Circular and oval cropping at set size and resolution?

I know how to use the M tool to create circles and ovals and i know you can set that to certain dimensions, but that doesn't do everything I need.
How do you crop circles and ovals out of a photo, at a set size (for example, a 1 inch circle ) at a set resolution for printing? What I need to do is crop circular and oval images out of a photo, say at 250 dpi, then paste them onto a blank white page for printing.
So if I've got let's say a photo that's 14x10 inches at 300dpi, I want to be able to go in, crop out an oval or circle, with as much or as little of the photo that I can or want to, setting that automatically to a certain dimension and dpi, then paste it into a blank white page I've already created at that same d
When finished I'd have maybe 20 or 30 images on a page that I can flatten all the layers and print.
I can't find a way to set size and resolution with anything other than the regular square crop tool.

You can make an action and use it as one step automation to achieve that on an initial selection.
Step by step instructions:
With the Elliptical Marquee Tool, make the desired selection on a image.
Open the Actions panel (Window > Actions (Alt+F9), from its menu at the top right or corresponding buttons at the bottom, choose New Action, and in the dialog that appears press the Record button.
From the Image menu, choose Crop.
From the Selection menu, choose Inverse (Ctrl+Shift+I)
Press the d key on your keyboard to reset the foreground/background color swatches.
Press Ctrl + Delete keys on your keyboard to fill with white.
From the Image menu, choose Image Size (Ctrl+Alt+I), make sure the Resample Image is checked, and in the Document Size section enter the desired dimensions and resolution and press OK.
In the Actions Panel press the Stop Recording button.
Now you can copy or drag the image to another image.
For the next image make the oval selection, go to the Actions panel, select the actions you created above, and press the play button. You can also create a keyboard shortcut in the action's property accessible by double clicking the action.
The creation of this action assumes that in the final image you will be composing oval images on white background without overlapping their rectangular bounding boxes. If you plan to overlap them then the action must be modified to make the image a transparent layer and delete outside the oval instead of filling with white.

Trying to setup my new ATV and it won't set date and time, and won't allow me to log in with my apple ID.

Trying to setup my new ATV and it won't set date and time, and won't allow me to log in with my apple ID to homeshare OR to test te network, which I know is correct since I changed it. I live in an apartment complex and the router is in my roommates room. ANY suggestions? I'm at the point where I may return this because it has been nothing but a hassle. I'm very annoyed and just want the product that I paid for to actually work.
The ABOUT section says Network Time: Skipped (reachable) and Activation: Failed (skipped)
I'm also using my MacBook Pro as the homesharing with iTunes up to date.

I had a similar issue wuth my new Apple TV. If you (or your roommate) are able to change the router firewall settings, do that first. I don't know the ports that you need, except that 123 is one of them (to set the time). Then restart the Apple TV. See if that will get you through the activation process. I actually ended up restoring mine to factory settings, but I'm not sure if that step was really necessary.
I understand your frustration, though. Getting the Apple TV to work was such a pain -- it almost feels like it is not really an Apple product.

Cropping at same size and with aligned images (and/or at scale)

hi all. i am hoping for a little help as i tune up my photoshop usage.
i am finding that i sometimes have a need to crop a couple of images from something like an architectural line drawing. this means that i have lines in this drawing and i am oftentimes in need - for instance if i have copied two floor plan with one above the other - of having these images sit in a frame that is the SAME SIZE.
i am also in the need of cropping so that the resulting images are ALIGNED - with for instance one line in one image at the same spot at the bottom and to the left with the same amount of bleed area around the image both at this point and at all other points.
is there a way to crop an image in two different spots at the SAME SIZE?
is there a way to crop a "sloppy" copy of two sets of images so that the canvas is the same size but the resulting set of images are aligned in the manner described above?
ALSO, is there some way for me to SCALE a set of images in Photoshop?
thanks in advance for any links, advice, expertise etcetera.
- jon

hi jjm.
i think i threw something in that should have been separated into antother posting. i am not so concerned about the scaling question.
i am more concerned about being able to get two separate sets of images - with for instance a line drawing - out of another drawing so that i have two images that when placed in a document will have the same size and the same amount of bleed area in white around it.
i guess in thinking about this - that i would just copy and paste each image to a new document, CROP as close to the image as possible and then ENLARGE THE CANVAS SIZE to whatever size i wanted. this would then meant that the image had almost the same placement in the canvas since i CROPPED the two images as close as possible and then enlarged to suit.
but this seems like it only would work for images with white backgrounds or single color backgrounds in a way somehow.
i mean, is there a way to place a COPY box on a very large image with a set of other images in it and Copy two sets of images to new documents so that they are the same size? or i mean a more accurate way to COPY information out of a document? what about making sure that an image is placed correctly in a CANVAS?
it seems like i would be asking for a tool that would let me select a point on the image and to tell photoshop to give me this image (or each image in this case) a CANVAS of some size or a CANVAS with some BORDER /around/ the rest of the image of some measurement.
is there anything like this? something more accurate for copying information so that i can repeat the copy and something more accurate for CUT or Canvas so that i can place an image in the final file more accurately?
i always sort of wing it with this and have to do Canvas sizes freehand or CUT the image close and then enlarge the canvas and this seems rather imprecise...
THANKS

