Fitting image into a custom outline?

Hey, I recently started using Illustrator and Photoshop, and I need some help.
So I have an image that just uploaded. I would like to make that image fit perfectly into a shape.
For example, lets say I have a picture of a patch of grass, and an outline of a small hill. I want that patch of grass to be inside the outline of small hill and then I can stretch and edit and fit it perfectly.
Is there any way I can do that? If not on Illustrator on photoshop.
Also, I have an image that I uploaded of a an oversized jacked that I want to make slimmer, is there anyway way to do that? I used liquify but it turned out really weird.
Thanks in advance.

You should first make clear if you are doing stuff in Photoshop or in Illustrator. This forum is about Illustrator, so people assume you are using it. And while there are concepts that work in both, you still need to do it differently.
Second: please read the documentation or you won't understand a word of what people are trying to tell you. There is ne easy recipe in complex software.

How to read and display a fits image into JPanel

Hi,I currently want to read a .fits file and display it in JPanel,have no idea how to achieve it.Any suggestions and source codes are appreciated.Thanks in advance!

fits stands for flexible image transport system,it defined only for astronomy image data.it is not normal image,I am afraid I can not use the way you said to read fits file.Anyway,thanks a lot.

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.:
https://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements/content
If you do have Photoshop proper, please provide the exact version number of that application and of your OS.

Images not fitting correctly into boxes

Hi there,
I'm trying to recreate a website something similar to this:
http://www.parisihavens.com/index.php
When I put the pictures into the boxes they don't size up
correctly even though I am inputting the correct dimension for the
images the same size as the boxes. Is it because I am using a table
width of 100%? I want to be able to resize the browser window
without having the boxes stretch. What am I doing wrong?
I have attached my code.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Jim,
We really apologize for all the inconvenience which has caused you.
While you are trying to apply the auto sync on couple of images can you try to make sure that the images are not stacked.
Also there hadnt been any issues reported so far on this and whatever issues I have seen have been reported were that the sync requires some time to apply on number of images and the customer doesnt wait for that much
In the meanwhile if these steps doesnt resolve your issues you can contact Adobe support by following the link below:

How to Fit large size image into ScrollingImagepanel

I am newbie to JAI.
If the size of the image is large then how to fit it into scrolligImagePanel size?
What is the method to be used to fit it?
Your help is highly appreciated.
thanks in advance

Tom,
What version of PrPro are you working with?
Actually, MPEG-2 is not a good format/CODEC to use, as it is both heavily compressed, and is in GOP (Group of Pictures) structure. The version of PrPro, that you have, might well define the best format to use, and maybe even not need to convert.
Unfortunately, the Live version of WMM will only Export to WMV, where the "non-Live," older version, can Export to DV-AVI, though only Type I, and not Type II.
In general, for an SD Project, DV-AVI Type II is as good, as it gets.
The Frame Size of your Project is a bit odd. What prompted you to chose that?
Good luck, and let us know just a bit more.

How to load an image into blob in a custom form

Hi all!
is there some docs or how to, load am image into a database blob in a custom apps form.
The general idea is that the user has to browse the local machine find the image, and load the image in a database blob and also in the custom form and then finally saving the image as blob.
Thanks in advance

Correct workflow when inserting images into text, InDesign CS4

Hi,
I am new to InDesign and I have a problem regarding a really basic thing and I would be very grateful for help.
I am writing an article which is about 10 pages long. It consists mostly of text. I have finished writing and now I want to add some illustrations with descriptions. I've already figured out it's best to insert images into the text frame so they behave as "anchored objects" and they move together with text when I add or delete something on previous pages. Now I would like to place TWO OR MORE images, one next to each other, in a line. This is a bit tricky but I created an object style with Position: Custom in "Anchored object options" and it works more or less fine. This works great but now it would be hard to add descriptions to these images that would still be anchored.
So I created something different. I made an empty rectangle frame, a small text frame under it and grouped them. Then I placed it in my master text frame and basically did the same thing as for previously described images. Now I place the newly loaded image in the empty rectangular frame and add text in the empty text frame. BUT now I have problems with frame size for different-size images.
What if I have a REALLY LONG article and want to add LOTS of images with decriptions that would be anchored in the text so I can edit previous pages? I can do this my way, but it's extremely uncomfortable and takes ages. Is there any comfortable, non-destructive workflow for doing such things?
Sorry for my English.

