Explosion effect for single Image in CS5

Hello All,
I was hoping for assistance on how to recreate an explosion effect like Flash 8 adn MX used to have. It seems to be missing now. It is not in the presets. I tried to break apart but something is missing. How can I accomplish this? I am trying to explode and IMAGE not TEXT. Particle tutorials seem to explode into hundreds of parts. Im looking for 12 to 16 exploded pieces. I'm not the great at AS2 or 3 but any assistance would be appreciation. Again this is for an image not text so the simple Break apart doesnt seem to be working. Please note I am Using Flash CS5.
Thanks in advance.

Explosion effect for single Image in Flash CS5

Thanks for the response but that is not what I need. I need to explode or better yet Break apart a simple image into maybe 12 or 16 pieces and move them off the screen. This used to be done by a Explode effect that was in an older version of Flash. I do not want to download additional software (tweenmax?). but I am ready to try simple AS3 or AS2 code if there is not way to do this. Again this in NOT text and I already tried to break it apart in small symbols but the whole image moves instead of the small piece I broke apart. Please help
Thanks in advance.

Resampling/sharpening script for single images

I ask a lot of questions in this forum, but rarely have anything to offer back. Here's an offering that may come in useful in certain situations.
Muppet Mark, a talented Applescript writer, has put together a script to my specifications for resampling and sharpening single images in InDesign. It works in CS2, 3 and 4.
The operation is as follows:
1. You select the image in InDesign.
2. The script resamples to an effective ppi (at printed size) of 300.
3. The script then calls on an Action SHARPEN which applies sharpening via a Smart Unsharp Mask. An edge mask is also applied.
The process is non-destructive, so if the default sharpening is not quite right, it can easily be changed by opening the image in PS.
The script, action and details of operation (148 kB) can be downloaded from:
http://www.mediafire.com/?mij5dnyhtcl
A CS4 test file (88 MB) to see the effect of the script can be downloaded from:
http://www.mediafire.com/?yeymmdievnv

Let me be the first to thank you. Not sure when I'll get a chance to test it, but it could come in handy.

Creative Wedding Transitions & Effects for Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 or CS5.5

Hi!
I am Professional Wedding Video Editor. before that i was using Pinnacle Studio 14 and Canopus Edius Pro but these Sucks, Now i have Intel Core i7 Extreme 64 bit OS and using Windows 7. I just Buye the Adobe Creative Suite 5. and soon i will Upgrade to Adobe CS5.5 . this is the Great Video Editing Software i Ever Seen. But i found some standard Dissolve & wipe Transitions in it.
My Question is that can i Use 3rd Party Creative Video Effects & Transitions with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5?
i want to know about thier names. that has Great transitions and smooth Transitions ever.
Thanks
Looking forward for Great Response.
Regards,
Waseem

Once, one could use the Hollywood FX Transitions (available from Pinnacle), but I believe that as of about CS4, that is no longer possible, but since Zac did not mention it (also, I think that Pinnacle no longer works with Hollywood FX, and they might be history?), I assume that CS5/CS5.5 does not support them either.
Pixelan (mentioned above) is a great resource for Transitons, and I recommed them highly.
I also have ProDAD's Adorage, but do not use those that often.
My normal Transitions are just Butt-cut, Cross-Dissolve and Dip-to-Black.
Good luck,
Hunt

OpenGL Best Only for Small Images in CS5?

