Cropping images in 45 degrees

Hi forum,
I have a problem:
I've turned a few images on a 45 degree angle, but seeing that these images are fairly big, they now overlap each other on the facing pages set up.
It's a problem I cannot solve through layers, so:
How do I crop the images clean off without scaling them? Mind you, they are on an angle, so the transform-boxes are in an awkward position.
Thank you for your help!

Did you rotate the whole frame, or just the image inside? Either can work, but would affect how you crop.I think, from the description you rotated the frames.
Consider either undoing the rotation, then selecting the image with the direct select tool, and adding the rotation to the image only, or cut the entire image frame combination, then make a new frame with normal orientation, and "Paste into."

Ease of rotating and cropping images in CS6

There is much I like about the new crop: Rotating the image instead of the box is SO much easier and the straighten option is a great time saver.
But in one instance, I'm finding cropping in CS6 to be harder: Cropping images that are not correctly oriented in the first place. Rotating an image 90-degrees was a snap in CS2: Alt-I/E/0. The shortcut keys are gone in CS6, so using the rotation command is no longer quick.
But I can do it in the crop box, right? True -- but not easily. The image is landscape, the crop box is portrait. With the crop tool selected, holding the shift key down to get fixed-increment rotations doesn't work: Pressing the SHIFT key changes the cursor from rotation to the crop cursor. To get the rotation, I have to start rotating the image and then press SHIFT to get 15-degree increments. A few moments later, I have rotated the image into portrait orientation -- and the crop box is now centered on the image, but it is set to crop the middle. I have to drag the handles out to get approximately what I want: The full image in the crop box. (What I want is what I would get if I rotate the image with the Rotate command, then control-zero to fill the screen, and then select the crop tool.)
We rotate a lot of images. It's easy to do in CS2 and the two approaches I've found for CS6 are both awkward. The new crop tool has replaced the dual arrows in older versions (to swap the horizontal and vertical sizes) with a rotation arrow. I think you should restore the arrows (and their function) -- then use the rotate button to rotate the image, not the crop box. (Isn't that the design center for the new crop box? We're moving the image, not the crop box.)

Howard, thanks for the tip about the X key; didn't realize it worked that way when the crop tool is active. But in this case I had set the crop box dimenions, so the crop box starts out with the correct orientation. Having played with this for a day, I conclude that the best approach for this task is to restore the old keyboard conventions for image rotation and rotate the image before launching the crop tool.
I stand by my observation that the rotate key should affect the image, not the crop box because that is consistent with the new cropping paradigm: We rotate the image, not the crop box. I realize making a change this late in the development cycle is awkward -- but if CS6 ships with this behavior, it will become even harder to change later -- and the user interface should be as consistent as possible.
Noel, you are correct: The images are coming from scanned film. All frames get scanned with the same orientation. I want to avoid the "Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this. Doctor: Then don't do that!" scenario. Granted: If images are "correctly" oriented, this issue doesn't arise. But not all images are oriented correctly and CS6 should be at least as graceful in handling the task as previous versions.

How do I save a photo after I have zoomed in on it? I want to save the zoom-in as a new photo and can't work out why this doesn't work the same way saving a cropped image, or adjusted image does. Thank you.

How do I save an image after I have zoomed in on it? I can't work out why I can't save a zoom-in the same way
I can save a cropped image or an adjusted image. Thanks, Lily A.

Hi Matt, thanks for your reply. Have realised that Zoom in Iphoto is just a viewing tool and not an editing tool.
Was creating beautiful abstractions by zooming in and wanted to create a new image of the result. Have since discovered that cropping after zooming takes me a little way to where I want to go but it isn't the same effect. Will perhaps have to try to create it when actually shooting. Am doing a photoshop course in February and maybe will learn a bit more then, too. Am pretty much an amateur just finding my way.
Thanks again,
Best, Lily

Cropping Images with Clipping Masks | Learn Illustrator CS6 | Adobe TV

In this video you will learn a quick and easy method for cropping images in Adobe Illustrator CS6 and CS5. Using clipping masks allows you to retain the area of the image you cropped out as well as modify the clipping path later on.

Is there a way to make a clipping mask for a many-layered image without collapsing all the layers? I'd love to keep my image as is (it's quite complex), I just want to crop the entire thing.
thanks!

