How Do I Create a Vector Image from A Custom Shape?

I have tried a bunch of tutorials, but I just can't seem to get it to work. I'm using Photoshop CS6. I'll walk you through my process as best I can so that hopefully you can catch the step I'm missing.
Open new file (If it matters Width is 1280 px, Height is 1024 px, Resolution is 72 ppi, Color mode RGB Color 8 bit, background content Transparent, Color Profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1 and Pixel Aspect Ratio Square Pixels)
I select my shape
Create a duplicate layer
Draw the shape to desired size
Click Add Layer Mask (Vector Mask is greyed out in Layer menu)
At this point the shape box is showing in my duplicate layer, but there is no shape within the box, even if I give it a fill color.

Hi,
There are several ways, but try something like the following:
1. Pick a Custom Shape
2. Set the tool options to Shape
3. Select the Fill color
Draw out your shape and you should see a layer in the Layers panel named Shape 1

Select clip in timeline and place the playhead over the frame you want to save as a JPEG. Open the share window ( Button on far right of tool bar) and select 'Save current frame'. If you don't see that option click on add destination and select the Save current frame choice. It will be added to your share options.

How do I create a JPG image from a clip

I need to create a jpg image from a movie clip. Is making a freeze frame the same and creating a jpg?

A jpg image is saved by FCE in a new file, while a freeze frame in FCE is a still picture used for a sequence in a project, but not saved separately.
To make a jpg, position the playhead in the timeline on the frame you want to save and Export/Using QuickTime Conversion and select Format: Still Image.
You are asked for a file name.
To make a freeze frame, position the playhead in the timeline on the frame you want to reuse within the project and Modify/Make Freeze Frame. This leaves a new still in the viewer: you can drag it to the timeline, drag it to the browser, etc.. - However this does not create a separate file but stays embedded in the project where it is used.

How do I create a placeholder image in a custom layout?

I have a custom layout defined for a photo book, and I want to have a box on the layout where I can easily drag/drop a photo from Finder onto each page.
On my layout, I created a shape and dropped an image into it. This results in the following tooltip on both the layout editor and on the pages using the layout:
"This image is a placeholder. Drag a new media file here to replace it."
And with that shape selected, if I go to Format, Advanced, the option "Define as Media Placeholder" *is* checked.
But when I go to a page using this new layout and attempt to drag a JPEG file on top of the placeholder, a new photo is created on the page rather than replacing the placeholder. This means I have to go set the wrapping, size, placement, etc. of the photo with each page.
What am I doing wrong?

Good question. Just figured it out myself. I'm going to quote from http://www.davidebarranca.com/2012/04/ibooks-author-fullscreen-images/:
In order to successfully transform a picture/movie within a master page into a placeholder you must select it, then 1) Format – Advanced – Define as Media Placeholder. 2) From the Inspector panel, select the Layout inspector and below Layout Object select the Editable on pages using this layout checkbox. If you forget this checkbox, the placeholder won’t work.

How do I create a disk image for windows 7, using a windows computer for USB bootcamp for mac?

Hi There, I have just bought a new 2013 iMac.
Spec: 3.4 GHz intel core i5, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Memory , NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB Graphics with OS X 10.9.4.
How can I create a 'disk image' from a windows 7 professional 64bit installation DVD using a windows laptop with windows 7 Operating system on? I want to transfer this 'disk image' (ISO?) to a USB ready for installing windows onto my 2013 iMac using bootcamp? I want to use bootcamp from a USB as I have no disk drive for the installation DVD on my iMac. I hope all this is clear.
Thank you. Joe

Yes, that's correct, at least not directly. You can create a blank disk image, copy the file to the mounted disk image, then burn the image to a CD/DVD.
Open Disk Utility and select Blank Disk Image from the New menu. Provide a name, Save location, and select the image size from the drop down menu. Leave Encryptions at None and Format as read/write. Click on the Create button.
After the image file appears the "removable" disk should be automatically mounted. If not double-click on it to mount it. A "removable" disk icon will appear. Drag the file you want to place on the disk image to the "removable" disk icon. The eject the "removable" disk icon. Now select the disk image file in the DU left side list and click on the Burn icon in the DU toolbar. Be sure to have a blank disc ready.
The above is actually the "long" way to do this. A much easier way is to simply insert a blank CD or DVD into the optical drive. The Finder will pop up a dialog asking what to do. Select the option to mount on the Desktop. You will now see a disc icon on the Desktop. Drag the file you want to burn to the CD/DVD, right-click or CTRL-click on the disc icon and select Burn from the contextual menu.

how can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it? It came without DVD installer, and I want to make a copy of it's OS installer but can't find out how.

