Can I use Speedgrade to grade still photos?

I'd love to import, grade a .jpg photo file, and export/save it as a .jpg as well. Or integrate Speedgrade controls with Photoshop. Is there any existing way to do that? I have both PS & SG CC.

It is possible to import, grade and export jpg in SG, the same way you do it with any movie clip. But it is impossible to integrate the SG controls into Photoshop.
Thanks

Can you use color splash on a photo that was edited in black and white or do you have to mask the photo before editing it in black and white?

can you use color splash on a photo that was edited in black and white or do you have to mask the photo before editing it in black and white?

I think you are asking whether it makes an difference whether you create the mask before or after you edit the black & white version. The answer is that since the color version and the b&w version are on different layers (as seen here), it makes no difference when you edit the b&w version.
Also consider another technique that separates the color element in the image. Here, the area surrounding the color image is a line interpretation of the scene, similar to a Tone Line Conversion, a technique that was created with film many years ago. (I am so old, I still remember how it was done.) This is how to get the result similar to the one shown above but with a line illustration created in Photoshop replacing the b&w layer version:
1. Open an image. This technique is more successful if the image you select has many clearly defined edges.
2. Make a duplicate layer. (Cmd+J). It becomes Layer 1
3. With Layer 1 chosen, go to Filter>Blur>Smart Blur. Set the Quality to High and the Mode to Edge Only. The default settings are Radius 3.0, Threshold 25.0. To increase the amount of detail in the line conversion, raise the Radius setting. Use the white-on-black illustration within Smart Blur as a guide. Then click OK.
4. The line illustration will appear as white lines in a black background. To change this to black-on-white, choose Image>Adjustments>Invert.
5. Insert a new layer below Layer 1. It will serve as the background for the line illustration. To do this, hold down the Command key while clicking on the New Layer symbol at the bottom of the Layers panel. It is the second symbol from the right. It will become Layer 2.
6. Fill this new layer with a light color. To do this, click on the Foreground Color symbol in the Tools section. It will open the Color Picker. Choose a light color and click OK.
7. Choose Edit>Fill. Use: Foreground Color. Mode: Normal. Opacity: 100% and click OK. Layer 2 will fill with the color. Although it will not appear in the image because Layer 1 is above it, a quick check of the Layers panel will confirm that the color you chose has filled Layer 2.
8. Remove the white area from in Layer 1. Go to Layer 1. Choose the Magic Wand tool. Uncheck the Contiguous box in the Options Bar and click in a white area of the image. Next, click the Delete key. Choose Select>Deselect to remove the marching ants.
9. (Optional) You may now change the line illustration in Layer 1 from black to a dark color compatible with the color in Layer 2. To choose the color, click on the Foreground Color symbol in the Tools section. It will open the Color Picker. Choose a suitable dark color and click OK. While in Layer 1, click the first symbol next to the word Lock: in the Layers panel above Layer 1. This will prevent the dark color from appearing in the blank area of Layer 1. Choose Edit>Fill. Use: Foreground Color. Mode: Normal. Opacity: 100% and click OK. The black lines will change to the dark color you chose.
10. Combine Layers1 and 2: While in Layer 1, choose Layer>Merge Down. The layers are combined into a single layer called Layer 2.
11. Add a black mask to Layer 2 by clicking on the Mask symbol at the bottom of the Layers panel. It is the symbol to the right of the fx symbol. Where you would like full color objects to appear within the line rendition, paint in white on the black mask with a brush set to either soft-edge or hard-edge as the illustration and your taste dictate.

I'm trying to make "Stop motion videos" in Final Cut EXPRESS by using 100's of still photos and setting them to music. They are coming out blurry if viewed larger than 4x6 in size

I'm trying to make "Stop motion videos" in Final Cut EXPRESS by using 100's of still photos and setting them to music. They are coming out blurry if viewed larger than 4x6 in size.
I don't understand why this is happening.

