Removing an object from a background

Hi all need some help. Creating a digital mood board for my homework. Need to cut out and display items on the mood board. When I try and remove for example a couch from its surroundings it works but then I try and move it over to Microsoft works and the white background comes back. How do I keep it so that the image of only the couch comes over and not the background!
Help it's driving me crazy
Stephanie

Are you using masks to cut out the couch or actually deleting pixels? If you are using a mask, you will need to apply the layer mask.
Here I have an image that has a mask over it—imagine that the circle is your couch that you have "cut out" using a layer mask. The rest of the image is still there, but is blocked from view by the mask. When you apply the layer mask, it merges the mask with your image and gets rid of all of the parts of the image blocked out by the mask.
Control click on the layer in your layers panel to open a flyout. Choose apply layer mask.
Result:
So, at this point you will then be in the same part of the process as if you can deleted all of the image surrounding the "couch." Now you save the image as a .png.
Please let me know if this works for you!

How to remove an object from its background with mocha

Hello,
I have th Mocha version that comes along with Adobe After Effects CS5.5. Does this cersion has the remove tool?
Thank you..

You can track things, create masks, export the masks, remove backgrounds, and do a bunch of really amazing things with the version of Mocha that comes with AE, you just can't drop a clip into the included version of Mocha and render out a composite. There are also other goodies in Mocha Pro.
I'd suggest that you go through a fist full of Mocha tutorials. There are a bunch of good ones on the Imagineer Systems site. Try filtering the results by Mocha AE.

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.

//problem occurs hereI'm not sure that the problem does occur within the
removeCdForTitle() method.
Your main() method calls removeCd() which obtains the title of
the CD to be removed (keyword). But remoceCd() never
calls removeCdForTitle(), so nothing is ever removed.

How can I remove an image from its background and save it? (Photoshop cs6)

Hello,
I am very new to the photoshop world and am trying to remove an image from its background ( as a stand-alone) and save it. Is there a way to do this in Photoshop CS6? I have looked at tutorials but only found how to remove the image but not how to save the image as a stand alone with no background.
Any help would be appreciated
Erika

Hi Erika,
Are you trying to save a portion of an image with a transparent background? It may help to post a screenshot of the image that you're working with as well as your layers panel.
I've included a few tips below that may help you with your situation. If you need additional help, please feel free to post again
Deleting a background and saving an image with a transparent background
1. Here I am working with an image of a santa hat that I've cut out from a white background. I have two layers, the cut-out santa hat and the original file. I'm going to delete the background layer so that I have just one layer - the cut-out santa hat:
2. You'll see that a checkerboard pattern has appeared behind the santa hat. This means that the background is transparent.
3. You can then go to File > Save As... and select PNG, Photoshop PSD, or TIFF from the Format dropdown menu. These file formats will save the cut-out portion of your image on its own, while preserving the transparent background.

How to remove an object from session with JSF 2.0 + Faceletes

hi all,
I have a facelets page which calls a backing bean of session scope. Now when ever i click on this page i want the existing bean object to be removed from the session . In my existing jsp i have a logic something like this to remove the object from session
<% if (request.getParameter("newid") != null) {
request.getSession().removeAttribute("manageuserscontroller");
%>
Now i have to refactor my jsp to use facelets and i should not be using scriplets anymore . I did try with JSTL but the <c:remove> tag is not supported by facelets.
Can someone help me how can i refactor this code to work for my facelets?
I really appreciate your help in advance
Thank you

r035198x wrote:
Redesign things so that the remove is done in a backing bean method rather than in a view page.Exactly that. I tend to cleanup session variables at the start and at the end of a page flow; generally the end is some sort of save or cancel action being invoked through a button but that is application specific.

How to remove the Object from memory.

Hello.
Flash file that i made with Flex Builder uses memory too
much.
Look at the next example source code.
var testCan:Canvas = new Canvas();
this.addChild(testCan);
this.removeChild(testCan);
testCan = null;
but just memory usage still goes up, is not freed instantly.
so if i load the large flash files on my web browser,
after 5 munites or something, the web browser is down.

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...

Remove AP object from WLC

How to remove AP object from WLC 8500 ? I had dismantle one AP so it is now no longer associated with WLC, I want to remove AP info from WLC. But unable to find any command for the same.

