Applying a border to a cropped image??? Help.

How do i apply a border to an image that's been cropped? It seems that everything I try will add the border to the original edges of the image, and then the border gets cropped out along with the edges of the video when I start cropping.

Yes

Yes, although since you are cropping an image you could copy the clip you've cropped, then Control Click the matte clip, select Paste Attributes, and check the Crop box. This will size your matte to the exact crop of your clip. Then load the clip into the viewer and since it's a crop you can slightly modify the crop or you can simply move the matte clip a little down and to the right or left or whatever your taste desires. Now you have your clip and a border.
If I wanted to have the image move or re-size, I would have to then apply the changes to the border seperately as well? Or would I nest them into 1 clip then apply size changes?
At this point Nesting them would be faster.

Putting a border on a cropped image/video in FCE 3.5

Hello folks, my first post so be gentle.
Can anyone tell me how I can put a border on a cropped image or video clip in FCE 3.5?
At the mo if I want a border on a PIP I need to scale it down then make the border thicker, it meens the area that I want to see in detail (the PIP) is smaller than it is in the main window.
So cropping is the obvious solution but when I do the border gets cropped out too.
I could do it with miltiple layers but it seems a messy workaround.
Cheers

Please excuse me for horning in. Andy's instructions specify this plugin is for Final Cut Pro. Do you know if it is also good for Final Cut Express?

Applying smart filter to a cropped image

In my case, I have a smart layer and the smart filters on it.
I cropped the smart layer without deleting cropped pixels and now I want to apply a little bit vignette and a border with one of the smart filters.
But, the smart filter is applied to all the pixels in the image, not to the cropped ones.
I'm duplicating the smart layer and rasterizing it and applying the filter on this second rasterized layer, but there is no way, the filter is always applied to the uncropped image.
Is there a way to apply a smart filter only to the cropped pixels of an image?

No basic border filter on cropped shots?

I'm making a movie basically on V1 and V2. V1 is standard material from my own camera. V2 is imported from a 16:9 source. All shots on v2 are scaled to 80% (so V1 is partly visible) and cropped (all 4 sides), as to get rid of the black beams on top and on the bottom. Now i want to apply a basic border filter to the tracks on V2, to detach the material from the underlying tracks, but fce (2.03) refuses to accept the filter. Other filters are accepted without any problem. I presume that the problem is caused by the cropping procedure. If it's not possible to apply a border filter to cropped material, is there a way to do it in a different way?
imacG5m20, 1.7 g Mac OS X (10.4.2) fce 2.0.3, canon 330i, panasonic lumix fz30

Thanks for your help. I tried, but did not succeed in getting the precise image i'm looking for, and apart from that it would take a lot of time to do this as the V1 track is divided in more than 50 short shots. Anyway i now understand why i could not apply the border. What i need is a way to really cut the shots, as you can do in Photoshop (select your part of the picture and cut it out). This apparently cannot be done in FCE. I tried to do it in imovie, but no way. I have only little experience with QTpro, but as far as i can see, there is no possibility to really cut out part of the video, to get rid of the 16:9 black beams on top and on the bottom. May be some other application?

Border on Cropped Image

I have a cropped image moving across the screen over a background. I know that I can add a drop shadow but can I add a color edge and how?

This will do what you want. Notice the border option.

URGENT HELP plz! crop image

I have an image
when loaded into my program, i have the getScaledInstance to about half of the size
and then i want to crop on that scaled image icon, how can i do that?
i tried the crop image filter, but it always need to getImage().getSource() which require the cooridnates of the original image (non scaled one)
i do not have the cooridnate of the original image, i just have the scaled image coordinate part for cropping. How can i crop?

