How can you make a glowing outline on a picture?

I know on other versions of photoshop you can add an outline to an image. It has a speical name, i just can't think of it right now...Anyway i was wondering if you could do it on Photoshop Elements..and if so...how do i do it?

You can put a solid line around a selection using the edit>stroke function. There are different ways to get the stroke line to glow, some depend on which version of Elements you have. Here's one way:
1. Put the object you want to have a glow on its own layer.
2. Create a new layer below the object layer before you start and make it the active layer -- this gives you more flexibility as you create the effect.
3. Select the object within the image that you want to put the outline around before you go to edit>stroke. Cntl-clicking the object layer is an easy way to do this.
4. You can vary the width of the stroke and how it is positioned -- for a glow, I'd choose centered. Pick a glow color.
5. With the stroke layer active, use the gaussian blur filter to fuzz the stroke into a glow.

  • How can you make one button preform different actions in Xcode?

    How can you make one button "preform a click" and "orderfront"? Is that possible? Because what I am doing is making a welcome window to my application for Mac OS X 10.6, and I have two buttons in that window, one says "Connect" which connects a a WebView to a url and the other button opens up the main window. So how can I a make a button do multiple things at once??

    Ah - If you are just using bindings between various objects from Interface Builder, you can reduce your application code a bit (sometimes quite a bit), but there is only so far you can go. Typically variables and routines are defined in your application that Interface Builder hooks into, so that your application code (usually Objective-C, but can be others) can use these variables and routines to determine what is happening in the user interface.
    I'm not sure how up-to-date the project code is (or what programming code you are familiar with), but you can take a look at Apple's Cocoa Application Tutorial to see what is (usually) involved in creating an application.

  • How can you make your persona show on the top and bottom? Also can you make it bigger at the top to show more of the picture?

    How can you make your persona show on the top and bottom?
    Also can you make it bigger at the top to show more of the picture?

    Add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona.<br />
    You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via View > Toolbars > Customize<br />
    You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.<br />

  • How can you shrink the size of an upright picture to make it smaller without losing any of the detail in it??? At the moment, if I view them on my laptop, landscape photos fill the screen, but portrait photos only show the middle part.

    How can you shrink the size of an upright picture to make it smaller without losing any of the detail in it (in Slideshow)??? At the moment, if I view them on my Mac Laptop, landscape photos fill the screen, but portrait photos only show the middle part, so I loose the top and bottom of the picture.  Have tried cropping, but that means I lose top and bottom part of the picture, so that is not the answer!!

    Homestly haven't a clue what's going on there. 
    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • How can you make a field "key" in transformation rules - master data maping

    Hello ,
    We are in the process of creating some custom master data datasources for HR module. In this we are trying to extract fields from particular infotypes. In my situation we are pulling fields from only one table PA0032.  From this table I am making a view where in I am selecting all the key fields from that table and including 2 other fields (Buliding name and room number). Now I create an ATTR master datasource with this view and check in RSA3 I see the data very good. All this is time dependent data like for Employee he might be in buliding AB room 32 first and then get moved to Buliding CD room 34. So we need to keep a history of the records. Now I replicate the DS in BW system, and create custom infoobjects for building and room no. I create an infoobject called Zworkaddress and dates I use 0VALIDTO and 0VALIDFROm. I make both the dates, bulding and room as attributes of ZWORKADDRESS. Now I map all the fields from datasource to the infoobject but field ZWORKADDRESS is on,y coming up as KEy field not the dates and subtype. Thats why I am getting only the last record not all the records of the emplyee work address. 
    We are using BI 7.0, so my question is how can I make the other fields as key's so that I can have all records.
    Thanks in advance.

    Kiran,
       If you make any one time dependant system will create Dateto and date from internally. we don't need to add those.
    1. for Employee, add Company Address as attribute. make this as Time Dependant. keep Subtype as Compounding key to your employer. then you will get Employee, Sub Type and Dates as key fields. you can have complete history of Employee Address change.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can you make an image adjustment on all images in a Stack

    If one had a stack of images that need a brightness adjustment. How can you preform the adjustment a stack of images that need the same amount of adjustment?
    Many times I have a stack of images that need a +10 brightness adjustment on them and it would save a lot of time if I could do it on a whole stack of images.

    good points, as l/s takes every adjustment ... including autolevels/exposure ... BUT DOESN'T make them auto to the next image(s), it just lifts the current image settings !!! which is fine for a five shoot series all at the same exposure, but not so much when it is not !!!

