Cant put image on top of another image

Hi,
I'm using keynote 09 with the 'Blueprint' theme. I'm attempting to edit the master slides by putting a company logo in the corner of each slide. This works fine on slides without images, but on slides with images, keynote will not let me put my logo over the image placeholder. The placeholder image always blocks my logo, even when I choose 'Send backward' on the place holder.
Is there a way around this?
thanks

Sorry, I was typing fast.
The problem is that you cannot put images above media placeholders on master slides. One suggestion was to make my image (my logo comprised mostly of white text) a media placeholder as well, therefore I could edit the master slide and layer my new media placeholder (logo) above the default-already-existing placeholder (some architectural image in the blueprint theme).
This works but has an additional problem.
Since my logo is white text, I wanted for it to stand out from the picture beneath it. As I sometimes do, I thought I should place my white-text-logo on top of a small black rounded rectangle with transparency (like a cartouche).
I like to do that because it makes my logo legible, while still showing the picture through the transparency. INdeed, this is easy to do if you are only dealing with pictures and shapes (and not the magical placeholder versions of them)
You can make the shape a text placeholder, and you can make the image (logo) a media placeholder, but you can't group the two together as a unit. And if you group them first, then you cannot make your group (shape+image-logo) a placeholder at all, so you then cannot layer it on top of the default image place holders.
I was saying that I'd have to open my logo in photoshop and put it on top of a 'cartouche' and then import that modified image, and THEN make it a media placeholder.
But obviously it would be easier if keynote just let us properly layer elements as you would expect it to work.
I mean, setting images aside, why can't I create a shape and put it in front of a media placeholder without making the shape a text placeholder?
Of course I can edit my logo and add dropshadow or glow to make it stand out, but even then, I would need to make it a placeholder before keynote would let me layer on top of another placeholder. And if I'm going through the trouble of using photoshop to add shadows or glows, I might as well just put the image on top of a cartouche as originally desired.

I want put on image on top of another image that will be the background

First, I'm a big believer in doing a "search" to find some existing tutorial to help me. But, as with the last time I asked a question here, no other tutorial (on Youtube or Julieanne Kost's blog) addressed exactly what I needed. I came here and got my answer immediately. (searching here seems to only default to asking a question on a new thread so here goes)
So here's my question this time: say I have a pic of a beer bottle ( that I know how to select) and I have a landscape pic. I want the landscape pic as the background and just place (and probably resize) the beer bottle (or frothy glass of beer or whatever) on top of the other image. Sounds easy, right? The tutorials on Youtube would spend forever demonstrating how to use the Pen tool and would click here and there quickly and pretty soon I'm just lost.
I'm going to provide two pics. If it's different with putting two selected images on the same image background, please explain how to do that as well. Like I say, the last question I had (putting a label from one bottle to another, remember?) only here did I get clear concise instructions, instructions I didn't get anywhere else. Please be detailed. I didn't even know how to open my layers pallette last time!

Hi there Below I've provided some easy steps for moving a selection from one image to another.
1. Open up both images in Photoshop - you can see that I have two open tabs, one named "Bottle" and the other named "River".
2. Grab the Quick Selection Tool from the toolbar, as highlighted below. There are other ways to make a selection (including the pen tool), but for a simple shape like a bottle or a label, the Quick Selection Tool works great.
To select the bottle, just click and drag to "brush" in your selection. To change the size of the brush, use the bracket keys [ ] on your keyboard.
3. To clean up yor selection a bit, go to Select > Refine Edge. Here you can adjust your selection. I've check the Smart Radius option and increased the selection radius a bit. When you're done, click OK.
4. Now you can move your selection over into your background. With your Bottle tab open, go to Edit > Copy (or hit command/control C on your keyboard). Go to the River tab and go to Edit > Paste (command/control V).
5. Done! The bottle now should be on a new layer with the river in the background. You can now resize or edit the bottle independently of the bacgkround layer.
If you need additional help, please feel free to post here again. In addition, I've posted two video tutorials below for you to look at. I hope this helped!

