Convert a photo to a single line drawing

It seems I've seen this in one of the photoshop tips & tricks books but did not buy the book. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  • Converting multiline text string to single line

    How do I convert a multiline text string into a single line text string

    Hi Bart,
    what's a multiline text string?
    1) You have an array of string: simply use "string concatenate" to convert from array to scalar string.
    2) Your string contains CR and/or NL characters: use "Search/Replace..." for this string, replace all EndOfLine chars by space (or which char you may prefer)...

  • HELP - CONVERTING A JPEG IMAGE INTO A LINE DRAWING

    PLEEEASE HELP ME!!!
    sorry to be thick - im only a beginner   ---   is there any way to covert a jpeg image into like a line drawing where there is a block colour background and solid lines that make up the picture like you sometimes get in brochures - somthing different to just the effects that are availible in the filter gallery...
    thanks

    As far as I recall there's no magic/easy "convert to vector drawing" functionality in Photoshop, though there are some things you can do to help smooth rough edges (e.g., Filter - Noise - Median).  There are also some things you can do, if you want to get fancy, based on converting selections to paths, but that can get kind of involved and likely requires manual path editing afterward.
    I have heard there are some pretty decent vector conversion functions in other Adobe apps...  Adobe Illustrator, perhaps?  Someone who uses Illustrator may want to chime in here; I don't have that package.

  • Convert multiple row field to single line

    Firstly: Apologies I am not a developer and am learning how to use crystal by error and hardwork.. so I'm a little slow on the lingo and the uptake.
    I am creating a report that has under "details" a field {jobTests.testTypeName} this currently finds all tests associated with the job and lists them one under another. i.e
    (Job blah blah) Test1
                          Test3
                          Test7
                          Test9
    Job info (blah blah)  is displayed by a different field under the details tab, it is not associated.
    Then it repeats with the next job until all jobs under a PO are completed, then it moves to the next PO and continues
    To save space I need to list the Tests beside one another i.e Test1, Test 3, Test7, Test9.
    I haven't been able to work out how to do this at all.
    OR
    If it is possible can anyone tell me how to take the list of Tests that are output and enter them under an IF THEN statement...
    I can choose one TEST and rename (as shown below) but I need to be able to choose a group of specific tests i.e   If Test1 + Test3 + Test7 + Test9 Then display "Group 1"
    If {jobTests.testTypeName} = "TEST1" Then
       "T1"
    Else
       {jobTests.testTypeName}
    Thanks to anyone who can help. I hope my question makes sense.

    Hi Kathryn,
    If you haven't done so already, create a group on the Job. 
    In the Group Header for Job, create a formula like:
    WhilePrintingRecords;
    StringVar Tests := "";
    In the Detail section, create a formula like:
    WhilePrintingRecords;
    StringVar Tests;
    Tests := Tests & {jobTests.testTypeName} & " ";
    Create a third formula in the Group Footer for the Job like:
    WhilePrintingRecords;
    StringVar Tests;
    Here's what's happening.  The first formula is in the Group Header to define and initialize the variable called Tests.  The variable will be reset for each new Job otherwise you'd eventually get all the tests for all the jobs. 
    The second formula will create your string. 
    The last formula will display the string for each test. 
    Good luck,
    Brian

  • MessageTransformBean - SimplePlain2XML - Multiple records on a single line

    Hi,
    I am trying to convert multiple record from a single line to multipe rows in an XML message with the MessageTransformBean.
    If the record look like this it's working:
    RECORD1textETC
    RECORD2textETC
    But the incoming message are all on a single line:
    RECORD1textETCRECORD2textETC
    Is there a way to add a linefeed to my incoming message after X characters, or to tell the adapter to split by length instead of spliting on the end of line?
    Thanks,
    Martin

    I had to code a custom Module Adapter to do it.
    Here's the main part of the module adapter EOLConvertBean...
    Message msg = (Message) inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
    XMLPayload xmlpayload = msg.getDocument();
    byte[] content = xmlpayload.getContent();
    byte crlf = 0x0A; // end of line char
    int current = 0;  // current bytes read     
    ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    int lines = content.length / recordLen; // record len = insert EOL after X recordLen
    // TODO change for do while for 1x line record
    for (int i = 0; i <= lines; i++) {
         baos.write(content, current, recordLen);
         baos.write(crlf);
         current += recordLen;
    xmlpayload.setContent(baos.toByteArray());
    inputModuleData.setPrincipalData(msg);

  • I have a line (stroke, no fill) and an eps graphic. I'm trying to make a clipping mask of the single line art but all it does is cut the eps graphic instead of making a mask?

