And again - how do I superimpose an image over a moving image?

So I am beginning to work this all out...
I have cropped an image using motion which is looking great, except that the image (which is someone's head) is square because I used 'crop' in motion, any ideas how to make the edges curved?
The next step is working out how to keep the superimposed image over the head of the person in the video if they move? ie so it tracks the original image in movement?
Thank you all for your help so far, I never expected help like this so quickly!

Hard to follow you when you're creating new threads on the same topic...
First of all - don't use Motion to crop - that's easily done in FCP - if you want to follow the edges of the head, use the Mask tool in Motion.
Second, there's a video tutorial for using the tracking tools in Motion here:

How to overlay color image over a grayscale image without IMAQ?

I would like to display a color image over a grayscale image; I would like the color image look translucent. How would I do this without using IMAQ functions? I am currently displaying my grayscale image using Intensity Graph.

Transparency and overlays are really just arithmetic on the images. It
is either done by the windowing system or by you. At the moment you
can't set transparency on LV controls. You can set it on LV floating
windows on some OSes, but then you will need to have the windows lined up.
A more direct approach is to lighten or darken the color image elements
based upon whether they will display over white, black, or a shade of
gray. If the images don't have the same size pixels, this will have a
first step of resampling th
e images so they do. Then combine the pixels
using the transparency you were going to apply to the color and the
shade of gray beneath it. I'm being vague here because there are lots
of physical models for combining colors.
If I look in my paint program I see about fifteen, so this is where you
get to make a choice and decide if black behind a red pixel is black, or
dark red. It all depends on whether these are two transparent
images(acetate sheets) backlit, or is it a transparency over a
nontransmitting media like paper. Anyway, if you can be more specific
about what you want, none of this is hard, typically just scaling the
int32s, adding, and some sort of normalization.

How do I superimpose a video over a picture?

How do I superimpose a video over a picture?

First, go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
Drag the Photo to your project.
Now select the frames that you want from the clip in your event library. You can get the whole clip, or a selection. Your selection will have a yellow border around it. Click inside this yellow border and drag it to your photo. Drop it at the point where you want the video to be superimposed and drop it on the photo. A popup menu will appear. Choose CUTAWAY.

How to set up a time default when moving images into FCE

I am making a combined video and still image movie. I have over a 100 images that I am importing. When I put the images on the timeline they automatically are at 10 seconds. Is there a way to change the default? I want most of them at 4 seconds and I don't want to edit down everyone I put on the timeline.

Yes there is!
Choose Final Cut Express>User Preferences (or hit Option/alt Q)
In User Preferences change the Still/Freeze duration from 10:00 to 4:00
Then Import your stills they will all be of a 4 second duration.
You're sorted.
Hopes this helps

PLEASE HELP ME to put an image over a background image !!

Hello,
I need help on my AWT program. I have a map being displayed, and would like an image of a car (car.gif) to be displayed over the image of the map.
So my question is: How do I make this map a background image, and put the picture of the car right over it. I need my map loaded all the time, and the picture of the car will be reloaded many times over the same map, so a class method to load this map would be perfect. Any help, code, or suggestions would be great. Thanks so much!
Here is what I currently have for my map.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class MyImage extends Panel {
    private Image im = null;
    Graphics g;
    public void getMap(){
      im = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("C:\\test_map.gif");
         MediaTracker tracker = new MediaTracker(this);
         tracker.addImage(im,0);
         try {
             tracker.waitForID(0);
         }catch (InterruptedException e){}
             repaint();
   public void paint(Graphics g){
        this.g = g;
         if (im != null)     {
            g.drawImage(im,0,0,this.getWidth(),this.getHeight(),this); //706,397
    }

Look at this sample, the car will start when the button will be pressed, and stop on the next press.

How do I stop Bing taking over my Google image search?

I am researching images in Google for tips in Illustrator - I get inspiration for my work (design). I click on an image (in Google images) and all of a sudden my page has changed to Bing which contains a whole new set of images in a different order and most of which I've seen before - and I have to start over!!! This is getting to be tiresome to say the very least. Is there a way I can stop this happening. If I want to use Bing, surely it should be MY choice to do so!?? Yours, "hi-jacked".

Hi C3D_RickGraham,
When the HD that's serving as the destination for the backup reaches full capacity it'll begin to "feather" the past backups in an effort to free up space. Here is a pretty good summation of how it works (the best I've found):
http://www.appleinsider.com/print.php?id=3297
Essentially, it'll start deleting the oldest known version of the file. For example, if you have a file that you created 6 months ago and have modified 25 times in those past six months it'll begin to delete some of the oldest versions to free up space for new files. It'll "archive" the previous backups, so rather than it having an hourly view of the file it'll switch to a weekly or a monthly version of it, based on how old the file was and how often it's been accessed.

How do I superimpose a darkfield image on brightfield image and then chose color range from the darkfield and only keep what I selected in the color range?

Hi
In the previous version of photoshop I was able to superimpose images of brightfield and darkfield insitu hybridization. I would adjust both images to same size and resolution. The darkfield image I would change the hue saturation to red so that now all the brighspots appeared red. Then I would open a new photoshop image and then drag the brightfield first into the new panel and then drag the red darkfield image on the brightfield. So now you can only see the red dark field layer on the top, THen using range I would select the bright red spots on the dark field and press delete. This would keep all the dark red spots on the brightfield image and all the other dark spots from the dark filed would disappear. This way I would superimpose all the brightest red spots from the dark field image on the brightfield image and this way I would get red signals on the bluish brightfiled image. I am unable to do this using photoshop on CS6. I am pasting the darkfiled image on the brightfield image (rather than dragging them) . Then using range when I choose the color range and then hit delete button I am unable to clear the unwanted dark field sections. Can anybody tell me what I should do on the new Adobe photoshop 6 (64 bits).
Thanks

That question may be better answered with a goolge search. It not something most Photoshop users would be doing. More science then normal image processing.

How do I superimpose one image over another

How do I super impose one image over another?

Open image A
Open image B
On image B, use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object which you wish to "superimpose"
Go to Edit menu>copy to put the object on the clipboard
Go back to image A
Go to Edit>paste. The object will be on its own layer
Get the move tool out of the toolbox, and position the object and resize, if indicated

Image, ImageView and CSS - How?

Hi Again,
How can I style an ImageView -> Image -> URL from CSS?
Cheers.

It would be nice to see how this is done directly to the Image/ImageView but here's a workaround.
public class ScreenBackground extends CustomNode {
    //default image
    public var url:String = "http://blogs.psychologytoday.com/files/u40/funny-cat.jpg";
    public override function create(): Node {
        return Group {
            content: [
                ImageView {
                    image: bind getImage(url)
    function getImage(url:String){
        return Image {url: url}
"ScreenBackground"{
    url: "http://samueljscott.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/homer_simpson.jpg";
}You should get a picture of homer simpson and not a funny cat.
Also, how can you specify {__DIR__} inside the css property url value?
Cheers.

How do I stop Firefox from grabbing my saved images and coverting them to Firefox?

I am working on images in Dreamweaver and Adobe Photoshop, and when I try to save them, Firefox coverts them into Firefox images with a Firefox icon and then I can't edit them properly in Photoshop or Dreamweaver. How do I stop Firefox from grabbing my saved images? in English

I will try that, but it's pretty time consuming to have to check that for each of my images. I am a web designer and I work with a lot of images.
Is there any way to set that globally for all of my saved images?

I have just started to use Muse for our design agency and learning how to build ourselves a new site, I have managed to create a basic lightbox which contains sliding images, what I need to do now is have a pop up window which goes into detail about the projects, what I would like is a piece of text or icon that when you roll over it and then click a separate window pops up with additional information in, once finished reading the info you can then click to close the box, any advice on how to do this?

The best way to do what you're asking is with the Composition widget. Start with the Tooltip preset, which, by default shows the info on rollover. You can change the option to show on click, which is what you're after. You can also add the close button or have the info disappear on rollout.
