Hi
I need to create in runtime an image with transparent areas,
composed of =
many other images with transparencies - for example - I have
images =
with single letters(imported as PNG, all area outside of each
letter is =
transparent) and want to create one member which some text,
all area =
except of the text should also be transparent
My first problem is - first of all I should create a
transparent image
I do it in following way:
I create an image object, and then fill it with transparent
pixel, taken =
form the top-left corner of some letter-image
newImage =3D image(cWidth, cHeight, 32, 8)
newImage.copyPixels(srcMember.image, newImage.rect,
rect(0,0,1,1))
Is this correct or can I create an transparent image in some
other, more =
correct way?
Second problem - when I copy my letters into destination
image through =
next series of copyPixels commands , something happens to
transparency - =
it looks like semi trasparent pixels become more transparent
- and =
therefore sometimes almost unvisible.
Can it be that transparency of background fill affects
transparency (or =
multyplies with transparency) of objects, that are added to
the image =
later?
I could live with this problem until my projects run on PC,
but under =
MAC the created text looks awfull and I should in any way
solve it, it =
is very urgent, please help
Thanx in advance

  • Urgent problems with image viewing on my 20 inch Cinema display???

    I have a very urgent problem concerning my Apple Cinema 20 inch Display and my SpyderPro2 on my Mac Pro Intel Dual Core Xeon 2x 2.66GHz.
    I have been using the Spyder for some years now, but recently I have been having big problems with the results.
    I have a major contract with a jewellery company in London, where I clean up digital photos. Images that I have lightened up to look great on my Cinema Display have been reported by my client to look pretty dark on their PC's in their offices.
    Some of these images show lines and grubby patches??? To check this I opened files in Photoshop and moved the levels 'black' slider down quite some way, and did see evidence of what the client could see at their end? It seems that when I have used a faded eraser brush it leaves a light patch in between the shadows of the jewellery. This shouldn't be visible to the naked eye though?
    I must point out that when I use the eyedropper tool on images, to read the amount of grey or colour in the white areas around the peices, I am shown values of 1,2 or 4 maximum in the CMYK values. 4 percent out of 100 is nothing and should not be visible to the naked eye?
    How is it that my clients PC's can see dark shadows and where my eraser brush has rubbed out???
    I have tried many re-calibrations and also tested all of my older calibrations dating back a few years. I have also tested the same faulty images on Intel iMac's, an eMac, and a few PC's. On the iMac's I can just about make out the artefacts that my client can see, but nothing that I would deem as unacceptable.
    I am at a loss as to the fault, but It may be the Spyder2 Pro's inability to calibrate my Apple Cinema display properly? I may lose my contract which I cannot afford to do, and I simply have to find the cause ASAP.
    I have my Mac's in my office apartment next to two bay windows. I have vertical blinds there. When calibrating I have always turned off all the lights and pulled the blinds right back so that only the light from the two large window doors is coming in.
    For graphic design the calibrations seemed to be okay for quite some time, but recently it is getting harder to achieve good results with the Spyder? This could affect all of my workflow which is very serious. But I must stress that overall the Spyder results are not terrible. I can see good colours and dark levels and in general across all of my calibrated profiles, the jewellery looks acceptable on my Cinema Display?
    I did say to my clients that they should calibrate their PC screen properly but their offices have many Screens and they all show the same artefacts (some much worse than others)? I know that PC Screens are darker than Mac's but a 4% grey should not be visible????
    As these are a web company the images will be seen by PC users around the world and most of these will have no calibration on their screens. What can be done to prevent this and what is the cause of this? I can't possible please everyone, but as a creative professional I have to be 100% certain that my workflow is at its best.
    I need urgent help to solve this or loose valuable business? I hope that you are able to help solve this mystery.
    I have just purchased the new Spyder3 Pro which I hope will give perfect results but I have to find out what the cause of this is. If some of the fault lies with the client, I can charge these for all the testing and calibrating I have done.
    Kind regards,

    ideo-sync - inspired design.

    One thing you might want to try adjusting is the gamma setting in Displays Preferences color calibration area. Macs typically are set at 1.8 but PCs will often use 2.2. That could account for the difference.

