[CS3,AS] Head turner: Image rotated differently to rotated frame...

Is it possibile to get the x,y coordinates of each corner of a rotated frame?
... and of each corner of the bounds of the image contained within said frame?
Having difficulty with positioning when re-linking a rotated image in a differently rotated frame after editing in PS. Image seems to shift lightly to the right and down.
So far, close but cigar smoke absent.

You can get the values for the frame by getting "entire path of path 1 of" it. You might want to rotate the frame and contents so the image is unrotated, do your sums there, then undo to put it back.

JS CS3 flag duplicate images with scale and rotation differnce

I've been trying to cut down on the number of images a script I have would produce. The old script would look for links that are being used multiple times and then just version the link which is fine. What I am finding this that although a document may have one image linked 9 time 6 times out of the nine the image is scaled and rotated the same amount and the other 3 times the rotation and scaling also match. In this example the image only needs 2 versions the first as the original and the second with the scale and rotation of the image used 3 time let say.
So to the code:
The following code will work through the doc and create an array of the links as duplicates:
function LinkUsage(myLink) {
    var myLinkCounter = 0;
        for (var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDoc.links.length; myCounter++) {
        if (myLink.filePath == myDoc.links[myCounter].filePath) {
            myLinkCounter++;
    return myLinkCounter
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;var myNumLinks = [];
for ( var t = myDoc.links.length-1; t >= 0; t-- ){
    if(LinkUsage(myDoc.links[t])>1){
            myNumLinks.push(myDoc.links[t].id);
Is there a way to loop through the array and only flag the differnent scale and roatations. What I should get is that out of the multiple link uasage the image is only changed twice out of the 9 times used.
I was trying to loop through the array and then loop through it within the loop to compare the link but this does not work for obvious reasons.
for (var i=0 ; i <myNumLinks.length; i++){
    var valLink = myDoc.links.itemByID( myNumLinks[i]);
        if(valLink.parent.constructor.name == "Image"){
            for (var j=0 ; j<myNumLinks.length; j++){
                if(myDoc.links.itemByID( myNumLinks[j]).parent.constructor.name == "Image"){
                    if(valLink.parent.parent.images[0].rotationAngle != myDoc.links.itemByID( myNumLinks[j]).parent.parent.images[0].rotationAngle){
                        $.write(myNumLinks[i]+"\n");
Is what I am trying to do possible and if so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers, John.

I think I might be one step closer to getting this to work. I've been able to just capture the file path of the duplicates using:
//count the number of times the link is used
function LinkUsage(myLink) {
    var myLinkCounter = 0;
        for (var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDoc.links.length; myCounter++) {
        if (myLink.filePath == myDoc.links[myCounter].filePath) {
            myLinkCounter++;
    return myLinkCounter
//check if the filepath has been added to the array
function chkVal(val){
    var compCount = 0;
    for(var arr = 0; arr < myNumLinks.length; arr++){
        if(val == myNumLinks[arr] ){
        compCount++;
    if(compCount >=1){
        return false;
        }else{
            return true;
//check the links inthe doc
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myNumLinks = [];
for ( var t = myDoc.links.length-1; t >= 0; t-- ){
    if(LinkUsage(myDoc.links[t])>1){
        if(myNumLinks == 0){
            myNumLinks.push(myDoc.links[t].filePath);
            }else{
                if(chkVal(myDoc.links[t].filePath)){
                    myNumLinks.push(myDoc.links[t].filePath);
for (var i=0 ; i <myNumLinks.length; i++){
    $.write(myNumLinks[i]+"\n");

Odd head turn help for 2d animation.

