Filing in an image to fit a photo cut out

upgraded to keynote version 4. Now in placing an image in a photo cut out I can no longer fill in the area surrounding the image. In Inspector: graphics 'Fill' is not activated like it did previously. I cannot activate the pop up menu of Fill in anyway that I have found. For placement of the image, I use copy and paste then move the image to the photo cut out. I press graphics and can shadow but no fill.
thanks idc&tm

If you're working with one of Apple's themes, they do NOT use cutouts any longer, they use placeholders. Can you be a bit more clear as to what you're trying to do, and what theme you're using?

  • Need a little help simplifying an image so it can be cut out on a vinyl cutter

    Hi all, I'm after a bit of help.
    I'm wondering if I get hold on of say an image of a car, could I have this converted to black and white and then delete parts of it so that it can be cut out on a vinyl cutter?
    When converting it, I would like most of the image deleted but to keep the rough outlines and some shading etc so the image looks great and can be cut out on a cutter.
    I know I'm not explaining this too well but I hope you can understand what I mean.
    Many thanks,

    You might be in for quite a bit of work if you want to convert an image of a car to something that can be cut on a vinyl cutter and successfully turned into cut vinyl graphics. Not only do the resulting paths need to be clean, but all the line work must be large/thick enough in order to be successfully cut on the vinyl cutter and weeded by hand before applying release tape. Really thin line work can get chewed up by the plotter blade or it can get messed up when you're trying to weed away the negative vinyl areas of the cut graphics.
    The current live trace filter in Illustrator is not vinyl cutter friendly. The problem is it produces too many small objects that are too small to cut and it makes objects that are really stroked, open path segments. Vinyl cutting requires all of the paths to be closed. Sometimes I'll have better luck using the "Create Work Path" function in Photoshop for this sort of thing. Take a high contrast black and white or grayscale image, use the Color Range dialog box to create a selection and then use the Create Work Path command. It typically generates paths that are all closed. After that you do a little editing work to get rid of tiny objects too small to cut. Go to the File menu and select Export Paths to Illustrator.
    For the best results you have to digitize the paths by hand. It goes much faster if you have a graphics tablet.

  • Printed photos cut out part of the image!

    Just got my Mac 3 months ago........I transferred photos from Nikon Transfer software to iphoto. When I finished editing photos in iphoto I sent them to a desktop folder then burned them onto a disc. When my customer tried to print them it cut some of the heads off of the subjects. I shot them in a very high resolution so that my client could get the best photo quality for extra large prints, if she desired.
    Average size of photo is 3069 x 2337. Jpeg format
    Please help, as I am new to mac and want to re-burn the photos so that they may be printed smaller without loss of parts of the actual image (like peoples heads).
    Thanks SO much!!

    Crop them to the ratio that your friend will be printing - 4:6, 5:7, 8:10 - what ever
    Digital photos form point and shoot cameras typically are in a 4:3 ratio and from a DSLR in a 3:2 ratio - they are probably printing is a different ratio

  • Audio is great in iDVD preview, when Disk image is burned it cuts out

    My project works great in iMovie and iDVD in the preview state. When I burn a disk image though, the sound keeps cutting out within the last 7 or so minutes of my video.
    It worked when I burned a dvd a few weeks ago, but since then, I went back and edited a few more pictures to what i had previously had, and shared it in the media browser. It looks great in iDVD. But now the sound is not consistent. It cuts out in the middle of a song.
    Help?

    I went back and edited a few more pictures to what i had previously had, and shared it in the media browser.
    The best advice I can give you is to create a NEW iDVD project. Sometimes iDVD is 'unhappy' when you edit the video in an existing project.

  • Fitting a photo or image to the photo box size

    I cant always set the photo to fit the photo box size in iPhoto when designing a book.
    How do you do this?
    Can someone help me please?

    That is the way you do it so if it is not working for you we need more information on what you want to accomplish, what you are doing,what happens and what does not happen
    Another way to skin the cat is to be sure your photos are in a 4:3 ratio by cropping them - that is the ratio of the frames - as long as you are placing a 4x 3 ratio photo it will fit the frame

  • Can I resize a Quick Selected image so it fits when I cut and paste it on a different background.

    Can I resize a Quick Selected image so it fits when I cut and paste it on a new background? I am trying to take a photo of someone and place it on a different background. The Quick Selected image is too big when I paste it on the background. You can only see a small portion of the persons head.

    Open the photo, then go to Image>resize>image size. Read what the resolution is in px/in.
    Get out of this screen. Then use one of the selection tools to select the person, go to Edit>copy to put it on the clipboard
    Now, go to File>new>blank file. Enter width & height, and the same resolution value.
    Go to Edit>paste. The person will be on a separate layer. Use the move tool to position, and, to resize with the corner handles, if necessary
    Note: For printing, it is desirable to have the resolution in the 240-300px/in range. For web work, 72 px/in is ok

  • How do you cut out the part of an image in a photo?

    How do you cut out a part of an image on a photo that you have added to Pages. For example, if I have added a picture of a giraffe to Pages how would I cut out the giraffe from the image and get rid of the rest of the image

    You can use the instant alpha tool to make the background transparent.
    FYI: Pages is part of iWork, not iLife.

  • How do you reduce the pixels of an image to fit within certain requirements

    I am trying to get the pixels of an image to fit certain requirements. When I try to edit the image in iPhoto by clicking custom constrain and then enter the pixel of dimensions I want, it will not adjust the image to them. Does anyone know how I can do this?

    Select the pic in the iPhoto Window and go

  • Changing image size on a photo page

    Is there any way to increase the size (in detail or slideshow view) of images on an iWeb "photos" page?
    I've made several "photos" pages in iWeb by dragging images from aperture or iPhoto into iWeb, but the pictures always end up almost uselessly small/low-resolution on the resulting web page (even after clicking on a thumbnail or opening the slideshow). I mean: a 10 megapixel image ends up filling about 1/4 of a typical web browser screen. Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks!
    -Mike

    For Album and photo pages the default large viewing size is 800 x 600 pixels. On some computers they are displayed smaller. There are a number of topics on this subject and there may be a connection to the graphic card being used. Not sure though. The workaround for this is to use a different type of presentation which will let you set the display size of the image.
    One such presentation is via Jalbum which has over 100 skins/themes to choose from. This demo page has a couple of examples: Jalbum Examples.

  • Preview doesn't display images to fit window

    I'm running OSX 10.6.8 on a 27" iMac, and when I enlarge the Preview window to fit the screen (by dragging the corner), the images don't enlarge. They seem to be stuck at about 1920 pixels wide (at a guess) instead of 2560 wide. I can zoom in, but I want the images to exactly fit the window. Preferences > Scale large images to fit window doesn't work, neither does View > Zoom to fit (which is grayed).
    Any suggestions as to how I make images fit the window?

    Hi, Guy Burns,
    What is the resolution of the images you try to enlarge?
    My guess:
    If the resolution of your images is lower then 2560 wide (your screen resolution), the window will open with the exact size and resolution of the picture (for instance 1920 wide). i.e. One pixel on your screen equals one pixel of your picture.You can indeed enlarge the window and zoom in, but then you are enlarging pixels, the image will get less sharp.
    The "Scale large images to fit window" function, is meant for "large images" as the name implies, so images with a larger resolution then your screen resolution. With this function, you can reduce the size of images that would otherwise not fit entirely on your screen, to the necessary size to view the whole picture as big as possible. So this function does not work if the "scale" is 100% or more.
    In slideshow mode however, there's a function to automatically adapt the size of smaller images to "full screen", and also "quicklook" (spacebar) supports full screen mode.

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
