Adding multiple image stamps to a layer

Hi Guys,
I am new to Photoshop scripting and would like to make a short video from the layers in my document. I have made a test video manually with 8 frames and it looks good. Thing is I need to do ~200 now and 8 took me all day (hence the scripting).
I have been looking at the Applescript method for scripting the creation of the layers. A bit about what I want to do:
- I have a set of 9 image stamps I want to arange in each layer (3x3) with a little white space between each.
- Each stamp is an image of a star and I want to cycle through ~200 images for each star to show how their shapes change over time with atmospheric turbulance.
I have 200X9 images and placig them all by hand would be extremely teadeous :-)
Can anyone suggest the best way to go about this? I am open to using Java Script also but can't use VBScript on my macbook.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Cheers
James

A different approach to Collages in Photoshop may be found here. There are may ways to something in Photoshop. Some are better then others and others can do thing not possible in an other. When in come to Collages there are so many thing one can do. I have seen some packages for Photoshop the are very fast and others that do thing their way or randomly. My package may not be the fastest but I believe my template rules are very easy and strait forward and you should be able to create just about any collage template you need just use your imagination.
Photo Collage Toolkit
There are eight scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.

Adding multiple images for tiled background?

Hi,
I'm having some trouble trying to add multiple images to the my tiled layer class. I can't figure out a way how to add these images to my current code. My goal is to add at least 4 images onto the screen.
Here's my code:
private void buildBackground() throws IOException
        Graphics g = getGraphics();
        Image tileImageOne;
        Image tileImageTwo;

        TiledLayer tiles;
        try
            tileImageOne = Image.createImage("/tile_1.png"/*, "/tile_2.png",
                    "/tile_3.png", "/tile_4.png"*/);
            tiles = new TiledLayer(11, 14, tileImageOne, 20, 20);

I've read the API.
But the thing that confuses me is the uploading of images. I can't figure out how by uploading different images can the code recognize which one would go into the tile.
-I know in the api it shows different numbers to display each tile used with a specified image. But I can't figure out how to code it.
Here's my attempt
private void buildBackground() throws IOException
        Graphics g = getGraphics();
        Image tileImageOne;
        Image tileImageTwo;
        Image tileImageThree;
        Image tileImageFour;
        TiledLayer tiles;
        TiledLayer tiles2;
        try
            tileImageOne = Image.createImage("/tile_1.png");
            tileImageTwo = Image.createImage("/tile_2.png");
            tiles2 = new TiledLayer(11, 14, tileImageTwo, 20, 20);
            tiles = new TiledLayer(11, 14, tileImageOne, 20, 20);
            int[] grid={
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,

Adding multiple images to site and how to avoid copying/pasting identical text on different pages

Hi guys, I've been using DW up till now and have been recommended to try Muse.
A couple of questions that I have been unable to answer by searching ...
1) I want to transfer all images from my old DW site but can't find a way to add these to the new site's assets. Can I only add images manually to a page for them to appear under assets?
2) In DW I used iframes to have the same text appear on different parts of a site. This means that when text about a product changes, it updates in every instance rather than me having to copy and paste into the different instances. Is an iframe the best process in Muse or is there a better way?
Thanks in advance for advice,
Jo

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!

Is there a way to add multiple images at the same time to Keynote 6.0?

I just brought keynote after searching online about adding multiple images to a presentation all in one go - I couldn't do this on the powerpoint version I was using but there were multiple references on google to being able to do this on keynote. I purchased it and now can't get it to work! Any ideas anyone? Thanks

Do you mean like dragging in multiple images and having one image go on each slide? If so, you just drag the images into the Slide List on the left instead of onto the slide. From this prior post.

Multiple Images Import template?

Hi folks,
First of all, I cannot find the link to product import templates anywhere after an hour's search. That is just wrong!
Secondly, as I remember seeing one, it doesn't offer multiple views of a single product. But i've seen stores with multiple product views.
Can someone direct me to the proper database templates and import files for adding multiple images to a product?
TIA

Hi Liam, So are the poplets connected to the product database and is there a way to bulk upload them with the csv file? Or does this have to be done individually by hand? If there isn't a place for the additional items in the csv file, then it seems they aren't directly linked in the product database?
I think I found the template before when I was doing research for the BC product in the product information area and not in the actual product import area. I couldn't see the download template until after I pressed product import. That was very deep in the system, with multiple clicks to get there.