I've been following online tutorials from lynda.com and I'm very new to AE. I wanted to animate my characters from my webcomic (Maybe NSFW) http://sotsog.net/archive/23-necronomicon/ and after reading up and experimenting with Flash it turns out AE would be a better fit.
The tutorials I'm following are incredibly helpful but the character used in the demonstration has some different replacement animations as well as a completely different mouth. For my characters the mouth is always at a side view and I don't mind a small blink or hole in the animation when going left to right but this has lead to some issues.
I'm at the point in the tutorials where I'm creating a master control where my head will continue to turn on the slider and allow me to easily change the mouths. Through the course I've already set up rotating head/eyes/mouth. At this point I'm removing each part that will use some sort of replacement animation from my "head" comp and putting them into a master control. So my blinks/mouth/head rotation should all be set in there. In the example the demo character's mouth moves from left to right in a fluid motion and used an expression with:
a=thisComplayer("head").timeRemap;
b=timeToFrames(a);
b*13.5.
This was for just moving the x-axis. Because my character is "flat" im not worried about y axis or scale at the moment.
My mouth does not move at a constand rate like the example.
Here I am at frame 0
Frame 10
Frame 20
On Frame 10 and 20 they are kinda in the same spot. my x/y positions read
146.5, 165.0
105.5, 167.7
102.5, 167.5
Again I'm not worried about the y axis
As you can see its not as simple as from left to right and i need three points in my expressions equation. I think the best way to describe it is frames 0-10 will have movement. I will have the animation expression linked to my head turn time remap so it just keeps turning although I would like it to stay stagnant at frames 10-20.
Now to make matters worse I would also like to flip/or reflect my mouth between frames 1 and 10. Hopefully since they are already all within the mouth comp all my replacement mouths for animation will also be flipped when the head is turned in that manner. If I can set up an animation expression on frame 3 to flip i think that would work out but again im having trouble finding the right formula. Also I'm sure I'll need to change my keyframe interpulation to Hold in that instance as well so it just quickly jumps to the reflected mouth.
The course I'm taking does not cover this and I'm having trouble finding a solution through search engines. Any help would be much appreciated.

I may have worded this weird. My hierachy does not seem to be an issue, I have my entire character rigged aside from this one complication. I've been flipping my mouth in my mouth comp by unlinking my scale and putting it into the negatives with a hold on my keyframe interpulation. I seem to have fixed that issue but now im just trying to get this mouth comp to follow my head turn. I've linked my mouth comp to the heads timeremap so I get those 20 frames of movement. I just want it to stay still for a few of them. Are you sure theres no way to set an absolute number or once i hit frame x to stop x-axis animation? My frames 0-10 of x-axis movement works just fine and at the speed I like with.
b=timeToFrames(a);
b*4.
I placed my mouths where I would like them positioned on my time line and recorded for frames 0, 10, and 20. These read 146.5, 105.5, 105.5. (this is only x-axis and unlike my original post I'm just going to leave frame 20 the same as frame 10. frame 20 was originally 102.5 in my first post but thats a very slight movement thats unessesary.)
Now I just need it to stay still between frames 10-20. I would think this could only be solved in my expressions. I just can't figure out a forumla that would work.
Thank you for the link but this did not solve my issue.

Slicing image on different angle and exporting to Dreamweaver ?

Hi!
I think I searched entire web and didn't find the answer.. Is it possible to slice image on different angle not just rectangle ? On images below you can see the section that I'm trying to make a slice and slowly I'm loosing hope because I think It's not possible ? (and why the h3II is not?? :-) ) It would be little confusing for Dreamweaver when I would try to import that image then, because it's not the "right" shape but.. I'm trying to make a rollover image but I want just a small part of image to rollover to another image that is not the "right" shape... I hope I didnt complicate to much and explaind well what I'm trying to do, you can see the 2 images below for example what I'm trying to do.
Crop tool allows me to spin rectangle done with it, but still cant use that in Dreamweaver, it rotates the image back at right angle.
If its not possible with photoshop or dreamweaver, what software is capable of doing it and that i could inport to dreamweaver then ?
Would be grateful for any tips or link or whatever just not stopping on none-rollover image.
(i want that to apear when going over with pointer - on wall exactly)

If you want to change image transparency on mouse over, you can do this with CSS opacity and proprietary MS filters.
CSS code:
a img {border:none}
img a:link {
/**for non-IE browsers**/
opacity: 0.5;
/**for IE8**/
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=50)
/**for IE6,7**/
filter:alpha(opacity=50);
img a:hover,
img a:active,
img a:focus {
opacity: 10;
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=100)
filter:alpha(opacity=100)

WPF: How to make Tab Header to show three different icons?

