Need to crop with rounded edges

I am a novice and purchased Elements 2.0 a couple of years ago so that I can adjust pictures to post on our web site. Very simply, I want to take a rectangle picture and round the edges off. I have spent hours pouring through the help files and playing, but can not determine how to do this simple thing. Is this even possible with this version?
Would greatly appreciate any help!

Wow you guys are awesome to help me out. I am caught up with you and I now have a picture with rounded corners. Took me a bit as I had to use Help a couple of times to figure out how to get the trash can up, and determine where the ctrl-click really was supposed to happen. I also think I figured out that I needed to use Select - Inverse vs. Invert. Then again that may have been my mistake. I now have a nice picture with round edges and a white retangle around it. If I save this and try to put on my web site, will it not look just like that with the white space? Or have I asked my limit of questions today? :-)
Thanks again,
Michelle

  • Cropping with rounded corners

    I am preparing portrait images to be put on a page. I would like to use the cropping tool to a specific size and end up with rounded corners on the image.
    How can this be done?
    Thanks,
    Mary Lou

    John, is there s ome way I can send you a copy of that image to look at?
    The original picture was taken where there was a red backdrop. I selected the person and removed her from the backdrop, placing the image on a plain blue background.
    I have flattened the image so I don't know any way that the old red background would be there anymore. As soon as I apply the rounded corner rectangle tool there is a redness to the marquee.

  • Images with rounded edges

    Hello,
    I want to create my images with rouned corners rather than
    being a boring square shape.
    I have seen this affect on other websites.
    Can anyone tell me step by step how a modify a square image
    to appear maybe in a circle or a rounded corner rectangle ??
    Thanks

    Hi Mark,
    Draw a rounded rectangle, and then place the image on top of
    it. Cut the
    image to the clipboard (Edit > Cut), and then click on the
    rounded
    rectangle to select it. Choose Edit > Paste Inside.

  • How to make round edges in this jpg file

    Hi
    I have a jpg file and I would like to make it round in the left side part. How can you do that?
    Here is the sample jpg file which I meant?
    and I have a jpg file which is something like this but it's rectangle.
    I would appreciate your help
    Thanks

    i'm sorry Zeno i really didn't understand which picture is which now.
    ok, what i need to know is to make a round edges on my pic2 (which is as you can see, plain rectangle)
    i would like to have pic2 to look like the first pic i post.
    in the pic1, i don't need to make a round edges on it, just the pic2
    i'm sorry the instruction is not quite clear. maybe i should rephrase it just to make sure that what i understood is correct.
    thanks
    1) I will open the pic1 and then make duplicate the whole Layer by : Edit->Transform->Flip Horizontal, add a Layer Mask (Is this correct?)
    2) And then I open the pic2 (I'm not sure what to do now after opening the pic2 - rectangle picture, do I have to apply the clipping mask here?)
    Thanks

  • Need help with getting images to look smooth (without the bitmap squares) around the edges. When I transfer the image from pictures, it sets itself into the InDesign layout, but with square edges. I need to find out how to get it to look smooth?

    Need to find out how to get my images transferred into an InDesign layout without the rough edges, as with a bit map image, but to appear with smooth edges in the layout. I can notice it more when I enlarge the file (pic). How can I get it to appear smooth in the finished layout. Another thing too that I noticed; it seems to have effected the other photos in the layout. They seem to be
    pixelated too after I import the illustration (hand drawn artwork...)? Any assistance with this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    No Clipboard, no copy & paste, as you would not get the full information of the image.
    When you paste you can't get the image info from the Links panel, but you can get resolution and color info either via the Preflight panel or by exporting to PDF and checking the image in Acrobat.
    Here I've pasted a 300ppi image, scaled it, and made a Preflight rule that catches any image under 1200ppi. The panel gives me the effective resolution of the pasted image as 556ppi. There are other workflow reasons not to paste—you loose the ability to easily edit the original and large file sizes—but pasting wouldn't cause a loss in effective resolution or change in color mode.

  • Need help with Rounding a number.

