Cropping and exporting photos

Just got a Kindle Fire HD and am wanting to export photos from my Photoshop Elements catalog onto it. (N.b. looks like I need a 2 stage process to export to local disk and then copy to KF since while KF shows up as a device in windows explorer it isn't recognized in the browse directories in the export menu).
All my photos are captured in 4:3 aspect ratio by my camera .... though I always use the 3x2 framing guide on its EVF so image I want should always be in middle. KF screen is 16:10 aspect ratio so simply exporting photos leaves black bars on either side of photos as it scales photo to fit all on screen - doesn't seem to be the "crop to fit" on the KF viewer.
Is their any automated way to get photoshop to export selected pictures to new files and crop to a specified aspect ratio at the same time?

Being able to 'crop' the sides of an image but not the top and bottom would really be a change in aspect ratio rather than a crop.
Look here [Working with Images|http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/#chapter=23%26sect ion=10%26hash=apple_ref:doc:uid:Aperture-UserManual-91292BKL-1017399] for all actions you can perform on an image on a book page.
Of course you could modify the image before adding it to the book also.

The trial version of Adobe photoshop 13 does not have the Crop And Straighten Photos option under file and automate....... all it has is "Fit Image"....... would really like to have that feature.... is it something they eliminated?

I am scanning in many old photos and there are several photos on one page.... I read about a feature that was suppose to be available under adobe photo shop elements 13 that would allow multiple cropping under the file, automate, Crop And Straighten Photos....... the only thing that displays on the version 13 that I have is "Fit Image"...... which doesn't help me...... have they removed this tool or do you have to crop and save one image at a time? Thanks for your help?

Crop And Straighten Photos - Changing parameters / Editing Script

Hi. I am currently using the Crop and Straighten Photos automation to crop scans of 10 to 12 maps that are scanned on a large flat bed scanner.
A lot of the plans have rough edges and aren't always completely square. Is it possible to allow a tolerance (eg. 5mm, or 20pixels etc) before cropping each image? I've tried editing a .jsx script that was submitted on this forum (the script was designed to crop more border from the image, as opposed to leaving more image) but this simply added a black border around my image as it enlarged the canvas side once the image had already been cropped.
Instead, I need the selection area to be increased prior to cropping.
Does anyone have an idea on whether I can get a script to do what I am looking for?
Furthermore, if two or more of the maps are joined at all by a hair or a frayed string of canvas from the map's backing then the Crop and Straighten Photos automation considers it to be one map and crops it as only one image. Is there a way of increasing this tolerance to make the cropping process more brutal so to speak?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Christoph.
I'd realised that once i made the post, and yes, the duplicate and flatten parts in the process are unnecessary, they have been removed. The action is set up now so that once it crops the individual images, it closes the main image down, and then saves and closes the individual images. It is setup to save and close 12 images (as this is the most there will ever be in my case), and I set the action to post errors to a log rather than halt, so if there are less than 12 files it will continue and just post an error in the file. It works really well now thanks!!
I then run an action that options each individual file and brings up the "save as" dialog. This is a chance to perform a QA on the image and to save it as the correct name on the plan.
However, the action is currently setup so that it creates a complete new image each time and closes the original. This is the only way I can make the "Save as" dialog point to the new destination as if I simply open and "save as" the original files, the default folder always resets back to the original folder where the cropped images are. I'll have to investigate other methods of opening and renaming the images to help speed this part of the process up.
Thanks so much for your effecient responses. They have been a great help!
Cheers.

Crop and Straighten Photos in CS6

I open a 8"x10" jpeg or any other photo then go over to FILE menu and drop down to AUTOMATE then over to CROP and STRAIGHTEN PHOTO,S
Now what happens is that three other copies appear copy ,copy 2 copy 3 .
My original is OK at 8"x10" followed by the copy being 5"X7" then copy2 is about 1/2"x2" and copy 3 is about 3/4"x3/4"
I think this is being caused by interaction with CS5 as the same happens there.
CS4 is all OK this not being affected.
Now in CS4 i can crop and straighten but in CS5 and CS6 nothing can be done.
Kip

OK, here's the scoop: the feature in File>automate>crop and straighten is designed for those who scan in several photos with white space between them. It will make it's best attempt at separating each photograph by looking for the white space around them. It will then crop each photo to the edges it determines and make each straight based on the detected edge.
It is not designed to straighten the image in a photo. If you run this on a photograph, it is looking really hard for white space and will make its best attempt to separate what it thinks are independent items or photos and save each to a file.
If you want to straighten an image, go to the ruler tool and draw a line and choose straighten layer to get a rotation only, or go to the crop tool and select straighten, and draw a line that you wish to be the horizontal. This one will crop also.
I hope that clears up the issue.

