Elements 10 and resizing canvas

When resizing the canvas for a photo in some but not all saved images the canvas extension color is greyed out. The particular photo is saved as a Tiff. Why is this and how can I solve the problem Thanks

Hi,
Canvas extension color option enables only when baclground layer is present in the image( layer with Backgorund lock).
You can make any layer to background layer from layer > new > background from layer.

Cropping and resizing Images using Adobe Photoshop Elements 12

I am trying to edit pictures for my web site and previously used adobe photo shop 4 which I liked very well. When I try to crop and resize in photoshop 12 have been unable to adjust the images using pixels. As every photo on my website needs to be in pixels then this is a big problem for me! Is there anyway to change the preferences in the settings? Thanks Tess

You should head over to the Elements forums, this forum is for Photoshop. Go here : http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements

Resize canvas and export as a batch?

I have a collection of about 75 images for which I need each
one placed on a
resized canvas, and then exported. I'm having trouble making
a pair of
history steps that I can save to use for a batch operation.
Can anyone
help, please?

No. I'm saying I have a collection of irregularly dimensioned
images (none
wider or taller than 225Wx150H). I want them all saved on a
canvas that has
those dimensions so that I can rotate them without having
screen jitters. I
do not need to resize any of these images, only to add canvas
as needed.

Abobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 resizing pictures?

Abobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 resizing pictures?
I just rencently got Photoshop Elements 5.0 and I have Windows XP service pack 2 and I read the help and did some things. I need to make some pictures smaller or bigger so the people I want in my banner look aroung the same size. When I try to resize the image it resiazes everything or I use the square tool and try to resize it my self but the pictures becomes out of shape. Also if I dont need all of my canvas that I created when I try to crop it t makes the pictures cut off. IS there a way to just get rid of the bottom od the canvas that I didn't do anything with? Here is a banner I made using photoshop and see the girls head is bigger cause I don't know how to resize it. http://i12.tinypic.com/2mcy245.jpg... I went to paint to cut off the extra canvas that was in the picture. I had used The Gimp before I used photoshop and with Gimp I knew how to resize pictures to place on another picture.
Additional Details
the crt + t makes my picture look bad. I guess I have to reseize myt pictures in gimp to make anything then.

while in the Transform tool, tick ON the "Constrain Proportions" tickbox at the top. then when you move a handle, the image will resize poprtionaltely instead of distorting.

Need help getting all white background for jewelry pics and resizing help for my website

Can someone please help me? I'm completely new to photoshop and I have elements 12 and I need to make the background all white for my jewelry photos. I have googled instructions but a lot of my jewelry has chain in it so it's hard to select, erase etc. I have no idea what I'm doing. I also need to resize my photos to 400x400 but when I do they distort. Someone told me I can collect the background color and then resize the canvas but again I'm a complete newbie and none of this makes any sense to me.
Thank you

no worries.

What is the best way to move and resize layers?

When I click on a layer to move and resize it in Elements 8 in Windows 7, it disappears. After I go to Edit/Undo, it reappears. What should I do?

I have PSEv.8 and Windows 7, and the Editor works like a charm for me.
Try the following:
Open picture 1, duplicate the background layer.
Open picture 2, make a selection of something in the picture with one of the selection tools, and then go to Edit>copy. This puts the selection on the clipboard.
Go back to to picture 1, go to Edit>paste, and the selection will be on its own layer
Use the move tool to position and resize the selection.
The middle layer can be dragged to the top. Here, this process will obscure visibility of Layer 1, but you can drag the layer structure back, of course.
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1D3wrzjD5r24U8LfdTA1sdUb0zJOY0
I opened a picture of the house on the lake, copied/pasted the "Slick Rock Divide" sign as per above. The layer structure is represented in the print screen.
You should note that it is best if the resolution of the picture files is the same, or close to it.

Photoshop CC: Have a template that I moved image into. Image is too small. How do I resize the image while in the template? Or must I go to original image file and resize there again and again until I get the right fit?

I have a template that I am able to plug different pictures into at different times. The problem is that when I plug an image into that template, I find that the image is either too big or too small. Is there a way to plug the image into the template and resize the image (and not the template itself) OR will I have to go to the file with the original image and resize it there and then try to plug it in to the template to see if it fits------and if it does not fit, go back to the original file with the image and resize it again and see if that fits---and so on and so on...........? I have tried the" image size" option but it's hit or miss------mostly miss!
Thanks!

Read up on Smart Objects. It looks like you have no idea as to how to create and use them.
Jut create a Smart Object from the layer containing whatever it image it is that you are "plugging into your template". But you do need to learn the application at its most basic levels.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve. You cannot learn Photoshop in a forum, one question at a time.
Or is it possible that you don't even have Photoshop proper but the stripped-down Photoshop Elements?"
If the latter is the case, you're in the wrong forum. This is not the Elements forum.
Here's the link to the forum you would want if you're working in Elements.:

If you do have Photoshop proper, please provide the exact version number of that application and of your OS.

Open and Resize EPS File

Hy Memebrs
i'm new in this forum and i have a question about the EPS file.
I search via google how to open EPS in Photo.. Elements 12, becuase I got allways a Error Message. I found a really good Tutorial, about this problem and did it step by step:
open as... choose picture(eps)... chose OPEN AS -TIFF...
Now I can edit the picture.
I resize the picture to more than 10000px. After this work the picture looked like ... unsharp.... I saw the pixel and I thounght that was the side-effect of the resize.
I was by a friend, who has the photoshop cs6 software(Stundent...) yesterday. I took the same eps file and opened it in his version. The result is unthinkable...
The picture looked very great. I didn't see andy pixel. It looked sharp. Whats the reason for this difference?
I could resize the picture like a skyscraper and it looks alway very great.
What did i wrong?
Sorry for my english
Thank for Help

You didn't do anything wrong.
The workaround you used only opens the very low resolution tiff preview of the eps file and it's at most 8 bits or less than 3 bits/channel.
(a normal eps file is 24 bits or 8 bits/channel)
Photoshop cs6 opens the real eps file and that's why it looks so much better.
Adobe removed the ability for photoshop elements 11 and 12 to open eps files.
Older versions of photoshop elements will open eps files.

