How can I join together a photo and a text (or other vector files)?
Hi all.
I'm trying to do a poster with a sort of graffiti writings on a wall but I can't reach for any kind of realism. I'd like to see the writing on the wall like it was actually written.
I'm using a real photo behind the writings but the image and the text don't connect together, it is simply like a copy-past work. I don't know if I was clear because English is not my first language.. the effect I'd like to reach is like if the writings were printed on the wall.. but the wall is a photo so I don't know if they can be joined together..
Sounds like you are looking to make the writing realistic. That is better done in photoshop. Some tisp you can sue
use a blending mode on your writing so that it blends naturally into
If your wall is made of brick for example, you can save a grayscale imageg of your weall and use displace in photoshop to distort the writng so it looks liek it is follwoing a bump mapo of the grayscale imaeg you made
you can use a grayscale of your wall as a mask on your writing. Use a curve to brighten the mask, so most of the writing shows through, except for some edges and such you want to roughen up

How can I start anew with Photos and clear the (minimal) stuff it has uploaded
I've about had it up to here with this new Photos scheme. I reorganised my Aperture libraries on both my iMac and MBA in preparation for this, delayed turning Photos on for a couple of days until I thought everything was ready based upon the limited advice that was out there, and then got stuck in an endless loop of "uploading" and "preparing" every time I opened Photos. There are 19,975 images in my Aperture library on the iMac. I was stuck at Uploading at anywhere between that number and 19,000 with no progress after hours of waiting. I tried all the tricks mentioned here including re booting, restarting the app, repairing/rebuilding the database, killing the "cloudd" process, etc.today Today when I restarted Photos, it now said I had 23,775 images to upload- 4000
more than I have-and of course it got stuck there, like it has for the last week.
I copied the previous Aperture library (pre Photos migration)back to my iMac and opened it in Aperture. Thankfully, all the photos I had taken on my iPhone this week during this Photos clusterphuck transition were in the Aperture Stream so I didn't lose any of those. I'm willing to give this whole thing one more shot. So i need some advice. How can I start anew with Photos and clear the (minimal) stuff it has uploaded (about 6000 of 19,000 images in the last 7 days) ? If I simply delete the Photos.photolibrary file will that do the trick and lt me start a new fresh library using?

It is hard to say from your post, why the migration did not succeed in your case.
by "stuck on upload" do you mean, you opened the Aperture library in Photos, and Photos converted it to a Photo Library, and then the upload to iCloud Photo Library did hang? Or did already the upgrade to the Photo Library fail?
If you want the Aperture library to upload to iCloud Photo Library, it needs to be on a disk formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled) and the original image files must not be referenced. Referenced originals will not upload.
Also, the upload may hang, if you do not have enough free iCloud storage, orr if one of the videos or photos in your library is in an unsupported format or corrupted.
To start over, try to repair and rebuild the Aperture library before opening it in Photos. Try all Aperture Library First Aid options - starting with repairing the permissions. (Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual)
If I simply delete the Photos.photolibrary file will that do the trick and lt me start a new fresh library using?
You will have to delete the photos that are already in icloud too; otherwise you are risking duplicates.
Can you launch Photos at all? If yes, delete all photos in Photos and empty the Recently Deleted album. Wait for the deletion to sync to iCloud. Then delete the Photos.photolibrary. -
HT4889 How can I transfer my iPhoto photos and iTunes library to my new iMac?
How can I transfer my iPhoto photos and iTunes library to my new iMac?
If the Migration Assistant won't do it, move them over as you would any other folder; they're located in the Pictures and Music folders of your home folder by default. The iPhoto library needs to be transferred via a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended or through an AFP network share.

