Apply mask to last image

I have created a banner with several images, each one with a
mask and motion tween that reveals the image below each other. My
issue is, how do I apply the mask/motion tween to the last image so
that all of the images have the "wipe" effect? Right now, the last
image is revealed, and it jumps to the first image without the
"wipe" effect.
TIA

And a darned good thing, too. :)

Last image settings for auto apply adjustments?

We're testing the watched folder setup for LR3 and it seems to work fairly well. One very big snag we've come across though is with using auto apply adjustments and the apparent lack of a 'use previous image settings' option.
We're using DSLR Remote Capture for the live preview functionality using a 7D and have LR set up to watch the Lightroom folder setup by DSLR Remote Catpure. It would be fantastic if LR would automatically apply the last settings used to the new image file that pops up in the watched folder. The flow and flexibility this would allow for would be ideal.
Did I miss this setting somewhere or does anyone know of an easy workaround? I'd really prefer not to have to save custom presets everytime which is the only workaround I've put into practice so far. It's a clunky way of doing things and really racks up a whole bunch of presets that are only really relevant to a single shoot.

Lightroom doesn't support Liveview on the Canon's (7D in this case) and many studios and photographers need to use Liveview while working. This means that tethering directly in to Lightroom is a no-go since Liveview isn't an option.
The solution to date is to shoot using the Canon software or OnOne's Remote Capture to a target folder on the computer.
understood.
Lightroom can be told to watch the folder and import the files as they become available, however LR moves the files and the capture apps are no longer able to see them.
Why does the capture app (i.e. EOS Utility) still need to be seeing them?
Re. the 'last settings used'...
Let's say you're tethered to an app that is not LR for capture purposes and you're having LR automatically import the captures. The ideal workflow would be to have LR leave the files in their original location as it can do when not using the watched folder. When the photographer is on set and captures are coming into LR, they typically will tweek things like colour temp, levels, curves, vignette, etc. in LR. Each time the photographer takes a new capture, they're forced to copy paste the settings used for the previous capture. This is extremely annoying and cumbersome. While lightroom can apply presets to incoming images, it has not allowed for the option to use the last settings from the last imported capture. Currently we either have to copy/paste settings or save the current settings as a preset and have them applied as new captures come into LR. Given that we're often tweeking the lighting, focus, etc. each shot, or short series of shots, is often different and applying the custom preset still requires further tweeking in LR. If everything is aok (lighting, focus, composition, etc.) and we're simply capturing for variations of the subject or talent, it would be incredibly fantastic if LR would simply apply the settings used from the last capture. I should note that no other raw software out there right now can do this either (C1 Pro for example).
OK, I can see what you mean now. So more specifically, the setting you'd like to see copied to a new capture is the one from the last imported photo.
An easy workaround I can suggest is to
have a named preset called "Last Image"
always have this preset applied during import
update the preset values of "Last Image" every time you adjust something on an image
By doing so, you don't have to manage preset names for different purposes, "Last Image" just contains all the settings from whenever you last chose to update it.

Applying changes to multiple images . . .

i'm relatively new to macs but i've been using aperture comfortably for the past few months.
having just returned from a long photography trip and upgrading aperture to 1.5.1, i'm finding that i am unable to apply changes to multiple images like i used to, such as: selecting multiple images to rotate or selecting multiple images to apply the "stamp."
when i try to "shift-select" multiple images, the change i'm trying to apply affects only the last image clicked-on in the "shift-select" grouping. does that make sense?
has anyone else encountered this?

You most likely have the Primary Only option turned on. Turn off that option in the Control Bar.

Selecting a group of Images? only last image getting adjustments?

sorry if this is a stupid question, but when I select a range of images and apply image rotation or stamp metadata, only the last image in the selection gets the adjustment that I apply to the images.
It seems that when I select the images, the whole group has a white boarder around it, but the last image has a thicker boarder around it, and that is the only image that will respond to a change. I must have hit some weird short cut key to turn on that option, how do I turn that off?
Please I need help asap, it's driving me insane. Thank you

There is a rectangle box on the bottom of the Aperture screen that is the primary only box. If you have that selected only the primary image will be adjusted.

Mask / Masking Using an image with transparent bg

Flash CS4
AS2
Okay - so I must be missing something here -but perhaps people here can help me.
I have a flash movie, and I want to apply a mask to it. The mask I want to apply, or rather, the "shape" of the mask I want to apply is an external image that was made in photoshop. The shape is an irregular one with a bunch of jagged edges. the shape itself is solid, with a transparent background. I've tried saving it as a PNG with transparent b/g, and I've tried importing the PSD file directly into Flash - however - when I go to use this shape for a mask, the mask that is applied is an entire rectangle bounding the imported image - rather than along the edges.
Hopefully you can see what I'm trying to do here, and perhaps offer some insight on how I can get this image into flash (let's stick with the idea that the jagged edged manner of the image is too difficult to recreate inside of flash)...
Thanks for your help!