Cropping Images with Opacity Masks | Learn Illustrator CS6 | Adobe TV

In this video you will learn a versatile method for cropping images in Adobe Illustrator CS6 and CS5. Using opacity masks allows you to retain the area of the image you cropped out, modify the clipping path later, and use complex blending modes, transparencies, and knockout groups.
http://adobe.ly/V8tTZD

Firstly great tutorial.
Anyway I initially started a thread in the forums which lead me here regarding the use of opacity masks, I'm having real problems finding a solution to my specific problem.
I've got 2 issues I'm trying to solve, the first is how do I show just a portion an object above another even though it sits in a layer behind.
The second is I have an object with a linear gradient applied and I want to add yet another gradient just to a certain part of that object in order to make it fade out in a certain way.
I've spent hours pouring through the help topics but nothing seems to fit my exact problem, sorry for asking questions here but I'm really stumped and I think an opacity mask would do the trick, I'm just not sure how to execute it.
Thanks heaps.

Putting a border on a cropped image/video in FCE 3.5

Hello folks, my first post so be gentle.
Can anyone tell me how I can put a border on a cropped image or video clip in FCE 3.5?
At the mo if I want a border on a PIP I need to scale it down then make the border thicker, it meens the area that I want to see in detail (the PIP) is smaller than it is in the main window.
So cropping is the obvious solution but when I do the border gets cropped out too.
I could do it with miltiple layers but it seems a messy workaround.
Cheers

Please excuse me for horning in. Andy's instructions specify this plugin is for Final Cut Pro. Do you know if it is also good for Final Cut Express?

Images Rotated 90 Degrees on prints

i am having this issue with the Apple version of Adobe Illustrator CS3. We just got a new printer (Sharp MX-3501N) and it has a Fiery 2 print server on it. When i print illustrator documents to it, the first page comes out great. Comes out landscape on 11x17 paper. But if i tell it i want any more then just one print (2 or more copies) the first page comes out fine, each additional page comes out with the image rotated 90 degrees and is printed right off the page and leaves a blank space on the bottom of the page. Adobe is updated, MacOS (10.5) is updated, i have tried printing from other programs and everything else prints fine, and i have updated the drivers.
I am an authorized sharp service center and i talked to Sharp technician support about it and they said that because Adobe handles the print job from start to finish, there is likely a setting in illustrator that is messed up. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

I'm not sure if I understand your problem. If it uses a proper PS RIP, the rasterized version will be stored in it and it should initiate printing multiple copies, not the computer that sends over the PS/ PDF data. Are you sure you're not missing out on some silly check mark somewhere in teh printer driver? what you describe strikes me more as an "only print first page differently/ print cover sheet" option as you would use them in an office program. Is Illustrator actually set to handle the print job (which would be kinda pointless on a hardware RIP)? If so, you should get this odd behavior with other printer drivers as well (PDF document printer etc.) and then indeed it would be the program's fault...

Why are my cropped images not printing at the size I have cropped them to?!

Hey!
I know how to crop images to specific sizes using either the rectangular marquee or crop tool. However, I am needing to print a number of small images, so want to compile them into one document to save paper. Once the image is cropped, it shows up in 'image size' as being the required size, however, when I copy and paste it into another document in an attempt to arrange it on a page with other cropped images, the images come out at about half the specified size when I print them.
Is it to do with the view I am using, because it doesn't seem to matter whether I set it to 'print size' or 'actual pixels'?
I can't seem to find an answer to this, and I'm sure that I didn't have a problem with this when I was using photoshop more regularly a few years ago!

Hello,
You need to ake sure the target document and the source documents have the same"resolution", in other words the same PPI.
You could also use the Edit>Place command, which will respect the print dimensions of the source photo, but import it as a Smart Object.

Border on Cropped Image

I have a cropped image moving across the screen over a background. I know that I can add a drop shadow but can I add a color edge and how?

This will do what you want. Notice the border option.

URGENT HELP plz! crop image

I have an image
when loaded into my program, i have the getScaledInstance to about half of the size
and then i want to crop on that scaled image icon, how can i do that?
i tried the crop image filter, but it always need to getImage().getSource() which require the cooridnates of the original image (non scaled one)
i do not have the cooridnate of the original image, i just have the scaled image coordinate part for cropping. How can i crop?

Hey, here's some code:
          URL url = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("some_image.jpg");
          Image rawImage = ImageIO.read(url);
          Image bufferedImage = new BufferedImage(X, X, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
          // Perform your scaling here.
          bufferedImage.getGraphics().drawImage(rawImage, 0, 0, X, X, X);
          MediaTracker tracker = new MediaTracker(this);
          tracker.addImage(bufferedImage, 1);
          tracker.waitForID(1);
          Image cropImage = bufferedImage.getSubimage(X, X, X, X);Is this anymore useful to you?
Warm regards.