  • How can you make phone ring but text vibrate

    How do you set your phone to ring but all other notifications ie texts &amp;emails vibrate?
    This question is for iPhone 4 &amp; 4s

    As i mentioned up top, you can do this with a silent ringtone. I have read some app's have muted ringtones(don't know of the app name though) OR, GarageBand can make ringtones on Mac. (that is where i think you would need further explaining on, if you have Mac).
    The silent tone will be set as text's tone (as the same if it made noise), it will vibrate two times quick...While asleep, awake, on a phone call, still texting, at almost any time i can think of, (other than powered OFF.)
    I have recommended this method, for people asking as a regular ringtone, for telemarketer's, unknown callers, and other sort of people. And YES, you will need the Vibrate turned on.
    Hope this helped.

  • How can I make a "glowing" effect?

    This seems a bit ridiculous. I work with premiere all the time, and I know I've seen this a million times before, but I have no idea how to create it. I have a beauty shot of a product and I want the footage to "glow", I used to do it all the time for Deja vu stuff when I was in highschool, but that was in iMovie and it was just a drop in effect.
    What does premeire have that can create a similar look? I've tried a few plugins but I have yet to find anything that works. First time I've needed this look in about 4 years

    I have done similar with Titles, where I use Gaussian Blur, and some extreme Color Correction to create an "outer glow," behind the Text.
    It would be easy to do similar, and either Key around your product, or use a Track Matte Key to limit that "glow" to be where you want it.
    The Effect is somewhat similar to the Outer Glow in Titler, but with much more control, and the one difference is that with a non-Text image, you need to remove background from that footage, around where you want the glow to show.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - depending on your product, you might be able to just use one of the Garbage Mattes, to do the work of eliminating some of the background. That would save having to work with Alpha Channels, but if the product moves, then Keying would be the way to go.

  • How can you make an image change every time you refresh a page?

    Hi.
    I've recently redone my website and was wondering how I could make the image on my main page change every time you refresh the page?
    Like is there a certain script you can use?
    Here's my website
    www.liamfawcett.com
    Thanks

    Copy & Paste the following JavaScript code between the <head> and </head> tags in your HTML document, in Code View of course.
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--//Random Banner image on Page Reload
    //store the images in arrays below
    images = new Array(5);
    images[0] = "<a href='http://www.example.com'><img src='some_image.gif' </a>";
    images[1] = "<a href='http://www.example.com'><img src='some_image.gif' </a>";

    images[4] = "<a href='http://www.example.com'><img src='some_image.gif' </a>";
    index = Math.floor(Math.random() * images.length);
    document.write(images[index]);
    //done
    // -->
    </script>
    In the array, change URLs (http://www.example.com) to your own links.  Change images (some_image.gif) to your own images.
    Save page.  Preview in browser.  Hit refresh (F5 or Ctrl+R) to see the images change.

  • How can you make 3d models work in Motion 5 or Final Cut Pro for under 100$

    How would you be able to make a 3d model appear in Final Cut Pro or Motion and work, for cheap.

    Not sure what you mean by work or cheap but if you're looking to do 3D modelling on the cheap I'd suggest looking into Google Sketchup or Cheetah 3D- http://www.cheetah3d.com/. FCP X and Motion are not 3D modellers.

  • HT1461 How can you make more 'Ram' available using bootcamp, on the windows side of things??

    Hey, i recently bought an iMac 20.5' (i5) and it came with 4gb Ram
    I am a music producer but the program i use is windows based, so i got bootcamp, all that works fine
    but ive been working on a new song for a while now and the prgoram has an 'indicator' showing how much CPU usage % and ram is being used.
    it is now at 1956mb! which should efffect because i have 4gb! right!??.. no it says (in windows sytem) 2.3gb (available)....
    So i went out and bought an extra 4gb, followed the instructions and Ram went int easy!!. I log onto Mac and yep 8 GB Of RAM!!
    so then i log into windows (through bootcamp ofcourse) and still 2.3 gb available....
    anyone know if i can make more avaible?? or do i have to reinstall windows through bootcamp???
    Thankyou
    P.S. 32 but windows 7 is what i use

    Windows installed using Boot Camp uses all your comptrer's resources.
    Windows 7 32 bit can only use about 3 GB of RAM. The limitation is that 32 bits can not address more than this. If you want to address and use more RAM then you need Windows 64 bit.