Hi,
I would recommend following steps:
Place one or more images
Don't anchor them yet.
Arange them (the images) relatively to each other, add a text frame and arrange them correct relatively to the images.
Group images and text
Copy (or cut) them into the clippboard
Set the curser into the text where it should flow
Paste it
Adjust the anchored object (the group)
You need to group several objects to anchor them together as one anchor.
Further recommendation:
For the images I would specify an object style for fitting, stroke, corner optione.
For text frames I would specify an object style for text object options, like text offset, and used paragraph style, no boarder, etc.
For the group I would spcify an object style which leaves above mentioned settings undefined (option field is grea or has a dash). But the anchored position of the whole group and text wrapping should be specified.

How do I create a placeholder image in a custom layout?

I have a custom layout defined for a photo book, and I want to have a box on the layout where I can easily drag/drop a photo from Finder onto each page.
On my layout, I created a shape and dropped an image into it. This results in the following tooltip on both the layout editor and on the pages using the layout:
"This image is a placeholder. Drag a new media file here to replace it."
And with that shape selected, if I go to Format, Advanced, the option "Define as Media Placeholder" *is* checked.
But when I go to a page using this new layout and attempt to drag a JPEG file on top of the placeholder, a new photo is created on the page rather than replacing the placeholder. This means I have to go set the wrapping, size, placement, etc. of the photo with each page.
What am I doing wrong?

Good question. Just figured it out myself. I'm going to quote from http://www.davidebarranca.com/2012/04/ibooks-author-fullscreen-images/:
In order to successfully transform a picture/movie within a master page into a placeholder you must select it, then 1) Format – Advanced – Define as Media Placeholder. 2) From the Inspector panel, select the Layout inspector and below Layout Object select the Editable on pages using this layout checkbox. If you forget this checkbox, the placeholder won’t work.

How can I get an ucropped image in a Custom Package when using Stroke and/or Border??

How can I get a picture in a Custom Package that has a Stroke and/or a border and get the image shown fully, and not cropped in one way or other?
When I add the stroke/border it adds them inside the cell, thereby altering the ratio of the area for the picture inside it, which crops it in some way. How can I get the image to be uncropped? The controls available seem to all be for the ration of the outside of the cell, but my image is inside the stroke/border and nothing seems to work on it directly ...
Many thanks,
Gary

Perhaps I misunderstood your requirement. I have been frustrated by LR print module and labs effectively squeezing individual shots into existing frames. So I have used LR2Mogrify to export (and then re-import) a 'new image' which manages the discrepancy between a crop and a cell of a different aspect ratio by adding padding - usually 'white' - around the image to a canvas corresponding to cell dimensions. Adding stroke borders can be accomplished in Mogrify inside or outside the image. A custom package, with multiple cell dimensions can be populated with images created in the corresponding aspect ratio(s) for the relevant cells.
I'm not aware of a way of automating the creation of cells in a page to dimensions which change with the crop as discovered - drag and drop images onto a blank page creates cells of the same standard size.

How to render a video from image sequence with custom frame rate?

Dear all,
For a project i would like to create a video from 47 images with a custom frame rate. To achieve this i take the following steps in Photoshop CS6 extended:
1) File -> Open...
2) Select the first image and select " image sequence ". All images have the same size (1280 x 1261 px) and are numbered correctly.
3) Click open
4) Frame Rate: Custom 3 fps
5) File -> Export -> Render Video... -> Render
6) Play the video with VLC. The video shows a still image of the first image.
If i choose a frame rate of 10 fps, then there is no problem. VLC plays the video as expected.
Is there a other way to create a video from 47 images and choose a custom frame rate? Or what am i doing wrong?

InDesign CS3 Scripting XML Import Multiple Images into same Text Frame

I am having trouble importing multiple images into the same Text Frame using XML import. I imported 5 images into the text frame. However, all 5 images are laying on top of one another. Does anyone know if there is a way to have all images laying out like how Microsoft Word handles inline images, i.e., laying out next image to the right of previsous image in the same line and if there is not enough space left in the line, then wrap to next line. Thanks in advance. I understand I could use JavaScript to do post import processing, e.g, calculate the image size and place each images accordingly. But I am trying to see whether there is a way to do this without scripts.

