Does elements 11 have the auto blend feature for making a face swap more realistic? Inn

IM trying to do face swaps but when the two people have different skin tones it doesn't look right. How can I transfer a face and make it the same skin color. I'm using Adobe Elements 11 on windows.

This issue comes up not infrequently and requires a bit of work so that it doesn't look fake. Your picture is made of two parts: Luminosity and color. The luminosity is by far the most important.. Try this:
Open the picture file after the faces have been swapped
Duplicate the background layer. Convert this background copy layer to black/white (e.g. via the Enhance menu)
On the background copy layer select the face that needs correction with one of the selection tools
Place the selected face on its own layer (CTRL+J)
The next step is to match the face layer with the b/w layer below. To do that, group a Brightness/contrast adjustment layer to the face layer, and play with the brightness and contrast sliders
Now, keep the face layer, and you can delete the desaturated (Background copy) layer
Open a blank layer at the top of the stack, and change the blending mode to color. Sample the skin color of the person whose skin color you are trying to match, then paint over the face which is on the layer from step #4
You may have to fine-tune by sampling color from other areas, or opening another brightness/contrast adjustment layer to fine-tune the luminosity

Does Elements have the Photoshop Exposure adjustments for Gamma, Exposure and Offset, and where? Is Gamma missing?

I have been a photoshop user since version 3, and am considering switching to Elements 13, as I am not a professional, but do this for home pictures. I found that the Exposure Adjustments setting is fabulous, where I can adjust Gamma, Exposure and Offset, and the the Shadow and Highlight is also great. Does Elements have an EXPOSURE (Gamma, Exposure and Offset) adjustment tool, or something close, and if not the same, how inferior? Same Question for Shadow/Highlights.

As to saving edited items in ACR Edited formats or as a JPEG, unless I Open Image and save the file as a JPG, the edited RAW image is not a portable file, as only Photoshop or Elements will compile the edits from the embedded information. I do see that moving from RAW to Elements Normal mode, I can save the files and do other forms of editing, but I may have to give up a 16bit image for an 8 bit image to do any editing in normal Elements.
When you are using only the 'Done' button with a jpeg without opening and saving in the editor, you have written the settings to the metadata without altering the pixel values. In my own case, That's enough for 80% of my shots. That means: non-destructive editing (the original is still available), parametric editing, the settings are saved, can be used for the next picture and take minimal disk space. You don't need to keep a version set. On the other hand, only Adobe software can read it. Those edits in ACR are calculated in 16 bits even if jpeg is only 8 bits.
On the other hand, if you open the file in the editor, you have the choice to open the converted version in either 8 or 16 bits. Of course, if you want to save it in 16 bits, you'll save in psd or tiff.
What do you know about Photoshop's ImageReady. It appears to offer simpler interfaces to normal Photoshop.
Sorry, I don't know anything abut ImageReady...
As to Elements, it appears that many of the more sophisticated image adjustments that exist in Photoshop are there, but in an 8 bit depth, buried in their different menus.
There are a lot of discussions about 8 or 16 bits depth in Elements. The main idea is that you can't use layers in 16 bits (except with a clunky workaround) and that you can't use local tools in 16 bits. On the other hand, nearly all global edits are available in 16 bits, including many filters and plugins. And with ACR, you can open jpegs in 16 bits... For me, even if I know that I can do nearly everything I need in 16 bits in the editor, I must say that first editing in ACR makes that unnecessary most of the time.

Firefox doesn't have a true "autofill", but rather a form autocomplete. <br />
[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Form+autocomplete] <br />
'''The difference being that form autocomplete recalls form data you have completed previously, and sometimes has totally inappropriate suggestions. Whereas, autofill uses data that you set up ahead of time - not "form history", and has a lot better accuracy.'' <br />
There are a number of extensions that add a true "autofill" to Firefox. <br />

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Mountain Lion. There's a Mountain Lion Support Community where everybody has Mountain Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_mountain_lion

How do I find the 'auto fil' feature for Firefox?

how do I find the 'auto fil' feature for Firefox?

Hi jasmtch,
I am assuming you are talking about auto fill for forms and not password/logins, correct? If that is the case, just take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Form autocomplete]]. This will give you all the information you need to use and manage the autocomplete feature.
Hopefully this helps!

My iPhone 3 does not have the x on apps for me to delete , so how can I delete my apps

My iPhone 3 does not have a x at the corner of my apps when I press and hold, so how can I delete apps?

Hey Sharifa04,
It sounds like you may have Restrictions enabled, specifically the restriction of deleting applications. You can disable this behavior in Settings > General > Restrictions > "Deleting Apps" (Note: You'll need to enter your restrictions passcode to disable restrictions). For more information, see the following article:
iOS: Understanding Restrictions (Parental Controls)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
Also, keep in mind that you will not be able to delete the pre-installed applications on the iPhone, as they are required by the software.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Does Story have the vertical lining script for coverage feature?

I see that you can create shots and there is a horizontal line situation but what about the traditional vertical lines on the page that represent coverage. Can story do that? Is there even a way to manually do it in story?

