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.

How do I remove drop shadows from the default text in the labels of a Numbers pie chart?

I set up a pie chart in Numbers and set labels for percentage. The default text has drop shadowss. They do print well at the scale needed for the page. I cannot find out how to remove these shadows for clearer printing. Can the shadows be removed?

Nevermind. Found the answer in nthe side bar under "Re:how can I print the figures (text) in a chart WITHOUT a cast shadow. I had the Font window set too narrow and it did not show the Text Shadow button in the tool bar. Unclicking that worked.

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.

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

Removing background shadow on transparent PNG image without losing shading on the object?

I have a pillow bevel applied to a paint splatter brush image, and I'm having trouble with the shadows. I want to save this splatter as a transparent PNG. The problem is that a drop shadow effect is showing up when I save it this way. I think it's a "shading" setting rather than a true drop shadow, as there is no drop shadow set in the layer styles. The shadow does not appear when a white background is applied. It only shows when the background is transparent. I've tried reducing the shading opacity in the bevel dialogue, and this does get rid of the drop shadow....the problem is that it also removes the shading from the paint splatter, making the image look flat instead of raised. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Good point Curt. First time poster, so I wasn't sure how to include images in my original post. Here they are:
Above is the image saved WITH transparency. Obviously the shadows all around the blue make this unusable.
Here is the exact same image...the only difference is that I saved it with a white background layer behind it in photoshop. As you can see, the shadow artifacts are gone, yet the splatter still maintains its correct shading to keep the raised effect.
Both of these images are saved as png. Any suggestions?

Removing font shadow on pie charts in Numbers '09

Help!! how do I remove the font shadow on my pie charts? It seems to be a standard feature but my reports are all blurred, how can I make the pie chart labels have a nice crisp font?
Thanks.

True Genius!
I'll tell my local Apple store how to do this next week! Couldn't find the controls you suggested on the text inspector until by chance I pulled it out to a bigger display window but now solved, superb!!
Thanks, big time.

Removal of shadow in an image

I am taking images of coins for my project.

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.

Cannot Remove Drop Shadows for Icon Labels on Windows 8.1 Desktop

I have a new Dell Laptop with Windows 8.1 and a touch screen. The Icon labels on the Desktop have black shadows on white text. I have searched for answers and have tried the following, none of which worked. Is there anything else I can try?
Removed the checkmark by "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop" under System Properties, Advanced, Performance Options, Visual Effects tab, clicked on Apply, rebooted. Verfied that the ListViewShadow DWORD value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
is set to 0 (zero).
Made sure that the "Show my desktop background on Start" on the Taskbar and Navigation properties Navigation tab is unchecked.

Hi,
Have you restarted the computer before checking the results?
Also, I suggest you configure this registry key since HKEY_CURRENT_USER is just a mapped one of current user:
HKU\S-1-5-21-************\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\ListviewShadow
Note: Find your user GUID under HKU.

Remove drop shadow from "window" screen shot

Is there some code I can input in the terminal window to remove the drop shadow from a screen picture of a window (⌘-Shift-4 + press the Space Bar)?
I know I can use ⌘-Shift-4 and use the cross hairs and that gives me a picture with a clean edge (no drop shadow), but I have dozens of screen pictures to take of a website in safari and I need every shot to be the same size; the (⌘-Shift-4 + press the Space Bar) mode guarantees every pic will be the same.

Download the free utility [TinkerTool|http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html], and click the General tab.
At least in my Snow Leopard system, there is a checkbox there for "Include shadow when capturing window." If you also see this, uncheck the box and then log out and log back in.

How do I remove a shadow in Illustrator CS4?

Hi,
I need to take a shadow off a vector graphic in Illustrator CS4, is there a way of doing this?
Many thanks,

First try this. Select the small circular art on the left side and delete it. If you cannot use the lasso tool to just select that then use the layers panel to select the art and the delete it.
Once deleted select your art and see if it reads in the Appearance panel as a group and if the groups has the effect applied to it.
if so delete the drop shadow effect.
If not open the layers and elect the layer the art is one go back the appearance panle to see if it now lists the layer as the top item and see if the effect is applied to the layer if so select it and then delete it.
if none of that works then use the direct select tool and select each elemental path, one at a time and delete the drop shadow effect using the appearance panel.
One of these methods will work. Unless the drop shadow is actually a filter and not an effect. In that event use the direct select tool to select the select the shadow on the canvas and then delete it.

[Solved] Remove Panel Shadow In KDE 4.10

Hello all,
I just moved to KDE 4.10, and everything works smoothly.
I have just on little annoyance, I can't figure out how to get rid of the panel shadow.
It is going on top of the application window itself, and makes it harder to read content, I'm pretty sure this was not the case in 4.9.x.
Thanks, Adam.

"Shadow" around Canvas in PS CS5 and how to remove it?

Hi everybody,
forgive me if this was answered before, I did a search but did not find anything relevant ...
I upgraded to PS CS5 recently and there seems to be a new "Feature" of a sort of shadow around every page/canvas.
Maybe the correct term would be "Page Shadow" ... ?
Imagine a plain white document of, say, 500 by 500 pixels.
When I resize its (non-tabbed) window to make it bigger than the document itself, I don't get a sharp border between the white document and the grey window-background as it used to be.
Instead there is this "Page Shadow" around it, which I find very annoying and it wasn't there before in CS4 or any other version I remember.
I looked everywhere, but I can't find any option to remove this shadow.
I really want to get rid of it though, any tips on what I may be missing ??
Thanks
Duuude
P.S.: I hope what I wrote makes any sense, English is not my first language ...

Hi Zeno,
Thank you for letting us know this. I turned it off. Its really annoying when working on images
as it give it a fuzzy edge look that bugs my eye.

Just an FYI, the drop shadow around the image was first introduced in CS4 but it needs OpenGL Drawing enabled from Edit->Preferences->Performance to work.
