Install the Extract Filter in Photoshop CS5

Technology

Back in Photoshop CS3 and earlier, the Extract filter was a lifesaver when it came to extracting a furry or hairy subject from its background (hence the name). However, Adobe dropped this filter back in Photoshop CS4 in favor of the new—and, in CS5, much improved—Refine Edge dialog box. That said, if you feel you can’t live life without the Extract filter and you still own Photoshop CS3 (or if you copied the filter to Photoshop CS4), you can drag and drop it from the older version of the program into the new one. Here’s how: Quit Photoshop and locate the Adobe Photoshop CS3 application folder on your hard drive and then find the Filters➝ExtractPlus.plugin file (it’s named ExtractPlus.8BF on a PC).

Don’t worry—as it is now out and available, you'll be able to download a copy of the Windows Developer Preview to your 32- or 64-bit x86 machine (no activation required) from dev.windows.com. I'd recommend doing installing it on a separate partition (or a spare machine altogether) in order to prevent unforeseen conflicts, and I'd also suggest having a stiff glass of patience waiting nearby. During the Launch of Windows 8, they also shared some facts about windows 7 and that was: Windows 7 is approaching mark of 450.000.000 copies sold. Windows XP was the best operating system in the history of Microsoft but Windows 7 had broken this record and now they have greater consumer usage than windows XP. Windows 7 had gone throu...
