Beginner at photoshop: how to fade one edge on photo into a solid graphic bar

I am creating a banner with a photo on the left and I want the edge of the photo to extend to the left and fade from photo to solid graphic bar. I will then be writing text in the color bar for the banner. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks!

Make sure your picture is in a layer above the background color. With your picture layer selected (as you can see by the blue highlight in the layers panel), click the mask button (bottom red circle). Then, with the mask selected (see the black stroke around it's icon in the top red circle; it is selected by default), use the gradient tool to paint the mask white to black. White reveals, black conceals. If you need to edit the picture layer, you can click the layer icon (just to the left of the mask icon in the top red circle). If you click the chain icon connecting mask and layer, you can scale/move them independently. Click back where the chain was to re-link them.

How to add one or two photos without synchronise my 8240 photos on my ipad2

How to add one or two photos without synchronize my 8240 photos on my ipad2 or iPhon4 ?
Thank you

Just add the photos to the folders/location that you last synced and sync them - as only the contents of the last photo sync remains on the iPad, you have to (re-)sync all the photos that you want on the iPad. In theory only the new photos will need processing by the sync process, so it shouldn't take a long time to sync (it hasn't for me when I've added a few to my 1500 photos in the past anyway). Not including photos in a sync is how you remove them from the iPad.
Your alternative is to email them to yourself and then save them from the email, but they will only go into the Saved Photos/Camera Roll album - come iOS 5 in the Autumn you should then be able to move photos between albums.

How to copy one column BLOB value into another column of another database.

How to copy one column BLOB value into another column of another database.
BLOB value contains word document.
I thought of copy the BLOB value into a text file and then update the new column value by the same text in textfile. Will this work?
Is there any other better way to do this?

You're welcome
BLOB fields contains binary data. I don't think you can do this
Also if I view the BLOB as text. Can I copy it and insert into the new database.
I think your options are as I said. Datapump or CTAS
Best Regards

How do you drop a still photo into a video?

how do you drop a still photo into a video -- while continuing the audio track unchanded?

by popular demand, Kelli Applies Lip Liner to Audrey's Lips has been completely re-mastered. (ok, it was just one person who asked, but she's a very intelligent and articulate observer of such matters. she noted that the clip suggests "interesting possibilities", but that men probably would be unaware of that. i explained that "men are pretty simple, so we don't see too many moves ahead." she laughed.)
i believe that in an earlier post i indicated that in the re-mastered version i would delete the in-camera audio and dub in the audio from the Zoom H4n audio recorder. this i did.
(syncing the video and audio continues to be a nightmare, though ).
besides signifcantly improving the sound quality, using a separately recorded audio source allowed me to drop (2) still photos into the video track, and still preserve the continuity of the recorded conversation.
dropping in the stills the correct way (unlike in the first re-mastered video) was easier than i thought it would be. it's just a matter of dragging the Premiere Elements 7's red vertical timeline-cursor to the point on the timeline where you want the insert to begin, and then dragging and dropping the still photo alongside the red cursor. the amount of time the still will appear can be shortened or lengthened by dragging with the mouse -- the same way any other file can be extended or contracted.
the video coming out from the still was now running behind the soundtrack. but, the timeline shows the exact duration of the still, so the video coming out was shortened with the mouse by that same duration, and then the audio and video were back in sync.
to add the "sound effect" of the camera's shutter clicking (actually its mirror slapping) before each still appears, i found a point on the audio recording that had the click of my camera actually taking a still, and that had only a little audio from the models underneath it. removing all the audio before and after the sound of the camera click was, again, just a matter of finding the start/stop points i wanted, moving the timeline's red cursor to those points, and using the mouse to drag the ends of the audio file alongside the cursor.
because i wanted the sound of the camera click to merge with the converation anyway, i just put the audio file of the click on its own audio track (which allowed me to separately control its volume).
however, when i tried to copy and paste the audio file of the camera click to the beginning of the second still photo, i was not able to copy and paste by the normal method of using the mouse to right-click-file/left-click-"copy"/left-click-"paste". eventually, i tried doing so by clicking on "edit" on the menu bar at the upper left and then clicking on "copy" and "paste", and there was no problem. (go figure.)
as with the other re-mastered video, i brightened, increased contrast, made the hue a bit warmer, and added a little sharpening. (this has to be done individually for each separate video file that makes up the whole piece -- at least that's what i did.)
interestingly, the audio level can be tweaked directly on the timeline by using the mouse to drag up or down a horizontal yellow line running the length of the audio file.
i again rendered in Adobe Flash Video (.flv). (annoyingly, in XP at least, there's a default download destination that has to be reset everytime you want to save in a different location). from a drop-down menu i selected "NTSC Flash Video 700k" (just in case) and left the file name as "Untitled" (since no matter what i change it to, it saves as "untitled.flv", so i have to rename it anyway once it's saved).
i went into "Advanced..." and, to preserve the dimensions and the HD, i unchecked "Resize Video", chose "Same as source" for the frame rate, and checked 2 "Encoding Passes" (just in case).
for some reason, everytime i click the "save" button, it asks what i want to call these settings. if i use the name i used for the same settings on the previous go-round, it says that that name is already used and (impliedly) can't be used again. so, i add the new date, and yet another name for the same settings gets added to the drop-down menu (odd).
once the compressed .flv file was saved, it was an easy upload to youtube.
btw, it seems that the Elements 7's Audio Mix defaults to 0 dB, OR whatever the setting was in the prior saved version, unless i use the mouse to continuously "ride the slider pot". that's ok for a 48-second video, but does anyone know of a way the dB can be set so that it just sits there, instead of moving back to where it previously was

