Removing unwanted objects

I'm trying to remove unwanted objects in a photo using PSE 12 but it isn't working. It keeps reverting to original state. Any ideas? I'm on a Macbook.

Yes.
It would be best if you post a representative picture, indicating what you are trying to delete, and, how you are going about it.

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 unwanted objects with content-aware healing

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshopelements/using/WS287f927bd30d4b1f-1a883eeb12e2803aa4d -7fdd.html

Have no idea what I did, so don't even ask. lol Double clicked on background layer and ended up creating a clipping mask. The using spot healing brush, I was able to remove water hose by the side of the pool, like I originally intended. I finally had upgraded from PSE 7 because of content aware fill and photomerge (and other stuff lol). The only thing was I seem to have lost my background layer. No problem, was working on a test file copy. Worked pretty good though. Not just have to find out what happened to my background layer. It was locked but ????? lol

Remove unwanted object?

Sorry for the newbie question.
I have a photo that I took of a bird. Unfortunately, there is also a twig in front of the bird. Can I remove this twig using Photoshop Elements 12?

Open the picture file in PSE Editor, expert tab
Open a blank layer above the background layer
Get the clone stamp tool out of the toolbox, then clone adjacent pixels over the offending twig
If you need additional help, please post the picture here for more targeted guidance.

Making and unwanted object disappear

I took notes while listening to the videoclip about removing unwanted objects and tried to apply what I had learned to a photo that had some telegraph wires I wanted to remove. I am working on a Mac OSX 10.7.5.
I right clicked on the spot healing brush , selected the 'content aware' option but couldn't get the wires removed. Then I also tried to lasso the wires. I selected in the Edit menu, the option 'fill'. I repeated the exercise three times but the wires did not disappear.
I also tried again one time lassoing first but then got this message:
"Could not rasterize because the pixel data for this layer is not directly editable."
So I then had to undo the lasso in the edit menu at the top of the screen.
Where could I have gone wrong?

Hi Randy
Thank you so much for trying to help me. I am a complete novice with Photoshop and am trying to teach myself from the videos so I apologise if I appear incompetent!
I tried to do as you suggested. I clicked on the image and then at the top scrolled down and discovered that 'RGB' was already selected so left it selected. I then selected 'Layer' on the top of the screen and scrolled down but could not find ‘root layer’. The only choices available were: new, duplicate layer, new fill layer, new adjustment layer, smart objects, video layer and none of these had an option of root layer in their drop down menus. Have I misunderstood you?
Also was I supposed to lasso the wires before following your instruction?
In addition, I have tried to insert the image to send to you and failed to do that too- how frustrating! I clicked on the camera symbol above this box , then 'choose file' from my computer , clicked on the image I wanted to insert and despite it coming up in the dialogue box and clicking 'insert image' nothing happened. I closed the dialog box and the image was not attached. I tried twice more with no luck. I don't think the link below will help you as it appears to be a link you need to use on my computer not for someone else to access from afar.

I am truly sorry for not understanding your instructions but would really appreciate further help

How do I eliminate unwanted objects in shot?

Hi all,
I have a tracking shot I want to utilize, but have to truncate this due to the fact that there is an unwanted reflection of a crew member in the chrome frame of the set table. Is the use of masks the most obvious solution to this problem and does this have to be implimented frame by frame? Any tips on ensuring the removal of these objects are seamless? Thank you in advance for any help?

I'm thinking that aftereffects has a motion tracker that can track a spot on the video where your unwanted object is, without seeing your footage, but making an assumption that a shinny mirror like surface was in fact what you had the reflection on, you could use the motion tracker to track the reflection and add a little blur and then a little tint possible to match the frames color;
This would avoid the need for you to manually track the reflection, Motion tracking has flows in the way it devolopes keyframes, which will mean you will have the tweak the keyframs to get a smooth motion if the reflection is moving in the video frame;
However this could speed up your results.
I used motion tracking before when I worked on a PC, mostly to overlay new video onto something like a TV image, or to add animation to follow someones hand that sort of stuff. I never used it to remove an object, however if a little blur fixes the issue, and all you have to do is decided where on each frame to add the blur, motion tracking would likly be a big help;
After effects Pro is what includes motion tracking:
http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/matrix.html
I hope this at least give you an idea of how to start, or triggers some thought from others...
p.s. you dont have to use the motion tracking data for a blur, you can use several points and have a mask created for you, or even use that data to clone from another video - once you have the data, you can generally be very creative with how you use that data in your footage.

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

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 do i remove an Object (aliens/ bullets) from my Space Invaders game??

Creating Space Invaders game and im getting confused on removing objects from my game. How do you actually remove an object (i.e bullets and aliens).
I know this isnt the right way to do it, but for the bullets i had an array of the Objects bullets[] and set the x and y coordinates off screen so u cant see then wen they are painted you cant see them, then wen the player fires them, the x and y coordinates change so they come from the players ship till it hits an alien or goes off screen, then i reset the coordinates so they are pasted off screen again. Im relatively new to this so i would appreciate any help. Im going to have to do the same with aliens wen a collision is detected. Is there a way of actually removing an object?
Here is sum code incase you need to see it:
public void checkCollision()
          Rectangle playerRec = new Rectangle(player1.getBoundingBox());
          for(int i=0; i<alienRow; i++)
               for(int j=0; j<alienCol; j++){
                    if(playerRec.intersects(aliens[i][j].getBoundingBox()))
                         collisionDetected();
                    for(int k=0; k<bulletNum; k++){
                         Rectangle bulletRec = new Rectangle(bullets[k].getBoundingBox());
                         if(bulletRec.intersects(aliens[i][j].getBoundingBox()))
                              removeBullet(bullets[k]);
                              collisionDetected();
     public static void collisionDetected()
          System.out.println("COLLISION");
private void removeBullet(Bullets bullet){
          bullet.fired=false;
          bullet.setX(-10);
          bullet.setY(-10);

I was thinking bout that arraylist angle before, but it makes sense now so i think that will work ok. Thx kevin.Not a problem.
Taking the List idea one step further, you could have a parent Object/Interface that all of your game objects extend/implement. Let's call it GameObject.
A GameObject would have a draw(Graphics g) function that you call from your paintComponent( ) method, and for example an act( ) function as well.
You'd have a single List of GameObjects that you add everything in your game into. Now painting is simply a matter of looping over a single List. And in your game logic loop, you could do a similar thing with the act( ) function: your bullet's act( ) would simply move it forward and check for collisions and going off screen. An alien's act( ) function would move it around and maybe shoot a weapon every so often.
Just an idea.

How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store?

How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store? So you understand better what I'm referring to:
I have the App Store icon in the Dock. When there's an update a red number appears on said icon. Well, I went to check on the updates and it's for 4 different applications I either no longer have or use. One of them is an update for Lion OS users. I'm still on Snow Leopard, so it doesn't even apply to me.
So there they sit... I'm not going to download the updates... so how do I get rid of them?

Hi Andy ..
no longer have or use
If there are updates available for apps you have deleted, try this.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Move the Cache.db and Updates files from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
Empty the Trash, restart your Mac.
For any apps you still have installed but do not use, the updates will still be available from the Updates top of the App Store window and show on the red badge on the App Store icon in the Dock.

Have you tried dropping the objects individually? You can see which objects still belong to this tablespace by using the DBA_SEGMENTS view as shown below:
SELECT OWNER, SEGMENT_NAME, SEGMENT_TYPE, TABLESPACE_NAME
FROM DBA_SEGMENTS
WHERE TABLESPACE_NAME=tbs_tp2;HTH!
