Help with Part Coloured B&W Photos

Hi Guys,
I am a bit of a novice with PE 8 and was wondering is someone could give me a few clues where to begin with part colouring a b&w photo.
What I would like to do is take a picture of a stndalone tree that is in blossom. I want the tree trunk and branches in b&w along with the background but want the blossom to remain in its natural colour.
Like I say I don't really know where to begin some clues would be very much appreciated.
Regards,
Den

image23,
Open picture
Duplicate background layer
Open a hue/saturation adjustment layer above this. To do this, click on the black/white circular icon at the bottom of the layers palette
Slide the saturation slider all the way to the left
On the adjustment layer, left click the layer mask (the white rectangle)
Set your foregrond color chip (lower left) to black
Access the brush tool and with the black brush paint where you want the color to appear
TIPS:
If you go too far, paint with a white brush to correct
The bracket keys [ & ] can be used to alter the brush size
x on the keyboard toggles between black & white

Need some help with the colour profile please. Urgent! Thanks

Dear all, I need help with the colour profile of my photoshop CS6.
I've taken a photo with my Canon DSLR. When I opened the raw with ACDSee, the colour looks perfectly ok.
So I go ahead and open in photoshop. I did nothing to the photo. It still looks ok
Then I'm prompt the Embedded Profile Mismatch error. I go ahead and choose Discard the embedded profile option
And the colour started to get messed up.
And the output is a total diasater
Put the above photo side by side with the raw, the red has became crimson!!
So I tried the other option, Use the embedded profile
The whole picture turns yellowish in Photoshop's interface
And the output is just the same as the third option.
Could someone please guide me how to fix this? Thank you.

I'm prompt the Embedded Profile Mismatch error. I go ahead and choose Discard the embedded profile option
always use the embedded profile when opening tagged images in Photoshop - at that point Photoshop will convert the source colors over to your monitor space correctly
if your colors are wrong at that point either your monitor profile is off, or your source colors are not what you think they are - if other apps are displaying correctly you most likely have either a defective monitor profile or source profile issues

for Photoshop to work properly, i recall you want to have "use my settings for this device" checked in Color Management> Device tab
you may want to download the PDI reference image to check your monitor and print workflows
and complete five easy steps to profile enlightenment in Photoshop
with your settings, monitor profile and source profiles sorted out it should be pretty easy to pinpoint the problem...

Help with embedding Javascript for Lightbox Photo Gallery in Muse!

Hi all:
I am fairly new to Muse and I have been having trouble finding relevant information for embedding Javascript in order to get a lightbox to work in Muse. Would anyone be able to walk me through embedding the Javascript for the Lightbox Photogallery for Picasa in Muse?
This is the code I want to use: Lightbox Photo Gallery and Slideshow for Picasa
And this is the look I am trying to accomplish within my Muse site: Cycling Around The World / January 2006 / Picasa Template by www.paulvanroekel.nl
Any help would be appreciate. Thanks much,
Alexis

Hi,
I have tried inserting the script that you have pasted above as HTML on my test site and it worked.
What happens is whenever you insert something as HTML, Muse by default creates a div tag and places the content within the div tag. What I have done differently is I have inserted the JS with in the <script> tag and it has inserted the Javascript in this manner,
I beleive that since this a browser re-direct script that you are using, you would like to place this in the head section and not in the body tag, however, that is certainly not possible using Muse as it does not allow access to the code it generates as a muse file.
You, can still export the pages as HTML and make the appropriate changes there before uploading to the server.
Hope that helps.
Regards,

Help with corrupted Photoshop elements 8 photos

My computer was infected by a virus that was deleted but the virus corrupted almost all
files in my computer. I had some documents backed up but not all current photoshop
files.
When I open photoshop the photos are there in the organizer but if clicked and opened they
become the broken photo icon. Other photos in my files show file extension not supported or recognized.
Any help to recover?
Can I restore to a previous version, all photos show altered 11/23/13 and show no previous
versions.
If I can't recover the photo files what happens when I uninstall and reinstall the program. Are
all photos gone? If so I guess I'll just start fresh with photos saved from about 1 year ago.
Learned my lesson to back-up often!
Thanks for any and all help.

Have you got a backup of your original photos? If so then you can
recreate the catalogue very easily in less than 5 minutes. PSE always
leaves photos in their original location. they are not moved at all.
One should always backup photos, videos, documents, emails etc
separately from applications that created them in the first place.
Disasters happen and we can't always protect from them except to backup
as taught in computing 101 class.

I have a problem with the colour on my photos

when Iprint from my PHOTOSMART 5510 e ALL IN ONE the colour is all off what do I need to do thanks

Hi jazz1, are you having the problem with all print jobs or just when you try printing via ePrint e.g. sending a piece of content to your printers email address?.
If its happening when you're using the printer "normally" (just printing to it from your desktop or laptop PC via the driver) then you need to print a print quality diagnostic page from the printer software on your desktop to see if one or more of the colours is not printing. Checking the ink levels could also tell you if you're out of one or more inks.
Let me know how you get on.

