Applying graphics effects on image

I'm trying to figure out how to modify the appearance of an otherwise static image to make it seem like it is responding to a touch. Kind of like Koi Pond, where you touch the screen and the image gets modified.
I've looked at the normal animations, but they just seem to work between two different images or views.

One way is to create an "overlay" view - a UIView with the same frame as the image (so it basically sits on top on the image). Probably it starts off with a clear background color, and then as it responds to touch events you can do you own drawing/effects on that overlay view.

How to apply animated effects to image sequences?

I've heard many times that, if a certain effect isn't available in After Effects, "it's no problem", it can be added later in Photoshop.
I understand that an image sequence can be created, imported in PS, the effect applied to all files then exported.
What I don't get is how can someone animate such PS-based effects. Let's say I want the value of a certain parameter of that effect to follow a sine Bezier curve.
How do I do that in PS?
Thanks.

Well... Seems to me you could do at least SOME automation with scripting. You could conceivably write a script that would drive whatever feature or plug-in you want to control across multiple images and feed slightly different parameters to it each time. You'd have to get into the nuts & bolts a bit... There's a scripting forum where they might be able to give you some additional ideas...

Cannot color image after applying "Graphic Pen" effect.

I open a .dng file which was in greyscale. Then converted it to RGB. Applied the effect Graphic Pen. Added a new layer, fill it with red, changed mode to Overylay, and when I tried merging down, or saving as a jpeg, it converts the image right back to B&W. I even tried changing my brush to red and Overlay mode, it just won't let me color the image at all. I've tried hue/saturation, and when I try to save the adjustment, it converts right back to B&W. Any help? Here are some screen shots.
This is after merging down.

Hue/saturation has the same problem as overlay, but you can colorize the image checking colorize and by moving the saturation and lightness sliders to the right.
Did you try the different blending modes with a color fill layer?
It really depends on the effect you want.
For example you could set the foreground color in the toolbox to Red and the background color to White.
Then when you use the graphic pen filter the black pixels will be red and the white pixels white.
The colors for the sketch filters in the filter gallery are dependent on the colors you have set in the toolbox.
If you planning on using the image for the web, you could reduce the pixel dimensions of the image (Image>Image Size)
and then the overlay mode would work for colorizing the image if that's the effect you like.
The reason that works is that resizing introduces a little bit of blurring (for lack of a better word) around the edges.

How come I need to render EVERY TIME I apply an effect in Premiere Pro CC?

I am using Premiere Pro CC version 7.2.2 (33) on a 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5 iMac with 24GB of memory and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 512 MB graphics card. The footage I am importing is ProRes 422 1920x1080 square pixel 24 frames progressive footage.
When I place clips onto the timeline, they play without any issue. In fact, they play beautifully! However, whenever I apply an effect, the clips needs to be rendered. Here's the biggest problem though, every effect needs to be rendered and I don't even need to change the settings of the effect. Just placing the effect on the clip causes a red line to appear above my clip.
Help!?

Kevin,
They do play back. They don't become labored or jerky until I begin taxing the GPU with stacked or complex effects. John T Smith was right on about the hardware deficiency and your insight into my FCP past and red render lines completed the answer for me.
It looks like I'm now in the market for a hardware upgrade.
Thank you, both.

Live Effects on images that crossover gutter.

I have a 156 page job with facing pages that was created in Indd CS4. It has many instances where images are placed which crossover the gutter. The images have some transparency effects applied. Basic Feather and/or Inner Glow, so the outside perimeter of the image fades to paper. When we print or export pdfs as single pages it breaks the image at the gutter and then applies the effects to both the left and right hand halves of the image adjacent to the gutter so when impose for print there is a white feathered area running vertically through the gutter.
The solution is NOT to print in spreads. If this was a simpler job I could do that. This is a fairly complicated imposition and the pages are in 32 separate files. Anyone know a setting to keep the live effects from applying to the center of the image when single pages are created?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Oh I got around it easily enough. Just cropped it down in Acrobat.
But still... See images below. Exported with bleed & without bleed.
Though today, found a solution! Simple enough - just fill those image boxes white (& extend the boxes further out so no shadow in the bleed).
Wtf? Even with images bleeding off, the shadow snaps to the trim box when exporting a PDF with no bleed!? And all it takes is a fill of white instead a fill of none....