You need to have the disc in order to create disk image of snow leopard installer disc. What did your machine ship with? If something later than SL, then why? If earlier, then you can buy the SL installer disc and make the disk image.

How do I create a single image using PSE12 from multiple originals where each original is still separate?

How do I create a single image using PSE12 from multiple originals in which the originals are still separate (i.e. side by side or arranged in a square)? I could do this in PSE2, but can't find how to get PSE12 to do it.
Grecophile55

In PSE2 there was a single photo-merge. I browsed all my images and I could then click and drag each to its new position before saving. There doesn’t seem to be a similar facility in PSE12.

How to create an Average Image from Gray Scale (8 bits) JPEG Images

I�m trying to create a mean image from 9 JPEG Images, but this mean image has lots of "noise", is distorced, and doesnt�resemble at all the original ones.
I need this mean image so I�ll correlate each of the original ones to find out the best image I�m going to choose ussing NCC (normalized cross correlation coeficient).
When I use setRGB(x,y,rgb), it returns diferent "images" according to the number of zeros, for ex.: rgb = 028028028 is different from 28028028 and from 282828. I can�t find a way to work it out.
My algorithm is the folowing:

It�s ok, I�ve already found the solution.

How can I create clearer, sharper images and buttons in Muse?

How can I create buttons and images that have a vector like clarity? When I upload images (buttons, jpegs and pngs) a lot of the time they seem to have a slightly fuzzy quality to them. I have read previous posts on this matter and none have helped. Any feedback on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

When you place your images in exactly the size you saved them in Photoshop or whatever, Muse doesn’t touch it.
The quality in this case is the quality you saved the image.
The best way is, to examine in Muse the available pixel size of the image and then use Photoshop to obtain this size
A helpful widget to examine the potential size of an image in advance, is the "lore ipsum"-Muse-widget, that you find in the free widget collection "Andrew’s Prototypes":

How can I create a NetBoot image using command line tools?

Is it possible to create a NetBoot image entirely using command line tools?
(That is, without using the SystemImageUtility)
If so, are there reasonable instructions posted somewhere?
I don't believe I can use SystemImageUtility with my current setup,
but I would be happy to hear how I could:
I have a set of Xserve clusternodes but without optical drives or video cards.
One node acts as the head, running DHCP, DNS, OpenDirectory, Xgrid.
They are wired to a gigabit switch.
I have a PowerBook connected on the subnet which has ServerAdmin Tools installed.
I don't think when I run SystemImageUtility on my PowerBook that I can successfully image one of the clusternodes disks over the network.
I have tried to start one node in target(Firewire) mode, connect it via Firewire
to the head node, and run hdiutil from the head node to make a complete disk image of the clusternode's drive.
But a NetBoot image requires the whole nbi file, right?
Could I then use copy this disk image to my PowerBook and use SystemImageUtility on my PowerBook to create a NetBoot image from it?
I really have tried to read the PDFs, but I found the section on System Imaging in the Command Line Reference rather unhelpful.
Thanks for anyones help.

To create a NetBoot image, you could just put the cluster node in target mode and attach it to your PowerBook. Then use SIU to create the NetBoot image.
If you're trying to create a backup image of the disk, use hdiutil, or put in in target mode and create the image with Disk Utility.

How can I take a still image from a video?

I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX. It's kinda hidden in the "share." Go File/Share/Add Destination. You want "Save Current Frame." After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

How do I create a ROM image for emulation?

Can someone tell me how to create a ROM image from my dying LC III so I can emulate it on my newer mac? I still have a lot of files and software I need to access in the future. OS 9 doesn't work with some of the software on my G4 PowerMac and I will be switching to an intel mac mini soon and will lose even that capability.
