How do I get the circles to go away and the refine edge tool to work as advertised? If I can't find a good tutorial video, perhaps I'll record my own little demo Tom, would you please take a screenshot of the entire Photoshop application window when these "NO" circles appear? I find the refine edge tool so counter-intuitive that it makes me want to scream. I m willing for it to be user error but it is still really complex with its contingencies.
Please share the love with me. I have no idea if you will still get this! Is this you?? I think we met at the Adobe Photoshop Users group! I hope this is you.
I am still having the same problem, I want to get to know this tool desperately. I did a screen grab but the universal "NO" symbol did not render in the screenshot. It comes up instead of the tooltip live when I am trying to edit. Snow leopard. Something is going on or set or something that does not want to let me use this tool. I tried dropping down from 16 bit to 8 but but alas no cigar. Could it be colorspace? I am stumped. Time to trash the prefs? I wonder if you will still get this.
I am attaching photo at the bottom of this thread. Look at the fellows forehead. I had to shoot a photo off the screen to get this. Tom Upton PhotoTainer tom phototrainer. I like doing extractions, most of what I photograph is motorcycles and other stuff that is in a busy background, there's just some stuff you can't do in a controlled inviroment. In my opinion CS5 sucks at doing extractions. With the old extraction fiter I was able to do a good job with motorcycles, including the spokes!
There's no way with CS5 you can do spokes. Please come up with something. Is there a plug-in that I can buy from anywhere? This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Extractions.

How to use both together for the best results. Feb Posted by richmediadp. If you know your way around Photoshop, I have developed a short tutorial on photoshop image extraction. The tutorial relays a few tips to show you how to use Photoshop image extraction to improve images from a stock library or other resource. I have been asked many times on how to extract an image from its background using Photoshop.
Basically, this particular is the easiest procedure if all the parameters or the situations is set up so that you can do it. If you are a beginner, this is the perfect tutorial for you. If you are an expert, or you are pretty knowledgeable this is not the tutorial for you.
I am going to show you how to take out a background and replace it with a new one. This is the background and this is Diana, the statue.
I chose this specifically for this tutorial because it actually is the easiest way to do this extraction. Here we have two contrasting situations here, Diana and a black background. And to be perfectly honest with you, I am pretty sure that this one was pre-designed by another Photoshop person who extracted the background, the black…did some touching up down here and made it look like it was part of the background.
All in all, this was actually a perfect example of something that I could use for this tutorial. And all there is to it…. You go up here to this third tool which is called the magic wand, and if you notice it was already preselected, and if not, you can go up here to this menu which will allow you to pick it. There it is, the magic wand tool. Select it. Go up here and see if the tolerance is at So, here you see the artifact that I was talking about.
You see it over here, on the right side. I said 10 but I meant So…I think we can live with that. I would say that I can actually add another part to this tutorial. This means that if you select it,,by holding down your option key, selecting…it will include it. So, what you want to do, is decide if you want to exclude or include. In this case, I want to exclude. So, I undo the last tool that I just did up there.
And then I press the shift key, and it becomes a plus. Now I can exclude the background by going down here and just cutting into this picture. I mean, I can actually go out of this picture and back around. And notice that it is now including that part that I just selected. And there we have the background selected pretty snugly. Now if I wanted to, I could actually do some checking to see if the edges are all cleared or snuggling up to the image.
And, I can see that it is pretty close except about right about here where the arm is.
