Hide a complex image in CS5 with improve the contour and other tools

I tried to use the edge of tweaking with masking feature. I watched the videos. But none that deal with images like these. I've done several of them in the end years and alsways upwards using the background Eraser and spend a lot of time on them to cut out the background.

I want to be able to use the new tools in CS5, but I get to a point and then have meet up with other tools to finish the job. Is there an easier way to finish? Where are the thin green and thin green parties. I work with larger images, but this is just to show you what I'm working with.

With images like above, you could make the selection using your strings instead of the quick selection tool.

For example, to duplicate the red channel for your first image, using levels and tools brush or dodge on the duplicated channel to create a section.

Load the selection of that channel, then use refine edge.

  • In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like the brush etc.). I can't understand how to disable.

    In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like the brush etc.). Whenever I try to use a tool, a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click on it to handle, which opens just this line in a screen finery semi where all other objects are semi-gris in the background. I can handle this line in this screen, but nothing else at this point I could do 5 minutes ago. For example, I can no longer reach the 2 lines drawn by the tool online together. For some reason, it started randomly (probably due to an accidental combination) and I just can't put it to what it was. I inserted a video showing if all goes well I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

    Object drawing mode. Simply disable it in the tools Panel, or by using the default keyboard shortcut, which is J.

  • Images of CS5 with Canon Raw (CR2)

    I just installed a copy of Adobe photoshop on my 2008 (or ' 09) MacBook Pro. I got this message...

    I installed Adobe DNG Converter 9.2recommend it.

    This does not solve the problem. I get the same message when you try to import or to start a project of CS5 with an image of CR2.

    CS5 cannot manage an image of CR2 format a Canoon 70 d or I need a new version of Photoshop?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    [email protected]

    Camera Raw 8.2 requires CS6, your only option, apart from the purchase of a newer version, is the DNG Converter.

    Simply install the converter DNG is not to convert your raw files.

    You must run it on a folder containing your cr2 files, which will be converted to DNG, which you can open in Camera Raw. (your CR2 files remain intact)

    The converter works only at the folder level, you can not convert individual files. (you cannot yet see in the interface until you click on convert)

    Before using the converter, click Preferences and set the compatibility to Camera Raw 6.6 and later versions.

    But to get the most out of your photos, I recommend you upgrade Photoshop CC.

  • New user - need tips to improve the performance and graphics ability

I downloaded by Reallusion CrazyTalk and software is lagging terribly, and the image is blurry. The Forum of CrazyTalk, they recommend updating graphics drivers to fix blurry images. On the NVIDIA site, when I asked her to automatically detect the driver update, it says none is available for my computer (my Mac).

    Question: They have updates driver for Windows... When I am running Windows via Fusion, should I different graphics drivers than those on my Mac?  If so, means that I need another graphics card?  * Of course I'm not super technical. **

    I have attached a screenshot of my info/display of charts:

    In addition, molten, I increased the RAM to 3 GB (3000 MB), but it has not improved the situation.

    CrazyTalk allows the user to make a photo 'talk '... It is lively and contains the audio.  I usually save files as uncompressed reviews that are about 4 GB in size (when I worked directly on a PC) but today to test it's obviously "too much" for this system.  (It would have probably been about 2 GB). So I recorded a MP4 (3.7 MB), which has always been a time loooooooong to save - 30 minutes.

    Welcome to the Fusion community.

    Question: They have updates driver for Windows... When I am running Windows via Fusion, should I different graphics drivers than those on my Mac?  If so, means that I need another graphics card?

    Your don't need another graphics card.  By necessity, VMware can pass through native graphics of your iMac to any guest including Windows operating system.  VMware provides its own graphic adapter of substitute (WDDM 3D) or VMware SVA II, with its own pilots.  Apple takes care to provide you with the latest drivers for OS X, you will never have to download all the drivers directly from the graphics vendors.  Details about the virtual hardware and its differences of capacity are covered in the FAQs on VMware Fusion

    Regarding the VMware graphics drivers who are in the VMware tools and are supported if you have installed Windows 7 using Windows Easy install feature in the new computer Wizard.  If you do not use Windows Easy Install (or don't remember), the icon of blue squares of VMware in the system tray is a Visual indicator, they are installed.  But you can confirm the video adapter by using the Control Panel, search for display > change display settings > advanced settings to look at your graphics card.  For Win7, the default value is VMware SVGA 3D.

    Whenever you want to refresh the VMware drivers you can select Virtual Machine > install VMware Tools to install or run the option repair after the Welcome screen.

    In addition, molten, I increased the RAM to 3 GB (3000 MB), but it has not improved the situation.

    Based on the requirements of CrazyTalk6 system I could find, you do not need to allocate as much RAM (3 GB).  Depending on your other needs Windows 7, 1 GB to 2 GB would be better, based on your host, the RAM size.