Help with Publishing to a File - Photo Albums don't appear

I published to a file. I tested it and it looks good. I burned the folder to a CD in order to view it on another computer - specifically a PC. My webpages look right, but the photo albums don't appear. I can manually open the folders on the CD and verify that the photo jpg files are there. Any ideas? I am using iWeb 2.0.2.

Are you transferring the index.html file along with the website folder and double clicking the index file to launch the site in the PC browser?

Help With Pages - Exporting To PDF - PHOTOS BOTCHED

Hey guys, would really appreciate some insight to this.
I created a report for my board in pages and included photos. It looks great but when I export to a .PDF, instead of seeing a page of 4 different photos, it is all the same photo! WHY???? I have no idea why..... It is the weirdist thing.
Now, the document is like 140 meg since the photos are a bit big, so I am telling pages to export to a 'good' .pdf instead of a 'best' since it will make the file size smaller. If I were to make the pics smaller and then put them into the document, would that work? Your help is appreciated since I don't want to do this unless it works. It will take tons of time.
Intersting note though, when I export to word or 'best', the pics are fine. Something weird is happening when it is making the .pdf smaller. Any thoughts?
Thanks all.

You're probably using sections. Is there a little triangle over page 8 in the Pages palette? That means a section starts there. Select the page and go to Numbering and Section Options in the Pages palette menu. Remove the prefix.
You can also export using absolute page numbers if you use a + (plus) in front of the page. If your book's pages are numbered: i, ii, iii, 1, 2, 3 you could export as pages +1 - +6.

Need help with part of my code

this code is taken from a News server i am making...
// process connection with client
   private void processConnection(String[][] texts) throws IOException
     Newslist = new ArrayList();
     //output.getTexts;
    for (int i = 0; i < texts.length; i++) {
            System.out.println(texts[0]+ "" + texts[i][1]+ "" +texts[i][2] );
When a client connects to this server the server does a system output of an array in the servers class. Instead of simply out putting these array items to the screen, what code do i need to output them to the client. its a socket connection so im using get streams to handle input and output. I dont know how to send these array info to the client, that is my question
here is my get stream codeprivate void getStreams() throws IOException
// set up output stream for objects
output = new ObjectOutputStream( connection.getOutputStream() );
output.flush(); // flush output buffer to send header information
// set up input stream for objects
input = new ObjectInputStream( connection.getInputStream() );
displayMessage( "\nGot I/O streams\n" );
thanks for any help.

thanks, i used writeObject cause it didnt like write
for some reason. My next question is how can i make my
client program read the array and form it own array
with it.The simplest way is to create the array as the client needs it as send it via writeObject()
You will be able to do a readObject() at the other end to get the object back.
My client is currently using its own array of strings
for reading info, i want to use the servers array
instead.If you send a custom object, the code for these object(s) will need to be the same on the client and the server.

Help with an older version of photo shop elements

Does anyone know how to install adobe photoshop elements version 1.0.1 into win 7 home edition when I try to install it asks for internet explorer 4.0 or greater to install photo shop elements.

I would imagine that some of the free image editors available today would be more powerful than PSE v1.

I need help with saving all of the photos and videos on my iPhone.

When I access the screen that has Photos, Shared, and Albums and I click on Photos, there are more photos there than the phone is counting that
I have on my iPhone. How do I save all those photos or put them onto my computer? I have saved the photos it will let me but I cannot access the photos from more than 2 years ago. Also my phone says I have 43 videos but only 10 save.
Also, when I upgrade and switch to a newer iPhone, will I see all those photos from the whole history of my phone, will I see all 43 videos, and all my iMessages and SMSs?
Thank you.

Hi Sharon,
The best thing for you to do is 2 things.
When you purchase a new device(whether it be a iPhone, iPod or iPad)
1) Perform a full backup of your old device via iTunes. This will save contacts, calendars, photos, text messages, emails, apps in folders how you left them, music, videos, podcasts etc. Note it won't import your photos unless you tell it to.
1.1) When you get your new device it will ask whether to set up as a new device or from a backup, select from backup and your new phone will look and be exactly the same as your old one, same settings etc.
2)[optional] I personally like to backup my photos to iPhoto on my mac once a month. When it reaches the end of the library it asks whether to delete originals or not. If you hit no it doesn't change the photos on your device and you have a copy in your iTunes library. This is handy if you want to use photos from your phone on your mac.

Help with content priority. My photos wont fit

I keep getting notices that it can not sync all my photos because their is not enough room. Isn't there a way to prioritize the photos to sync and have the remaining content stream? The reason I ask is that I know all my movies are not physically on the appleTV but when my iTunes is connected, it streams them. Right now it is allocating 8.42GB to Video on my ATV (movies dir on the computer is 157gb)
Is there any way to make it physically sync less video content to allow for my photos to fit on the hard drive

I'd do a custom sync, that way you put exactly what you want onto the tv.

Help with importing PC photo files and then organizing it all in iPhoto

Hi everyone,
I'm relatively new to mac but I am just loving my purchase! I need some serious help with getting all of my photos organized though so I can easily find it for editing in iMovie.
I've accumulated over 10,000 photos stored on my PC which I've since transferred over to my LaCie external drive for my MacBook Pro via a wireless network connecting my PC & Mac. Some of these I've put onto my laptop internal hard drive and those I've imported into the iPhoto library. However, do I need to move the rest of the photos from my LaCie drive into my internal hard drive to import the photos into iPhoto, or can I tell iPhoto to look for the files in the external drive. If so, how do I do that? I know I'll then have to create albums in order to sort them, which I know how to do. Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
I am quickly running out of hard drive space on my laptop which is why I've put most of my photos on the external drive. Once I organize my existing collection, I would like to be able to import new pictures and have it stored on my external drive, not my internal drive. How do I do that?
Any other tips on organizing a massive photo library would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Karen

Karen,
Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
This is where you get to enjoy the power of iPhoto's database. You can change the Sort in the View menu. Check out View > Sort Photos > by Date.
Or, click the little calendar icon near the lower left corner of the iPhoto window. This allows you to filter the library by year, month, week, or date. You can Command-click to add another date to your filter. You can Option-click to choose a recurring date: you get that month or date for all years in your library. [Want to see your kid's birthday for every year? Just Option-Click that date. Cool.]
The keywords filter is similar. There is a preference setting where you choose to filter based on ALL keywords chosen (where by choosing more keywords you narrow your field) or ANY keyword (where the more keywords you choose, the larger your field will be). Click on a keyword to filter your library by all photos containing that keyword. Use Command-click to add more keywords to the filter. A difference is that Option-click will eliminate photos with that keyword from your filter. [You can find all pictures of your kids with your dog but NOT at Halloween.]
You can create Smart Albums to combine the use of dates, keywords, ratings, titles, comments and more. The more information you enter into the database, the more powerful the tools become.
When your task of importing is complete and you are ready to play with iPhoto's features it may help to look at the iPhoto multimedia tutorial. Better organized than trying to read through the Help files, it can help you get acquainted with many of iPhoto's features.
Have fun.

I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto. I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them. I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows. I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years. Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge. 180GB plus.
I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive. For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge. The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows. What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient. If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward. However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto. In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases. If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
Some guidance and insight would be appreciated. I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later.

Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide.

Need help with sed to fix migrated web site links (part II)

I thought I had this fixed, but I didn't, so starting over:
I'm moving my web files from one host to another, and have backed up my directory called WEB into my user downloads folder. The site is dead simple, mostly links within the site, pages primarily text with some links to my photos posted on flickr, and a few outside links. I want to avoid opening/replacing/saving a hundred or more files to fix the links from "http://www.old_domain_name/user/my_username" to "http://my_new_domain_name"
A friend suggested the following scripts to do this
mkdir fix_urls
cd fix_urls
cp -r <wherever>/WEB .
cd WEB
xargs -0 egrep -i old_domain_name $(find * -name "*.html" -print0) > ../to_fix
cd ..
less to_fix
to see what needs changing, but after I've created and moved to WEB, the xargs command results in a zero kb file called to_fix appearing in WEB, and nothing else happens....and the prompt in terminal (myusername$) doesn't reappear.
I tried his part II anyway:
mkdir new_web
while read filename; do
      sed 's/\/www.old_domain_name/user/my_username/\/my_new_domain_name/' < WEB/$filename > new_web/$filename
done
diff -r WEB new_web > what_i_did
less what_i_did
and after the 'done', I get again....nothing. No new cursor gray rectangle, no new prompt, haven't even gotten to the last bit of diff to review the changes.
Any tips on what fundamental bone-headed thing I'm doing wrong?
and I got this helpful answer which seemed to have solved it, but didn't entirely:
This solved my question by X423424X on Jul 1, 2012 1:23 AM
I want to avoid opening/replacing/saving a hundred or more files to fix the links from "http://www.old_domain_name/user/my_username" to "http://my_new_domain_name"
If that's all you want to do then here's the pertinent sed command to do it:
sed -e 's,www.old_domain_name/user/my_username,my_new_domain_name,'
Syntax is a bit simpler when you don't use slashes as the sed substitute delimiters. You can use anything. Here I used commas.
I got excited too quickly after the first file I clicked looked correct--the first file in the subdirectory.
I see no indication in terminal that the process is going or ending--no sense of when I can close terminal and move on.
Checking the directory in finder shows no updates to 'date modified' for any of the files.
So how do I know if it is in progress, or done working, aside from opening random files to see if they're 'done'?
I've got three subfolders inside one folder (my WEB folder), and it looks like only the first file of the first subdirectory got repaired.

Here is a bash script to interate through all files in a folder of a given extension.
#!/bin/bash
# be sure to use Unix lineends -- linefeed \n
# Use TextWrangle for editing. It's free.
# http://www.barebones.com/products/TextWrangler/

# first comes the directory/folder you want to search
# -name do a case independent search for all file ending
#       with the extension .txt
find /Users/mac/Desktop/iMac -iname "*.txt" | while read file
do
    echo
    echo "file to process is = " $file
    # replace the list command with your command.
    # You will need to place a $ in front of file
    # To avoid problems with blanks & other characters,
