Sampeling a colour from a photo places in Illy CS4

Hoping this is a simple one to figure out. In CS3 I would drop a photo into the document and then using the eyedropper I would just sample colours from the photo. CS4 wont sample full stop - pulling my hair out and grinding to a halt on the whole workflow - anyone had the same problem or can offer a solution.
Not really loving CS4 at all - I work in it about 8 hours a day 6 days a week and after 3 weeks I'm still hoping that after time all these little tweaks will make sense....
Ah well - hoping someone can help with the photo thing :-)

By default, the eyedropper sample the appearance of object, If you want
to sample color from an image with that default you need to use the
shift key when sampling. Or double-click the eyedropper and uncheck
Appearance.

    Open picture B, the one you wish to select the hair from to add to the picture.
    Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the hair. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
    Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the hair to the clipboard
    Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
    Use the move tool to position the hair from picture B.
    In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and the hair (B) on a separate layer.

  • My printer has stop printing from the photo tray. I need to place the photo stock in the main tray

    I've a HP PhotoSmart Plus printer B210a.  The printer will no longer print from the photo tray.  I'm still able to get prints; but I must place the photo stock in the main tray.  It becomes a problem, because I sometimes forget the photo stock is the main tray and I waste photo stock when I do my regular printing and only get part it because the photo was still in the tray.  Anyway to fix this?

    Hi there wmcook,
    Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? What operating system are you using and are there any errors when attempting to print from the photo tray?

  • HT3805 Aperture (Current version) won't populate photo place holder from Aperture Library, found one photo that would, what's wrong?

    Yesterday 10-4-2011, I downloaded the Aperture App.  I haven't gone to my Aperture class yet, but wanted to know why the photo place holder in an email stationary application will not accept a drag and drop from the Aperture library.  I did find only one photo that actually did populate, what do you think is the difference with all the rest of my photos?
    I did import all my photos and movies to Aperture from the iPhoto Library and then deleted my iPhoto Library.
    Thanks

  • 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 share from the photo stream to Facebook in iPhoto?

    So, I have a photo in my photostream and on my iphone - in iPhoto '11 9.5 (902.7) running on Mavericks 10.9 (13A598) I select that photo and then try to share it to my Facebook account, which IS set up correctly in iPhoto.  All I get is the annoying "clunk" sound.  In iphoto, it shows the correct date the photo was taken, along with the correct location the photo was taken.  But iPhoto won't share to Facebook from the iCloud photostream.
    I would share the photo from my iPhone (iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.3), but apparently the Photo app on iOS is too simplistic to pull the location data from the photo and fill out the location data, and will only let me enter things near my current location, which is idiotic when the phone and iOS itself created a photo with embedded location data.
    Am I doing somthing wrong here?  Is it even possible to share from the Photostream to Facebook in the latest version of iPhoto?  Why doesn't the Photo app on the iPhone use the location data that it (the iPhone camera app) put there in the first place?  Or am I simply expecting too much from Apple products and software?

    Thanks, that was the problem.  Hope they rethink that, seems kind of redundant when they want us to stay in the cloud - they just put it in an event named "Month Year Photostream".

  • Can you edit a person from one photo and add them to another photo?

    Can you edit a person out of one photo and add them to another photo?  Like if you need the head shot from one photo to replace closed eyes in the other photo?  Thanks.

    Thank you very much!  Does this require software to be purchased?  I'm new to Photoshop.

    Subject: Re: Can you edit a person from one photo and add them to another photo?
    Welcome to the forum.
    Yes, this is done often. You will need to create a Mask of that person, to separate them from the background of the original Image.
    I like to do this with a Layer Mask, as it offers control, and really does not alter the Image, so you can go back and make changes.
    Let's say that you have Image 01 w/ the head of your subject, and want to place it into Image 02. In Image 01, make a rough Selection. I would include a bit of extra background, as we will take care of that in a moment. With that Selection active, Copy the head shot. Go to Image 02, and Paste it. It will Paste in its own Layer. Ctrl+T (Free Transform) can be used to Scale and also position that Layer with the head. Once you have that Scaled and positioned about where you want it, create a Layer Mask. In QuickMask Mode, just paint in the additional Mask to remove all traces of the background that came in with the head shot. As you can paint OUT, and also paint IN the Mask, you can work on this, as many times as you wish - even next year.
    For getting that Layer Mask looking good, work slowly, also see this http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshop/l/blrbps_5agirl.htm.
    I've got another tutorial, that addresses the hair area, and will post that, when I find my bookmark.
    Good luck,

  • Moving from Windows Photo Gallery to iPhoto

    Hi there,
    I have a couple thousand photos I'll be moving to iPhoto when I move to a Mac, and was wondering if anybody knows a painless way to get the metadata from Windows Photo Gallery in Vista across with them. Obviously I could go through and re-tag them all/album them all manually, but if there's a way of dragging albums, captions etc along with them then it'll be much appreciated.
    I've tried getting WPG to sort the folder structure for me and do it that way, but I can't find an option to do that with existing (Only with new imports).
    Thanks guys!

    Just select add when you import them and they will be added right in place.  You can use LR to move and rename folders.

  • How to import the photos from the Photos tab in the Photos app in iOS 7?

    I use iPhone 4 with iOS 7. I have done the following steps:
    Connected my iPhone to my Mac.
    Opened iPhoto.
    Clicked on my iPhone in the left sidebar.
    Clicked the blue button, offering to import X photos.
    I chose to delete the photos from my iPhone, when I was prompted at the end of the import.
    However, I noticed the following - there were photos, that was not offered for an import. Now, on my iPhone when I open the Photos app and go to albums my Camera Roll album is empty, but when I go to Photos App -> Photos I see the photos I imported, as well as many many photos that were not imported, but are also not in the Camera Roll album (it's empty, as noted). So:
    1. How do I get the photos from Photos app -> Photos tab?
    2. How do I delete them from there when I have them.
    One more thing - isn't it annoying that one has to delete the same photo from so many places -> Camera Roll Album, My Photo Stream. Photos Tab. I mean - if I take a picture by mistake, shouldn't it be possible to just delete it from one place and never see it again?

    It seems I was wrong. I just had missed seeing the photos in iPhoto. Sorry for the confusion.

  • How can I create a drawing like the one pictured from a photo?

    How can I create a drawing like the one pictured from a photo?

    OK, you are getting closer. Now, use your result, and place a Layer above that. Use the Pen Tool to create the "pen strokes" basically tracing over your background image. Then, when you have created each Path (or Sub-Path), choose Stroke Path, with probably the Pencil Tool and a Brush size that is small enough.
    Not sure which versions of PS these are good for, but here are some plug-ins, that might be helpful.

    I see that one of my old favorites, Flaming Pear's India Ink is not around any more.

  • How can one create a paint color generated from a photo using Kuler?

    How can one create a paint color generated from a photo using Kuler?

    The best way to remove a pattern is to use a Fast Fourier Transform.  There's a free plugin (as well as examples and instructions) here:
    http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6795661/4N6site/improc/fftplugin/examples.htm
    Using the plugin requires editing the individual colour channels, which PSE does not natively allow.  You'll need the reasonably-priced Elements+ addin:

    Here's a crop at 100% of the result I got:
    The pattern is much reduced.  With some experimenting, you can probably do a little better.

    Oké, for now it's not a person but the attached object. Is there a particular way to extract the disgorger from the picture so I can use it in an other document?
    Tnx anyways for the previous answers.