I've been using Photoshop CS5 daily from shortly after the day it was released on my Windows 7 x64 system. I have a decent dual processor dual core w/hyperthreading workstation with 8 GB of RAM and a VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 4670 video card with 1GB of onboard video RAM. Mostly I've been editing relatively small images (10 to 20 megapixels), though I've successfully made some pretty big panoramas.
Outside of a few glitches, most of which were solved with 12.0.1 (i.e., things like crashing or stuck processes after shutdown), I've had very good results with Photoshop CS5.
I tried the various OpenGL settings, and since the "Basic" setting seems to stress OpenGL the least while still providing me access to the new OpenGL features (e.g., brush gestures), I have chosen that setting. Keep in mind this decision was also influenced by the sheer number of OpenGL-related issues being reported here.
However, in the past day I have been working on a rather larger image... Not huge, as Large images go, but large enough that it has caused me some unexpected Photoshop trouble. Basically, it's a set of 7 digital camera images of 10 megapixels arranged in a 12 x 36 inch layout at 600 ppi. Overall image size is 21,600 x 7200 pixels x 16 bits/channel. The image on disk is roughly a gigabyte. Here's a small version so you can see what I'm talking about...
I had this image in 2 layers - the images with transparent surround and outer bevel layer style, and the background blue. The customer wanted the images spread out a bit more so I undertook to do so - by lassoing sets of the images and moving them apart.
Here's where the trouble began. Some of the work involved zooming in, to say 250% or closer, to check alignment and to nudge things as needed.
While working on this image I find Photoshop gets quite sluggish, though it's not hard on the disk drive.
After I moved everything into place and did File - Save, my system simply froze as the progress bar reached 1 pixel shy of a full bar. That required a hard reset of the computer. No events were logged in the Windows System or Application logs.
I redid the work, and second time I did File - Save As... the dialog never came up. Photoshop just disappeared. Again, no errors logged.
Today I ran through the edit again, this time with OpenGL turned off. I found:
1. The system was nowhere near as sluggish when displaying the image at high magnifications. I could move things around easier.
2. I was able to complete the same edits again (the 3rd time) and File - Save As... successfully.
Today I upgraded my ATI drivers to Catalyst 10.6, re-enabled OpenGL in Photoshop, and went through the same edits on the same file a 4th time.
1. Same sluggishness as before when zoomed in.
2. After moving the images around, when I went to use the Spot Healing Brush Photoshop crashed: Unhandled Exception, 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000007e8ebb0.
I don't have Photoshop debugging symbols, but this is what the Call Stack showed in the debugger:
I will continue to experiment with this to see if I can isolate what's causing it, but the one key thing here is that it works with OpenGL turned off, and it fails in several ways with OpenGL turned on with a powerful, relatively modern video card.
-Noel

Thanks for your responses.
I'm investigating the Normal and Advanced settings with this same image as time permits.
So far I've been able to complete the same edits and save the file successfully with OpenGL set to Normal. Notably as well Photoshop was VERY much more responsive.
It's a very small sample size, but one might be forgiven for concluding that Photoshop has had the most testing with the OpenGL setting at default. I do plan to continue testing with this image, as it seems to be a good one for stressing the system and reproducing one or more problems.
I may have been wrong in my judgment that the Basic OpenGL setting stresses the system less.
As far as why I'm working with a 16 bit image and at this high a resolution, I am specifically pushing Photoshop hard since with a 64 bit system these things should be possible, and I haven't gotten a lot of experience working on big images with 12.0.1. While this particular image does not require it (especially for a 12 x 36 print) I often DO work on 1 gigabyte or more astroimages, and I just haven't had a good big one to work on lately.

Needed: Lightbox like behaviour for single images

Hi there.
CS5 with PHP MySql.
My question refers to this link as an example:

I want visitors, after clicking on the engine, to have in opened in lightbox style. The thing is that I could, up to now, only find Lightboxes that work with gallaries with more than one image.
I will appreciate it if someone could help me, please.

How do I change filename for single-image HTML pages in web gallery for LR 3

Hi,
I would like to change the default filename for the HTML pages produced by Lightroom 3 in the web gallery. Specifically, I would like to remove the string "_large" from the HTML filename, so it corresponds exactly to the image filename.
Specifically, the URL by default is like this:
http://www.mysite.com/content/_c_EMT2146_large.html
and I would like it to be like this
http://www.mysite.com/content/_c_EMT2146.html
I assume there is some way to make this change using the template editors, but I can't figure it out.
thanks,
James Riemermann

Turns out there's a fairly easy way to change that on Windows, but I can't figure out an equivalent on a Mac, which is where the need is. On windows, I can edit (after backing up) the following two config files:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.6\Shared\webengines\default_html.lrwebengine\grid.html
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.6\Shared\webengines\default_html.lrwebengine\manifest.lrweb
In which the "_large" string is appended and can be removed, following which the gallery works exactly as I would hope.
But I can't find the equivalent files on the Mac, though I would assume they exist.

Effect for making horizontal TV screen lines

I want to put part of a video in speeded up reverse and also add the lines so it looks like an old video tape fast reversing.
Is there a preset effect for this in AE CS5?
Kind of like what's in the image below:

Look for "bad TV" or "rewind" presets on ze web. There are a couple of them available, either from tutorials or direct downloads. There are even plug-ins (GenArts Sapphire, Digieffects, Boris Continuum) in many effects packages. Of course you can always build your own from effects like Venetian Blinds, Fractal Noise, various channel and distortion effects. All depends on your experience and what specific look you're after.

How do you set up and work single image variations?