  • Problem with images opened in Photoshop CS 5

    Hi, I have a problem with images that I open in Photoshop CS 5. F. ex. I opened
    the following image:
    The image appears with a purple color in Photoshop. If I hover over the image
    with a tool like lasso, it temporarily regains it´s original color. The image mode is RGB Color, 8 Bits/Channel.
    I resetted the start settings of Photoshop with the CTRL-Shift-Alt-combination, which had no effect.

    The confusion arises from the imprecise error message in the Preferences > Performance dialog box, to wit:
    OK, that seems to be open to misunderstanding indeed.
    The video card: Citrix Systems Inc. Display Driver.
    Could not find a list for CS6 specifically, but the card may fall short.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/tested-video-cards-photoshop-cs5.html
    If I invoke View > Proof Colors, the only thing that changes is that the text in the brackets
    Also if you set View > Proof Setup to something different?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

    Hi all!
    I'm writing a simple midlet just to display an image on the screen and I'm having some problems with Image.createImage()
    Here is my code

    e.printStackTrace();
    I'm getting an exception on bg_img = Image.createImage("/image.png");
    I can't understand what is it...:(
    I know for sure that the problem is not "file not found"
    Any one can help me???

    If you are catching IOException, then u may have problem with ur image path. "image not found on the specified path." if ur image is not in the current directiry then put it into current directory. otherwise, If u are using resouce folder and it is already included into the resouce path, then put ur image in that folder..try this..
    Still not get, then please give some detail about ur development toolkit. and ur apllication packaging scheem. are you using ANT?

  • URGENT Problem with Greek Character from an Oracle database

    Hello, I am having a serious and urgent problem with the character settings of an oracle database (8.1.7). The database is sitting in a solaris unix server and when we run the env command we have the following in the NLS_LANG parameter: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 (I do not know if this is helpful). When I retrieve data from oracle database (through a VB.NET 2005 program)to a dataset I use a special font in order to see the greek characters (HELLASARIAL). But when I am trying to save these data to a TXT file the greek characters are like Chinese to us. I tried several encodings (System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(869)) but without success. Can someone tell me how to convert the oracle greek characters during the selection or during the saving to the TXT file?
    Please respond as fast as you can.
    Thanks in advance

    Here is the answer of the microsoft:
    I have the information that you have a VB.Net 2005 application connected to an Oracle database 8.1.7.4 hosted on a UNIX server.
    This database has the CharacterSet WE8ISO8859P1.
    When retrieving Greek characters from this database in the application, you cannot see them.
    Could you please send me a screenshot of these characters in the .Net application?
    Are they displayed as gibberish, or as inverted questions marks (?)?
    I already had similar cases with Hebrew characters hosted on an Oracle database.
    These characters were displayed as questions marks on the client side.
    This is due to the fact that System.Data.OracleClient is using the Server CharacterSet to display the characters.
    If your Greek characters are not stored in the WE8ISO8859P1 characterset, then they won’t display correctly on the client-side.
    This is different from OLEDB where you could interact on client side by modifying the NLS_LANG parameter in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME0.
    The client NLS_LANG and the server CharacterSet had to match in order to correctly display the data, and avoid SQL*NET conversion.
    So there are two solutions to your case:
    - The first one is to create a new database using the P8 characterset. The Oracle .Net managed provider will so be able to use it and display the characters correctly.
    - The second one is to use the OLEDB.Net managed provider, and then use OLEDB for Oracle provider. OLEDB will take care of the client NLS_LANG registry parameter.
    Would it be possible to test your application against an Oracle database with WE8ISO8859P8 characterset?
    Would it be possible to test it with the OLEDB .Net managed provider, and after checking the NLS_LANG client registry parameter?

