Article: You might also want to duplicate the background layer to ensure you don't ruin your original image. To duplicate, click on the layer in your panel and press Ctrl+J or Cmd+J to make a second copy of your original. This way, if you make any mistakes, you can easily come back to your original. Some text, like that on a white background, just needs to be deleted. Some need a more complicated replacement. Photoshop has a lot of tools for seamlessly removing text, but you need to be sure you're using the right one. Look at the following scenarios before removing to figure out what works best for you: Un-rendered text: If there is still a "T" in the layers panel where the text is, it means the text is still editable. Press "T" to turn on the text tool, then click on the text in the image to replace it. This is only if you added the text yourself earlier. If the background is easy to replicate by painting over it, create a new layer and use the Eyedropper Tool to get the background color. Then use a brush to paint over the old text. Complex background: You'll need to use complex tools to seamlessly replicate the background. The rest of the tutorial will be geared towards these complex jobs, and the tools needed to replace the text. You'll want precise, close control over the image, cutting it out closely so that you don't have to replace much of the background behind it. The closer you get, the better your final product will look. If your text is against a background, like the words on a soda can, use the selection tools to surround the text as closely as possible. Simply use your favorite selection tool to capture the text you want replaced. The little dancing line should hug tightly to your text. Surround the text, then use "Select" "Refine Edge" to get a perfect selection. If you're struggling with selection tools, check out this Wikihow on removing items from images in Photoshop. Alternatively, Ctrl/Cmd-click the a layer of pure text to select it. If your text is already it's own layer, hold either Ctrl or Cmd and click the thumbnail (it usually looks like a "T") to select all the text immediately. To do so, click on "Select" "Expand." You want a small border around the text -- this is the background that will be used to replace the text.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Isolate the layer you're editing so that you don't remove anything essential. Determine the type of background you need to replace behind text before removing it. Single-color background: Zoom in as close to the text as you can. Select the text you want to remove using the Quick Selection or Lasso tools. Extend your selection 5-10 pixels outside of the original text.
Article: If you are unhappy in your current employment situation, consider that the other party to the contract may be unhappy as well. If both parties agree, they can rescind the contract and let each other out of the agreement. A mutual agreement to terminate the contract early is often the best-case scenario for getting out of an employment contract. Once again, you will need to go back to your contract to determine how much notice, if at all, you owe the other party before abandoning the contract. A typical timeframe is two weeks, but the required notice can vary from contract to contract. Take into account any accrued vacation time into your calculation, if applicable. Failure to give the required notice can lead to you being financially liable to the other party for breaking the contract. If your employer is not as eager to end the contract as you are, you may be able to negotiate terms of the contract in order to persuade the other party to allow you to end it early without negative consequences. For instance, you could agree to give your employer time to find a replacement, you could offer to stay on in order to train a new employee, or you could offer an employee a severance package. These sorts of negotiations may help end the contract on good terms for both parties. Sometimes, the assistance of a mediator or another neutral third party can help you negotiate the terms of ending the contract. This is much less expensive alternative to going to court and litigating your dispute. Plus, it can help you reach a mutually agreeable settlement that will end the contract in a way that you both can live with. Most state bar associations maintain a list of mediators who are certified by the laws of that state. Contact your state bar association for more information.

Article: If you have a spider infestation in your home, basic spider killer sprays can be purchased to treat the infection. These are usually used outside the home. You spray the perimeters of your home, as well as any cracks or crevices spiders may use to enter your house. Choose a spray at a local department store. You should know the basic build of your home before going in so you know what sprays are safe for your house. Go around the perimeter of your home. Spray around the house's foundation. Also, look for potential entryways for spiders. Pay special attention to cracks in windowsills and garage entryways. Specifics regarding safe use depend on the type of spray you're using. The bottle or package should provide safety instructions. Always read these carefully before using any spider sprays. If you're wary about using chemicals around your home, essential oils can help. Try creating a mixture using essential oils and see if you notice a difference. Spiders tend to dislike the taste of essential oils. You can purchase essential oils online or at a local health store. For best effect, use neem oil and tea tree oil. Mix about two tablespoons of dish soap into warm water. Then, add 5 drops of tea tree oil and an ounce of neem oil. Sprinkle this mixture around your home in areas where you've noticed spiders. Be careful, however. Make sure you do not leave the spray close to children or pets. Tea tree oil can be harmful if swallowed. There are a variety of insecticides you can use to ward off spiders. Stop by your local hardware store and review your options. Dust insecticides are best used if you're treating cracks and crevices. They can be easily applied to hard-to-reach places in your home. Powder insecticides work best for spot treatment. If you've only seen spiders in a few spots in your home, consider a powder insecticide. If you're trying to create a boundary around your home, look into a liquid insecticide. They are usually mixed with water and then used to cover large areas around the home. As always, make sure to carefully review safety instructions of any products you buy prior to use. Many people feel more comfortable with electronic repellants as they don't involve spraying your home. Electronic repellents generate electromagnetic waves that repel spiders and other pests. You can find them online or at a hardware store. Read product reviews carefully before making a purchase, however, to make sure the repellent works for most people. If you have a serious spider infestation, you may not be able to treat it on your own. In this case, you should hire a professional exterminator. You should be especially proactive about this if you live in an area where poisonous spiders are common.
