Resizing images on two layers to the same size?

OK, it's kind of difficult to explain but what I am trying to do is create posters in pages and I am pasting photographs in there from different layers of the same photo and then resizing them. But the trouble is getting both to the same size, is there an autosnap feature for this or something?
I find it kind of irksome when I create an image and resize it to a specific dimension in preview then copy+paste it into a Pages document of the same dimensions and it resizes it smaller.
How do I get it to the same size without manually dragging the corners with my mouse?
Does that question make sense? Can anyone help?

Actually I just found a neat way to do it in GIMP (great peice of software BTW) the question remains of how to resize it in Pages...

A way to resize images so that all are the same size??

I've got a minor complaint about InDesign going all the way back to version 1.0. I have a bunch of square images that I want to drop into a layout and then resize so that they're all the same size, e.g 2 inches wide (constrained height) or something. However, all the tools I've tried to make this work only resize all the images by percent, so the ones that started out larger are still too large. Its frankly a huge source of stress, since there's no easy "Actions" palette as in Photoshop and I don't want to resort to real scripting. Can anyone tell me if there's a way to resize images absolutely in the layout?
Thanks in advance!

Change your first frame using the control panel's H and W fields. Then
select the rest of the frames and use the object>transform
again>transform sequence again individually command.
But you'd really be better off creating one and then using step and
repeat to get them all correct. Use the frame fitting options before
placing any graphics and you'll be good to go.

How can two pictures of the same size still appear to be a different size? (Photoshop CS6 problem)

I called the big webdesign file "(X)" and the image I wanted to paste in it "(Y)",
so that you won't be confused when you read it.
What Happened
For the design of a webpage, I made a photoshop-file(X) with a lot of squares(X). These squares(X) had the size 9,42×9,42 centimeters.
I measured the squares(X) carefully and also made sure the size was in centimeters, so I am sure that the size was 9,42×9,42 cm.
My plan was to fill the squares(X) with pictures(Y). I had a map on my computer with a lot of square-sized JPG-images(Y) in it. All I had
to do was open the pictures(Y) in photoshop, change the size into 9,42×9,42 centimeters and copy+paste them into the squares(X)
of the webdesign. I did this before and it worked perfectly.
But then, I opened one of the images(Y) and when I wanted to resize it, the resize-tool said it was only 3,25×3,25 centimeters big.
I thought it was strange, so I copied+pasted it into the design-file(X) with all the squares(X) that needed to be filled. Allthough photoshop
had told me that the squares(X) in the file were 9,42×9,42 centimeters big and the image(Y) I resized was 3,25×3,25, the "small" image(Y)
turned out to be bigger then the squares(X). And when I resized the "small" image(Y) into 9,42×9,42 centimeters, it was even bigger
than it was before. How can this be, and how can I still make the images(X&Y) the same size?
What I already tried
- I made the file of the webdesign(X) with all the squares(X) into one layer, copied the file(X) and opened a new file(X) with the same
measurements of the old file(X). I also changed the resolution of the file(X) into pixels/centimeters instead of pixels/inches.
Then I pasted the image(X) of the old file into the new file. I didn't work; the image(X) that I pasted in the new file was bigger and
when I pasted the other picture(Y) in this image, the same problem was still there.
- I also opened the picture(Y) in photoshop, made a screenshot of it and then pasted the screenshot into paint. With paint I cropped
it again and saved it as a JPEG-file. After that, I opened the image (Y) in photoshop again. It now had the size of 11,27×11,27 centimeters.
Then I resized the image(Y) into 9,42×9,42 cm, but it still wasn't as big as the squares(X).
Could you help me please?
I really don't understand why this problem is happening and I can't think of a solution because I am still quite unexperienced with photoshop
and I also couldn't find the answer on the internet. I assume the solution is very simple, but I haven't found it yet allthough I have to finish this
project soon and I also have to use the image(Y). So any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks,
Simone

