Guitar Pick Photo Problem

Hello,
I'm new to iPhoto and I've got a problem. I've got a scan of a guitar pick(.jpg) that is rectangular. I want to elimintate the white space around the actual pic so it is image is only the shape of the pick(rounded edge triangle).
How do I do this? I'm using iPhoto 6.
Thanks,
Chris

Hmm
Seashore is open source, under development but I'm nit sure if it's capabilities are there yet.
GIMP is more advanced, but because it uses X11, it take a little bit of work to get going, but think of it as an opportunity to learn...

  • Guitar Pick in CD drive

    This is kind of embarrassing, but I was holing my guitar pick in one hand and using the computer with the other. Without really realizing what I was doing, I stuck the pick in CD drive, and pulled it back out. Again, I wasn't consciously doing this, so I continued. After about the third time, it went too far in and I couldn't get it back out. Anyone know of any way to safely get it out without ruining the drive? I would rather deal with this myself, but If I must take it in, I guess I must.

    When I drop a pick inside my acoustic guitar I can usually get it out by turning the sound hole down and shaking the guitar up and down until it passes through the strings. I don't think that procedure will work for the MacBook, though.
    The problem is anything you stick in there to pry it out could push it in further. Maybe try some double-sided sticky tape on something thin like a popsicle stick? That might get the optical drive head dirty though... probably best to take it in to an expert.

    Add new photo to existing calendar folder in iPhoto
    I am making a calendar in iPhoto, picking photos from a folder, let's call it "2011 Pics," in iPhoto. After arranging all the photos and captions I decided I wanted to insert a new photo -- one that was not in "2011 Pics." So I inserted it into the folder, but the picture does not show up on the scrolling menu of pictures at the left of the calendar-making page. This happened last year and in frustration I started all over again. But surely there is a way to add a new picture to a calendar that is already laid out.

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • I dropped My Guitar Pick in the CD DRIVE. What do I do?

    I dropped my guitar pick in my CD drive. help!

    I hope that she will, too - be sure and use the attachment that would be used for getting crumbs out of cracks in the sofa - I have no idea what it's actually called but it's long and has a thin, long sucker...

  • Slideshow crop photos problem when i close the thumbnail botton

    In the slideshow i use thumbnail photo "turned on" to change the pictures (is it the only way to do it?)  and manage them with crop function but when i later close thumbnail (i don't want visible) photos resize. Any suggestion ?

    I have not a link yet, i'm preparing the graphic layout at the time. I bypassed the problem importing in muse the right photos size without use crop. Maybe i should see better edit photo functions tutorials. I'm new with Muse.

  • Photo problem in Elements7

    I edited several photos through Elements 7 and when I pressed SAVE a box pulled up and I just skimmed it and I thought it just said it was going to group my photo on top of the original, but now when I go to open the photo back up it is not a photo but a box with a crack down the center of it. When I try to pull it up and edit it more it reads "cannot open the picture because it is the wrong type file" I need these picture badly and I cannot even find the original. PLEASE HELP!!!!

    While on the Editor space screen on PSE7, on the top taskbar, the first
    button should be the FILE option followed by EDIT and so on. When you
    click on FILE, one of the options on the drop down window should be
    "Close". This is what I use to close and save my edited images. When you
    are on the organizer this options are not going to be present, these are
    only available on the Editor workspace.

    Photoshop Elements Photo problem in Elements7
    for some reason when i click on it there is not an option for
    File--Reconnect.
    i can now see it using windows, but i can only see it if i choose to open
    it through windows, not if i just look at the thumbnail through windows.
    strange that i can open it through windows and not pse7, and i wonder why
    i do not have a file option.

  • Put picked photos automatically at the TOP of a stack

    It would be GREAT if LightRoom would automatically put picked photos at the top of the stack.
    I often have photos in both RAW and JPG, and I then proceed to pick (and develop) one of the two. Then, I choose 'stack by capture time' not to have two versions of every photo in front of me. It would be great if LR could automatically put the picked photo at the top of the stack; after all, it is a rather obvious idea. As it is, stacking seems to be basically random, and it is a pain to then use the "put to top of the stack", especially as there is no keyboard shortcut.

