Duplicating an image

Hi. I am making a map for a fantasy book and need to be able to duplicate mountains quickly. Is there a way to take a mountain (already drawn, colored, and cut out) and duplicate it without creating a new layer? I've tried creating brushes and stamp patterns but neither does the simple task that I'm looking for. I just want to be able to place a full image the way you would place any shape with a paint brush. Any Ideas? Any help is appreciated!

Is there really no way to stamp a pre-made image over and over in photoshop?
Yes, there is the Clone Stamp Tool.
Here's an example with just one clone source stamped several times onto a layer. The stamps can be as colourful as you desire, of course. The CST panel will let you use multiple sources and scaling to provide variety.

AppleScript Bug: Duplicating stacked images to albums

for anyone else using AppleScript, I encountered this bug a couple of nights ago. I've reported it to Apple.
14-Feb-2009 02:14 AM Gregory Charles Rivers:
Summary:
The Aperture/AppleScript "Duplicate" command when used to add stacked images to albums does not work as expected.
(1) when stacked images are successfully added to the target album, they are added as masters rather than simple album items.
(2) if the source project is not selected in the Inspector, stacked images will not be added to the target album.
(3) "Duplicate" is not a suitable command for adding objects to albums and confuses scriptors. an additional "Add" or "Assign" command should be created expressly for this purpose.
Steps to Reproduce:
* begin of steps to reproduce *
PROBLEM #1
1. [APERTURE] import 3 masters into a new project called "Gregory"
2. [SCRIPT] in a script editor, get the new project's ID:
id of every project whose name is "Gregory"
-> "UkRHKvb/RfmZ8H+Jn/pxRA"
3. [SCRIPT] get a list of the images in the new project:
every image version of project id "UkRHKvb/RfmZ8H+Jn/pxRA"
-> a list of 3 objects
4. [APERTURE] create two albums within the project:
-> "Album 1" and "Album 2"
5. [APERTURE] stack the first two images.
6. [SCRIPT] add only the first image to "Album 1"
copy every image version of project id "UkRHKvb/RfmZ8H+Jn/pxRA" to theImages
duplicate theImages's first item to album "Album 1" of project id "UkRHKvb/RfmZ8H+Jn/pxRA"
-> the stack that image 1 is a member of, is added to the album, but it's not a normal 'linked' album item.
7. [APERTURE] delete the image from "Album 1" by selecting the image and pressing "Delete" on the keyboard.
-> a warning is sounded but nothing happens. with normal album images, they're simply removed from the album.
-> "Remove from album" is greyed out in the Images menu.
8. [APERTURE] select the first image of the stack within the album and press Command-Delete.
-> a dialog is presented confirming that the images inside the album are masters.
confirm.
-> the image is removed from the album, and from the project!
9. [APERTURE] select the remaining image and press Delete.
-> the image is removed from the album without affecting the master as would normally be expected.
(the work-around for removing 'masters' from the album is to unstack them after which they become 'normal' album items again.)
PROBLEM #2
10. [APERTURE] import the first master again, back into the same "Gregory" project.
-> we now have 3 masters in the project.
11. [APERTURE] stack the first two images.
12. [APERTURE] within project "Gregory", select "Album 2".
13. [SCRIPT] add all 3 images to "Album 1" (while "Album 2" is still selected within Aperture).
copy every image version of project id "UkRHKvb/RfmZ8H+Jn/pxRA" to theImages
repeat with i in theImages
duplicate i to album "Album 1" of project id "UkRHKvb/RfmZ8H+Jn/pxRA"
end repeat
-> only the unstacked image is added to the album.
14. [APERTURE] select the project "Gregory".
15. [SCRIPT] run the script again.
copy every image version of project id "UkRHKvb/RfmZ8H+Jn/pxRA" to theImages
repeat with i in theImages
duplicate i to album "Album 1" of subfolder "nested" of project id "UkRHKvb/RfmZ8H+Jn/pxRA"
end repeat
-> all of the images are added to the album.
-> the stacked images are still 'masters' rather than simply album items.
PROBLEM #3
the "Duplicate" command should be used for adding images as links to objects such as albums. the use of the "Duplicate" term for this action leads to confusion. an additional "Add" or "Assign" command should be created for this specific purpose.
* end of steps to reproduce *
Expected Results:
whether stacked or not, images added to albums should be simple linked items, not masters, and which when deleted by pressing Delete simply disappear from the album without affecting the true masters.
Actual Results:
(1) stacked images added to albums are added as masters instead of linked items.
(2) stacked images cannot be added to albums if their containing projects are not selected in the Projects inspector.
(3) the use of the term "Duplicate" when applied to adding items to albums is confusing because the images aren't actually duplicated.
Regression:
Unstack all images before running any script that adds stacked images to albums.

