Easy way to manipulate overlay image file?

Greetings, I'm currently trying to figure out how to simplify something for a client so they can make quick changes. Here's what I have:
- Menu with a video in the background playing in a 30s loop.
- Menu buttons with a specific "tile" I created in Photoshop, and placed into DVDSP as an overlay. This button "tile" (a vertical triangle) was placed in a specific position relative to the video in the background.
- Menu buttons illuminate the triangle when you select a specific button properly.
Now, the client has changed the background video from a 4:3 video to a 16:9 video, and wants to move the text and buttons on the menu. In doing so, this means the button "tile" needs to shift many pixels down.
As far as I can tell, there's no way to simply grab the overlay image file and drag it down a few pixels, line it up by eye and be done with it. Do I have to go into Photoshop, manipulate the image, re-save it and reintroduce it to DVDSP?
Basically, is there an easy way to move or relocate the overlay image file within DVDSP? Thanks!

Overlays cannot be moved or relocated in DVD SP. Best bet is to do it in a Custom 16:9 preset in Photoshop

Is there as easy way of batch converting RGB files to CMYK in OS Lion?

Is there as easy way of batch converting RGB files to CMYK in OS Lion?
I was using a photoshop droplet on my desktop but this no longer works due to the fact it requires rosetta support.
Thx P

From another forum after googling:
Your computer came with everything you need, because ColorSync can do that and Apple provided AppleScripts for it. Go to your Applications folder and look for the AppleScript folder. Double click on the 'Example Scripts' alias and then open the ColorSync scripts. Drag and drop your images on the the 'Match to CMYK' script.
You can open AppleScript Editor from Launchpad (it's in Utilities). Go to Help to Open Example Scripts Folder. In the ColorSync folder is a Match application. Double click to make it run.
Now you know what it does you may need to change it for batch conversion.
Go to AppleScript Editor and open what you've just found. And I'm sorry that's as far as my knowledge goes, hope some one can fill in the gaps.
Or you may just want to look at something like Graphic Converter?

Easy way to extract a jar file?

I'm looking for an easy way to extract a jar file from with in a java program. I would also like to specify what directory it goes into. I can't seem to find anything on this.

>
...I can't seem to find anything on this.>Where were you looking, under the bed and in the closet? Try [search: extract jar Java|http://lmgtfy.com/?q=extract+jar+Java].
As to specifying a directory, offer the end user a JFileChooser set to browse directories only.

Is there a way to save an image file as a jpeg and add -web or -print to the file name?

I am trying to find a way to save my image file as a jpeg and add -web or -print to the existing file name. This way I can easily see which files are lower resolution for web posting or high resolution for printing.

Jason,
I helped somebody do a very similar thing about a week ago.
The trick is to use the Batch command's ability to construct a file name.
Tell the batch to append, e.g. "-x" without quotes, to the name of each saved file.
The batch runs an Action which does a save as JPEG, resize image, add logo, save as JPEG, then close document.
The output is "<document name>-x.jpg" and "<document name>-x-x.jpeg".
Then use Windows Explorer to rename "*-x-x.jpg" to "*-print.jpg".
Then rename "*-x.jpg" to "*-web.jpg".
See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1038992?start=32
The name construction that I used there was just an "x" appended to the document name. Use whatever you like. Also juliew subsequently referred to the method as a "double-batch" run, although it is not. One run of the batch will output two JPEGs for each input document.
I hope the disagreements in that thread don't cause too much disruption.
If you want, the Batch command itself can be recorded in another Action which would store the parameters of the batch, then you could run that Action anytime without having to set up the details of the batch each time. It would always output to one specific folder, though.

Is there a quick & easy way to replace an image within an image frame?

Is there a quick and easy way to replace an image in an image frame that is already set up with the proper effects?
In my example, I have a photo grid and just need to replace the photos periodically. Everything is already in place in the grid. I don't want to recreate the grid on the page.
I thought that I could have clicked to get the brown frame for the image and placed a new one, but that didn't work. Or, I could have right clicked and found something like "replace image", but that didn't work.
How can I quickly and easily just click on the image I need to replace and replace it with another one?

There is an easy way to do this. Click on the image you would like to change and then change the fill to the new image. You will see the fill option in the upper left when you have the image you would like to change selected.

Is there an easy way to convert original images to b&w ?

I have a canon 5d mark II and when I decide to shoot b&w pics, this is what i do : I set my camera to b&w and shoot raw+jpeg. raw files come out in color all the time but jpegs show up in b&w when i import them . I decided to do so as it is very time consuming to convert the original images to b&w one by one.
Is there an easy way to do it?? Any suggestions?