    Do you meant a link to one of your other pages or to a location on one of your pages?  If it's the latter those are called anchors and iWeb does not support them.  However, there are workarounds for that.  See this blog: How to use anchors in iWeb.  If you don't have a lot of widgets on the page it can work fairly well.

  • Is it possible to restore a no longer activated iPhone? (photo problem)

    I gave my daughter my first generation iPhone when I upgraded to 3gs, which she uses as an iPod Touch, not a phone.
    When she takes a picture, while the picture is saved (because we connect to iPhoto they load), however when she takes the picture, they do not display on the phone itself nor can she access through the photo app on the phone.
    Does anyone know, is it possible to restore the device even though it is no longer activated as an iPhone? Or will doing so lock the phone?
    Any advice would be so appreciated. Have searched the topics for tips on how to resolve the photo issue but was unable to find anything. Am thinking restore may be the only hope...?

    I'm not sure why the ATT rep would take the SIM out of the old phone and put it in the new phone. If the old phone has a SIM in it, have you tried plugging it in to iTunes and restore it?
    Am not sure why either, but they definitely did. I looked at the sim card and it says 3g on it, which I know is just a marking and not exclusive to 3g network/phone. Therefore cannot be the original, as I purchased that phone June 2007, way before 3g.
    Anyhow... was able to find a solution to the photo problem, which worked perfectly!
    Here is the link in case anyone who reads this has the same photo problem. It's super easy and works great.

  • Slideshow resize photos problem

    Hi there,
    Yesterday I did a wonderful slideshow ( basic) in Muse with 3 variants of each of the used motives.
    Today, I worked on the slideshow, and now - the pics appear in different sizes although they have the same pix-size.
    What is a stake here - anybody know?

  • Can't pick photos from iPhoto as wallpaper

    Hi,
    The photo picker in System Preferences > Destop & Screen Saver doesn't work for photos in iPhoto anymore. It shows Apple, iPhoto and Folders but there is no content in iPhoto, nothing no Events no albums. And it doesn't seem to be loading (no beachball).
    The iPhoto Library is very large, so is there a limitation?
    The photo picker in iWeb for example is working fine, though.
    Reimporting every photo into a new library didn't make any difference.
    Many thanks!

    I found this thread describing the exact same problem.

    Seems to be a bug.

  • Emailing photo problem

    Hello Peeps,
    I've been emailing selected photos for years without any problem, but now after sending a batch of 3 to a friend (which never arrived) I cant get past the page where you choose the size. A box momentarily appears at the top of the screen but I never get the chance to compose the email now. Any ideas please?

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Wi-fi and Facebook photos problem on iOS 6.0.1

    I have a MacBook Air and and iPhone 3GS. Over wifi connection strange things happen when I use Facebook. I cannot see images on my timeline from firends and I cannot even see some of my photos. I've tried both secure and unsecure connection through Facebook account settings but nothing changes. Videos on the timeline won't play either. When I switch to 3G on my phone everything is fine. What could be the problem I cannot find out. Until a few weeks ago it was normal. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?
    Thank you.

    Maybe you just lucked out but both my devices running ios 6.0.1 have wifi problems shutting of at random times during sleep. I know you guys will say when its plugged in it doesn't lose wifi true but I never remember having this problem in the previous ios verison from ios 4 to 5(On my Iphone 4, and from my Iphone 4s from IOS 5) until I updated both devices to ios 6  or even when I had a iTouch 3rd gen long time ago I never remember it shutting of my wifi. I am telling you this never happened before IOS 6 where I need to leave it plugged in just to have my wifi during wake up.
    GTR
    I thought I believed my iPhone 4 with iOS5.0 would not disconnect during sleep mode. However, I was wrong. What I did was to ping the IP addresses on my iPhone 4 (iOS5) and iPhone 5 (iOS 6 then, and iOS6.0.1 now) when they were in sleep mode. Very true that there were timed-out on both devices. Once I woke them up, ping went thru. I did a scan on my home network using my iPad while the other 2 phones were in sleep mode, I was not able to see them.
    I thought my iPhone4 did not disconnect too. But again, I think the reconnecting to wifi on iOS 5 is SO MUCH quicker than on iOS6 so user would think there was never a disconnect.