Our WPF application needs Tab header to show three different icons and Foreground.
If tab is not selected, show one icon and black foreground. If tab is selected, show another icon and white foreground. If tab is selected and also require show Chromestyle, show third icon and red foreground.
we have tried the following code. However, MultiDataTrigger section does not work.
<TabItem x:Name="tabItemSetup" Header="Setup">
<TabItem.HeaderTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<Image x:Name="imgSetup" Height="50" Width="65" Source="Resources/Images/UNSELECTED_Setup Icon.png" DockPanel.Dock="Top" />
<TextBlock x:Name="txtSetup" Text="{Binding}" Foreground="Black" Style="{StaticResource TabTextStyle}" DockPanel.Dock="Bottom" FontFamily="Eras ITC" FontSize="13.333"/>
</StackPanel>
<DataTemplate.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsSelected, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type TabItem}}}" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="txtSetup" Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter TargetName="imgSetup" Property="Source" Value="Resources/Images/SELECTED_Setup Icon.png"/>
</DataTrigger>
<MultiDataTrigger>
<MultiDataTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Binding="{Binding IsChromeStyle}" Value="True"/>
<Condition Binding="{Binding IsSelected, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type TabItem}}}" Value="True"/>
</MultiDataTrigger.Conditions>
<MultiDataTrigger.Setters>
<Setter TargetName="txtSetup" Property="Foreground" Value="Red"/>
<Setter TargetName="imgSetup" Property="Source" Value="Resources/Images/Chrome SELECTED_Setup Icon.png"/>
</MultiDataTrigger.Setters>
</MultiDataTrigger>
</DataTemplate.Triggers>
</DataTemplate>
</TabItem.HeaderTemplate>
</TabItem>
Does anyone know how to make it work? Thx!
JaneC

Where is the IsChromeStyle property defined? It is the Header, i.e. the string "Setup" that is the DataContext of the HeaderTemplate and the a string has no property called IsChromeStyle so you must specify a source for the binding.
If for example the DataContext object of the TabControl, or the parent of the TabControl (for example the window or whatever) has a property called IsChromeStyle you could bind to this one using a RelativeSource:
<MultiDataTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Binding="{Binding DataContext.IsChromeStyle, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type TabControl}}}" Value="True"/>
<Condition Binding="{Binding IsSelected, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type TabItem}}}" Value="True"/>
</MultiDataTrigger.Conditions>
Then it should work. It is the binding that fails.

Screen images won't rotate when I rotate phone

Screen images won't rotate when I rotate phone

It depends on what image you are referring to. Not everything will rotate on the phone, the home screen being one of them. Check to see if Orientation lock is on, it will display a small lock and circular symbol near the battery icon. It is controlled in Control Center. Swipe upwards from the bottom of the screen and Orientation lock is the icon on the far right side of the top row. Tap to turn on or off, white is on, black is off.

