Cropping and vignetting issues
I'm having issues when I crop, then try to apply vignetting. The vignetting effect is being applied to the original size image, causing an uneven vigneting effect. In other words, if my crop is the lower left portion of the image, the vignetting is dark in the lower left of the image but light in the upper right. How can I fix this? What am I doing wrong? At this point all I can do is crop in Photoshop first, then apply vignetting.
Vignetting is in the lens correction tab precisely because it is there to correct for lens vignetting. It can also be used in reverse to add vignetting to an image from a *lens*.
It is not designed to add vignetting to an *image*. There is presently no way to add vignetting after a crop. This is a commonly requested feature, but I suspect if it shows up, it will not be in the lens correction tab as at that point it is no longer a lens correction.

Hi,
I'd like to use a Vignette pre-set (or just the Vignette function), but I notice it creates the effect on the pre-cropeed image. In other words, let's say I crop an image, then apply vignette, how can I get LR to apply the effect to the cropped image and not the whole image?One way to do it is to do a crop and then do an export in Photoshop or another 3-rd party editor exporting a file with all LR adjustments applied. Now don't do anything with the file in the external editor. Simply close it and return to LR where you can apply a vignette to the newly created file that is simply a crop of the original. The vignette will be as you'd expect it.

Photo Books - Crop and Color Issues from Kodak Gallery
I've been spending a good amount of time creating photo books and ordering them from Kodak using the built-in online ordering feature.
I've noticed several items that I was curious if others have any experience perspective on.
1. Cropping. For a flexible full bleed photo book, the page as it is represented in PSE3 is substantially cropped when Kodak processes the book. The difference between the two is almost 1/2 on either side and 1/4 inch on on the top a bottom. (These are approximate numbers) Have others seen this? It would be nice to have a border in the software showing where the page will be cropped since the Kodak service and PSE3 are so tightly integrated.
2. The colors come seem to come off a bit dark as compared to prints I have ordered and the images are all very slightly pixelated as compared to prints. Nothing awful, but not what you would want for your best photos.
I am hoping to learn if others have seen these issues and learned to live with them or are the other photo book providers that could turn a pdf into a higher quality book?
Thank you for your assistance.

Cincinnati, OHI haven't used the Kodak Gallery for photo books. I have been tempted a time or two, but so far I have ordered my books through Mypublisher.com. The product is about the same. And I saw one of their books last Christmas and was impressed with it. In reading through the instructions from Mypublisher, they warn that there will be some cropping on full-bleed images and advise to be sure to allow for that. I have not run into the color or brightness difference that you mentioned. There are those who will disagree with me, but I read an article awhile back that indicated that most of the online photo processors as well as many of the one-hour minilabs standardize their equipment to the sRGB color space. So that is what I have used when preparing my books, and I have been very pleased with the results.
As far as your pages are concerned, you might try what I did in my last project. The pictures didn't fit any of the templates provided by the publisher, so I created my own pages in Photoshop. I positioned the pictures where I wanted them and added my own text. Then I just created my book using those pages. It turned out very nicely. I have distributed 75 copies of the album so far and everyone has really liked it.
Mypublisher.com provides software that you download and create your album on your computer. Then when you are ready to order there is a menu item that connects you to the Web site. The only problem is, this is a Windows service only. There is no support for the Mac. -
Video cropping and zooming issue
I'm new to this product and couldn't find my specific issue (or at least didn't recognize it).
I was using downloaded video to make a simple music video (to experiment with on the trial version). So I have the first clip in the sequence and then I add a second clip and after working with it for a few minutes notice that in the sequence viewer the video is enlarged and the sides are cropped so I'm only seeing an enlarged picture of the center. The zoom was still on fit though. I don't understand why the video was automatically zoomed and cropped by Premiere and when I delete the clip and put it back in it does the same.
Any insight?
The first clip in the video was a 640 x 360 While the second video was 1280 x 720 and both had square pixels (1.0)
They were however both WMVs.The fact that the Zoom level is set to Fit means that the view in the Program Monitor is zoomed to fit the panel, not that the clip is scaled to fit the sequence.
If your second clip is larger than the first, and you place the second clip into a sequence that is sized for the first, then you are naturally only going to see a piece (such as the cropped center in your case) unless you scale the second clip down. Or use a bigger sequence.
If you want the clip to automatically be scaled to fit the sequence, then you can turn on the Default Scale To Frame Size preference. (See this for a video explanation of that preference.)
In general, you scale with the Scale property of the Motion effect, not with the Zoom setting in the panel. -
I took some pictures of my family zip lining. I've cropped the pictures so that the zip liners fill most of the picture. They are a bit blurry when I do this. When I zoom in just a tad using iPhoto they come into focus. No matter how close I crop the photo, however, they are never in focus. Any ideas?
Of course, doing a tight crop on a telephoto action shot might not be the sharpest to begin with!
Remember the rule of thumb that the shutter speed should be 1/35-mm effective focal length, which might not be enough for action shots. (IS won't help you here!)
Cropping effectively increases the focal length which makes the problem worse. -
JPEG/PSD issue--I open a jpeg and edit it (levels, crop) and then "save as" and the save as option shows there are now levels in the image and it wants to save it as a .psd file or a copy with layers. What am I doing that has these settings appear?
16bit? Pixels extending beyond the canvas? (from a crop with delete unused pixels turn off). Have you previously been saving PSD files?
IME you sometimes have to tell Photoshop that the first save of a session is JPG, and it remembers from there on. The way to 'tell' Photoshop that JPG, or PDF, or PNG etc are now your preferred format is to Ctrl (Cmd) click on that format in the Save As drop down list. So long as the file does not have parameters that your chosen format does not support, then this should work for you.
[EDIT] Just noticed that you did include 'Crop' in the subject line. Do you have 'Delete cropped pixels' checked? -
Windows 8.1, PSE 11
I am having a number of issues including loss of import functionality from scanner, I can't drag and drop photos into the editor any more as well, or at least not after the first one. The crop function stops working after the first couple of photos. Then some freezing. A little added crashing. A plethora of other bizarre issues as well. This just stated happening a couple of days ago.
What I have tried:
Uninstall/Install.
Deleted preferences both before opening Editor (crontrol-alt-delete) and after opening it.
Kindly advise. Thanks!