You need to understand the basic of a digital image.
Image is recorded as pixels and image is a rectangle so many pixels wide and so many pixel high. Pixels do not have a fixed size. The images resolution setting defines the image current pixel size.
So for example if you have and image that is 300 pixel wide and 200 pixels high and set its dip resolution to 100DPI the image size is 3" wide and 2" high. Set its dip setting tp 300DPI the image size becomes 1" wide by 2/3" high. Both the 3" x 2" and the 1"x2/3" images have the same 60000 RGB Colored Pixels.
Web pages are sized to to be so many pixel wide and so many pixel high. Often the height is not enforced scrolling is used when viewing.
However image for web pages often must not exceed so many pixel wide and high for displays have a fixed resolution and a fixed number of Pixels. You want images to fit on users displays. Users use different displays some have high resolution displays and other have low resolution displays with far fewer pixels then high resolution displays.
Web Image are normally image that have been interpolated down in number of pixels a resampled large image so that web image will fit on a low resolution display with limited number of pixels. The image size the user see depend on the display they are currently using. A low resolution display's image will be much larger then the same image displayed on a nexus 10 with a 300dip display. Cheep low cost Desktop LCD have a 84DIP resolution, large high cost desktop displays are not be much higher in resolution somewhere near 108DPI. Tablets, Laptop and Phones can have much higher resolution like the nexus 10 300DPI IPS display

Two threads in the same class ? Is that possible ?

Hello, I am trying to use threads to move two images around the frame. And I am wondering if it is possible if it is possible to create two separate threads that act differently in the same class, for each of the image.
Is just that so far I can't see a way since, by implementing Runnable, I'll need to overwrite the run() method. Which in a way just allows me to manage one image.
Of course I can do two separate classes (each implementing Runnable) for each of the image, but since I think it may be an overkill, I rather to do it in just one.
So, is that possible ?
Thank you in advance.

Of course I can do two separate classes (each implementing Runnable) for each of the image,Use two instances of the same class. Something like this example:

Putting two separate images side by side in the same document

Hello
I'm new to the community and hope I'm posting this question in the right area.
I've downloaded the 30 day free trial of Photoshop CC 2014 and I'm attempting to put 2 separate images side by side in the same document based on an instructional video I watched on Lynda.
I know of one way to do this but, the Lynda's instructor method made things look so much easier and quicker to do.
He didn't create a new canvas or make any image size adjustments.
He basically imported 2 images, used the move tool to drag the open image and drop it in the the tab heading of the other image.
After doing that, he ended up with two layers, the background layer and the "layer 1" layer.
He then was able to use the move tool again to position layer 1 in the document and then use the expand all option (I think it was) so both images were visible side by side.
He moved the layer 1 layer to the far left that it almost wasn't visible and that's why he used the expand all function.
The problem I'm running into is, I'm not getting the "layer 1" after doing the drag and drop.
The only layer I have is the background layer.
The odd thing is, that was the only layer he had as well after he did the drag and drop.
But, after he gave the tip of holding the shift key while the drag and drop was being done to center the images, it was then, the layer 1 layer appeared in his layers pallet.
I tried holding the shift key as well and I still can't get the layer 1 to appear.
I've watched the video a few times to see if I missed something he did and i can't see that I have.
How do I get layer 1 to appear so I can complete the rest of the process described in the video?
If any members here have full access to the Lynda videos, this is the one I watched:
The instructions for this particular process is about half way through the 4 minute video.
I've sent basically the same question to Lynda but it could take up to 3 business days for a reply and I was hoping someone here might have an answer sooner.

Trevor,
Fleming doesn't want to extend the canvas, mind you.
P Fleming wrote:

He also doesn't want to drag layers but drag image tabs.
And the video tutorial ends up with two different images on top of each other, contrary to his initially desired "side by side" arrangement.
It's all for the birds, IMO.

How to resize watermark to be the same size for vertical/horizontal images?