PS CS5 Image Display Differs From Used ICC Profile In Win 7

Hi,
on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 machine, I just calibrated my Dell SP2309W monitor using an i1DisplayPro and basICColor 5, creating a ICC v2 profile (I am aware of the problems under Windows with ICC v4 profiles).
It created the ICC profile and applied it to be used by Windows. I double checked under COLOR MANAGEMENT that the new ICC profile is being used. Although I can see that the new ICC is being used (desktop appearance changes), there are a few issues I am experiencing:
(1.) Windows Photo Viewer
The thumbnails in Windpows Explorer look fine (they DO use the new ICC profile), when I double click a jpeg and open the image it DOES NOT use the new ICC profile. When I click the PLAY SLIDESHOW button (starting the slideshow) in the opened image in Windows Photo Viewer, the images DO use the new ICC profile.
(2.) Internet Browsers
All current internet browser (Firefox, IE, Safari and Chrome) DO use the new ICC profile and display the image correctly.
(3.) Photoshop CS 5
When I open the same image - that Windows Photo Viewer does not correctly displays (according to the new ICC profile) - in Photoshop CS5, I get the same image display that Windows Photo Viewer gives me (when not thumbnail or not in slideshow mode) - it appears to be the sRGB display.
My color settings in PS CS5 are: North America General Purpose 2 > sRGB IEC 61966-2.1.
When I go to View > Proof Setup > Monitor RGB I get the image display using the new ICC profile.
Why does the image look different in PS than my calibrated monitor should output ?
I was under the impression (please correct me if I am wrong), that the sole purpose for calibrating my monitor was to get a uniform display across (ICC aware) applications. Even when one applies different color spaces to a document in PS, I thought the output on my calibrated screen done by the graphic card should always be according to my calibration and the settings in the ICC profile being used.
What Am I doing wrong or what am I misunderstanding ?
Any help or input is appreciated !
Thanks.

Hello,
A note on monitor calibration: calibrating your monitor will not guarentee that every application will display color correctly, it's more of a step along the pipeline, and for the preview part of a color workflow it's the last step. Here's how color translation follows for an ICC workflow when previewing to a monitor:
Image Color Numbers > Document Tag or Workspace Profile > Monitor Profile
For non-color managed applications, if the original document is or isn't tagged with a color profile it will be translated directly to the monitor profile anyway. This is the equivalent in Photoshop of selecting "Monitor" in soft proofing. Selecting monitor in softproofing will bypass the tagged or workspace profile to translate colors directly through the monitor profile.
For most automatic color managed applications (like Firefox), the image will be translated through the tagged profile and then sent through the monitor profile. If the image is untagged or the profile is unrecognized, the colors get sent directly to the monitor profile.
For Photoshop, a tagged document will have its profile respected and then sent to the monitor. An untagged document will be assigned the workspace profile, which acts like a temporary document profile, and then gets sent to the monitor. This is often why users will notice Photoshop behaves differently from other applications. It's usually a case of the workspace coming into play. By default the workspace profile is set to sRGB. You can change this in Edit > Color Settings.
The purpose of the workspace is originally for printing workflows, as a way of keeping consistant color translations when dealing with both tagged and untagged documents. For web output workflows it can be useful for viewing everything through sRGB, which is typical of the average monitor output (not so with newer wide-gamut monitors, another source of confusion...) combined with the fact that originally most web browsers were not color managed. Hence viewing everything through sRGB is pretty close to what most monitors see and what untagged/unmanaged docs will look like.
Monitor calibration is useful only because it brings your monitor output to a "known state". In traditional workflows the monitor was always a middle-man, a preview device which was useful for getting an idea of what the printed output would look like before you print it. Since print colorspaces are often smaller than display spaces, it's feasible and useful to narrow down the monitor/display space and calibrate it to a known state, so that even if it doesn't totally match the print, you'll get used to its differences/limitations and they'll be consistent so long as the calibration is maintained.
For web output, your final output is often another user's computer monitor, which can have any form of behavior (most standard monitors are pretty close to sRGB, or use sRGB as an operating system workspace (default monitor profile). Wide gamuts behave differently, but I'm not sure if there's a particular ICC space that they closely match, or if different wide-gamuts are even that close to each other in their display color spaces.
Hope this helps!

