Where is the extract filter feature?

I used the extract feature frequently with CS2. Then I upgraded to CS5,
and even though the help menu said it is to be found in the filter drop-down
menu, it isn't there. Must I extract with CS2, save it, and then reopen it with CS5?
That certainly seems like a step backward.

Yes, but the Help Files also said this at the very top of that page:
To more effectively extract
objects from backgrounds, use the Refine Edge option for selections.
(See Refine
selection edges.) If you prefer the optional, Extract plug-in
described
below, download the Windows-only plug-in here.

  • Where is the extract filter in photoshop cs5?

    Where is the extract filter in photoshop cs5?  Thanks

    from an Adobe Tech Sheet:
    Photoshop CS5 can be run as a 64-bit application on Mac OS, 10.5.7 and higher. Because of the changes that were made to the application, some plug-ins are not available when you run Photoshop CS5 either as a 32-bit or a 64-bit application. To work with these plug-ins, run Photoshop CS5 as a 32-bit application, then when you are done using these plug-ins, return to working in Photoshop CS5 as a 64-bit application.
    If you copy old plug-ins from previous versions of Photoshop, or third-party plug-ins that are not compatible with Photoshop CS5, into Photoshop CS5's Plug-in folder, you may see different problems, such as errors or crashes.
    If you have set the Additional Plug-Ins Folder in the Plug-Ins preferences to a folder, deselect this option, or make sure all the plug-ins in this folder are compatible with Photoshop CS5.
    The easiest way to determine if third-party, old plug-ins, or plug-ins from previous versions of Photoshop are causing problems is to move them all into a new folder called "3rd Party plug-ins."
    If this folder is outside the Photoshop/Plug-Ins folder, you can use the Additional Plug-Ins Folder Plug-In preference to allow Photoshop to access or not access the plug-ins in this folder.
    If this folder is inside the Photoshop/Plug-Ins folder, disable the plug-ins by renaming the folder by putting a tilde (~) as the first character in the folder name.
    Plug-ins not supported by Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS, running in 64-bit mode:
    Lighting Effects
    Extract (Use Refine Mask under the Selection menu)
    Variations
    Web Contact Sheet II (Web Photo Gallery)
    TWAIN support will work on some scanners
    Video Preview
    Send Video Preview to Device
    Embed / Read Watermark
    Firewire
    Firewire DLL
    To run Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS as a 32-bit application, select the Adobe Photoshop CS5 application file, installed by default in the Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5 folder. Choose File > Get Info, and select Open in 32 Bit Mode. Deselect this option to run Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit mode.
    To determine if a plug-in causes an error or crash, remove all old or third-party plug-ins from the Adobe Photoshop CS5 > Plug-Ins folder, and deselect Additional Plug-ins Folder in the Photoshop > Preferences > Plug-Ins preference.

  • Where is the Extract filter in Photoshop 6 beta?

    Seems to nbe missing and no help in help.

    The extract filter was removed in CS4.  Adobe says there are better options.  They prefer edge detection as described below.
    Edge Detection: The Extract filter was left out of CS4, although it was available as a separate install. (Rumor has it that the new Edge Detection feature wasn’t ready for CS4 and was pushed back to CS5.) While the Extract filter got a lot of bad press, it was really due to misuse. Luckily, Photoshop CS5 does a better job than the filter. Selection of complex edges, such as curly hair, has always been a problem. The Edge Detection setting is now part of the Refine Edge and Refine Mask dialogs. The feature is fairly easy to use: make a selection or a layer mask, open the Refine Edge dialog (Select>Refine Edge), and use the Refine Radius tool (E) to brush over the desired area. (There’s an Erase Refinements tool [just press Shift-E] in case you don’t like the results and want to try again.) In addition, there’s a Smart Radius checkbox with a Radius adjustment slider to make selections even easier. This tool makes short work of some tough selections, but it’s not for every image. I found it worked great on some images, but not others. You still might want to bone up on using the image calculations for advanced selections.

  • Where to find the "Extract" filter...?

    Hello community,
    I'm having a funny problem here.... I cannot find the "Extract" filter in my "Filter" menu.... I found out that there is supposed to be a "Goodies" folder on one of the install DVDs, but there isn't. I was able to find the downloads for this (meanwhile) optional filter on adobe.com, but they're only in French, Enlish, and Spanish. However, I use the German version. Clues anyone where I can download the German version? (I tried the English/French/Spanish version, but my German PS CS4 wouldn't accept it...)
    Thanks.
    Hallo Gemeinde,
    ich habe ein eigenartiges Problem hier - ich kann den "Extrahieren"-Filter im "Filter"-Menu nicht finden. Ich habe auf adobe.com die herunterladbare Version dieses zwischenzeitlich als "optional" geführten Filter in der Version English, Spanisch und Französisch gefunden, aber nicht für deutsch (ich benutze die deutsche Version.) Die anderssprachige Version verträgt mein PS CS4 leider nicht... Irgendwelche anderen Lösungen?
    Danke für die Hilfe.

