Fitting an Image into another - Macromedia Fireworks 2004

I have two images one has a border, and inside the border is
white space, I would like the other image to go inside here, but
have no idea how to do it. If instead of white space it was clear
in the first image I could simply bring it to front over the other
image, however this is not the case. Can someone please help

Select the white space with the magic wand. Choose Select

Marquee to Path. Place the photo you want inside the white
area over the
new path, and then cut it to the clipboard (Edit > Cut).
With the path
selected, choose Edit > Paste Inside.

  • __Can I merge one large Bitmap image into another?

    __Can I merge one large Bitmap image into another?
    I have 2 very large hi-res Bitmaps that I want to merge together into 1 file without converting to grayscale or anything. The problem is the second Bitmap is like a 'patch' and I want to insert it into the other like a puzzle piece, while maintaining corect registration (the bitmaps combine to a 4 colour seperation).
    Thanks in advance!

    1bit Bitmap offers no layer capabilities so going through grayscale seems advisable. (Edit: Naturally one should at the end of the combination process convert to bitmap again.)
    Other than that you could after pasting remove parts of the pasted content with the selection tools (setting them to subtract with alt).

  • Is it possible to clone one part of an image into another in iphoto?

    Since it is not possible in Aperture to clone one part of an image into another photo is it possible in iphoto?

    No.  You will need to use an image editor that can handle layers.
    Some Image Editors that support  layers:
    Photoshop Elements 9 for Mac - $79
    GraphicConverter - $45
    Rainbow Painter - $30
    Imagerie - $38
    Acorn - $50 Pixelmator - $60 
    Seashore - Free
    Portraits and Prints - Free
    GIMP for Mac - Free
    Of those I believe you get the most bang for the buck with PSE 9.  The following are some of the advanced editing you can do with it:
    Click to view full size

    Additional possible candidates for editors can be found by searching for "edit" at MacUpdate.com.

  • How to clone one part of an image into another

    Is it possible in Aperture to clone one part of an image into another or as in windows fuse the photos together?
    Thanks

    This points directly to the difference between a digital image conversion and development program, and a graphics program.
    Development programs' tools adjust the color and luminance information in each pixel.  They do not (mostly) add any information to the pixels or to the image.
    Graphics programs are built around adding information to images (or blank canvases).  Rectangles, circles, text, other images -- these are all graphics elements which are combined to make a new image.
    Aperture is the former (and also a superb digital asset manager).
    The generalized workflow is this:
    Capture information using a digital camera
    Optimize that information (make the picture as good as possible) using an image development program
    Combine pictures and graphics elements to make new graphics using a graphics program
    There are many excellent graphics programs.  Photoshop is the best known and most used.

  • Copying Folders, but not images into another Catalogue

    Hi,
    I currently have two external hard drives where I have all my bird photos classified into folders by the name of the bird. There are more or less a hundred. I have one external hard drive where I import all the photos to and the other external where I backup the first external hard drive every night. They are getting full and I will soon have to purchase two more, but I was wondering how I could export all the folder hierarchy into the new external hard drive. It surely will be a chore to have to create each one again.
    Thank you!
    Gloria

    I tend to agree that it doesn't make sense to make a whole new parallel set of folders merely for disk space reasons. Equally, it makes no sense to have a new Catalog per drive. All that would be tedious to do and then doubly tedious to maintain, for example if a new folder is required in both places. Lightroom's Catalog can work just as easily with images stored on one drive, as on another, or across both.
    So moving perhaps half of the present set of folders, assuming there is some sensible way to divide them (even if that is just A-M, and N-Z) onto the new drive, would allow you to continue using them there, with space to add more images into the same folders (alongside the present ones) and managed by the same Catalog.
    It would also allow you to continue using the ones that remain on their current drive, with space now to add more images there, again managed by the same Catalog.
    If in future some of these need to move around again to other drives (say, you buy a setup large enough to store it all) then that is no problem.
    Or if the new drive is big enough, all the images and their folders could move there... which would then need a minimal and trivial change so far as your current Catalog is concerned (a couple of clicks to re-browse the parent location of the entire "tree" full of birds). Everything carries on functionally either side of this kind of a behind-the-scenes change.
    Analogy: the actual nature and current location of the money in my bank account is of no real interest to me, so long as money's available when I require it, and so long as I have confidence that good practice is happening which will avoid the bank going out of business or refusing to let me have my money in the future. The bank is in fact moving this money around constantly; lending it, investing it and so on. And by virtue of my relationship with the bank, all kinds of services become possible, which would not be if I just stacked banknotes under the mattress. The account balance on the ATM screen - or to return to LR, the fact that the image still works - is what matters to me the customer.

