Basic noobie problem with image dimensions

Hi folks.
I'm trying to walk myself through a Layer Masking exercise, but I've run into a 'glitch' involving some very basic Photoshop CS3 sizing elements, and I'm durned if I can see what's going wrong.
I've print screened the last stage of my PSD and uploaded it to Alkaspace, here:
http://www.alkaspace.com/free/view_image/a0a4b2304/gearshake.JPG
The screen you see is made up (on an XPP SP3 laptop) of three basic components;
1) 'masking2.psd'is the file I created as background. It's 200mm x 200mm x 72 pixels\inch, RGB, 8 bits and white. But I'm not sure that this file has anything to do with my question. Rather, I think it's to do with one or the other of the two jpgs I downloaded from a tutorial site for the purposes of this exercise. These files are: (not the original names which I think were 'example1 and 2)
2) handshake.jpg 7k
3) gearwheel.jpg 25k
Here's my headscratcher:
Both of these files are 72pi and the same width, 8.82cm. (their heights are different, as you can see)
Both were set at (if it matters) 100% size.
So why is handshake front) markedly different in width from gearwheel (rear), when they're both 8.82 cm wide? Why don't the sides of the handshake image line up exactly with the sides gearwheel?
It's driving me bats. Help would be greatly appreciated :-)

>There doesn't seem to be a choice in the Layer's right-click menu to turn off the "mask facility" without also removing the results of the masking process.
you can right click the mask itself in the layers palette to get a popup menu that lets you "apply" it. that kinda merges it into the rest of the layer.
>And if the Layer Mask is still activated on a layer, how does one then use the paint brush normally on the layer?
in the layers palette, on the masked layer, you can click on either the icon for the image data, or the icon for the mask data. try it. see how whichever one you click on gets a little border around it? that tells you which one will get attention when you paint on the layer in the main image.

Problem with Image file

Hi,
Iam facing with one problem.I have one swing interface through which I can upload files(back end servlet programme).Now I can upload all types of file but problem with image file it uploading perfectly that means size of the uploaded file is ok but its format damaged.It can not be open.My backend servlet programme is ok coz i tested it with html form it is working perfectly.Problem with swing interface.Plz guide me where I done a mistake.Below r my codes:-
ImageIcon Upload=new ImageIcon("images/Upload.gif");
     Button=new JButton(Upload);
     Button.setToolTipText("Upload");
Button.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
          int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(ActionDemo4.this);
          if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
          File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
String aa=file.getAbsolutePath();
          textArea3.append(aa);
               textArea2.append("Local URL:");
long l=file.length();
          try
          byte buff[]=new byte[(int)file.length()];
          InputStream fileIn=new FileInputStream(aa);

The errors are here:
          byte buff[]=new byte[(int)file.length()];
          InputStream fileIn=new FileInputStream(aa);
          int i=fileIn.read(buff);
          String conffile=new String(buff); (conffile is a String object containing the image)
and here:
String content ="-----------------------------7d11e410e500f2\r\n"+"Con
ent-Disposition: form-data;"+"name=\"upload\";
filename=\""+aa+"\"\r\n"+"Content-Type:
application/octet-strem\r\n\r\n\r\n"+conffile+"--------
--------------------7d11e410e500f2--\r\n";
printout.writeBytes(content);conffie is sent to the server but
it's non possible to treat binary data as String!
Image files must be sent as byte[] NOT as String ......

Problem with images opened in Photoshop CS 5

Hi, I have a problem with images that I open in Photoshop CS 5. F. ex. I opened
the following image:
The image appears with a purple color in Photoshop. If I hover over the image
with a tool like lasso, it temporarily regains it´s original color. The image mode is RGB Color, 8 Bits/Channel.
I resetted the start settings of Photoshop with the CTRL-Shift-Alt-combination, which had no effect.

The confusion arises from the imprecise error message in the Preferences > Performance dialog box, to wit:
OK, that seems to be open to misunderstanding indeed.
The video card: Citrix Systems Inc. Display Driver.
Could not find a list for CS6 specifically, but the card may fall short.
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/tested-video-cards-photoshop-cs5.html
If I invoke View > Proof Colors, the only thing that changes is that the text in the brackets
Also if you set View > Proof Setup to something different?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Problem with image url

Hello,

onMouseDragged: function(event: MouseEvent){
maxIco.image = Image{
url: "{__DIR__}ikony/max2.png"
}

This is working for me:

        url: "{__DIR__}icon/image1.bmp"
    onMouseDragged: function (e: MouseEvent): Void {
        if (not changed) {
            imgView.image = Image {
                url: "{__DIR__}icon/image2.bmp"
            changed = true;
            println(imgView.image.url);
    onMouseReleased: function (e: MouseEvent): Void {
        imgView.image = Image {
            url: "{__DIR__}icon/image1.bmp"
        changed = false;

}I've changed few things to switch image only one time on mouseDragged event.
It print the image URL.

