Removal of shadow in an image

I am taking images of coins for my project.
I am in need of removing shadows in the image.
Please guide me a proper way to do it...

If you want to see the front of the coin, a ring light is probably your best bet.  If shape is all that matters, a back light would work well, but it is more difficult because you need a way to support the coin without blocking the light.
I accept the same. Try to play around with this light. Also consider the Dome Light (Indirct Lighting) incase if you want to get the coins printed features.

  • Remove shadow on cropping image

    Hi All,
    Can any one help me how to remove shadow on croping image(image from photoshop) in adobe premiere after rendering video?

    Hi Guys,
    Please see the difreent between this two images, im not sure why theres a black border or shadow. If you guys now how to fix this that will be good on my video.

  • Does anybody know the terminal instruction to remove the shadow from screen grab images

    Does anybody know the terminal instruction to remove the shadow from screen grab images?
    I saw it somewhere on some site ages ago
    (I like to align images together and take another screen grab without the darn shadow and without opening another app)

    I found this:
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true && killall SystemUIServer
    but this soesn't seem to work
    and this
    To get rid of the shadow and only capture the window, enter this line of code in Terminal:
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true
    Then to implement the change, enter:
    killall SystemUIServer
    To revert the modification and restore shadows, enter:
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool false
    doesn't work either in Mountain Lion

  • How to remove a shadow from a photo in iPhoto

    How do I remove a shadow from part of a photo using the editing tools in iPhoto?

    In a word, you don't. That's a compositing job and you need a photo editor for that:
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • I cannot remove embedded barcode from the image. Due to saving compression.

    Hi guys,
    I recreate a thread to prevent confusing on my previous one. Please only reply to this thread thanks.
    Ok, for a start I will give some general description about the application I made.
    I had some problem with the image being compressed while it is saved.
    Because saving an image will cause it to compress and had its pixel valued changed, I could not successfully remove the bardcode that is embedded inside a image(although some of the pixel value will be returned to original normally). I had placed my code below and will accept any opinion that will help me solve the removal of barcode problem.
    What my application does is actually very simple. It will take the pixel value of the area inside the image that will be embed with the barcode first, then it will take the pixel value of the barcode and use the formula (1-alpha * Image pixel value) + (alpha * barcode pixel value) = new pixel value which will contain the barcode that had been embedded inside. The formula works great but when I saved the image the pixel value will change due to compression. On the removal of barcode my application will read every pixel value from the image embedded with barcode (only the area with barcode embedded), then it will go on to read every pixel value of the barcode used for embedding and then use the formula (Embedded image pixel value - (alpha * Barcode pixel value) - (1 - alpha) = original pixel value. But due to the reason that compression will change some of the pixel inside the saved image to drop in its value, the result from the removal formula will be negative and hence caused my result image to become wierd as it will red colors instead of original color on some of its pixel. I tried saving under PNG format which people said to be lossless compression but the result is still the same.
    So I need to ask you guys for opinion or help me find the part where I actually did wrongly and caused the image pixel value to change.
    Thanks. Please proceed and read below for the codes that I used. It is messy and I will sort it out later.
    When alpha is set as 1 the barcode will appear to be overwrite onto the image. But when alpha is set as 0.1 the barcode will appear to be transparent and almost seems to be not there on the image when embedded.
    This is the code I used to retrieve image pixel when embedding:
    public static int[] getImagePixelValue(BufferedImage image, int x, int y){
              //Create an array to store image RGB value
              int[] imageRGB = new int[3];
              //Get height and width from input image
              int imageWidth = image.getWidth();
              int imageHeight = image.getHeight();
              //Get raw RGB value from image
              int imageValue = image.getRGB(x, y);
              //Convert image raw RGB value
              int imageRed = ((image.getRGB(x, y) >> 16) & 0xff);
              int imageGreen = ((image.getRGB(x, y) >> 8) & 0xff);
              int imageBlue = image.getRGB(x, y) & 0xff;
              //Input the converted RGB value into the array
              imageRGB[0] = imageRed;
              imageRGB[1] = imageGreen;
              imageRGB[2] = imageBlue;
              /*//Print out the pixel value to check
              System.out.println("Image red pixel: "+imageRGB[0]);
              System.out.println("Image green pixel: "+imageRGB[1]);
              System.out.println("Image blue pixel: "+imageRGB[2]);*/
              //Return image RGB value
              return imageRGB;
    }This is the code I used to retrieve barcode pixel for embedding:
    public static int[] getWatermarkPixelValue(BufferedImage watermark, int x, int y){
              //Create an array to store watermark RGB value
              int[] watermarkRGB = new int[3];
              //Get height and width from input watermark
              int watermarkWidth = watermark.getWidth();
              int watermarkHeight = watermark.getHeight();
              int watermarkValue = watermark.getRGB(x, y);
              //Convert watermark raw RGB value
              int watermarkRed = ((watermark.getRGB(x, y) >> 16) & 0xff);
              int watermarkGreen = ((watermark.getRGB(x, y) >> 8) & 0xff);
              int watermarkBlue = watermark.getRGB(x, y) & 0xff;
              //Input the converted RGB value into the array
              watermarkRGB[0] = watermarkRed;
              watermarkRGB[1] = watermarkGreen;
              watermarkRGB[2] = watermarkBlue;
              /*//Print out the pixel value to check
              System.out.println("Watermark red pixel: "+watermarkRGB[0]);
              System.out.println("Watermark green pixel: "+watermarkRGB[1]);
              System.out.println("Watermark blue pixel: "+watermarkRGB[2]);*/
              //Return watermark RGB value
              return watermarkRGB;
         }This is the code I used for merging the image pixel and barcode pixel to get the embedded pixel value:
    public static int[] getEmbeddedPixelValue(int[] imagePixelValue, int[] watermarkPixelValue, double alpha){
              //Create a object to hold embedded pixel value
              int[] embeddedRGBValue = new int[3];
              //Change image pixel value into double calculating equation
              double imgRedValue = (double) imagePixelValue[0];
              double imgGreenValue = (double) imagePixelValue[1];
              double imgBlueValue = (double) imagePixelValue[2];
              //Change watermark pixel value into double calculating equation
              double wmRedValue = (double) watermarkPixelValue[0];
              double wmGreenValue = (double) watermarkPixelValue[1];
              double wmBlueValue = (double) watermarkPixelValue[2];
              //Equation for embedding image and watermark together
              double embeddedRed = ((1.0 - alpha) * imgRedValue) + (alpha * wmRedValue);
              double embeddedGreen = ((1.0 - alpha) * imgGreenValue) + (alpha * wmGreenValue);
              double embeddedBlue = ((1.0 - alpha) * imgBlueValue) + (alpha * wmBlueValue);
              //Changing embedded value from double to int
              int embeddedRedValue = (int) embeddedRed;
              int embeddedGreenValue = (int) embeddedGreen;
              int embeddedBlueValue = (int) embeddedBlue;
              //input the embedded RGB value into the array
              embeddedRGBValue[0] = embeddedRedValue;
              embeddedRGBValue[1] = embeddedGreenValue;
              embeddedRGBValue[2] = embeddedBlueValue;