I have noticed behavior with drag-and-drop working anomalously different for me than as reported by others. It has not yet been problematic, but definitely anomalous.
It sounds like the Aperture team should forget features improvements for a while and focus on stability.

How to mark (psd) Images with the Circle Symbol without duplicating them

I would like to import my layered images in Aperture.
The problem is i would like to further adjust them in photoshop cs3 without creating a duplicate.
Is there a possibility to mark this images with the Circle Symbol (for edited with external editor) or do I really have to open each image than close again, delete the master and then the remaining image with the circle can be opened and further enhanced in Photoshop without duplicating the image.
Another example:
I like to open a psd file within aperture with: edit with Adobe Photoshop CS3.
The Image should open without being duplicated. Then I could drag the layer into another PSD document and close it again.
Right now I would end up with a Master Duplicate which I have to delete afterwards.
I know I could use referenced files and say show in finder but I like managed better,
also:
Show in finder does show you only one image (I like to do that to 5 or 10 images at once).
bc

Like I said if you want to get into the programming business you can modify the aperture database directly but I don't know of an easier way with managed masters. You can always just do your workaround to files that you are actually working on and you only need to do it once.
Sorry there is no answer to easier answer to deal with all of them at the same time. At least none I can think of off the top of my head.
RB
Ps. Lightroom can just open your PSD files but that is an apples and oranges thing. Lightroom is not trying to manage your masters for you in a managed library an ensure that nothing modifies them, if you are ok with that method than referenced files should be ok with you as well, you can always use referenced for your legacy PSDs and use a managed methodology for your new images going forward starting with the source image.

Duplicating images

ive a question that i feel a bit silly asking cos i know i should know how to do it.
is there an easy way of duplicating an Image that has been loading from my web server??
Im guessing i can't use some thing like ;
Image newImage=oldImage;although i havejt tested it yet i think it would try and download it again (i think).
the only other way i can think to do it is to copy the image into an array and then create a new image from that array....but surely thats overkill
any ideas?

> Im guessing i can't use some thing like ;
>
Image newImage=oldImage;
With that you're only "pointing" newImage to oldImage; so oldImage and newImage point to the same object.
> the only other way i can think to do it is to copy
the image into an array and then create a new image
from that array....but surely thats overkill
any ideas?
I'm no 2D expert, but perhaps you can create a duplicate with the getScaledInstance(int, int, int) method from the Image class.

Image content not defined in TileList

I have two images on a canvas, one is directly on the canvas using inline code, the other is embedded in a tilelist. Both images render. When I click and drag the inline image, the drag proxy appears normally. When I click and drag the image in the tile list, I get an error when I try to make a copy of the bitmap. This is occurring because the content of the image in the tile list is NULL, even though the source value is correct and the image has been loaded. I'm assuming this is some sort of itemRenderer issue, but I'm not clear on how it retains the source of the image, but not the content. If it's duplicating the image and referencing another bitmap, how do I access that bitmap?
The code is below with the exception of the image.

