Can you make a gradient mask for photos in Pages 08?

I have a photo that I want to go from 100% opacity on the left edge to zero opacity toward the right edge.
Is this possible in Pages 08?
If so .... is it also possible to control where the "fade out" begins?

I doubt it is possible inside Pages. It is possible, of course, if you use an external image editor and add the desired transparency there. (Hint: you cannot have a jpg with transparency, but you can with psd, gif, tif or png-24.)

    Yes, there are websites that can do what you want.  You just have to do a Google search for what you want.

  • Can you make a Keyword Collection for entire event library?

    Hello all,
    So you make an event, and you can make Keyword Collections for that particular event, such as "WS" or "Person 1" or "Indoors"... But...
    What if those keywords apply to other events?
    I am making video content for a particular company. I shoot stuff one day import as an event. The only content that I produce is for this company, so you can imagine there are going to be similar themes across mutable events...
    As you know this is how it is organized >
    DRIVE
    >2012
    >Event
          >Keyword Collection
    This is how I want to get organized>
    DRIVE
    Master Keyword Collection
    >2012
    >Event
         >Keyword Collection
    > Here is an example of how I think It should be
    DRIVE
    "All Interior Shots"
    >2012
      > Event
         >Interior Shots
    So can you make a Keyword Collection for entire event library?
    Can some one please explain if is this is possible? If not please update!

    Andy,
    Yes you can but that feature only works if you are searching a single event (Pretty Cool/Useful), Creating a smart collection based on what you tick off in the dialogue box... You will get an error message if Searching the drive itself:
    LOL
    I did some playing around...
    I created a new event
    Then I ran a search, with Keywords ticked off, Ticking off mutable Keyword Collections.
    Then dragged the results into my new event.
    This in effect created "saved search results" but Final Cut started copying clips to that event folder that was created on my external HD. I was hoping that It would generate alias files...
    I also...
    Created a new project
    Ran the Search with Keywords
    Dragged all clips into the project..
    This also in effect created  "saved search results" but not really what I was hoping :/

    Apple can you make a iOS update for older iphones's

    Apple is not here.
    We are all iphone users just like you.
    Like all software on all devices/computer/tvs/dvds/cars/etc, the newest updates will not be compatible with older devices.
    iphone 3g and earlier models have reached the end of the line.

  • Can you make a "filter mask" in FCP ?

    Like in photoshop you can add an "adjustment layer" , for example Hue/Saturation and then add a mask so the Hue/Saturation will only apply to a certain part of the image... Can you do the same thing in FCP, ie: apply a filter mask ?

    Thats a good tip thanks. I've used the 3-way's visual interface before so didn't notice the -limit on luma- option.
    The bottom half of my picture was underexposed,-- but it seems like this limit on luma would allow me to lighten the bottom half without increasing further the over-exposure in the top half.

  • Can you change the export resolution for photos published to Facebook?

    Hi,
    I noticed when I published photos to Facebook, it uploads the photos as high resolution 2048 pixel wide photos (when you download from Facebook).  Is there anyway to reduce the resolution other than exporting a lower resolution version of the image to my hard drive then uploading to Facebook?
    Thanks
    Jason

    I believe Aperture is automatically resizing the uploads for Facebook to stay within specs, going through an optimization procedure.  That procedure may be more focused on file size via the compression setting, so the number of pixels may not be as altered as you may expect or desire.  I don't know any control that you can exercise via the Share command.

  • Can you make an exe file for a slide show using PS Elements?

    Although I use ProShow Gold for slide shows, I need information on other programs that can provide an option for an exe format. I am not too technical so I can't tell from my Elements and couldn't find anything here. I will be running a competition in which exe files are needed so they can be played on any computer. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

    I hope your competition goes well. I suggest though that you thoroughly scan each submitted file for virus and malware on an isolated machine first. While not suggesting your competitors would deliberately infect their entry but if their own machines were unknowingly infected by (say) a trojan that could potentially infect the executables they create for your competition.
    If it was me I'd request files in a standard format (e.g. WMV) that is readable by just about any media playing software such as Windows Media Player.

  • How can I  make my own design for a web page instead of using a template?

    Need to ask the question again. I tried using the blank template, but could not get it to work. I could not insert images and copy where I wanted and in size I wanted.

    rapcom wrote:
    A general question: Is it possible to change the dimensions of the web page? Or even its positioning as a horizontal or vertical format?
    Yes — it's done via iWeb Inspector's Page tab (the second one at the top), editing the values in the +Page Size+ fields. After entering a new value, click the Return key to make it take effect...
    ..By the way, the above image is taken from a tutorial ~ click on the image above to read the tutorial.
    rapcom wrote:
    I also would prefer to edit the copy on the blank web page, and cannot do that either. Is it possible to do so?
    Yes, it's possible. But it's difficult to know what exact difficulty you're having, and I perhaps risk stating the obvious... One thing to be aware of is that clicking once inside a text box will simply select that box (you'll see eight +"grab handles"+ for re-sizing). But to edit the text inside, you need to click once more. Experiment with clicking inside and outside text boxes and you'll learn.
    And iWeb's Help menu has several resources ~ the Help viewer, a +Getting Started+ PDF and a link to ten video tutorials. One of the videos briefly demonstrates adding a text box towards the end; click here...
    If after the above you still need help, post back with step-by-step details of the problem.

  • 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.  

  • Can you make captions for a slideshow?

    can you make captions for a slideshow? otherwise how can i rename the photo so that i can select view titles in the slideshow and use it as a caption?

    Jim lo:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can't make captions with iPhoto. You can edit the title of a photo by selecting it and then going to the Info window at the bottom of the Source pane, the "i" button, clicking on the title field and enter what text you'd like.
    If you plan on using the slideshow in iDVD then those titles will not show as they will be lost in the "overscan" area that is common to all movies played on TV. You can create the slideshow in iMovie and have lots of control over titles and subtitles and greater control of the audio track, cut, fade in/out, etc.
