Blurring a portion of an image

Does anyone know how to blur a portion of an image in gradient-like fashion to give the impression of an unfocussed lens? Can you do it with a transparent layer mask?

IMO, it's better to apply a Depth of Field mask on the Lens blur itself rather than on a layer that's already been lens blurred.
With this Depth Map (in the lens blur dialog) the magnitude of the lens bokeh gradually changes, while with a layer mask gradient it simply gets fainter.
Create a new channel, make the gradient mask on that, and call it up from the Depth Map in the lens blur interface.

With PPT 2007 when I print my PPT file to Notes view why does the slide portion become an image

I am trying to print a ppt file using PowerPoint 2007 notes view to PDF with Distiller and create a full text searchable PDF.
Everytime I do, the slide portion becomes an image. The only textual portion of the PDF are the page numbers and the actual notes.
This was not the case with Office 2003. The slide portion was full text searchable. Does anyone know why this is.

Irma,
Show the file in Finder with the pps or ppt extension, you want Powerpoint to open.
Get info on the file, using command-I, and change the application to open all documents like this to Powerpoint.

In putting together a book I can move photos onto a page and enlarge the picture but is there a way to reduce the picture size? some cases I want a smaller picture and if I change the size of the picture box I only get a portion of the image. I wnt to red

picture size...in putting together a book I can move photos onto a page and enlarge the picture but is there a way to reduce the picture size? some cases I want a smaller picture and if I change the size of the picture box I only get a portion of the image. I want to reduce the image to fit the size of the box.

If you right click on the image on the page in the context menu select photo box alignment and then select one of scale to fit {centered, Left-aligned, Right-aligned}
That should do what you are loking for.

Acrobat 9 Standard - Selecting a portion of an image

I have opened a pdf file and I am trying to select a portion of an image for copying it into a Word file. I have clicked on the Select Tool, but, when I move the Select Tool on the image, it never changes to a cross and I cannot select the portion in which I am interested. Could somebody help?

Thanks for your reply.
The problem actually is that the file is protected.

I have an image that I removed from its back ground and I would like to scale the bottom portion of the image because its to wide but not have that effect the top portion of the image which is the correct width. but also keep the aspect ratio correct, keep it looking as natural as possible (its a piece of jewlery) ? how can I begin to do this.

The area circled in red is to wide (the width) the necklace's width is as wide as the models entire chest. And also the length of the necklace it's to long it should come down to the clevage area on the model/woman.

Render a portion of an image

So I have this image of a weather map on my site. It is
updated by a service every 5 minutes. I want to render it out in a
small box and only show a portion of it. This will be clickable to
take people to see the full size of the image. I can obviously do
this by just squishing the image and telling DW to show it at a
certain size, but is it possible to tell DW to show only a portion
of the image file? I can not get the service to supply me with two
images and I can not see to find any way to render just a portion
of the image.
All help is appreciated.

You can make it the background of a <div> just as
easily. However, if
you want to make it clickable you'll have problems with that
because
you cannot interact with a background image. You might try
something
like this:
<style type="text/css">
#mapholder {
position: relative;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
float:left;
overflow:hidden;
border:1px solid #000;
#weathermap {
position:absolute;
top:-100px;
left:-100px;
</style>
Then, to display the partial map:
<div id="mapholder">
<a href="/images/aircraft/66-16830.jpg"><img
src="your/img.jpg" alt=""
width="400" height="311" id="weathermap" /></a>
</div>

Viewing a portion of an image, scrollable

Hey,
I want to write a small application that can take an image and display a small portion of that image but allow 2 dimensional scrolling so that the entire image can be viewed.
What I really want to be able to do is view a large image on my phone screen, using the up, down, left and right buttons for navigation.
Would I be right in looking at the TiledImage class in JAI?
Has anyone got any examples?
Thanks

You can use Tiles usign JAI. But the source image must have Tile information(eg. Tiffs).
Another way is using ImageIO package like this.
Use the following to iteratively read the required rectangle of the image.
//reader is the legal reader of the Image.
ImageReadParam readParam = reader.getDefaultReadParam();
// x is X offset, y is Y offset
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(x,y,width,height);
readParam.setSourceRegion(rect);
BufferedImage img = reader.read(0,readParam);Now for scrolling, use addAdjustmentListner method for JScrollPane like below.
viewerScroll is JScrollPane.
AdjustmentListener listener = new MyAdjustmentListener();
viewerScroll.getVerticalScrollBar().addAdjustmentListener(listener);Sample MyAdjustmentListener is,
class MyAdjustmentListener implements AdjustmentListener {
   public void adjustmentValueChanged(AdjustmentEvent evt) {
      Adjustable source = evt.getAdjustable();
      if(evt.getValueIsAdjusting())
     return;
      int orient = source.getOrientation();
      if(orient == Adjustable.VERTICAL){
       Point p = viewerScroll.getViewport().getViewPosition();
       Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(p.x,p.y,width,height);
       //Use this rectangle again to get the BufferedImage using the first code.
}varma

Selecting a portion of an image

Hello
I am having an image displayed in the front panel. Now i want to select a portion of the image such that when i select that particular portion in the front panel , the result is displayed. Is this possible?
AT present what i have done is, i take a subset from the image 2D array. But here i always have to enter the index and length by trial and error to locate the exact position. Is there a possibility to automatically detect the index and length when i select that portion in the original image???
Thankyou

Making a portion of an image bigger???

how do i make a portion of an image bigger like eg.(a 3letters iamge logo "XYZ" and i want to make y&z bigger).Is the a tool which forms a marquee on the image so i can pull along and make it bigger???

