Creating a magazine from Photoshop Images and transferring them to InDesign

Hello,
I'm in the process of creating a magazine. I have already started created the pages including their layout in Photoshop. I have CS4 and I want to transfer those images to InDesign and also incorporate Flash to produce a web-base magazine. How do I transfer those Photoshop images (files) into InDesign and also incorporate Flash.
Attached are some finished pages so that you will have something to show me, in detail, on how this process is done, and/or IF, it can be done.

Hi, smitty212.
Hopefully everyone can agree to ignore some of the dialog above.
Your question is a bit difficult, in large part because it appears that you did a lot of work in a way that could be very difficult to transfer, but you haven't given us full information about what you really have and what you need.
Generally speaking, editable text in Photoshop is not very flexible. It's not easy to manage large amounts of text there, and depending on how you have used it, it may be nearly impossible to get the text out without retyping it.
The normal use of InDesign, as you've probably gathered by now, is to place the text in text frames (either by typing or by File > Place-ing it from another application, or maybe cut-and-paste but probably not), and to place graphics in graphics frames (again, with File > Place. Never with cut-and-paste, which causes all manner of problems).
Ideally, then, you'd have all the images in your layout as seperate files, and the text, too, and you could compose the layout as normal.
The hard part will be rescuing the text. You may be able to cut and paste it out of Photoshop.
It is possible that you might be able to save some work by converting pieces of the Photoshop layout to smart objects and placing those into InDesign.
One thing to consider is how resolution-independent your output is going to be. In Photoshop, everything is a pixel. So if the work was done at a low resolution, it won't support resizing in InDesign. This is especially true of text that has been rasterized (converted to pixels). But if everything was high enough resolution in Photoshop, you may be able to get away with just placing the Photoshop images in InDesign. It won't be easily editable, but maybe that's ok.
I hope this helps.

How do I sample color from a photoshop image and apply it to an Encore menu color sets

I'm about 3 months and many hours of tutorials into Premiere ProCC, Audition CC, and Encore CS6. Apparently the nifty dynamic links from PPro and Audition CS6 no longer work with encore, as encore was not upgraded to CC. So, I want to sample color from an original photoshop image, and create an Encore menu color set, so that my menu bttons, etc. are colored to match the main photo image in the menu. Is there an eyedropper kind of tool in Encore that would let me sample the color from the image, and then apply that to color swatches in the Encore button layers? If there is I can't find it! ~Thanks!

Strangely enough, I started a thread on this issue a few days ago in the Creative Cloud forum. I had to uninstall all my pre-CC adobe software to get the Application Manager in sync with the CC apps, so when I tried to use Encore, there it was gone. So I reinstalled PremPro CS6 just to get Encore back, but when I right clicked a menu in Encore, as asked to Edit in Photoshop, it threw up an error. The consensus was that Encore CS6 would know nothing about Photoshop CC, so after much time searching for a fix, my only option was to either reinstall Photoshop CS6, or do it manually.
I took the latter option using Windows 7 to search for the menu, and open/with Photoshop CC. Stan Jones, who is the Encore equivalent of our Noel, mentioned a brick-bat, but I just saved the edit file and dragged it into Encore, and it worked fine

How do I add video in my Photoshop images and graphics? I need it to play in Adobe Acrobat when I'm done.

I designed an electronic press kit and I need the video to play on it. I'm getting the video link from YouTube so I was wondering how to make that happen. I already tried putting the YouTube link behind the video layer so it can be clickable in Acrobat, but when I sent it to the online magazine forum there was a lot of lines in it. I saw this YouTube video on how to do it but it requires ImageReady TUTORIAL-Add video to your Photoshop images and graphics! - YouTube. I don't have the Photoshop to ImageReady button in my PS....HELP! How do I get this done?!?!?

That tutorial is extremely old. ImageReady was last used in CS2. In other words that program no longer exists.
Luckily video made its way into photoshop so you can easily import your video into photoshop.
Instead of an animation panel, it is now called the timeline panel. When the panel first opens it will ask you if you want an animation or a movie. Choosing movie will reduce the number of layers required down to just 2, one for the movie and one for the TV image. Since this is a timeline, you can split the timeline to remove any portion of the video you do not want or need to add an effect to that area of the timeline. Each time you split the video, it will move it to a new layer for you.
You can still export as an animated gif by using the File>Save As dialog box. or You can export as a movie and choose another video format. Which format and codec you can choose will depend on how many other video apps of Adobe's you also have installed.

How do I take an object from an image and save it so I can use it in other images?

I am trying to figure out how to take an object from an image and save it so I can re-use it again in other pictures? I know how to use the magic wand to select the object and place it in a blank image.... but I do not know how to re size the selected object or keep it for later use. Basically I would like to use the object the same way that I use the graphics ... so I guess I am wondering if there is a way that I can make my own graphics... I have Elements Photoshop 13. Thanks for any help/advice.... Jerrie

Hi Jerrie,
You can re-size using Transformation tool. Ctrl + T will give you a box to re-size the image or object.
You can save these object as PNG file with Transparent layer. You can use these objects later in another projects.