    I have 3 cells each with a formula in them. Please bear with me while I try to explain this.
    Cell D18 contains the formula: =Sum(L18/C5) (L18's value is 58, C5's value is 10), So the value of the cell is 5.8. I need this number to round properly to 6. It does visually on the spreadsheet.
    Cell F18 contains the formula: =Sum(E18/F5) (E18=28, F5=8) So the actual value of F18 is 3.5 which is rounded to 4 visually on the spreadsheet.
    Cell G18 contains the formula =Sum(D18+F18). (D18 visually displays 6, F18 visually displays 4, therefore G18 should display 10). G18 actually displays 9. For some reason the calculations are still based on the actual calculations of D18 & F18, instead of the rounded displayed numbers. How do I get G18 to display the correct number of 10, rather than the rounded down number of 9?
    I'm sure there's a simple fix that I'm just not understanding. I hope I explained my problem well enough, I'd appreciate any help I can get. These numbers are to calculate insulin dosage, so I need to be sure the math is correct.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    The explanation is that you don't understand what you are doing.
    When you ask numbers to display 0 decimal, you don't ask it to round the contents but to display the rounded value.
    A contents remains 3.6 but the display is 4
    an other contents may be 3.6 too displaying 4
    When you sum, you ask number to add the contents (3.6 + 3.6) which is 7.2 and you ask it to display the rounded value of this result. So you correctly see 7 not 8.
    If you want to get what you described, you MUST force Numbers to round.
    First,I don't understand how you may invent such a silly thing like =Sum(L8/C5)
    You are asking Numbers to sum the result of the division L8/C5 to nothing.
    The correct syntax would ask it to calculate the quotient, no less no more.
    =L8/C5
    but here we need to round so, in D18, enter
    =ROUND(L8/C5,0)
    in F18, enter
    =ROUND(E8/F5,0)
    In G18, =Sum(D18+F18) is silly too.
    You are asking nummber to sum (D18+F18) and nothing.
    The correct formula may be:
    =SUM(D18,F18)
    or
    =D18+F18

  • Correct "clip" for background with round border

    Hi all. I'm having a problem with a round border and a round background. If you look at the code below you will see that I have a border specified with a radius of 5. If I run this, the background sticks outside of the border. If I also set the background to have a radius of 5, it still doesn't look correct as the outside of the border turns purple whereas I would expect it to be light red. If I change the background radius to 4 then the inside of the border doesn't quite match up to the background.
    How do I set a border and just say the background should be "clipped" by it?
    Thanks, Nick.

