removing text from images...
|

| daakcyde 2004-12-22, 11:14 pm |
| hi,
a friend recently let me d/l his photoshop (version 7.0) and i have
been tinkering with images since then... one thing that i would really
like to do is edit existing album and magazine covers, but the problem
with these items is the tendency for them to have a lot of text that
tends to cover important parts of the image... does photoshop have any
way around this, i.e. possibly a way to remove the text? i know about
the layer properties, but the images i get from the internet all seem
to have all of the information contained in one layer (the background)
an example of a pic i would like to edit would be this one
www.lyred.com/covers/ mos_def_-_black_star.jpg
i like the red-to-green underlying color change, the wood motif and
the way the faces are integrated into the image, but the words are
right in the image.... is there possibly any way i could remove them
while preserving the underlying information? any help would be greatly
appreciated... also if anyone could recommend some good photoshop
tutorials that would be swell as well... thanx

Jpegs never have layers.
Your link doesn't work, but I would say only that the Rubber Stamp
(clone) tool is a place to start. But if text is covering something
vital, that thing is gone and you have to draw it back in somehow; no
way around it.
I would also mention that you are using an illegal copy of Photoshop.

The option to remove type is 'sticky' - that is, it stays with the computer
from which Photoshop was stolen. Can't be recovered. Yer SOL.

Of course, you can remove text from images. Have you thought about
what you';re going to put in the letter-shaped holes left behind?

The "Remove Text" plugin was in the Plugin directory on your friend's
computer. He should have given it to you.
Too bad.

The Ingenuity Tool works great for things like this. Turn it all the way
up.

In the update it is all software based. No hardware. You are old-school.

Sure, sure. The software version has wear-bits. The more often you load the
program, the more worn the bits get. Eventually that new 'soft'ware needs
the Viagra plugin. See how it goes?

Now you are just being silly. The Viagra Plugin does not work on a Mac.
It's a girl.

Go to "image" "rotate canvas" "flip horizontal". Now you see on the
backside of the image with the text facing the monitor. Take a snap of
what you see with a digital camera. It will contain just the image
background without the text. Load the snapshot, flip it again and,
voila, you are done. Photoshop is that easy if you get a clue.

I wonder if, from the other replies, you are yet getting the idea that not a
great deal of help is forthcoming for those who steal rather than
legitimately purchase their software?
Thanks for listening.

| If anyone with a legit copy wants to try an ingenious method of removing
text, Dan Margulis has a chapter available on the web at
http://www.ledet.com/margulis/LABCorrection.pdf which includes just such a
trick. Look for the explanation on page 4 of the images on page 2. This
chapter was written before the release of the PS Repair tool.

Not that easy. It binds with the eprom and stays with the original
installation computer. You need a chip puller. The Remove Text option is
bundled with the Remove Clothes plugin. Jeeze, be careful and don't get it
cross-compiled with your web-cam.