How can i export a series of images in different aspect ratios to the same height

How can i export a series of images in different aspect ratios to the same height?
I wish to make a slider callery for my website. all the images need to be 750 Pixels high, the width does not matter. I have a mixture of square pandscap and protraite images can i do thing as one export or do i have to do it twice? Once for long edge and once for shot edge?
Thanks

Yes, you can but there is a trick to it.
In the Export Dialog under <Image Sizing> select Widdth & Height.
Then enter 750 pixels for Height.
Put your cursor into the Width field behind all the numbers that appear there and with the backspace key delete the numbers. If you enter "0" it will not accept that. But it accepts when you just delete the field for Width with the backspace key. The Width field will now be just blank.
When you then export all image will have a height of 750 pixels and the width will fall variously according to thne height / width ratio.
Or alternatively you can enter 7.5" for height at a resolution of 100 ppi.

How to Watermark multiple images with different dimensions in Photoshop ?

Is there any way that I can place a watermark on the right bottom of multiple images, no matter what dimension the images are? I have tried using Photoshop Scripts > image processor, but it works only for images of same dimension. I want to put watermark on multiple images of different dimensions. This is the output i got.
For the first image the watermark got placed correctly, but for the second image watermark got distracted. As you can clearly see the dimensions are different. Please suggest me some solution.

Open an image to watermark. We must have this open before we start recording an action or else it will keep opening this image and watermarking it over and over again.
In Photoshop go to Windows >> Actions
At the bottom of the Actions Palette you will see a little folder icon, click on it and create a new folder to hold you action in.
Once you have a folder to hold your action we need to hit the Create New Action button (next to the new folder Icon we just used.)
Give our new action a name and set a function key (if required.)
If the record button is not already depressed which it should be by default, hit it now to start recording our action. (located near the folder icon again but this time to the left)
Now that our action is recording go to File >> Place
When the dialog box comes up navigate to your previously created watermark file.
Hit the Place button
Position the watermark as you would normally have it (default is dead center) and hit enter.
Go to File >> Save as,navigate to where you want your watermarked images to finish up and hit save. DO NOT CHANGE THE FILE NAME if you do when you play the batch it will name all the files it saves the same over-writing each other.
Close the image we just watermarked.
when a save dialog comes up do not save the image.
On the Actions Palette hit stop recording.
Our Action is now recorded.
To process an entire folder of images we go to File >> Automate >> Batch
Select the folder in which your images are currently
Select the folder you wish to save the watermarked copies too.
Hit OK
Photoshop is now watermarking all the Images in the selected folder for you.

2) Fix your sticky keyboard for the '?' and '.' keys. Only one of those characters is generally needed to denote a question or the end of a sentence. Two or more often denotes a dweeb.

LR won't synch same images in different folder

I need to keep multiple copies of the same images in different folders (to track submissions to different agencies) but LR seems very erratic at synching pictures it thinks already exist in the catalogue - some of the duplicates show up, others not, but it seems impossible to get all folders to synch properly. Is there any way around this?

Yes, I remember, David. Glad it's still working.
Assuming the current workflow, I reckon the answer is going to lie in establishing which files are omitted. If filenames don't match any files already in the catalogue, I'd expect all to arrive safely. But if a jpg's name matches an existing file (ignoring the extensions) then there might be a clash. One area is Edit > Preferences > Import where you may want to try ticking Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate. But see if you can establish the pattern of what gets imported and what's not.
A pure Lightroom solution would be not to keep all these files. So you would have the master image (a raw or a worked tif), and then create virtual copies for each of the uses that you want to track - right click a thumbnail and Create Virtual Copy. Each VC has a copy name, which I'd suggest setting (Metadata panel) to the usage, Getty, Alamy etc. When you need to send it to the agency, get the VC and export at the size and format required, send the exported file, but don't keep a real file copy - the VC could suffice. I put this more for you to think over.

Gray scale photos images are different but should be the same; help?