    Follow this link to have a look of the result I see in my application when I got the barcode embedded into the image I selected:
    [http://img356.imageshack.us/my.php?image=beforeremovalresultmg2.jpg]
    Follow this link to have a look of the result I see in my application after I got the barcode removed:
    [http://img523.imageshack.us/my.php?image=removalresultmx4.jpg]
    As you can see from the link, after I remove the barcode from the image. Some of the pixel actually went back to normal in the barcode area when the the barcode is embedded into the image. But some pixel in the barcode area had its value changed due to compression when I save the image file I think.
    Anyone can help me find out the problem?
    Thanks.

    I suspect the problem lies in the code when I save the image. Because people said that PNG was loseless compression but when I saved in PNG some of the pixel went back to normal while some did not. This is obviously the cause from changing of pixel value when I saved the image.You are almost certainly wrong. This is trivially easy to check. Print out the color of a certain pixel immediately before you save it. Open the saved PNG in your favorite image manipulation program and check the saved value of that same pixel. When you re-load the saved PNG, print out the color again. It should be unchanged.
    Thanks you for trying to help me spot the problem but the formula is correct. The alpha value i used in my application is used to set the transparency of the barcode that will be embedded in the image. Hence, when alpha = 1 the new pixel value should be the barcode value. ^^The formula isn't wrong, it's just not doing what you think it's doing. Remember that you're working with ints here, not floating point numbers, so they have finite precision. When you case from double to int, fractions are dropped. As morgalr pointed out, your formula is:
    (1-alpha * Image pixel value) + (alpha * barcode pixel value) = new pixel value You didn't show us the code for getOriginalImagePixelValue but I imagine it's:
    original pixel value = (new pixel value - alpha * barcode pixel value) / (1 - alpha)On a piece of paper, take alpha = 0.9, image pixel = 17 and barcode pixel = 100. Calculate out what you should get for new pixel value and then calculate what you should get for original pixel value. You will find they don't match.

    If you want to get rid of dotted lines, they are almost certainly caused by the outline property.

  • Remove color profile from an image

    How to remove color profile from an image is it possible through any script?
    Manual Try - Don't Color Manage this Document: option is used to instruct Photoshop to remove an existing embedded profile but when I save the file, close and open it I still see a color profile in the embedded image.

    On the mac you could have sips do this (it may depend on the file type). You would loose the files creator if Photoshop was its last editor though.

  • Removing date stamps placed on images by camera

    When taking some photos with a Nikon digital camera, the button that places a date stamp on the image as the picture is taken was inadvertantly on.
    Now I am trying to remove this data from the image and am wondering if anyone knows a fast way of doing this.
    I can tediously remove the pixels involved but then can't seem to fill in the gaps with something else. The usual replace color capabilities don't seem to work either.
    What am I missing?
    Thank you.

