Example of creating one big image castmember from many

Hi
We have a puzzle, build out of meny small image castmember
(rectangles and
numbers)
Rextagles are filled with some texture, numbers are layed
over reactangles
What I need is to create one castmember, containing completet
puzzle, with
all small pieces on their places
Is it possible to do without xtras?
Please send me sosome example of code?
I thought about DirectImage or Ravware Image Xtra, probably
some have
examples using these xtras
Thanx in advance,
any help will be appreciated
Yurij

But I also need to export then created image castmember
Is there a way to export image without xtras?
I need most formats, min is BMP and JPG
If xtra is required, what is the best in price and quality?

Creating Very Big images from Flex

Hi,
I am trying to create a small image manipulator. In which I am having Some image in background and then I am adding other
images, text etc. to it and capturing bitmapdata of the entire canvas and saving the image at the server side. Now my issue is that I want to convert those images (created from flex bitmapdata via byteArray ) to very large images i.e. in the dimenstions of the feets.Can any body suggest how to acheive this.As i tried to scale the bitmapdata the quality gets down repildly. And again there is the limiations of the size in bitmap data,and hence my am far enough from my
actual requirement.
Thnx in Advance,
Shardul Singh

This code works:
public class ImagePanel extends JPanel
Image bufferedImage;
Image grass;
//grass image is loaded up here;
public void paint(Graphics g)
          super.paintComponent(g);
          bufferedImage = createImag(15*increm,14*increm);
          Graphics bufferedGraphics = bufferedImage.getGraphics();
          bufferedGraphics.drawImage(grass, 0, 0, this);
          bufferedGraphics.drawImage(grass, 32,32, this);
          bufferedGraphics.drawImage(grass, 64,64, this);
          g.drawImage(bufferedImage, 0, 0, this);
However this code does not:
public class ImagePanel extends JPanel
Image bufferedImage;
Image grass;
//grass image is loaded up here;
public void setUpImage()
bufferedImage = createImag(15*increm,14*increm);
          Graphics bufferedGraphics = bufferedImage.getGraphics();
          bufferedGraphics.drawImage(grass, 0, 0, this);
          bufferedGraphics.drawImage(grass, 32,32, this);
          bufferedGraphics.drawImage(grass, 64,64, this);
public void paint(Graphics g)
setUpImage();
          super.paintComponent(g);
          g.drawImage(bufferedImage, 0, 0, this);
I want to have a method that sets the image up so I can move it around, add to it, take away from it, etc. that is what I want setUpImage() to do. I can't figure out why it works if I do it the first way and not the second way.

Changing text to one big image

Hello, I'm trying to use a .pdf i made years ago and came accross again at work. The only problem is I no longer have the same fonts I had back then so when I open it up it keeps prompting to change the fonts and is basically scewing up the form. Is there a way to tell Designer that the 2 pages are just 2 big images so that I can add text box's on top of it where I please?
(if not, is there a way to do it with Acrobat?)

You can use Acrobat to save your PDF out to an image. It will create one image per page. Then in designer place an image object with the newly created background page onto your body pages first. The place text fields over it.
Can't guarantee it'll look good though.

How to split one big master clip into many?

Hi,
This is probably a simple question for you pros. Thank you for reading.
I have film that I've telecined onto a DV. However, FCP imported a one hour tape as one big master clip. Is there a way I can split this master clip into several small clips so I can organize my project?
Does that make sense?
Thank you in advance,
Nik

Since you telecined onto DV I guess there are no Date&Time gaps between scenes, so you cannot use DV Start/Stop Detect. Then the only way I can think of is to do it manually: open the clip in the viewer, select the first scene by setting its IN and OUT points, edit to the timeline, back to the viewer select the next scene setting a new pair of IN and OUT points, edit to the timeline, etc.
If you prefer you can move each new clip to the browser, and collect them together into a bin, before editing them to the timeline.

How to create one clean image from multiple shots?

I tried searching, but I really don't know how to search for this so I came up empty.
I have multiple pictures of the same product but had to focus on different parts to get those parts in focus. As you can imagine, this meant other parts were out of focus.
I seem to remember during one of the "CS3 is cool" seminars I attended that something along the lines of what I'm hoping to do is possible.
I would like to merge these images together to form one image with everything in focus. Exposure is the same on each of them.
Is this possible (and if so, how) or am I dreaming?
Using PS Extended.

