How can I soften the edges of a picture

I am trying to create a soft white frame around the outside of the picture. How can I do this. Thank you. I have Elements 10

There are several ways to do this.
Try Filter>Correct Camera Distortion, and work the Vignette sliders.
If this is not what you are after, please point to a picture with the desired effect.

How can I make the edges of the JSC component curved?

It is a very common practice to make the edges curved in web development. Curved edge looks attractive and professional. (for example see blog.com)
How can I make the edges of the JSC component curved? For example, consider Textfield component, how to make the the sharp edges smooth and curved?
Thank you very much.

Follow the steps below implement rounded edges for tabs in a tabset component:
1)Create 2 images: level1_selected.jp and level1_deselct.jpg to be used as the background for these tabs. Thse images can be easily craeted using windows paint software. Just ceate a rectangular image of size 200X30 and draw a rounded rectangle on it.
2) Redefine the following styles in your application stylesheet(originally defined in css_master.css)
.Tab1Div td.Tab1TblSelTd {
     background-color:#EDF5F8;width: 200px;height:40px;background-image:url(images/level1_selected.jpg)
.Tab1Div td.Tab1TblSelTd {
     background-repeat:repeat-x;background-position:left bottom;border-bottom:none
.Tab1Div td {
     background-color:#EFEBEF;width: 200px;height:40px;background-image:url(images/level1_deselect.jpg);border:none
.Tab1Div td {
     background-repeat:repeat-x;background-position:bottom left
a.Tab1Lnk:link, a.Tab1Lnk:visited {
     display:block;padding:8px 15px 0px;font-weight:bold;text-align:center
Results: By doing this you'll have the selected and unselected tabs show up with rounded egdes and also the selected tab will look bigger than the unselected tas making it more prominent.

You could also export the image and use your Preview application to change pixel dimensions.
Open the image in Preview.
Go to: Tools > Image size.
Type in the dimensions you want.

How can i get the images from a picture ring into a cell in Excel?

Hi
I need to get the chosen image from a picture ring into a cell in a Excel worksheet. If i use an invoke node i only get to write a picture from file. How can i get the picture directly from the picture ring into Excel?
Kenneth

No, there is no simple way of doing it directly. You need some clipboard manipulation which means you need to write some codes in excel as well. Importing the image through a file is much easier.

How can I sharpen the edges of my image?

A newb to PS here... How would you smooth pixelated edges to achieve sharp edges as in the below image of a hinge? Thx.

You can place the low res image in Illustrator then using the Pen Tool to draw white shapes around it, essentially hiding the jagged edges.
Alternatively, you could upsample the low res file in Photoshop and do the same thing there with its vector tools.
To get smooth lines you need a high res image, which your file is not. By a long shot.
The best solution would be rephotographing the product at a high resolution.
Where is this picture going? (web? printed catalog?)

Rotating an image gives black edges, How can I make the edges white?

Hi I used the following code to rotate an image:
// The "ShiftImageByDegrees" class.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.image.renderable.*;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.media.jai.*;
import hsa.Console;
public class ShiftImageByDegrees
    static Console c;           // The output console
    public static RenderedOp rotate (RenderedImage image, double ang)
        ParameterBlock pb = new ParameterBlock ();
        pb.addSource (image);
        pb.add ((float) (image.getWidth ()) / 2);
        pb.add ((float) (image.getHeight ()) / 2);
        pb.add ((float) ang);
        return JAI.create ("rotate", pb);
    public static void main (String[] args)
        c = new Console ();
        // Doing for every single image:
        File folder = new File ("Images/");
        File[] listOfFiles = folder.listFiles ();
        for (int i = 0 ; i < listOfFiles.length ; i++)
            if (listOfFiles .isFile ())
c.println ("Image: " + listOfFiles [i].getName ());
try
// Load Image:
String imageName = "";
RenderedImage image = ImageIO.read (new File ("Images/" + listOfFiles [i].getName ()));
RenderedImage outputImage = rotate (image, 0.03490658503988659);
ImageIO.write (outputImage, "bmp", new File ("hello.bmp"));
catch (IOException e)
// Place your program here. 'c' is the output console
} // main method
} // ShiftImageByDegrees class
The above code goes to a directory named Images and finds any images and rotates it by 2 degrees (i.e. 0.03490658503988659 radians) and writes them as hello. The rotate method gives the image correctly rotated but the problem is that the edges are black. I would like to make the edges white. The edges are defaulted as black I assume but is there a way I can change that to white?

Never mind. Solved it by negating the source image first.

How can I soften the edge of a person in a photograph without changing the background?

I need to soften the outline of a girl in a photo without changing the background. I have tried the Modify Edges tool in the selections menu, but the results of the feathering command do not show up on the photo. Help!

Or you could brush with the Blur Tool.

How can I set the caption text of picture controls inside an array or how can I choose which array element is assigned using the array elements caption text property.

