Can't create text on this image in PSE10

This has got me stumped. There's something strange going on with this image. I downloaded it from the Web, and can't create text on it -- text that's visible. The text layer is created (I can see it in the Layers palette), but no matter what font, size or colour I use, the text does not appear on the image. I've re-saved the file in PSE10, and as another image in PhotoPaint X5 (which can create text on the image just fine) to no avail. Here's the image that was saved as another image in PP, but still doesn't work with the text tool in PSE10:
It's not an important image, just one I use as a test case, but it's driving me crazy.

Aha! I figured it out. I used File...Open As to open it as a Camera RAW file. In the ACR editor, it was showing as 16-bit depth. Changed it to 8-bit and saved it. Now the Text tool works!

Can't create text with PHP using imagettftext [SOLVED]

I think that after the upgrade of PHP to the modular one I can't create text using TTF fonts. Before I file a bug report could someone confirm if it works or not for them? I might just have screwed something in my box.
This code should create a text image and display it in the browser (it assumes you have DejaVu fonts in the default directory):
<?php
// Set the content-type
header("Content-type: image/png");
// Create the image
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 30);
// Create some colors
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 128, 128, 128);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 399, 29, $white);
// The text to draw
$text = 'Testing...';
// Replace path by your own font path
$font = '/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSans.ttf';
// Add some shadow to the text
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 11, 21, $grey, $font, $text);
// Add the text
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, $font, $text);
// Using imagepng() results in clearer text compared with imagejpeg()
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>
Could someone with an up to date php with GD enabled tell me if it works or him/her?
Thanks.
EDIT: Ok, I solved it. The error reporting is turned off by default now, so I was not getting any error. After turning it on I found out it was related to the open_basedir directive being enabled now in php.ini. Turning it off allowed me to access the TTF for drawing text.

How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

If you want Muse to "pass through" your images and not adjust, compress, crop etc - you need to place your images in the lightbox EXACTLY at the right size, pre-cropped and prepped in Photoshop.
So if your light box is 800x600 the image you're dropping into that must be 800x600 exactly with no effects, rotation etc added to the lightbox frame. This stop Muse fiddling with your images, if they are perfect when inserted and you're not asking Muse to crop, expand, add effects etc. If it's perfect when inserted, Muse SHOULD also leave the resolution alone too, but I have not tried that one, but in theory, it should work.

I can understand the need to quickly reply to text messages without having to type the entire message. The Motorola Droid Maxx comes with a feature called "Motorola Assist" that allows you to perform these tasks. See more details on page 22 in the Device User Manual here: http://vz.to/1wW6P3B.

Can't create apple id this device is no longer eligible FOR CREATING A FREE ICLOUD ACCOUNT

I am not able to create a new i cloud apple id apple phone showing this error (can't create apple id this device is no longer eligible FOR CREATING A FREE ICLOUD ACCOUNT). So i requested please help us.
Thanks
Sudhir Saini

Any one device can create only three iCloud accounts; if your phone has already created three then it can never create any more - this is tied to the hardware, not the user account. You can create an iCloud account on another iOS device or a Mac and then you will be able to sign into that on your phone.

Can't Wrap Text Around an image

Hi I'm trying to wrap text around an image in adobe flex 3 i
always want the image to be in the upper left hand corner of a Vbox
or canvas or whatever with the text neatly wrapping around it. im
using an xml list to generate the image and the surrounding text I
no it cant be done using htmlText but it does not make the text
appear exactly as I would like it involves to much editing of the
text so i would like to know f there is another way of doing so i
can pull the text in without havingto convert it to html
many thanx
lloyd

Have you tried just putting the text in line with the pic and
call it htmltext, even if it's not? I suppose it depends on if you
have some characters that should be escaped but embedding the image
should always be up at the upper left. Something like the following
with your own pic.jpg.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable]
public var htmlString:String="<img src='Assets/pic.jpg'
align='left'/>This is just some sample text & some things
that should be escaped like it's time to check to see if this thing
wraps OK. This is just some sample text & some things that
should be escaped like it's time to check to see if this thing

How can I insert text on an image via IPhoto?

I am still learning about my IMac and primary use for it was mainly for my photo images. At the moment attempting to build a new website via IWeb and as part of the site will be numerous images. However, when making up the albums, I wanted to have text on my images but alas on the face of it I cannot see how this is possible as part of the existing IPhoto software - could any member advise how it can be done?
My alternative at the moment is to use Adobe Photoshop on my Windows based Laptop, insert text on the image, save and then upload to my IMac into my Album - mmmm a bit long winded to say the least! Regardless, thanks in advance.

You can learn to do this with the Preview app already on your Mac.
Open Preview. Make sure that the Annotate button appears in the Toolbar. If the button is not already there, select Customize Toolbar from Preview's View menu. Drag the Annotate button (the pencil) to your your preferred location on the Toolbar.
Open a photo in Preview, press the Annotate button and use the Annotate tools to add your text. You will find instructions on annotating files and documents in Preview Help in the Help menu.