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. I'll give those a shot and see if they work enough. If it looks like it'll take too long right now, I'll just try to find a better angle where I can get it "good enough" as I have many more pictures I need to take of cables and wires.
Super fun.
To answer some of the questions posed to me:
I looked at photomerge, but that looked to me like more of a way to make panaramic (sp?) pictures from multiple shots. I may tinker with that a bit though as it's something I'd like to use for other things as well.
I don't need this very often so this would not be a common practice, but if I knew how to do it, that would open some more options for me and I'd likely do it more often but still not regularly.
It's not a super closeup, though I've had need of this operation on those in the past; wound up just shooting differently and settling for second or third best.
I don't use what anyone would call a photo studio. It's a 4x8' piece of styrene tacked to the wall and a fold-up 6' table in a room with flourescent lighting (please try to restrain your laughter). The company's camera, while decent, is very old: Sony DSC-D770. This is why I bought my own Sony DSC-F828 2-3 years ago. Not the best but much better (the tiny-to-sometimes-larger purple haze around most edges is what bugs me the most). And my setup is just my camera on a tripod. I'm not fooling myself about my skills at photography; I'm very small-time, but I still need my shots to look good.
(Out of respect for actual photgraphers, I don't even call myself a photographer. I "shoot product photos" or "do product photography" which still sounds a bit too lofty, but....)
The product itself is the Velleman TLM12, a test tweezer for SMD devices. I'd like to get a "long" shot of it but that angle makes the tip and leads get out of focus in most shots and they're tiny so it's really noticable. I can get every part in sharp focus in 3-4 shots, but not in one at the angle I'm hoping to get.
I use a macro lense when I need to get big pictures of 1" connectors and the sort, but this is way too big for that and the macro has a very small area of what would be in focus so this problem would be compounded far more than I'm experiencing now.
I think layer masks might be the quickest way to achieve what I'm trying for here. Like I said, I don't need this often but if I knew how, I'd do it more frequently and might even create an action to do this faster.
Thanks again, everybody. HUGE help. :)

How can I import several small audio files to create one BIG file in iTunes

I have ONE cd with THREE audio stories contained in EIGHTEEN audio files (6 files make each story). I also have an iMac. Not sure if they're mp3 or not, but they play on computers and car radios.
How can I take this CD, whisper abracadabra and end up with three files (each with one story)? Don't need to re-burn a CD, but just need to get them on to an iPod.
I've tried inserting the CD and using the right mouse click/info/options to select 6 files and identify them as a 'gapless album' - but this did not link the files together.
Any help you can offer would be appreciated. I have read pages & pages of topics, but could not find this particular issue.

Insert the CD.
Don't Import it yet.
Select the CD in iTunes.
Select the consecutive tracks uyou want joined as one file.
Go to menu Advanced > Join CD tracks.
Do this for each set of tracks you want as one file.
Then Import the CD.
If the tracks are already in iTunes, no need to import them again.
Use this -> Join Together
"Join Together automates the process of joining the files of selected iTunes tracks together with QuickTime and exporting them as a single AAC Music or Audiobook file/track. Optionally, you can then create a "chapterized" audio file of the exported AAC file with pointers to the individually joined tracks."

Creating booklet: Should image files from illustrator be in PDF format??

Good morning,
Over the weekend i got thinking about a image booklet i am looking to create. Despite being a newbie, i feel as though i have made great strides in becoming familiar with both Indesign and Illustrator.
Having created artwork in Illustrator i am trying to determine the best format for placing my images into Indesign.
What i have been expecting to do is to convert the Illustrator files into pdf's and then placing these into my Indesign template. This is what i have been doing on my drafts. Seems there is no quality loss, however i am worried about the size of the file since it is predominatley image based.
I have no need to edit the link once i have finished the artwork in Illustrator IMHO.
Please bear in mind this is booklet is being sent to a commercial printers and being printed on a litho.
Could any of the wise sages on these forums guide me?
Kind Regards,
Don

Hi Don
There really shouldn't be any need to convert your Illustrator files to PDF - the .ai format is (unless you specifically deselect the option on save) a PDF compatible file.

Unable to open images/photos from many webpages. My settings?

'''I notice this with Stumble Upon and some websites. Could it be my setting are the problem ? which ones?'''

