Isolate an image with a shadow

I often have images taken on a white background that I need to place on the chart. However, I like leaving the shadows.  For years my workflow is to place the two versions of the same image in Illustrator/inDesign; one is the image on the white background, multiply the value, the other is an isolated version that I align the multiplied image.

You guys how it so that I can do with a file?

It is a sample of what I'm trying to do (less isolated version covered on top)

Speakers.jpg

  1. Unlock the background layer
  2. Select the Subwoofers with the pen tool
  3. Switch the layers panel in traces
  4. Make the choice of the work path
  5. CTRL or Cmd + J to duplicate the selected part
  6. Go back to the layer 0
  7. Layers panel selector channels
  8. Find the channel that creates darker shadow
  9. CTRL + click or Cmd + click the thumbnail of the channel to select
  10. CTRL + SHIFT + I to select reverse
  11. Switch to layers.
  12. Create a new layer
  13. Add a layer mask
  14. Fill the new layer with black (this will be your shadow)
  15. Select the layer shadow and subwoofer
  16. Use the move tool to drag layers to a new document (new background)
  17. Use a levels adjustment (a layer of setting levels cannot be used) to refine the mask of the shadow layer
  18. The mask of feathers slightly, if necessary
  19. Use the brush on the layer mask tool to remove any halo dark, resulting from the pen.

This should be the result:

A curves adjustment layer could be used instead of the layer of black filling (with the same layer mask). However, the layer of black filling can be used without a background, such as a transparent PNG for web use.

I hope this helps!

  • Problem with in shadow on the text on another object

    Hello!

    See the attachment on the following link https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21034413/TEST_PROBLEM.indd.


    I try to give the effect of outer glow on the text that goes on a white rectangle; in the real case, it is an image with a white background. As you can see, the shadow effect does not apply on parties going on the rectangle. I can't know which configuration it is this influence.

    Thanks in advance and best wishes,
    Max

    Change the blending mode to multiply wants to make glow to display on the filling [paper], but perhaps other side effects as well.

  • Multiple images with the same file name no doubt prevent export

    iMac running OS X El Capitan v10.11.6; Photos 1.5

    I'm trying to export approximately 331 images and I get an error report saying that only 169 of the exported images due to the inability to create files for 159 of the images.  Then the report gives me the names of files of the first 100 images for which files were not created.  After looking at many images that would not create a file, I realized that, in any case, there was at least one, if not several, other images with the SAME EXACT FILE name as the image in question.  I can't change the names of files by right click on "info".  I tried to export the images and change the names of files to export using the sequential option and the option of album name - always having exactly the same problem.  I even tried not to export an image at once and change the name of the file individually or no available. Is there a work around that? I desperately need to export those specific images. I am trying to create a photo album for shown to mothers who choose a family with which you want to place their child/ren for adoption. I'm at my wit's end.  The kicker is I'm moving towards trying to export all my pictures, and that's going to be a HUGE problem in course for me, so I really hope that there is a way around this question somewhat simply. I am a hobby photographer and use the computer for businesses and crafts.  I've seen a few posts that included answers referencing "AppleScript" - I have no idea how to do something like that.

    From here on I will DEFINITELY ensure that my Canon continually numbers the names of image files and automatically resets.  For the other photos other than Canon, is possible to rename images during the import of the lot?

    All advice and help will be GREATLY appreciated!

    Finder has the ability to rename files with various models of lot.  Simply select all the files to rename, right-click one of the selected files, choose 'Rename X points... '. ", and then set the options and click on the button"Rename ".

  • Whenever I have download an image with the command "save the image under...". ", it records in a useless file of 168 bits.

    As stated, whenever I have download an image with the command "save image under" he recorded in a useless file of 168 bits. This does not happen everytime I have save an image, but more often the not, and I don't have a lot of useless files hang out because of this. Is it possible to re - download each image 168 bits that he should have been downloaded in the first place? Is it possible to ensure that this does not happen?