    I have an eps graphic and a single line drawing 2 pt wt. I'm trying to make a clipping mask of the line drawing. When I tried it all that happened was the eps graphic was cut in half. I did the exact steps from AdobeTV except the line drawing [pink camera.ai*@1200% (CMYK/Outline)] is an ai pen line drawing instead of a vector graphic and the other is [vector flower lillies.eps @ 100% (RGB/Preview)]. If you need more info on the graphics please tell me where to find it and I will send it.
    This is all because the eps graphic has a white background. I have tried everything I know including opening it in Photoshop and deleting the background and it always pastes with a white background. My thought was if I can't change the background then maybe I can make a clipping mask of the pink camera and just paste it in front.
    Please help this has been a thorn in my side for too long...

    please post a screen shot of the graphic(s) as it's hard to understand exactly what you are asking
    IF these are 'vector' graphics there should be no need for a clipping mask--also--if the .eps files are small (MB or KB) try posting one of those

  • Can aperture 3 convert a gray scale photo into a line drawing?

    can aperture 3 convert a gray scale photo into a line drawing?

    I have a B.F.A. degree in painting which educated me in the "history of art" with appreciation of the old masters. I agree with your statement that, "anyone mistaking photos converted to "line drawings, watercolors,or paintings" is simply ignorant" and that, "line art is to drawing what clip art is to painting."
    I appreciate your passion and love for keeping "visual creativity" true to its inherant nature. Expressing your views however, in regard to my question in this thread, is irrelevant to the question asked. I am not ignorant.  My question has nothing to do with the philosophy of art. You have no idea what project I have in mind for asking my original question. I suggest that perhaps you have chosen the wrong forum to express your views.  Sticking to the question asked, as the other participants have, has been most helpful to me and I appreciate their response.
    Thanks for your attention.

  • Converting a photo to a line drawing.

    Can iPhoto 6 convert a photo to a line drawing? If not can anyone suggest an inexpensive application that will do it? Thanks.

    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • Help me in Converting textarea msg to single line string

    Please help me in converting the textarea message with line breaks in to single line string. because i shud pass that to the Javascript which doesnot accept line breaks.
    <%
    StringBuffer text = new StringBuffer(request.getParameter("textarea1"));
    int loc = (new String(text)).indexOf('\n');
    while(loc > 0){
    text.replace(loc, loc+1, "<BR>");
    loc = (new String(text)).indexOf('\n');
    out.println(text);
    %>

    Hi,
    i did not understood your problem. javascript supports \n character processing. so you should not get any error. Do one thing write a javascript function, that replaces all \n with "". this will solve your problem
    funciton replaceNewLine(StringValue) {
    StringValue.replace('\n','') (check replace() syntax once)
    have fun!!

  • Converting strings with line feeds to a single line with identifying chars

    Hi, I dont want to re invent the wheel if there is something out there that does this already. I want to take some string with multiple
    line feeds and convert it to a single line. For example:
    "I want this string
    to be changed to
    a single line"
    to this...
    "I want this string\r\n to be changed tor\\n a single line"

    vsekvsek wrote:
    OK, Hope this will make better sense. So right now a I have a routine that loads files like below:
    "TEST\r\n TEST1\R\n TEST2"It's not clear to me at this point what you mean by that string.
    After the initial word TEST, does that string have a backslash character followed by an r followed by another backslash followed by an n? Or does it have a carriage return followed by a line feed. (\r followed by \n)
    We format it when loading in a way that it will look like this when queriing from the DB
    "TEST
    TEST1
    TEST2"It doesn't look like anything "when querying from the DB." That part doesn't make any sense.
    Either the string has a backslash followed by an r, in which case when you render in in a text editor or on a console it will look like a single line with a visible backslash character followed by an r, or it has a carriage return (\r) in which case it will look like multiple lines when rendered in a text editor or on a console.
    Later I re-extract it to a file from the DB and What confuses me is when I inspect the string it looks like this
    "TEST\r\n TEST1\R\n TEST2"How are you inspecting it? If it's in a debugger or similar tool, it's not uncommon for it to be showing a carriage return character (\r) as a visible backslash followed by an r, rather than interpreting it and rendering a new line. This is so that you can see exactly what characters are in there, rather than wondering about the specific whitespace.

