![]() Draw a box around the object and Photoshop will select the object for you. In the toobox, choose the Select Object tool (Photoshop 21.0.0 and later), it’s tucked in with the Magic Wand tool. The tool usually doesn’t get it perfect, but that’s okay - you can refine the selection in the next step.Īlternately, if the photo has more than one subject and you only want to select one object, you can use the Select Object tool. The process takes a few seconds, but Photoshop will then roughly select the subject of the photo using artificial intelligence. Photoshop’s Select Subject tool offers an easy start to background removal. Here are the basic steps to putting these tools to work. The lasso, Select Subject, and Select and Mask tools work better for removing a more complex background and are where much of Photoshop’s hidden power resides. Just place the selection over what you want to keep, then follow steps four and six below. The rectangular and elliptical marquee tool will work if you want to select an object that’s a perfect rectangle or perfect circle. This tool can also be used to remove an object from a current selection. You draw a rough outline to indicate which object, and Photoshop A.I. The Select Object tool uses artificial intelligence to select the boundaries of an object. You may need to repeat this if there are multiple sections of background divided by portions of the object you’re trying to cut out. With a logo on a white background, for example, all you have to do is click on a white area to select it, then hit delete to clear it away. The magic wand tool will select all the pixels with a similar color. If you are working with an image on a background with a lot of contrast, such as a dark object on a light background or a single-color logo, the selection process is a bit simpler.įor this tutorial, we’re assuming you’re working with something a little more difficult - because if you can remove a busy background, you can remove any background, and even if you are working with a white or solid color background, you can save some time by familiarizing yourself with Photoshop’s different selection tools. But which one of Photoshop’s several selection tools is best for the task? That depends on the image. Making a background transparent involves selecting what you want to keep and deleting what you don’t. How to manually remove in Photoshop Choosing a Photoshop selection tool Once you are happy with the results, you can delete the background layer and save the file as a PNG in order to maintain the transparency, or as a PSD in order to come back and make more adjustments later. With the mask selected, use a white paintbrush to add to the subject, and the black paintbrush to erase any pieces of the background that were not removed. If the result is close, but not quite perfect, click on the mask that Photoshop created automatically (the black-and-white image in the layers panel). If it doesn’t work for you, move on to the manual method below. This quick method works great for some photos, with laughable results for others. If you don’t see that transparent background, make sure your background layer is hidden. Once the program is finished, you should see the subject on a transparent background (designated by the checkered pattern). You’ll need to wait a few minutes for the program to find the subject and remove the background. Under Quick Actions, click on Remove Background. If you don’t see the Properties Panel, click on the icon that looks like this: In the Properties panel on the right, navigate to the Quick Actions section. From here, you’ll be working only with the new layer you just created. In the layers panel, click on the eye icon next to the background layer in order to hide the background. Select the entire photo (command + A on MacOS or Control + A on Windows) and copy and paste. Start by copying the background layer in order to create the type of layer Photoshop needs to use the tool. Before you start, make sure you have Photoshop 2020, version 21.0.0 or later - if not, you’ll need to update the software first. The shortcut won’t get it right every time, but works well for simple images, and for others, can easily be refined. Photoshop 2020 comes with a new background removal shortcut that’s powered by the Select Subject tool.

