NancyL Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Is there an easy way to remove the shadow from an object? I'm taking pictures of items need to make the background transparent but when I erase the shadow little lines still show????

cjmcguinness Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Nancy, Are you trying to remove trace of shadows cast ON an object or behind/below an object? Would you be able to post one or two example pictures with explanations of what elements you are trying to remove. -CJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 Yes, I'm trying to earse a shadow from the item. I need the item to almost look like it is floating within the white background. We will be using the pictures for a brochure. I used the magic wand and got the checkerboard background and they look pretty good but not good enough.

Bob Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 :DuplicateLayer: Duplicate layer Magic Wand Blur it ( :ZoomBlur: , :GaussianBlur: or :MotionBlur:) And put the :Down: duplicated layer under the other one.

Bob Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Ack, in fact I'm totally wrong. Edit: Try without the last line. the "put the layer under the other one". Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob.

NancyL Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 Thanks! I'll give it a try! I just started on this today and haven't had much time to work with it. The layers thing is confusing but I'll work at it. You much spend hours and hours on this! How creative! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 I just don't get how the layers work????? I click on layer, a box comes up at the bottom of my screen and then I'm lost!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