Quick follow up, since I was on my phone earlier and am back to a real keyboard.
To access Easy Setup, hit Control Q.
If you click on the blue discosure triangles, a dropdown menu with about a dozen different presets will be displayed. Select the one you want, (Here, I've selected 720P.)
Whatever you select for a preset will not be applied until you make a new sequence. (I don't like to have sequences with different properties in the same project so I prefer to make a new project if I change the Easy Setup.)
Because photo aspect ratios are different than video, I typically put a solid generator of some compatible color on the first track (v1) and put my photos on the track above (v2). Looks better, IMO, than black bars. There are other creative ways to display them. And of course, you could scale them up to fill the frame…but then you probably would have to re-position them.
Good luck.

Can I use Deskjet k109a printer for photo printing?

Can I use Deskjet k109a printer for photo printing?

Hi,
Yes, your printer can print photos as mentioned in the following link:

Actually any printer can be used for photo printing, the results may not be the same.
Hope this helps.

Can't adjust clip duration of still photos in iMovie '11

Anyone having the same problem? I inserted a still photo in one of my projects in iMovie which has a a clip duration of 5s when added. I clicked the cogwheel icon then chose the inspector to adjust the duration. I've managed to changed it to 3s but after I clicked "Done", the clip duration is still under 5s.
I didn't encountered this problem before in iMovie '10 and I've searched over at Google and found out that many iMovie '11 users have the same dilemma.
Any workaround you can suggest? Thanks!

"problems setting duration for still photos and transitions in iMovie '11"
A number of people have experienced the same problem and written about it on discussions. Lots of difference solutions as well. If you search using the title quoted above, you can read the solution I found. It's more complicated than it should be. I've never had to fiddle as much with duration times for transitions and still photos. Nevertheless, the steps I have described work for me. You will also find the steps another reader offered that may work for you if all of your transitions are set for the same durations and all of the still photos are as well.

How can i use magic wand tool in photo-shop 7 ??

nhmc,

Not with a raster image, like a .jpg. You need to be more aware of the huge differences between a raster image and raster editor, and vecor graphics and a vector editor. Selecting stuff is one of the biggest difference.
In Illustrator, you work with objects, like stacks of paper on a table. You can select individual objects anywhere on the page and on any or all layers, then transform, move, delete, fill stroke, or an infinite number of things to those objects.
In Photoshop, when you select, you are really just creating a mask, which you can then use to restrict editing to pixels within that mask on the current layer. It's like working on a photo of a stack of paper on a table. You can't easily move the pieces of paper around.
It's difficult to explain in a short posting, and that's all I'm going to write tonight. If you intend to spend any time with Photoshop or Illustrator you should invest in some documentation, and I don't mean Adobe's completely insufficient on-line documentation. The Visual Quickstart series comes well recommended and scales easily to intermediate once you know your way around.

HT201317 can i use wifi to view my photos on icloud

I lost my iphone and can not access icloud to view my photos. can i use wifi or any device?

No.
iCloud and PhotoStream merely "push" you iOS photos to your other devices.

In a video (Premiere elements 12) how can I control the time a still photo is displayed? I would like a shorter time than 5 seconds, maybe 2 or 3 seconds.

In a premiere Elements 12 video, how can I have a 3 second display of a still photo?

toothdoc1
What computer operating system are you running your Premiere Elements 12 on? Are you working with a NTSC or PAL setup?
Assuming NTSC setup...
You can set a Still Image Default duration so that all the stills that are imported after that set import with the same duration (the default is 150 frames equivalent to 5 seconds in a 30 frames per second system) See Expert workspace, Edit Menu/Preferences/Still Image Default duration.
Once you get your stills on the Timeline (at the preferences set), if you want to, you can change the Still Image duration for one or more of the stills on the Timeline. To do that for one, right click the Timeline still, select Time Stretch, and , then in the Time Stretch dialog set the duration that you want. There the format is 00;00;00;00 (hours;minutes;seconds;frames). So, a 3 second duration set would look like 00;00;03;00.
If you wanted to do the Timeline still duration change on more than one at a time basis, then adjust the first, followed by a copy and paste effects and adjustments in the selected rest.
Please let us know if you are Ok with the details or you need an clarification on anything written.
Thanks.