  • How do I insert part of one image into another in Elements 8?

    I am testing Elements 8 and would like to, for example, take an eagle from one image and insert it into another.  I've done this with other editing programs, but can't see how to do it here.  If one is to use layers, then I have another problem.  How does one open layers from more than one image in the palettes?

    You can only view the layers of one image at a time. I believe E8's default setting is a maximized setting which allows for only one image in the workspace. If you change the setting in the menu to Cascade, you can have several images open in your workspace. I believe, that's under Window<Arrange.  The layer's palette will display whichever image is currently selected.
    There are several ways to do it. Here are a couple...
    Copy/Paste...
    One way is to select the eagle with a selection tool...magnetic lasso whatever...then copy the eagle into your clipboard. Edit<copy. (Shortcut = Ctrl + C on PC; Cmd + C on Mac).
    Open the second image then paste. (Shortcut = on PC Ctrl + V; on Mac Cmd + V). This will add the eagle to the current image. Use the move tool to position the eagle.
    Drag/Drop...
    Alternately, change window<Arrange in the menu bar to Cascade. This will allow you to have more than one image in your workspace.
    Open both images. Select eagle with a selection tool. Once selected, switch to the move tool. Drag eagle into second image.
    Alternately, you could also lift the eagle to it's own layer then drag it over using the move tool. Release the mouse button when you are over the second image to drop the eagle. (Shortcut to lift selected eagle from the background to it's own layer = on PC Ctrl + J; on Mac = Cmd + J.)
    Note: Both images should be the same or close to same resolution. The image that is dragged will adjust (resize) to match the background image resolution. (Low resolution images dragged into high resolution images are tiny whereas high resolution images dragged into low resolution images would be huge).

  • Placing an image into another one

    Please help me with the following problem:
    I'm trying to place an image inside another one. So, I used the magntic lace tool to make the selection, and then copied it and pasted it onto the other image, but only the outline of the shape appeared.
    At first, only a white shape of the image appeared, but after changing some settings (I don't remember which) only the outline of the shape came up. I want the actual image to appear! How can I do this?

    Thank you for that. The cracker package appears to only be the Background (Frondo) Layer, so there should not be an issue with the wrong Layer there.
    I'd run that test mentioned, and just use the Rectangular Marquee Selection Tool, to do a rough outline of the cracker package. You will be on the Background Layer, so that a Copy should capture all of the pixels in the Selection. Then, go to the shot of the men, and Paste. Depending on the resolution of the two Images, you might need to do a Ctrl+T (Free Transform), to Scale, Rotate and also locate that new Layer to suit. Note: to constrain the Aspect Ratio of the pixels in that Pasted Layer, just click on a corner (little square), and hold down the Shift key. You can locate the Layer, as required, by either click-dragging inside the Bounding Box, or by using the cursor keys, or Shift+cursor key (larger increment of movement), until satisfied. Then hover the mouse's cursor outside the Bounding Box, but near a corner, and you will then see an arc with two arrowheads. Just click and move the cursor to Rotate. When done and satisfied, hit Enter, or Dbl-click inside the Bounding Box.
    That should do the trick. If not, then please let us know more.
    If all is well, it's a simple matter to create a Layer Mask for the cracker package Layer. To create that Layer Mask, one can use an number of Selection Tools, or the Pen Tool to create a Path to be turned into a Selection (my choice for situations similar to yours), that will become your Layer Mask to hold back the extra background pixels from the Rectangular Marquee. The beauty of a Layer Mask is that you can always go in and refine it. You can also directly paint onto, or paint away that Layer Mask. By using a small, soft-edged Brush, you can refine the Mask neatly. If you make a mistake there, or wish to add/remove from that Mask, just hit the X key to swap the colors of the Brush from black to white and back. I like Layer Masks for the level of refinement, and also for the ability to come back in and edit, as all you are doing is holding those extra pixels out of the Image, years later. Just be sure to do a Save_As PSD with the Layer and Layer Mask.
    Good luck, and hope this helps,