Accessing items in containers when renders are used can be problematic, because Flex recycles the items for large data sets.
So this code works fine but uses a Repeater. You may have to do some thinking to rework your concept, but this works:

IPhoto 6 has become corrupt and I have lost 50 amended images

This is my second post re a major/ serious corruption issue I have with iPhoto 6
Within my library I have 50 images that have had multi amendments made and each amendment has been saved as an image revision (e.g. Image6 when 6 changes had been made)
I came to use some imges this week and found that the thumbnails in the relevant iPhoto6 folder show the correct 'amended' image - however on clicking the very original photo appears (e.g. image 1)
This is a serious issue as I sell these images as my business
I have back ups but im still confused how this has happened (I have not used revert to original at any time)
My apple specialist has tried a rebuild but the problem remains
Its not on all images
Any ideas? Anyone know a UK based iPhoto speciliast available for hire?
thank you

Note that you are posting in the iPhoto '08 forum and that answers for fixing library issues in iPhoto '08 may be different than doing the same fix in iPhoto 6 - it is safer to post in the correct forum - iPhoto 6 - http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=143
Within my library I have 50 images that have had multi amendments made and each amendment has been saved as an image revision (e.g. Image6 when 6 changes had been made)
Since iPhoto does not have either a save or a save as capability it is important that you describe how you did the amendments and how you created the revised images - e. g. image1 to image6
In iPhoto all edits are applied to the image and the name remains - the only possibly way to accomplish what you say using iPhoto alone is to duplicate and rename the image prior to editing and then it is impossible for iPhoto to link the duplicated & renamed image back to the original image - as far as iPhoto is concerned both (or all 7 in your example) images are separate and have no relationship to each other

Line break in photoshop image

I had a tif file of a mountain climber which was placed in an Indesign file as a cover for a brochure. The indesign file went through a number of text edits during the course of August through November. Towards the last month of November a line gap appeared in the cover on the tif file. When I opened the tif file the gap appeared across the top quarter of the image. Why did this happen? Unfortunately I did not catch this and my client had to reprint the cover images at the press. My OS system is Maverick and I was using an older photoshop, CS5.

No the original image does not have the line break. See below.
I duplicated the image below for the current project and the line break occurred midway through the project. It seems that the image somehow got corrupted but I did not open it up in photoshop at all.

Best PPI for Creating New Image in Photoshop

Hi,
Bunch of questions - all in BOLD. I am somewhat new to CS5 and have been playing around with making art in it. Yesterday I created a piece of art simply by selecting 6 inches by 6 inches in the dialog box (because I was thinking of just printing it out at home and gluing it to a 6 x 6 canvas). It defaulted to 72 ppi / RGB as it always does, and I was fine with that when I started the piece and also because I post these pieces of art to my blog on the web.
I am in the process of trying to create art for licensing and understand I will have to create things in CMYK for that (right?). I also understand that I should probably create a PS piece at 300 ppi (or is 355 ppi the new standard?)
I want to create the art on 12 x 12 photoshop windows ("scrapbook size") for manufacturers that will also allow the art to be sampled up and down a little bit (say down to 8 x 8 and up to 20 x 20). Is 300 dpi the best dpi, then, to create the piece at?
Also, is it possible to re-save the file for the web at 72 dpi / RGB for posting to my blog? What is the best way to do this?
Final question, I think, is that I will be printing out my art on my own home printer (4-color HP Vivera inks) for trade shows just to show it and am not concerned that it be the absolute-best of all possible prints. Just a pretty good rendition of it for display purposes and I obviously don't want to go through a boatload of ink and spend 20 years waiting for it to come out of the printer, etc. Can anyone recommend the best setting (CMYK? PPI???) for home-printing of 12 x 12's as such?
Thanks!

