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

  • Send HTML Email with Embedded Images and CSS

    Hi All,
    I have a html page. I want to send that html page(not with attachment) with all images and css. i search and try but I cant find a good solution. can any one help... plz..........
    Thank You.....

    If you want to send the html page and have it
    reference the images and css files on your web
    site, that's pretty easy. Just create a message
    with text/html content that is your html page.
    If you want to include all the images and css files
    in your message along with the html page, you'll
    need to create a multipart/related message and
    you'll need to change all the html to reference the
    images and css files using "cid:" references.

  • Align Image and Text Problem

    I have DW CS4 and Windows XP with plenty of memory and have used this method before to align text with an image.  I insert the image on the page and then type in the text beside the image that I want.  If the text is long, then the second line of text will wrap below the image.  I select the image so the properties show.  In the align box, I select how I want the text to align (Top for example).  What is happening is that the first line of text aligns as I want, but all the other text stays below the image. 
    I have tried selecting the alignment first then type the text in and results is the same.
    I am not sure what is causing this.   I have checked properties and unless I am missing something, there is nothing there to make this happen.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Use CSS floats and padding.  See demo below for details.

  • Logo with percent size compared with the image

    Hello everyone
    I want to ask if there is any way to make a script that place a logo AND the size of that logo has a specific percent size (lets say 10%)
    compared with the one of the two axis of the image (lets say according to the image height).
    This is because I use to crop and reframe my photos. At the end of the edit I run my logo batch and of course every logo has different size
    compared with the size of the photo…
    Thank you all

  • How to resize watermark to be the same size for vertical/horizontal images?

    I am using File -> Place menu to place my watermark onto the images. 
    No matter what I try so far, the absolute size of the watermark comes out different Portrait/Landscape images.
    Watermark is smaller on Portrait and larger on Landscape images.  I tried resizing writing in the number of pixels during the File->place command, but no luck.  Photoshop resizes the watermark based on the percentages, and I don't know why image orientation matters. 
    ideally I want my watermark to be the same size, and I can use absolute pixel dimensions if needed.  How do I do this?

    Hi Doug - What exactly are you trying to do? Is the third
    child being added dynamically, and you want it added above the
    first child? If so, you can use the addChildAt() method when adding
    the child to the container. addChildAt() takes an index and the
    child object is added at that index and all other children are
    reshuffled to maintain the ordering. IE:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="
    http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    layout="vertical">
    <mx:TitleWindow layout="vertical" id="tw">
    <mx:Button id="a" />
    <mx:Button id="b" click="go();"/>
    </mx:TitleWindow>
    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
    private function go():void
    var c:Button = new Button();
    c.label="new";
    tw.addChildAt(c, 0);
    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    </mx:Application>
    Does that help, or am I misinterpreting what you're trying to
    do?

  • 1st Generation AppleTv with red images and disconnecting

    Hello,
    My AppleTv has been working with absolutely no problems until today. I went to turn it on and the tv blinked from static to black every few seconds. I pushed the Menu button on my remote to see if it helped anything and I finally was able to see the AppleTv menu, but the images were blurry and with red pixels around them. This also blinked on and off the screen every few seconds.
    I turned it off, disconnected it and left it alone for 5 mins. Then I reconnected it and the issue is exactly the same.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Beca

    One of my original Apple Tvs suffered a similar fate - the menu graphics would freeze, not just movies - a restore back down to the very original software helped a little but that caused its own issues
    Definitely a Graphics issue with the unit itself, possibly related to heat build up. Cut my losses and bought a gen 2 model as a replacement.

  • Compressing (mpeg4?) a movie with static images and fades. Best settings?

