I got too many adjustment layers and want to merge them together to one rasterized layer.
How do I do this??
problem:
If I merge the adjustment layer with another layer, the effect of the adjustment layer goes away..
Select the first layer you want to merge, then hold Ctrl key and select the others you want to merge. Then right-click with your mouse over one of the selected layers and choose "Merge Layers"

In case the title confused you. I want to remove the background around the object. The boundary is rather complex, so doing it by hand is time-consuming. However, I have several images of one object on different backgrounds.
So I've put these images on different layers, so the object on each layer is in the same place. Now I would like to combine all layers in one, so the object would persist, but different layers would be removed. Is there a function/filter/script that works this way? Taking pixels from different layers and if they are different removes them or makes them (more) transparent? While pixels that don't differ are left unchanged.
I've tried "addition" and "multiply" modes for layers, but they don't work that way - they still change pixels that are "the same".
With two images:
Set the top image to Difference
Get a new layer from the result: Layer>New from visible
Color-select the black with a low threshold.
Your selection is the pixels that are black, that are those where the difference between the images was 0, that are those that are identical in both images.
With more images
A solution likely uses a "median filter". Such a filter makes pixels "vote": a pixel is the most common values among the corresponding pixels in each of the source images. This is typically applied to remove random objects (tourists) in front of a fixed subject (building): take several shots, and the filter will keep the pixels from the building, removing the tourists.
There is a median filter in the GMIC plugin/filter suite. Otherwise if you have good computer skills (some install tweaks required) there is an experimental one in Python.
However the median filter doesn't erase the background so the technique is likely more complex than the tourist removal one. Can you show a sample picture?
I m using Avizo to generate a mesh of my microstructure obtained from CT scan in order to launch computations in Abaqus. I can generate interesting surfaces meshes, nonetheless outside mesh is too fine (you can see figure with this question). I am trying to create a surface path to have a coarser mesh in outside mesh but it doesnt work. When I remesh my model all is modified...
How can i generate sub-surfaces in order to specificy special mesh conditions?
Thanks for your help
It looks like your question is how can I break my mesh into separate components - perform some work on those components and then put them back together.
There is a tool to select connected components in a region in the toolbar area at the top of the meshlab window which you can use to select any triangle on the outside boundary and it will grab all the connected parts of the mesh. Then with "Filters->Mesh Layer->Move Selected Faces to Another Layer" you can separate the selected part of the mesh into a new layer. Alternatively you can use right click on the layer and select split in connected components. On this new layer you can perform simplification filters such as clustering decimation.
Once you have completed the simplification to your satisfaction, make visible the layers that you want to merge back together and use the filter "Filters->Mesh Layer->Flatten Visible Layers" to put them back together.
I'm generating a png, and the edges of the images are right alongside the outlying objects in the diagram. I'd like to add a little whitespace around the diagram. I've done it so far by adding white lines on two of the sides, but I was hoping there is a way to just specify a certain amount of padding either all the way around or per side. I don't see the setting myself.
You can draw the Standard-Box around your diagram and then just set its Draw Background property to No. Here you can layer you diagram and border box like this Layers -> Add Layer..., name the layer and now you can draw Standard-Box there.
Tip: If you don't see Layer Bar then just go to View->Show Layers.
Well I have an outline layer and a region layer.
The region for sure sure using the outline, so it would be great if I could select some important point from the outline layer and than copy paste it to the region layer.
How is that possible?
The way to go is another. Let's say we have layer outline(o) and region(r).
You create the polygon in o and after that select it. Now hit CTRL+C for copying. Now switch to r and paste it there with CTRL+V. It should be the same place now. Don't forget to disable the view of polygon from o for sure. Now in r you can use the Split Features from the Advanced Digitizing. Now split the polygon at the place where you need it. Delete the second unwanted polygon after that.
Here is my little test image:

Basically they are two images, as you can see on the left is the 1st one and on the right the 2nd one. (and yes, I know one of the images has overlapped and "cut" off the wire)
Unfortunately my lighting was bad so I didnt get the same background color or this would have been easy.
But now that you see it, how do I make it so that it looks like it is one picture? (How do I get rid of that middle seam and get the same background color?)
Thanks!
you can try with this: select part one of your picture (layer) then image-->adjustments--match color then select your sorce psd (the same) and the level !
It's not always a great solution but give it a chance!
Or you can play araound with layer masks and layer effects