that all of these choices will allow me to save it as a copy?
When using Image > Image Size I would recommend duplicating the Image (Image > Duplicate) first to avoid the risk of overwriting the original.
I guess what you are saying is that the manufacturer is able to fiddle with CMYK values that he/she needs and I shouldn't worry about it and just create it in RGB.
Unless you know what space the actual print will be in you better stay in the larger gamut (as most RGB-spaces are likely to be in relation to most CMYK-spaces).
And even if you know the target-space working in RGB offers some advantages and avoids the risk of overshooting the allowed Total Area Coverage (as can happen when working in CMYK-files).
what would be the best way to go about trying to decide what possible CMYK profile I should use, and where in the program would I choose to set it and view it
• Where do you work (North America, Europe, Asia, …)? In Europe FOGRA sets the standard (ISO Coated v2 for sheet fed offset presses at current for example), in other regions of the world different standards may apply.
• What is the likely output for your images (Posters, newspapers, magazines, offset or gravure print, t-shirts, …)?
One can always ask one’s print provider which icc-profile fits their process.
You can use Photoshop’s soft proofing capabilities to get a preview of whatever color-space you find out to be the pertinent one under
View > Proof Setup > Custom
and save that. Then turn View > Proof Colors on or off as needed (command-Y).
But here (as with separation in general) you may want to look into the various Render Intents.
Additionally you can use View > Gamut Warning (command-shift-Y).
can I safely assume when I purchase a scanner and use that in the creation of some work that I should scan things in at 300 ppi?
300ppi effective resolution that is – this means that if you are likely to upscale an image in a layout program like Indesign or just print it out bigger you should do the scan accordingly bigger or with higher resolution so that in the end 300ppi are maintained for products that are likely to be viewed at or less than an arm’s distance.

Interface Builder refuses to see "@2x" image files

I'm making some apps with support for all three major iOS platforms: iPhone&Co, iPhone4 and iPad. This support means, naturally, having larger-resolution images for the latter two platforms. Currently I'm making the apps universal, so the same app will run in all of them.
Since most of the double-resolution images of the iPhone4 version of the app can be used as-is in the iPad version (only things like background images have to be made separately for all three types of platform due to differing screen resolutions; the rest can be done with simply laying out the elements appropriately in the iPad as compared to the iPhone4, using the same element images for both), it would be a huge waste of space to make separate images for the iPhone4 and the iPad, when these images would be completely identical. Thus it only makes sense to reuse the same "@2x" images of the iPhone4 on the iPad version of the app.
This worked nicely for a while. However, at some point quite suddenly (I don't really know what happened), Interface Builder started to completely refuse to see any image files with a "@2x" in their name. It won't show them on the drop-down menu where you select an image (eg. for an UIImageView or UIButton), and if you write it manually, it will refuse to show it (only showing the question mark image symbolizing a missing image file). The image will show ok when running the app, but IB simply refuses to acknowledge the existence of such images. If I rename the image such that I remove the "@2x", then IB will accept it, but not if it has those characters.
As said, IB did see the "@2x" images at some point, but for some reason now it doesn't. (This is a bit of a mystery because I don't remember this happening after any kind of SDK upgrade or anything.)
This tells me that this is either 1) a bug in IB, or 2) intentional behavior, and the "@2x" images should not be "abused" in this way to create an iPad version of the app properly.
If hypothesis 2 is correct, then what is the proper way of using the same images in both the iPhone4 and iPad versions of the app? Duplicating the image files would be an enormous waste of space (the apps are quite graphics-heavy).
One "kludge" that comes to mind would be to create soft links for the images so that the iPad versions of the image files would just be soft links to the @2x iPhone4 images. However, I don't know if the bundling mechanism of the iPhone SDK supports soft links, or if it will simply make copies of the images (in which case each such image will end up being stored twice in the bundle).

I guess I don't understand why you want a solution when you've found one already.
Just use ".2x" or "-2x" or whatever.
Report the bug, use your workaround and move on.

Why duplicate images uploaded from iPhoto to Elements?

Uploading images from iPhoto to PS Elements 13 created duplicates of every image. I have a MAC with Maverick OS. Is this a problem for others? How does one organize in Elements with twice the number of images to handle? Very frustrating!!

Thanks for your reply, Barbara B.
iPhoto is slated to be discontinued in January 2015. I didn't mention that because of this, Elements will be my photo organizing software of choice, thus the upload.
Specifically, the issue I am having is that when uploading my 'unique' images from iPhoto to Elements, Elements duplicated each image, so now I have twice the number of images than were actually in iPhoto. There is no change in metadata, these are true duplicate images.
This seems to be an issue with Elements, and I wondered if anyone else has noticed the same problem?