Hi Chain,
If the letters are in a text layer of their own, you can simply hit the Text Tool, highlight the letters and then increase the font size in the tool bar.
However the letters are embedded into the image then you are going to have to select them with one of the selection tools. The marquee could be a good starting point, simple drag a rectangle around them - but this will also capture anything that is in the background too. If it is important NOT to change the background and only change the letters, then you are going to have to trace around the edges with another selection tool, maybe the polygonal one would be good here?
Either way, once you have made your selection, click on the Move Tool (M on your keyboard). You will see a bounding box with handles at the corners. You can now drag one of the handles to increase or decrease the contents within the bounding box. Hold down the Shift Key whilst you do this and you will also retain the proportions.
When you hare happy, click on the tick box in the tool bar or hit enter. Press Ctrl+D to de-select the part of the image you have changed and you're all done.
Hope this helps.

Blur a portion of a picture

Is it possible to blur a portion of a picture through Aperature? Thanks for your help! dwatt

no ... aperture is not a pixel editor ... for that you need an application that is specifically designed to manipulate photos on a pixel by pixel basis ...

How can I get QT Pro 7 to blur a portion of my video

Trying to make a video of a rack install on a Jeep. I need to blur the license plate. I tried adding text but it seems to be anchored to the top left of the screen. How can I move the text where I want?
--- or ---
How can I blur out the license plate?
--- OR ---
How can I just add a subtitle to the video near the middle bottom of the video so it obscured the plate?
Whew~!

After you've added the new track (text or image) you can adjust its dimensions and "offset".
Default offset value is 0,0 (upper left corner). You can change these values in the Movie Properties window.
Open the file and then open the Movie properties window. Single click on the video track and you'll notice the tabs in the lower half of the window will change names. Click the "Visual Settings" tab and enter new values for the dimensions (if needed) and the offset to position the new track where you want it.

Acrobat 9 - How to highlight portions of an image?

As my screen name suggests, I am not well versed in Acrobat 9. I am attempting to highlight areas of an application that we send out to our students. Apparantly the portion of the application in the PDF that I am attempting to highlight is part of an image and not text. Other text portions of the PDF can be highlighted with the highlighting tool, just not the image. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!

You can try one of the tools, like Rectangle Tool, Polygon Tool.

Parsing a file name and printing a portion to an image

Ive got a script writen for me that reads the file name of the image, creates a new layer , prints it ti the bottom of the image. I was wondering if anyone knew if there is a way to parse only a portion of the file name out and print that to the screen. Below is the relevant part f the code (I think) that selects the text to be printed on the new layer
var myLayerRef = docRef.artLayers.add();
        myLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
        myLayerRef.name = "Filename";
        var myTextRef = myLayerRef.textItem;
if the file name of the image is ; 30090416 0056 , I want to use only the 0056 portion, as the code is written above the whole file name save the extension is written to the image.
Thoughts?????

That didnt seem to work, the same full filename (minus the extension) still prints. Here is more of the script. I tried to attach the whole thing but it wouldnt upload.
var originalRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits;
preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PERCENT;
try
var docRef = activeDocument;
// Create a text layer at the front
var myLayerRef = docRef.artLayers.add();
myLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
myLayerRef.name = "Filename";
var myTextRef = myLayerRef.textItem;
//Set your parameters below this line
//If you wish to show the file extension, change the n to y in the line below, if not use n.
var ShowExtension = "n";
// Insert any text to appear before the filename, such as your name and copyright info between the quotes.
//If you do not want extra text, delete between the quotes (but leave the quotes in).
var TextBefore = "";
// Insert any text to appear after the filename between the quotes.
//If you do not want extra text, delete between the quotes (but leave the quotes in).
var TextAfter = "";
// Set font size in Points
myTextRef.size = 24;
//Set font - use GetFontName.js to get exact name
//myTextRef.font = "TimesNewRomanPSMT";
myTextRef.font = "Arial";
//Set text colour in RGB values
var newColor = new SolidColor();
newColor.rgb.red = 255;
newColor.rgb.green = 255;
newColor.rgb.blue = 255;
myTextRef.color = newColor;
// Set the position of the text - percentages from left first, then from top.
myTextRef.position = new Array( 2 , 99);
// Set the Blend Mode of the Text Layer. The name must be in CAPITALS - ie change NORMAL to DIFFERENCE.
myLayerRef.blendMode = BlendMode.NORMAL;
// select opacity in percentage
myLayerRef.opacity = 100;
// The following code strips the extension and writes tha text layer. fname = file name only
di=(docRef.name).indexOf(".");
fname = (docRef.name).substr(0, di);
//use extension if set
if ( ShowExtension == "y" )
I really appreciate the help.

Why is smart blur available only on some images?

I'm running actions that are made by others and I noticed that on some of my images smart blur is not available? I have imported from lightroom as camera raw and exported from lightroom as jpeg. and get similar results.

What version of photoshop are you using?
How big is the image in terms of pixel dimensions?
(Image>Image Size)
Could you post a screenshot of the layers panel of one of the 8 bits/channel images that smart blur doesn't work on?
