Can aperture 3 convert a gray scale photo into a line drawing?

can aperture 3 convert a gray scale photo into a line drawing?

I have a B.F.A. degree in painting which educated me in the "history of art" with appreciation of the old masters. I agree with your statement that, "anyone mistaking photos converted to "line drawings, watercolors,or paintings" is simply ignorant" and that, "line art is to drawing what clip art is to painting."
I appreciate your passion and love for keeping "visual creativity" true to its inherant nature. Expressing your views however, in regard to my question in this thread, is irrelevant to the question asked. I am not ignorant. My question has nothing to do with the philosophy of art. You have no idea what project I have in mind for asking my original question. I suggest that perhaps you have chosen the wrong forum to express your views. Sticking to the question asked, as the other participants have, has been most helpful to me and I appreciate their response.
Thanks for your attention.

How can i convert a jpeg into a line drawing/sketch?

Hey just wondering what is the best tool and is Illustrator the best program - to convert a standard JPEG image into a line drawing?
Someone please help! Thank you

Try VectorMagic (Google will find it for you). You can use it for free a few times on the web, or you can buy a license. You can control the level of detail and the number of colours to use, and it will write an AI file.
(I have no affiliation, I just think it works well).

Convert to Gray scale issue in spot color file

Hi,
I am having some problem in Acrobat X Pro on Convert to Gray Scale Preflight Fixup, but the same PDF file is working good in Acrobat 9.0 Pro for the same process.
Even I tried with the error report, but there was no error details in that report.
Please help me out to find the reason for that problem. The PDF file is having a spot color.
Please find the RGB and converted Gray image
Thanks in advance,

You can upload you file using any public/private FTP and then can embedd the link here.
Or when you click on Edit (in your message division), you get a browse option in the bottom left cornet. That allows upto 8.9MB. The way i attached!!!

Converting a photo to a line drawing.

Can iPhoto 6 convert a photo to a line drawing? If not can anyone suggest an inexpensive application that will do it? Thanks.

In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

How to capture the gray scale photo

Hi. I followed this (
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh202982(v=vs.105).aspx ) example to capture photos and also in gray scale but the sample doesn't capture the gray image, it only pumps the gray pixels to the Image control. How can I freeze these
pixels in the Image control or capture it as a jpg? Thank you in advance.

I should have been more clear. Forgive me. I followed that example and added all the functionality as in the example like the focus(auto and tap), the flash light ect and it works but when it comes to the grayscale: the example only streams the converted
pixels to the image control. It does not "capture" the image. Somehow I have to stop pumping the grayscaled pixels to the Image control and then I want to save-send the "gray" image. What's the easiest way to do that? This is what I have
so far:
MyClient.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri("http://www.iclips.co.za/sign_in.php?username=Clint William Theron&password=k"));
However, the username and password is empty on the server side. How do I add paramters and download the server's response? Thanks in advance
I basically want to turn this:
var values = new List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("username", un),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("password", pw),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("friends", friends),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("density", "high"),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("platform", "Windows Phone"),
var task = DoPost_Sign_In_To_Server("http://www.iclips.co.za/sign_in.php", values);
async Task DoPost_Sign_In_To_Server(string url, IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, string>> values)
try
var httpClient = new HttpClient(new HttpClientHandler());
HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.PostAsync(url, new FormUrlEncodedContent(values));
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
var responseString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(delegate()
if (responseString.Trim().StartsWith("Welcome to iClips. You need to delete"))
MessageBox.Show(responseString);
return;
if (responseString.Trim().StartsWith("Welcome to iClips"))
//this means sign up was succesfull
//so now we signed in
txtDebug.Text = "Sign In Successfull :-)";
vibrator.Start(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
else
MessageBox.Show("Network Error: \n" + responseString);
signForm.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
signForm_Shadow.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
catch (Exception ex)
MessageBox.Show("Network Error: \n" + ex.Message.ToString());
signForm.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
signForm_Shadow.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
txtDebug.Text = "Try to Sign In >> again.";
in to WebClient, because of the progress bar that can be bind to WebClient.