Is it possible to clone an object from one image and paste it on another image?

Is it possible to clone an object from one image and paste it on another image in Aperture?

As Frank said,
but Aperture has a nice clone tool - the drawback is, that it only works within one image.
What I sometimes do - as a workaroud, when I want to use the clone brush, is to combine the image I want to clone from and the image I want to clone into, into one single image by printing them together to pdf as jpeg. Then I can clone from the second to the first, for example, to be able to add an fairy to a flower: Picking up the head of the fairy in the right image and brushing it into the left one. Occasionally I prefer the Aperture brush to the Photoshop lasso.

Major Problem updating to Photoshop 2014 from Photoshop CC and Opening Lightroom

windows 7 64 bit
Updated from Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 to Photoshop 2014 and Lightroom 5.5. Now Cannot install and run Extension manager and extentions in Photoshop 2014 but continue to work in Photoshop CC. Lightroom 5.5 refuses to open but Lightroom 4.2 continues to function sort of.
Takes two double clicks to open Photoshop CC!
Been on to Adobe support team twice. Uninstalled Photoshop 2014 and Lightroom. Used CC app to update to Photoshop 2014 but now exactly the same problems exist as before
Help please!

Roger, it seems you are facing 2 separate issues, one with not being able to launch Lr 5.5 and other with not being able work with extensions in PS CC 2014.
So, here is what i would suggest:
For the Lightroom launch issue, follow the solutions mentioned under Lightroom does not launch or get error: "Develop module is disabled" after 5.5 update
And for the Extensions not available in PS CC 2014, check this out. Extensions and Extension Manager not available in Photoshop CC 2014
Also, check this for more details. http://blogs.adobe.com/photoshopdotcom/2014/04/photoshop-spring-cleaning.html

Creating pictures/posters from dvd images

Hi.
my mac is new so I still don't entirely know what I'm doing.
My friend created a dvd of me doing a few scenes for a promo reel (I'm an actor).
I would like to be able to take shots from the dvd and use it as pictures for head shots, self promotion, posters, etc.
How do I take still shots from the dvd and copy them or make them into pictures or make them into .jpg files?
I tried the screen shot method with shift-mac-3 but I just received a meesage that said "screen grabs are unavailable during dvd playback. Please quit dvd player first."
Please Help.
thanks in advance

The DVD Player application will not allow you to do screen captures with the usual key combinations. You can use a Terminal command, however.
Use DVD Player to play your DVD. Pause at the point you want to capture. Start Terminal (Utilities folder). Copy this command into Terminal:
screencapture -iW ~/Desktop/screen.png
and press return. You will see a camera icon; move it over the DVD Player window and click. The file screen.png will be created on your desktop.

Can you edit a person from one photo and add them to another photo?

Can you edit a person out of one photo and add them to another photo? Like if you need the head shot from one photo to replace closed eyes in the other photo? Thanks.

Thank you very much! Does this require software to be purchased? I'm new to Photoshop.

Subject: Re: Can you edit a person from one photo and add them to another photo?
Welcome to the forum.
Yes, this is done often. You will need to create a Mask of that person, to separate them from the background of the original Image.
I like to do this with a Layer Mask, as it offers control, and really does not alter the Image, so you can go back and make changes.
Let's say that you have Image 01 w/ the head of your subject, and want to place it into Image 02. In Image 01, make a rough Selection. I would include a bit of extra background, as we will take care of that in a moment. With that Selection active, Copy the head shot. Go to Image 02, and Paste it. It will Paste in its own Layer. Ctrl+T (Free Transform) can be used to Scale and also position that Layer with the head. Once you have that Scaled and positioned about where you want it, create a Layer Mask. In QuickMask Mode, just paint in the additional Mask to remove all traces of the background that came in with the head shot. As you can paint OUT, and also paint IN the Mask, you can work on this, as many times as you wish - even next year.
For getting that Layer Mask looking good, work slowly, also see this http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshop/l/blrbps_5agirl.htm.
I've got another tutorial, that addresses the hair area, and will post that, when I find my bookmark.

