Can you layer several images on top of each other, like in Photoshop?

I was wondering if it's possible to use layers to make a mashup from multiple images into a single image? Or even create a blank fixed size image, and "fit" other images into that fixed size (useful for making wallpapers for various screen sizes, or avatars for message boards)?

Aperture is a digital photography organization and development tool; it is not a graphics package. (It does not do compositing.) Aperture is used by photographers to store and develop photographs taken with digicams: you take a picture, you use Aperture to organize your collection of files created by your digicams, and you use Aperture to make any single picture as good as it can be for any particular need(s) -- and then you export a file from Aperture and use that in other programs to create graphics such as mash-ups, collages, posters, catalogs, etc.

Can you layer a photo on top of a video in the iMovie app on an iPhone or an iPad?

Not without a third party app. You can search the app store for apps that let you caption and write on photos but there is no native functionality for this in iOS.

On some pages the text from more than one paragraph stack up on top of each other, like writing something then writing something else on top of it.

On some pages the text from more than one paragraph stack up on top of each other, like writing something then writing something else over the top of it. Some pages will run text and pictures together, like a car rear-ending another or a train pile up. Other pages will cut an image or text short, i.e. it will display a portion of the top of the image or text but not the rest. This happens on Amazon for example, the section where it says "Customers who looked at this also looked at" will allow only a certain amount of the upper portion of the description immediately below the picture of the product but below that section everything is fine until I get to another section displaying more products and their descriptions and then it cuts the bottom portions off again. I've noticed this behavior mostly in the sections with product photos, the text sections seem okay. YouTube also displays this behavior. It's even doing it on this page right now. Below this box I can read "The more information you can provide the better chance your question will be answered " , but directly below that in the next sentence I can see the start of it with "Troublshootin" and the "Automatically Add" in a green field covering the "g". The next clear text is "A window will open in the top corner. Click Allow, and then click Install. If the automated way doesn't work, try these manual steps." I tried turning of pre-fetching, clearing history, cookies, and cache, scanning for malware with Avast and Windows Defender all to no avail. It began when I upgraded from dial up to DSL via AT&T Uverse. I have a Motorola NVG510 modem. The modem was replaced an hour ago along with new dedicated lines and DSL/Phone splitter from the box by an AT&T technician to make sure my incoming lines were up to par. He ran a connection test and verified everything is up to standards. IE does not display this behavior. I am running Firefox20.0.1 and all previous versions have acted the same way since I upgraded to DSL about 3 months ago.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

Can you place an image on top of a movie?

I am creating a slideshow. The background image is an HD movie of some candles burning. I want to then have smaller images fade in and out next to the burning candles, one after another, with some panning and zooming as well. In other words, I want to have an image over a movie, but I need each image to be the same size and in the same position for each one. I have created a similar slideshow, building everything in Photoshop then importing the PSD file into Premiere. It was the only way I could figure out how to get the images to be in the same position in Premiere; it worked out great! However, wanting to pan and zoom I obviously need the images to be larger than the actual size I want to achieve the panning and zooming affect. So how do I do it? If I import the images into Premiere separately how do I get them to be on the same X & Y coordinates? Can I do a mask effect in Premiere as one can in Photoshop? I was going to build the project in Photoshop’s timeline, but you can’t control the length of a clip, as well as other factors, with any consistency, so it’s becoming too time consuming.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Michael

Thank you, Bill, your article will be very helpful. I appreciate it.
My question, However, is not getting answered, and either I am not getting it (which is highly likely) or I am not explaining my situation correctly, so I'm going to try and explain it in more detail if you don’t mind.
I understand the whole PIP solution and that helps me in part.
Here is what I have and what I am trying to do.
My video is 1280x720. On the right hand side there are candles lite. On the left hand side i have an image 724x504. I'm going to have images fade in and fade out with in this 724x504 frame. I would also like to pan and zoom the image within the 724x504 dimensions. To do that I need my images to be larger than 724x504. I don't want to scale ALL the images to 724x504 in Photoshop then bring them into PrPro because I wont be able to pan and zoom the image. I need some sort of Mask, like in Photoshop, but don't think I can do it in PrPro. I want the viewer to only see the 724x504 frame and not the excess of the image needed to pan and zoom.
I hope I was clearer in describing my issue.

Placing images on top of each other

"I have a png file that is a gradient. I have inserted this
file into Dreamweaver to use as my background.
I now want to put some other image files that will go "on
top" of this gradient image. I cant figure out how to make the new
images I insert stay on top of the gradient.

insert it as the background in your CSS. If it goes in the
wrapper, use
this:
#wrapper {
width: 770px;
background-image: url(../images/gradientbg.png);
more rules
then you can insert your image on top of what is now a
background.