Little known hint well worth knowing:
If you use the menu selection "Photos→Add Adjustment" or "Photos→Add Adjustment Preset", the operation is done to all selected images.
In addition to what Frank says, you could also apply a B&W Adjustment Preset when the files are imported. These adjustments are like any others -- they can be toggled on and off, removed, and adjusted with the settings in the Bricks used.
For grayscale, it is well worth the time exploring the included Presets and the slider controls. Afaik, sophisticated grayscale photographers optimize their images in color prior to converting to grayscale.
JPG is 8-bit and lossy. RAW is (up to) 16-bit and unconverted (no loss of data, but "lossless" isn't quite right). If the JPG conversion and quality suffices, there is little reason to shoot RAW+JPEG.
In essence, you can use the in-camera-created grayscale JPGs, with their fixed and baked-in conversion settings, or you can use Aperture's broad (and time-consuming) grayscale controls. If you do the latter, and settle on a conversion that works for your camera and subject(s), save it as an Adjustment Preset and use it.

Is there a way to extract an image file metadata?

I know this isn't specific to PS but hope there's an answer here.
I'm transcribing some of the metadata from image files to build a simple catalog. Included are things like dimensions, resolution, and photo date. Is there a way to extract this data other than manually?
Thanks
Tom

Best way to create an image file

Hi,
I am drawing a huge image by using java 2d .to store that image into a image file i am using the following code...
BufferedImage bf=new BufferedImage(diagramHandle.getWidth(),diagramHandle.getHeight(),BufferedImage.SCALE_SMOOTH);
               Graphics2D gd=bf.createGraphics();
               diagramHandle.paintComponent(gd);--> this class will render the image and store into bufferred image
               ImageIO.write(bf, "PNG", file);
for the small images it is working properly. but when i am trying to generate bigger images more than 1240 width and 40000 height it is throwing out of memory error. with out increasing the heap size is there any way to store the images better way..can i directly use the gd object to draw the image..?
Please help me out

thanks for your reply. if i changed the type also it is throwing the out of memory exception ..
at java.awt.image.DataBufferByte.<init>(Unknown Source)
     at java.awt.image.Raster.createInterleavedRaster(Unknown Source)
     at java.awt.image.BufferedImage.<init>(Unknown Source)
</code>
it is throwing the error while constructing the bufferedimage with the specified width and height.is there any other way around to create an image file.please help me out.

Anyone have an easy way to hide an image when clicked?

Hi,
I have an image where I need each text box/arrow to delete once clicked. Surely there is an easier way than creating millions of frames? Is it possible to do it with a button? The person using the animation needs to click the right ones that would lead to them dissappearing.
This was mocked up in photoshop. Only the photo would be brought into flashes library.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks esdebon for your response. I have tried to get it to work and keep getting compiler errors. Nothing happens when i click on the movie clip. button was converted to a movie clip and I added the actionscript but to no avail. This is the error I am getting while testing:
Scene=Scene 1, layer=low, frame=1, Line 1
Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
Scene=Scene 1, layer=low, frame=1, Line 3
The class or interface 'MouseEvent' could not be loaded.
In your second response does "
image2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, hideImages) // to mouse over event
image2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, hideImages) // to mouse out event"
replace "
image2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hideImages)
image3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hideImages)
image4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hideImages)"
for each image? Two lines compared to one in the original line of code?
Also does this stay the same for the first image?
image1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hideImages)
function hideImages(e:MouseEvent):void{
e.target.visible=false;

Is there an easier way to load a MIDI file in Logic8?

Please, does anyone know how to import a MIDI file into Logic 8 withouthaving to manually reset all the instruments and sounds for each track? I have recently switched to a mac and want to perform along with the MIDI back-tracks I always use, but I don't know how to get Logic to do this w/o spending gobs of time assigning SW instruments for each track in every file (!!). Is there an easier way, or perhaps a better program to do this with? On my PC I can use a GM MIDI player that does this automatically. These are professionally made MIDI files with all program and channel settings built in.
Thanks.

Just use "import" & the sw insts' will load and assign accordingly, automatically.
But oddly, there are times when importing a SMF w/imbedded prgm changes, that LP8 loads a completely wrong instrument to a specific track(s).
One reason that I've kept only one of my trustworthy external midi modules (Roland XV5080), specifically for just importing SMFs'. When the XV is in GM mode, any standard midi files I import to LP8... always load pgm changes correctly 100% of the time.

Any way to get an image file's height?

I am now trying to dynamically insert a Canvas component with
an image component inside of it. I need to re-used the code for
many images. Apparently it is only working if I give the canvas a
width and height, which needs to be the size of the image file.
How can I do this?

Images are just display objects. You should be able to grab
the measuredWidth and measuredHeight properties off of it to
determine how big your canvas needs to be. If you're dynamically
changing the source of your image, watch for the dataChange event
that the image dispatches when its source changes.

Easy way to cut 85 minute file into 85 1 minute files?

I'm guessing it can't be done (easily) in Premiere Pro.
I downloaded VirtualDub, but all I can see how to do is set one minute segments separately. Is there a way to make all 85 files at once in VirtualDub or any other program?

1.) In VirtualDub, choose 'Direct Stream Copy' from the Video menu. This will avoid recompression of the video.
2.) Go to File/Save Segmented .AVI...
3.) Check "Limit number of frames per segment" and enter a value (assuming this is 30 fps, then that's 30 * 60 = 1800 frames per minute)