Hey, here's some code:
          URL url = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("some_image.jpg");
          Image rawImage = ImageIO.read(url);
          Image bufferedImage = new BufferedImage(X, X, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
          // Perform your scaling here.
          bufferedImage.getGraphics().drawImage(rawImage, 0, 0, X, X, X);
          MediaTracker tracker = new MediaTracker(this);
          tracker.addImage(bufferedImage, 1);
          tracker.waitForID(1);
          Image cropImage = bufferedImage.getSubimage(X, X, X, X);Is this anymore useful to you?
Warm regards.

Cropping Images with Opacity Masks | Learn Illustrator CS6 | Adobe TV

In this video you will learn a versatile method for cropping images in Adobe Illustrator CS6 and CS5. Using opacity masks allows you to retain the area of the image you cropped out, modify the clipping path later, and use complex blending modes, transparencies, and knockout groups.
http://adobe.ly/V8tTZD

Firstly great tutorial.
Anyway I initially started a thread in the forums which lead me here regarding the use of opacity masks, I'm having real problems finding a solution to my specific problem.
I've got 2 issues I'm trying to solve, the first is how do I show just a portion an object above another even though it sits in a layer behind.
The second is I have an object with a linear gradient applied and I want to add yet another gradient just to a certain part of that object in order to make it fade out in a certain way.
I've spent hours pouring through the help topics but nothing seems to fit my exact problem, sorry for asking questions here but I'm really stumped and I think an opacity mask would do the trick, I'm just not sure how to execute it.
Thanks heaps.

Why does my cropped image disappear?

After importing a jpeg file into my pages document, I have tried repeatedly to crop ("mask") the unwanted portions of the image. When I am finished applying the mask, I have double-clicked on the image--exactly as the "help" page instructs--and the image completely disappears, leaving only the masked portion. I have tried double-clicking on the image, on the mask, on an area outside of the image and mask, and on the "edit" symbol below the mask. Every time the image disappears. What am I doing wrong?

If you have masked it:
Menu > Format > Mask with Shape > Choose
don't you expect that the masked area is all that you will see when you are finished?
There are several selections in the masking:
1. The mask (Shape) itself, clicking on the mask handles you can size it
2. The image which may or may not extend outside the mask. Clicking outside the mask, you get a grabber hand and can drag the image around inside the mask or resize it from the images handles
3. The cropped image dragging on the corners or sides resizes the mask & the contents
Clicking away from the image, sets the last edit.
Possibly the image is very large and you are only seeing a tiny portion of it, say a corner.
Have you clicked on the little and big icons in the Edit bar to rescale it as necessary?

Cropping images and resizing

I'm trying to take several images, find the largest one and then make sure all the rest are that size and centered in that image with a transparent border/background around them for any space left.
For example:
I have 3 100x100px images and the 4th is 150x120px. I want the first 3 to be the same size as number 4 but not be enlarged, just centered in an image that is the same size as the 4th.
I have hundreds of images to do this to so one at a time isn't a great option, is there a way to make an action to do this? I've had no luck.
So far I've tried using scripts to merge the files as layers into one document, crop the image way bigger than any image will be then trim to hit the border of the largest image. That works fine...but then how can I save those layers back out as their respective png files again?
I'm on CS5 btw.
Thanks.

To start with depending on your image file mix there may be a basic problem. If there is a mixture of Landscape and portrait images none of the images you have may not have a width and height that is largest of all the images.
Photoshop ships with a script you can use that will help you do what you want though. If you open Photoshop and use menu File>Scripts>Load Files into Stack... you can point its dialog to a folder that has your image collection. This script will load all images in that folder into a single document that will have a canvas size that is as wide as the image with the largest width and as high as the images with the largest height. None of the layers may be that size and the layers contents may not be centered within this canvas size. However that can easly be done.
The top layer I beleive will be the current target after Load Files into stack runs. Hold down the shift ken and mous click on the bottom layer in the layers palette. All layers should now be targeted.
Then do a select all
then menu Layers>align layers to selection>Vertical Center
then menu Layers>align layers to selection>Horizontal Center
All layers will now be centered within the documents canvas size. That would be easy to do in an action. Now you would need to create a new document with a transparent background the current canvas size for each layer and mover a layer centered into it and delete the bottom layer and save a image file in a format that supports transparency.
Once you have your image stack in the proper canvas sized document centered or not you should be able to create an script to create your output files.