I ask the third time:
How can I enlarge the menue symbols and the text of the menue in Photoshop CS6 vers.13 so that I can read them??? My laptop has Win 8.1 and a screen resolution of 3840x2160.
It is unbelievable that such an expensive software does not provide a proper lay out wit a high screen resolution!
It is also unbelivable that it is not possible to get a qualified employee of ADOBE on the phone in Germany.
hope of feed back: e-mail: [email protected]Chris Cox answered your question here:
I have PS cs6 extended and a new laptop with screen resolution of 3840x2160. Now all control elements and menues are so small that I can not reed them. How can I make them readable without reducing the resolution of the schreen? -
I purchased an iPhone 3 and had taken some photos on it. I started having issues within 30 days and could replace it. So I created an iCloud account and saved those photos as a back up on iCloud. I did not restore my new phone from back up because I did not realize I needed to restore and not just activitate it. How can I save the new photos, apps, and other stuff but retrieve the old photos?
If all you want is your old photos, you could backup your new phone using iTunes, then restore it from your iCloud backup, import the old photos to your computer, then restore it from the backup your made in iTunes returning your newer data to your phone. If you want your old photos on your phone, sync them there from your computer using iTunes. The process would look like this:
Connect your phone to your computer, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on it and select Transfer Purchases; right-click again and select Backup.
Disconnect from your computer and go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings to return it to new
Go through the activation setup, choosing to Restore from iCloud backup. Make sure your phone is plugged into a charger and has access to wi-fi as this can take hours to complete.
When complete, without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to Preferences. On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
Now import the old photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
When done, open iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose the backup you made in step 1.
Go to the Photos tab and select the photos you want to sync to your phone and sync. -
I have taken pictures with both my Sony camera and my iPhone of items that are linked to a database that I am building, as well as my website. How can I bypass importing the images into iPhoto and simply downloading the images as "files" not "photos" so I can access them with my database? thanx.
If your Sony has a removable memory card you can use a card reader to copy the image files from to a folder on your Desktop and then move them anywhere you'd like.
Since the iPhone doesn't have a removable memory card you can try using Image Capture to see if you can manually upload the files to a folder on the Desktop.
If you have to import the photos, which are image files, into iPhoto you can then export them out of iPhoto to the Desktop and go from there to your database. Just because they are in iPhoto doesn't prevent you from using them elsewhere.

How can I recover accidentally deleted photos and videos?
My sister sorted the photos into albums in my dad's ipad then she deleted all the photos from camera roll. Surely, all photos and videos were erased. Please help me. There are many pictures there that I need for my wedding. I badly need them.
Unless you backed up your iPad to iCloud or to a computer, they are gone. You cannot safely recover photos from the iPad.

How can I control the space before and after text in a table
Hello
I have a series of icons with descriptions, these are lined up with icons on the top row and description text in the bottom row. Each icon and description is divided by a stapled line.
The text is of varying width, therefore the column width must also wary. However I would like to make the space before and after the text equal in all instances (See image).
If there is anyone that can tell me how to do this with tables or any other tools I would be very thankful.The only way I can think of to maintain equla spacing between the text ov vartying lengths and the vertical lines is to put each icon/text pair in it's own frame fitted to content, make each vertical line a separate object, then select them all and distribute the spacing.

How can I customise layout of photos and text PhotoBooks in Photos
I started a PhotoBook in iPhoto on Maverick. Before it was finished I upgraded to Yosemite and found that iPhotos has been replaced by Photos. When I tried to continue editing ie enlarge my text box or make a photo from landscape to portrait, it does not accept "Command + Option + arrow. As I am in the middle of creating the book, I am in a bit of trouble. Can anyone give me new commands that work in "Photo"?
Annie.eHave you tried using iPhoto and the iPhoto Library? You will need iPhoto 9.6.1 but if you had any version of iPhoto 9 at the time of upgrade you may be able to go to the App Store and download iPhoto 9.6.1.
You've learned one of the age old adages of computing: Never upgrade before finishing a project.
One method of customizing a page in a photo book is to create the page in Pages in the landscape orientation for US letter - borderless. When done do a Print ➙ Save as PDF of the one page. In Preview select the one page and export as a jpeg. Add that jpeg file to Photos add to the Book and use in this layout:
which is using the photo for the page's background.
A tutorial on how another method to customize a page (but for iPhoto) is: iP11 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book. Some of the elements can be used for Photos. I'm working on a tutorial for Photos but it won't be ready for a while yet. -

}Using this BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB for the type will eliminate any transparency in
your image. Try BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB.

How can I get back lost photos and videos after updating
I am having a big problem I tried to use a back up but that didn't work out well.
You should be importing all pics and vids taken with iphone regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any update or restore
If you failed to do this, then they are very likely gone.
All you can do is try a restore from backup -

Transfer your library from your old computer, or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

How can I change "manually manage music and videos" option whitout loose my files?
When I change "manually manage music and videos" option iTunes delete all my files first. This a stupid thing from Apple.
Anybody knows if exists a way to change this option without loose the contents in iPhone?Denis DCS wrote:
...New iTunes installation...
There's the magic words right there.
The iPhone will only sync with 1 iTunes library at a time. If you want to sync to a new iTunes installation, you have to re-establish the sync relationship, which means wiping the phone and replacing the content with what's in the current iTunes library on the computer.
There is NO WAY around this.