I need to crop image in TIFF format. what product i need to buy

i need to crop image in TIFF format. what product i need to buy

Photoshop should be able to handle cropping your TIFF file, possibly Photoshop Elements as well which would cost less. You should get the trial version to make sure rather than buying before trying.
You might also want to check if you already have something on your machine that can do it. On a PC you should be able to right click the image and choose "Open With" whereby a menu of programs should appear with programs that can open the file. You can check to see if any of those listed provide the cropping tool.
If you have further questions you should try posting in the Photoshop forum instead of here (http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop?view=discussions). This forum is primarly for questions about downloading and installing Adobe applications.

Why does my cropped image disappear?

After importing a jpeg file into my pages document, I have tried repeatedly to crop ("mask") the unwanted portions of the image. When I am finished applying the mask, I have double-clicked on the image--exactly as the "help" page instructs--and the image completely disappears, leaving only the masked portion. I have tried double-clicking on the image, on the mask, on an area outside of the image and mask, and on the "edit" symbol below the mask. Every time the image disappears. What am I doing wrong?

If you have masked it:
Menu > Format > Mask with Shape > Choose
don't you expect that the masked area is all that you will see when you are finished?
There are several selections in the masking:
1. The mask (Shape) itself, clicking on the mask handles you can size it
2. The image which may or may not extend outside the mask. Clicking outside the mask, you get a grabber hand and can drag the image around inside the mask or resize it from the images handles
3. The cropped image dragging on the corners or sides resizes the mask & the contents
Clicking away from the image, sets the last edit.
Possibly the image is very large and you are only seeing a tiny portion of it, say a corner.
Have you clicked on the little and big icons in the Edit bar to rescale it as necessary?

LR4 beta white balance on cropped images

I'm not sure if this has been discussed, I could not find a post with silimar issues.
LR4 Beta 64 on WinVista : Nex 5N raw files
WB picker on a cropped image seems to give variable (and wrong) results
I wanted to tweak WB an image that I'd previously cropped and made some adjustments to....WB was already close, the picker on a white fishing bouy was at ~90/88/91. Clicking the picker on bouy gave a strong red shift, about +5 on the red.
1st time I did it I thought I'd jerked the mouse somewhere, tried it again.. and again with similar results. Repeated several time.
I opened LR3 and had no problems with the same image.
I reopened LR4B and got the same problem again.
Undid the crop and the WB adjustment was fine.
I went back to LR3 and cropepd the same image the same way and WB was fine.
Went back to Lr4B and again, WB was off.
I reset the image so that it had no other adjustments. WB was OK but again when I cropped it it was off.
Opened another image and did the same thing. ie full image WB was OK, cropped I got a +5 or so shift, although this time in blue.
Tried it with a different crop and got a -15 on red.
WB zoom level was at max

Eric,
Take just about any photo and crop so all the sides are moved toward the middle. It isn't hard to find a point on the image where the white balance dropper looks like it's over a near-grey(and its numbers say near-grey), but when you click, the picture gets an extreme colour cast. And the point where you click doesn't go grey, either, but moves much farther from grey.
Here's the crop:
Here's what happens when the eyedropper is over the almost-grey snow:
Note what's happening in the Navigator preview. It's as if the eyedropper were over the yellow jacket, but the numbers on the loupe show grey.

How do I re-scale cropped images in Fianal Cut Express 4?

How do I re-scale cropped images to the correct aspect ratio in the sequence? I am in Final Cut Express 4. The manual says: 'Modify>Scale to sequence' but I do not see this command in the Modify drop-down menu. Does anyone know where this is located or how to to re-scale? Many thanks for any help.

I'm not quite sure exactly what the problem is and I am no expert.
However, if the photos are too small you can simply enlarge them to fit the frame.
To do this, select the clip in the timeline and open the Motion tab in the Viewer.
Drag the Scale slider along until the photo enlarges the correct amount. (If the picture does not enlarge, double click the clip)
If you have lots of photos which need exactly the same enlargement you can copy (Cmd C) the treated picture and then select all the others.
Go up to the Edit menu and select "Paste Attributes".
A window will open. Tick the "Basic Motion" box and all the selected pictures will be enlarged.
They will then need rendering.

Hi Franklin,
Can you plz give XAML code too?
And I need, the user select these {
newPoint(0,0),300,300) }
