries, and may rely on some .dll files. If all relevant
    auxiliary files and configurations of this software were installed in one directory tree, you may be able to install and run it on an external harddisk or usb.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu
