Is it possible to put a drop shadow on text added to an image?

Is it possible to put a drop shadow on text added to an image using Photoshop Elements 10?

Yes.
Open the Effects palette. In the drop-down. go to "Drop Shadows." You will find several listed. After you have applied, double click on the f on the text layer in the layers palette. This will bring up the Style Settings. Here you can fine-tune the shadow..
Note that in the drop-down referenced above, there are also Bevels which may enhance your presentation.

Adding an "IMAQ Image.ctl" to the "Display State.ctl" of an XControl prevents LabVIEW from creating a probe of "Display State.ctl"

I am working on an extended IMAQ Display control using LabVIEWs XControl capabilities.
I need a copy of the original image passed to add some overlays which must not affect the original image. To achieve this I am creating a backup image in the "Init.vi" and deleting it in the "Uninit.vi". I am storing the reference of this image in the "Display State.ctl" which is part of every XControl.
As soon as I am adding an "IMAQ Image.ctl" to the Display State cluster, it is no longer possible to generate a probe of the Display State cluster for debugging purposses. I am always getting the message: "Failed to load or create probe."
Deleting the "IMAQ Image.ctl" from the cluster makes the probe working again.
Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?
I am working with LabVIEW 8.5 and Vision 8.5.

Hello Mr. Bartsch,
is it possible for you to post a small example to reproduce the behaviour? It would be helpful to get a description in which way you use the typedef files.
I found a example/knowledge base where some informations were included to XControl and LV but not with Vision.

Adding/Editing "Old" Images

A number of DNG images already existed on my HDD prior to installation of LR3. Now I would like to bring them into LR. Only practical way that I have found is, in Library view, to "Move" them from one folder to another folder. Just completed that maneuver for a number of them. I had added five other images, using the "Copy" mode. If I open the catalog called "All Photographs", the five show up as grayed out (already imported).So the following questions suggest themselves:
Is there a way to import existing images, which does not involve creation of a new folder?
What could have happened to the catalog created when those were imported?
Is there a way to re-import an image without duplication?
tks,
jwc

You wrote:

No, unless you give them different file names. As a general rule, not only for LR, you cannot have 2 files with the same name in one and the same folder.
If for instance you rename an image file in LR and give it the same name as an already existing one, LR will add the suffix "-1" to the second file.
"Is there a way to re-import an image without duplication?"
Why would you want to do that? If it was possible you would replace one image-file with another that has the same name.
If images are already in the catalog and for some reason you want them twice in LR, you have to do what you did: put them in adifferent folder.

Mkinitcpio WARNING: No modules were added to the image.

I am trying to build a pf-kernel using this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … raditional
Everything went fine, but when I try to make the initramfs, I get this error:
mkinitcpio -k 3.13.3-pf-dbb-pf+ -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux-dbb-pf.img

==> WARNING: No modules were added to the image. This is probably not what you want.
==> Creating lz4 initcpio image: /boot/initramfs-linux-dbb-pf.img

I searched the warning message, but all the posts I found were related to other errors, like a "module not found" or so. As you can see, I'm not getting any actual error message, just the warning.
Is this message just because the MODULES line of mkinitcpio.conf is blank, or something else?

I definitely ran `make modules_install`. Twice actually, because I thought something went wrong the first time.
A find command shows that there are some modules, but only a handful. My guess is that I forgot to copy a good config before running menuconfig, so I'll try building again.
I was wondering why it only took 10 minutes to build.

Layout changed when I added spacing around images.

1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the divs. The elements within these divs have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.
2) No margin has been given to the columns since they are all floated. If you must add margin, avoid placing it on the side you're floating toward (for example: a right margin on a div set to float right). Many times, padding can be used instead. For divs where this rule must be broken, you should add a "display:inline" declaration to the div's rule to tame a bug where some versions of Internet Explorer double the margin.
3) Since classes can be used multiple times in a document (and an element can also have multiple classes applied), the columns have been assigned class names instead of IDs. For example, two sidebar divs could be stacked if necessary. These can very easily be changed to IDs if that's your preference, as long as you'll only be using them once per document.
4) If you prefer your nav on the right instead of the left, simply float these columns the opposite direction (all right instead of all left) and they'll render in reverse order. There's no need to move the divs around in the HTML source.

    <h1>Yellowstone Biologist    </h1>
    <h2>Mammals</h2>
   <p> Yellowstone is home to the largest concentration of mammals in the lower 48 states. Sixty-seven different mammals live here, including grizzly bears, black bears, gray wolves, wolverine, lynx, elk, bison, moose, and numerous small mammals.</p>
    <p>Visitors must view all wildlife safely. You must stay at least 100 yards away from bears and wolves and at least 25 yards away from all other animals—including bison, elk, bighorn sheep, deer, moose, and coyotes.</p>
    <h4>Bears</h4><img src="grizzly.gif" alt="grizzly bear family" width="150" height="115" hspace="15" vspace="15" align="left" />
    <p>Bears may be seen in Yellowstone March through November of each year. Yellowstone is one of the only areas south of Canada that still has large grizzly bears. Grizzly bears are usually seen in the open areas. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <h4>Wolves</h4><img src="wolves.gif" alt="wolves" width="150" height="115" hspace="15" vspace="15" align="left" />
    <p>
Loss of <em>habitat</em> and <em>extermination</em> programs led to the elimination of wolves throughout most of the United States by early in the 20th century. In 1973, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the northern Rocky Mountain wolf as an endangered species and designated Greater Yellowstone as one of three recovery areas. From 1995 to 1997, 41 wild wolves from Canada and northwest Montana were released in Yellowstone National Park. As expected, wolves from the growing population dispersed to establish territories outside the park. More than 1,600 wolves now reside in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. In August 2010, a U.S. district judge ruled against a <em>USFWS</em> 2009 decision to remove the wolf from the endangered species list, so wolves are protected as an endangered species in all three states again.<br />
    </p>
<h4>Bighorn Sheep<img src="BigHornSheep.gif" alt="bighorn sheep" width="150" height="115" hspace="15" vspace="15" align="left" /></h4>
    <p> Bighorn sheep once numbered in the millions in western United States and were an important food source for humans. They are named for the large, curved horns on the males, or rams. Females, or ewes, also have horns, but they are short with only a slight curve. In the winter of 1981-82, an outbreak of pinkeye occurred among bighorns in the Mt. Everts area. Many sheep were blinded and/or killed on the adjacent park road or by falling from cliffs. Some are now found comfortable around summer road traffic.</p>
    <h4>Bison<img src="bison.gif" alt="bison" width="150" height="115" hspace="15" vspace="15" align="left" /></h4><p>
    Bison are the largest mammals in Yellowstone National Park. They are strictly vegetarian, and they graze on grasslands in the meadows, the foothills, and even the high-elevation areas of Yellowstone. Despite their slow walk, bison are surprisingly fast for animals that weigh more than half a ton.</p>
<p>Yellowstone is the only place in the lower 48 states where a population of wild bison has survived since prehistoric times, although fewer than 50 native bison remained here in 1902. Fearing extinction, the park imported 21 bison from two privately-owned herds.</p>
    <h4>Bobcats<img src="yellowstone-bobcat.gif" alt="bobcat" width="150" height="115" hspace="15" vspace="15" align="left" /></h4><p>
    Bobcats are small wild cats with reddish-brown or yellowish-brown coats, streaked with black or dark brown. They have prominent, pointed ears with a tuft of black hair at the tip. </p>
<p>Unlike lynx, which they resemble, bobcats elsewhere have been highly adaptable to human-caused changes in environmental conditions; some biologists believe that there are more bobcats in the United States today than in colonial times. Yellowstone has many rock outcrops, canyons bordered by rock ledges, conifer forests, and semi-open areas that seem to offer conditions favorable for bobcats--adequate shelter, a variety of rodents, rabbits, hares, birds, and other small animals as well as seasonal carrion, for food.</p>
<p>Bobcats are known to hole-up and wait out severe winter storms elsewhere. These elusive cats are most active at night, so even those who study them seldom have an opportunity to see one.</p>
    <h4>Coyotes</h4>
    <p>
      Yellowstone's coyotes are among the largest coyotes in the United States. Adults are about 30 pounds, are less than two feet tall and vary in color from gray to tan with sometimes a reddish tint to its coat.</p>
    <p>Small mammals are an important component of coyotes' diets. In Yellowstone, such prey include microtines or voles, mice , pocket gophers, small birds, and in spring and summer, ground squirrels. They also feed on larger mammal's (elk, deer, bison, moose, pronghorn, and bighorn sheep) calves and fawns shortly after birth and young animals.</p>
    <h4>Elk<img src="elk.gif" alt="elk" width="150" height="115" hspace="15" vspace="15" align="left" /></h4><p>
      Elk are the most abundant large mammal found in Yellowstone and historical evidence confirms their continuous presence for at least 1,000 years. More than 30,000 elk from 7-8 different herds summer in Yellowstone and approximately 15,000 to 22,000 winter in the park. </p>
<p>Bulls grow antlers annually from the time they are nearly one year old. When mature, a bull's "rack" may have 6 to 8 points, or tines, on each side and weigh more than 30 pounds.</p>
    <h4>Lynx</h4>
<p>Adult lynx are about the size of a large domestic cat. Males can weigh up to 30 pounds, while females are smaller. The similarity between lynx and bobcats makes it difficult to determine their status in Yellowstone. A large adult bobcat may be larger than a small adult lynx, so size is not a good characteristic for positive identification.</p>
    <h4>Moose<img src="moose.gif" alt="moose" width="150" height="115" hspace="15" vspace="15" align="left" /></h4><p>
    Moose, the largest member of the deer family, were reportedly very rare in northwest Wyoming when Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872. Moose breed from early September to November and one to three calves are born in May or June. Calves weigh 25 to 35 pounds at birth but grow rapidly; adult females (cows) weigh up to 800 pounds and males (bulls) up to 1300 pounds. </p>
<h4>Mountain Lion</h4><p>
    The mountain lion, also called the cougar, is the largest member of the cat family living in Yellowstone. Mountain lions can weigh up to 200 pounds, although lions in Yellowstone are thought to range between 140 and 160 pounds for males and around 100 pounds for females.</p>
<p>Mountain lions are rather secretive, so most visitors are unaware of their existence in Yellowstone. Lions probably live throughout the park in summer. </p>
    <h4>      Amphibians</h4>
    <p>
    Cool, dry conditions limit Yellowstone's amphibians to four species: boreal toad; chorus frog; spotted frog; and the tiger salamander. Population numbers for these are not known.</p>

This has happened before, where everything in my content area has dropped down below the sidebar.It's happended on several pages. I don't know why or how to fix it. It's for a class, so where I've posted it is private, but here's the page and css code.
HTML

Murray is right. Padding (and margins) is added to the width. However, when using percentages, you should never use figures that add up to exactly 100%.
Browsers need to convert the percentages to pixels. Because pixels must be whole numbers, some percentages are rounded up, which results in the final element dropping down below its neighbours. With percentages, it's much safer to use values that add up to 98% (99% often works, but 98% is safer).

Question about adding tags to images and music

Hi I have an artist page online and I have read that adding meta tags to your page does absolutely nothing to help search engines these days and then someone recommended adding tags to the images on my site using aperture (which I cant afford) so can anyone explain if I can do this in iphoto or photoshop? and also can I add tags to the mp3's available on my site to better perform in search engine searches? can i do this with itunes?
Thanks in advance

The search engines have to be lead to your music/photo page using an appropriate URL and having a text description with as many relevant "key" words as possible.
Also, you need as many links to this page as possible from other sites as well as your own pages.
When I enter one of my own song titles and name into Google, all the top listed links are sites that sell digital downloads and CDs. Have a look at the way these sites list your music to see the most effective way of doing it on your own website.
Obviously, you first have to add your URL to Google, Yahoo etc and get them to verify your sitemap.

Why do I get an error message when trying to Extrude and Bevel my image?

I am making a logo for a friend and he wants something similar to the Stark House symbol. (The Direwolf) but as a dragon instead. I used the pen tool to make the shape, and now I want to fill it in and make it more 3D. I can't fill it in properly and my image gets an error message when I try to Extrude and Bevel. Why is this?

error message,
Is the path/shape closed?
Selecting it and Ctrl/Cmd+J should close it if not, then you may try again.
You may also have a look in the Document Infor palette with Objects ticked in the flyout and the path selected.

Adding links to Images

How do I add links to images? Unfortunately, I am unable to add a link to an image in my document. I selected the image but the "add link" option is grayed out. The inspector feature is very different in this new version and I am unable to figure out how to add links. Please help. This is very frustrating.
Thanks for your help in advance :-)

This isn't theory, it works.
Place a Text Box over the top of your image. To do this, you will need to select the Text Box, and from the right-panel Arrange tab, select Move with Text, and for Wrap, turn it off entirely.
With your text box still selected, use the Arrange tab to reduce the size of the Text Box until it fits inside your image with perhaps a 1/4 inch margin from the image edge. Type a @, #, or * character, then select a font-size large enough that multiple characters expand to just fill, but not overflow, the Text Box. You are creating a fog of characters that you can assign your link too. Still in the Text Box, select All, and then right-click, and choose Add Link. Once you have typed in your link, click outside of the link dialog to set it, otherwise, it will launch your browser to that link destination. Select your textual link again (command+A), and changing to the Style tab on the right-panel, reduce the opacity of this text content to zero. You now have an invisible link inside your Text Box.
Check your final Text Box positioning over your image, then select both, and from the Arrange tab, group and final position your Text Box/Image combo where you want it in your document. Save. Export to PDF, and the linked image still works.
The same principle applies to Text Boxes and Shapes where an image has been set to fill the background of the object. When you add text over the image within the shape, follow the process for adding hyperlink and reducing its opacity.

Adding logo or image to email signature

I have added my logo (a jpeg image) to my email signature. When I send an email to someone else who is using an Apple mail program it opens up fine. However, when I send an email to someone who is using, for example, a yahoo mail account, the logo does not show up on the actual email, it shows as an attachment that must be clicked on to open.
Does anyone know how to embed an actual logo/image onto an email signature so that it will be seen in an email regardless of what type of email program they are using without having to click on it? thanks

Jessie,
I would love to help you (and anyone else in your situation), but it seems I can't duplicate your problem. I read your post before going to work this morning, and I sent myself an email (from Mail at home to Lotus Notes at work) with a signature containing a JPEG. Notes, arguable the worst email client out there, showed the JPEG in-line.
I don't have Outlook or Outlook Express, so I cannot test those, but I'd be happy to receive an email from you so I can see what comes across. You need to send it to my work email because that's the only place I have an email client other than Mail running. The address is dkiechle followed by an @-sign followed by amadeus.com.
We can do the opposite as well: I can try to send a test email to one of the addresses that you used to see if my signature shows up with the graphics element in-line. Would be pretty instructive, I think. I can do this if you provide an address; however, I can only do it in a few hours from home as I don't have Mail here at the office.
One interesting thing to check: in Mail, there's an option to "Always send Windows-friendly attachments". Can you check if it is enabled or disabled in your configuration of Mail?

Adding search for images to site

My site consists of images from my portfolio.
In redesigning my website and adding a backlog of work, I'd like to add a search capability in which a viewer could enter (or select) keywords and a results page would return links (with thumbnails) to images matching those keywords.
I'm not even sure where to start--would I need the images in a database with keywords assigned to them, for instance?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Mark

Hi Jo,
You can't add the images directly to the assets folder directly. You need to add the images to the pages for them to appear under assets.
For updating text in every instance, the best way to do so in Muse is to place the text on a Master page and apply it to all the desired child pages. So all you would needed to do is to update the text on the master page and it will updated on all the associated child pages.
Hope this helps!
Cheers!

1.5.2/1.5.3 Adding Grain to image (bug!)

Morning all,
Found a nasty little bug in the way Aperture creates the image being made ready for editing with the external editor (in this case PS2).
A screengrab of the issue can be found at http://danielcuthbert.com/grain.jpg.
The image to the left is a drum scanned tif file, with NO grain, yet when you go through the motions of editing with the external editor option, grain is introduced and not in a nice manner.
I've turned off noise reduction, but this has got me confused as why the grain is being added
thoughts?
Dual G5 2ghz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

sorry. my bad. I will install version 1.5.2 again and see what I will get. I uninstall it already a while ago. I only remember a lot of things are not loaded (most of my program coding classes?) which doesn't make sense to me since everything loaded well with other version. I will test later on and post the the error message here. thank you

When adding a tween, images become pixelated

I've used timline/animation in Photoshop for awhile, but just noticed, when I add tweens between two images, the original images become pixelated when I save as animated GIFs.
Test #1
Photoshop file with two layers -- each with a photograph
Timeline: frame 1 has image from layer 1 and frame 2 has image from layer 2
Choose Save For Web and the images look pretty goodI realize that GIFs are only 256 colors
Test #2
Create Photshop files as in Test #1
Add a tween with 1 frame
Choose Save For Web and the images look pretty good
Test #3
Create Photshop files as in Test #1
Add a tween with more than one frame
Choose Save For Web
The images are now pixelated

All but one tween and an image is no longer pixelated, OR
All tweens and an image is no longer pixelated
In other words, Saving For Web is fine as long as I don't add any tweens. As soon as I do, the images become pixelated. Take out the tweens, the pixelation goes away. And, I have tried to make all kinds of adjustments to the GIFs.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks--Robert

HI Jeffrey:
I can surely post some photos (screen shots from the Save As Web interface) of what I'm talking about and share the PSD file as well.
• First image before Tween
If you carefully look at the light brown vertical paint just behind the girl's right shoulder -- no big pixelated dots. And the guy's sweatshirt looks fairly smooth in transitions from highlights to shadows.
• Second image after adding Tweens
You'll now notice all the extra dots -- especially in the vertical brown paint job and other parts of the wall and his shirts.
And it gets worse with other images/animations I've recently created.
One thing I didn't mention is that I noticed this a few months back. This morning, I realized that's when I got rid of my old trusty 21" CRT monitor and got an LCD flat panel. I hooked up my old CRT and the dots are gone! But that doesn't resolve the issue of why when you add tweens, does it pixelate.
Here's a link to the test.PSD file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/109581077/test.psd
Any help would sure be appreciated! And if you need me to create a video of the steps I'm doing, I can do that to.
Thank you!

Adding photo collage image to slide show in photoshop elts 9

I created a photo collage page using photoshop elements 9 and saved it as a jpg file. It looked clear and sharp on screen. When creating slide show, I added this page but when I play the slide show full screen, the image for this page is blurer than normal. Other regular photos I added in the slide show are ok. Why does this happen and is there a way to overcome it?

Maybe it's me, but... scoobie... i don't think your reply has anything to do with her question lol. I believe she's saying she is having trouble figuring out how to do something, not that the program is crashing.
Anyway, I'm starting a similar slideshow project. I think it's easiest to simply edit the photos in iPhoto. Photoshop is on a different level from iPhoto and obviously has capabilities iPhoto lacks, but I think it should be fine for just editing digital photos.
One of the things you said was "how do you format... resolution"
I don't think iPhoto can change the resolution of a photo like photoshop can, but since you want to make the FINEST quality slide show I assume you'd want to scale the resolution up... and although photoshop can do that, I don't think you'll see a significant increase in quality. It won't look anything like if you had actually taken the photo at a higher resolution.
As far as importing pictures into iMovie goes, that should be pretty easy. If you click on the "media" button in iMovie, and then click on the "Photos" tab on the upper right of the window, it will display your iPhoto library the same way it would display it in iPhoto (organized by albums). You can then drag whatever photos you want to include to the "timeline" at the bottom of the screen.
I'm not sure what to tell you about pixel ratio and RGB vs. CMYK....
The last step, exporting to iDVD is just as simple as adding pictures... just click on the "Share" menu at the top of the screen and select "iDVD". What you do from there depends on what kind of final product you want... and I haven't actually used iDVD so I would just be guessing on that part lol.
Also, I suggest going here: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/imovie/index.html and looking at the tutorial. I viewed most of the movies there and they were helpful.
