How can I create a Tilt-shift effect in Elements 13?

I tried it as I did in Elements 9, but I probably forgot how. It won't work
Anyone?

Thks. I have the Dutch version and although in the Netherlands 'Tilt-shift' is a commonly used term, Adobe Netherlands decided to call it 'kantelen en verschuiven', which is a literal translation (very few will understand).

Can I do a tilt-shift effect to my photos in iPhoto?

I read yesterday that I can create a tilt-shift effect in iPhoto, but I can't find information on how to do it. Does anyone know?
D. Turner

Are you referring to the picture frames and text boxes in an iPhoto book? If so try these key combinations:
You can "adjust" a photo frame or text box size on a page with the following key combinations:
Command + Option +⬆arrow: increase frame height.
Command + Option +⬇arrow: decrease frame height.
Command + Option + ➜ arrow: increase frame width.
Command + Option + ⬅ arrow: decrease frame width.
To adjust its position on the page use these key combinations:
Command + Control + ➜ arrow: move frame to right.
Command + Control + ⬅ arrow: move frame to left.
Command + Control + ⬆ arrow: rotate frame counter clockwise.
Command + Control + ⬇ arrow: rotate frame clockwise.
You can conver the standard frame (on the left) to this one (on the right)
If this isn't it there's only the Straighten tool in iPhoto's Edit mode.

How can I create a video with effects using my ipad?

How can I create a video with effects (sepia, B&W, Negative, oval or any other shape borders) using my ipad? I would Like to keep a higher res and also be able to shrink it down to email or send in a MMS. Or should I just upload it to my PC and mess with it there? Some of the apps I have are very easy to use compared to the learning curve needed for video editing software.
Thanks

Thats the Problem . . . how many apps do I have to try until I find the one I want? I noticed a few will render the video thus losing its original size. When I went to edit it more in iMovie the video was smaller--not good. And what software do you suggest, Templeton, for the PC? I love the apps because they are easy. I dont have hours to mess around on a software to figure out if its something I want. Im looking for simplicity. Maybe Ill get more into it later. I just want to record simple video of my playing the guitar for self analysis and create a short video for family and friends.
Apps:
iMovie
CinemaFXV
VideoFix
Cartoonatic
Video illusion
VidEditor
Software:
Windows Movie maker (wont accept .mov files)
After Effects (Too little time, so much to learn)
Wondershare (Very easy but little choices)
VideoPad (Again. Few choices)

How can I create a shadow text effect?

How can I add a blur effect to text on a BufferedImage. I am trying to create a shadow text effect. Here is what I have currently.
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(500,120,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Rectangle2D Rectangle = new Rectangle2D.Double(0,0,500,120);
Graphics graphics = image.getGraphics();
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) graphics;
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2d.setPaint(Color.white);
g2d.fill(Rectangle);
g2d.draw(Rectangle);
//Shadow text
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
shadow = new TextLayout("Shadow Text", new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 70), g2d.getFontRenderContext());
g2d.setPaint(Color.lightGray);
shadow.draw(g2d, 13, 103);
//Main text
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
text = new TextLayout("Shadow Text", new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 70), g2d.getFontRenderContext());
g2d.setPaint(Color.black);
text.draw(g2d, 10, 100);
I found a blur effect but it affect the whole image not just the shadow. Here is an example.
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(500,120,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Rectangle2D Rectangle = new Rectangle2D.Double(0,0,500,120);
Graphics graphics = image.getGraphics();
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) graphics;
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2d.setPaint(Color.white);
g2d.fill(Rectangle);
g2d.draw(Rectangle);
//Shadow text
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
shadow = new TextLayout("Shadow Text", new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 70), g2d.getFontRenderContext());
g2d.setPaint(Color.lightGray);
shadow.draw(g2d, 13, 103);
Blur filter
float ninth = 1.0f / 9.0f;
float[] kernel = {ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth};
biop = new ConvolveOp(new Kernel(3, 3, kernel));
op = (BufferedImageOp) biop;
image = op.filter(image,null);
//Main text
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
text = new TextLayout("Shadow Text", new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 70), g2d.getFontRenderContext());
g2d.setPaint(Color.black);
text.draw(g2d, 10, 100);

I thought I answered that question?!
In your code above, watch out for statement:
image = op.filter(image,null); The resulted buffered image is new, so you are updating the reference held in variable image.
Unfortunately variable g2d is still refering to a graphics object back by the original image, so:
g2d.setPaint(Color.black);
text.draw(g2d, 10, 100);renders on the first buffered image, not the second.
Here's my code again, touched up a bit.

How can I create a phase shift that will cause cross-cancellation?

I recently recorded something using a USB audio input, and after it was done realized that a cellular device had interfered with the signal and I have a terrible hiss, some clicks, cell noise, etc. in the recording. Setting a noise print and running "Reduce Noise" did more to help this file than I ever would have thought possible (thank you Apple!!), but I think I might be able to do even better.
The left channel has the audio I need, plus all the noise. The right channel has ONLY THE NOISE! Can anyone think of a way that I can use this right channel to create a cross-cancellation of the noise in the left channel? Theoretically, this should create a perfect (or close enough to it for me) file, should it not?
The phase shifter doesn't seem to have what I would need to do this, but I'm sure some audio genius out there can think of a way I can either do this manually or with a filter or effect.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi Glen,
IF you were to take two +identical signals+, sum them in equal amounts and flip the phase on one of them 180º to the other you will get +complete cancellation+.
According to the manual on page 221 the Process>Invert will do this.
Invert
+Choosing this command inverts the phase of each sample in the audio file or selection.+
+Each sample’s amplitude is unchanged, but the phase is inverted. In the waveform+
+display, the wave’s crests become troughs and vice versa.+
IF your R channel is the exact same noise as the noise in your L Channel then this technique could work for you.
You can test this out with any track -> put a copy of it on another track and Invert, they resulting playback will be total silence.

How can I create a photo shutter effect in FCP?

How do I make an effect like a photo is being take during footage playback. I've done the effect before but when the picture "blinks" I want to see a white flash instead of a black one. Is there a way to change the color to white?

If I'm understanding correctly, use "Dip to color dissolve" with adjustments to the percentage of opacity at the start/end and threshold should do it.
Change the color from default black to white and adjust the length of the transition to simulate the quickness of the flash. Split the clip where you want the effect and add transition, set to 'edit on center'.
Hope it helps

Tilt-Shift Effect

How to create a Tilt-Shift Effect with Photoshop Touch
Create the impression of a miniature landscape with this popular photographic technique.
1. After selecting the "Tilt-Shift Effect" tutorial, press "Begin Tutorial" to start. Choose Adjustments > Saturation.
2. Change the Saturation to about 67% and tap OK
3. Tap Add Layer and create a duplicate
4. Choose Effects > Basic > Gaussian Blur
5. Set Blur to about 10. Tap OK.
6. Pinch and zoom out with two fingers to reduce the view to about 50%.
Tip: Zooming out before you continue to the next step will allow you to see the entire image while creating a gradient mask for the blurred layer.
7. Tap the & menu, then Add Fade.
8. Select a vertical gradient and move the lower gradient handle to the bottom of the image.
9. Tap the Edit Gradient button to alter the gradient
10. Move the right transparent spot button to the middle. Add another opacity spot by tapping at the right edge of the gradient slider where the moved spot should be.
Tip: You can remove unwanted gradient spots by dragging them vertically out of the spot area.
11. Change the new spot Opacity to 100%. The Opacity gradient should vary from 100% to 0% to 100%. Tap OK.
Tip: Tapping a spot on the gradient bar toggles the Opacity slider on and off.
12. Tap the back arrow in the top options bar. This will prompt you to save. Press Save to save your project.

I'm kind of restricted as to the height and position on the indoors shots. I have my eye on positions but it means climbing up on things and getting into corners but, if needs must.
I was using alpha channels as the angles I've used so far don't lend themselves to making a straight mask. I'll stick with it though, it might look better on just the automated machine with no people.
Maybe being forced into working with odd angles and positions might give the video something unique over the rest, probably not though. I guess there's only one way to find out.

How can I create an iridescent effect in a Photoshop 3D object?

NO way. Such stuff isn't even commonly available in many 3D programs becaus it's actually pretty advanced shader stuff...

thanks

Use the bezier tool to create your shapes, give the shapes an Airbrush outline. Then apply a Write On behavior to each shape. Position the shapes in the timeline so they appear sequentially. To achieve the zooming out effect, you can either scale the whole group, or convert the group to 3D and use the camera to zoom out.

How can I get rid of shimmer effect in videos that I create in iMovie?

How can I get rid of shimmer effect in videos that I create from photos in iMovie?

Well, not sure - so exactly what resolution do you use to shoot? Go in your camera settings and check. And, is there a settings to choose for regular/extra/fine/superfine quality? I shoot at the highest quality - period. My size/resolution is either widescreen or larger than what I need for the movie. My TV is HD 720p - that means the screen will display 1200 x 720 pixels in HD; if you have a 1080p, it'd be 1920 x 1080. So shoot in a size a bit larger than that because they can be adjusted down without any quality loss, but can't be made larger without significant loss of quality.
But,again, the problem usually doesn't start until you add movement, but camera quality has something to do with it as well. I know that a previous camera I had was not as good and a lot of my slideshows/movies didn't come out as perfect as I would have liked. So I bought a more expensive camera - shoots in full 1080 HD and I haven't had a problem since.
As for exporting a slideshow: finish it in Photo to Movie and export to desktop at highest quality (will take a while). Here is a screenshot of my export settings:
Once done, you can simply choose that movie by going to "import movies" in iMovie and navigating to the location (I usually save to desktop - easy to find).

How can I create a scrolling effect where when the user scrolls down the image will blur out?

How can I create a scrolling effect where when the user scrolls down the image will blur out?

Hi there,
You can create a scroll motion where the image will fade out on scrolling, you need to use the Opacity tab under Scroll Effects Panel.
If you particularly need the image to be blur out, then you need to edit that image in any image editing program and make one copy of that image as blurred, then place both images (actual and blurred) on that page and use scroll motion or fade option to replace images.

How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

Just like you would create a new folder anywhere. Open the drive's icon from your desktop or the Finder, and click shift-command-N. (Or use the Finder menu if you prefer - File - New Folder).
If you can't create a folder, your drive may be the wrong format (you can't write to a Windows/NTFS formatted drive, for example). You'll have to back up any files you have on there, and then use Disk Utility to reformat it to Mac Extended (if it will only be used on a Mac) or MS-DOS format (if you want to share it with a PC).

How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

If you want Muse to "pass through" your images and not adjust, compress, crop etc - you need to place your images in the lightbox EXACTLY at the right size, pre-cropped and prepped in Photoshop.
So if your light box is 800x600 the image you're dropping into that must be 800x600 exactly with no effects, rotation etc added to the lightbox frame. This stop Muse fiddling with your images, if they are perfect when inserted and you're not asking Muse to crop, expand, add effects etc. If it's perfect when inserted, Muse SHOULD also leave the resolution alone too, but I have not tried that one, but in theory, it should work.

How can I create a full-screen view of Keynote slide in Snow Leopard?

How can I create a full-screen view of my Keynote slides in Snow Leopard?
I'm going to be importing into ScreenFlow to create a video.
Thank you!!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Do you want static screen captures or motion video of slides as titles, bullet points, and the like are presented?
Run the Keynote slide presentation in full-screen mode, then...
Static full-screen captures - use Command+Shift+3.
Static partial-screen captures - use Command+Shift+4 and use cursor to select the area of the screen to capture.
If you want motion video as builds occur, why not use Keynote's built-in Share, Export function?
(I'm on iLife '09.)
Also understand that the default slide format for Keynote is 1024x768, not full-screen MacBook 1280x800 screen size, so you'll have wide black borders unless you change the default size or crop the finished screen captures.
