Editing jpegs- need help!!

hi guys,
with fireworks whats the best way to accurately change the
colour of a jpeg, particularly one such as in the url with a
gradient? I cant figure it out!
picture link!

I'm sticking with Fireworks CS3 for the time being, so if
you're on CS4 I'm quite sure this will be slightly different. But
if you select your image with the black pointer, and then navigate
to the "filters" panel at the bottom of the screen and press the
"plus" icon, you'll be presented with several options. Go to
"Adjust Color" then "Hue/Saturation". Try various combinations of
the sliders to get it in the ballpark. You can also try Adjust
Color > Color Overlay. With that method you can fill the entire
object with color and then lower the opacity of the fill. Sometimes
combining those two techniques can be quite effective. You'll soon
discover that you'll want to "mask" the image though, ie remove it
from it's background. There's a topic discussing just that a few
posts down and it's covered quite often in this forum.
Good luck!

  • New at building editing machine need help

    So I've been reading the forum and through some research I've seen a good option for a mobo is X58 ASUS P6X58D-E LGA - but I've been reading the plethora of problems and I know me and I am definitely not a tech savvy guy when it comes to making these machines - I was wondering what a good alternative would be as it seems to have nice features like USB 3.0

    That small adjusment that you mention is to increase the ram multi for the
    folow result:
    RAM multi 10= 1333 mhz
    RAM multi 12= 1596 mhz
    In both cases we must increase the QPI Link Speed. Its like making OC of the
    ram which can be a little complex for a normal user.
    About the Latency I cannot say more. Only hope that BillG publishes my
    results soon and try with facts more that with words.
    Note: all these info is base on a I7 950.

    I don’t believe RAM latency is anywhere near as important as your processor
    choice. You have devised a good configuration. Its not imperative to over
    clock; Premiere CS5 will work great with your configuration! I will
    reemphasize, “Know (make sure) people are using your mother board/ RAM
    combination successfully” just as an indicator you aren’t climbing out onto
    a limb that has never been tried. More RAM is more important than faster
    Ram, but with 12GB you will be editing like a madman.

  • Advanced Title Editing ( I need help)

    Ok so I'm working on a project of my own and need some help. I know how to make a see through title so that only my title shows and through the text shows my video but now I want to take that title with the video underneath and put that on top of another video clip. So for those that don't follow:
    Clip 1 has see through text on it but you can only see the video underneath the title through the text. Now how do I take clip 1 with title and overlay just the title with clip 1 underneath onto another clip?
    I hope that makes sense.... I don't know if there is a specific name for this action but I'm completely new to adobe premiere and am trying to figure this out

    put a track matte key on your video and set the matte to the text above it. See if that if what you were looking for.

  • Editing DVD, NEED HELP!

    Hey everyone! I just got a NON-COPYRIGHTED DVD which I need
    to delete and add a new first scene on. I saved the Video_TS folder
    to me PC, but it wont let me add the files (VOBs ETC)
    How can I edit this DVD with Director? Or can I not edit
    DVDs

    Thats why I bought it....... Like cant u save it to ur PC and edit
    the VOBs?
    Hi,
    As was said before, Director cannot edit DVD video. You will
    need a video editing program like Premiere. Director can read
    chapers
    from a DVD or allow you to play sections of a DVD. Director
    does not allow DVD authoring. Any application you create will have
    to
    run off a computer (Mac or PC). It does not allow output to a
    TV DVD player.

  • IMovie 10.0.2/Project disappeared, not editable anymore, need HELP!?

    Following problem occured on my Mac. Some days ago I created a new video with the plain/simple project template. All worked fine, I was able to upload it to Youtube and post-editing workes also fine.
    So, some days later (today) I wanted to reuse the video and the projekt is not shown anymore in iMovie with the result that I cannot reuse it.
    For the record:
    I am still on the same library and have not changed it
    The files and the event (project) definition file is still stored and available in the library package if you look into it with Finder. (Looks like projects are stored in SQLite Format)
    The shared video in its MOV format is still in the library package
    The source files are still stored in the package and are also available within iMovie
    Any ideas to get the project back into iMovie to be able to edit/re-use it? Is there any hidden feature to rebuild iMovie libraries?
    Thanks in advance

    No, I did not.
    Meanwhile I have found the reason for the projects disappear in my libraries! The problem is caused by using the dash "#" symbol in my project names.
    I have created another project with a dash in the name and the project also disappeared in iMovie with the same effect that the underlying data was still in die library.
    Apple should release a warning that some special characters are not allowed to be used in project names or better should solve this.
    Thanks for your help!