Set size and location of a component

Hello,
Does anyone familiar with this org.netbeans.lib.awtexttra.AbsoluteConstraints(). I want to set the size and location of the component, and I know this org netbeans can provide this function.
getContentPane().add(chkTausta, new org.netbeans.lib.awtextra.AbsoluteConstraints(10, 120, -1, -1));
chkRakkennus.setSelected(true);
chkRakkennus.setText("Rakennukset");
then it comes an error that org.netbeans.lib.awtextra.AbsoluteConstraints()cannot be resolved. Does anyone know what�s the reason. Do I have to download other version of Java. I have Jre1.6.0?
Does anybody knows is there another way to set size of component. For example, if I use borderlayout, and put a button to the west, then how can I set the location and size of the button?
Thanks a lot for you help.
Clare

org.netbeans.lib.awtextra.AbsoluteConstraints isn't part of the JDK. I suggest you don't use that at all. Let a LayoutManager do the resizing.
Have a look at the [Layout tutorial|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/index.html] especially gridBagLayout

Opening Numbers and getting the same page size and location each time

Can someone help me with something which is pretty basic, please?
When I open a Numbers spreadsheet which I use frequently, each time it opens as a tiny box and always has to be resized and repositioned onscreen before I can start work.
I figure there must be something I can do to have it open in the same screen position and the same size each time, but what?

Hi Norman,
Your tags show OS X Mavericks 10.9. The latest version of Mavericks is 10.9.2
Are using Numbers 3.0 ? The lates version of Numbers is 3.1 and it does save the zoom.
Maybe this will help, but it does not work in Numbers 3.0
Numbers > Preferences > General > Default Zoom > 100% (or whatever % you want).
And Save your document before closing to retain the zoom and position.
The Numbers *window* size can not (yet) be saved, but the zoom and the position within a sheet can be saved in Numbers 3.1
Regards,
Ian.

I plug the Apple TV in and it just says setting date and time.

When I plug the Apple TV in it just starts up setting date and time. Tried unplugging it and resetting using the remote but it is unresponsive

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Also try restarting the router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

PHP and result sets: size and time

Hi
I'm tasked with debugging and "fixing" a PHP application which (someone else developed) is running slowly and "timing out", now that data is in there. I set about inserting some brief timing "debug" stuff within the code to attempt to determine where the rate limiting steps were happening. I found two areas in the code which were quite slow:
1) Query of the oracle database via a package, declaration of the procedure is:
procedure findAllSorted(sortMode in string, resultSet IN OUT types.cursortype);
2) looping on this and filling the array into objects
          while ($res = $result->FetchRow()) {
               // don't use $array[] = $this->load($res);, it throws an error
               $array[] = $this->doLoad($res);
My method timed the execution of both these steps:
1) Execution for oracle is:11.60035777092 Seconds
2) Execution for loop is:17.87319111824 Seconds
the amount of data that is returned by the fiindAllSorted() procedure is not what I'd call high, although that is part of my question here ... how much is a lot?
When I execute the procedure in PL/SQL Developer (and get all rows, not just the first 10) there are 1600 rows returned. When saved as a CSV file its about 260K of data ... I would not have thought this was problematic.
the other part of my question is (assuming people don't say "holy cow you're returning one thousand six hundred rows") how can I speed this part of the step up?

What values of oci8.default_prefetch or oci_set_prefetch() have you tried? See the discussion on p149 of The Underground PHP and Oracle Manual. I wonder if you are still using OCI8 1.2 with the lower default value.
Pre-fetching from REF CURSORS was first supported with Oracle 11gR2. You only need 11gR2 client libraries - pre-fetching from basic REF CURSORS will work when connected to older DB versions. See my blog post about Oracle Database 11gR2 Enhancements for PHP. New client libraries are available free from OTN. If you can't upgrade your Oracle Client libraries then perhaps you can refactor findAllSorted() and use pipelining. This is discussed on p172 of The Underground PHP and Oracle Manual.
Make sure your queries only select the columns you need.
Rasmus Lerdorf's recent talk http://talks.php.net/show/digg has some good overall PHP analysis and tuning tips.
To finish up, here is output from repeating a query with different prefetch values:
Time to fetch 1600 rows. Prefetch is 500 : Fetch time is: 0.085 seconds
Time to fetch 1600 rows. Prefetch is 100 : Fetch time is: 0.090 seconds
Time to fetch 1600 rows. Prefetch is 10 : Fetch time is: 0.144 seconds
Time to fetch 1600 rows. Prefetch is   0 : Fetch time is: 0.508 seconds

Unable to set size and scroll bar to table components in visual web jsf

Hi Friends,
Good day all of you,
my requirement is to display multible tables in the same jsp page with same size.
if some tables have more columns than other tables then that table need horizontal scroll bar...

