Image overlay

Hello,
I am trying to create an image that looks like this. In other words, I have an image on a "red" channel and an image on a "green" channel. I want to superimpose them such that the overlapping regions are yellow. Ideally I want to do this without NI Vision.
To achieve the desired effect, I was trying to build an RGB image with the blue channel (layer) empty and my red and green images in the other two channels. This approach has worked for me in the past with other programming languages but I've not yet been able to find a way of doing it in LabVIEW. Maybe this is not the right approach here?
Thanks

This is solved. I hadn't realised LabVIEW does the really intuitive thing of interleaving RGB values. I can post a solution if anyone's interested.

Batch processing with an image overlay

Is it possible to do batch processing with an image overlay in FW CS4?
I'm trying to resize several hundred images and place rounded corners on them.
If this cannot be done in FW, does anyone know of another program that could accomplish this?

Hi Marje,
It's possible to include both resizing and image overlay in a custom Fireworks command that can be used in batch processing. To get started, you could check out this tutorial that deals with the first step.
That article describes how to perform image resize and overlay (in that case, a watermark), and then how to record the steps and turn them into a custom command that can be later used in batch processing.
Once you saved the custom command, click File >> Batch Process, and follow the steps below:
In the first window, select the images you want to process.
On the next screen, open the Commands dropdown menu and select the custom command you created (it'll probably be on the bottom of the list), and click the Add button to include it in the batch process list.
Finally, on the next screen select the location of the processed files, and optionally save the batch script for later use.
Good luck!

Image overlay problem ,want to fix it

   <?php get_header(); ?>

I used above code to get image overlay feature over my blog post and on clicking the overlay image it must be removed.
my webpage : http://netstrikers.comeze.com/?p=69
I have a problem that the overlay image is not in position , it has some problem in alignment ,(During zoom out the web page , overlay image changes its position)
I want the overlay image exactly within the blog post container. can anyone help me to modify the code.
my single.php file : http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=8ReWyLxu
code edited : cracker007

To maintain position with respect to the rest of the page elements, the nearest ancestor container of any absolutely positioned element must be positioned relatively, for example -
<div id="ancestor" style="position:relative;">
<div id="xx1" style="position:absolute;">
With this code arrangement, as div#ancestor shifts in the normal flow of the code rendering, the div#xx1 will shift by a corresponding amount.
Does that help?

Firefox won't print 'highlights' made by a marking tool on a form. I have enabled 'Print backgrounds' options and the yellow image overlays print fine in other browsers. Is this a setting within windows 7?

I am trying to print a document through Firefox. We have a Form view / marking tool to make these image overlays to make highlighted boxes on the document.
It prints the yellow 'highlight overlays' fine in all other browsers and in OSX using firefox, but the highlighted boxes won't print in Firefox using Windows 7.
I have the 'Print backgrounds' option checked in Firefox settings.
Please advise.

Image overlay challenge

I'm using the "image overlay with link" script (downloaded from apple) - I'm able to get as far as entering the target URL, then I get a message saying "The front movie has no file". I've saved the QT movie as source, and the image file is a JPEG, smaller than than the QT movie - the files are both in the same folder. What am I missing?
Thanks

Many of these AppleScripts do not work with Tiger or QuickTime 7.
Until someone (smarter than me) fixes them the only way to make them work is to use them on an older OS and older QT Pro version.
They do work (the resulting file works properly on Tiger and Windows) but results are a bit "flakey".
I would avoid SMIL until Apple embraces the newest version of it.
http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/
Uses version 2.1 and I think (please don't quote me) Apple's QuickTime app only uses version 1.
This entire thread is important to QT content developers.
We don't need "broken" AppleScript support or third party tools to continue our Web based files.
Or, do we?

Help! Image Overlay problems in FCP

I am working on a web video project in FCP 7.0.2 that is working with both video and images. I need a watermark overlay in the bottom right corner for the duration as well as various image overlays and I use moving images as transition between scenes. Whenever I lay an image on top of video, the video speeds up. Audio stays in real time but the video gets really fast. Whenever I try to use an image as a transition, during the transition and soon after it's completion, the screens flashes black.
I recently completed a project that is the exact same as this one in regards to settings and images and had none of these problems. Any idea what the issue is?

Sorry for being vague. I think I solved it. I used Amerisoft Video Converter to convert 1280 x 720 MTS files. With the original project, I made mp4's with the convertor. With the newer project, they are all .MOV's and they aren't getting along with my previous sequence settings. I am re-exporting them.
The transition isn't a pre-programed transition. I take a .PNG and set a motion tween in the motion tab and have it slide across as a transition from one scene to another. It's just a moving image file. I also have a logo overlayed on the bottom right corner. Knowing all of that, can you think of why the image files weren't getting along with the .MOV's and the sequence?