  • IMac froze after accidentally dropping hundreds of jpegs in desktop.......need help to fix.....desktop filled now..thanks

    iMac froze after accidentally dropping hundreds of jpegs in desktop.......need help to fix.....desktop filled now..thanks

    Important: mende's suggestion will remove everything from your Desktop, not just the jpegs. Not good. Do the following instead. Open Terminal in Utilities and copy/paste, then hit return after each. The second will create a folder on the Desktop called "photos." The third command will move all of them into that new  folder, "photos" This will save them. These commands assume you are logged into the account with the troubled Desktop.
    cd ~/Desktop
    mkdir photos
    mv *.jpg photos/
    If you don't care about saving them then the following will delete them. (It is critical that you only use copy/paste.)
    cd ~/Desktop
    rm *.jpg

  • Need help to create report with jpeg/gif image

    Hello,
    I need help with creating a form with a special jpeg/gif seal. I never done this Java. Until now, I created all forms with ansi C++ with HP escape characters to draw lines, boxs, and text. This form will contain boxes which is populated with database information read from a text file.
    Since this form contains a special seal on the upper right, I don't think it can be done with old fashion ansi C++. How can I create a form with Java and create it as a simple exe to just print the form to a specified printer.
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi,
    I am creating a form with boxes (lines and text). What is special about this form is that it has an image jpeg or gif at the top right corner. Is is a state department seal. Up to this form, I had used ansi C++ and print out escape HP character to print out the lines, boxes, and text. I have no idea how to print out the image. I am new to JAVA and only 1 class in it. Is there sample code out there to create this type of form with the image? I need a starting point.
    Thanks,
    John

  • Need help editing scanned images of old photo album pages PSE 9

    Before I begin this project, I thought I'd get some advice from someone who has undertaken a similar project.  I have three photo albums from the 50's and 60's.  The albums were made by my mother who mounted the photos (mostly black and white but some color photos) on construction paper (of various colors) using the corner holders or glue.  She hand cut the construction paper so each page is not a perfect rectangle ( about 11" tall, 8.5" wide).  The pages were punched and put into a three-ring binder. 
    She added text to the edge of the photo and/or to the construction paper.  Each page contains one to 6 photos and text.  Each album has about 120 pages.  I want to keep the notes on the construction paper so I scanned each page into a TIF files, 400 dpi and stored the images in a separate folder for each volume. 
    I use (poorly) PSE 9.  I see it has a auto straighten/crop feature that can be used one photo at a time.  I tried the divide scanned images function and that did not fully separate all images on the page and also created an image for stray objects on the page such as an unused corner holder.  (I know those things have a better name but it escapes me now.) 
    I plan to create photo books for my siblings.  I am now thinking of cropping the image of each page (rather than each photo on the page) into a uniform size, adjusting levels, contrast and sharpness, saving this image to a JPEG file, and using these edited JPEG images to create the photo book.  Since each page was hand-cut, there will areas of white where one page was torn or cut smaller than another page.  Some pages will have blanks where old photos have been lost leaving behind only the corner things.  It won't be perfect but it will be an image of the album as it exists today. 
    My questions are: 
    The pages are about 11 by 8.5.  Does anyone know a photo service that prints photo albums in a portrait layout in this size?  I  have been unable to find one; it looks like most online photo books are wider rather than taller. 
    Let's assume I use a company such as Shutterfly that offers a 12x12 format.  I assume it would be better to edit the images in PSE9 rather than any online software.  What should I do to keep the proportions in the current images true but make the image fit a 12x12 page, for example? 
    IS there any other editing software anyone can recommend that will speed this up, hopefully a software that would take multiple photos at one time, auto-straighten and auto crop to a set size?  And also auto contrast/level/sharp.  If I could use such auto features on these images and then go back and adjust the photos that did not play well with the auto features, that would save me time. 
    I appreciate anyone's input.  I dread doing this but we have one set of photos and 5 siblings so it has to be done.  Thanks!

    Hi,
    Mentioning your issues one by one:
    1) PSE does not have any portrait Photobook available, so your thought was the best way to get the work done is by choosing the 12x12 - shutterfly one.
    2) PSe does a good job of editing the images. You can set your images of approx. 11x8  size to fit to the 12x12 page. Just choose a one photo page Layout for the page and then right click on the image to " Fit photo in the frame".
    3) If more edits are required for the image, you can easily go to Advanced mode and edit your photos, layouts, move the frames, images or add effects to the images.
    4) Photo book creation sure takes time. because, you want it to be the best. I am sure PSE would help you best here.
    Go ahead and create you photobook. Inc ase you get stuck somewhere, you can always post here to get help!
    Cheers,
    Swarnima

  • I need help ASAP, edits are showing in PS, but not in other programs

    I hope someone can give me an answer. In only one folder, I have edited JPEGs that show edits in Bridge, Camera Raw and Photoshop, but not in Windows Explorer. I discovered this when trying to burn them on a disk. Is this something related to a setting in Bridge and is tehre a way to fix it so it accepts all the changes. Thank you!
    P.S. I am using CS4

    Uh huh...that's to be expected unless you actually opened and processed the images through Camera Raw and Photoshop. All you've done to this point is edit the metadata settings, not the actual pixels. To see the final edits in other apps, you'll need to process the files and resave them as completely edited files. Bridge will properly diaply the metadata edits...but nothing else can.

  • I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like excel, word etc. 13"

    I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like  microsoft office products ...excel, word etc.  I am new to the apple world and have liked the idea of the MAC Book Pro 13" but really dont know if this is good enough or if the computer will soon crash?
    13-inch: 2.6GHz
    with Retina display
    Specifications
    2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
    Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
    8GB 1600MHz memory
    512GB PCIe-based flash storage1
    Intel Iris Graphics
    Built-in battery (9 hours)2

    That's a fine machine and, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB flash storage should serve you well for light video/photo editing as well as for 'normal' usage. And it should last you for years to come.
    Good luck in making your decision!!