If my iPad us setup as a hotspot I can't use wifi to post photos to my photo stream. Is there another way to do this?

You posted in the OS 10.3 (pre year 2000) forum instead of the Using iPad forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

Can I use iSight as a still camera?

Hello!
I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 17". I wish to know whether I can use iSight as a still camera or not.
Actually, when I was setting my MacBook up and came to the setting where it asked for my display picture, I hastily clicked a very unusable picture of myself and proceeded with the rest of the settings. I thought I would change it later. I then installed Microsoft MSN Messenger and it displayed that stupid picture as the display picture. I changed my User Account picture after that to a better one but MSN Messenger still is displaying the same picture as the difault picture. How do I change it? I don't even know where Mac stores the User Account picture. So, I wanted to click another picture of myself with the iSight camera and store it in the pictures folder so that I could change MSN Messenger's display picture. Is it possible? If not, how else can I change MSN Messenger's picture to the User Account picture on my OS?
Sorry for the huge rant and please do reply ASAP!
Thank you!

Hi Cool 'n' Casual,
Sort of.
You have PhotoBooth on there which will give a warning before it click the pic and flashes the screen to improve lighting when it does.
It can be a "normal" pic rather than any of the specials.
iChat itself can take a snapshot. It can be done from the Buddy List and clicking on your current Buddy pic and following the buttons. Or from the menu bar in Video.
Photobooth stores the pics and can link directly to iChat to post a pic.
Your Recent Pictures are stored in Users/(your account)/Library/Images/Recent iChat Pictures.
It is likely that you will have to navigate to this folder if you want MSN to display the same pic.
By default iChat will display the Pic you selected for your Mac user account when you set the computer up as seen in the Address Book for your Me card. It is probably this one that MSN is displaying.

Can you use ipad to back up photos and then remove them from iphone?

I have a 16gb iphone which is reaching its usage limits. I also have a 120gb ipad and want to use this to store my photos in order to free up space on my iphone. Is it possible to set this up?

Thanks for the response.
I do not yet have IOS8 due to the lack of space on the phone.
Update via iTunes, it requires much less space than trying to do it over the air.
However, I presently have sufficient space on the icloud. If I delete a photo from my camera roll will it fee up space and allow me to retain them on photostream?
It will free up space, but not enough, hundreds will need to be deleted. Read my previous post.

Can I use my iPod to move photos and music from one computer to another?

Hi,
Is it possible to have photos and music on my iPod from one computer, and then copy those from my iPod to another computer? (like with an ordinary USB-unit)
And another question: Is it possible to download movies onto my iPod? If yes, how? (owner of an iPod 30GB)
Thanks!

Did you set it to copy full-resolution photos??? If so, enable your iPod for disk use, open my computer, click on your iPod, and open the pictures folder. You can just drag them from there. If you didn't, use a program such a CopyPod Photo (google it) to copy photos from your iPod. Note that the files will only be the same resolution as your iPod screen (320x240) and not worth using for anything else. If you want to use it for sharing, definitely go with the full-res option. It is at the bottom of the photos pane in the iPod screen in iTunes.

Can you use an iphone to take photos without a sim card

Was thinking of buying new iphone on overseas trip, not taking current phone/sim with me, is it possible to use the new phone to take photos only

Sure, but you can't activate any GSM iPhone without a vaild sim card installed in the phone. Thus, to activate the phone, you'll need a sim card. The sim card itself need not be activated, but it must be valid & present.
You do realize the iPhone warranty is NOT International, correct? Except for the EU, warranty/support is only valid in country of original purchase. Also, LTE is only guaranteed in the country/region where the phone is purchased. Thus, unless you travel frequently, it doesn't make sense to purchase an iPhone in a country you don't live in or intend to use the phone in.
