Blur/obscure characters or logo in an image

What are some methods to obscure something in a .jpg? For instance a logo on a shirt, or similar.. Would like it to be obvious the item is blurred, doen't need to be removed entirely..
Maybe PS is better? Trying to minimize moving the file back and forth between programs so if it can be accomplished in ILL. then all the better.
Thx

Actually this is one of those times when doing this in Photoshop does not make all that much sense since you have to go back and forth from Illustrator and risk having placement problems in Illustrator.
here is what you do
1 place the image file does not matter what format the original is
2 then copy the image and paste in from ( command C, command F (Mac) Control C control F (PC))
3 then draw a shape over the area that you want to obscure
4 then select the shape and the copied instance of the image and make a clipping mask, ( command 7 (Mac) control 7 (PC))
5 then while it is still selected apply a gausian blur effect or if you wish create a mosaic from the Object menu. When creating a mosaic from an image with a clipping mask applied remember to consider the whole dimension of the original image when selecting the number of mosaics.
You can now easily turn the visibility of this area on or off.
You can also flatten the transparency making it a smaller object, it will have a small white area around the which you can recreate a clipping mask for to keep the fie size down.
You can also use different effects like Crystallization, etc. same as you can in Photoshop.
Here are screenshots
You can also give the clipped area a feather effect

Album keeps saving images from emails, such as corporate logos and empty images

For some odd reason my Sony Xperia Z2 adds images to my Album which I have not taken nor asked to save myself. These include images attached to emails - typcially corporate logos, but also seems to add blank images (which show as a logo of what looks like a mountain image used on cameras to show "landscape"). I therefore regularly have to go in and delete all these extra images which load up quite quickly....somewhat annoying.
Is there a setting I have missed somewhere?

I am facing same issue in my Xperia Z . All my fb stickers and walkman album art just shows up after somedays.. and then i have to individualy delete around 700-800 photos creates too much trouble.
Did clearing cache helped?
What to do about it?

In Pages for iPad, I couldn't wrap text(Chinese characters) around the image

Hi, a question about Pages for iPad. I wrote some words with Chinese characters and then inserted a image from the Camera Roll. The problem is that I couldn't wrap words around the photo. I tried again wrote some words in English and it's ok for wrapping. Why did this happen?

From the help section in the Pages app ....
Anchor or free an object to or from its surrounding text:
Select the object, tap in the toolbar, and then tap Arrange.
In the Arrange window, tap Wrap.
To make an object move with the flow of text, slide “Move with Text” to ON.To make an object remain stationary, unaffected by changes in the surrounding text flow, slide “Move with Text” to OFF.
Drag the Extra Space slider to indicate how much space you want to leave between the object and the surrounding text.
Wrap text around an object:
Select the object and tap in the toolbar, and then tap Arrange.
In the Arrange window, tap Wrap.
Tap a wrap option to select it.Automatic optimizes text wrap for you, depending on the size and position of the object, and the width of the text column. Text wraps around an object, unless there’s very little space around the sides, in which case the text flows only above and below the object. Around lets you customize the text wrap around the sides, without automatic optimization. Above and Below allows text lines only above and below the object.
Drag the Extra Space slider to indicate how much space you want to leave between the object and the surrounding text.
This works for me. Restart your iPad if this does not work for you.

Blurred S-RAW images in Aperture 3.3.2

Beginner here so please have patience if I'm doing something stupidly wrong :
I downloaded some holiday photos from my new EOS7D into Aperture 3.3.2 (latest update) running on OSX10.8, the images are canon S-RAW format which I believe is supported by this version of aperture. The images imported fine but when I view them in viewer they are very blurry. So much so that I thought the camera or lens were at fault or that I was viewing a low resolution version of the photo. All the photo's exhibit the same problem but some are more obvious than others.
To check my equipment I imported the same photos direct from the camera into Canon's own Digital Photo Professional. The images are pin sharp.
Any suggestions to what I could be doing wrong :
1. I don't think I'm importing low res images from the camera into Aperture, the aperture image info says the images are RAW (but not S-RAW), and 13MB in size which seems to be correct for S-RAW.
2. Could my version of Aperture be set to view low res or JPG versions of the S-RAW images, if so how do I change it.
3. Are there any known issues with S-RAW (CR2) files and aperture ?
I believe this is a new problem, I looked back at some S-RAW images from my old 40D (same L series 16-35mm lens) viewed in aperture and they look fine
Any help most welcome.
Mike B.