OK! Check it, like I said in previous posts I seemed to have narrowed it down to specific mp3s not converting and playing in their native sample rate which if paired with another sample would give you the "audio midi sync" error and basically screw up your clock! It appears mp3 files converting to mp3 using iTunes would not convert to the correct sample rate if set to something other than 44 in logic and cause this. A tad peculiar Apple iTunes won't work with Apple Logic. I was able to confirm this on two mac's via my friend in Florida. He's running Tiger and tried the same experiment and Booya! Mickey Mouse! It appears this insane week long adventure has came to an end (...god willing) with a super specific unlucky shot in the dark on my part finally revealed to be an perfectly normal function of Logic (obviously one i'm not fond of..) As far as the errors / crashes / system overloads / kernal panics I think I can sort those out to the mackie onyx satellite not being a good choice and trying to add and remove firewire devices in the middle of the sample rate mayhem. Wow! all I can say is, I'm glad it's over
Wish me a lot of luck in the future.. I'm sure i'll need it! -
16 bit Tiff crop and straighten display issues
Still having the same old issues with 16 bit exports when crop and straighten have been applied to a file. Re import the n zoom or use loupe results in artifacts.
Anyone else??I've had this problem with images saved as 8-bit scans.
Are you using any compression in the TIFs? I scanned using Nikon Scan 4, cleaned up a bit in Photoshop 7, reduced the bit depth to 8-bit, and saved at TIFs with embedded colour profile using ZIP compression, Macintosh byte order.
This used to work with Aperture 1.5.6, but with Aperture 2.0 I see a kind of offset pattern, so a vertical line looks like this:
If export the master TIF, open it in Photoshop (where it looks normal) and save it with no compression Aperture displays it properly.
(I'm still using Tiger, so I don't think this is an OS issue.) -
3.2 image rendering issues when cropping and straightening
Upgraded to 3.2 - all works well so far but have noticed that the top 1/3rd of image disappears during the cropping and straightening processes in the viewer window, but only with portrait/vertically oriented images. Anyone else have that issue?
Still on Snow Leopard here and I just tried this. Sorry to report it worked OK for me. I tried both straightening then cropping and then the reverse. No problems.
Does it happen on all portrait images? Could you post a screen shot of the results?
There wasa report of something similar a while back. Here's the thread:
After straightening/cropping 1/2 or 3/4 of displayed image is blacked out! Don;t know how that turned out.