    Pentium IV 2 GHz or higher recommended

    512 MB of RAM or more recommended

    1 GB space drive or higher recommended

    Duplex Sound Card/VGA Card/keyboard/mouse/Microphone/Speaker

    Display resolution: 1024 x 768 or higher

    Video memory: 128 MB RAM or higher recommended

    Windows 7 / Vista / XP SP2

    Internet Explorer 6 or higher, Firefox 2 or higher

    DirectX 9 and WMEncoder 9 are required to export WMV

    Recommended hardware:

    CPU dual core or higher recommended

    1 GB of RAM or more recommended

    Hard drive 2 GB or more recommended

    Video memory: 256 MB RAM or higher recommended

    Things to try:

    The 3D Aero interface may impose the virtual graphic adapter, then you could try to disable that by getting the properties of the desktop background, choose Customize and change the theme of Windows 7 Basic.

    More radically, you can stop the virtual machine and disable 3D graphics in the VM > settings > display > uncheck "Accelerate 3D graphics."  This will cause Windows 7 use the legacy VMware SVGA II adapter.  The oldest non - 3D adapter looks like it meets the system requirements but requiring DirectX 9 encoding for WMV exporting.   If you save without video compression, that may be OK.  If the non - 3D adapter does not meet requirements, I am sure that the program will display.

  • With EM data masking and other utilities of security features available within the DB package

    Hello

    Please let me know your experience of the difference between EM data masking Pack and other security elements such as writing, available in the database Vault.

    Kind regards

    VN

    Hide data are used when you have to clone the database of production for developers. Its purpose is to sensitive data mask in the clone database and you can use several formats of masking (numbers random, random strings, shuffle of data, etc.).

    The masking process is irreversible. (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e41481/tdm_data_masking.htm#RATUG04000)

    Writing of data (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/network.112/e40393/redaction.htm#ASOAG596)

    "Starting Oracle 11 g Release 2 (11.2.0.4) database, Oracle data writing allows you to hide (delete) data that are queried by applications or limited users." Drafting occurs in real-time when users query the data. Drafting of data Oracle is part of the Oracle Advanced security features. »

    In a nutshell, you create a policy of writing for a table using DBMS_REDACT package that will redact (mask) data for some users - depending on your political - select.

    For example, a group of users will not be able to view credit card numbers (1234 5678 1235 5690-> * * * 5690). Please note that the data are not hidden within the table.

    Database Vault is used to restrict powerful users (users with system privileges) to access some objects (and not only). Please see the DEMO on this link ( Oracle Database Vault |) Oracle database | (Oracle ) "

  • improve the WCS and WCC integration / sync activity

    Hi all

    We have WCS integrated with WCC as backend storage of content. We use the STANDARD connector for integration between these 2 products suites. On check in content to the WCC, she undergoes life-cycle activities normal document and then contentid is placed in the queue of the integration table. Queue information will be collected and WCS will be synchronized with the information in document OWCC.

    This whole process takes longer (approximately more than 1 min) and users are not able to find the documents that they created immediately.

    Let know what steps can help solve or improve this performance. We did the analysis and concluded that unless the State of the document is PUBLISHED in the OWCC, information will not be placed in the queue table and synchronization of content is getting delayed.

    Indications will be very useful.

    The OOTB 'connection' is a polling station synchronization process (heart draws OWCC). It is not realistic to expect, it is a process in real time.   It can be as fast as the slowest part of the process - if you want Sites to poll more frequently change the "timing" in the system events. The desire to increase the frequency of audit of heart - but this will solve is not the question of the time it takes to the WCC from "creation of loan".

    If you want it to be more 'real-time', you need to create your own 'connection '.

    The folks over at Function1 and BezzoTech (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVTS--OS78o) has created an interesting link where 'Document' is actually created in the OWCS UI and then automatically pushed in WCC and Sites 'at the same time;

  • How to resize an image using PIXELS to define the width and height?

    I need make my image a certain number of pixels wide and high.  When I resize image I can't change the area that shows the pixels of width and height, and when I drop down lists it does not give option pixels.  When I choose "points" and "Pica" they are obviously not other names for the pixels because the given number is not the number of pixels above.  I used to be able to do it EASILY in elements 2.0, my previous version of elements.  I am now using 8.0.

    In fact, I just realized that nothing that I in image resize will change the number of pixels at ALL in question.  Size and pixel per inch are locked permanently in relationship to each other.  I had to download a new version not long because my computer hard drive has failed, and I think they changed the things that work so not now, because I would have noticed it before now if it's that way when I downloaded originally from that.  I begin to fear that I'll have to kludge with the crop tool, even if the resizing of the image SHOULD be able to.