I send a gray scale image from Lightroom (Edit with ...) and it opened CS4 photoshop.
I made a blank document , 11x14".
I used Windows/arrange/ tile to view the blank and the gray scale image. I tired various methods of bringing the gray scale image to the blank one (move tool, select all and move, copy and paste). Each time, I did this within seconds of each other (I made no changes to fill, opacity, and I used Normal). I brought the image in twice so I could print out the SAME image twice on the larger 11x14 at Sams club in order to use the Epson 7800 printer and not the old wet process on the Fugi machine. One image is darker(lighter) than the other every time. I even tried another image and I got two different exposures.
I wonder if it it only happens with the grayscale images? Perhaps it is a problem coming from Lightroom 2.5?
I did a three image 16x20 and I didn't notice the difference - partly because they were three differenct images in color. I will try two color images from the same file tomorrow.
Any thoughts? I haven't found a possible setting problem that would have been applied between the operations.

Paulo,
Thanks. I was ready to believe the monitor idea but I still have some reservations.
I don't doubt what you said about the pixels (sounds correct to me).
Why?
I tried another monitor and the images I attached also look like the top one is darker (vertically).
Also, the same is true if I scrolled the images. It seems to me that I should see a difference as I slowly scroll the image vertically. I didn't see a difference.
Read on please.
At any rate (I long for a CRT - my 21" crapped out last year), I am using two SAMSUNG screens, the
one attached to the main computer is the Syncmaster T220 - a well rated
monitor; as far as I knew , read and had friends who recommended them.
The other I just tried is attached to the second computer a couple of feet away. It is the syncMaster T240HD.
So, if it is an LCD monitor problem, it is with both and the same
company. I would think I would have read some bad reports about these
LCDs?
Also, wouldn't the color images also be different when presented the same way? (they aren't).
However, I went back to the original T220 LCD display and moved an image in to a blank one as before, then did the control J to copy the layer, and the images we different again. But, I zoomed in more than usual and scrolled the images and they were lighter at the bottom of the screen and darker at the top of the screen!!!!!!
That is good news and bad news! $$$$$$
If it is the monitor problem, then both images should print as the same.????
Secondly, the display (LCD) attached to the machine at Sams showed the same difference between the two images. AND, I recall that the display is also a Samsung (I will check that tomorrow).
What a bunch of coincidences! I guess I have to search the web for some Samsung answers? and contact the company?
I want to explore as much on my end as possible.
Hunt and another suggested the Control-J to avoid the problem by copying the layer. That didn't work either.
I suppose I could tweak one of the images after bringing them in but I don't know how (I clicked the layer and I wasn't able to do anything - like lighten that image).
Again, thanks for the help. I think the question maybe answered.
I will send the screen capture shortly.

Images displaying differently in Library view to Develop - also affecting Exports

I've run in to a strange problem since the 4.1 upgrade.
When displayed in the Library view, images are not appearing correctly. In my case, there is a huge amount more noise in the Library view compared to the Develop view. This is also affecting Exports.
I have been unable to find any answers online, and only found one other case of this reported via a You Tube video.
Any ideas?!
Many thanks
Rick

I am assuming you have a correctly calibrated monitor calibrated using a hardware calibrator. Lightroom sometimes shows the aforementioned problems with canned monitor profiles on windows machines. Now that out of the way:
I am also having this problem - the library view is closer to the printer output - very frustrating! In dev mode the image is lighter - sometimes appears to be too hot, but in library and during print it is just right. This was not a problem in 3 - what's the fix?
Have you tried seeing what happens when you soft proof for the paper profile in the Develop module?
It seem the fit views do not match up...the confusion comes in that it seems the fill views sometimes do, and sometimes do not match. when the images appear different, I've the sense in dev the images are brighter and hotter.
This can happen if your image is very noisy or has a lot of high frequency detail. The sharpening preview in fit view that is applied in Develop tends to brighten images with lots of noise or detail. It also happens when you are applying a lot of color noise reduction and have a lot of colored detail. SInce Lightroom cannot really show you the result of this correctly but for when looking at 1:1, this results in the Fit preview showing more color saturation than there really is.
