Removing an object from a photo in PSE 10

I have a photo where there is a bucket sitting on the sidewalk.  I cant seem to get rid of the bucket in this picture.  I have looked for a tutorial but theyare either from a different version of PSE or they are for taking an object out of one picture and inserting in another, which is not what I want to do!
Can someone please help me? (see photo below)

First I added a Levels adjustment layer to temporarily lighten the picture so I could see what I was doing.
Here I indicate the 3 distinct sections of the sidewalk.
Used the Rectangular Marquee tool to select this portion of the red section.
Copied/pasted the selection to a new layer and used the Move tool to reposition it over the bucket.
Further resized the repositioned to get this result:
Did the same for the yellow and blue portions (new layer for each).
Went back into the adjustment layer and darkened the picture. I thought it looked better a bit lighter than the original. Here I show the various layers.
If you want I can post the final version for you to download.

  • 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.

  • I want to purchase Apature, but In the advertising blurb I dont see how to remove unwanted objects from a photo. I know it can be done in Adobe Elements, but I would rather Apature.

    What DiploStrat said.
    To expand a little bit:  Aperture allows you to assign a graphics program (such as PSE) as an "external editor".  In general, you use Aperture to organize your photos, to develop them (make them as good as possible for each use), and to publish them (create share-able files).  Your external editor is used when you want to create a new graphics file, which is what happens in all "destructive pixel editing".
    Aperture provides tools to remove sensor spots from skies (and like operations), but for removing people and billboards you'll want a proper compositor, a/k/a a graphics program.

  • ? Remove Smart Tags from Multiple photos in PSE 8

    I need to remove the Smart Tags assigned to about 1,000 photos without removing the other tags (People, Places, etc) assigned to the photos (each photo has 2-3 tags). Is there a way to do this as a group or batch? I can't believe that PSE would make you do this one-by-one. Thanks.

    Hmm, I just tried it again and it removed all the Smart Tags from the selected photos.  Most likely, you left-clicked at some point, causing the selection to move to just the photo being clicked.  So try exactly this:
    1. Edit > Select All.
    2. Right-click one of the selected thumbnails.
    3. Choose Remove Keyword Tag.

    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.

    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 might I merge 2 photos, and object from one photo cleanly onto a background from another?

    I paint from photos, and wish to merge 2 photos together. I now use PS7. I would like to  clearly merge an object from one photo onto a background in a 2nd photo. The photomerge options in a trial PS10 do not create the composite I wish, ie, a clean object onto a continuous background.

    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4264800#4264800
      You need to select the object and place it on to a separate layer and then place the background on a layer bellow it. I created a similar example some time ago. See if the above thread helps.

  • How do I move an object from one photo to another and then change the scene, i.e.  winter to sum?

    How do I move an object from one photo to another and then change the scene, i.e.  winter to summer?

    OK.
    Open the picture with the new scene. This will be your canvas.
    Open the picture with object A, select it with one of the selection tools, go to Edit>copy
    Go back to the new scene/canvas, Go to Edit>paste
    Repeat for object B
    Use the move tool to position A & B, each on its own layer. Use the corner handles of the bounding box to resize, if necessary
    You should have 3 layers: Background layer, and the 2 layers with A & B
    Note: It's best if the resolution of the 3 picture files is the same value.

  • 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,

  • 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.