    This is actually a kind of tricky question to answer well.
    The standard caspian.css stylesheet for JavaFX 2.2 makes almost no use of borders.
    The standard caspian controls have things that look like borders or highlighted edges, but these are almost always implemented by layered backgrounds.
    For instance a focus ring around a button is a blue background which is layered underneath the button background, making the ring look like a border, even though it's not.
    I don't really know why the layered background approach was chosen over a border + background approach. Possible reasons are:
    - it's easier.
    - it performs better.
    - it provides a better visual experience.
    Maybe it is one or all of the above.
    Regardless, I think there was likely some good reason why the layered background approach was chosen, so you'd probably best stick to it.
    One advantage of using this approach is there are lots of similar examples in caspian.css that you can copy from and use.
    A sample css style string for your sample app using layered borders, might be something like:
    -fx-padding: 1;  -fx-background-insets: 0, 1;  -fx-background-radius: 5, 5;  -fx-background-color: firebrick, forestgreen;By playing around with combinations of layered backgrounds, padding and background-insets you can achieve, borders around your controls which can be either entirely enclosed within your control's standard layout or outside of it (like the focus ring), so that when you add something like a focus ring around your control it doesn't shift the control's onscreen position - it really just surrounds the control.
    An updated version of your sample app which uses this is below:
    import javafx.application.Application;
    import javafx.scene.*;
    import javafx.scene.control.Label;
    import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
    import javafx.stage.Stage;
    public class RoundTest extends Application {
      @Override public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
    //    System.setProperty("prism.lcdtext", "false");
        StackPane stackPane = new StackPane();
        Scene scene = new Scene(stackPane, 500, 500, true);
        stackPane.setStyle(
            "-fx-background-color: cornsilk;"
          + " -fx-border-insets: 10;"
          + " -fx-border-color: rgba(128, 128, 128, 0.5)"
        Label label = new Label("Hello");
        label.setStyle(
    //        "-fx-padding: 5;"
    //      + " -fx-background-insets: 0, 5;"
    //      + " -fx-background-radius: 5, 5;"
            "-fx-padding: 1;"
          + " -fx-background-insets: 0, 1;"
          + " -fx-background-radius: 5, 5;"
          + " -fx-background-color: firebrick, forestgreen;"
          + " -fx-text-fill: whitesmoke;"
    //    label.setScaleX(5);
    //    label.setScaleY(5);
        stackPane.getChildren().add(new Group(label));
        stage.setScene(scene);
        scene.setCamera(new PerspectiveCamera());
        stage.show();
      public static void main(String[] args) { launch(args); }
    }Now for some other questions you raise:
    If I run this, the background sticks outside of the borderYeah the background radius and border radius properties are independent, so if you use a rounded border, you also need to use a rounded background or the background will overflow the border corners.
    If I also set the background to have a radius of 5, it still doesn't look correct as the outside of the border turns purple whereas I would expect it to be light redJavaFX 2.2 uses anti-aliasing in pretty much all of it's rendering (and even another trick for lcd called sub-pixel rendering of text in some cases). Your border is only one pixel wide. If the border isn't sitting exactly on a pixel boundary, it's going to be blended with the background. Even if the straight sides of the border sit exactly on the pixel boundary, when the border turns the corners, the anti-aliasing algorithms will kick in blending the border corner and the background around the inside edge of the corner.
    You chose a green background and a red border. When you mix those two colors, you get purple (which is what is happening).
    I don't know of anyway to enable or disable anti-aliased rendering for JavaFX scene graph objects (perhaps something to do that might come along for the ride with the 3D scene graph support in Java 8).
    Regardless, you probably want anti-aliasing engaged for your rendering anyway. So you should develop your app knowing that anti-aliasing will happen. To do this, choose colors which blend well when anti-aliased. Caspian does this by deriving a lot of the outer background colors from the inner background colors (i.e. just lightening or darkening the border). This works well because they have the same base rgb component mixture, just in different portions, so the anti-aliasing mixes them seamlessly. Choosing full colors at opposite ends of the rgb spectrum such as red and blue result in jarring mixtures like purple. Even if the anti-aliasing wasn't involved, your eyes can play tricks on you and have difficulty clearly seeing the border between these kind of colors due to the weird optics of the eyes.
    Another strategy to alleviate nasty blending is to use more pixels, e.g. instead of a one pixel border, use a two pixel border - the anti-aliasing blending will be far less noticeable. Using the greater pixel strategy works very well in conjunction with newer higher resolution screens (so called retina displays), where the pixels themselves are so small that the human eye is unable to distinguish the pixels and the way they blend.
    All that said - your original example with the rounded borders and background doesn't look too bad to me :-)
    One other issue I came across when testing this is that there is a -fx-border-style css attribute which can have values of centered, inside and outside, and when I tried to set it I got messages like:
    WARNING: com.sun.javafx.css.parser.CSSParser declaration CSS Error parsing in-line style '-fx-padding: 1; -fx-background-insets: 0, 1; -fx-background-radius: 5, 5; -fx-background-color: firebrick, forestgreen; -fx-border-style: inside; -fx-text-fill: whitesmoke;' from javafx.scene.Node$22@1bd5d8ab: Unsupported <border-style> 'inside' while parsing '-fx-border-style' at [1,138]
    The css reference guide notes that the border functionality copies from the w3c backgrounds and border functionality, but there is no inside, outside, centered border style in the w3c css reference, so I guess there is some error in the JavaFX 2 css documentation there around what is supported and what is implemented from the w3c css reference. Note that I'm not really advocating that the JavaFX css processing should match the w3c css reference as I find the w3c system complicated and difficult to understand.
    http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/doc-files/cssref.html#region
    http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#border-style
    Perhaps as borders in css don't seem to be used much in JavaFX, the documentation issue isn't such a big one.

  • Imported jpg, how to "crop" or round corners

    So I have this jpg, a scanned image really.. And what I'd like to keep of the scanned image is a square within with rounded corners (within the rectangular scanned image). What's the procedure?
    Created and placed a square, corners with a radius over the target and attempted to "divide objects below", of course the jpg isn't an object, is it..(?)