Kirby,
Plenty of testing but even more confusion I'm afraid :
1. updated OSX to the latest version 10.8.1, no change to the blurred effect.
2. updated the 7D firmware to latest version 2.0, no change to the blurred effect.
took some new photos in various formats and imported using the new updated versions :
3. new photo's in RAW, blurred effect dissapeared. Images from DPP viewed at 100% were identical when compared to Aperture at 100%
4. new photos in M-RAW, blurred effect was present quite noticeable when images were compared at 100% size.
5. photo's in S-RAW, blurred effect was very obvious at all zoom levels especially 100%
6. imported the same photo's into iphoto 9.3, iphoto mimicked Aperture ie :
RAW photos were identical in iphoto and DPP, but M-RAW and S-RAW both viewed blurred in iphoto compared to Canon DPP. This one threw me, I had expected iphoto to view correctly in all instances.
If iphoto hadn't given me the same problem I was going to attempt to re-install Aperture (not quite sure how), but if both iphoto and aperture give the same results, I suspect something more fundamental is going wrong.
Mike B.
I tried getting a screen grab for you, I'm not sure if it will work, image on the left is DPP at 100%, image on the right is AP3 at 100%, I cannot get the image on the right to look any better than this in AP3.

LOGO image not appearing in infoview

Hi,
I am using web inteligence for my BO report creation.
I have saved my logo in the image folder (C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12\Images). I have used the logo in my WEBI report by using BOIMG:// and it is appearing correctly.
But when I exported the WEBI report to CMC and tried running the report using infoview the logo is not appearing. Only a blank cell appears.
If it is required to save the image on the server then please let me know the exact path for saving the image on the server.
Please let me know the correction required.
Thanks,
Sunil.

Hi,
the path for image logo is .....\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewApp\res\schema.blue\
put the image file there and format should be *.gif.
after that go to CMC->manage->authentication->Infoview
open infoview properties then click display custom logo URL radio button and insert gif file that you put on path folder above.
hope it help
Thanx

Blurred image with HD webcam - despite good intern...

I have a Logitech HD Pro webcam C920, but the image is blurred at the reciever.
My own image I can see on my computer is fine, and the contact's image is ok, but the reciever tells me, that the image is blurred - meaning not sharp.
The reciever is a professional and have really high tech equipment, so the problem is not there.
My internet speed is 21 mbps download and 2,1 upload. When I call one of my own computers to check the quality it looks fine, but the reciever in Denmark (I'm calling from US) tells me the image is blurred.
I've installed the latest driver. I have professional lighting. The processor and RAM at my computer is more than required by the Logitech requirements. I use high-speed USB port.
The camera is on auto-fokus.
So I'm beginning to get frustrated. Is there a setting I'm missing?
Thanks.

Have you tried to make a video call to another contact?
2 mbps upload speed is not much for HD quality with Logitech c920 webcam. My own experience with this webcam is that you need at least 5 mbps upload speed. With 2 mbps you can not expect better resolution than 640x360.
Next time you are on a call, open the Call menu and select Call Technical Info. Watch the actual download/upload speed and your video resolution. Be aware that bandwidth speed in Call Technical Info is in kB/s (kiloBytes per second), so you need to multiply it by 8 in order to compare with your Internet connection speed (1 kiloByte= 8 kilobits)

Image motion blur effect

Hi,
Anyone know how to acheive these motion blur effects,
like in this site. When you

the images behind the sketch book.
Thanks....

Before flash 8 we would use two images, blur and regular.
Blur can be very low quality so it's small in KBs and you
can't
see the quality while tweening. Tho in that particular site
you can actually see how low quality it is as the tween
happens
too slow. So, we would place blur image made in photoshop for
zoom
animation, and jump to frame with clean sharp one once the
tween
is done.
Flash has has BLUR filter. You can convert your image into
movie clip
and apply the filter to it.

Adding logo or image to email signature

I have added my logo (a jpeg image) to my email signature. When I send an email to someone else who is using an Apple mail program it opens up fine. However, when I send an email to someone who is using, for example, a yahoo mail account, the logo does not show up on the actual email, it shows as an attachment that must be clicked on to open.
Does anyone know how to embed an actual logo/image onto an email signature so that it will be seen in an email regardless of what type of email program they are using without having to click on it? thanks

Jessie,
I would love to help you (and anyone else in your situation), but it seems I can't duplicate your problem. I read your post before going to work this morning, and I sent myself an email (from Mail at home to Lotus Notes at work) with a signature containing a JPEG. Notes, arguable the worst email client out there, showed the JPEG in-line.
I don't have Outlook or Outlook Express, so I cannot test those, but I'd be happy to receive an email from you so I can see what comes across. You need to send it to my work email because that's the only place I have an email client other than Mail running. The address is dkiechle followed by an @-sign followed by amadeus.com.
We can do the opposite as well: I can try to send a test email to one of the addresses that you used to see if my signature shows up with the graphics element in-line. Would be pretty instructive, I think. I can do this if you provide an address; however, I can only do it in a few hours from home as I don't have Mail here at the office.
One interesting thing to check: in Mail, there's an option to "Always send Windows-friendly attachments". Can you check if it is enabled or disabled in your configuration of Mail?

Applying blur to a region of a image

Hi,
how do I apply a blur effect to a region of a image/bitmap.
Lets say I have one big image 1024x768 and i want to apply a blur effect to a region of x100 y100 width100 height100.
Any hint please
Marc

Hi,
You can always take a snapshot of the area behind your thingy and apply it as the thingy's blurred background(this also can work with dragging the thingy around).
David.
ps: I assume thingy is the technical term for 'object placed above area requiring an effect' .
