I finally wrapped my head around the Erase blend mode and WOW! It has revolutionized a common workflow of removing the white background of a "still life" shot while keeping the original shadows intact.
The new flow (as seen in the video) is to mask the subject, duplicate the subject layer with no mask, group with a black fill layer underneath, set Erase blend mode and tweak the curve for levels. Further touch ups can be done by adjusting the group transparency (or even adding an additional mask or manually touching up the Erasing layer.) Export to PNG.
I want to turn off the TV in the attached photo. Blacking out most of the screen is easy but can anyone suggest the best way to blend the dog's hair into the newly black screen? I've had mediocre results with Gaussian Blur and Smudge. Liquify seems to have some promise but I can't figure out how to use it properly. Perhaps it's a matter of using these tools in a certain way, or techniques for using them that will improve the results I get? I know it's hard to do this perfectly. Thanks for any tips. Note, the attached is a very small version of the photo. The actual photo I will be editing is much larger and you can make out individual hairs in front of the screen. Like I said, I'm not looking for perfection, but the results I'm getting with these tools look really amateur. Also, this is my first forum post so apologies if I've not interpreted all the rules correctly. I shrunk my image and searched for an answer before posting. Hopefully my head can remain attached to my body now.
Cut out the upper left corner include the screen around dogs head so that the underlying layer become visible. Use the eraser for finetunig the cut on the fur and then use Smudging Plugin for some new strands of hair.
QUESTION: You know how you can set transparency of an entire layer? What I'd love is a "partial eraser" i.e. controllable transparency pen that only works inside the selected area. Is there such a thing? That would combine nicely with the magic wand to blend the black screen into the blue areas around the hair. Then I could use FurBlur to paint hair back over the black/blue blended areas.
You can blend objects to create and distribute shapesevenly between two objects. You can also blend between two openpaths to create a smooth transition between objects, or you cancombine blends of colors and objects to create color transitionsin the shape of a particular object.
If you blend between one object painted with a process colorand another object painted with a spot color, the blended shapesare painted with a blended process color. If you blend between twodifferent spot colors, process colors are used to paint the intermediatesteps. If, however, you blend between tints of the samespot color, the steps are all painted with percentages of the spotcolor.
If you blend between two instances of the same symbol, blendedsteps will be instances of that symbol. If, however, you blend betweentwo instances of different symbols, the blended steps will not besymbol instances.
By default, blends are created as knockout transparency groups,so that if any of the steps consist of overlapping transparent objects,these objects will not show through each other. You can change thissetting by selecting the blend and deselecting Knockout Group inthe Transparency panel.
To blend to a specific anchor point on an object,click the anchor point with the Blend tool. When the pointer isover an anchor point, the pointer changes from a white square totransparent with a black dot in its center.
Lets Illustrator auto-calculate the number of steps for the blends.If objects are filled or stroked with different colors, the stepsare calculated to provide the optimum number of steps for a smoothcolor transition. If the objects contain identical colors, or ifthey contain gradients or patterns, the number of steps is basedon the longest distance between the bounding box edges of the twoobjects.
Controls the distance between the steps in the blend. The distancespecified is measured from the edge of one object to the corresponding edgeon the next object (for example, from the rightmost edge of oneobject to the rightmost edge of the next).
I'm very excited about the new Scalado Remove App for Android/iPhone. Let's say you're taking a picture of your friend in front of a landmark with several people walking by. The app allows you to remove the people from the photo, leaving only the background and your friend. The app isn't just doing a clone of the surrounding image to paint over unwanted subjects. It's actually taking multiple images, detecting which objects are moving, and letting you select them for removal. This sounds awesome! But I don't want to be limited to taking pictures with a smart phone.
I would like to take multiple photos of the same scene. (Maybe with a tripod, but it would be better if I didn't have to use a tripod.) Then I would somehow blend them together to remove unwanted elements. How do I do that? I know there are tons of photoshop tutorials out there, but all the ones I find just tell you how to use the clone tool.
The demo illustrates that a process to remove from or move a complex object such as a person in a digital photo and to seamlessly patch the background now takes a matter of seconds. In the past, to achieve this quality of editing would require a lot of experience in Photoshop and a considerable amount of time.
Photo Background Cut out is an image editing app that lets you remove unwanted objects, people, and backgrounds from any photo or picture. The resulting cut-out images can be used as stamps or backgrounds for other photos.
When you blend layers you can achieve a similar result using the Dissolve blending mode instead of the Normal one: pixels of the composite image are a random pick in either layer weighted by the opacity of the top layer.
I tried the magic select tool to select the white background, and I also tried the magic select tool with the shift key pressed to select all the white by color, I tried adjusting the tolerance; but I always am ending up with either very thin white border around the black text, or if I adjust tolerance, some of the black taken away making the text skewed.
Paint.net has a tool Magic Wand that select uni-color part, select with it and pres del. At the end don't forget to save as png. For blur parts you need to clear it zooming the image and use the eraser to remove manually the blurred parts
The plugin calculates deviation from a single RGB color, which in your case should be solid black, and applies that deviation as alpha channel variation to a solid image of the chosen color. As a result you should see your logo perfectly extracted and blended from the white background. It works with color images and other color pairs as well, but obviously the result is much different. If you have existing alpha values in the image, you can blend the alphas together. But I don't think it is the case for this question.
Blending Modes control how one layer interacts with the layer below. That's it. Chances are good that you've already played around with blending by changing layer opacity. Remember how the layer became see-through and you saw what was on the layer below? That's blending. Instead of making the whole layer see-through, you can use Blend Modes to control exactly which areas (or colors, rather) of an image blend or mix with whatever is on the layer below, and which ones don't.
The Blending Mode menu is divided into several sections (illustrated below), according to what each mode does. They're pretty easy to memorize, as the first mode in each section is usually named after what it does. For example, Darken is the first mode in the section that will darken the underlying image. Remember, it's all about comparing two layers and then blending them together depending upon the colors found on each.
For example, to combine the images below you might be tempted to select and then delete (or mask) the white background of the crazy man, then place the sunburst on a layer below him. That would work, but a faster method would be to use Blending Modes instead.
Since the starburst image is darker than the background of the crazy man image (which is where I want the starburst to end up), I can place the starburst at the top of the layers stack and change its Blending Mode to Darken. Thus combining the two images perfectly in one fell swoop:
Since the crazy man's right cheek and hand are lighter than the sunburst background, those areas of color remained. To fix it, simply add a layer mask to the sunburst layer and paint those areas with black (because in the realm of the layer mask, painting with black hides).