Cannot stamp multiple images anymore

running v 3.2.1 and I cannot stamp multiple images any more. I can lift and stamp one at a time but when I select to end and attempt to stamp it only stamps the last image in the batch. any help is appreciated!
Thanks Dave

Hello Dave,
Check if you have "Primary only" activated.
That looks like a case of "Primary only".
If you have set the "Primary only"-flag, any changes only apply to one image of the selection.
Uncheck the button with the "1" in a square above the film strip.
You can also deselect this option from the "Edit" menu.

Adding multiple slides with images from iPhoto

OK you use to be able to simply drag and drop 25 images in the right column and it creates a slide for each image, I am in v6.3 and it is not allowing me to do that anymore. How you insert multiple images and each on their own slide, I have 600 images to add and clicking insert slide and adding image is not a good way to do this.

Your Mac information is confusing;
Mac OS 10.5.2 is an outdated version of Leopard
There is no Keynote version 6.3
The latest version of Mac os X is 10.10.3
The latest version of Keynote is 6.5.3
All versions of Keynote create slides from images by drag and drop.
If you are sure this does not work, delete Keynote and re-install from the Mac App Sore.

Stamping presets to multiple images doesn't work in 3.3?

I used to be able to lift adjustments from one image select multiple images and stamp multiple images at once. This doesn't seem to work in 3.3. Can someone verify please?

The hot key is ⇧⌘V (in the main menu bar : Metadata > Stamp Metadata and Adjustments) and this hot key also works for me on multiple selected images, provided "Primary only" is not enabled, as William pointed out. But I usually keep the Lift & Stamp HUD open, to be able to deselect some adjustment.

Stamping multiple images

I've been using Aperture for about two years, and was one of the early adopters of A3. Until recently, I've had no real issues to speak of, but now when I try to stamp multiple images, or even select a couple images to apply a rating, only the last image in the group actually gets the said stamp or rating. I don't know if I accidentally changed a setting, or if this is the beginning of a greater issue.
Actually, I think it is a bigger issue, as one of my other Aperture libraries recently started not being able to edit in Photoshop, stating the file type was not supported, and the permissions seem to be messed up. I now can't open that library unless I open another one first and then switch.
Does anyone have suggestions for a fix?

To rebuild the Library, hold down the Option>CMD key on launch of Aperture. This should do the trick.
Did you also try to quit and relaunch Aperture?

Adding keywords to multiple images stopped working

When I was first using Aperture, I was able to select multiple images and add a keyword in the metadata area, and they keyword would apply to all the images. After a few months, it started to only apply the keyword to ONE of the selected images (whatever was the last one selected). Ever since, I've had to use the lift and stamp tool instead, but that's vastly more of a pain.
A friend who also uses Aperture still is able to select multiple images and have the keyword apply to all, and he has the latest version of Aperture. The feature worked with all his versions of OS X 10.4, and now with Leopard too.
So what gives? Anyone know if there's any way to fix this?

Yes, there's a way to fix this. Press 'S'.
This toggles something called 'Primary Only' which controls whether all selected images are keyworded, rotated etc. or just the image with the thicker white border.
You can also change it via Edit>Primary Only where you will see a checkmark if it's active, and also via the control strip at the bottom of the window, just to the left of the rotate buttons.
Ian
P.S. I can recommend downloading the podcasts from http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/aperture/, one of the ones with Joe Schorr specifically goes through Primary Only among other things.

Import multiple images to one layer

I want to make a sprite. I have the sliced button psd images. I don't have the original psd file so I have to reassemble them in psf. The problem is I want to import all the button images to the canvas and then reassemble them. Photoshop let me put one image down and I guess it wants to create layers for the 2nd and 3rd image.
I don't need all those layers but I can't figure out to export all the sliced button images together into one layer? I tried selecting all images in the bridge and holding down the shift key to drag them to ps. This seems to have created a smart object of all the images combined on a second layer. I couldn't delete the object but ended deleting that layer. So my question is how to import all the sliced buttons into one layer?
Thanks

Once all the images are on their own layer, if you want to then put them onto a single layer, you can merge the layers. In the layer panel click on the icon in the upper right hand corner and select merge layers from that menu.
or right click on all selected layers to select merge layers
If you have a smart object, right click on that layer and select rasterize layer
Flatten layers will work as well but locks the resulting layer as a background.
Play around with the menu option next to merge layers and see what they do to multi-selected layers or to layers that are hidden. Very useful once you start using them.
Another hidden tip: Selecting all layers and using the key combination shift-control-alt-e will make a merged copy and place it at the top. {replace control with the mac equivelent if your on a mac}