  • Problems with image scaling

    I'm facing a real problem with image scaling
    I've used several algorithms but it all has defects but the most common thing is the out of memory error after several enlargments...
    does any one know a solution...
    note:
    I've used several packages to do so,but I'm looking for a solution from the jdk itself
    JAlexscorpio

    Did you take into account that the getScaledInstance() -method creates a completly new Image?
    So if you use it like in
    ImageIcon icon1=new ImageIcon("Blah.gif");
    ImageIcon icon2=new ImageIcon(icon1.getImage().getScaledInstance(400,400,SCALE_FAST);
    you will end up with 2 different Images which have their own data and memory requirements.
    even if you use something like
    ImageIcon icon1=new ImageIcon("Blah.gif");
    Image i=icon1.getImage();
    icon1.setImage(i.getScaledInstance(200,200,SCALE_FAST));
    You will need enough memory to store the data for the original image, as well as the data for the scaled
    version of the image, at least for the time that it take the JRE to create the scaled version. You never know when the garbage collector kicks in to delete you old data so it could be that this takes some time and until
    that moment your memory is not available. If your now doing several of the scaling operations, and there is no chance for the garbage collector to do its work, you will run out of memory.
    I hope that might help, if not feel free to post again

  • Copy and Paste Problems with Images

    I'm having the strangest problems with images. I copy an image off of the web for one of my art history classes and I go to paste into another program but, whether it's Keynote, Powerpoint, Photoshop, or Graphic Converter, something always goes wrong: the images definitely lose some of their quality, become brighter in appearance, and get jagged on the edges. This is starting to drive me nuts, especially since it never happened in 10.4 on my iBook G4. Any suggestions?

    Make it an 8-bit file (Image menu > mode).

  • Experiencing problem with image display in LR5

    I have an intermittent problem with images displaying and exporting in LR. It just began a couple of months ago and is totally random - will do it with RAW (CR2) or JPG. It displays this way in all modules - Library, Develop, Slideshow....The image displays fine in a non-Adobe image viewer (Faststone or Windows Viewer). I've reloaded LR5 and PSCC and is still persists. I know the image file is fine. It also has begun effecting older images that were showing up just fine a while ago. I just loaded about 200 images and maybe 3 or so have this viewing problem in LR & PS. Has anyone else experienced it and have a suggested fix? My graphics card has the latest drivers and shows no problems with other applications. Here is the same image - one a jpg export from Lighroom, the other a save as jpg from Faststone. HELP!

    This is almost always a hardware problem, causing corruption of the file. The difference you see between Lightroom and other software is that Lightroom is accessing the full RAW image, while the other software is trying to read the embedded JPG preview.
    To figure out exactly what hardware is the problem, you need to try different transmission paths and hardware ... different camera cards, different card readers or USB cables/USB ports, different hard disks, etc. Eventually you should be able to isolate the problem.

  • My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

    My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

    I think that may be a consequence of the email provider she is using. Some services (AOL is one example) inspect and modify email attachments, particularly photos, resulting in reduced resolution compared to the email that was sent.
    The iPod does not do this. The resolution of the picture in the email she receives will be identical to what is imported.

  • Comparing two images with Imaging Lingo

    Hi everybody!
    Here's the deal: I have two grayscale images and I want to
    find out where they match the closest. I want to compute the
    difference between the two and find the spot with the least
    difference.
    So I copy one into the other with the #ink: 38 ("subtract")
    and wherever is the darkest spot the images are closest alike.
    Right? Wrong!
    When Director subtracts one color from the other and the
    result is below 0, Director adds another 256 so the result is
    always between 0 and 255. When I use "subtract pin" the result is
    almost completely black, so this doesn't help as well. I thought
    about simulation high dynamic range images with some stupid hacks
    but to no avail.
    Where am I thinking wrong? Can I compute the difference with
    Imaging Lingo? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Here's an idea: use reverse ink to copy one image onto the
    other. The areas which are most nearly white in the resulting image
    will be the closest match. You can adapt the code found at
    nonlinear.openspark.com
    to isolate the pixels that are nearly white.

  • URGENT: Heap space problems with image resizing

    I'm creating a Swing program, with an InternalFrame-type interface. One of the frames contains a .gif file background and then primitive G2D objects are drawn on top of it.
    The background image loads and displays fine at its original size, but I've added code for when the window resizes, and resizing the image causes the VM to give me an OutOfMemory exception.