There is an option to insert 'Sound Elements' (in Production menu) in the script. These elements get added vertically to the right side of the script.
This could be similar to what you are looking for.
Here is some info about it:

Does everyone have the gapless playback feature

this question is for anyone that has downloaded the new version of itunes and updated their ipod.
does the gapless feature work on every 5g ipod because it doesn't work on mine. when i listen to nirvana on my ipod there are seconds in between songs. when i listen to it on itunes through my ipod it palys gaplessly but not through the ipod alone.

Gapless playback is a feature on iPod 5th Generation models, and iPod Nano Second Generation. There is some confusion at times over generations. For this post, a Fifth Generation iPod, is an iPod that will playback video files.
For more information see this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304362
I do know that gapless playback depends on the source material. If you imported the songs from a CD, have you tried importing them again after installing iTunes 7?

When i go to editor on garageband 10.2 it does not have the auto tune option. How can i find it or auto tune at all? Do i need to re-install?

when i go tot he editor option in garageband with the new update it does not give me the option to autotune like what I've seen others have. What should i do so i can get that option?

Auto tuning is called "Pitch Correction" in GarageBand 10.
Select the "Track" tab in the Track Editor.
If "Pitch Correction" does not show, enlarge the Editor pane by dragging the dividing line to the track area upward, until the pitch correction slider is showing.

What is the JavaScript function to disable the auto-loop feature for the Video Player Plus Widget?

I have PDF's with links to streaming video that play using the native video skin. The Video Player Plus widget auto starts the video by default.
Can someone please tell me how to disable this???
Thanks in advance!

And in CS4, if there is not a matching Preset, you can choose the Desktop Preset, which will allow you to customize nearly every attribute to match your source footage. The name is a bit of a misnomer, but has been around for a long time. I would have called it the "Custom Preset," but Adobe never called.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I just learned something new about CS5 from Curt, because of your question - thanks!

Where is the "Auto-hide" feature for Jdev 9.0.3

According to the feature list
"Enhanced IDE
1. Set dockable windows to auto-hide.
2.....
Question is how and which windows can be set to auto-hide?
Anyone?
Thanks.

There is a small icon on the right-hand side of the title-bar on each of the dockable windows, that is suppose to look like a pin, pressing this will enable the shuttering of that window. To turn it off again you need to press the pin icon again.
Thanks,

TS1646 Apple needs to remove the auto-fill feature for the zip code!!!

Keep getting an error that states my billing info is incorrect, ever since I updated to 7.0.2!
Appears to be the zip code or middle initial...

I am 99.9% sure it's the update that is causing the problem. The problem started for me after my first purchase once I updated on Tuesday. Oddly, but thankfully for some reason I had not updated my son's iPad to I OS 7, earlier today out of curiosity I attempted to make an in app purchase and it went through no problem still using OS 6. When I checked mine, I still cannot make purchases. Apple said earlier in the week it was my bank, then it must be that I am continuously entering info wrong. The info has to be correct if all the 1.99 hold charges they process for confirmation when updating payment info have shown up on my account. The question now is can they fix this a.s.a.p or how long can it take to get a patch if the cannot.

HT2470 My finder does not have the option to search for everything, only file names.

Is there a place I have to change settings?

"Add folder ..." is in the File menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the File menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:

HT4623 that's a nice article about updates, however my IPAD (original) does not have the button to search for updates... what then?

can someone please direct me to original ipad update info- there is no "search for updates" button in settings, I think we bought the first ipad ever made...

iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5 or Later
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Does Elements have blurring capabilities?

Hello, we're looking at purchasing a video-editing software. At first, Premiere Pro sounded pretty good. But, Elements looks like it may handle our needs. I presume that Elements may not have all the bells and whistles that are found in Pro, but it would have the same processing "muscle" to handle movies (ours are 1920 x 1200). If I'm wrong on this, please correct me.
The main purpose currently for our editing is to blur confidential information in the movie. There would be several places that need to be blurred at once. There shouldn't be a need to have the blur move with the subject, but, if we need it, it seems that graphics can move with a subject.
So, my main question is this: Does Elements have the capability to blur subjects? I also welcome any comments or concerns that I need to consider before making this purchase.
Kevin

Though I love my PrPro, PrE can do so many of the same things (naming conventions and locations can be different). With the price differential, you should be able to do some serious hardware improvements. The three, that will give you the most bang-for-the-buck will be:
CPU power - especially if you use AVCHD source material
RAM - just fill up the MoBo per your OS. Except for the 4GB sticks, RAM is cheap now.
I/O sub-system, i.e. multiple fast physical HDD's, allocated properly. The most common recommended configuration is: C:\ OS, programs and probably Page File, D:\ Project and Scratch Disks, E:\ media files. If one is buying new, get the fastest possible C:\. Size does not matter THAT much. D:\ & E:\ should be fast (7200 RPM min.), but do not need to be as quick as C:\, and here bigger is better. If possible, SATA II will be the best controller.
Do NOT use any partitions. I am talking about physical, not logical, HDD's. If one goes a RAID _0 route, only use this for the media drive, and not for the system, or Project drive, unless you also use a RAID with redundancy. If you go RAID, I would look into a dedicated RAID controller card, instead of on-board RAID controller, or software striping.
Good luck,
Hunt