    but it extracts to my file like
    "TEST
    TEST1
    TEST2"
    So I guess there are some hidden cr's or something messing it up that I need to manipulate but not sure how to apprach it?I still don't know what you're trying to do, or if you even have an actual problem with your data or are simply not understanding what you're seeing.

  • How can i convert a jpeg into a line drawing/sketch?

    Hey just wondering what is the best tool and is Illustrator the best program  - to convert a standard JPEG image into a line drawing?
    Someone please help! Thank you

    Try VectorMagic (Google will find it for you). You can use it for free a few times on the web, or  you can buy a license. You can control the level of detail and the number of colours to use, and it will write an AI file.
    (I have no affiliation, I just think it works well).

  • Converted single line text to multiple and want to have rich text editing in layout

    We had a text field in a site that was initially set as single line of text. We needed it to be bigger and also allow formatting. So I added the field into the page layout.
    Changing
    <SharePointWebControls:TextField id="habitat" FieldName="Habitat" runat="server"/>
    to
    <SharePointWebControls:NoteField id="habitat" FieldName="Habitat" runat="server"/>
    But it doesn't show any rich text editing options and displays the full html tags in the field.
    If I open the page in the edit properties screen instead, then the field displays as I want it with the rich text editing options available in the ribbon, and text showing as bolded instead of like this:
    <div>This is <strong>the </strong>habitat field.</div>
    This is a site using the 2010 Publishing template running in compatibility mode on a 2013 server.
    How can I get my page layout to behave the same way as the edit properties screen does?

    Hi,
    Here are two solutions for your reference:
    1. We can use the InputFormTextBox control to achieve it.
    <SharePoint:InputFormTextBox ID="habitat" RichText="true" RichTextMode="FullHtml" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="20"></SharePoint:InputFormTextBox>

    http://blog.mastykarz.nl/rich-text-editor-control-sharepoint-2010/
    2. We can use the RichHtmlField control to achieve it.
    <PublishingWebControls:RichHtmlField id="habitat" FieldName="Habitat" runat="server"/>

  • Dashes convert to single line

    Hello,
    On my iMac OS X 10.9.4, i am unable to create in TextEdit or Pages guitar tabs in the Courier font, like i did for years, by simply keeping my finger pressed on the dash key: all my dashes attach themselves together to form a continuous line as soon as i release the key! This behavior occurs in other typefaces—and in TextEdit in Plain Text as in Rich Text mode.
    This has never happened to me before—i may have some settings or preferences off somewhere, but i have not been able to sort my problem out from my System Preferences. As i have also Kotoeri, i tried out switching to the Romaji mode: same result. i even opened old tabs and copied-pasted the original tabs, but as soon as i start inserting more dashes, they turn into a single line too.
    I will be grateful to any fellow guitarist who will provide me with the solution, as i am clearly over my head with this! Thank you in advance.

    In Oracle 9 you can get rid of the regex functions and use traditional SUBSTR, INSTR and REPLACE:
    ABSOLUTELY NOT TESTED...
    SELECT col1,SUBSTR ( ','||col2||',', instr(','||col2||',',',',lvl)+1,instr(','||col2||',',',',lvl+1)-instr(','||col2||',',',',lvl)-1)
      FROM table_name,
           (SELECT LEVEL lvl
              FROM (SELECT MAX (LENGTH (REPLACE ( col2, ',',''))) mx
                      FROM table_name)
            CONNECT BY LEVEL <= mx + 1)
    WHERE lvl - 1 <= LENGTH (REPLACE ( col2, ',',''));Max