I am using File -> Place menu to place my watermark onto the images.
No matter what I try so far, the absolute size of the watermark comes out different Portrait/Landscape images.
Watermark is smaller on Portrait and larger on Landscape images. I tried resizing writing in the number of pixels during the File->place command, but no luck. Photoshop resizes the watermark based on the percentages, and I don't know why image orientation matters.
ideally I want my watermark to be the same size, and I can use absolute pixel dimensions if needed. How do I do this?

Hi Doug - What exactly are you trying to do? Is the third
child being added dynamically, and you want it added above the
first child? If so, you can use the addChildAt() method when adding
the child to the container. addChildAt() takes an index and the
child object is added at that index and all other children are
reshuffled to maintain the ordering. IE:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="vertical">
<mx:TitleWindow layout="vertical" id="tw">
<mx:Button id="a" />
<mx:Button id="b" click="go();"/>
</mx:TitleWindow>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function go():void
var c:Button = new Button();
c.label="new";
tw.addChildAt(c, 0);
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
Does that help, or am I misinterpreting what you're trying to
do?

Free Transform multiple layers at the same time (only selected part)

Hi,
i have two layers - one contains color and second one contains outline. I want to select a part of the image and free transform both the layers at the same time. (so when i for example move or rotate the selected part of my example, both the color and outline moves at the same time). Layers must stay separated, process must be sort of quick, i would love to use this all the time when drawing etc.
- Only way i managed to make this somewhat happen was to select the desired part of the image -> save the selection -> new layer via copy (on first layer) -> reselect the saved selection -> new layer via copy (on the second layer) -> select both of the new layers -> free transform. Warp doesnt work but other transforms do. But still this process is too slow and distracting even when having all the required commands hotkeyed. Is there a faster way?
Any tips are welcome!

@Trevor.Dennis
i did understand, but as i said ctrl clicking the new layer only selects visible pixels in it, and my layers dont cover the whole canvas, especially not the outline layer, so ctrl click will only select that noodle of pixels and thats not usable in the other layer. (doing selection in the other layer first isnt a solution)
Better description of what exactly im after:
im manually drawing characters and i keep the their black "ink" lines/outlines on separate layer from the color layer. From time to time i want to transform small part of the character, lets say warp or rotate just its leg to fix or iterate, but i want to transform both the outline and color layer at the same time with that rotation so i see realtime how it looks. I would use this all the time if it was doable quickly. Transforms and puppetwarp are so powerful when drawing that as last resort i will have to switch to drawing everything on single layer.

Share a library between two users on the same mac?

It is possible to share a library between two users on the same mac?

It's doable. As it's been pointed out Aperture has no provisions for file locking so you can't have two users accessing the library at the same time. This includes having one user having the library open only for browsing. Aperture doesn't have a +Read Only+ mode, when it opens the library, even if you make no changes to any images, the library will be written to.
This also means you can't have one user open the library and then stop using Aperture but still have the library open and then have another copy of Aperture open on the library.
Of course if you have two copies of Aperture running even they are on different libraries you'll be in violation of the license and you'll have bigger problems to worry about then a toasted library.

Adjusting multiple images to be the same size?

Hi,
I'm trying to create a photo collage in Photoshop that consist of multiple photos imported as Smart Objects into layers, that are all the same size. Ideally, I'd like to be able size/crop/scale each image as a group, or individually, on the fly. So lets say that I have 6 images as Smart Objects on layers, and that they are all of varying sizes, and I'd like to adjust each image to be the same precise size, 2" x 3". Maybe later I decide that they should all be 2.5" x 3."5, can I easily change all 6 images at once? I've tried going into Free Transform and changing the size of each individual image here, but I can't get the precise size that I want. Is there a way that I can open a dialog box, and specify the exact size? Can I then repeat this for all images/layers that I've selected?
I hope this makes sense, and that someone has a brilliant idea on how to do this?
Thanks!
Jeff

Image Processor doesn't get me what I'm after.
Photoshop has the option to create a contact sheet. So imagine that I want to create a contact sheet of images, but keep them on separate layers, and be able to change the size of the images as I feel, to fit my collage.