Determining best image overlay size to use

Hi folks
So I'm working with Premiere Pro CS6 doing some video editing for a minister friend of mine. During bits of the video, I've been overlaying quotes and whatnot. I'd like to achieve some consistency by always ensuring these appear in the same screen location. So I thought one easy way to accomplish it would be to determine the pixel size of the sequence. And the properties report back that my sequence is 1440 x 1080. I figured I could just create and manipulate images of that exact size and drop them in for exact placement.
The problem is that when I create an image of that size and drop it into PP, the right monitor shows the image with pillarboxed areas of the video on either side of it. The image certainly appears to be spot on with height, but the width is off and I'm not sure why?
So what's the explanation here? It would certainly seem the sequence properties are in conflict with what the right monitor area in PP is presenting.
Thanks... Rick

You can specify the PAR of titles as you create them:
Basically, anamorphic HD uses rectangular pixels
in order to squish the 16x9 image into a 4x3 frame.
Premiere 'un-squishes' the pixels back to 16x9.
If your source footage is 1440x1080 (1.333),
you are correct working in a 1440x1080 (1.333) Sequence...
you just need to create matching aspect / par titles.
If you are using another application to create your .png images,
I would be inclined to make them 1920x1080 (1.0).
This will fit your anamorphic Sequence without worrying about PAR.

Full Image overlay on a page

Hello:
Does anyone have experience using lightbox for overlaying
images on web page? I'm using DW 8 and cannot figure out the
following:
I've got all my images in the right image folder, I've put
the light box.css and the 3 js files in my site...If you click on
the 3 products near the bottom of the page below, you'll get a new
window for each product instead of the way lightbox is supposed to
work...
http://www.enhancedwireless.net/Technology/PARROT_Units.shtml
The way it should work:
http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/#download
Have a look at my code on the above page, if you'd be so
kind, and let me know how I may fix this...I appreciate it greatly.
I've emailed the author of this lightbox a few days ago, no
answer yet, so am trying this forum.
Thanks KB

I stripped out the js folder name and replaced it with
correct path like the other js files on my page; at first, I
removed the "?" from the end of scriptaculous.js (didn't know why
that is in the code right before "load=effect") but then the image
appears miles down on the same page with the "close" and "title"
words positioned either on top of the image or on bottom. Then I
put the "?" back in and I still get a new window.
Would love for this to work. It is a nice effect. How to fix?

How to remove image overlay when emailing a photo?

When I try and email a photo directly from aperture, the selected photo has another photo embedded in it. The same photos is alway overlayed in the lower right hand corner. It seems like some setting got activated but I can't figure out how to remove it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

It sounds as though you have a watermark assigned to the Export Preset you have in turn assigned to be used when you email an Image.
The Export Preset is selected at "Aperture➞Preferences➞Export". Export Presets can be customized via "Aperture➞Presets➞Export". Either select a Preset that does not have a watermark, or remove the watermark from the selected Preset.

Transparent image overlay

To start, I will tell you what I am trying to do. For a Children's Christmas skit that is going on at my church, the setting of the skit is supposed to take place in an attic. What I have done is taken a picture in my own attic, looking out the window. Using Pixelmator, I made the panes of glass transparent and exported the image with the hopes of overlaying it on a video loop of snow that I have (that way it will be snowing outside the attic, more or less).
It seems however that FCE is not being cooperative on the video side of this, however, since all I get is white where the transparency is supposed to be. Does FCE support transparent layers in images?

You would be wrong on both accounts. Pro Presenter 4 and Pixelmator are Mac only (actually, I think PP4 released a PC version a month or two ago but I am not sure).
But, if you want to look at the image, you can access my iDisk public folder (username: missileboat). I have created a folder called 'Apple Discussion Forum.' In it, I put the original image, the PNG I exported and also the PXM project file (the format Pixelmator saves its project files in) and, just for good measure, I included a copy of Pixelmator as well (it has a 30-day trial if you want to play with it).

Forum Image Overlays right shifted

When I click on the image attachmenys in this forum, the overlay that pops up is shifted drastically to the right. Often, I can't even see the whole image, because no scroll bars are offered, nor should they be necessary, as I have an Apple 30 inch Cinema Display. I'm including a screen shot for your amusement. In the example, even if I enlarged the window as much as possible, I could not see the whole image:

Gary,
I'm also using Safari on a Mac, but I'm not seeing the issue you have.
After testing with the same popup (Noel's) I saw somthing that I hadn't realized before.
It appears that Safari will always attempt to center the image depending on the horizontal width of the browser window.
So if I have a wide brower window taking up most of my screen real estate, the popup will be centered and large.
But if I make a narrow horizontal width browser window, it will still center it but the popup is much smaller.
Of course, this is dependent on the original size of the uploaded image, i.e. the original poster's image popup shows as the same size as the original image on the page.
People who know what they are doing (like Noel) upload a more generous size so that clicking on it gives a larger more detailed image which is the whole point of popups to begin with.
Have you have this problem in the past? Does it appear if you use a different browser?
What happens if you "Empty Cache" in Safari, or the more extensive "Reset Safari" (under the Safari menu)

Image overlay (greybox,lightbox,thickbox etc.)