Retrieving data from an ArrayList and presenting them in a JSP

Dear Fellow Java Developers:
I am developing a catalogue site that would give the user the option of viewing items on a JSP page. The thing is, a user may request to view a certain item of which there are several varieties, for example "shirts". There may be 20 different varieties, and the catalogue page would present the 20 different shirts on the page. However, I want to give the user the option of either viewing all the shirts on a single page, or view a certain number at a time, and view the other shirts on a second or third JSP page.
See the following link as an example:
http://www.eddiebauer.com/eb/cat_default.asp?nv=2|21472|9&tid=&c=&sc=&cm_cg=&lp=n2f
I am able to retrieve the data from the database, and present all of them on a JSP, however I am not sure how to implement the functionality so that they can be viewed a certain number at a time. So if I want to present say 12 items on a page and the database resultset brings back 30 items, I should be able to present the first 12 items on page1, the next 12 items on page2, and the remaining 6 items on page3. How would I do this? Below is my scriplet code that I use to retrieve information from the ArrayList that I retrieve from my database and present them in their entirety on a single JSP page:
<table>
<tr>
<%String product=request.getParameter("item");
ArrayList list=aBean.getCatalogueData(product);
int j=0, n=2;
for(Iterator i=list.iterator(); i.hasNext(); j++){
if(j>n){
out.print("</tr><tr>");
j=0;
Integer id=(Integer)i.next();
String name=(String)i.next();
String productURL=(String)i.next();
out.print("a bunch of html with the above variables embedded inside")
%>
</tr>
</table>
where aBean is an instace of a JavaBean that retrieves the data from the Database.
I have two ideas, because each iteration of the for loop represents one row from the database, I was thinking of introducing another int variable k that would be used to count all the iterations in the for loop, thus knowing the exact number. Once we had that value, we would then be able to determine if it was greater than or less than or equal to the maximum number of items we wanted to present on the JSP page( in this case 12). Once we had that value would then pass that value along to the next page and the for loop in each subsequent JSP page would continue from where the previous JSP page left off. The other option, would be to create a new ArrayList for each JSP page, where each JSP page would have an ArrayList that held all the items that it would present and that was it. Which approach is best? And more importantly, how would I implement it?
Just wondering.
Thanks in advance to all that reply.
Sincerely;
Fayyaz

-You said to pass two parameters in the request,
"start", and "count". The initial values for "start"
would be zero, and the inital value for "count" would
be the number of rows in the resultSet from the
database, correct?Correct.
-I am a little fuzzy about the following block of code
you gave:
//Set start and count for next page
start += count; // If less than count left in array, send the number left to next next page
count = ((start*3)+(count*3) < list.size()) ? (count) : ((list.size() - (start*3))/3)
Could you explain the above block of code a little
further please?Okay, first, I was using the ternary operators (boolean) ? val_if_true : val_if_false;
This works like an if() else ; statement, where the expression before the ? represents the condition of the if statement, the result of the expression directly after the ? is returned if the condition is true, and the expression after the : is returned if the condition is false. These two statments below, one using the ternary ? : operators, and the other an if/else, do the same thing:
count = ((start*3)+(count*3) < list.size()) ? (count) : ((list.size() - (start*3))/3);
if ((start*3)+(count*3) < list.size()) count = count;
else count = ((list.size() - (start*3))/3);Now, why all the multiplying by 3s? Because you store three values in your list for each product, 1) the product ID, 2) the product Name, and 3) the product URL. So to look at the third item, we need to be looking at the 9th,10th, and 11th values in the list.
So I want to avoid an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds error from occuring if I try to access the List by an index greater than the size of the list. Since I am working with product numbers, and not the number of items stored in the list, I need to multiply by three, both the start and count, to make sure their sum does not exceed the value stored in the list. I test this with ((start*3)+(count*3) < list.size()) ?. It could have been done like: ((start + count) * 3 < list.size()) ?.
So if this is true, the next page can begin looking through the list at the correct start position and find the number of items we want to display without overstepping the end of the list. So we can leave count the way it is.
If this is false, then we want to change count so we will only traverse the number of products that are left in the list. To do this, we subtract where the next page is going to start looking in the list (start*3) from the total size of the list, and devide that by 3, to get the number of products left (which will be less then count. To do this, I used: ((list.size() - (start*3))/3), but I could have used: ((list.size()/3) - start).
Does this explain it enough? I don't think I used the best math in the original post, and the line might be better written as:
count = ((size + count)*3 < list.size()) ? (count) : ((list.size()/3) - start);All this math would be unnecessary if you made a ProductBean that stored the three values in it.
>
- You have the following code snippet:
//Get the string to display this same JSP, but with new start and count
String nextDisplayURL = encodeRedirectURL("thispage.jsp?start=" + start + "&count=" + count + "&item=" + product);
%>
<a href="<%=nextDisplayURL%>">Next Page</a>
How would you do a previous page URL? Also, I need to
place the "previous", "next" and the different page
number values at the top of the JSP page, as in the
following url:
http://www.eddiebauer.com/eb/cat_default.asp?nv=2|21472
9&tid=&c=&sc=&cm_cg=&lp=n2f
How do I do this? I figure this might be a problem
since I am processing the code in the middle of the
page, and then I need to have these variables right at
the top. Any suggestions?One way is to make new variable names, 'nextStart', 'previousStart', 'nextCount', 'previousCount'.
Calculate these at the top, based on start and count, but leave the ints you use for start and count unchanged. You may want to store the count in the session rather than pass it along, if this is the case. Then you just worry about the start, or page number (start would be (page number - 1) * count. This would be better because the count for the last page will be less than the count on other pages, If we put the count in session we will remember that for previous pages...
I think with the details I provided in this and previous post, you should be able to write the necessary code.
>
Thanks once again for all of your help, I really do
appreciate the time and effort.
Take care.

Fayyaz
