Possible to merge two image files, but keep separate channels?

I have Image A with seven selections saved as channels.  I have Image B with eight selections saved as channels.  I want to put A and B side by side in the same file.  If I expand canvas in Image A and cut & paste B into it, the eight channels for B are lost.  Is there a why to retain both sets of channels with my selections?  I can't quite wrap my mind around how to make this work of even if it can work.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

The best workaround I can think of is to make the Background Layer of the files a regular Layer and Group it (command-G), then add as many empty Groups in that Group as Channels are to be transported.
Afterwards load each Channel as a Selection (command-click the icon in the Channels Panel) and add it as a Mask to one of the empty Groups (click the Layer Mask-icon, third icon from the left at the bottom of the Layers Panel).
After that the Group containing the Layer and masked Groups can the moved together.

    Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
    2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
    But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
    1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
    Thank's in advance again,

  • I want to convert two image files into strings and than to compare them. This is easy, but how to mention where the difference exist?

    I have two image file in bmp file format. How to convert them into string and to check if they are differnt or same. If different how to mention or find that where the difference exists. This idea have to be extented with video application as well.

    Hi,
    if you have vision, you could use the functin IMAQ Image to Array to have a 2D array of the pixel values.
    You can then compare pixel by pixel; if your images come from a camera, I would recommend to set a treshold of acceptance.
    This is a time consuming solution anyway.
    Alternative methods:
    1) Make a subtraction of the two images, the resulting image will be the difference of them
    2 ) Use IMAQ LogDiff function (operators palette)
    3) Calculate the histogram of both image and compare the histogram reports
    Good luck,
    Alberto

  • Insert PDF into new Adobe Form - merging two PDF files into one

    Hi everyone,
    I need to enable access to archive PDF files but within a new PDF file containing header and footer.
    Request is not to change archived PDF files at all.
    I use Web Dynpro application to upload PDF file and to display new PDF file.
    I thought converting archive PDF files into JPG files and than using an 'Image Field' object to display those in a new PDF file.
    I am dealing here with PDF version 1.3 files.
    I am also having trouble converting these PDF files into JPG files. Any sugestions one this problem?
    Does anyone have any suggestion on how to deal with this concerning the fact that archive PDF files can not be changed?
    Is there some other way to merge two PDF files into one using Adobe Designer?

  • IO - Read two image files and put them into one file

    Hi,
    i have 3 files in all. The two image files and one text file. I need to place the image in the first image file, followed by text in the text file and then the image in the second image file, into one file.
    Can anyone tell me how do i go about doing this ?
    i tried using fileinputstream and fileoutputstream, which works fine if all the 3 files have text but when the first and the third file have image, the code doesn't give any error but the result file displays only the image from the first file and nothing else.
    i am running short of time and need to do this really soon.
    if anyone has done anything like this. please let me know,
    thanx,
    poonam

    One approach would be to programmatcally create a single zip/jar file from the three input files. You can use the java.util.zip and java.util.jar packages for this purpose.
    The other apprach would be to create a single image by drawing images and text strings on a BufferedImage object.
    I think the first approach is preferable because you can easily extract the individual files from the zip/jar file

  • Merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader

    Does anyone know how to merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader. Is it even possible?
    Thanks

    If you've got a Mac and OSX you can do this in Preview.  Make sure you can see the sidebar with the first PDF opened, and then drag the second PDF to the bottom of the last page in the sidebar.  Also you can reduce the size of your saved file by selecting (or making) a Quartz filter to 'reduce file size'
    Cheers

  • Is it possible to play two audio files simultaneously.

    Hi,
    Is it possible to play two audio files simultaneously.
    I modified the 'SpeakHere' to play two audio files simultaneously, it worked perfectly on simulator but get hanged on iphone.
    To this I implemented NSTimer, which regularly checks for both player instance every second.As soon as any player gets stopped Timer task stops the second one forcefully and again starts both.
    thanks.

    Hi Jay
    Do you have the eLearning Suite? If so, you have Adobe Presenter available to you. If you don't, you should be able to download the Presenter installation file and evaluate it.
    Presenter is an add in for PowerPoint. The neat thing about it is that it provides for a Table of Contents type of functionality as you see is configured in Captivate. But the twist with that is you are able to do something you cannot do in Captivate. You are able to insert videos inside the TOC area!
    Just musing out loud... Rick

  • Joining or merging two movie files

    If I want to join or merge two movie files (.m4v) into one, can I use one of the included applications on my iMac (iMovie, QuickTime, etc) or do I need a 3rd party app? If so, could you recommend one please?
    Thanks!

    On a related note-
    I have imported my "Das Boot" onto my drive, so I don't have to pull out my CD's. Food for thought before I go on any further - the files show up as ".dvdmedia". Since this version is the uncut 4 hr long version it is on two different CD's which converted into two files. How do I, if possible, make these into one file? I also have and am planning to import "Ben Hur". I tried to use iMovie (I have iLife 09') and it said I needed to "upgrade" to iMovie 3 (no luck with that one).
    Any legal suggestions?