Problem with Image.createImage()

Hi all!
I'm writing a simple midlet just to display an image on the screen and I'm having some problems with Image.createImage()
Here is my code
Image bg_img;
ImageItem imageItem1;
imageItem1 = new ImageItem("", null,ImageItem.LAYOUT_DEFAULT, "");
try{
bg_img = Image.createImage("/image.png");
imageItem1.setImage(bg_img);
catch(java.io.IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
I'm getting an exception on bg_img = Image.createImage("/image.png");
I can't understand what is it...:(
I know for sure that the problem is not "file not found"
Any one can help me???

If you are catching IOException, then u may have problem with ur image path. "image not found on the specified path." if ur image is not in the current directiry then put it into current directory. otherwise, If u are using resouce folder and it is already included into the resouce path, then put ur image in that folder..try this..
Still not get, then please give some detail about ur development toolkit. and ur apllication packaging scheem. are you using ANT?

Problems with image scaling

I'm facing a real problem with image scaling
I've used several algorithms but it all has defects but the most common thing is the out of memory error after several enlargments...
does any one know a solution...
note:
I've used several packages to do so,but I'm looking for a solution from the jdk itself
JAlexscorpio

Did you take into account that the getScaledInstance() -method creates a completly new Image?
So if you use it like in
ImageIcon icon1=new ImageIcon("Blah.gif");
ImageIcon icon2=new ImageIcon(icon1.getImage().getScaledInstance(400,400,SCALE_FAST);
you will end up with 2 different Images which have their own data and memory requirements.
even if you use something like
ImageIcon icon1=new ImageIcon("Blah.gif");
Image i=icon1.getImage();
icon1.setImage(i.getScaledInstance(200,200,SCALE_FAST));
You will need enough memory to store the data for the original image, as well as the data for the scaled
version of the image, at least for the time that it take the JRE to create the scaled version. You never know when the garbage collector kicks in to delete you old data so it could be that this takes some time and until
that moment your memory is not available. If your now doing several of the scaling operations, and there is no chance for the garbage collector to do its work, you will run out of memory.
I hope that might help, if not feel free to post again

Copy and Paste Problems with Images

I'm having the strangest problems with images. I copy an image off of the web for one of my art history classes and I go to paste into another program but, whether it's Keynote, Powerpoint, Photoshop, or Graphic Converter, something always goes wrong: the images definitely lose some of their quality, become brighter in appearance, and get jagged on the edges. This is starting to drive me nuts, especially since it never happened in 10.4 on my iBook G4. Any suggestions?

Make it an 8-bit file (Image menu > mode).

Experiencing problem with image display in LR5

I have an intermittent problem with images displaying and exporting in LR. It just began a couple of months ago and is totally random - will do it with RAW (CR2) or JPG. It displays this way in all modules - Library, Develop, Slideshow....The image displays fine in a non-Adobe image viewer (Faststone or Windows Viewer). I've reloaded LR5 and PSCC and is still persists. I know the image file is fine. It also has begun effecting older images that were showing up just fine a while ago. I just loaded about 200 images and maybe 3 or so have this viewing problem in LR & PS. Has anyone else experienced it and have a suggested fix? My graphics card has the latest drivers and shows no problems with other applications. Here is the same image - one a jpg export from Lighroom, the other a save as jpg from Faststone. HELP!

This is almost always a hardware problem, causing corruption of the file. The difference you see between Lightroom and other software is that Lightroom is accessing the full RAW image, while the other software is trying to read the embedded JPG preview.
To figure out exactly what hardware is the problem, you need to try different transmission paths and hardware ... different camera cards, different card readers or USB cables/USB ports, different hard disks, etc. Eventually you should be able to isolate the problem.

My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

I think that may be a consequence of the email provider she is using. Some services (AOL is one example) inspect and modify email attachments, particularly photos, resulting in reduced resolution compared to the email that was sent.
The iPod does not do this. The resolution of the picture in the email she receives will be identical to what is imported.