Hello!
Has anyone figured out how to overlay images in a
Lightbox/Thickbox/Greybox style? Using those scripts somehow break
my Spry-Pages or are not working properly. Would be nice to have a
spry effect to do this.
Thanks in advance!

HI,
I have very little coding experience and have been struggling to implement Greybox on a site. I’ve got it working in IE but in FF and Safari it loads the greyed-out screen and icons, but the image is blank. However, if you hit the back arrow or reload and link to the gallery again, the images will appear, sometimes smoothly, other times flickering first.
I am using Dreamweaver CS3. I’ve check for the MM_image preloader as the Greybox FAQ suggests but doesn’t seem to be there (unless I am not looking in the right spot). None of my images have spaces in the file names, so this too cannot be the issue.
you can view the page in question here: http://www.harbourdeep.com/gallery_zTest3.html
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please be as descriptive as possible, as I said, I am a noobie.
Thanks!!

Urgent- Please help with image overlaying

Hi,
Please,please, can someone help me with an imaging issue and show me what I'm doing wrong.
I'm a swing beginner and I'm trying to create a application for a board game. Currently I'm using JLabel components to try and create jpeg pieces over a JPanel component that has the board background.
Currently I've written the code for the board background component and the pieces but can't get the image to appear on the background.
Please can someone show me what I'm doing wrong.
If someone can help me get this working, I've got 16 dollars from other posts in this forum I can give you.
Thanks.
public class BoardPanel extends JPanel {
public BoardPanel()
//Overwrite abstract painting method
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
super.paintComponent(g);
          g.drawImage(backgroundImage,0,0,this.getWidth(), this.getHeight(), null);
private Image backgroundImage = new ImageIcon("./Board.gif").getImage();
public class PieceIcon extends JLabel {
public PieceIcon(String symbol)
System.out.println("./"+symbol+".jpg");
          pieceImage = new ImageIcon("./"+symbol+".jpg");
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
          super.paintComponent(g);
          g.drawImage(pieceImage,playerBoardPos.getX(),playerBoardPos.getY(), this);
private Image pieceImage;
Main:
JPanel content = new JPanel();
PieceIcon testPiece = new PieceIcon("Dog");
BoardPanel boardIcon = new BoardPanel();
getContentPane().add(content, java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);
content.add(boardIcon, java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);
boardIcon.setLayout(new javax.swing.OverlayLayout(boardIcon));
boardIcon.add(testPiece);

Oh, and since you probably won't be needing a layout manager, try the following:
setLayout(null);
ChessPeice peice1 = new ChessPeice(...);
add(peice1);
peice1.setBounds(x, y, width, height);also, your ChessPeice paintComponent method should look more like:
... //in constructor
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(image.width, image.height));
setOpaque(false);
public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
   g.drawImage(...);
}Make sure that if you call the component's getSize method to determine the width and height you do it after pack has been called. If you call getSize before then, it will return 0 for the width and height values.
Another advantage to this approach is that the peices only draw in the areas they need to.
Hope this helps.

Question about image overlays

I have what is hopefully a good question here.
My final output will be 432x280.
I created a graphic exactly with those dimensions, and overlaid it on the video I have ( which is original size of 1280x720)
( the graphic I overlaid is a very simple picture frame )
When I overlay the graphic over the video, it is MUCH smaller than the video in Premiere. ( I understand this is normal because my original video is larger )
Question: What should I do ? I want the simple border/picture frame to be the best quality possible in the output video. So what do you suggest ? ... Do you re-create the graphic so it matches the original video ? or do you size down the video so it fits into the frame ? - I tried this, but now I have a large black area on my work window in Premiere, because the frame is so small in relation to the video. I'm not sure how to proceed at this point.
I would appreciate any of your responses / suggestions.
Dave.

David,
Assuming you are working in a custom (desktop) 1280x720 project, I would suggest to use a graphic that has the same dimensions as the video and to do the shrinking to 432x280 at the end (in the Adobe Media Encoder export).

Time-specific Image Overlay using Adobe Media Encoder

Basically I just want to add a black screen at the end of my video. Is there a way to easily do this in Adobe Media Encoder without having to use other video production programs like After Effects or Premiere Pro?

Thanks for the input. So just to confirm, you're saying that if I choose one of the Adobe Presets under QuickTime, that that setting should STAY visible in the selection box. Yes? Just like the others. Windows Media, Adobe Flash, etc...
Because mine immediately changes to CUSTOM after I make a QuickTime selection. Also, it DOES NOT give me a file size estimate like the others. Does this make sense?