I have the Photoshop Elements 11 and when I use the stamp effect the image becomes totally black. It used to have my line drawing in white, now, just a black image. I need the stamp effect. also, most other effects simply crash the program.

Which operating system are you using?
Some filters like Filter>Sketch>Stamp need to have two different colors for the Foreground and Background set in the toolbox.
Press the D key to set the default toolbox color swatches to Black and White and then try the Stamp filter.
If your using mac os x 10.9 or 10.10, then some of the filters under Filter>Sketch will crash pse 11
They are Filter>Sketch>Comic, Graphic Novel and Pen and Ink
Otherwise resetting the pse11 editor preferences might resolve the crashing.
Go to Photoshop Elements Editor(Edit)>General, click on Reset Preferences on Next Launch and then restart the pse 11 editor

Why does my text disappear when I apply an effect to it?

Recently, whenever I try applying an effect to my text layer(s), the text completely disappears from the layer and therefore is not showing up when I preview my composition. How do I stop this? I'm using CS5.5 if that helps.

Just the text in my text layer is what's disappearing. I import my image file, drag it onto the board and then click to add a text layer. I type out my text and then go into the effects & presets, select Animation Presets --> Text --> Animate In -->,Straight In MultiLine, drag the effect into the text layer and then my text disappears, as shown in the second image below ...This just recently started happening to me and I don't know how to get it back. I'm using After Effects CS5.5. I'm very new at this programs so I apologize for not being able to provide a ton of info...

Applying Style Effects with vba script

Hello,
I've been doing a lot of scripting with VBA to create data driven graphics with good results so far.
Now I want to try and fancy things up a bit. For example I'm trying to add an Effect to an object.
As example, I create a simple filled rectangle with the following:
Set objRectangle = docRef.PathItems.Rectangle(x, y, w, h)
objRectangle.FillColor = rgbColorRef
objRectangle.Stroked = False
objRectangle.Filled = True
After I want to apply an effect equivalent to selecting Effect > Stylize > Scribble... from the menus in Illustrator.
I found PathItem.ApplyEffect (LiveEffectXML As String) but not sure this is correct approach. Can't find any documentation or examples on this or reference for the LiveEffectXML string.
Sure would appreciate some help if anyone has done this.
Thanks

PS I'm using CS6

Thank you Kasyan, but it doesn't work as I expected it to. The InDesign style are somtimes overridden, sometimes not. It seems to have something to do with wether the Word-style is based on another Word-style or not. In addition I have my InDesign styles grouped, and when InDesign upon placing a text doesn't find the style on the top level, it imports the Word-style.
My solution:
Change Word-styles so they are not based upon another style
Running the VBA-code in Word
Placing the text using "Use InDesign style definition" for paragraph and character styles conflicts.
Editing the imported InDesign styles so that they are based upon and equals the original InDesign style in the respective group

When i apply slow effect to a clip the visual disappears

when i apply the slow motion effect the image disappears, it is just a black clip. it will preview appropriately, but will not play back as a slowed down clip

Hi ayven:
Welcome to discussions!
Are you using an external drive?
Is it's format Mac OS Extended? To find that out, connect the external drive and then launch Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities). You'll see your external drive in Disk Utility's side bar.
Select it and then click the Erase tab at the top. From the Volume Format menu select Mac OS Extended-Journaled and then click the oval Erase button at the lower right.
That's about it, except you should make a backup copy of your files because this will erase the drive!

Effect on image

how can i make the effect on http://olcay.com.tr/ for a image?

The effect looks to be a combination of a "vignette" effect, that is to say, the darkening of the borders of the image in order to highlight the central focus. The extremely easy way to achieve this effect is by making an eliptical selection that is centered on your subject (in this case the woman). Next, invert your selection and then apply feathering to the selection (variable depending on your image size) and then fill the selection with your background color.
The (slightly) more complex method involves creating a mask of your eliptical selection so that you can apply the effect variably without destroying the original background layer.
There also seems to be a "glow" effect around the woman, but that could be an illusion based on contract from the vignette effect. If it is a glow, it's a matter of masking of the woman (or other subject) and creating a layer mask and applying a layer-effect outside glow to the layermask with a Lighten layer mode (which will render the mask invisible, yet apply the glow to the layer below).
Good luck! Also google the terms "photoshop vignette effect" and also layer masks and layer effect glow.