I'm having a MAJOR problem placing PDF files in InDesign CS4...
When I try to place a PDF that has been created in Distiller, the ONLY import options I can choose are CROP and MEDIA. I need it to crop to the TRIM, but that option is grayed out. The PDFs I'm trying to place were created in-house, and converted from Post Script files to PDFs using Distiller. We use PDF/X-1a equivalent settings when creating our PDFs.
If I export the file as a PDF and then try to place it into a CS4 file, I am able to select Trim as an option.
ALSO, if I open the Distiller PDF in Acrobat and then save it (without changing anything), I am able to select Trim as an option. A workaround I have found is to open all of the PDF files in Acrobat, save them to my desktop, and then save over the ones I need to place. Here's the problem with that: I work for a publishing company, and need to place hundreds of ads for each issue of our publications, and it adds a lot of time if I have to go and re-save everything just to be able to place all the ads.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I need to get this figured out so we can use CS4 for all of our publications again. -- We've gone back to using CS3 until I can get this figured out...
- ValerieSteve,
Thanks for the reply, but my PDFs all have trim boxes on them. If I try to place the same PDF in InDesign CS3, it gives me Trim as an option. Also, if I open the PDF and save a copy to my desktop, I am able to select Trim as an option when placing the PDF, and I didn't change anything about it.
I've been trying to see if it's something with the Print Preset settings I'm using, but I can't find anything that seems like it would affect how InDesign would read the Trim area of the PDF.
I've attached 2 PDF files. One that was created with Distiller, and one that was exported from InDesign CS4. The Distiller one doesn't show Trim as an option in CS4, but the exported one does.... but they started out as the same ad. Ugh! Help me please!

Not sure if this is a bug but it's frustrating! I'm using the
Mac version of Flash CS3. I set everything up correctly to crop a
video clip (dragging the sliders in the 'Crop and Resize' tab). I
then start the queue etc. The resulting flv has NOT cropped as I
specified?? I get strange sizes, distortions etc. This also happens
by direct import to the stage (embed or external).
Also I find that I need to check the 'Resize Video' check box
even if I don't want to resize the video to get Flash to import at
the correct size of the original! This renders the cropping tool
useless. Any ideas anyone?I've since done some tests. The issue appears to be related
to the source video and not the Flash Video Encoder, particularly
the compression format. I have a set of clips at the same size but
the compression formats are different (I checked the movie
properties in QuickTime). Sorenson versions seem to crop and resize
OK, but the DV format doesn't.
At least the Flash side of things are fine. -
HT201317 Photos (portrait orientation) are cropped and white sides are added. Why?
I have set up iCloud to sync the photos that I make with my iPhone (4S) to my iPad (3). To view my Photo Stream from my PC (Win7 prof SP1), I installed iCloud Control Panel for Windows (v1.1). This also enables me to add older photos to the Stream.
Landscape -orientation pictures are added without problem, but portrait orientation pictures are both cropped and have white sides added. This looks bad on my iPad. Is there some setting I could change to make the upload leave the format of the pictures alone?
I think I have seen this issue addressed before, but there was no solution with it. Any help appreciated, Regards, Dirk.I have had the same problem as this.
I recently went to Paris for a short break but was without wifi for the whole time. I took about 300 photos on my iPhone 4. When I returned to the UK (and wifi!) the photos did not sync with my iPad via photo stream. I made sure I had 100% battery, was plugged into the mains, was connected to wifi etc.. I posted on here and was told that they should have synced automatically. However, I had by then disabled and re-enabled photo stream on my iPhone (according to instructions I found elsewhere) and it seems that photo stream only syncs photos taken since it is enabled.
... So in a further attempt to get my photos from Paris onto my iPad I transferred them onto my windows laptop via cable, and put them into my "uploads" folder in my photo stream folder. This didn't work either until I uninstalled iCloud on my pc and reset photo stream on iCloud.com. The photos eventually began syncing and appearing on my iPad. The problems now are as follow:
1) The photos are not in the right order, and there is no way on iPad to sort them. Why in earth has this happened? Is there a way to sort them correctly? It's obviously frustrating to look through the photos in the wrong order, and even worse when trying to show them to friends and family! I can't work out which order they are now arranged in - its not in "file name" order or "date taken" order. Nonsensical!!
2) The portrait photos, as the original poster describes above, have all been cropped at the top and bottom and have horrible white borders at the sides where other photos taken on iPad/iPhone would have clean black spaces.
I've been back in the uk for 4 days now and been trying to sort this out on and off since then. It really is a pain. Does anyone know if there are ways to transfer the photos more easily and reliably between devices when photos stream fails, and if there are ways to rectify the 2 above issues? -
Help! crop and move curser distorted in Windows 7
I bought a new PC and was afflicted with Windows 7. The latest thing to hate is this issue with my Photoshop move and crop too.
The crop and move curser is distorted. Instead of the crop tool curser, it's 3 of them pixelated in a row, same with the move tool. It is the same with CS4 and CS2. I tried removing and reinstalling twice and no help. Anyone seen this?Also in addition to updating your video card driver, i've seen that happen when
the system dpi scaling is set higher than 96.
Check under Appearance and Personalization>Adjust Font Size and see what it's set to.

