Can I make a still photo?

I'd like to take a picture of myself with my iSight that I can use as an avatar on various web forums. Can the iSight do this without Photo Booth?

Hi Remmirath:
You sure can!
1. Open iChat AV.
2. From the Buddies menu, choose Change My Picture.
3. In the resulting Buddy Picture window, click the Camera button next to "Take Video Snapshot."
4. Say "cheese" and voila—instant mug shot!

How can I make a still photo from imovie

How can I make a still photo from imovie?

Let's assume you have iMovie 11 (Version 9). (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different.)
First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
I have created a short video Tutorial on how to do this. There is one error in the Tutorial, where it says that Command-click is the same as right-click. I should have said Control-click instead.

Can you make a still photo from clip

How do I take a frame from imovie and make a still photo from it.
Thanks

AppleMan1958's Tip, as referred to by Matt, works fine for iMovie '09, but if you have iMovie '11 you will need to use a different procedure.
Unlike all earlier versions of iMovie, the latest version (IMovie '11 - 9.0.2) does not provide for the creation of stills from video for use outside the program. Certainly, you can create freeze frames in the project and add stills from the Events - but these are only available within the project.
The best solution is to use MPEG Streamclip - available from the developer (Squared 5) here:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
In the Project or Event, right-click (or control-click) on the clip from which you wish to extract the still. From the pop-up menu select Reveal in Finder. Drag the clip to MPEG Streamclip. Move the playhead to the desired frame. Now, from the menu, select File>Export Frame. The following window will appear:
Choose your preferred Format (JPEG, TIFF or PNG) and other options if desired, then Save. The saved file can now be used in iPhoto or any image editing application, or printed as required.

How can I create a still photo from my video

How can I create a still photo using my video.

I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX. It's kinda hidden in the "share." Go File/Share/Add Destination. You want "Save Current Frame." After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

You do not need the QuickTime MPEG2 disk image unless you want to convert some MPEG2 clips. For photos, you don't need it.
You can buy it from Apple at this link, but like I said, you should not need it.

How can I put a still photo in to a iMovie tralier on the iPad 2

How can I put a still photo into a iMovie tralier on a iPad 2

Here's one way.
You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.

Did you move to iOS 8 via iTunes? Your photos should all be on your iPhone 5s without any issues even if you updated via WiFi. The update should have no impact on your photos other than to have moved any photos in your former Camera Roll to your Photos. When opening the Photo App you should see Photos and Albums available at the bottom of the screen. You can also look at Settings>General>About and looking down the list your should see the word Photos and a Count at the right. This count should represent all of the photos in your iPhone.

Can I make a still pic from a movie in iPhoto?

Hi Guys,
I've got a movie of my daughter blowing out her fifth birthday cake candles. Can I extract a still from this to put on her thank you cards?

Use iMovie or QuickTime Pro (if you have it.)

How can I make sure my photo filenames show up on Facebook when I use iPhoto uploader?

When I upload pictures to Facebook, my filenames are not showing. I would like to have them up there so that I can make sure I don't upload the same photos twice. Is this a Facebook problem or an iPhoto problem?
Thanks,
BayouPirate

Here is an Apple Support document on restoring your iPhoto Library from Time Machine:
iPhoto '11: Restoring from Time Machine with iPhoto '11 (9.2 or later) and OS X Lion 10.7.2 (or later) - Apple Support
Larry already summarized most of the issues, but note this paragraph: iPhoto no longer supports browsing Time Machine backups:
When using iPhoto ’11 (version 9.2 or later) and Time Machine with OS X Lion 10.7.2 (or later), iPhoto no longer has the Browse Backups option. This means that instead of restoring specific photos within your iPhoto Library, you must restore your entire iPhoto Library.
And this is critical:
Time Machine canʼt do a full iPhoto Library backup when iPhoto is open. To ensure that Time Machine does a complete backup of your library, periodically quit iPhoto before backing up.
It is important that you quit iPhoto before doing the first backup of an iPhoto Library, because you will need a full backup of the library. Later it will suffice to quit iPhoto occasionally, before Time Machine starts. You will not want to do a full backup of your iphoto library, every time Time Machine is running.

How can I make the edited photo appear in my folder?

Hi! This is my first post here, and I've just acquired Lightroom after having worked with ACDSee Pro (currently v6) for some years. I love taking photos and editing them later if necessary.
I understand that LR works differently to ACDSee, with the catalogue and all, and I've successfully imported my picture folders into my new LR catalogue. What I haven't yet been able to grasp is what LR does with my edited photos. When I edit (develop) a picture in ACDSee, the edited version of that photo appears in my original folder as soon as I have finished editing it.
With LR, after having done my processing all I can see in my folder is the original, unedited picture. The edits are only visible in LR, but not anywhere else. I'd like to see the edited photo in my folder so that I can use it, for example, for screen saver slide shows. I don't want to go and look for this edited picture in any place other than its original folder, and neither do I want to have two copies of it, namely the original and the edited version, in that folder. All I care for at this point is the edited version since the original can be restored at any time from within LR, or at least I think this how it should be since that's how I did it with ACDSee if I wanted to go back to the original picture.
Is there any way I can achieve what I'm looking for with LR?
Thank you very much for your assistance for a total LR beginner.
Hugo

and neither do I want to have two copies of it, namely the original and the edited version, in that folder
I don't think this is possible, given the normal way Lightroom works. You have the original (the image contained in this file is never modified by Lightroom) and you will have the export.
Note: you could instruct Lightroom to overwrite your original (if it was a JPG or TIF or PSD, but not a RAW), however this is extremely discouraged and your original would be gone. Your assumption "since the original can be restored at any time from within LR" is incorrect, that is not how Lightroom works if you overwrite the original JPG TIF or PSD (which of course is just one of several reasons why this approach is extremely discouraged).

How Can I Make A Large Photo with Product Detail for My Thumbnails in Dreamweaver

Hello All:
New to Dreamweaver, so my code knowledge does not exist yet. Have Mercy!!!!
Anyway , I am making a typical product page.
I prefer that when people click the thumbnail product photo to not have to click into another brower.
Nowadays you are able to click in what is commonly called a "Quick View" that pops up and gives you a full sized
image along with product detail, and pricing. That's all I want.
How can I link this [the larger photo and product detai] to my thumbnails in Dreamweaver????
I want the look that is on every website like Target, Macy, etc.
Someone, please help me to !!!!!!!
These lil' faces are really cute. They are helping me to smile after hours and days, weeks of frustration. TWIN MADDOG!!!

Hi,
don't understand your problem, ore hope to understand it right. You could put the images on a DW file and link to another file with the larger image and where you have written all your informations.
I made this here only for a new, larger image (without additional informations):

Can I create a still photo montage in one frame with imovie 08?

I want to cut a part of several single frames in imovie, and paste each of them in one single frame in imovie, or iphoto, so that I can print a single photo montage of all the cut images. Is this possible in imovie 08 and iphoto, and if not, does anyone know what software will do this?
Thanks, Rick

Sorry this isn't possible in im08, try creating single frames in PS and importing them into imovie.