The semi-circle is another nod to the depth of your drawing, as the frog’s eyes are on either side of the face. Next, draw a semi-circle just to the right of your first circle, resting on top of your head’s oval. We will now move away from ovals, and instead draw a sizable circle inside the head’s oval, more to the left than in the middle. There is nothing more life-giving than the eyes of your subject. Use your imagination to choose how your frog will look. It is your choice as to which gets the curvier line – the feet or the hands. In our example, the lines from the arms are curvier than the back leg’s lines. There should be two lines coming from the arm and three lines from the hindleg in the foreground. Starting with light construction lines, draw some curvy lines protruding from the front and back legs. If you look at a frog’s feet and hands, you will see that they are webbed to allow for easy swimming. This next step might seem daunting at first, but we will show you how simple it is. If you look at your compilation of ovals, you should be able to see the beginnings of the shape of a frog. The front hindleg should be a bit smaller than the oval for the head. ![]() The head’s oval will face the same direction as that of the body and should be of a similar width, fitting in nice and snugly. In this next step, you will be able to see where the frog’s head starts and its body continues. ![]() Its size must fall somewhere in-between that of the two ovals for the back legs, and it must come out of the middle of the body’s oval.Ī frog’s head can be confusing because there is no neck like in a lot of other animals. If you take a look at our example, you will see that the oval for the arm is facing the other direction, but it is also narrow. While there are two ovals for the two hindlegs, you will only need to draw one oval for the arm as only one arm is visible. Once you become a skilled frog drawer, you can start to change the angle the frog is facing, in which case there might be a need for two ovals. This is a good way to show depth in your drawing, taking it from a two-dimensional image to one that is three-dimensional.ĭue to the angle of our frog drawing, we are only going to add one of its arms, not both. Next, draw the back leg in the foreground of the drawing – the one closest to the viewer. It must be just less than double the size of the smaller oval you drew for the hind leg at the back.Draw a smaller oval, as you see in the example below, leaning the same way as the original oval you drew for the body.Both legs will need to be carefully proportioned, particularly the back leg on the far end of the frog, which is obscured by the body. This might be a bit tricky, so follow carefully. Your second step is to add in the plan for the back legs. ![]() Make sure that you have space on either side of the circle for more detail – we suggest placing it in the middle if you are new at this. How big you would like your frog to be will determine the size of your slanted oval. In the case of frog drawing, the oval you draw must be slanted at an angle. If you followed our tutorial on how to draw a human skull, you might remember that the base of drawing any animal (yes, humans are animals) is an oval. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was published in Creative Nonfiction Issue 33 and in Silence Kills: Speaking Out and Saving Lives.

The instructor, Lee Gutkind, told me not to publish for the sake of publishing, but to publish well. My writing life began in 2005 when I received a fellowship to the San Juan Writers’ Workshop.

Prior to declaring my morbid writing intention of exploring death professions during my first semester of Goucher College’s MFA program in 2008, I had little experience with death or grief, not to mention very little social engagement with the living.

Review:Ī menopausal, 12 stepping, road tripping vampire… what could be more fun? Seriously. With raging hormones and a ticking clock, Veronica embarks on a last-ditch road trip to regain her mortality, reclaim her humanity, and ultimately, die on her own terms. When her estranged daughter contacts her via Facebook, Veronica learns that she has one chance to escape her eternal personal summer: she must find and apologize to every one of the people she’s turned into vampires in the last century. ![]() These days, Veronica’s existence is just that – an existence, as flat and empty as her own non-reflection in the bathroom mirror. Her life stopped being fun about a hundred years ago, right about the time her teenage daughter stole her soul and took off for California with a hot, older guy. To retain her sanity, she attends weekly AA meetings and adheres to a strict diet of organic, locally-sourced, (mostly) cruelty-free human blood from the hospice facility where she works. Like most hormonally challenged women negotiating the change of life, she is a hot mess. Veronica is eternally fifty-one years old with a proclivity for problematic drinking.