Scripting and Crop and Straighten photos

photoshop CS3 has this neat feature "Crop and Straighten photos" which is very helpful in cleaning up scanned images (remove the black border) but is there a way to turn it into an action ?
i would like to apply this against many images (lots of files) in an automated way but being new to scripts/actions, I haven't had much success since this command creates a copy of the original.
is there an action that will help me batch remove the black border from all my images either using this CS3 command or another. thanks

OK, I'm giving back: here's an adaptation of Paul's script that uses recursion to iterate through all subdirectories. (Note that I also changed the file name suffix to a "static" (non-sequenced) value, as well as the name of the output folder, since I am using this to process single-photo image files. The original lines are commented out.) To implement the recursion, I defined the "main" functionality in a function ("ProcessFiles") that calls itself when encountering a subfolder.
Here's the full script. Hope this helps someone!
===========================

// in that directory and all subdirectories by executing the "Crop and

Crop and Resize photo within the COD service in ESS

Anyway to crop and resize photo within the COD webdynpro java component in ESS?

No what i mean is how to allow the user to upload a photo using the COD service but also allow them to crop and resize the image as documented here:
[How to Add Image Crop and Resize Capabilities in Web-Based Applications|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/10ab79a4-1fc2-2b10-29bb-ef9ff6771e72]
The solution above does not use the webdynpro COD service in ESS, it is a portal component with embedded JavaScript which also only stores the photo on portal only (not the infotype in ECC). I guess I need to figure out how to add these javascript files to the webdynpro COD service in ESS. Although I don't think Webdynpro Java allows you to add javascript.

How do I finish editing a picture? I crop, and the photo still says it is being edited.

How do I get out of editing? I crop and size a photo and it has a belt around it saying it is still being edited. I need help.

Barbickfd
If your program is Photoshop Elements and not Premiere Elements, for your convenience, I am posting the link to the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum where you can post your Photoshop Elements 12 crop question.
Photoshop Elements
Without further details, I am guessing that the Elements Organizer 12 is involved. You may have decided to edit a photo represented in the Elements Organizer, opened it in the Editor, and, then after the crop there, did not close out of the Editor, and went back to the Elements Organizer.

How do I resize and export photos in Aperture without them becoming pixelateded

I'm having trouble resizing my photos and exporting them without the end result being an overly pixelated photo. This happens when I am resizing my photos to a 5 by 7 size.

Amanda,
Welcome to the user-supported Aperture discussion group.
In Aperture, you don't resize to a "print" size. You export to a specific pixel size.
So, what size are you actually exporting it as?
I believe both Terence and I suspect that you have a very low-res picture and you are telling Aperture to make it have more pixels. If you are intending to print the photos, there is really no difference in sending the original, low-res version to the printer versus having Aperture add pixels to your photo. Something, somewhere, will have to add pixels.

Cropping and saving photos 4x6

I cropped my photos (200 or so) using "none" as the constrain. I think in order to order the prints, I need to convert them to 4x6 photos. Two questions:
1, Is there a way to select a whole album of pictures and then, as a group, apply the 4x6 constrain? It seemed the only way I could do it was one by one.
2. After I did change them to the 4x6 contraint, the 4x6 sizing tool was centered. In many pictures, I wanted to drag the 4x6 to the left or right. Then I clicked crop and the picture seemed saved as a 4x6. However when I scrolled back to the picture I thought I had cropped 4x6 off center, it was back to being centered, and cutting off the heads and shoulders of people.
So how can I crop photos 4x6 but in an off center way and save these changes so they will print correctly?

I have Mac OS 10.7.5 and Photoshop CS5 Extended. I cropped both a jpeg and tif file/photo
and then saved it - save as and/or save - and the image disappeared. The only thing that was visible was the file title with .jpeg or.tif extension, and the gray box or outline that goes around the image, but also some of the images the thumbnail image was gone too - just a title was visible on the desktop screen where I saved it. Are these images gone? Where are they? Where did they go and how do I get them back? And why is my crop tool and save doing this and how do I fix it?
I was able to make other corrections like using Curves to photos and saved them with no problem. Just the crop tool does makes the images do this after or before I save it
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Saving cropped and edited photos that are different than originals

I have been cropping and editing some photos but when I save them as the edited version and compare to the original, they look the same. Do you have some suggestions?

Singtenor, welcome to the forum.
Try using the "Save As" option and naming the cropped, edited version with a new name.

Crop and export as tiff file

I could not find my answer anywhere here. I cropped a group of files using 4 x 6 setting. Then exported as tiff files. I expected the files to be 4 x6 but they were not. The exported files were the cropped area as expected but the file size is approx 8 x 12.
I would think if you exported cropped pictures the output would be the cropped size.
What am I missing?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

That what LR has is Aspect Ratios not crop size. To define a size with the crop ratio fill in the Constrain Pixel size dimensions in the Export Dialogue.