    You can use the Date Removal Tool - no, I am only kidding here.
    Unfortunately, you have created an image with the date/time as part of your image. There is nothing "below" this. The best that you can do is try and recreate the area of the image that WOULD be below that part of the image.
    As has been stated, the Clone Stamp Tool, and also the Healing Brush/Patch Tool will go a very long way. If one uses these at a high magnification, it does require some hand-work, and a good eye, but can be done.
    For what it is worth, the video folk are broken into two camps. Half want to "remove" this, and half wants to "add" this, regardless of which camera they used. If only they could get together, and all would be happy.
    Hints: look closely, so slowly and small, and be patient with your efforts.
    Good luck,

  • Help!Can't figure out how to copy and paste a drop shadow behind an image in photoshop

    I use illustrator most of the time. I'm designing a brochure and I've always embedded images, but now I'm trying to it correctly by linking them instead. So I have an image in ps as a tiff. I created a drop shadow for the image in illustrator. I want to copy and paste it behind the image into the same file so both are one file linked to the brochure. Also the drop shadow pastes as too small, then i also can't get it positioned right etc. Please explain how to do this step by step. I've been trying for hours to figure it out. thanks!

        What happened is this: my client emailed me the image as a jpg. I downloaded it, then right clicked "open with" - photoshop. It opened in photoshop. Then I saved it as a tif. (maybe i didn't need to do this). Then still in psd i went to image size - and made the image 6x4 inches (the image is supposed to be printed 3x2 inches on the brochure) . Then I made it 300 dpi resolution and kept the resampling box checked. Then I went to layer styles; drop shadow; and used the drop shadow  menu to get it the size and placement and opacity i desired .It's just a  plain rectangular drop shadow which is a little offset behind the plain  rectangular photo. I did check the box where the image would drop out  the drop shadow (or whatever it said:). The drop shadow is on the same layer as the image. Then behind all of it is a larger rectangle of the grey and white boxes, which show thru thru the drop shadow in psd. I'm assuming this is simply the artboard. Then i named it and saved it into a "links" folder which i plan to include in the folder containing the illy brochure file.
        Since the psd image is 6x4 inches, will it reset to 3x2 when printed to match the placed image size? Or should I size the psd image exactly like the illy placed image? Is the drop shadow in this case a blend like you were describing earlier?
        Did i do anything wrong in the process which will make the brochure print incorrectly, or am i being too confusing for you to know ? ))
        I'm so nervous about how it all translates from one to the other. Thanks in advance!

  • Removing Color Cast with TIFF images?  (PSE 8)

    Hello,
    Hoping someone can help.  I'm trying to "remove color cast" with TIFF images and I'm not seeing the option as available.  It works fine when I try to use it with JPEG images.
    To be clear....I'm using PSE 8...after opening a picture (of course), on the top menu "Enhance", then "Adjust Color".  When I'm working with a TIFF image the option "Remove Color Cast" is not available/active.  It works fine with JPEG images.
    What am I missing?

  • Remove banding from scanned magazine images

    Hi there,
    I would not normally come and bother people on here but despite repeated efforts to find an answer for myself, I haven't been able to.
    I would like to know if there is an action or a plugin (either free or purchase) that can remove color banding from magazine images that have been scanned. Unfprtunately, it's not my scanner so I can't simply replace it - which would be the easiest option.
    here is an example of the problem:

    Any advice or links would be greatly appreciated,
    Jason

    TSN,
    The image has been taken down.  I guess the OP reacted to my comments about copyright issues.
    What follows is an academic type of description of the problem(s), as I doubt we'll hear from the OP again.
    There was quite a bit of moiré, more clearly visible on the face of the model, but that was not the OP's main problem at all.
    There were some broad diagonal stripes, in the opposite direction of the moiré on the face, as if painted with an unsteady hand using a custom brush of some kind.
    The image below shows a couple of crops, intentionally exaggerating the strips for easy illustration of the problem.

  • Is there a way in PP CS4 to remove the center of the image?

    Is there a way in PP CS4 to remove the center of the image?
    I've tried using crop and linear wipe effects but both of these effects take way from the outside of the image moving in. I'm trying to find a way to take away from inside of the image and move out. Basically making a window, if you will, to view the video layer underneath.
    Thanks for your help!

    Crop wasn't such a bad idea.
    Drop to be revealed clip in V1.
    Drop clip for the curtain effect in V2 and add crop.
    Set first keyframe at say 1 second for LEFT 50%, second keyframe at say 2 seconds to 100%
    Add the clip for the curtain effect again but on V3 (superimposded).
    Add crop.
    Now animate RIGHT: 1 second 50% at 2 seconds 100%.
    Done

  • Removing a shadow

    How would I go about removing a shadow from a video of some people skiing. I am willing to rotoscope it but how would I do it in Shake.

    there is more than one way to do it - and it all depends on what the shot is -
    if it is locked off on a tripod - if not you will have to matchmove/sabilize/track
    if the shadow is cast over people or objects. - that would probably involve painting out.
    do you have a similar piece of footage you could use to replace the areas with shadow? - you could simply exchange the whole foreground.
    Is it a big shadow? - if it is small you may be able to paint it out but if it spans a great area you wouldnt want to do that.
    rotoscoping would isolate the shadoe but you will still need something to fill this roto with.

    Thank you for your help.