I have 8 picture controls inside an array and I would like to set the caption text of these controls.
I have used the property node of the array and used the array elements property caption text to set the text.
The problem is however that I set the same text to all the picture controls inside the array.
My question is how to set caption text of specific elements (Picture control) that I have so far only been able to access using the array elements caption text property.

Some more help
1 You could use the caption of the array and place it in front of the selected picture and update that using property nodes.
2 Like Norbett said if you use a cluster of pictures then their caption can be updated individually.
Here is a an example that demonstrates the above

How can I refine the edges between colors?

I have an image with pixelated edges and i want to make those edges sharper so that you dont notice them at 100% zoom. I tried the sharpen tool but it does not do what I want.
In this sample image, I manually refined the left half of the pixelated diagonal line.
(The top right is what I want to change so that it looks like the part in the bottom left, which I did manually)

I think you miss understand what sharper means. It will not add pixels to remove stair-stepping. If anything it would make it more pronounced.
A blur will blend the two colors together to make it look like there is no edge, So that would not really work either.
Does this image have to be a certain size? Reducing the final print size will make it look sharper and less stair-stepped. But none the less they will still be there.
The new algorithm that will be in the next version of photoshop will help with this issue, but still does not totally solve it.
@all new users,
And this is why it is always best to start with the highest resolution possible, so you don't run into this issue.
@Alex,
You could try one of the algorithm's for upsampling and see if they help, try one, undo try the next and so on. No promises, but maybe one of them will be worth settling on.
If you know that the area is a solid color, you could use the pen tool to create the edge then fill the center with that color, thats the only way I can think of to recreate that area with a sharp edge. But if it is lots of small areas, then one of the other solutions would have to be settled on. (If you do recreate the area with the pen tool make sure your image is high enough resolution to make it worth the effort {In other words if the resolution is too low, your wasting your time} )

How can i set the location of my pictures in photos app for mac osx?

Not every photo I import into my MacBook have all the metadata in them. iPhoto allowed for setting the location, but in Photos I cannot manage to do so. Is there another way to do it or perhaps it's coming with an update?
Thanks
MacBook Mid-2010
OSX Yosemite 10.10.3
Photos 1.0

Adding location data is not yet supported in Photos.
And we do not know, if future updates will support this feature. It might help, if you send back feedback to Apple with a feature request. You can use this form: Apple - Photos - Feedback
As a work-around, use third party apps to add location data before you import the photos to Photos.
You could, for example, first import to iPhoto, add the locations, batch change the titles and captions, do all the things that are not yet supported in the new Photos, then export the photos from iPhoto and import them to Photos.
Or use the free exiftool, if you like the Terminal.
See: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/exiftool_pod.html#geotagging_exampl es
To install exiftool: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/%7Ephil/exiftool/install.html
Other convenient apps are Jetphoto Studio, Geotagalog, there are many more ..
I use Jetphoto Studio, but it is not free.

How can I increase the resolution of a picture used in the burned DVD?

My version is Elements 10 and I have always had a problem when making the main menu that included a picture. Even if the picture is 12 MPixels it appears as if is less then 1 MPixels.

VideoEditor
From what you wrote, you are not targeting the resolution of the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc that you are producing in Premiere Elements. Rather you are targeting the disc menus that are applied to a given project destined for DVD-VIDEO on DVD . Difference.
What you get in the disc menus (main and scene) traces back to the creation of .psd files in Premiere Elements folders on the computer hard drive hard drive. There 3 different .psd sets for each theme. One "s" for standard, "w" for widescreen, and "hd" for high definition. Whether you are in NTSC or PAL, "s" and "w" have a frame size of 720 x 576, and "hd" 1440 x 1080.
The choices (what you see) for "hd" and non "hd" menus in the disc menus section of the program is determined by the project preset. If you have a "hd" project, you will get some "hd" choices mixed with non hd choices. When you pick one of the non hd choices, believe it or not, the program may give you the "s" 4:3 version of the .psd and not the "w" version. The details can be overwhelming.
Bottom line:
You can set the resolution of your main menu inserts as high as you want, however you may crash the feature and or program and still not achieve better clarify/sharpness for the image in Disc Menu Preview or in playback of the final product. For the inserts, you can scale them to fit the insert space if black borders. Some buttons can be scaled to a larger size, of course within the limits of the total space provided and only if you do not create overlapping of the buttons.
Please review and if you need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks.

How can I delete the glare in a picture?

I made some pictures of PVC strips for my website and have light glare from the windows in the rolls.
Is it possible to take the light glare out to make the products look better?

That looks like a reflection.
A couple of Layers (with Layer Masks maybe) and the Clone Stamp Tool may suffice.

How can I get the frame option that diffuses the edges of a picture in pages 5.2

I recently updated to Pages 5.2 and have discovered that my favorite and most used framing option is no longer a choice. How can I get the frame option that allowed you to diffuse the edges to soften a picture edges on 5.2?

That is called the vignette, and yes Apple has removed it from Pages 5 along with 100 other features.
Pages '08/'09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder so use that.
Be aware that Pages 5.2 is not only short of features it is also buggy and prone to leaving you with files that won't open.