Adding/Deleting keywords for multiple images

Well, I'm finally paying the price for bad keyword management and I'm trying to clean up my nightmare of a system now but running into trouble.
I'm using Lightroom 3.2.
My workflow follows one of two types:
1) I'm shooting something specific (soccer games) and I import the shots and immediately assign the appropriate keywords (soccer, which kid it is, which tournament it is)
2) I've taken shots of multiple events/subjects and I haven't had time to download and organize. I will then import with a 'file later' tag so I can easily search and keyword them later and then re-use the card.
Well 'file later' is now about 3000 images! Doh!
I'm going through and properly assigning them but I'm having a lot of trouble with what I *think* should work in Lightroom.
There are several things here:
First, if I choose the 'File Later' keyword, it will pull up the metadata filters options on the top of the grid view. No matter what I do, I can't make it go away. If I do get it to go away, I wind up viewing ALL my pictures which is not what I want.
Second, if I choose multiple pictures by ctrl-clicking or shift-clicking, It appears I can assign a keyword to multiple shots. I cannot REMOVE a keyword from multiple shots. Lightroom seems to only want to remove the keyword from one picture at a time even if they are all selected.
Third, the painter tool does not work...at all. Enabling it and then selecting and applying or removing does nothing.
So, what am I looking for here?
Organizing for these should be pretty easy since most are in blocks and I can apply the same keywords quickly. However, removing the keywords one at a time is a huge pain.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

First, if I choose the 'File Later' keyword, it will pull up the metadata filters options on the top of the grid view. No matter what I do, I can't make it go away. If I do get it to go away, I wind up viewing ALL my pictures which is not what I want.
This is the filter dialog - of course if you close it you turn back to All Photographs. Try creating a Smart Collection based on your File Later keyword - this collection will automatically populate all your images that have that particular keyword. Once you have keyworded the pictures from e.g. one particular shot, just remove the File Later-KW and those images will disappear from the collection.
Second, if I choose multiple pictures by ctrl-clicking or shift-clicking, It appears I can assign a keyword to multiple shots. I cannot REMOVE a keyword from multiple shots. Lightroom seems to only want to remove the keyword from one picture at a time even if they are all selected.
I'm not sure why you can't remove keywords from multiple images - it just works fine here by selecting multiple images and delete the keyword.
Most of the times I use the Keyword List to assign/delete keywords because in my opinion it is the easiest way - I just browse thru my list or filter for a particular kw and tick the box on the left.
Creating a hierarchical keyword list can further simplify your work. For example the location: organize the final keyword xyz-Soccer Stadium into other keywords like Town>County>State>Country>Continent>Places, then you only have to tick the last keyword xyz-Soccer Stadium and with that assign all of those keywords in the hierarchy (I know thats kind of a complicated explanation...but I suggest you play around a bit and then you will get the full picture ).

Adding keywords to multiple images

After Re installling Aperture (reinstalled entire system when persistant mail problems got the better of me) I can no longer add k/words to multiple images as I could before. I recall oringally having the same trouble but cannot remember now how I solved it. Am I in the wrong veiw mode perhaps? I am correctly selecting multiple images its just when I drag the keyword/s to one of them that is the only one that will receive them. Any ideas would be grartefully received.

Magic, thanks for your advice people, Merry Christmas from downunder Im knee deep in paper wrapping as I write and no doubt will find all my gadgets without batteries by days end.

Adding keywords to multiple images - Help!

I'm getting really frustrated. I've been a long time iPhoto user, but my husband bought me Aperture and I'm trying to move to it. . . .anyway, I'm trying to add keywords to some of my pictures (I miss my "hot keys"). I have the Keyword Controls open on the bottom of the split view window and I've set up a variety of keyword preset lists. . . Anyway, the problem that I am having is when I select multiple images to apply a keyword to, it is only applying the keyword to the "primary" (meaning the boldly outlined in white) image - even though the other images as selected (outlined in a less bold white boarder) the keywords are not assigned to them. It's like I have to add the keywords to each image one at a time. I've looked at a bunch of the material online and it's clear to me that you are SUPPOSED to be able to add keywords to multiple images at a time. Anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for the tip, it was really bugging me! Pitty you cant just click on the Keyword in the display rather than have to drag and drop it! I know you can use the control bar but for each item here I think a max of 12 or so are displayed, when you use hundreds of keyword to catalog medical images its not very handy, iphoto was much easier in this regard!

Adding same keywords to multiple images

How can I add keywords, or change keywords, to multiple selected images at the same time instead of having to do it one at a time? Or can I? I know how to change or add to metadata on multiple images, but it won't retain the keywording changes on all the images.

Be sure you are selecting multiple images in the GRID mode in the Library panel not the FILMSTRIP mode. Then if you add a keyword to multiple images it will actually stick. You can also delete keywords from those selected images.