Howdy Forum,
My question is L4 workflow related.
As everyone else, I select an image file and fiddled about in the `Develop` mode until I am happy with the result which is great.
The modified image is in the catalog which is also great.
On other occasions I may wish to revisit the `original`image file and perhaps fiddle about for a different result to that above.
What or how is the best way set up a process for single image variations?
Should I simply be creating a few `copies` in advance on my hard drive, then import them in the usual way?
Cheers

Read up on virtual copies and history states

Using photoshop elements 13 but the option to crop a single image is grayed out and also the option to crop a scanned image into individual pictures is grayed out - any ideas?

The option to crop an image is always grayed out or unavailable - both for single images and when I want to crop scanned images into individual pictures. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

Did you try using the crop tool to see if it is working? See the tool I am talking about.
I suspect you are in Guided Mode rather than in Quick Mode or Expert Mode.

Spry slide effect and loading image

I'm using a "slide down effect" for a image, but when open
the page in the browser, the image appear (for 1 second) before to
start the effect... is possible hidden the image and view it only
when the slide effect start?
thanks

Depending on how you want it handled, you can add a css style
to either the image or the div in order to hide it before the fade.
display:none;
or
visibility:hidden;

Recently downloaded a trial version of CC and when trying to use the Adjustment Brush in ACR it brings up the message 'All the local adjustment controls are set to have no effect on the image'. I've downloaded this as an update to CS5 on my new i Mac. W

Recently downloaded a trial version of CC and when trying to use the Adjustment Brush in ACR it brings up the message 'All the local adjustment controls are set to have no effect on the image'. I've downloaded this as an update to CS5 on my new i Mac. Would appreciate suggestions to remedy this. Rhonda

I think it means "the sliders are all 0 so painting adjustments with this brush won't change anything." In other words, move one of the sliders to a non-zero position, for example Exposure from 0 to 1.0, and then see what happens. You can edit the brush and change it to do something other than Exposure +1.

Is there a way to use a single bitmapdata for multiple images with GPU mode?

With GPU mode is there a way to bring in a single 1024 X 1024 png containing all my sprites and then slice it up into multiple display objects all refering to the original BitmapData?
I have an app that runs in GPU mode - but I want to optimize the image management.
I am making three sets of images in the orders of 2048, 1024 and 512 px.
The app is a book app and each page has around 4 to 5 bitmaps. I would like to bring in one single image and slice it up - but just refer to the original bitMapData in the memory.
Is there a way to do this - e.g. using a masking technique?
I think it is possible using textures in direct mode - but that is not an ideal solution for me - as the app is already in the appstore - and I would have to entirely refactor it for stage3D. Also I use very large bitmaps which have some masking animations applied to them dynamically: http://youtu.be/Nm0T1jLCTz8?t=42s
Currently, I use jpgs and a jpeg mask file for each image which I composite to get the alpha - then I scale them.
PNGs may be better for GPU - (no compositing) but they make for a huge app file.
Now I am converting it to use diffent sized assets depending on the device, then scaling them if need, and then compositing them for apha. What I was hoping was to find a technique that could reduce the number of bitmapdata objects used and reduce the operations in general.
Any thoughts on optimizing would be appreciated. I can add my code here if it helps.

How to export a whole process for a single image.

Good morning.
I would like to know how I can export a whole process for a single image. Is it possible? With that I can print of the way that goes better.
Thanks.

Hi Raghavendra,
Thanks for answering my query. I have created a transport request and exported the folder I need to take backup of. But when I tried testing import of the same request I am getting following error. Do you have any idea what is the cause of this error?

Access to security-relevant internal destination properties (e.g. passwords, tickets, etc.) is restricted to few selected engine components and not generally available to any service or application.
Kind Regards,

It is not unusual for me to have a half dozen + copies of a single image. I am not creating these additional images which appear spontaneously myself so system must be causing them. I have Elements 12 and operating system Windows 7.

I have Elements 12 and operating system Windows 7. It is not unusual for me to have a half dozen + copies of a single image. I am not creating these additional images myself, so must be the system. Deleting (including from the hard drive) does not help. Can anyone help please?

1- The only way for picture files to be automatically added to the catalog is to allow the 'watch folders' option in the file menu and not choosing to have the organizer warn you of any addition. If those files are already in the catalog they should be ignored, only new files should be added.
2- Otherwise, there is a downloader option to ignore duplicates when you import from camera or card reader to avoid importing several times from the same card.
The Organizer considers files are duplicate when they have the same 'date taken' and size in Kb.