How do I merge new imported photos into an existing event?

How do I merge new imported photos into an existing event while using the latest version of iPhoto?

You can merge two Events simply by dragging one to the other.
You can move photos between Events by drag and drop or by first flagging them, then switching to Events View and selecting the target Event and going Events Menu -> Add Flagged Photos to selected Event.

How to make one edge of a photo transparent

Hi,
I am doing a website and want to make one edge of a photo transparent to the background - such as http://www.aimeemann.com/
Does anyone know how I would do this?
Thanks much!
Nic

Double click the layer icon in the layers panel. Then hit the create mask button at the bottom of the panel (lower red circle). Then with the layer mask selected (upper red circle, notice the black outline shwoing you are working the mask, not the layer), use the gradient tool to make a gradient as shown in the icon preview. Then save for web as PNG24.

How to add one edge in same page two times?

Please help me for this i want to add same edge two time in page, one edge while onload and another also should load but it will show in popup. thanks in advance.

Hi Kobe,
Thanks for listening me.
I agree 11g have some issues unlike 10g. I've tried the same by creating a measure rcount(1) and name it as Page in RPD. I just pulled column Page in pivot table section 'Pivot Table Prompts' it is working but this may not answer your requirements.
I would suggest to use the column in Prompt and go by between operator to allow user to select the rows between.
In the report make Page as prompted.
If you are okay with this can look forward to tweak it further, like values in the prompt multiple of 5 or 10s some thing like that.
let me know updates on the same.

How to connect one edge to multiple origin in Flash Media Server

Is there a way to do this?
One edge to connect to two or more origin.

Ohh.. I was talking about the "explicit" configuration, where your NetConnection URL can tell which origin to connect. You just need to configure your server as edge, thats it..
However, "implicit" way too should be possible. But I am not sure..
Read more about configuring edge server at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_AdminGuide/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119f2 925d1a-7ffd.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119f2926bcf-7fff

How to fade part of a photo?

I've imported a photo of a striped shirt into PSE 6. I want to put some text on top of the shirt. Unfortunately, the stripes on the shirt make it difficult to read the text.
So I though if faded the stripes a little--where the text will be--that will fix this problem.
So I need to know how to fade just that one section of the photo where the text will be. I don't want to fade it entirely--just enough so that the text is readable. That is, I want the stripes to still be somewhat visible. How much I fade them will be up to me.
Thanks for your help!
Jim

Here I added the text. Then on the Background layer selected an area around the text using the Rectangular Marquee, feathered the selection a few pixels to soften the edges, and applied a Levels adjustment layer to lighten it. Note that you can use a plain Levels adjustment (Ctrl-L) rather than a Levels adjustment layer; the adjustment layer is "non-destructive" so that you preserve the original picture.

How do I include 'Edge Web Fonts' into Edge Animate?

How do I include 'Edge Web Fonts' (not Google Web Fonts) into Edge Animate?

Have you tried to use google fonts? I have used them and they work for me.
When you add your font for example:
Copy paste:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Finger+Paint' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
and then for font family.
'Finger Paint', cursive;
then select addfont on the addfont screen

How do I import a single photo into my iPhone?

I have just got my first iPhone and i can't find how to import one photo to the phone

What I do is this: on my computer I create a folder with a name like "for iPhone"', and copy or drag any photos that I want on the phone into that folder. So you could do it with just one photo. Then when I go to sync photos when the phone is connected, when on the "sync photos" tab of iTunes, I browse for that folder tick to sync just that selected folder.
I hope you can follow. It's quite easy when you know how!