IPhoto 11 and PSE 11: where is the image data stored?

I have been using iPhoto on my new macbook for the last 3 mos. It has some useful features such as quick editing, easy sharing and making neat collages etc. However its editing capability is limited and so i just bought PSE 11 for mac.
My questions:
1. I am trying to figure out as I import new pictures, where do I keep them, iPhoto or PSE? The pictures I take from iPhone , iPad obviously go into iPhoto first. However it is the photos I take with my other digital cameras that I am not sure where to bring them in.
2. If I import first into iPhoto and then into PSE, does the image data get duplicated?
3. If I bring a photo from iPhoto into PSe and edit it, the picture remains in PSE. How do I take it back into iPhoto? Should I delete the edited photo from PSE after exporting it to iPhoto to avoid duplicate images?
Your recommendations appreciated.

In general it’s best not to use Organizer and iPhoto together. It’s one or the other to avoid duplicating your images.
If you already have lots of photos in iPhoto, you could set up the iPhoto prefs, to enable the PSE11 Editor application for external editing. You can then use Edit In or Cmd+E directly from you iPhoto thumbnails.

IPhoto '11 (9.1.3) moves duplicated photo AND original automatically when copy/paste into another event

I recently "upgraded" from 9.1.1 to 9.1.3 on OS X 10.6.8. I prefer an older version of iPhoto.
The main reason I "upgraded" was because I wanted to try to fix the issue that I have whenever syncing my iphone, which is that my iPhone would not use the "Make Key Photo" image that I selected in iPhoto as my main picture when scrolling through my albums/events in my iphone.
Since this upgrade, I'm having an issue whenever I duplicate an image in iPhoto and cut the image and paste the image into another event, the duplicated image will paste AND the original automatically transfers/pastes itself into the event. When I go back to the original event that I duplicated the image in, I notice that the original image is no longer there because it is now in the event that I cut and pasted the duplicate in.
I was trying to fix the key photo being my real key photo versus when my iPhone is synced it makes the first image in the event the key photo, but now I would like to also fix the original photo from automatically moving itself with the duplicated cut/paste photo issue.
How can this be resolved?

This post by Terence Devlin is an excellent treatise on organizing photos with iPhoto: Better way to organize my images?: Apple Support Communities
It's bound to give you good ideas on applying the concepts discussed to your own needs.

How do you place an image on 'new background" when open documents in tabs is unchecked

I am trying to use "mirror technique" (watching videos to learn)
I opened image in PS 2014....with "open documents as tabs is Unchecked..
made a new document the size that will hold the doubled image...
duplicated the image
flipped horizontal...
but when I place on "new document"...nothing happens....just separate windows..
thanks

On image 1, CTRL+A to select all.
CTRL+C to copy.
Switch to image 2, CTRL+V to paste.
Click on Move tool and adjust layer placement as needed.

Need to know how to place a tiling image in the div tags

Let me see if I can explain what I want to do in a way that makes sense.
I have created a box using the <div> I want a background image I made in photoshop that has rounded corners. I need this image to stretch or tile the length and width of the box without duplicating the image in the tile. I don't want multiple rounded corner corner boxes appearing. Just the one stretched.
I am guessing I need to crop the rounded corner top, bottom and take a 1 px tall crop from from the center of the image for tiling and the top and bottom remain fixed in their position.
I don't know how to place these in the box if my assumptions about cropping are right.
I don't know how to stretch the width of the image to fit the width of the box either. Do I need to create a fixed width image the width of the box or can it stretch to fill the width?
Using DW CS6
Thanks

Tiling would mean duplicating itself horizontally and vertically to appear as though it were tiled (envision a shower wall).
You do not want it to tile it sounds like, but you want the background image to cover the entire background by resizing to whatever size the containing <div> is.
That can be done relatively easily with the css3 background-size property.
The css would look like this...
#container_id {
     background-image:url(your_image.jpg);
     background-size:100% 100%;
     background-repeat:no-repeat;
Then the html would look like this...
<div id="container_id>