Crop and Mask in Adobe Premiere Elements 11
In Premiere Elements 11, when I add a mask to blur an area of the video, the cropping that I applied to remove a band at the top and at the bottom of the video does not work anymore ???
I tried to change the order of the applied effects but it does not change anything.
Any help appreciated.Flipper
I am not quite sure what I did the other day to get everything to fall into place. Today, nothing was as it was then That was the bad news. The good news (of sorts) was the intriguing revelations that evolved.
I followed your workflow to step 6. I think that you had a typo in that you had "two bottoms" but of no real consequence to the issue at hand.
Step 7 issue ("can't add Effects Mask") was a non issue if you clicked on the Timeline video prior to clicking on Clip Menu/Effects Mask/Apply.
When the Effects Mask is applied by clicking on that Apply, what looks like a duplicate of the Timeline Video 1 content appears on the track directly above the original on Video 1. At this point the previously cropped area in Video 1 content reappears, giving the impression that no cropping of the file was ever done.
1. It looks like what appears on Video 2 traces back to the original on the hard drive not the file that is below it on Video 1, except for the content of the Effects Mask area. More explanation on how I concluded that if necessary. Good enough explanation for the cropped areas getting filled in. But, there is more...
2. If you isolate (ungroup) the top from bottom components here, the top has Crop Panel, Fast Blur, et al in its Applied Effects Panel. Any additional cropping there crops only the Effects Mask. The bottom's Applied Effects Panel has just the routine Motion and Opacity Panel. If you look at the isolated top and bottom, the top presents with the Effects Mask shape with snapshot of area of original that it was supposed to be Effects Masking, and this snapshot is surrounded by black representintg transparency. The bottom presents as the original as seen in Project Assets.
3. If this all started out with the original dragged to the Timeline from Project Assets and then an effect such as the "New Blue Cartoonr Plus Elements" applied to the original, followed by Crop and Fast Blur, the same thing would happen. But in this set of circumstances, the "New Blue Cartoonr Plus Elements" panel would end up in the Applied Effects Panel for the top component along with Crop and Fast Blur.
Lots more to sort out, but for your specific situation, you might consider:
1. Video on Video 1.
2. Apply the Effects Mask for Fast Blur or your choice of Effect.
3. Right click what is the now linked top and bottom components of this task, and select Ungroup.
4. Drag the top to the right, out of the way for the moment.
5. Crop the Video 1 content.
6. Drag the top back into place above the Video 1 content.
7. Highlight both at the same time, right click the highlight, select Group OR leave ungrouped if want that way.
Please review and see if you confirm my exploration into this today.
Thanks.

Script : Crops and name one image
Hello there,
I'm completely new with scrip on photoshop.. I know there is a way to use one image for different crops and name them. There is no batch involve.
Which means :
-Click on the script, a croping open, crop it, got a message saying if the crop is okay, click okay, then a box open, you can choose a name and save, then it follows by two others similar crops.
Sorry, not easy to explain. Is that a plug or a script? or both?
I basically end up using one image for 4 different crops and names, with a file saving like ??_xx_xx_xx_?? (?? : the name I selected, xx : the name of the image)
How to code this, is anyone knows?

While program knowledge would enable you to create a fully automated process you can do what you want to do with an action without any programming. It can not be done without thinking and planing. While recording an action is extremely easy to do. Crafting an action like you described takes some knowledge, planning, skill and practice.
Adobe forums like this one is a good place to acquire missing knowledge. There are many here with a lot of knowledge that are willing to help other learn.
First the thread belongs in the Photoshop General Discussion forum this forum is for users interested in scripting. Scripting is use by a very small subset of Photoshop users with programming skills and is best outside the other main stream forum.
As I wrote I would have no problem crafting an action like you want. However if I do you learn very little and I think perhaps I just been used. If you have a problem recording the action you can ask how would some one do this or that. Then perhaps many would respond with how they woul do something. You and otheres would see how other do something. Some of the ways may be better the others. You can take your pick. The important to to me is knowledge is being learned and spread. Photoshop help and support is the pits one of the best Photoshop resources at you disposal are these Adobe forums.
Now I'm going to ask you a favor. Please start a new thread in the Photoshop General Discussion forum where you ask for help crafting the action you want. Start be describing the action you want in great detail. Also please read the text file in may crafting action package. They are written for the advance action creator short perhaps and cryptic but they detail some of the capability of the Actions Palette, contains some good guide lines to follow. Address the issue of document size a problem area many have problem with, It also provide some script written to be used within Actions so the action creator can record better action with some logic in them without the need programming the script.