    This means that you are not allowed to do this action.
    The site could use a transparent overlay image to protect the actual image or otherwise has put in place a protection.

  • Masking an image with a shape from Keynote for the iPad?

    I am actually writing an article in support for a Web site and it does not seem you can mask an image with a shape from Keynote for iPad - something that is incredibly easy to do in the version of OS X. Clues on how to achieve this in the iOS version of Keynote?

    Thank you.

    Nevermind, I found the answer - all we need to do is add the image AND form of the slide, then select both at the same time. One of the choices that is displayed in the context menu is "mask with shape.

  • How can I import an image with transparent background .png in the Vision Assistant?

    Hello

    I am using the Vision Assistant of NOR. Here, I want to overlay one existing image with another. Therefore, I use the overlay Installer where can I import a .png image. If I do, I don't get

    the transparent background of the back of the image, even, I was saved with a transparent background. The image is displayed with an orange background.

    If I import the same image to any front panel for example, I see the picture on the right path with a transparent background. What I've done wrong? I have attached the image I want to use.

    Thank you

    Hello! Don't know how to do this in the Vision Assistant. Try to use the overlay (bitmap) or convert your image into mask. Effect of transparency not supported in the Vision. What you can do in LabVIEW is something like this:

  • Acquisition of images with 3 USB cameras causing too many uses of the memory/cpu

    Dear experts,

    I'm trying to capture images with 3 cameras USB, located in 3 different positions. I have to initialize each cameras using USB list vi camera when switching between cameras. I realize that, by making this method causing too many uses of the memory/cpu and can cause CPU hang up. If I stop the program, the memory/cpu counter are down.

    Do you know how to reduce this problem.

  • Saving binary Image with overlay?

    Hello

    I'm having some trouble in saving an image with overlay information. I use IMAQ find circles to measure the rays of the holes in a binary image. Hole data is then used with oval Overlay IMAQ, draw on ovals to highlight detected circles. Works very well and the image is displayed as expected in the output of the image on the screen, the palette has the binary value. (See the second image of 3, below)

    When I try and save the image in PNG I just get a blank image (black). If I use the overlay IMAQ merge tool, I just get the green circles on the black (see the last picture of 3 below). Is there something I'm missing with pallets/fusion? Any help much appreciated. Snapshot of the (messy) code attached.

    The problem is that the binary image is all zeros and ones.  A normal image goes up to 255, so the value 1 appears black.

    One solution is to multiply the binary image of 255, which makes the image black and white.

  • Rolling/down shifiting image with low level acquisition of VI

    Hello

    I do image with low level VI acquisition acquisition. The series of captured images appear as an image rolling/down shift. Each image is captured moves down again and again. If frame 1 a row of pixels is 0 when the row wherever the 100 frame is captured rank 1 is at line 100, giving the impression of the image slowly moving down.

    I enclose a small program through which I am able to reproduce the problem. The help of a 1426 PCI capture card and an impressive camera (double IPX-2M30H-L).

    Can someone tell me please what is wrong with this program and how I could fix this?

  • My laptop computer system with a shadow bios

    When I turn on my laptop it shows system information... RAM, Intel R... forfit
    in the system info is also SYSTEM BIOS with a SHADOW... after information on the system, it will automatically start the network boot
    I try to start it manually but it stops to the loading of files in format
    It crashed when I was installimg a theme
    Operating system is Windows Xp

    First of all, I wasn't trying to insinuate that you were an amateur. Let's please try to stay on the right track here.

    Your video identifies the problem. Your hard drive is either disconnected or is dead. The video shows clearly that there is no hard drive detected. That's why he's trying to boot from the network.

    In addition, the reason for which that your computer loses all the diagnostic tests when you start is because you "QuickBoot" disabled in the bios as described below.

    Check the connections on the hard drive to make sure they are properly attached. If they are, then you should see the replacement of the hard disk.