    Hey there,
    I'm using compressor with Final Cut HD and a Powermacg5.
    I have a movie made mostly of static images (experimental piece with landscapes) and fades between them.
    Firstly, does anyone have any great tips for compressing a quicktime movie for the web (so probably mpeg 4) that works well with images that are mostly still? The mpeg4 setting with h264 are okay (ntsc image size, 30fps), but every so often there's sudden blocky-ness when there is a little bit of motion in the frame. Any ideas?
    Secondly, the images go really chunky when there is a slow dissolve between the images, any compression ideas there?
    I'll be experimenting myself but I thought it best to ask you guys first ... any tips?
    Thanks
    Richard

    Hi everyone
    Is it possible to compress a movie ( 83 minutes long
    ) for a Single DVD without any pixellations ?
    If so I need to know what is the best settings...
    I keep compressing with a bit rate about 6 and my dvd
    still looks bad (pixels on transitions and sometimes
    pauses).
    I don't know what I could have done wrong !!!
    I don't want to use double layer and I can't split my
    movie into 2 dvds.
    Can someone walk me through this step by step ?
    Many thanks
    I think it should be, the setting I always use are:
    Vide: 7.4Mbps, One pass, Motion Estimation: Best
    Audio:Dolby 2.0 Datarate 256 kbps.
    I have tried a lot of combos but this is the only settings I can get with no pixellations. I'm always happy with the result and its fast! You might need to knock back the data rate to make 83 mins fit.

  • Mail problem with embedded images and links

    Since Yosemite Apple Mail seems to have a problem with images that are used as a hyperlink to a website.
    While links are clickable with external loaded images work fine, links with embedded images just do not anything. Clicking on them selects them, a double-click opens the image in Preview.
    This works:
    <a href="https://www.google.de"><img src="https://www.google.de/images/srpr/logo11w.png" alt="Google Logo"></a>
    This does not work:
    <a href="https://www.google.de"><img src="cid:logo_google" alt="Google Logo"></a>
    Can you reproduce this problem?
    We tried it with OS X 10.10.1 and 10.10.2

    After a bit of digging around I think I have found the reason for the EO being called prior to the CO. In the parent page CO, there is a transaction commit (oapagecontext.getApplicationModule(oawebbean).getTransaction().commit();).
    Therefore, I assume that as my custom AM is a child of standard AM where the transaction is being commit, the child AM is sharing the same transaction/session and hence the EO being called.
    I am running into issues with moving the validation to the EO as the validation requires visibility of the VO values to calculate a total value. Therefore is there a way to ensure that my custom AM maintains a separate database session/transaction to the parent/standard AM? Is it possible to break the parent/child relationship?
    This way I assume that the commit issued by the parent page CO will not affect my custom AM/EO.
    Cheers.
    Jon.

  • HT204053 I want to change the apple ID for iCloud in my iPhone so that it's the same ID used with my iPad and Mac. When I go to settings and iCloud in the iPhone, it won't let me change the current apple ID - how can I do this?

    I'm hoping to sync iCal via my four apple devices through the iCloud.
    Unfortunately, I used two different Apple IDs when setting up the iCloud accounts on the devices.
    How can I change the Aplle ID associated with my iPhone so that it's the same one used for my iPad and desktop?
    When I go to settings and iCloud in the iPhone, the apple ID that appears is greyed-out and will not let me click on it to change it.
    Any suggestions?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the other ID.  When you delete the account it will prompt you about what to do with the iCloud data.  If you need to migrate it and merge it with the data in the new account choose Keep on My iDevice; then choose Merge to upload the data and merge it with the new account.  If your data is already in the other account and you don't need to migrate it to the other account, choose Delete from My iDevice.

  • Crash with still images and keyframes?

    Has anyone experienced a HARD crash on Premiere Pro CS6 (v6.0.2) mac when working with still images on the timeline & adding keyframes to add slight movement to those images?
    without adding keyframes, the images seem to sit happily in my sequence but as soon as I add keyframes, it crashes so hard I can't switch to another application, force quit, or anything except a hard restart.
    Premiere has been pretty damn solid for me since the latest update and since I went to 16GB RAM so this is surprising and frustrating.
    any advice will be appreciated.
    I'm on