How to resize canvas for this image?

I've watched Julianne Kost's tutorial on resizing canvas size but I can't figure out what to do with this photo.
Before you see it, here's what I'd like to achieve - white borders around this image (which is not 4x3) so that the entire image becomes 20x16.
Seems my image is only 1900x1200 so do I need to resize the image first?
Thanks for your help.

solved.
solution:
I have to wait till the loader finished loading and then i
can resize the image in this method.
private var loader:Loader;
private function addBgImage(base64Image:String):void{
var base64Decoder:Base64Decoder = new Base64Decoder();
base64Decoder.decode(base64Image);
var byteArray:ByteArray = base64Decoder.flush();
loader = new Loader();
loader.loadBytes( byteArray );
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
imgLoaded);
var img:Image = new Image();
img.addChild(loader);
this.addChild(img);
private function imgLoaded(event:Event):void{
loader.width = 100;
}

Adobe Air is very smiller than Zinc App - Reposition and Resize not working?

Hello guys, i have found and readden nice solution like NativeWindow was saved positions and sizes If i close Adobe Air App and i open again like NativeWindow was moved and resized. It is very simple working. And it works fine. 100 % Good! But how does it work with Zinc App because it doesn't work for positions and sizes. How do i fix? I have upgraded code from FileSerializer.as With mdm.Script:
package
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLStream;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
import mdm.Application;
import mdm.FileSystem;
import mdm.System;
public class FileSerializer
public static function WriteObjectToFile(object:Object, filename:String):void
var fileExists:Boolean = mdm.FileSystem.fileExists(mdm.Application.path+filename);
var outByte:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
outByte.writeObject(object);
if(fileExists == false)
mdm.FileSystem.saveFile(mdm.Application.path+filename, "");
mdm.FileSystem.BinaryFile.setDataBA(outByte);
mdm.FileSystem.BinaryFile.writeDataBA(mdm.Application.path+filename);
private static var stream:URLStream;
public static function ReadObjectfromFile(filename:String):Object
var fileExists:Boolean = mdm.FileSystem.fileExists(mdm.Application.path+filename);
if(fileExists == false)
var obj:Object;
stream = new URLStream();
stream.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(evt:Event):void
obj = stream.readObject();
stream.close();
stream.load(new URLRequest(filename));
return obj;
return null;
That is improved to mdm.Script and it saves sometimes.
And i have create UserPref.as
package
public class UserPref
public var zincForm:String = "MainForm";
public var zincType:String = "sizeablestandard";
//public var zincSWF:String = "MainApp.swf";
public var zincPosX:Number;

Cropping when moving and resizing a cropping rectangle

I created a program that crops an image and displays the cropped image but I'm trying to add more functionality
by making it movable and resizable. The rectangle moves and resizes but it only crops an image when user draws the rectangle and not when moved or resized. I know that the X,Y, height and width position of the rectangle would need to be updated but I'm not
sure how I can accomplish this being new to WPF. Below is my user control "CropControl and the code behind. Also, I'm implementing my code using MVVM framework.

Hello HotSawz,
The ResizeThumb and MoveThumb is not in your code so I cannot compile. Anyway, it is not the problem.
Anyway, can you clarify more details about "it only crops an image when user draws the rectangle and not when moved or resized", it is already normal behavoir for you to draw a rectangle and then move it. What kind of action do you want? Do you
mean some controls like this:

Photoshop elements organize not resizing window

Photoshop elements organizer 11 on a Mac 10.8. I cannot resize program window up/down.

today had the same problem, go to system preferences and choose screens ...
change the screen resolution and change again to the highest resolution. The elements window did resize in such a way that the little right low corner is again visible

I can not open timeline and the canvas can not display because out of memory.

I can not open timeline and the canvas can not diplay. I get a pop up saying "error out of memory" what does it mean and what can I do?

Usually this is because you've got graphics that are cmyk or grayscale not RGB, or that are larger than 4000 by 4000 pixels. Move them on your hard disk so fcp can't find them and make them rgb and resize to an acceptable pixel dimension.

Cropping multiple clips, then resizing canvas - how?

I've made a simple video in iMovie 10 that I'd now like the crop and resize. The tricky part is that there are 3 separate clips, so when I use the crop tool, they shift. I tried selecting all, then Edit/Connect, but that didn't seem to help. Once I figure out how to make the crop, I'd like to resize the canvas in order to create more whitespace around my subject (LCD display of a CDJ)
I realize my question may not be clear, so I've made a screencap of my iMovie workspace with annotations. Hopefully this will make sense to one of you helpful people!

Hi
I don't think You can do that in iMovie. (any version)
I would Export out and use QuickTime Pro to change this - then re-import the result to iMovie and movie project.
or rather - I would do this in - FinalCut Pro

Difference Between Trim and Fit Canvas

Prompted by my earlier request, if you do not "delete objects
when
cropping", then I have not picked up on the difference
between trim and fit
canvas. What is it?
Thanks,

I hadn't realized this either - the only difference that I
can see is
that 'Fit Canvas' will resize the canvas to include areas
outside the
existing canvas; Trim will resize to the current size or
smaller.
Try this experiment:
- Create a new canvas
- Draw a shape on it - any will do - which partially overlaps
the canvas
- Modify > Canvas > Trim Canvas
- ^Z (undo)
- Modify > Canvas > Fit Canvas