![]() Now that you understand some negative effects of light degradation on polymers, let’s discuss the solutions to these problems. These by-products then escape into the environment and accumulate in animals and humans. ![]() The degradation of some polymers is often characterized by the release of harmful by-products. This is because of the polymers dispersing the incident light rays instead of letting them through. Transparent polymers lose their transparency on exposure to light degradation. And when this happens, the polymer becomes weaker and it’s only a matter of time before a little amount of stress breaks it. This is a consequence of the breaking of long molecular chains into shorter bits. Light degradation causes the molecular weight of the polymers to reduce. UV degradation leads to the loss of those mechanical properties that once enabled the polymers to do their jobs. These are the various ways light and UV degradation can affect polymers: And for an unfortunate handful, they experience both. Some other polymers become weak in their molecular structures and break easily. Some polymers only get affected in their looks and their coloration. ![]() The effects of UV degradation on polymers range from physical to chemical. view of a bottom-up How UV Degradation Affects Polymers Each part talks about everything from what light stabilizers are, their types, the polymers they are most compatible with, and how to ship the polymer additives.īut before we go further, let’s have you understand the effects of light and UV degradation on polymers.

How long to play 9 holes of golf with cart (with advanced practice)Īssuming you’re solo here, I average about 3-4 minutes a hole and if you’re able to play the full nine holes uninterrupted then you can easily play in 30 minutes or so. On average, a golfer can expect to walk around 2.5 to 3 miles while playing 9 holes of golf. The total distance covered by 9 holes of golf really depends on factors such as the length of the course(shocker) and the distance between each hole(less shocker). Go ahead and save the extra reps around the greens when it’s easier to chase down that second ball before you whip out the putter. Here I would not recommend the more advanced practice method mentioned above and hit multiple shots every time (unless you just really want to burn a ton of calories). For longer courses, I’d say it would take anywhere from 1.5 hours to 2 hours long. Now for my favorite way to play golf- WALKING.įor shorter golf courses, you could play in as quick as 1 hour or so. However, many golfers prefer to walk when they play golf(myself included). So far I’ve only been speaking on the basis of playing IN A CART. Especially if you’re only playing 9 holes because you don’t have time to actually play 18 holes, but by hitting range balls you can still warm up while getting in those extra swing reps. Tip: My favorite way to play 9 holes solo is to hit range balls for about 20-30 minutes before teeing off. In a perfect world any group slowing you down would kindly let you play through, but sadly I still see groups of golfers not understanding the pace-of-play concept and not letting faster golfers move on ahead. ![]() ![]() Playing solo means you can absolutely fly around the course as long as there’s not a group holding you up. How long does it take to golf 9 holes solo?Īnywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour long. Rarely will a twosome only play 9 holes on the weekends. Especially if both golfers are in separate carts. As you can see, playing 9 holes of golf as a twosome doesn’t really take long at all. How long does 9 holes of golf take 2 players?Īnywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours long. Personally, I can’t really recall ever playing 9 holes as a foursome.īut playing as a threesome is fairly common on a weekday since most the population isn’t able to play golf on weekdays, and sometimes the pro shop will prefer to pair up 3 players in the event they all show up to the course right after work. Playing 9 holes of golf as a threesome is way more likely to occur than playing as a foursome. How long does it take to golf 9 holes with 3 players?Īnywhere from 1 hour to 2 hours long. However, you will see the majority of groups taking as long as 3.5-4 hours if half the group isn’t very experienced (aka high handicappers). On a shorter golf course, experienced golfers could walk 9 holes of golf in 2.5-3 hours. How long does 9 holes of golf take for 4 players walking? This usually means playing on the weekend when golf courses are the most crowded with a ton of other large groups playing 18 holes as well. Simply because the bigger the group the more planning was involved for everyone to make it out to the course. Very rarely will a large group of 4 golfers only play 9 holes of golf. How long does 9 holes of golf take for 4 players?Īnywhere from 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours long. If you are looking to stretch out your day and tackle a full round, see how long does 18 holes of golf take. We’re talking a wide range of 45 minutes to two-and-a-half hours long. So, pending how many players are in the group(or if you are solo) will ultimately determine how long it will take you to play nine holes of golf. A solo golfer can take a minimum of 45 minutes to play 9 holes, and a group of 4 golfers can take a maximum of 2.5 hours to play 9 holes. How long to play 9 holes of golf largely depends on how many people are playing, and if everyone is riding or walking.