First of all, if you don't know much about how applications work inside of the OS, its wise to not look in the application folder(s). Deleting anything here can make your apps go haywire. If this happened, then you are best to 1)unregister photoshop, 2) uninstall your entire suite. 3) reinstall the suite and finally 4) reregister photoshop.
All images/textures/photo's including dng, cr2 and nef files need to be stored in your pictures folder and no where else, unless you're an intermediate user on your OS. In your pictures folder you can create folders for organizing the pictures whether by location, season's, time, or file format.
Then when you back up you can just drag a copy of the files to another drive including cd's or dvd's.
This will make sure you don't accidently delete important app files.
All this said, my OS of choice is Windows, so if anything does not sound right, thats why.
Hopefully this helps...

Can we create one repository from different data Source

Hi Experts
I have one doubt
1. Can we create one repository in OBIEE from different source like..
I have three Database(Oracle) and i want to create one single repository from different source.
2. If my Database are different like(Oracle,DB2,Teradata..)
Thanks in advance
Regards
Frnds

Hi..
Yes It's possible to create a repository from different datasources, provided there should be different DSN for each...
If it's ORACLE, we can import objects from OCI directly.. by mentioning the TNS Name, without creating DSN
Thanks & Regards

More small datafiles or one big datafile for tablespace

Hello,
I would like to create a new tablespace (about 4 GB). Could someone if it's better to create one big datafile or create 4 datafiles with 1 GB each?
Thank you.

It depends. Most of the time, it's going to come down to personal preference.
If you have multiple data files, will you be able to spread them over multiple physical devices? Or do you have a disk subsystem that virtualizes many physical devices and spreads the data files across physical drives (i.e. a SAN)?
How big is the database going to get? You wouldn't want to have a 1 TB database with 1000 1 GB files, that would be a monster to manage. You probably wouldn't want a 250 GB database with a single data file either, because it would take forever to recover the data file from tape if there was a single block corruption.
Is there a data files size that fits comfortably in whatever size mount points you have? If you get 10 GB chunks of SAN at a time, for example, you would probably want data files that were an integer factor of that (i.e. 1, 2, or 5 GB) so that you can add similarly sized data files without wasting space and so that you can move files to a new mountpoint without worrying about whether they'll all fit.
Does your OS support files of an appropriate size? I know Windows had problems a while ago with files > 2 GB (at least when files extended beyond 2 GB).
In the end though, this is one of those things that probably doesn't matter too much within reason.

How to create one PDF consisting of Multiple one page PDFs?

Hello,
i created an Adobe Form for the CRM activity type task.
Now the user is able to print his task or to save it as PDF which is fine.
But if a user has a list of tasks the requirement is to create one big pdf document where for each entry of the table the PDF task is attached.
The interface of my ADOBE Form has as input parameter the CRMT_OBJECT_ID, which is one single task.
Could one of you experts please provide me the steps to create one big document for a table of CRMT_OBJECT_IDs? If possible without changing the adobe form and the interface.
Thank you
Kind regards
Manfred

Here is the blog: How to deal with SAP-standard Adobe forms
/people/otto.gold/blog/2010/05/06/how-to-deal-with-sap-standard-adobe-forms
but now I wonder if that is so relevant to your problem as I though before. You said it you created the form, so you can change it in any way. The blog explains where and how to change the part of the coding and form design,but since your form is not standard SAP, you don´t need mostof the explanations.
Back to your question: In my opinion you cannot use the same form template to create a "big form". You need to embed all the data from interface into a single structure, use it as a row of a table, pass a table of the objects into the interface and enhance all the binding within the form. You also need to embed all your current form design in a subform for "table of data" and "one row", because all your form content means "we are fields of the single row of the table".
Seems easy for me, but I am afraid it is not that easy to describe it and I don´t know anything about your prior Adobe forms experience.

Does 1 big image = slower performance, even if only 10% of it is drawn?

Hey, I want to make a tile based game, but I was wondering... If I created a large image thats bigger than the game window based on the tile data, would it be slow to draw this image in the window, even if only %25 of the image is ever seen due to the smaller size of the window? (Is it automaticaly clipped?)
Or is it better to just draw the current viewable tiles over and over instead of creating one large image?
In case your wondering, this is for a RTS game, that will involve the world map being scrollable.