How do i create one source file that feeds two users on the same pro book?

how do i create one source file/folder of photos that feeds two users on the same pro book?

Well you can do exactly the same with a folder of photos, just put in the Users/Shared folder.
Iphoto is a mite more complex than this. It's a database and so there's a bit more involved.
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

How to make this two things at the same time ?

Hello
When my mouse is on a area, I need :
- to show a object (a rectangle inserted with the toolbar)
- to show a caption
I think it's not possible to do this two things at the same time when I use the rollover functions (Rollover caption or Rollover Image).
I would like to use a button, but the button works only if I click it, and not when I just pass my mouse on it.
Someone have an Idea?
I can't use Javascript.
Thanks

Rick is correct. You can use the Rollover Slidelet's rollover area to trigger an Advanced Action. You'll need to create this Advanced Action with two clauses. One to SHOW the caption, and the other to SHOW the rectangle.
Your alternative to the rollover slidelet is to use an Event Handler widget attached to the object that the mouse should roll over.
The Event Handler will detect when the mouse is over the object and trigger its own Success criteria. You can then use the widget's ON Success event to trigger the Advanced Action as mentioned above.
More information about using the Event Handler here: http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-widgets/download-free-trial-widgets
An example of using it to do two different things on the same object can be found at this web page: http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-advanced-elearning-tutorials/beat-adobe-ca ptivate-interactive-catch22
Trial versions of the widget can be downloaded from here: http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-widgets/download-free-trial-widgets

When I OCR two versions of the same document and then compare th documents in Acrobat Pro XI, I usually get the message that there are no changes to mark. However, I know there a quite a few number of changes. I raised this question more than a year ago

When I OCR two versions of the same document and then compare the documents in Acrobat Pro XI, I usually get the message that there are no changes to mark. However, I know there a quite a few number of changes. I raised this question more than a year ago, and the response I received had to do with the quality of the OCR and the scans of the documents. However, if I use Acrobat Pro XI to save the same documents in Word and then run a comparison in Word all of the changes are marked. When a PDF is saved as a Word document in Acrobat Pro XI, is a different OCR module being used than the one used in Acrobat Pro XI for text recognition?

OCR is only for recoginition of the image / picture of text provided by an scanner.
Content typed into a Word file which is converted to a PDF is (in Word and in PDF) *not* an image or picture of text - it is the digital text. So, no OCR involved.
When the "digital" (renderable) text of a PDF's page content is exported to Word no OCR is involved.
When a PDF's content is from the image output of a scanner and this is a picture of text then OCR comes into play.
If this content is exported to Word before doing OCR then it is the image that is exported to the Word file.
Once OCR is performed it is the OCR output that is exported.
OCR output is (always will be) impacted by "the quality of the OCR and the scans of the documents".
Regardless "Compare" is based on a Word file output to PDF1 then edits to the Word file followed by an output to PDF2. You use Acrobat Pro to do a compare of PDF1 & PDF2.
Paper 1 scanned to image 1 to image 1 in PDF1 that gets OCR 1 and
Paper 2 scanned to image 2 to image 2 in PDF2 that gets OCR 2
being processed with Acrobat Pro's Compare can certainly be done.
But - well you've described what can be observed.
Be well...

How do I apply the blur filter to all my layers at the same time?

Hi I'm working on a background for a web page and I want to try how different filters are going to affect all the layers. Is it possible to apply a filter to all the layers without flattening the file first? Thanks very much,

Hello!
There is no need to flatten the file, but you can create a layer that merges all the content of the image, and apply the filter on that layer.
Target the topmost layer, by holding the Option and . (period) keys, then create a merged copy by holding down Command Shift Option E.
