Are you using the Photoshop SDK, a tool for programmers? If not, I
recommend the regular Photoshop forum.

  • Remove background from Smart Build images

    Hi,
    I've just started creating my first project with Keynote, and so far it's terrific. The question I have is, is it possible to use the alpha tool, or something similar to remove backgrounds from images that I'm using for a smart builds effect.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Welcome to the discussions, Decaffeinated1.
    The problem you're seeing is specifically with how Keynote copies images. Neither Pages nor Numbers has this problem. The problem and the solution is described here.
    http://www.keynoteuser.com/news/?p=256
    Basically, your choice is to copy through Pages or Numbers (or iWeb) OR to copy another object which will force Keynote to adhere to the transparency set with Instant Alpha.

    o I remove text from a photo?

    Contact the person who took the photo and ask for a clean copy.
    If you don't know the photographer, chances are good that your use of the photo would be a violation of copyright.

  • Removing background from text?

    Hi All. I am a very new user to Flash and know my question is
    probably extremely basic but I can't figure out what I'm doing
    wrong.
    I am trying to place fading text on top of an image and when
    I create the animation, it places it on a white (specified)
    background. The animation I have created is on its own layer. So my
    question would be, how do I remove the background from my text? I
    would like a transparent background so my text fades in right on
    top of my image.
    Right now, the initial image with falling snow starts and
    about 25 frames in, it turns to white and the text fades in...how
    do i get rid of the white so the text fades in and you are still
    able to see the image and the falling snow?
    I am very very new to Flash (3 days in) and although this is
    a ridiculously easy task to perform in photoshop, I cannot grasp
    how to do it in flash cs4. Thank you, in advance, for any help I
    may receive. I'm trying hard to learn this medium...

    Select the textfield on the stage and see if the icon remains
    unselectable... if so, what version of Flash are you using (I'm
    just curious if it's CS4)?
    Another way to remove the textfield background/border is thru
    actionscript. The textfield must have an instance name to be able
    to do this. Let's say you name it tFeld. In a timeline layer for
    actions, select the first frame of the actions layer where the
    textfield appears on the timeline below it (I only assume it's on a
    layer below somewhere) anmd type the following in the actionscript
    editor window:
    tField.background = false;
    tField.border = false;
    If none of the above works, then I have a feeling I'm
    misinterpretting the scenario. I'm assuming the textfield includes
    its own background at that there isn't some other background
    involved that you area talking about.

  • Removing Background From Picture Problem

    I'm not an expert with Photoshop and am having a problem removing the background from the picture below. The Selected area doesn't stay within the circular cream colored area but always goes outside and fills up the whole square except for the middle hole area. How can I remove the background?

    It sounds like you are trying to use something like Quick Select and maybe Refine edge.  The problem is that you don't have enough contrast for the work well.  You can temporarily increase contrast with a Levels adjustment layer using setting like below
    Having made the selection, go back to the original layer to apply the selection.
    But that is still not the best way to select with your image.  The Pen tool would make a better job, but there is a learning curve in using that.  You could just use the elliptical Marquee tool for the center hole.  Remember you don't need to do the entire selection in one go.
    lastly, you'd have made life easier if you took the photograph with the flange hanging from fishing line against a bright white BG.  That's what we call the 'Shoot it Again filter' 
    Good luck.  It soon gets easier

  • Removing background from plastic wrap

    Hi all,
    I need to remove the background from this image while keeping the straw and plastic wrap. Have looked all over for a tutorial, but no luck. Any help on how to do this would be much appreciated!
    Thanks in advance,

    I guess it depends on your goal.
    If you just want to change the background you might get away with just using the multiply blending mode.
    If you want a seperate transparent file you could try something like this:
    1.duplicate the layer
    2. select all
    3. edit>copy
    4. add a layer mask (press the layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers panel)
    5. alt click on the layer mask
    6. edit>paste
    7. image>adjustments>invert
    8. apply the layer mask (right click on the layer mask and press apply layer mask)
    9.Select>Deselect
    10. Layer>matting>remove white matte
    You might add a drop shadow to bring out the plastic more.

  • Removing background from picture

    Hi I m automodeliste and I need create my own decals .My question is how can I remove the background from the picture of the real car staying only whith the text that I want.
    I'm using the photoshop cs6.
    Thanks

    If I am understanding your question correctly you can just use the quick selection tool in the tool bar on the left side of the screen towards the top. Zoom into the image if you have to, then simply click on the image until it is highlighted by a doted line to the desired amount of image you want. Then you can do whatever you want with it. Or for a little more advanced user you can use the pen tool by point and click. Going around the image and just connecting the dots as you go. With the image completely selected by making it aroung to where you started you can then do whatever else you want. With a little practice you can even use the pen tool to make custom curves and make font follow those curves this is a very cool feature I use a lot doing vinyl decals myself. Hope this was helpful.

  • Removing background from video(2)

    I want to remove the background from video easily and live,
    using green screen like they do in most forecasts at tv news.
    (where they display the forecast map...)
    Is it possible?

    FCP isn't a live switcher...it is a Non Linear Editing machine. You must first capture the footage, key it, then output.

  • Removing background from line drawing

    I'm desperate to find out how I can removing the background from a line drawing, leaving only the lines.

    Couple of additional tricks that can help in cleaning the image before using the magic wand. Open Levels and set a white point on the background using the white point eye dropper. This can clean up some stray marks. You can also use Threshold (filter>adjustments>threshold)to better separate the lines from the background.