    Wade, you are a broken record. All you ever say is that because this is how it is currently done, that makes it the "right" way. Feel free to not respond to my posts because I will never agree with that mentality.
    If you have some OTHER way to justify something, based in logic or common sense, I am all ears. But the idea that the status quo is somehow always "right" not does hold water with me.
    I feel if any basic user can see that there is a better way to do something, it is more "right" than the current way. That is not how your head operates, I know. I get that. So just ignore me. I am tired of arguing with you. Many people agree with me.
    In 2010, IMO you should not require a seperate external image editor just to crop a pasted bitmap in a program that is going on over a dozen releases. This is a common task when assembling artwork. I will of course point out that Freehand has done it flawlessly for something like 15 years. It is especially troubling when AI already has rasterization features in it, which it seems to me is a logical place to give users some control.
    It is dumbfounding to me that rasterizing a masked image would result in the full dimension of the masked area being converted to white pixels. I can understand for non-square mask shapes (like a circle) that white may need to fill the bounding area of the MASK with white when rasterized. That makes sense to me.
    Let's say I paste a web page into AI. I want to use the logo in the middle of a business card layout. Luckily the logo is on white on the web page so I have no issues on my white business card layout. So I mask just the tiny area in the upper left with a box and position the logo on the business card. and group the whole thing.
    I want to mail a quick proof to a client. So I duplicate the card and choose the Rasterize command and choose Screen resolution. Do I just get the card? No. I get a little card on a huge field of white. Can anyone explain why that should be the DEFAULT behavior of the rasterization process?
    Clearly, it is programatically possible, since the Flatten Transparency workaround gets us 99% there-- it just leaves and extra pixel on all dimensions for some reason. If the user had some control over this setting, that would be great, too.
    I thought I saw that at least, masked contents won't show in Outline view in AI-CS5 any more which is a step in the right direction.
    Does anyone know if this rasterization problem is fixed, too?

  • Issues with 'Rounding' function (Word 2007 issue? Works in Word 2003...)

    My colleague (using Word 2003) and I (using Word 2007) are working on a change to a template where we include a formula that has the function called rounding.
    She (2003) is able to preview the pdf but I (2007) am getting error message: : oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Extension function error: Method not found 'round'
    All other settings that we have appear to be the same (same config file, same java version, etc)
    Does anyone know if there are some changes to Word 2007 that are causing this? And, any ideas on how to resolve?
    Thanks for the help!
    Background:
    -The function is designed provide a total weight value: each individual weight value, multiply by a factor of .80, round up, and then added together to get a total amount.
    -Because we also show the individual weight values on the output, (also multiplied by the factor of .80 and then rounded up), we need the factor and rounding to happen before the sum).
    The entire set of functions for the total weight value is:
    <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'sum',0)?>
    <?for-each:LIST_G_CONTAINER_NAME1?><?for-each:G_CONTAINER_NAME1?>
    <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'sum', xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'sum')+ xdoxslt:round((GROSS_WT*0.8),2))?><?end for-each?><?end for-each?>
    <?format-number: xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'sum');'9G990D00'?>
    space
    <?WEIGHT_UOM_CODE?>
    Error when attempting to preview the pdf after uploading an xml file:
    : oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Extension function error: Method not found 'round

    Hi,
    I took my original file (didn't have the round functionality) and Word 2007 and did the following:
    1) Tested with xml to ensure that there are no other issues - was able to preview successfully
    2) Added the function you suggested: <?xdoxslt:round(1000.98978,2)?> and saved the change
    3) Tried to preview using the same xml and got the same error message about rounding
    I can't test on 2003 because my colleague is not working right now (she is the one with that version installed). I will try on 2003 later today (but I am guessing it will work for her because the other rounding function works for her).
    Thanks for any other ideas about this.

  • IconItemRenderer with rounded Corners

    Hi everyone,
    im using the mobile IconItemRenderer and need to round the corners of the list-Items to be in conform with the rest of my UI-Design. is there any way to archive this?

  • I need to crop image in TIFF format. what product i need to buy

    i need to crop image in TIFF format. what product i need to buy

    Photoshop should be able to handle cropping your TIFF file, possibly Photoshop Elements as well which would cost less.  You should get the trial version to make sure rather than buying before trying.
    You might also want to check if you already have something on your machine that can do it.  On a PC you should be able to right click the image and choose "Open With" whereby a menu of programs should appear with programs that can open the file.  You can check to see if any of those listed provide the cropping tool.
    If you have further questions you should try posting in the Photoshop forum instead of here (http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop?view=discussions).  This forum is primarly for questions about downloading and installing Adobe applications.