  • Trying to fit "long" images into Widget Gallery

    Hi-
    I have several png's that are around 800px wide and 120px high.
    I'm struggling with trying to find a way to fit into gallery widget.  I've tried several things and can't seem to widget to be at that dimension so the entire image is visible.
    I've researched the forums and can'ts seem to find an answer.
    Please tell me what I am missing.
    Best,
    Matt

    I could get 2 images 800X120 px into the gallery widget to show completely. The widget margin had to be 45 because of the min size restrictions of the widget. So if you change the background color of the widget to be same as that of the page it is on, the extra space of the widget will blend and your images will look 800X120 as they are supposed to. Is this what you were trying to to?

  • How do I feather one image into another?

    I want to make the black area look as though it does not have a hard edge but actually fades into the lighter grey behind it, but in a way so that the fade still describes the shape of the black area. I also don't want any of the darker colour to bleed into white space - I want all the fading to be contained in the light grey.
    For context, this image is a river in its current state (the black) and the light grey is the floodplain of the river. The effect I want is for the river to appear as though it moves within the floodplain rather than look like a fixed line on  a map.
    Does anyone know if this is possible?

    I ended up selecting the black river area, and making a new layer, and expanding the selection by 100pixels - filling that with a slightly lighter black, and then using the eraser with transparency to create the fading effect around the river.

  • Colours desaturate when I copy and paste an image into another file

    I'm using Illustrator CS4 with Windows Vista, 4GB RAM. I've created an image using lots of gradients and different shades of colour, and have tried copying it into a new file, but all the colours in the copied image are desaturated. For instance, a blue with an RGB value of 95 179 255, becomes 114 174 223 in the copied image. All the colours are similarly desaturated. It's very annoying! Anyone had a similar problem, or have any idea what's happening?

    Jacob,
    I am using Illustrator CS (ver.11.0.0) and all of my docs are cmyk. It might help you to know that this: the cmyk values in the original document were assigned as: c100 m55 y0 k0. When I close the doc and reopen it, the values change to: c93.74 m55.69 y2.35 k0. I don't understand why. Can you help?

  • Place a image into another image

    I cut out a section of a image I wanted to use for a project then I tried to paste into the new project and it pasted with nothing there only a new layer was created without the section of the image I tried to cut. Am I doing something wrong? What is the actual process?

    Like the Silkrooster has told you, (do you have name Silkrooster?) not easy to say.  You could try using Free Transform on the pasted layer.  If the layer is empty you'll get an error message.  If it has some pixels in it, the free transform bounding box will show you how big it is - even if it overspills the canvas size.
    One possibility is that you selected the are you wanted to paste into the new image, but didn't then copy the selection (Ctrl c or Cmd c).

  • Resize after dragging into another image

    This is my first post here. I have been a Photoshop user for years, but just upgraded to a new computer and CS5 Windows. While using CS2 I often would drag an image into another image and then resize it so that it looked the way I wanted in the new image. Now, when I drag an image into another, I can't resize it. What do I need to turn on or off. Files are the same format and bit depth.
    Thanks
    Paul

    Are you saying the way you were set up before, you immediately saw the resizing handles, and you could drag them to resize?
    I know there's an option for that, but finding it...  Always a challenge...
    Ah, found it.  Do this:
    1.  Activate the Move tool (4 way arrow cursor) in the Tools panel.
    2.  Check the [ ] Show Transform Controls box at the top of the main Photoshop window.