How can I print with black border around edge of image?

I'd like to add a black border around the edge of certain images I'm printing. I know it's fairly trivial in Lightroom, but I can't see where this option is in Aperture. Is this lacking in Aperture, or am I just missing it? Many thanks.
PS -- I'm aware there are some plug-ins that claim to do this, so if Aperture can't do this, please feel free to chime in with comments on the best plug-in for this task.

Thanks, Rich. That's a good plug-in, and does cover what I need (with lots of other features, too). The problem, though, is it requires an export of the image, which I then have to either print from another application, or reimport to Aperture to print. I was hoping to find something that will either just apply the border to the print job, or that would serve as more of an Edit With . . . type of plug-in than an Export plug-in, so I can keep everything in one place. Thanks again.

How to apply lens correction profile to multiple images at once?

I have a quick newbie question and I couldn't find an answer in a brief search that I did. Is it possible to apply lens correction profile automatically to multiple images at once? For my RAW images, LR automatically detects the lens and applies the correction profile for an image if I manually click on "Enable lens correction" option under Develop module (in the right pane where adjustments are made). However, I would like to do this to multiple images all at once.
Thanks,
Osho

Be careful using develop setting synchronization for lens profile across mutiple images! This allows applying an incorrect profile (i.e. Canon 17-40mm profile with synchronization to images shot with multiple lenses) First use the 'filter' tool to make sure you select images shot with only one (1) lens type. Then follow one of the procedures here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/WS0E6E6886-E223-4050-B6E0-A97B5B62EF7D.htm l
You can also change the "default" develop settings with 'Lens Profile' option checked and then save as the "new default" setting. LR will then "automatically" apply lens profile correction on import of new images.

How do I re-scale cropped images in Fianal Cut Express 4?

How do I re-scale cropped images to the correct aspect ratio in the sequence? I am in Final Cut Express 4. The manual says: 'Modify>Scale to sequence' but I do not see this command in the Modify drop-down menu. Does anyone know where this is located or how to to re-scale? Many thanks for any help.

I'm not quite sure exactly what the problem is and I am no expert.
However, if the photos are too small you can simply enlarge them to fit the frame.
To do this, select the clip in the timeline and open the Motion tab in the Viewer.
Drag the Scale slider along until the photo enlarges the correct amount. (If the picture does not enlarge, double click the clip)
If you have lots of photos which need exactly the same enlargement you can copy (Cmd C) the treated picture and then select all the others.
Go up to the Edit menu and select "Paste Attributes".
A window will open. Tick the "Basic Motion" box and all the selected pictures will be enlarged.
They will then need rendering.

How to apply a gradiant to a photoshop image?

How do I apply a gradiant to a photoshop image?
I have tried looking at a number of online blogs and instructions but they were the wrong version -- or they assumed too much knowledge that I did not have and thus stepped over some steps.
I am using Photoshop version CS6

Here's a visual illustration of Charles' technique to help you along:
a.) Set the foreground color to white.
b.) Go to Layer > New > Layer
Select the gradient tool.
Select the white transparent gradient in the drop down gradient menu.
Now draw your gradient. You can select different gradient patterns by clicking the buttons next to the drop down gradient menu.

Photoshop and cropping. Help!

Hello,
I have a problem with cropping images. I have about 2,000 photos that I cropped to the size of 80x60, 100x80, etc. Unfortunately, my actions do not help because some of the pictures are larger and some smaller. Some images are not properly trimmed or cut off. I would like to X-axis and Y framing the left side of that is the point 0 there is a beginning and it was matched to the height of the image then the right side of the picture would be cropped.
Does anyone know how to do? You need to write a script or some special action?

If you have the original un-cropped images you can design a process to do whatever. If not what has been cropped off is gone.