Hi BalusC,
Good day,
we didn't use any CSS sheets.is there any other way to set.

How do I automatically make new front panels and block diagrams a certain size and screen position, like able to fit on a 1024 x 768 screen?

I'm studying for the CLD and I notice that one of the requirements is this:
Develop block diagrams to fit a screen resolution of 1024 x 768.
When I create a new VI, its resolution is slightly too big: 1110 x 768.
When I create a subVI via the menu item Edit >> Create SubVI, it is way too small: 800 x 543.
For both methods of creating new VIs, I would like to specify both the screen position and window size. But if that is not possible in LabVIEW, I'd like a quick way to make this happen. I see some property nodes for VIs where I could write a subVI that could do this for the front panel, but that is awkward. And it does not apply to block diagrams.
Is there a clever way to do these things?

It doesn't mean the default size of the window. It means once your code is complete, your block diagram should be small enough that you can see all your code when its on a monitor of that resolution. Before you test, set your computer monitor resolution to 1024x768. Write your code. If all the code on your block diagram can be seen without scrolling, you will be fine. They won't measure this explicitly. They are basically just saying "you shouldn't have a huge block diagram."

Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages? I just want to type a letter and add pictures and titles, and Pages keeps changing font sizes and doesn't let me "Do it my way". I HATE this!

Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages? I'm using a blank document, so I figured I could write my letter and add pictures any way I wanted to. But NO! Pages keeps changing the font size! I typed a large heading as a title, and when I try to change to a smaller font for the body of the letter, it changes the size back to the larger size! I am getting SO FRUSTRATED! I've spent over an hour trying to get the stupid program to let me just type my letter! Can anyone help?

The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".

Is there specific order to adding footer, watermark, ORC scan, security and optimization to get best size and quality results?

Does it matter what order that the following are done to a document? Are there any guidelines of best practices to know?
- Adding meta data
- ORC scan to searchable image
- Footer/Page Number
- Watermarks
- Save as optimized PDF
- Security
Is it possible the results would be different (files seize and quality) if the above steps are done id different orders.
The example I am thinking of is:
- If footer and watermark is done first, will ORC scan that content or give errors that some parts are already text ?
- If the file is first optimized using good quality image resampling, will that ruin the ORC results if optimization is done first?

Hello Scott,
I have a question about a weird behaviour of the gmaps rendering: When I navigate the first time to gmaps, everything is rendered correctly...but if I navigate back to homescreen and then again to gmap, the gmap is rendered in a very small area of the page on the left side...Why such a rendering issue?
Maybe you are aware of that. Thank you!
Best regards,

Adding Text above and below cropped picture

I have a picture I want to use for iron on transfers. I want to add text above and below the cropped image, and print out to a size that fits 8.5 X 11 injch transfer paper. I am having a problem with adding the text. I cant seem to be able to get it outside of the image. How do I do this?

Crop your picture.The crop tool allows you to set size and resolution. Go to Select>all, Edit>copy
Open new blank file. File>new>blank file. W=11", H=8.5". Resolution: as noted in step#1 Color:RGB Background::white
Go to Edit>paste. Your picture will be on its own layer
Access the move tool. Grab one of the corner handles and hold down the shift key on the keyboard, then make the picture smaller by dragging the corner towards the center, leaving room at top and bottom
Access Horizontal type tool and type your text at top, then on bottom. You can position text with move tool. Again text is on new layers.
Since you will be printing, it is desirable to have the resolution 240-300px/in.

APPLE TV 2 HD model and updated to latest version 6.1.1 since doing that it won't set date and time and tells me my Apple ID and password are incorrect and I know there not. What do I do?

It connects to internet fine. I have tried restoring back to factory condition and hard wire update by connecting it to my Mac mini .
The date and time won't set. And won't acknowledge my Apple ID and password......... I am usually tech savy but this has caused me grief .
Do I need to downgrade my update....
But can't get any menus until I log in my apple account...
It can't log into my iTunes account until time and date have been set.
When I did the hard wire restore connected to Mac mini it wouldn't go past the date and time screen as it wouldn't when I did the wifi update too.
it just would get past that screen.
Anyone help!!

This is the result of a network issue. Ensure port 123 on the router is open.

HT3180 My apple tv 3 keeps saying "setting date and time", but it's not connected to Internet, and I've restarted it for more then five minutes at a time. It also won't let me click menu to go back, but my apple tv light flashes. What do I do now?

I'm about to call, but this is my last chance. What can I do?

Aha! A bit more searching and I found the answer that just fixed it for me.
Press Menu and the Back arrow at the same time until a broken chain icon appears on the top left of the screen.
Let them go....
Press Menu and Right arrow (forward arrow) until a "fixed" or "whole" chain appears.
This enabled my apple tv to once again respond and get off the "setting time and date" screen.
Hope it works for you.