Can´t create new Version from Image with meta/adjustment?

I have some Images (.tiffs) which have Metadata/Adjustments but I can´t create a new Version from them.
Any idea what to do??
thanks appreciate your help!
r

'weeks of work'. that's far too much to just let go of. so...
(re-reading your original message...)
'capturing' means simply importing, right?
but you've made adjustments to the images after import?
and you've added keywords/IPTC/metadata to the images after import?
I'd try:
A. split the tiff project/s into smaller projects (100 images or so) if you haven't already done so. (this'll take a while because Aperture slows down significantly when master images are moved around)
B. export the projects.
C. delete the projects from inside Aperture. there should be none of your 'problematic' tiff images remaining in the library.
D. relaunch Aperture and rebuild the library.
E. import the projects one at a time, rebuilding the library after each import in case there is something in the project's data files that needs fixing.
F. try to do what you want to do with the images in the project.
if everything works ok, then import the next project and repeat steps E and F.

How can add some text on the image

I have images in the gif format.
How can I add some text in specified point on the image?
Fpor example, by using Intermedia plugins?

We do not support this functionality. I suspect you are talking about watermarking?
I would suggest you send a message to [email protected] , the product manager for interMedia and describe your application. This would be helpful in defining future requirements. He may also know of partners that can supply this technology.
You can add text to an image using JAI or some other packages before the image goes into the database, or when it goes out.

How can I create a single background image for a BorderLayout?

I can create a background with an image file for the individual panel (North, West, Center, East and South) in a BorderLayout, but I've been spinning my wheel for a long while now trying to figure out how to create just one background with a single image file for all of these panels?
In my application, a panel may contain various buttons, a listbox, a group of checkboxes, a combo box, or a canvas. Even if I used the same image file, when the panels are finally put together, one can clearly see that the end product is the result of a lot of patch works.
Hope someone has an answer for this. BTW, I'm using AWT because it works with existing browsers without the need for a separate Java plug-in.

How can I create a bootable DISK IMAGE of my PB Internal Drive?

I would like to make a bootable image of my Hard Drive but without including any Free Space.
You see all I need on the image are the OSX and the programs, NOT the 60GB of Free Space. Disk Utility however wants to create a 80gb image which includes 60GB of Free Space.
I would like to use the Bootable image as a source image to use with the RESTORE function in Disk Utility.
Regards

You'll need a second machine or an external HDD with Mac OS X installed on it.
For purposes of this procedure I'll be calling your machine the 'source' and the second machine or your external HDD the 'target'.
First either boot the source into target mode by holding down the 'T' key while it boots. Once you see the FireWire icon on the screen, let go of the 'T' key and plug the source into the target. If you're going with the external HDD route, boot your source of off your external HDD.
Now, select the drive of your source machine, and hit Apple-I to bring up the information pane. Down at the bottom (in the permissions area) you'll see a check box labeled "Ignore ownership..." Uncheck that.
Open up Disk Utility. Select the source drive and run First Aid and Repair Permissions on it.
Now, select the File menu -> New -> New Disk Image from Folder. You're going to want to hit that big "New Image" button, but don't. Trust me. It'll only cause trouble for you down the road.
Select the source drive as the source. You can leave everything else the same and click "Image".
Select the target as the destination. Click Save.
Wait for a couple of hours (depending on how much stuff you have).
When it's done, select the Images menu -> Scan image for Restore.
Select the disk image you just made and click "Scan".
When that's done you have a restorable image. Just use the restore tab to restore it.
I've done this literally hundreds of times and it's worked every single time.

How Can I Create Something In This Style?

HI guys, I am currently working on graphics for a mobile game I am making. I have some skill in vector, mostly through Inkscape, but I am trying to use Illustrator more. The thing is despite what program I use I can't figure out how to create something in the style I desire. I would like it to look something like this...
I can create the vector objects, like the saws,door, and chest pretty well, It is just the background and foreground in which I am lost. I notice they have a texture to them, with various colors, and almost a hand drawn look. Can this be accomplished in Illustrator, or will I need to use Photoshop? If so, how can I go about getting something similar to this. Are there any tutorials for work in this style, because I haven't been able to find any? Any information would be great. Even if their are any vector tutorials in this cartoon style, that would be nice too,since I can always improve. Thanks in advance!

There are many ways you can achieve this effect you just need to learn.
Here are some useful links for you to teach yourself some trick and effects:
Tutorials - Adobe Illustrator - Digital Arts (lots of useful tutorials for adding textures & effects!)
How to Create a Cartoon House in Illustrator - Illustrator Tutorials - Vectorboom
Hope these help you achieve what you want.

How can I create a rotating basketball image in Motion?