Hi Scott,
Thanks for your answer.. But it's not fulfill my question. I want to remove some of AP entries which is not currently associated with WLC.
Below are steps which I understood when new AP joins to controller in my case.
1) We are configuring AP with static IP and capwap protocol thru console login of AP.
2) We are connecting AP to WLC thru netwok.
3) When A joins to controller, It will be visible at Monitor section > Access Point Summary
4) It will start from AP.macaddress
5) Now remotely we are applying AP name, HIgh availability and assign to appropriate AP group.
Now My query is when AP joins to controller, somewhere there should be entry in database that this mac address of AP is joined to controller along with AP configuration.
I want to delete some of AP databases which are disassociates from controller due to media failure between AP and WLC/AP no longer available.
Is there any command to remove AP entries from Controller ? or any other procedure ?

How to remove an object from Buffer Cache

Hi,
I have a simple question. How can I remove an object from the Buffer Cache in Oracle 10gR2 ?
I am doing some tuning tasks in a shared development database, so I can't do "alter system flush shared_pool" because it will affect other people who are running their queries. So I want to remove from Buffer Cache only the objects that I know that I am the only reader. I can see the objects that I want to be removed by querying the V$BH view.
By the way, I did some "alter system flush shared_pool" and my objects were not removed from the Buffer Cache, and they are not in the "Keep".
Thanks In Advance,
Christiano

Further more, you can use CACHE | NOCACHE on table level to indicate how you want Oracle handle the data blocks of said table.
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_7002.htm#i2215507
CACHE | NOCACHE | CACHE READS
Use the CACHE clauses to indicate how Oracle Database should store blocks in the buffer cache. If you specify neither CACHE nor NOCACHE, then:
In a CREATE TABLE statement, NOCACHE is the default
In an ALTER TABLE statement, the existing value is not changed.
CACHE For data that is accessed frequently, this clause indicates that the blocks retrieved for this table are placed at the most recently used end of the least recently used (LRU) list in the buffer cache when a full table scan is performed. This attribute is useful for small lookup tables.
As a parameter in the LOB_storage_clause, CACHE specifies that the database places LOB data values in the buffer cache for faster access.
Restriction on CACHE You cannot specify CACHE for an index-organized table. However, index-organized tables implicitly provide CACHE behavior.
NOCACHE For data that is not accessed frequently, this clause indicates that the blocks retrieved for this table are placed at the least recently used end of the LRU list in the buffer cache when a full table scan is performed. NOCACHE is the default for LOB storage.
As a parameter in the LOB_storage_clause, NOCACHE specifies that the LOB value either is not brought into the buffer cache or is brought into the buffer cache and placed at the least recently used end of the LRU list. The latter is the default behavior.
Restriction on NOCACHE You cannot specify NOCACHE for an index-organized table.
CACHE READS CACHE READS applies only to LOB storage. It specifies that LOB values are brought into the buffer cache only during read operations but not during write operations.

I am trying to remove an object from a photo such as the back of a person's head. How do I do this? I have iphoto '09.

I am new to iphoto and am trying to figure out how to remove an object from a photo (ie the back of a person's head, or an arm in a photo that seems to belong to no one). I have iphoto '09.

You need an external editor for that kind of work.
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate.
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.

Add/Remove data object from dataset

Hello,
I was working out a way to add and remove data from a dataset
on the fly and could not figure out any built in methods to do
this.
As I have decided to include spry in my project I like to try
and utilise as much as of its code as possible since it is
complicated to explain I have created a simple example – a
colour picker! (thought it might be more interesting…) of
what I am trying to achieve at
http://www.freshfresh.co.uk/spry/
- if you have a go on this and maybe look at the source code (all
the JS is embedded in HTML there are no modifications to other the
other core files). I have only used spry effects etc, including the
‘accordion’ – which I have become quite attached
to, it is really good for condensing pages down.
You will see I am using the setDataFromDoc method to create
the dataset – I tried the .data = myArrayOfData; .dataHash =
hashTable; method i.e. creating from an object rather than array
but it did’nt seem to play ball with the
addDataChangedObserver method – it did’nt update itself
each time it was modified (I am sorry I cannot remember exactly
what I did – but I tried all kinds of ways…). I stuck
with the string method because it worked - each time my new dataset
changed it updated itself on the screen (you will have to have a
look to understand.....sorry!!), but I would be interested to know
how such a thing could be implemented using the object route if you
believe this would be more efficient.
My second question is more simple – is there a shorter
way to add and remove a data object from a dataset? – as you
can see from the source code I have effectively created an
‘interface’ to do these tasks…. I could’nt
work out whether these methods are already built in. Maybe they
are?
Third question is… to extract a data object from a
dataset I use the .dataHash[the_row_id] method – is this the
right thing to do or could it lead to complications… that is
using methods that might supposedly be private?
Fourth question (observation really) – whilst creating
that colour picker example I went over board with my datasets and
loaded in several palettes some of which had over 1000 elements or
data objects. Which inevitably was very slow (on my computer
anyway) – but it got me thinking about trimming the contents
of my spry regions for better performance. I am I right in thinking
that the less HTML etc that there is in a spry region the quicker
SPRY will process it. For example say you had spry repeat with an
image tag in with some onclick, onmousover, onmouseout, style
attributes etc and compare this to a spry repeat with a simple
image with minimal attributes set. I suppose what I am trying to
say is – does spry ‘store’ all the contents of
each spry region somewhere? Or does it just process it and leave it
to the browser dom?
Fifth observation.... I find it really difficult to explain
computer technicalities in writing. It must be tough reading these
posts.... I know I find it difficult sometimes when dealing with
written end user feedback!
Andrew