  • Is there a way to use eraser tool with soft edges?

    Hi,

    Here is a snapshot to illustrate further what I mean:
    You should be able to see that above the curve on the left there is a gradient which extends to the top of the image. This is the rectangle which I have applied a gradient to. At the top of the rectangle the colour is the same as the background. What I am trying to do is to blend the left edge of the rectangle in with the background above the curve (below the curve there is a line so no blending is needed). The way I thought of doing this is using the eraser tool with a soft edge. I can do this in Photoshop, but I'm not sure if this is possible or the best approach in Illustrator.
    I would be grateful for any advice on this,
    Thanks,
    Nick

    I don't really understand yoru end goal. However, the answer to yoru Eraser Tool question is no. There is no such thing as a "soft edge" for the eraser tool.
    The ways to blend objects in specific areas only would be:
    Gradients with transparent stop
    Gradient mesh with transparency nodes
    Opacity masks
    Fake it by blending to the same color as the background.

  • Table with rounded corners in CS5?

    I am dealing with an issue, I need a table with 2 rounded top-corners. The top row is a shade of black (and needs the 2 rounded corners.
    Here is what I do:
    I make my table with a regular straight angled top-row in it's own text-frame. Then adjust the frame to the table (cmd-alt-c). Select the arrow selection tool, cut the text-frame with the table. Then create a new text-frame with 2 rounded top corners. Then past the table into this new frame.
    What now happens is that the table does not snap to the 0 point of the new frame, but it insets on the left side. When I make it align right it does it the other way around. Plus the part of the top-frame with the shade of black does not cut of on the rounded part of the frame.
    I know another option is to create a text-frame with the rounded corners on exactly the size I need it in the table, and then paste this into the top frame of the table (making sure the inset is 0). But I would like to use this as a last resort.
    We have a preference for the first option I wrote about, since we are linking Excel files and then creating InCopy content. (If a table is not placed in a seperate text frame and then linked to the floating text, InDesign loses the link to the Excel.)
    Is this at all possible? From this site it seems it is ( http://www.justskins.com/forums/table-with-rounded-corners-117551.html )

    I first tried it in a text frame. Now when I do a 'paste into' in an image frame it seems to work, but now I have an extra frame in my workflow
    Table => text frame => image frame with rounded corners => text frame
    Ideal would be:
    Table => text frame with rounded corners => text frame
    But I am starting to believe that this is not possible in InDesign (since it moves the table in the frame)
    Now I will try to figure out if my Excel links will still survive in InCopy with the image frame option.

  • Rounded edges to a text field

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how do I make the edges of a text field to be roundod?
    Also, I need to change the look of a scroll bar.
    Should I use a L& F for that?
    Thanks.

    Does anyone know how do I make the edges of a text field to be roundod?This is not easy as far as I know.
    Also, I need to change the look of a scroll bar.
    Should I use a L& F for that?Yes, this is recommended. You can find many free and very good L&F's and some of them can have rounded edges of Textfields.
    One of the best L&F freely available is [Substance L&F|https://substance.dev.java.net/]. Try it out.
    Thanks!

  • Issues with Rounding in Scriptlogic

    All,
    I am currently on BPC 7.0 MS and I am updating script logic in our Finance Application.  The logic's intent is to spread an amount (total) to 12 periods evenly.  This is working just fine.  Where I run into my issue is my numbers come back with several decimal places so I need a way to round it.  Below is a piece of the code but I have not found a good way to round the =%VALUE%/12.
    Any suggestions?
    WHEN DATASRC     
    *IS *     
      *WHEN TIME     
      *IS %YEAR%.INP     
          *REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%/12,TIME=%YEAR%.001,DATASRC="INPUT")

    Hi Vineet,
    What was suggested to you earlier were 2 options for rounding up your values:
    1. Changing the appset parameter: If you use this option, then all the data in your database, will have the exact structure in terms of number of decimal places. If you say 25,2, then all the transactional records will have only 2 places of decimal.
    2. The other option, as suggested by man_noel, you can use the ROUND keyword in your script logic. This way, you are just rounding off the results, only. The other data remains the same as it was earlier.
    ROUND((%VALUE%/12),n)
    The above statement will rounf off the result to n places of decimal.
    Hope this helps.