In a nutshell, yes.
As you have written it, Java will load the entire image into memory and treat the resulting block of memory as one "continous block" as far as operations go. If you decided to clip 25% of the image, you will have to write a routine that determines the boundaries of the visible region, and Java then will have to determine the memory addresses of that region and copy the relevant details to the buffer. In other words, you still have to calculate what region to display.
(I'm glossing over the details, I just want to give you enough background so that you can make an informed decision based on your needs.)
Java does automatically clip if you tell it to draw two overlapping regions but you still have to specify which region has priority.
The alternative is to break the image down into tiles. Each tile likewise takes up a chunk of memory but you can eliminate all redundant tiles. That is, if you want to show a 5x5 square of grass, you can instruct the game to draw the 1x1 square of grass 25 times as opposed to the one 5x5 tile, and the smaller tile takes up less memory. More importantly, you can choose to update only the relevant tiles as the player travels across the map. I.e., player moves left. Draw new tile in spot player just vacated. Leave rest of map untouched.
So to answer your question, which approach is better depends on exactly what you want to do and what your hardware constraints are. Some people would even suggest mixing and matching, using the clipping feature to draw the player tile on top of the visible portion of the map.
A hint: decide whether you want the player to remain stationary while the world scrolls underneath him (use tiles) or if you want the player to move around while the world stays stationary (use large image).

Creating multiple links from one map image in Flash CS4

I have been tasked with creating multiple links from one map image using flash. Each link would go to the main website page with that location. I assume I could create a button for each location on the map but not having a lot of experience any help / tutorial you know of would be super helpful.. Thanks! Not looking for someone to work me thru it but a little guidance would be great!

If I was to answer the problem, I would be giving you what you asked not to be given... the solution. So I'll suggest that you start by researching the getURL() function. That is what AS2 uses for opening web pages.
As for coding a button, I'll recommend the following article for you... it will explain the proper approach to coding a button, which will give you an advantage over others who don't follow it, but instead use the way the article says not to.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/as_bestpractices_04.html
Google is one of the best resources available for learning how to do things with Flash--it's the first place I go when I have a wondering. In general, if you type in the right keywords, you get fairly good search results. In your case, combinations of "AS2", "button", "getURL", "tutorial" would probably work well.

Creating a Disk Image from Compressor Fails

Hpefully some one can help me out here.
Here's whats going on and I've tried this on 2 different systems (iMac 24 inch OSX 10.9.4,Nvidia GeForce GT750M 1 GB, 3.1 Ghz i7 Processor 1 TB Fusion Drive, 16 gigs of ram & a iMac 27 Inch OSX 10.9.4 Nvidia GeForce GTX780M 4GB, 2.5 Quad-Core i7, 16 gigs of ram 1 TB Fusion Drive, both have the USB Super Drive from Apple connected to them)
Both are running Compressor 4.1.2. I'm trying to make a disk image from a Apple Pro Res 422 HQ Quicktime 29.97 DF (drop frame, NTSC) The file is big since it's HQ so it takes a while to compress. I'm using the Create DVD preset in compressor and choosing " When Done: Create DVD" then below that "Output Device: Hard Drive" Because I want to have a disk image for back up and future burning so I don't have to tie up any systems doing this again.
It get's the the very end where it has that disk burning icon come up on the dock and then a warning comes up saying that there was a "error making the disk" and then that's it. I want to be able to create a disk image. Old compressor (3.what ever) works great, takes a lot longer to compress things but at least I haven't run into this issue with it.
I've had my destination set to the internal drive's, external drives .... you name it I've tried to save it in different places. I've added a background picture, removed it, nothing seems to work ....
Please help and much appreciated if you can help me out here.
Cheers

Yes it is. This should help you.

Create Quad Print Image from 4 image files

Many print programs facilitate a layout of 4 pictures (my preference - others available) in one image to print. How would I go about creating a single image that contains 4 pictures or files in a single jpg file? can it be done? This is not a question about print. It is about creating a single file from 4 seperate files (images).

Ron,
1. Open new, blank file. For example: Size 8x10, resolution 300 px/in, color RGB, background - white.
2. Resolution for printing should be 240-300 px/in for good result. It is desirable that resolution of the component pictures be about the same. Check in Image>resize>image size.
3. Copy/paste each picture to the background set up in step #1. Each picture will be on its own layer
4. Use move tool to position the pictures, and to resize with the corner handles while holding down the shift key.
HTH,
Ken