  • HP iPrint Photo problem on N97

    I downloaded HO iPrint Photo on my N97 V20. I read great reviews about this app and am very keen to use it. My problem is this, I'm getting "generating thumbnails" and a task bar for about 5-10 seconds and then (no photos are available in the phone) displayed. I have hundreds of photos so why am I getting this message on the screen.
    If I press on options I get "Memory full. Close some applications and try again". This is strange as there are no other applications open. I installed on mass memory E and there is lots of memory still available. Please help. Thank you in advance.

    In same position. Same error message. Tried installing to different locations and still cant get it to work which is really annoying as this sounds like a really useful app. Does anyone know how to fix this!!

  • Transfer photo problem: Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader to iPad

    Equipment:
    Apple Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader-ZML (from BH Photo dot com)

    iPad Wi-Fi Cellular 32GB MD517LL/A
    SD card 4GB Kingston SDHC
    SD card 32GB Lexar SDHC Class 10
    Nikon D5100
    Fry's build desktop with Windows 7 Home Edition
    Files type:
    *.jpg
    Desired outcome:
    Transfer *.jpg images from desktop to SD card to iPad for use Photos (camera roll)
    Successes:
    iPad recognizes and displays *.jpg created in-camera.
    Problem statement:
    File origin: all image files created with camera listed above.
    Files created in camera (*.jpg & *.NEF (RAW), then transferred to desktop.  *.NEF files converted to *.jpg.  Reload files to SD card in *.jpg format only, iPad does not see / display images to be imported from SD card to iPad.
    Problem resolution attempts:
    Format SD card using desktop, result - iPad does not recognize SD card
    Format SD card using camera, result - iPad recognizes SD card
    Try a different SD card (used two, see equipment above)
    Test shot photo (*.jpg) in camera work only (no transfer to desktop), result iPad recognizes and displays image
    For *.jpgs on desktop
    1st convert file names to same nomenclature (system of names) created by camera (DSC_001.jpg) (DSC underscore 3 digits file extension).
    2nd load file into same folder that was created by camera on SD cards, result displayed one desktop originating test photo once only.  Subsequent attempts failed.
    No difference in performance between the 2 SD cards.  In camera work displays but not transfer files from desktop to SD card
    E-mail photos (15) to personal e-mail, open file with internet, copy to iPad, result iPad copies, loads, and displays images in camera roll.  I used same images I loaded to SD from desktop in attempt to keep everything equal.
    Side note: I received a notification (push to my device) to from Apple to update software.  The operating system was updated to what I have now.  I don't recall if the one success I listed above was before or after the OS update.
    Discussion
    Lighning cable advertised as useful in transfering images (pictures) to iPad.  I read prior to purchase what image files were supported.  I began with high hopes, and now I'm very deflated.
    I've hacked and hacked and tried and read and tried and... I can't solve this problem.
    A resolution (without additional expenditures) is greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance to everyone for your consideration and help.

    There's a step by step in the manual
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/
    There is no specific naming convention beyond must be in the DCIM folder and  must have 8 character names. myphotos.jpg for example.
    I've successfully used SD cards to import videos off my computer onto my iPad, they just have to be named right.
    The reason for the work arounds is, in Apple's work flow, you use the camera kit only to interface with your camera, if you want to import from your computer, you use iTunes. So that's the methods they favor. Transferring from your computer to a card to your iPad via the kit is a non-supported work around, which is why you have to basically fool the iPad into thinking those images came directly from the camera.