Error: This page has graphics other than images or text on it

I recently upgraded to Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, and I am experiencing a problem
with OCR text recognition.
If I use "Create PDF from Scanner" or "Create PDF from file" (using a
monochrome TIFF image) to create a PDF, I can then perform OCR on the PDF
file in Acrobat.
But if I open a monochrome TIFF image in some other program (Irfanview) and
print that to the Adobe PDF printer, then open that PDF in Acrobat and try
to perform OCR on it, I get the following message:
"Acrobat could not perform recognition (OCR) on this page because: This page
has graphics other than images or text on it. It cannot be captured."
If I select the scanned image in the PDF file using the TouchUp Object tool,
and then cut it to the clipboard, I am then able to then select a second
blank object on the page, that has the same dimensions as the scan (it is
full page size). If I delete that object, then paste the first one back in
(the scanned image), then OCR will work. So what is this additional object
that is preventing OCR? I did not have this issue with versions 4-8 of
Acrobat.
Also, this problem appears to only pertain to 1-bit monochrome images. I
scanned the same page to 8-bit grayscale, then printed that to Adobe PDF
from Irfanview, and that PDF file allows OCR to be performed. Does anyone
else have a problem using OCR when the PDF was created by printing a
monochrome raster image to PDF?

Not sure this will work for indesign, but for any other searches about the OCR problem with "This page has graphics other than images or text on it", I used this workaround for a huge scanned text that Acrobat 9 Pro wouldn't OCR:
1. Save As.... > TIFF image
This saved each page as a tiff, so if your file is big, you might want to create a special folder for it. (I had 1100 pages!)
2. Open the folder with the TIFF images.
3. Select all files.
4. Right-click > Open with.... > Choose.... > Other.... > Acrobat
5. Popup will ask if you want to open all files in a single document. Obviously a good choice for 1100 pages.
6. After the new PDF generates, save it.
7. Document > OCR --- should work now.
8. If it does, don't forget to delete the folders with the TIFFs.
Hope that helps someone.

How do I select a photo from the timeline to apply an effect.

I am tryiing to select an individual photo on the timeline to apply an effect like a zoom or pan.

I suspect your answer is for you to right click the video (your slideshow in video .psess format) now on the Premiere Elements 11 Expert workspace Timeline and then select and click on "Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow" command. The command will achieve that and you should be able to move forward with your editing plans.
The above applies if these are the details of your workflow which I believe to be the case....
1. In the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor you put together some photos and used the Slide Show Editor's Cross Dissolve transition in the Slideshow Editor slideshow.
2. You outputted the slideshow from the Elements Organizer 11 Slide Show Editor using the Output option of Edit with Premiere Elements Editor.
3. When you do that you will find in Project Assets, a folder with the projects assets as well as one copy of the slideshow as a video in .psess format. There will also be a copy of the .psess video on the Timeline.
4. When you use that route, the Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow command is available to you in order for you to make additional significant edits to the slideshow before a burn to.
If you use any of the Slide Show Editor options to create the wmv version of the slideshow (Burn to Disc or Save As A File Movie wmv), the file on the Timeline will be a whole video in wmv format. That cannot be broken apart with the Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow command.
Please review my assumptions and speculations and let us know if the answer that I provided was appropriate under the circumstances.
If not, lots more details please.
Thanks.

Leopard graphics & effects.

hello.
i am a newbie, just purchased today the 24 inch model of imac with 2.4 Ghz and 256 MB Ati.
i busted my head trying to find a way to activate/enable those cool graphics effects that leopard has but no succes, i dont know where to navigate and what to do. i browsed a lot system preferences and i could not find anything to help me set those great effects. i searched also google but nothing. what am i missing here ? i would really apreciate some help thanks.

Well, flipping the screen as a cube only occurs if you have multiple user accounts and turn on Fast User Switching (Accounts preferences.) Menu effects are usually under application control rather than user control. Most user controllable items are controlled in System Preferences (discussed in your OS X manual.)
Many other visual effects are under programmer control not user control.

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.

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?