Placing an image on top of existing image

I seem to have a lot of trouble with placing an image on top of an existing image and then wanting it to stay relative to the original. As in... I want to put a button on an image of a map. Then later.. will make a hotspot on that area to open another window.
My trouble is with placing the button and then having it stay relative to the map no matter how the browser window moves or is sized. What is the prefered method using DW CS4? Can you point to a tutorial on how to do this...
Thanks for your time
Ralph

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
But, placing one image on top of another in a web page must be a task that happens all the time.. I just have not found a straight forward way to do it yet.
It's really not common.
It can be done via layering (what Dreamweaver calls APDivs) but you may still get layout issues with browser resizing.

I want to embed images such that when we click an image in the pdf, another image appears as popup..

i have a pdf which deals about the description of the product. i want to start with an interface image and a link on the next line say 'Expand'. this link will open the interface image with larger resolution. i cant find a way to embed another image... i am not looking for rollover.. when i click the link, only then the image should appear as a popup...i have Adobe Acrobat Professional... but cnt find any relevant option for this task..
is there any javascript to call out this particular image when the link is clicked.
i just want the image to appear as a pop up and not another file.
Any help in this issue is highly appreciated.

Nasreen,
As Dave said, you can create a button to show/hide a layer.
You can also have a button that shows/hides another button.
First create a button with the image you want to make appear as its icon, and then hide it (Button properties > General > hidden)
Then create another button that shows/hides the first button when clicked (Button properties > Actions > show/hide a field action)

Putting one Image on top of another

Hi.
I'm trying to finish a web page, where I can have a background image, and another image on top of it.
I've used some CSS, and I tried setting the background image as the background of a table, and then making a table within that for the image I want on top, but I'm having a hard time getting things lined up.
I need to keep the images separate, because I want people to be able to download the image on top separately.
Is there any easy way to do this in Dreamweaver?
Or is there a way to do this in Fireworks, and keep the images separate?
Thanks!!

I've checked this thread a few times now and I'm sure i'ts not my eyes even if it is the early hours of the morning here, but I have not once seen a link to the problem pages.
Unless you provide the code in full (html and css) - or even better upload all the working files to a remote site and provide the link, everything really is only a guessing game :-)
Proving a link, allows people to see the html, the css and all the imagery that makes up the site, by just posting code, we don't get to all of that interacting together to see what may be causing the problems.

Can Aperture lay one image on top of another?

Remember the days of sandwiching two negatives and printing them as one image?
OK, most of you who can answer me were not born then. But that's what I want to do with two files—can Aperture do this for me?
Thanks,
Ben

Unfortunately, no.
You will need a program that can composite (typically with layers and transparency capabilities) so one image can show through another to varying degrees.
The most expensive option is Photoshop full version ($700) and the least would be Gimp (which is free).
Note - there are many other programs between the above price range including Photoshop Elements which will easily do the trick and more.
Editing this one to add that Pixelmator looks like a promising app and is available as a trial at their site:
http://www.pixelmator.com/
They also have a sneak peak of Pixelmator 2 which a new purchaser can purchase the current version from the Mac App Store for $29 and will receive Pixelmator 2 as a free upgrade when released.
http://www.pixelmator.com/sneak-preview/
I would suggest giving this one a try before looking at Photoshop or Gimp.

How to import a image and compare with another image to find their deviation

i am new to labview , can anyone tell how to import a image and compare it with another image to find their deviation
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is an quite easy task using the Vision Development Module.
There you can acquire images from cameras or read them form the harddrive, then differntiate them or since VDM 2010 calculate the optical flow between consecutive images.

New user question - superimposing one image on top of another

Hi,
I am a new user to Photoshop having downloaded the trial version of Elements 10 this morning so forgive my very basic question. I have a picture of a sunset and a picture of a ship. How do I place the ship in the sunset please? that is, how do I superimpose the ship on to the sunset background?
Cheers,
Mankie22

You can also try the quick selection tool. The selection tools take some practice to understand them. Changing brush sizes in the option bar may help you with either the selection brush tool or the quick selection tool. You want the selection to include the entire ship, not just the outer edges. You may have had the brush very small and therefore just selected a narrow edge of the ship.
Once you make your selection and paste it over the other layer, you should take a look at how the edges of the ship appear. If they are jagged, you might need to Undo a couple of steps and either fix up the selection ( change brush size, addto/subtract from). Another refinement would be to make sure you still have a selection tool active and then right click within the selection. Choose Refine Edge and you can smooth the edge there - along with other refinements available.