    Alright, for all who are just as blind as I am myself: go here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=39&platform=Macintosh and you'll find all the resources needed for your Mac - not only the German version, but all additional / optional content for (international) versions all the way down to CS2.
    Thanks for bothering anyway...

  • What happened to the Extract filter? (In CS5)

    I just upgraded to PS CS5 (from CS3). Where did they move the Extract filter to?
    Does CS5 have a newer, better way to extract a subject from its background than CS3's extract filter?
    Thanks-

    The Extract filter was eliminated as it has been made utterly obsolete by the new selection techniques in CS5.

  • Where did the "save as" feature go?

    I just opened up a Pages document, after my Lion upgrade.  I want to use the orginal document, make changes and save as a new document.  However, when I clicked on "File" to go to the "Save As," I discovered it is no longer there.  Where is the "Save As" feature now.  This is, obviously, a crucial need.

    Pondini wrote:
    In most cases, though, you don't need a separate file.  Just make a Version with Cmd+S.
    Much faster, and takes up much less space, since it only saves the changes, not the whole document.
    As a work machine processing files, folders, and graphics, in many cases I do, everyday.
    Changing file name and format and still have the original to work with.
    Seems crazy to me.

  • Where did the analogue in feature go?

    Where did the analogue in feature go?
    None of the HD cameras I have searched for have a analogue input. In fact, I have found only one MD camera that has that capability.

    Hello! I said... I want the ability to input analogue video into my camcorder so I can continue to transfer VHS and input and record video from other sources. The new HD cameras on the market will not allow you to record video from any source except for the lens.
    I have HD cable box. I want to record my HD programs from cable (HBO, Starz, etc) to my camera, download the video to my Mac from the camera and then edit them in iMovie and create professional looking movie DVD's in iMovie.
    iMovie HD can work with mini DV HD cameras and HD video. I was not aware of a system requirement for working with HD content.

  • JNI classes to access the Security Filter features of the C API

    Looking for help with managing security filters using the JAPI. Has anyone developed JNI classes to access the Security Filter features of the C API? If so, would you be willing to share your experience and/or code? Time is of the ssence. Thanks in advance for any help.-- Posted for Martin [email protected]@pacbell.net

    Are you talking about the Requirements Gateway?  It is a separate product from NI that will do what you are looking for.  I haven't used it so I am not sure of the API chain to make it work.  Take a look and see if that is what you were thinking of.
    Hope that this helps,
    Bob Young
    Sorry, I just re-read your original post and see that you are looking to also use the Requirements Gateway, so you obviously know about it.  I don't know what the API changes were that made it work so I am not going to be much help.
    Sorry about posting before getting the correct information from the original.

  • Where are the many missing features in Numbers found?

    The more that I use Numbers the less likely that I will ever go through the motions of trying to get Numbers to do enough of the things that have to be done in order for my income tax program to work. Like in another post I have some of my smaller tax forms to say that they are too big to be imported. There seems to be too many missing features to do a useful job.
    This leaves trying to use Numbers to handle new small, small, small spreadsheets. At the present times I have little problem setting up a format for a cell providing the formatting is available. In Excel the easiest way to copy a format to a new cell is to use format painter. Many time copy/paste will work. But copy/paste will move the formula also. I have not been able to find a way to do this with Numbers.
    So far the sliders feature is the one feature that interests me enough to try to use Numbers in the real work handling portion of my business. Many things I want to do either I can't find out how to do them or there are too many added keystrokes needed compared to Excel to make me want to do a spreadsheet in Numbers.
    Since the majority of my spreadsheets do not use a header row or header column I have to get that turned off. Tax sheets have a lot of blank spaces to start things out & normally will be different than the next sheet.
    I used a lot of cell/range names as well as individual cells. I use 450+ cell names in my main Form 1040, A,B,D,NE,IA page. That still leaves me needing to know the row/column designation most of the time. I cannot find where that information is displayed in Numbers.
    I keep looking, but generally do not find the needed feature that I need. Many like the cell designation is so basic. Being able to use the arrow keys to move to a cell for inclusion in a formula is another one that I am unable to do. Using the help files do not come close to answering any question that I have with Numbers. Where is the Numbers, "Missing Manual?" I need what I don't have & may not be made at the current time.
    Like Pages 1.0, Numbers 1.0 doesn’t seem ready for prime time use. There are too many missing features be a very complete spreadsheet. Some I probably can’t find, some probably are not there.
    I need help.

    Documents that you haven't edited can be reverted to the iWork ’09 version by selecting File > Revert To.
    If you have edited the document and want to preserve the edits, you can save it as an iWork ’09 document by selecting File > Export To, then choosing Pages ’09, Numbers ’09, or Keynote ’09.