Just clarifying my questions a bit further....
I found some old code regarding question 1 by using the
object method I mean something like this...
var mySwatches = [{'@hex':'ff0000'},{'@hex':'00ff00'}];
var hashTable = [];
function createDs(){
for (var i = 0; i < mySwatches.length; i++)
mySwatches
.ds_RowID = i;
hashTable = mySwatches
dsMySwatches.data = mySwatches;
dsMySwatches.dataHash = hashTable;
dsMySwatches.loadData();
i.e. not writing out a whole XML string string as the online
example does. When using this way I did'nt seem to be able to get
the HTML to refresh. I tried using [
Spry.Data.updateRegion('mydata'); ] after recreating the dataset I
also tried adding an [ .addDataChangedObserver ] (like in the
string example) amongst numerous other ways but it just would not
work like the string way. - Maybe I did something wrong somewhere.
In question 3 I refer to the [ .hash ] method .... its not a
'method' its a 'property' - my question should read - is it ok to
access private properties (from a browser campatiblity/security
point of view) that do not have specific methods to gain access to
them. I suppose it does'nt really matter with JS...
In question 4 I mention minimising the amount of code in a
spry region to speed it up. A clearer example of this might be for
example - a gallery with lots of images. As we know there will be a
slight delay as SPRY writes all the html so to speed up that intial
write I strip out all the image attributes such as onlclick do
this, onmouse over do that... and add these after the images have
loaded using a seperate function similar to my
fillSwatches(ds,prefix) function in my online colorpicker example.
I suppose it like a 2 tier processing of all the data. SPRY does
the intial display writing to get everything in place and then
another pass is made over to add any further functionality
adjustments etc. I am still not sure if that makes any sense!
***edit
Also on the subject of speed and the application as a whole
i.e. including my PHP - In one example I was creating I ended up
with an XML structure where each node has over 14 attributes i.e.
<somenode att1=”x” ……..
att14=”z”/> - as the file grew it obviously took
longer to process particularly on the server side, i.e. added all
those attributes just slowed it all down. So I did
this…… <somenode att1=”x:y:z” /> i.e
condensed selected attributes into a string that I could explode
later on.
Obviously this limits SPRYS ability to access the attributes
using the {attr} syntax. I had to create a function to explode the
array and do the ‘necessary’ on a second pass over the
data – this works ok for me. But its interesting that in this
particular case the server could not refresh the XML in an
acceptable time without doing this – just thought that might
be interesting to you. I suppose technically what I am doing is
abusing the concept of an XML structure and simply using it as a
‘carrier’ to feed my application …. Which I
suppose is where JSON comes in…. which is a bit more compact
and maybe faster to manipulate on both the server and client side
– I don’t really know, I have never used it –
just throwing ideas around!!

Remove my objects from Memory

I have a class "Ball" which display graphical circle ball in random x&y axis and I fade out it with Event.ENTER_FRAME and specify removeEventListener if it reach alpha<=0 .
Now I made multiple object from "Ball" class. Now, In my stage it works nice but when I see my Computer Memory status. my current flash.exe is increasing memory rapidly. Is how to remove my unusual object from my Memory. So that it would not get hang. At last thanks for taking interest on my problem

Here is a usefull article about garbage collection in flash. I came across it few weeks back ,I would like to share it :