okay...
so I did this now - and now there is no bounding box - there is no box at all - and it's done a reverse mask....
okay - so let me explain the movie.
The movie is a page peel - it peels from the bottom right corner, peels back, and up to the left across the whole page - So basically, I've taken this image of a corner peel - and using motion tween - made the peel larger and larger - and effectively what it does it looks like it's peeling from the corner this parchment paper with a jagged edge... to reveal a blank parchment below it. So I'm trying to set the parchment paper as a "mask" to hide the parts of the animated "peel" that aren't on the parchment - effectively it will make it look like a full page peel away... which is why I need the mask to be the parchment document, rather than the bounding box around it - because then it looks like it's peeling away a transparent square film that is laying on top of this parchment image...
okay... so with that more explained I'm hoping....
Now - I've used the setmask() as outlined in the adobe flash documentation - and now there is no bounding box - but instead wherever the peel is during the animation the parchment shows under that peel animation, and no where else - so it's done a reverse masking... and if I reverse the parameters outlined in the documentation (which isn't right) the peel still shows, but now the parchment doesn't show at all... ugh... either way I still see the full size peel which is now larger than any bounding box that was there before...

Is it possible to use the mask from one image in other images?

Hello,
I'm prepping a product shot to send to a designer. I always create a mask to 'drop out' the background, so that the designer can pull the product into InDesgin without picking up any of the background.
I would like to send the designer 3-4 versions of the same shot, with small changes to the shadow detail etc., but I would rather not spend the time creating the same mask 3-4 times.
Is there a way to create a mask on one image, and then copy that mask and place it in the other choices? Its the exact same shot with the exact same crop so each image would be an exact duplicate.
I realize I could ask him to choose and mask his top choice, but there is a bit of a time crunch here and a few layers of people to make the final selection, so it would make everything I lot smoother if I could simply send him the finished product without creating a lot of back and forth.
Thanks so much for any help!
Ellen

If the images are exactly the same size then make sure the layer with the mask
is the active layer and in the other documents go to Select>Load Selection and choose
your document with the layer mask under Source document and under channel choose the layer mask.
After the selection loads press the layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers panel.

Last image placed in the document comes up as being modified constantly

I have an indesign issue.
Running CS4 (6.06) and CS5 (7.0.4)
On snow leopard 10.6.8
On a Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel Xeon
My problem is that when I have a document with images in for some reason it seems that the last image placed in the document comes up as being modified.
I do the required update everything appears up to date save the job and the same link will again show as being modified, so I get in to an infinite loop.
This happen with documents saved locally and on a server, with documents I created and documents I have picked up form other artworkers.
It is not an issue with specific link as we have seen this in many linked images, I tried to identify a trigger for this problem.
I took 4 images placed them into a document save locally in my desktop opened closed the document after each image was placed, it work fine for all 4 images on there own. I added a text box to my document saved and the last image placed then flagged are being modified in my links panel, I deleted the image that was flagged as modified from the document and saved, as soon as I saved the next image in placed order now came up as being modified (this image was not flagged and being modified when I have 4 images placed).
If I remove the text box from this document at any point then no images are flagged as modified.
Just to confirm. This in not based around one document, specific images or one mac. I didn’t have this issue with 10.5.8 and Older CS4 on the same machine.
Please help??

You said this is not an issue on just one machine. Does this mean that other machines are alos showing this behavior?
The first thing to try for any flakiness like this is: Replace Your Preferences
That said, this sounds like it coud be some sort of conflict. Are you running any third-party plugins?

Loading only last image

This code is loading the xml correctly, populating the mainClipArray correctly, but only adding the last image to the stage.
I think it is not waiting for completeClipLoad() to complete. I tried removing :void from the function to see if waiting for a return would do it, but no luck.
Any ideas?
CODE:
var myXML:XML;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var mainClipArray:Array = [];
var counter:int = 0;
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("portfolio.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeXMLLoad);
function completeXMLLoad(e:Event):void{
    myXML = XML(e.target.data);
    var len:int = myXML.portfolio.unit.length();
    for(var i:int = 0; i<len; i++){
        counter = i;
        mainClipArray[i] = new pane();
        //Load small image
        var smallfilename = myXML.portfolio.unit[i].small.filename;
        myLoader.load(new URLRequest(smallfilename));
        myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeClipLoad);
        mainClipArray[i].x = i * 15;
        addChild(mainClipArray[i]);
function completeClipLoad(e:Event):void{
    trace("made it in");
    mainClipArray[counter].addChild(myLoader);
    trace("added child");

Delaying the progress isn't going to help if you still have only one loader. I would say that you could move the var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); line inside the loop so that you have a new loader instance for each loading occurence, but then you would also need to adjust the completeClipLoad function to use the event target (e.target) instead of "myLoader". But that still wouldn't resolve matters completely because you have that counter variable that will be working as fast as the for loop, with the loop likely finishing before the first item gets loaded... and since your completeClipLoad also makes use of that variable, you'll end up with only the last pane object being used.
If you want to control the order of loading and retain the code in the one place (the other suggestion offered above having the code inside the pane could also be a viable approach), then a better strategy is to to use a programmed loop rather than a for loop, where only one loading occurs at a time and the completion of one loading triggers the next to begin. Something like (this is just an outline form)...
counter = 0;
imgArray;
function completeXMLLoad(e:Event):void{
     ... // process all the xml into the imgAray
    loadSmallImage(); // start by loading the first image only
function loadSmallImage(){
     // create loader instance
     // assign load complete listener
     // load imgArray[counter]
function loadComplete(e:Event) {
     // process the loaded image in a new pane
     // increment counter
     // if counter is < imgArray.length -> loadSmallImage();

Index an array of images only the last image shows

Hi everyone,
I try to index an array of images and all but the last element give me the error: "not an image."
Here is a picture of the vi. The first for loop loads the images and stores them in an auto indexed tunnel. Every diagnostic I ran on this loop showed everything is fine. The second for loop should display the sequence of image stored in the auto indexed tunnel, but it does not. Instead I have the error message that elements 0 to n-1 are not images, and only the last image is displayed.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help.
and the vi:

Speed of what? The second loop can't run until the first loop is done, and all the operations are linear. I'm guessing you're referring to the perceived speed of displaying the images one after the other so you don't have to wait for the next image to be read which is why you pre-load all the images. Otherwise, the overall speed should be the same whether you use one loop or two. Actually, to be technically accurate, the two loop version will likely be a little slower overall since LabVIEW has to allocate more memory to store all the images, while in the one loop version it is only ever dealing with one image. If the images are large then you might actually run into a memory issue with the two-loop version (arrays need contiguous memory). Just something to keep in mind and to be careful about.

Last image in flash gallery does not always load

Several times I have had the last image in a flash web gallery not appear. Today, image #41 is seen in the filmstrip, the gallery indicates I should see #41 of 41 images, but that image does not appear in the thumbnail strip to the left and the large image is still #40. I tried switching out the last file, but that doesn't make a difference. I have built much larger galleries with the same default flash template and had everything work. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
Thanks,

I had the same thing happen to me. Image #25/25 refused to load. Once I added another image for a total of 26 all images loaded.
Weird.

Y there is no option in iPad mini to directly go down or at last image by jus tapping at right corner, same option is available with iPhone , I hv 7000 images in album, it gets difficult again n again to scroll down 7000 images n come at end

Applying keywords to multiple images

How do I do this? I can toggle primary only with the keyboard 's', menu or button, but the keywords still only get applied to the primary image, not the selected images.
Any ideas?

BUGS: stop at last image and scrollable frames

Hey,
I think I've identified two bugs in the latest release:
1) MSO slideshows that have Autoplay checked, don't respect the "Stop at last image" option, and return to the first stage regardless. This behavior only occures some of the times, and I am not certain what makes it happen. I think it may only happen with slideshows in which are configured to be exported in vector format.
2) Scrollable boxes that are configured to be vertically scrollable only, are also horizontally scrollable, if the content of the scrollable box exeeds the horizontal limits of the scrollable frame.
Did anyone else expirience these bugs? Any workarounds or fixes?
Thanks

Doesn’t anyone bother to read?
I’m sorry, but It’s getting quite frustrating answering the same question over and over.
We now have about 15 threads on the same subject.
If you had read back just a few posts you’d know there’s a bug causing this.

Placing an image, remembering the last image import position

Sometimes i can have a folder with 200 images in it, i have to place these images into my picture boxes within my indesign doc one by one.
Each time i go to place the next image, the pop "place" window defaults to the top of the list. ;(
So what im asking, is there a script out there or a fuction which will allow the pop up "place" window to remeber the last image i imported or placed??
This will save me having to scroll down to find my last image placed each time. this will save me loads of time on massive cataloge jobs i work on - it's really tetitious finding the last position every time.
Just something ive been wondering for a while now.
Any help would be great
Ricky

Why not select all the images you need at one time? ID allows you to select multiple images, then drop them from the loaded cursor one by one. If the next one in the cursor prview is not the one you want, press an an arrow key to cycle through. Press esc to remove an image from the cursor.

Batch changes don't function. Apt 3.2. From simple commands like "rotate clockwise" to "lift and stamp" the command only affects to the last image in the group selected. Similar problems? Solutions?

Glad it helped. Everyone has been bitten by this at one time or another. Fortunately you only get bit once
Well if you haven't already read it two or three times the User manual is really very good. Apple really did a nice job with it. The on-line version is nice because it is searchable.
After that the Apple Pro Training Series book Aperture 3 is very useful. Its basically split into three parts. The library, adjustments and sharing. In addition if you get all the way through it you can take the Certification test and become, well certified.
Rwboyer who posts here on and off has a good site and a couple of ebooks that I found useful.
good luck