Help. cant put a second layer over another without the picture breaking up

Just started happening. On a PC, have plenty of Ram. NVIDIA card. Was working fine, but now whenever I put one video over another the second picture starts breaking up. If I delete thelayer below, the picture is fine again. Any ideas

I will check tomorrow, but it's possible they are different. Has that been known to be an issue?

Place spry navigation on top of an image?

I have an image on the side of my web page that I am
building. I want to place a spry navigation bar on top of this
image but I can't figure out how to position it correctly. Can
anyone give me a hint? I'm using CS3 on a Mac.

Is there any way we can see your website? Fishing around in the dark is not a good way to give advice.
I should also mention that the "slicing Photoshop files" method of website building is probably not the way we build websites anymore, if I understand where you are coming from.
Generally speaking, if you have an image in the background set up in your style sheet, you should be able to put things on top of that image.
So, let's say we have a div and I'm going to call it "player." We may want to have more than one player on a page, so we'll give it a class:
CSS:
.player {
background-image: url("/path/myimage.jpg");
HTML:
<div class="player">
<audio controls>
<source src="/path/myaudio.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
<source src="/path/myaudio.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>
</div>
Now, what I have done here is to create an HTML5 Audio player. The web page with the audio must be HTML5. And you will probably need to edit your .htaccess file to include the following:
AddType audio/ogg .oga
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType application/ogg .ogg
AddHandler application-ogg .ogg .ogv .oga
If you don't know how to edit an .htaccsss file, you should be able to add those MIME types in your host's Control Panel.
The way you declare an HTML5 document is to start the document with:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
This would be before you start your <head> region.
But I must warn you, I'm offering all of this with a great deal of trepidation. I believe you're putting together a website using tables and inline code for things like backgrounds and such. Modern web design does not use tables to format web pages.
Without looking at what you're doing, there is a very big limit as to how I can advise you.

How do I make text sit on top of an image without it disappearing.

I am currently copying and pasting images with captions from quark express files to indesign cs6 files.
Everytime I copy and paste these images the captions which are on top of the image disappear behind
the image. How do I put the text back on top of the image? and in general how do you put text on top
of an image without it disappearing?

text.on.image.question wrote:

This is probably a really bad workflow that will end up biting you. I've not actually been able to copy a an image box from Quark and paste it into ID to test, so I don't know waht youare doing, exactly, but odds are you are not pasting a link to the image (doe sit show a link in ID's Links panel?). If not, you should be building this from scratch or opening the Quark file directly in ID (up to version 4 with out a plugin, later than that requires the Q2ID plugin from Markzware).

Place an mp3 player on top of an image in image-based website??

Hi everyone!
I am trying to create a website for our company, and have made an image-based website in Photoshop. The whole background is composed of sliced images from a Photoshop file, and I want to add links, drop down menus, a photo slider, and an mp3 player with Dreamweaver. I am having a great deal of trouble as I don't know nearly as much about coding as I would like to!
Right now I am trying to add an mp3 player to the bottom of our website, but I want it to be on top of the bar at the bottom of the page. Since the bar is technically an image, every time I paste the code for the mp3 player into the HTML, it goes above or below the bar rather than on top of it. Is there any way to remedy this?? Advice would be appreciated! Thanks

Current position in image resets upon switching between images

I have Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP. Here's what happens:
I have multiple images open at once
I'm zoomed in real close on a picture, say somewhere in the lower-right-hand corner of the image
I switch to another image (ie, go to Window->[Other Image File.jpg] or hit Ctrl+Tab) or I create a new image
Upon switching back to the first image I find the viewing position has changed to the very upper-left-hand corner of the image (ie, pixel location 0,0).
This forces me to scroll/navigate myself back to the original position of my image every time I toggle across multiple pictures.
It's very frustrating as there are times I am cutting down an image for a web design or photo edit and have to switch between multiple pictures very often throughout the process. It just wastes a lot time having to re-scroll to my original spot in the image. Anyone else out there had this issue?
- Tim

Let me guess. You're switching images by clicking on the filmstrip.
The badges are "active". Clicking one of them will do the action associated with that badge.