    In Firefox 11, how do I clear temporary internet files, but keep history?
    You can email me the answer at (Email removed by mod)
    Thank you!

    I'll go ahead and explain it since you said the link wasn't working for you:
    1. Open up Firefox. In the upper left hand corner, click the orange Firefox button.
    2. Inside the menu that drops down, click on Options, then go to the "Advanced" tab in the upper right hand corner of that smaller window.
    3. Inside that window, you should see some smaller tabs, one will be "General" another "network" etc. Click Network.
    4. Inside the Network tab, under "Cached Page Content" click the "Clear Now" button. That will remove the cache (which is the same as temporary internet files in Internet Explorer).
    Let me know if that helps you out.

  • Ok, my problem....merging two unique files batch Process

    Ok, my problem....I have been deconstructing films, so I have thousands of picture files for batch processing in Photoshop (Resizing etc) What I would like to do is batch merge two or maybe three lots of deconstructed film footage image files from different sources, one as a background film image file and one as the forground film image file layer, thousands of images all at once, after they have been processed first in photoshop, so I have seperate folders with the image files in each folder, they need to be combined in sequence as I want the image/frame numbers to match up in each folder, then combined to non merged layers and saved into another folder, I want non merged layers, so I can use an action later to balance the overlay. I know premiere and After Effects could maybe do this, but I am looking for a different kind of effect.....thanks

  • Merging two images....

    Here's one for you guys....
    I have a bunch on JPG images (50+) that I've taken that I want to add a "copyright" to.
    I use photoshop, and the copyright is just text created in PS and saved as a PS file (IIRC I'm at work ATM).
    What I would like to know is....
    Can you merge the two images putting the copyright in a set location over the JPG and saving the file. (and then deleting the original).
    Is photoshop the best thing to use is possibly another question.....
    Thank in advance

    Automator is not the answer. You need an image editor like Adobe Photoshop Elements or maybe GraphicConverter
    It would also help if you gave a bit more detail-preferably in a new thread-of exactly what you were trying to do and why you cannot do it.

  • Is there a way to change the actual song file but keep the 'info'?

    I have a compilation that took me a really long time to edit (by which I mean put the date for each individual song in because they were all released different years becaues it's a Bob Dylan compilation and I have smart playlists for each decade from the 50's upwards) and I want to change the actual file in itunes but keep the data, is there any way? It'd take ages to do again because it's a 3-cd album. I'm trying to change the file because the one I have is approx 200kbps bit rate and i want to have a different, 320kbps version that i've downloaded. I've tried opening the file in explorer and deleting it so that i can 'locate' the file again to the one i want to replace it with, but it changes the song title, album artist, and tags etc to the new file, whereas i thought it would just retain the information but change the actual file it played.
    i've had a really hard time explaining this i'm sorry if it's unclear. i was just wondering if there was any way to avoid the painstaking process of googling each song to find its release date and manually entering it when i already have a perfectly organised album.
    i can't find anything anywhere about this, presumably because i've no idea what the key words for the search would be, so i'm sorry if this is common knowledge.
    thanks in advance

    VBR vs. CBR isn't a concern as far as the strategy is concerned. As given it is slightly easier if the replacement files have exactly the same files names and folders as the files they are replacing (case doesn't matter) but if that isn't possible we can work around that too.
    Not my area but I think CBR gives larger files and less processing overhead for the same quality, which is a somewhat nebulous term. I'm not sure there is any real benefit.
    Yes a script is just another kind of a program.
    iTunes gives each track in the database a unique ID and knows the path that the file is supposed to live on. If you replace the original file with a different file of higher bitrate that has the same filename then iTunes will use that new file next time it wants to play the track. When it does so it will also read the tag and update itself if any of the information is different.
    The original function of the ExportImport script was to help someone else rescue play counts from an old library database. If works by scanning through selected tracks and writing out a text file that contains an ID for each track and the data that wants to be copied back later.
    Here is a sample output from the export:
    <#>iTunes Metadata - Exported 19/12/2012 20:03:58
    <ID>E5C69360-306A28AF
    <#>AC-DC\AC-DC Live\1 Thunderstruck
    <Plays>12
    <ID>7C1D487C-3414298C
    <#>AC-DC\AC-DC Live\2 Shoot To Thrill
    <Plays>12
    <ID>0DCF32CE-1079174E
    <#>AC-DC\AC-DC Live\3 Back In Black
    <Plays>15
    Each block consists of the iTunes track ID, a comment so we humans can see which track this is, followed by one or more properties. I can write you a custom version of this script but I need to know exactly which properties you need to save and then restore. For example Name, Year, Genre, etc. You need to compare a new and old version of one of your songs and work out which fields need resetting in the new song to make it match the old one.
    Having saved a file with the information that would otherwise change, you can then delete the older copies of the file, or better yet move them to a backup location, then copy in the new versions. If the filenames match iTunes will "see" the new files automatically, otherwise my FindTracks script can normally fix the broken links. Once iTunes is connected to all of the new files you drag and drop the saved text file onto the ExportImport script to run the import phase. This applies the saved data to each track in turn.