How to Convert FLIR Gray Scale Image to a Temperature Map in NI VBAI

I have been working with a FLIR A315 Infra-Red camera and NI's VBAI software. I need to determine the presence and continuity of a hot mastic foam that has been injected into the hollow bulb of a rubber weatherstrip seal in 4 adjacent locations that flow together inside the weatherstrip bulb to form a continuous foamed mastic plug.
So far, I have been able to trigger image acquistions in VBAI from a FLIR IR camera by monitoring an Allen-Bradley PLC's status bit. The communication with the FLIR A315 camera is via the IMAQdx GigE driver. However, I haven't figured out how to detemine the temperatures from the gray scale images I receive from the FLIR camera. I wonder if someone could give me some pointers on how to do this.
I have attached some images below to illustrate what I am working with and how far I've gotten.
iPhone_Photo.jpg - shows a photograph of the weatherstrip section that the FLIR IR camera is "looking" at.
FLIR_IR_Monitor.jpg - a screen capture of a FLIR IR monitor utility that shows temperatures measured at a number of points and areas (showing it can be done)
NI_VBAI.jpg - part of my VBAI 2010 project which shows the image I've acquired from the FLIR A315 IR Camera
So, I am part of the way there, but so far have not found a way to map the gray scale image that VBAI is acquiring from the FLIR IR camera into a heat map from which I can determine temperatures - and would appreciate some help on how to do this.
Kind regards,
Nick

Hello,
Image provided by FLIR camera are unsigned 16bit.
Depending on the FLIR temperature scale you selected (10mK or 100mK), you will have to divide by a 10 or 100 factor to get K values. Don't select radiometric output.
So if your object is cold, the population of the histogram of your image will be on the left part of it and if the object is hot, the population of the histogram will be on the right part.
If you want your temperature values in Celcius, just add 273,15 to the Kelvin Value.
Then you can add a color palette in VBAI (FLIR iron is available)
Hope this helps

Gray scale photo printing

I have an HP photosmart premier c310a printer and have good results with color photo prints, but I can't seem to get the printer to print my grey scale photos in pure grey scale. They have a color cast to them that ranges from near sepia to slightly purple.
Is there a way to correct this and get clean true grey scale prints. I have tried all the usual stuff like cleaning the printheads, using fresh ink cartridges etc.
I am using Adobe Elements 9 with windows 7 home premium and the printer is setup both wirelessly and with a USB connection. The results are the same regardless of which version of the printer I use.

Thanks for the reply. I checked for proper cartridge venting as you suggested and all were OK.
Since I originally posted this problem, I have tried various thing to see if I could "trick" the printer and force it to print in true grey-scale. The best results I got was to tell the printer that it was printing on plain paper and force grascal printing. I got a reult that was close. Actually using plain paper got me even closer, but close is not good enough. I had an HP printer before the one I have now which gave me beautiful Grey-scale prints and I assumed that this later generation printer would do even better. Guess I should have stuck with the older one.

Gray scale photos images are different but should be the same; help?

I send a gray scale image from Lightroom (Edit with ...) and it opened CS4 photoshop.
I made a blank document , 11x14".
I used Windows/arrange/ tile to view the blank and the gray scale image. I tired various methods of bringing the gray scale image to the blank one (move tool, select all and move, copy and paste). Each time, I did this within seconds of each other (I made no changes to fill, opacity, and I used Normal). I brought the image in twice so I could print out the SAME image twice on the larger 11x14 at Sams club in order to use the Epson 7800 printer and not the old wet process on the Fugi machine. One image is darker(lighter) than the other every time. I even tried another image and I got two different exposures.
I wonder if it it only happens with the grayscale images? Perhaps it is a problem coming from Lightroom 2.5?
I did a three image 16x20 and I didn't notice the difference - partly because they were three differenct images in color. I will try two color images from the same file tomorrow.
Any thoughts? I haven't found a possible setting problem that would have been applied between the operations.

Paulo,
Thanks. I was ready to believe the monitor idea but I still have some reservations.
I don't doubt what you said about the pixels (sounds correct to me).
Why?
I tried another monitor and the images I attached also look like the top one is darker (vertically).
Also, the same is true if I scrolled the images. It seems to me that I should see a difference as I slowly scroll the image vertically. I didn't see a difference.
Read on please.
At any rate (I long for a CRT - my 21" crapped out last year), I am using two SAMSUNG screens, the
one attached to the main computer is the Syncmaster T220 - a well rated
monitor; as far as I knew , read and had friends who recommended them.
The other I just tried is attached to the second computer a couple of feet away. It is the syncMaster T240HD.
So, if it is an LCD monitor problem, it is with both and the same
company. I would think I would have read some bad reports about these
LCDs?
Also, wouldn't the color images also be different when presented the same way? (they aren't).
However, I went back to the original T220 LCD display and moved an image in to a blank one as before, then did the control J to copy the layer, and the images we different again. But, I zoomed in more than usual and scrolled the images and they were lighter at the bottom of the screen and darker at the top of the screen!!!!!!
That is good news and bad news! $$$$$$
If it is the monitor problem, then both images should print as the same.????
Secondly, the display (LCD) attached to the machine at Sams showed the same difference between the two images. AND, I recall that the display is also a Samsung (I will check that tomorrow).
What a bunch of coincidences! I guess I have to search the web for some Samsung answers? and contact the company?
I want to explore as much on my end as possible.
Hunt and another suggested the Control-J to avoid the problem by copying the layer. That didn't work either.
I suppose I could tweak one of the images after bringing them in but I don't know how (I clicked the layer and I wasn't able to do anything - like lighten that image).
Again, thanks for the help. I think the question maybe answered.
I will send the screen capture shortly.

How can i link a text to a photo into a slideshow?

hello, need some help please! i want to link a text to a specified photo into a slideshow, another word to another photo and so on...I've tried any slideshow, and composition with anchor points and it doesn't work. How can i realize that please?

There's no support within Muse to cause click on a word within a flow of text to result in a slideshow turning to a specific image.
A composition widget can be used to have clicking on or rolling over a trigger object cause a target container to appear.

Using iMovie 11 and can't insert photos into story line?

I just got IMovie 11 and the browsers won't highlight when trying to create a movie. I can't insert photos into the storyline

If I had to guess, and this merely based on reading iMovie Discussion Group threads, I would say sometimes Themes/Trailers/Animated Titles have problems. Not to say they cannot be used, but they can be the source of crashes and other bad behavior if something gets corrupted in them. Animated titles (in a regular iMovie Project) can cause instability and crashes. So I would say, some of those Themes may not be reliable and have pieces or parts built into the template that are causing this issue.
If you wanted to try doing a bit of preventive maintenance try this:
Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and launch this program
Click on the Repair button under Disk Permissions and let it run until it finishes. Reboot the Mac, and open iMovie see if you get any different behavior out of iMovie with one of those failed Project Theme movies if you have one still available to open and look at. I won't say this is going to fix it, but it's sometimes can help. Also there's an iMovie preferences file that can get corrupted and lead to problems. To find the iMovie prefs:
Go to the Desktop look for the Go Menu at the top menu bar. Hold down the Option key and click on the Go menu. Click on Library > Preferences.
In the list of files there are: com.apple.iMovieApp.plist and also com.apple.iApps.plist
Drag both of those to the trash and relaunch iMovie. See if that preference file deletion helps.

HELP - CONVERTING A JPEG IMAGE INTO A LINE DRAWING

PLEEEASE HELP ME!!!
sorry to be thick - im only a beginner --- is there any way to covert a jpeg image into like a line drawing where there is a block colour background and solid lines that make up the picture like you sometimes get in brochures - somthing different to just the effects that are availible in the filter gallery...
thanks
LUK

As far as I recall there's no magic/easy "convert to vector drawing" functionality in Photoshop, though there are some things you can do to help smooth rough edges (e.g., Filter - Noise - Median). There are also some things you can do, if you want to get fancy, based on converting selections to paths, but that can get kind of involved and likely requires manual path editing afterward.
I have heard there are some pretty decent vector conversion functions in other Adobe apps... Adobe Illustrator, perhaps? Someone who uses Illustrator may want to chime in here; I don't have that package.

Black and White Gray Scale Photos Are Dark When Exported from Indesign to PDF

When I print right from InDesign the black and white photos look great. However, if I print the exported pdf file, the black and white photos are much darker. Is there something I should be doing upon export so that they will look as they do in InDesign?
Thanks,

I have tried different settings in format and color space all with the same results. I'm sure it has to do with system not being calibrated. I'm not to computer literate so not sure how all this works. The other programs must go along with my computer and moniter settings where LR and Elements produce their own rendering independent of settings. Yes, I checked and Elements renders like LR. I found some other forums that discussed similar problems but with color rendering. HMMM, just tried something. In Picassa I switched to Linear Gamma 2.2 in display mode and the LR edited photos look correct. So it must be something along those lines being the problem.

How can I Copy/Paste a Black & White Photo into a Layer Mask

I have a landscape picture.
Then I will copy it into another layer and convert it to black and white. I will make some changes to the B&W photo
Then I want this B&W photo to be the layer mask of a "Layer-Multiply" of the original ...
I tried copy and paste as it is, but it doesn´t works
Please help me with the steps or what I am doing wrong.
Regards
Roberto

You can paint not only a black and white photo, but also a coloured one.
Once you have copied the photo (Ctrl A and Ctrl C), before trying to paste, be sure that the layer mask is active, Alt click in the layer palette in the mask icon on the right : you get a white screen and the mask icon is shown selected. Only then can you paste into the mask (Ctrl V). To exit the mask view, Alt click again or click in the layer icon on the left.
When you paste a coloured pictures it is automatically converted to grayscale.
