Question: How do I remove a part of a picture?

I use Photoshop 6. How to select and remove the part of a photograph to be finally alone the rest of the photograph? I used one of the tools before lasso and I wasn't able to make the move because of a problem of layer.

Hello

To complement the excellent response from Howard, I have a few images to help explain the process.

1. open your image and make sure you have the layer of the photo selected in the layers panel.

2 using the Lasso tool, draw a selection for the part of the photo you want to stand alone.

3. in the top menu, choose layer > New > Layer via Copy or layer via Cut (I'll show you examples of these two options!)

Here is a new layer via copy. The part that cut you is now a new layer, but the original image is always full!

This is the original layer. It's still there in its entirety, you have just a new layer with a copy of your selection sitting above it.

This is a new layer via cut.

Yet once, it creates a new layer with the selection, but this time your original image will have a hole where your selection used to be.

I hope that this has been a nice complement to Howard's response. It is important to ensure that the active layer you have selected is the layer that you want to use the Lasso tool on.

  • Newbie question - how to effectively check if photo is part of the selection

    Hi all

    Sorry for the newbie question, but I do not know how to solve, and I'm sure that there is a quick and easy answer to this:

    My goal is to get all the 'stack heads' (photos with Position 1 in batteries) selection ('photos' below).

    for I have, make photo in ipairs( photos )
    local date = picture:getFormattedMetadata("Filename")

    if Photo:getRawMetadata( "isInStackInFolder" ), then
    - Photo is in a stack
    local photoHeadOfStack = picture:getRawMetadata("topOfStackInFolderContainingPhoto")

    local stackPos = picture:getRawMetadata( "stackPositionInFolder" ), - get the position in the stack
    local photoHeadName = photoHeadOfStack:getFormattedMetadata("Filename")

    app:logVerbose(' Photo nb ^ 1, name ^ 2 is in a stack with the position ^ 3 ', i, date, stackPos"")

    if stackPos == 1 then
    - photo is the master of the battery
    stackTop[#stackTop+1] =photo
    app:logVerbose(' picture ^ 1 is the top of the stack ^ 2 ', date, #stackTop)

    -check if couple if it is correct
    elseif photos. photoHeadOfStack then
    app:logVerbose(' picture ^ 1 is in a stack, but not over the top. ") (Top of the stack already selected", date)

    other
    stackTop[#stackTop+1] =photoHeadOfStack
    app:logVerbose(' picture ^ 1 is in a stack, but not over the top. ") Top of the stack ^ 2 - ^ 3 ", date, #stackTop, photoHeadName)

    end
    end
    end


    In the if structure in the center of the Position in the stack control, if the Position is not 1, I would check if the photo to the stack ("photoHeadOfStack'") is part of the 'pictures '. I tried 'elseif photos.photoHeadOfStack then' and ' elseif photos [photoHeadOfStack] then ' but it doesn't work-> This elseif is never true even if 'photoHeadOfStack' part of the 'photos'.

    Any way to have this check done without checking the photos "manually"? (via e.g. a loop for)

    I'm sure that Lua offers this, but I do not know how...


    Thank you for your support!

        --[[ This code creates "stackTops", an array of LrPhotos that are the
        tops of all the stacks containing photos in the array
        "photos". ]]
    stackTopSet = {}
    for _, photo in ipairs (photos) do
        local stackTop = photo:getRawMetadata ("topOfStackInFolderContainingPhoto")
        if stackTop ~= nil then stackTopSet [stackTop] = true end
        end
    stackTops = {}
    for photo, _ in pairs (stackTopSet) do table.insert (stackTops, photo) end
    
  • How can I remove part of object?

    I think that it is a fairly simple thing to do, but I am a beginner in Illustrator. I am fairly comfortable in Photoshop, so I'll use Photoshop terminology to describe what I'm trying to do in Illustrator:

    Here's what I'm trying to do:

    • I have an object that is a single sheet. It is a vector object and it sits on its own layer.
    • I also have another object which is a perfect circle. This object is filled and it is on a separate layer.
    • I want to create a 'selection' in the shape of this worksheet object
    • I would then like to "expand" the selection of 20 pixels. The idea is to preserve the exact shape of the sheet selection, but make it bigger.
    • I would then like to place this selection of sheet on top of my circle object and remove the part of the circle which is covered by the expanded selection of sheet I created earlier.

    The idea here is to place my sheet on a circle object, but remove the part of the circle covered by the sheet, more than 20 pixels. Basically, I want to create the effect of my sheet through the circle and divide it into two objects of irregular shapes that fit perfectly on the sheet with about 20 pixels of space between the two.

    There may be a better way to create these split two pieces of a circle. Basically, I was working with Photoshop basics here. I discovered the "Knife" tool, but I want to remove the part of the circle exactly in the form of my sheet - only 20 pixel bigger. It seems that the knife tool is free form cutting.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Select the sheet with the selection tool.

    If you want to keep the original sheet, duplicate sheet and in the transform Panel, enter + 20px after pruning.

    The position of the leaf on the circle as you wish.

    Select the sheet and circle. Click on Pathfinder, less before.

  • Fundamental question: how to rasterize a part of the picture at a specific size?

    How can you rasterize a part of an image in a specific size / resolution - say, 1080 x 1920 @ 300 dpi?

    Illustrator does simply not like that. If your goal is a specific pixel dimension, then you must go to 72 dpi.

    You must calculate the dimensions in pixels compared to this. But then you might find yourself with dimensions that are not whole pixels.

  • double job with firefox (i.e.2) icons are on the i - mac toolbar. How can I remove one of these icons?

    Duplicate (i.e.2) icons have appeared on my toolbar of the i - Mac in Firefox. How can I remove one of these icons, please? Delete Firefox!
    Have you tried the method Apple 'recommended', i.e. parts dragging one of these icons and cares for her... then the copy of the icon should disappear. But it does not... .the duplicate icon then a few 'jumps' back on my toolbar at the bottom of the screen.

    Have also tried the key 'command' and then by dragging the icon desired and holding to it... but the same thing happens... compare to disappear, the icon "just jump" back to my toolbar.
    Would be grateful for any help and advice on the above. Thank you in anticipation of your help.

    The only time I see two icons for a Mozilla application in the dock is when I have to restart after installing an extension or a new theme. The additional icon disappears if I restart again. I have an extension that gives me a reset button to use. There is an add-on for Firefox that can give you a reset button, if you care to try this remedy.