Sudden problems with image behaviors, javascript on Yahoo servers

I have been posting my website with Yahoo Small Business for 10 years and have never had a server-side issue (to my knowledge). Until now.
It should first be pointed out that all my sites are basic HTML, constructed using Dreamweaver 8 on an old Sawtooth PowerMac that runs OS X.3.8. I am behind the times and know it.
I have a 2011 iMAC, but can't afford to upgrade my imaging software. If adobe cared anything about aspiring designers, they would come down to earth with the pricing (why should current students, educators and private business be given such a massive advantage in pricing?). Sorry, I'm just being truthful. I do not use style sheets (though it would be helpful to learn since the web is run by them now).
Recently, I completely redesigned my personal website. When I tested it on my old mac, everything functioned as desired. When tested on my new mac, everything functioned as desired. When viewed online after uploading to the server, the page appears to load in full, but none of the image behaviors work. Correction, the "mailto:" link works, but it was assigned in the property inspector rather than the behaviors inspector. So I have no rollovers and no operative links beyond email.
I sent the site files to a friend so he could check the site. He posted it to the server he uses and all the functions on the page work correctly. This is where I came to suspect that the problem is with the Yahoo servers and not my coding.
Here is the link to the page that does not work correctly:
http://www.boughnermultimedia.com
Here is the link to the page that does work correctly:

In Safari, I checked the error console and the following message appears for all java script behaviors:
ReferenceError: Can't find variable:
If someone here could check my source code and let me know where Yahoo is having problems with my code, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Your code is corrupted. If you view source in browser, you'll see your code is compressed into one long line. This will surely cause JavaScripts to fail.
Your friend's version works because the code is not compressed.

Problems with "Image adjustments" in print menu

I am having roblems with "Image adjustments" in the Aperture print menu. When I try to use Brightness, Contrast or Saturation in the Image Ajustment section of the Print menu I get a white screen where my photo to print had been. When I uncheck the Image Ajustments block my photo returns.
Has anyone else had this problem, and/or can anyone suggest a fix? Thanks in advance

Not seeing that here. 10.9.2 and 3.5.1
Does it happen with all images? If so create a new library import an image into it and see if the problem still happens.
If it happens with a new library try a doing it as a different user. Either use the Guest account or make a new user, make a nee library, import an image and try it.
If it happens with just the one library try a library repair. If it happens with multiple libraries but just in the one user account try moving the Aperture preference file out.
If it happens with he new user also try reinstalling Aperture.
See Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics for direction on doing a repair or moving the preference file.
post back if you still have the problem

URGENT: Heap space problems with image resizing

I'm creating a Swing program, with an InternalFrame-type interface. One of the frames contains a .gif file background and then primitive G2D objects are drawn on top of it.
The background image loads and displays fine at its original size, but I've added code for when the window resizes, and resizing the image causes the VM to give me an OutOfMemory exception.

I tried this without any problem (with a gif of 137 kb):
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ImageFrame extends JFrame {
    public ImageFrame() {
        initComponents();
        Toolkit T=this.getToolkit();
        im0=T.getImage("C:\\sophie.gif");
        MediaTracker mediaTracker = new MediaTracker(this);
        mediaTracker.addImage(im0, 1);
        try {
            mediaTracker.waitForID(1);
        } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
            System.err.println(ie);
        jInternalFrame1.add(new MyPanel());
    private void initComponents() {
        jDesktopPane1 = new JDesktopPane();
        jInternalFrame1 = new JInternalFrame();
        setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        jInternalFrame1.setResizable(true);
        jInternalFrame1.setVisible(true);
        jInternalFrame1.addComponentListener(new ComponentAdapter() {
            public void componentResized(ComponentEvent evt) {
                jInternalFrame1ComponentResized(evt);
        jInternalFrame1.setBounds(0, 0, width, height);
        jDesktopPane1.add(jInternalFrame1, JLayeredPane.DEFAULT_LAYER);
        getContentPane().add(jDesktopPane1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
        setBounds((screenSize.width-800)/2, (screenSize.height-500)/2, 800, 500);
    private void jInternalFrame1ComponentResized(ComponentEvent evt) {
        width=jInternalFrame1.getWidth();
        height=jInternalFrame1.getHeight();
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        new ImageFrame().setVisible(true);
    private int width=500,height=300;
    private Image im0;
    private JDesktopPane jDesktopPane1;
    private JInternalFrame jInternalFrame1;
    class MyPanel extends JPanel {
        public void paint(Graphics g1) {
            g1.drawImage(im0,0,0,width,height,this);
            g1.dispose();
}