You can apply an object style to all anchored images by script. A text frame containing main flow should be selected.
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var textFrame = app.selection[0];
var rectangles = textFrame.texts[0].rectangles;
if (rectangles.length > 0) {
for (var i=0; i < rectangles.length; i++) {
rectangles[i].appliedObjectStyle = doc.objectStyles.item("Cover");
However, there is a better approach:
Step 1
Create place holders for a single "Book" element and format it as needed -- apply an object style to the cover.
Step 2
Import the xml file -- the placeholders are replaced with data from the 1st xml element
Step 3
Drag & drop the element containing all "Books" elements into the main flow -- all elements are placed and formatted the same way as in step 1.
Finally, add a new page, click the overset text icon and autoflow text to add pages so that to fit all the text.
Hope this helps.

Inserting Image into BLOB field from URL

Is it possible to insert an image into a BLOB field from a URL? I don't have access to the filesystem on the server and I have a page that uses PL/PDF to generate dynamic PDF files from data I pull from the database. I would like to include my companies official header with logo on the top of the PDFs I generate and need to somehow get the image which I currently have uploaded to the images section in Application Express and can access from the "Shared Components => Images" section of the Application Builder. I just want to be able to either query whatever table holds those images or copy the image I need to a blob field in one of my tables so I can use it in my PDF document.
The other alternative (which is what I first mentioned above) would be to try and perform an insert into the BLOB field in my table but the location of the image file would be like "http://www.myportal.com:7777/pls/htmldb/wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=1234567&p_flow_id=111&p_fname=myimage.jpg".
Is this possible? If not, what can I do?
Thanks in advance.

The reason why I am asking this question in this forum is two-fold:
1. I am using Application Express (AE).
2. Since I am using AE all images that I upload to my workspace are stored in a table in a database and not as an actual file in a directory structure like in Windows etc. This being the case, I can't ever reference any of the files that I upload to my workspace in order to insert them into my BLOB field unless I know their physical location on disk (which of course does not exist b/c they are stored in the AE database somewhere). If I knew AE's database and table structure I could do a "select into ..." from whatever table stores my uploaded images and save those images to my own custom table in my BLOB field.

Want to put URLs into a custom field in the requirements

I tried to put some code into a custom field in Empirix eManager. I was trying to add a URL to the requirement where the person could see more information. Specifically, we have use-cases online and a mockup of the final product to be developed. I wanted to put a mockup URL and use-case URL for each of the requirements where appropriate to help the developers further understand their task.
So, I did added something like this into the custom field when creating the test case:
View Textbook Use Case
Unfortunately the javascript didn't execute because the eManager application put the whole command in as a string. What displayed is exactly what you see above. I'm sure this is done for security reasons so that cross-sight scripting is protected against. However, I'm not trying to do anything suspect -- just trying to link things together.
So I went to the database for our project in eManager. I could bypass the security coding that disallows code to be placed into the field by adding it at the database level. However, when I got there it became evident that I didn't know the datamodel well enough to successfully add a field value there without possibly causing some problems. In the past I've only queried the database and not any modifications.
Can someone tell me how a custom field value is inserting into the database? Which tables does it need to be added to to maintain referential integrity? Or alternatively, do you have a document with the schema outlined? Are there any important stored procedures we'd be missing if going directly at the database. Can anybody advise me?

Hello Gandalf,
If you created a customer field in OXK3, I am afraid that the customer defined field created is only
available on G/L account line items but not Customer or Vendor line items(The field is not available on SAPMF05A screens 301 and 302).But it is possible to use it in fast entry screens SAPMF05A 8xxx (see note 2596).

Embedding an image into Mail

How exactly do you embed images (.jpeg) into a mail message so that it does not come up as an attachment?
Gmail, outlook, yahoo mail, etc. all read attachments as an attachment that needs to be opened and only through Apple Mail can users see an attachment already opened (giving the appearance of an embedded image, but it's not).
Any help on embedding images into Apple Mail (besides through using the signature)?

I tried creating a Stationary but I am fairly new to Mail and am unfamiliar with creating it successfully. I create it, then it creates the Custom folder in which my stationary will not show up in the mail message. It will show up in the folder, I just am unable to get it to show up in the message. Is there a format to creating stationaries? Or perhaps a different way to embed images?

Copy/paste images into pages within sharepoint online?

There seems to be a workaround to use RadControl for this. (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/655c080f-ec1e-4e69-b082-d35973ee426a/copy-and-paste-for-images-in-sharepoint)
However, I don't think we can deploy custom app/binaries onto sharepoint online.
Is there other way we can easily copy/past images into pages?
Thx

you cannot paste the images into sharepoint pages directly, Images cannot be rendered as HTML so cannot be pasted.
You have to upload the images into SharePoint then insert it on the pages /places you want.
or other work aorund buy the 3rd party tool which you mentioned.
Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog
