How can I distort an image like 3d bubbles.

Hello everyone. What I'm wanting to accomplish is making an image (static image jpg) feel like it's a lava lamp. I found a really good tutorial on creative a lava lamp effect (the bubble movement) here (http://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/video-tutorial-creating-a-lava-lamp-effect/) and I've had no trouble getting that working. What I want now, is to be able to use that a mask over an image (again, no problem there), but now I want the image that is behind it to "bulge" outward as if the image was part of the bubbles (in a 3d space). Feeling like the image was "wrapped" around the lava bubbles, or something to that nature. It doesn't have to be a big bulge, just enough that it doesn't feel like a flat mask (window through to the image behind) and instead feels more like a physical object.
Is that possible with AE, or would I need to look into actually modeling a lava lamp in a 3D application and texturing it with my image? (I have some 3D experience, but would prefer to use AE if at all possible).

Here's an oldie: AE Tips and Tricks: Advanced Displacement Maps

How can I save my images like a "wedding photographer" does?

I have a Pixma PRO-100. . . with a Windows 8.1 PC. . . and printing through Adobe Photoshop Elements 11.
I just printed some wedding pictures of my daughter - which I got from the "wedding photographer"... when I printed them - they were an exact match to what I saw on my screen (which I've calibrated)... and dead on crisp, great quality.
I'm wondering what a wedding photographer does to their images to make them so "solid" in printing. How do they save them?
when I print something from a my files, (Raw, NEF, or JPEG's) - there always seems to be a color or quality problem? Never a match. It takes several adjustments and print samples before I get what I want.
Is the ICC Profile a problem - or How can I save my images like a wedding photog does? So they print exact?

" ... (Raw, NEF, or JPEG's) ... "
I suspect there are some minor differences you are not seeing and/or noticing on screen. But right off, no real wedding photographer will shoot in anything except RAW. You should be using RAW, only, too. The RAW file to start with has way more info in it than any jpeg does.
Next I would bet your wedding photographer does some tweaking to highlights and shadows, plus s ome other stuff that you are not. In other words he is getting the photos ready for printing. Remember printing on paper and "printing for on screen" is two different things.

How can I make a image like this one? (image in description)

Hi guys I need to know how can I make a image like this one http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/2710/69823211.gif
I need step by step instructions please. How can I animate it like that? Whats the font? Tell me everything please.

To do a step by step instruction on here will take someone a very long time, as you havent really said at what level you are at.
On Youtube there are a lot of animation tutorials for PS. But essentially in this case you are moving that white streak across a few frames at a time.
The font might be found with the help of http://http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

How can I get an image from the screen? Like screen printer in PC to pasting after in word or other program.

How can I get an image from the screen? Like screen printer in PC to pasting after in word or other program.

If you do Cmd+Shift+3 you'll get a full screen image saved to your desktop as a jpg file.
Also, you can use Cmd+Shift+4 and you'll get a cursor which you click+drag to draw a box. When you release the drag the boxed in area will be saved to the Desktop as a jpg file.

How can we get the image which is stored in clipboard by labview, is there any functions available like text from clip board

How can we get the image which is stored in clipboard by labview, i can get the text in clipboard by using invoke node directly.but i cannot get the image, is there any functions or vi available.(image is in Png format)

The Read from Clipboard method is, unfortunately, limited to text. If the clipboard contains an image then you need to use OS-specific functions calls. This is an example program for Windows. It's old, but it should still work.

Re: How can I post an image?

Merging the hints, how does this look?
Showing an image in Apple Discussions requires two things.
1. The image has to exist and be accessible from a working server somewhere.
2. Then the image can be referenced in html and will appear in your post.
1. To achieve the first you need to register on one of the many free web photo hosting sites. An example of one would be Flicker. (If you have your own web site you can of course host your picture there.)
Having taken a snapshot of the thing in question (the image), perhaps by using the Grab application on your Mac, you upload the image to your photo hosting site.
You'll then need to get its URL from the site. It might be easy to see or you might have to read the site's FAQ for those details, as there are differences between sites.
Easier still, if you are using Safari or Firefox right clicking (or Control click with a one button mouse) on the uploaded image will copy the link for you.
It will have a form like this:
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2186/24541163585b68ff68b8s.jpg
When you find it, open a new tab in your browser and paste it into it, to check that it displays and is therefore the correct URL for the image.
2. To add this image to your post here on Apple Discussions, place an exclamation point before and after the link, illustrated as,
!http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2186/24541163585b68ff68b8s.jpg!
which produces the image in the post.
!http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2186/24541163585b68ff68b8s.jpg!
An alternate html format is;
<img src="http://source.address.of.image.jpg"/>

How can you upload an image to MYSQL using php?

Ok this is a joint thread with one of my other ones because no one else was posting on it, so I did not get what I needed, so, How can you upload an image to mysql so when some one logs on to my site, they see or can upload there own avatar, now there are loads of problems with this, 1) many people don't know how, 2) It's not every day you try to encode a image into mysql, 3) Letting people upload images into mysql can cause traffic problem with people trying to log in. So that's it.

Uploading images into MySQL is a bad idea, for more reasons than you mention. You should store the images in a directory on the server instead. But if you want to learn the hard way, here is the method:
The mysql data type must be blob.
The form enctype must be multipart, like this: enctype="multipart/form-data"
The form input field myst be type file, like this: <input type="file" name="upload"/>
Here is example code that prepares the variable $photodata to be inserted into the database.
$uploadfile = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'];
$photoname = $_FILES['upload']['name'];
$uploadtype = $_FILES['upload']['type'];
if ($uploadfile != "") {
$tempfile = fopen($uploadfile, 'rb');
$filesize=filesize($uploadfile);
$width=getimagesize($uploadfile);
$widthx=$width[0];
$heightx=$width[1];
if (($widthx > 102) or (heightx > 135)){
$image_too_big = " but the image size was too large and was not submitted.";
} else {
$photodata = fread($tempfile, filesize($uploadfile));
$photodata = addslashes($photodata);

How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?

How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?
In otherwords I'd like to put my logo in the email not as an attachment but as an image.
Is there a simpel solution to this problem?

PBN1 wrote:

You don't.
It's not possible. The e-mail protocol is designed for text; anything else has to go as an attachment.
Different mail clients (such as Mail.app, the mail client bundled with Mac OS X) may have different ways of handling such attachments, but they are still attachments. Each mail client has its own rules and methods, so one may display a picture as if it were in the body of the message, but another client may do something completely different.
A way of faking it is to format your message in HTML (which is a kind of text). The image is hosted on a remote server, not added to the message; instead, you include a link to it in the body of the message, as you would when building a web page. (This is also what the two tips helpfully provided by X423424X do, except that the link to the image is added in the signature, rather than the body of the message.) What exactly happens to it is, again, at the discretion of the mail client. In my case, for instance, displaying images in HTML messages is turned off, and will stay resolutely off.

How can i upload a image file to server by using jsp or servlet.

Hi,
I m gurumoorthy. how can i upload a image file to server by using jsp or servlet without using third party API. pls anyone send me atleast outline of the source code.
Pls send me anyone.
Regards,
Gurumoorthy.

I'm not an applet programmer so I can't give you much advice there.
If you want to stream the file from the server before it's entirely uploaded, then I don't believe you can treat it like a normal file. If you're just wanting to throw it up there and then listen to it, then you can treat it like a normal file.
But again, I'm not entirely certain. You might be able to stream the start of the file from the server while you're still uploading the end of it, but it probably depends on what method you're using to do the transfer.

How do I create an image like this?

Completely new to PS. How would I create an image like this with text? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151570901245020&set=pb.50687255019.-2207520000.1 366989903.&type=3&theater
A link to a tutorial would be helpful.
Thanks!

Hi there,
Are you referring to the text, the color effect, or both?
Adding type is very easy - just grab the Type Tool from the tool bar. The article linked above provides some great tips for editing type in Photoshop.
As is the case with many "how to's" for Photoshop, there are several ways to acheive the colorized effect like the one applied to image you linked to. One method is to use Adjustment Layers, which I have outlined below.
1. With your image layer active (it will be highlighted in blue in your Layers panel, as shown below), create a selection of the area you'd like to colorize. I'm using the Polygonal Lasso Tool to create a diagonal selection - to do so, I held down the Shift key on my keyboard as a created my diagonal lines. This might take a bit of practice, but you'll get the hang of it quickly.
2. Then, in your Adjustments panel (if you don't see it, go to Window > Adjustments), click on the Curves adjustment layer, as highlighted below. Now you can play around with the curves to get the effect you'd like. (Here's a quick guide on using the Curve tool)
3. To select the other areas of your image, command (Mac) / control (PC) click on the adjustment layer thumbnail (highlighted below). Then, go to Select > Inverse.
4. Now we want to deselect part of our selection. Grab the Quick Selection Tool from the toolbar and set it to Subract from selection. Then, simply drag the selection brush over the area you want to deselect. In my case, I only want to have the upper-left corner of my image selected.
5. After you have your selection, click on the image layer and add a Curves adjustment layer like before.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for the other corner of your image and you should end up with something like this:
The nice thing about using adjustment layers is that you can always change them - just double click on the Adjustment layer thumbnail (highlighted in step 3).
Alternatively, you can select areas of your image and fill the selections with flat colors on separate layers. You can then go in a change the Blend Mode and Opacity for each layer.
Feel free to reply with any questions!

How can I save an image I have created in Pages as a jpeg?

How can I save an image I have created in Pages as a jpeg? The image has both a photo and various text boxes. I would like to use it in one of the Photocard websites but they only accept jpeg. Any easy solutions please.

Hold command shift 4 and draw a box around what you want and then click again, on your desktop a .png file will appear.
To convert it to jpeg, open it in Preview and Save as.
if you want all your screenshots to be jpg, download the free Tinkertool and make the change.

How can I create a drawing like the one pictured from a photo?

How can I create a drawing like the one pictured from a photo?

OK, you are getting closer. Now, use your result, and place a Layer above that. Use the Pen Tool to create the "pen strokes" basically tracing over your background image. Then, when you have created each Path (or Sub-Path), choose Stroke Path, with probably the Pencil Tool and a Brush size that is small enough.
Not sure which versions of PS these are good for, but here are some plug-ins, that might be helpful.

Image like that can be achieved many different ways there is no right or wrong no one way to do things in Photoshop. There are also many third Add-Ons developed for Photoshop.

if I bothering you.

There are probably 1000's of tutorial about layout in WPF but I have found that the people on this forum have the best handle on how to use WPF. I am now near a workstation and have the following code example which should get you started. (the example
is in VB but it is the XAML which is important).
<Window x:Class="MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" Loaded="Window_Loaded">
<Window.Resources>
<Style TargetType="ListBox" x:Key="myListbox" >
<Setter Property="ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Hidden"></Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Visible" ></Setter>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid Background="#FF040404">
<ListBox Style="{StaticResource myListbox }"
HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="237" Margin="23,46,0,0"
VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="470"
ItemsSource="{Binding theList}" Background="Transparent" >
<ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<UniformGrid Rows="2"></UniformGrid>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid Background="#FF574A4A" Width="150" Height="75" Margin="0,0,10,0" >
<TextBlock Text="{Binding theCaption}" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Foreground="#FFF5EFEF"></TextBlock>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</Grid>
</Window>
Class MainWindow
Public Property theList As New List(Of theItem)
Private Sub Window_Loaded(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
For i As Integer = 0 To 5
Dim ti As New theItem With {.theCaption = "Caption " + i.ToString}
theList.Add(ti)
Next
DataContext = Me
End Sub
End Class
Public Class theItem
Public Property theCaption As String
End Class
The above XAML define a listbox with the properties I mentioned in my previous post. There is a listbox with an ItemTemplate (define how each item should be displayed) and a definition of how the layout
should be done (ItemsPanel). The is also a style which uses datatriggers to show/hide your scrollbar. If you have questions about what I presented please ask but I would ask that you try it first so that you can see how it looks .
And I'm sorry for the small font above but this forum editor constantly give me problems.