Easiest way to create and manage several videos on top of each other

I want to have one video pay for 10 seconds
I then want 40% reduced version to play on a loop on the top left
Below it, there should be 2 further videos side by side - each 20% size
Below these 2, there should be another 2 videos side by side each 20% size
What's the best way of doing the above?
Just using the timeline is super fiddly trying to adjust videos
Maybe use compound clips?
Any advice would be great
Thanks

aside creating a template in Motion5, I would recommend to use the Info pane.
I'm a huge fan of mouse/MagicTrackpad, but using FCPX now for quite a while, I learned THIS app needs widely use of the keyboard.
have a look:
as an example:
four inserts, 'nicely' arranged … and there's a 'scheme':
in the info pane, you'll notice the same numbers, again and again:
all inserts 33% in size - type it in = all same size.
all inserts are at '300' and '140' - due to the coordinates in use in FCPX,
it just varies in +plus and -minus signs/preface
so, once you have found your layout, round-up (no huge diff. btw -133.68/141.7 and -130/140 ), note your number-scheme; instead of dragging around handles, type your values - fast & precice. And easy.
another option: copy/paste attributes cmd-shift-v .... if your inserts have to appear all at the same position

Images are on top of each other.

Forgive me, but I will explain this as best I can. We just got our iMac. We have 2 cameras that we use. So I imported some pictures from church last night. They show up in my library at the bottom AND the top (as if they were imported twice). Now, if I'm at the top of my library and double-click on an image, it brings me to the editing room. But now instead of the picture being the one from church, the enlarged picture is a construction picture taken by another camera (and the picture in the toolbar area is still the picture from church - they don't match). However, those same church pictures at the bottom of the library don't have that problem - they are what they should be. And there are some other images like that, too (but not all of my pictures have done that). And they don't have the same file name, so it's not like iPhoto is confused by that. Also, if I'm scrolling through, I will see pictures from church, and when I stop scrolling, the construction pictures come in and take their place.
Any ideas??? Why is it double-importing and placing images on top of each other like that? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for any help you might have on this.

Pictures on top of each other

Hi all!
I have a question of how I place several images on top of each other. I have an application and I place a background image in it. Then I want to have images "on top" of the background imgage. All images is in the format .png, which can be transparent.
My problem is that when I add an transparent image, I dont see the background image through it. Instead I get the default background color (something grey/blue).
Can somebody help me with:
1) How do I put the background picture in my JFrame (I'm not sure I'm doing this correctly)
2) How do I display .png images in the JFrame so that I see the background through it?
Regards,
Andreas

New icons alway appear top right corner on top of each other.

Hi All.
When I connect to a network disc or download something to the desktop, anything that needs a new desktop icon to be created, all the newly created icons appear stacked on top of each other, like a deck of cards, in the top right hand corner. I usually have my main HD there but it refuses to stay put. I've tried the arrange and clean up options, I have also repaired permissions and run disc warrior. This is a very recent complete re install of everything, from scratch. Any other suggestions?
Regards, Nick

Hi Nick
This may work.
Open Terminal, found in Applications/Utilities.
copy and paste this text into terminal.
sudo rm .DS_Store
supply your password, it will be 'invisible' as you type, Press Return/Enter key
type
exit
Quit Terminal.
Log out and log back in again.

To populate all pages in a site with a common banner image or menu, read DW help about Templates, Library Items or Server-Side-Includes.
As Nadia said, you can style a #header division with CSS to use a background image.
EXAMPLE here:
http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/Liquid-header.shtml
CSS code:
#header {
     padding:0 10px 0 10px;
     line-height:0;
     color:white;
     font-weight:bold;
     background: #000000 url(../Images/Alt-Web-lensflair.jpg) no-repeat top left;

How can you upload an image to MYSQL using php?

Ok this is a joint thread with one of my other ones because no one else was posting on it, so I did not get what I needed, so, How can you upload an image to mysql so when some one logs on to my site, they see or can upload there own avatar, now there are loads of problems with this, 1) many people don't know how, 2) It's not every day you try to encode a image into mysql, 3) Letting people upload images into mysql can cause traffic problem with people trying to log in. So that's it.

Uploading images into MySQL is a bad idea, for more reasons than you mention. You should store the images in a directory on the server instead. But if you want to learn the hard way, here is the method:
The mysql data type must be blob.
The form enctype must be multipart, like this: enctype="multipart/form-data"
The form input field myst be type file, like this: <input type="file" name="upload"/>
Here is example code that prepares the variable $photodata to be inserted into the database.
$uploadfile = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'];
$photoname = $_FILES['upload']['name'];
$uploadtype = $_FILES['upload']['type'];
if ($uploadfile != "") {
$tempfile = fopen($uploadfile, 'rb');
$filesize=filesize($uploadfile);
$width=getimagesize($uploadfile);
$widthx=$width[0];
$heightx=$width[1];
if (($widthx > 102) or (heightx > 135)){
$image_too_big = " but the image size was too large and was not submitted.";
} else {
$photodata = fread($tempfile, filesize($uploadfile));
$photodata = addslashes($photodata);

Is there a simpel solution to this problem?

You don't.
It's not possible. The e-mail protocol is designed for text; anything else has to go as an attachment.
Different mail clients (such as Mail.app, the mail client bundled with Mac OS X) may have different ways of handling such attachments, but they are still attachments. Each mail client has its own rules and methods, so one may display a picture as if it were in the body of the message, but another client may do something completely different.
A way of faking it is to format your message in HTML (which is a kind of text). The image is hosted on a remote server, not added to the message; instead, you include a link to it in the body of the message, as you would when building a web page. (This is also what the two tips helpfully provided by X423424X do, except that the link to the image is added in the signature, rather than the body of the message.) What exactly happens to it is, again, at the discretion of the mail client. In my case, for instance, displaying images in HTML messages is turned off, and will stay resolutely off.
