Turning Cat Fur White?

Hello all,
I'd like to ask if anyone could assist me in learning how to turn cat's fur white ... while maintaining the dark areas, such as the nose, eyes, etc.
I do know Photoshop fairly well ... but still learning LOADS of stuff I never knew about, so I'm sure there's some areas that I've not even touched, that would help me achieve this effect.  I'm willing to learn. 
And while I have you in here ... what software add on or separate program, is the best for 'knocking out' backgrounds ... and which is best for streamlining (photo to drawing)?
Thanks ever so much!
Diana

As for the knockout, I use the Selection and Masking in PS. I find that I have much more control, than with any of the plug-ins that I have seen. Have to admit that I have not explored any for years, so there are probably better ones now. I just do it by hand, using several techniques. Often, I'll look at the Channels to see if I can get a good start on my Mask there. I will also change the Mode to Lab, and explore those Channels.
Depending on what I find there, and on my image, I'll go to work with the Pen Tool, or one of the Selection Tools. Along the way, I'll jump to Quick Mask and "paint" in/out my Mask. The time spent doing the Mask will pay dividends later.
With "hair," this TUTORIAL might be useful.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • HT3180 My apple tv box no longer turns on, the white light constantly flashes on and off but no signal to my tv. All devices still pick up airplay but not actually playing. Restoring the box has made no difference, any clues?!

    Was the restore done via iTunes?

    If so then you may need to take it to Apple.

  • Colored Pictures Turning Black and White in Certain Files (PSE 9.0)

    Hey guys, how's it going?
    I'll try to keep this breif, but it may take a little while to explain. I've been getting a problem with PSE 9.0 where an image or layer that is in color suddenly turns black and white when I paste it into an open file. It's a lot easier to explain with pictures, so here you go.
    Figure 1
    Figure 2
    (Before anything else is said, I would like to point out the reasoning behind relating a middle-finger, a hammer and sickle, and a pony from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic into a single image; it's a parody project I'm working on. It's about 30 times weirder out of context, trust me.)
    As you can see, the source imagery with "APPA JAK" on it (figure 1) is in full color, but when I pasted it onto the layer with the hammer and sickle, it turned black and white. This has become the same with a few other images I have found, but I couldn't find any reliable way to recreate the problem. The problem is also the same weather I find the pictures from the internet, copy those to my clipboard, and paste them or simply paste them from my computer.
    If you need any more information (dxdiag, settings, etc. etc.) feel free to ask, and thanks in advance for helping me!

    Just a guess because I don't have the original images to play with, but the hammer and sickle is a grayscale image so images posted into it become grayscale. 
    Use Image / Mode / RGB Color to change the target image to color before pasting anything into it.
    Alternatively, use File / New to create a new image that is full color and paste everything into it.

  • Why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?

    why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?
    I have been playing duo and montotone images into indesing with no trouble. Then all of a sudden as I placew them they go black and whitre. I have tried everything from re saving, re making in photoshop and differant colours et5c. But nothing seems to wrok. The images already in my document arew fine it is just new ones. If someone could help that would be great

    Can you start a new document and then load one of the duotones known to be good in the working file and have it correct? If so, try one of the duotones known to be bad in the working document in the new file. Does it work?
    If no to either suggestion, can you share one of the images known to be good and one known to be bad? ZIP 'em up and upload to dropbox and plop a link here. Or, to keep the file sizes down, you can quickly make a new set and provide those.
    As well, the ID version and OS info would probably be helpful.
    Take care, Mike

  • Why Transaction iView Turns to a White Screen When Right Clicking?

    Hi Experts,
    We have created a transaction iView for the property tree in 2 systems: our system and the client's system. In the portal after we open the screen and right click on the screen, the whole screen turns to a white screen. But it only does that in the client's system not our system.
    This is the error in the bottom of the page "Object doesn't support the property or method". Both systems use SAP NetWeaver 7.0 2004s. Has anyone come across this issue before? I would very appreciate any responses.
    Thank you,
    Don P.

    Hi
    You can try these checks on your client's system... looks like some browser issue..
    I am assuming you are running on same IE versions on both the systems..
    1. Try to open in some other browser( mozilla or chrome...) and see if it works..
    2. Check this microsoft link also.

    I'm using Photoshop CC 2014, when I open a picture and movie it to a different Photoshop page, the picture turns black and white. How do I fix this problem?

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details since even your terminology is confusing. there are no "pages" in Photoshop. What you describe in vague terms could be anything from your target document having a different color mode/ color profile to some hardware acceleration issue, but we really can't make any sense of it based on your information.

  • Original picture turns black and white when adding layer masks.

    Creating a collage. Just placed a new object with a layer mask. Now I need to create a hue/saturation, levels adjustment layer and color balance adjustment layer all with masks. Ok, no problem, but when I do this, my original picture turns black and white. HELP!!! School project and has to be completed by Monday morning.
    Thanks. Dawn

    You haven't added a Hue/Saturation layer that's got Saturation turned all the way down, by chance?
    It might be helpful if you'd capture a screen grab and post it here, showing your layers and channels panels.  With a look at how things are organized knowledgeable folks here should be able to help or at least ask more direct questions.

    My computer turns to a white screen. In the center it blinks a suitcase with a question mark in the center. I can not access my desktop. Is this a malware virus?

    Hi, likely neither.
    What shows for boot choices if you hold alt or option key on startup?
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

  • Weird parts of screen and icons turning black with white bands?

    So I've been getting these weird flashes on my screen, mostly when using the internet, but also sometimes icons appear similar to the flashes as pictured below... it should be the calculator app icon but instead it's black with white streaks.
    Or here's the link for a better view:
    http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/4ldthLn49zAmGLhSypdgog?feat=directlink
    I see it mostly when loading a page on the internet... for a split second the whole frame turns black with white horizontal streaks. I tried to get a screen capture of it but it happens too fast. The whole monitor doesn't turn black, just the window I'm using.
    I did a little research and think it might be screen artifacts and maybe my graphics card is going bad... but can someone confirm or deny this? Does it sound like something else? It seems to be getting worse... so I want to get it taken care of.
    Any help would be great.
    Here's my graphics card info... *i think*
    GeForce FX 5200:
    Chipset Model: GeForce FX 5200
    Type: Display
    Bus: AGP
    Slot: SLOT-1
    VRAM (Total): 64 MB
    Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
    Device ID: 0x0321
    Revision ID: 0x00a2
    ROM Revision: 2060

    Boot off your original G5 Install Disk while holding down Option/alt key to select AHT, then run the extended Apple Hardware Test.
    It sounds like the Video card, but you might also Get Temperature Monitor - 4.51 to see if it's heat related...

    If you have any temps in the 70°C/160°F range, that's likely it.