  • How do you remove captions from photo books in iPhoto 9.5.1?

    I wanted to see what a photo book created in iPhoto '11 looks like with my own pics so I made one the simplest way possible: picked an event, chose a format, clicked "buy book." It arrived yesterday and it's gorgeous but I want the next ones to be even better. In the "Folio" layout every page has a default copyright notice. I don't need that. Every page has the photo's name, useful stuff like "DSC_1518." I don't need that either. Is there a way to remove the entries from every caption box all at once? If I can empty all of them at once I can easily put back the entries I actually want. I can manually empty them but that's 4 captions on every one of 96 pages. Clearing one and clicking "change everywhere" doesn't do it. I don't want to remove the boxes, just the default entries in all of them.
    Thanks

    If you use a theme that has layouts without text boxes or themes that do not have autoload of text the text will not print even though you get a warning before ordering.  Folio is the only theme that automatically puts in some text.  The others just have placecard text that does not print.
    You can test it by by proofing the book according to this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture.
    These are two pages from the Picture Book theme of a 2 photo per page layout. One has text and the other doesn't.  The text you see is placecard text and will not display when printed. 
    This is a screenshot of the pages in the PDF file:
    No text on the second page.

  • Remove geotags from photos taken with iPhone (2G)

    Hi everyone,
    I have some photos inside iPhoto that were taken with my 1st gen iPhone. For example there's one event with photos all taken within the range of a few meters, but the map shows me the pin at a not so nearby city and when zooming in it splits into 4 pins where only 1 of them is the correct event location. Another event is in the middle of Ireland, but I've never been there in my life. You get the idea...
    Since this gets you lots of partially wrong places I'd like to simply remove all geographic information from these photos and give them a location manually later on.
    What is the easiest way to accomplish this?
    Thanks a lot!
    Björn
    PS: I tried creating new places, but that's not what I'm looking for.

    OK, I've tried several tools which offer EXIF metadata editing, but none could remove the geotags. So I took another look at iPhoto and found the following workaround:
    Export the photos from iPhoto and make sure that *'Include Location Data'* isn't checked. It's a bit strange, but when exporting to JPG (the originals are JPG, too) and selecting the highest quality setting the above mentioned option is greyed out. Seems like this simply outputs your images completely unchanged, because the geotags were still there. So I had to select
    a) another file format like TIFF or
    b) choose a lower JPG quality setting.
    I went with b) since the images are only iPhone photos and there was not a single pixel difference in quality when I selected JPG and quality High instead of the maximum setting. After exporting I deleted the geotagged originals from iPhoto and re-imported my tag-less photos. Places no longer shows a place now.
    Not ideal, but I can live with it for now. Maybe I'll appreciate the iPhone's geotagging ability once I have a 3G or newer model, but I don't want to use the 2G's only nearly accurate location data...
    Hope this helps someone else looking for the same thing!

  • Removing Background from Subject Using Clean Plate?

    If I have a clean plate and then another layer with talent acting in the same exact shot as the clean plate, is there any way for After Effects to remove the background of the shot with the talent? I essentially want to do a green screen without the green screen.

    You need to use a technique called rotoscoping to separate the subject from the background.  You can then put the subject over the clean plate.
    Rotoscoping is not an easy or an automatic technique.  You'll find valuable information about it here.
    This page has some very good links.  You should know that AE's Rotobursh tool can not be used intuitively, and that you must look at the training for it that you'll find in the links in the page above.

  • Best way to remove background from b&w image

    Hello,
    I work a lot with black en white images from scanning electron microscopes. Prior to publication, I usually make the background completely black so the subject stand out more. What is the best approach to extract your subject from the (sometimes cluttered) background? Due to the lack of color traditional methods are not very useful.
    Thanks,
    Bart

    Changing levels and contrast does not work for me as the subject loses too much quality. I usually use a tablet and remove the background manually but because of all the little hairs on the subject this is going to be a tedious task and I have to do a few dozen.
    Anyway, if there's no quick fix than I'll have to rely on the tablet anyway.
    Thank you guys for your input!

  • How to remove background from image?

    Hello folks.
    I am trying to incorporate some business logos into a brochure I am creating. The problem is, most of these logos have a white background. How can I remove this and make a transparent background?
    Thanks!

    Blend modes are your friend. always keep in mind that Multiply, screen and overlay affect the white, black and gray depending which one you choose.
    Attached is a blend mode example from photoshop using a black to white gradient.  The normal layer fills the document with.the blend layers on top with the gradient inverted.
    This example is text naming the solid color backgrounds blended over a gradient.

  • Easiest way to remove background from an image

    Hello-
    I am using Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended and I am working on trying to select a portion of a photo to use as a watermark. The photo is of a racecar in the foreground and I want to exclude the background (which is the road). Of the selection tools I really like the Magnetic Lasso tool to get in close on the objects edges but sometimes it selects areas I don't want. Does anyone know how to adjust the magnetic lasso tool once you have it all the way around an object? I've also tried the Magic Wand tool but found I couldn't drag it into a new document so that didn't work. I just need to find the easiest way to accomplish this task. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

    >I just need to find the easiest way to accomplish this task.

    <br />The pen tool is not likely the fastest way to isolate the car from the background but it is certainly the most accurate. Learn to use the pen tool; you will not be disappointed.
