  • How do you crop an image, then modify that cropping?

    This takes the cake for simpleton question of the day.
    Cropping an image in Illustrator or in InDesign is a breeze.
    But how do you control it in Fireworks?
    I make a selection with the marquee tool, go to edit and choose crop selected bitmap.
    Now, do you mean to tell me that there is no way to modify that crop after the fact?
    Can you at least delete the crop without deleting the image?
    This cant be this unintuitive.
    Surely Im missing something...

    Masks, yes, masks are great! If you just want to hide parts of your image from view, create a mask. Masks can be other bitmaps or vector objects. Create and position your mask object over your original bitmap. Select both then Modify > Mask > Group as Mask. You can easily undo the masking. White areas in a mask reveal the underlying object. Black or transparent areas in the mask cause your original image to be transparent for those pixels. Grey or semi-transparent produce a proportionally transparent result.
    There's also the Paste Inside option, where you can paste your bitmap into a vector shape. The nice thing there is that you can move your bitmap around. (I'm pretty sure, anyway. I don't use this feature.)
    Anyway. You have lots of options to remove or hide pixels. The approach you take depends on your needs and preferences.
    If you have an image to share and a goal to achieve, we might be able to advise you better.

  • How to print uspto patent images using Safari and Quicktime

    3/18/06
    Do you want to know how to print US patent images using Safari? Read on.
    When you access the "images" link of a specific patent on the www.uspto.gov/ website using Safari, the page you are viewing is only one small upper left tile of a huge patent image that is not sized to the screen. You can scroll and try to read the page but it's almost impossible. Try to print it out and you only print what's on the screen. Bummer.
    The fix:
    Place the cursor on the opened image (it may appear blank), hold down the CONTROL key on you keyboard and click on the image. Two instructions come up. Click on the "Save Image to the Desktop" instruction and a DImg.tiff file will be created on your desktop. Click on the .tiff file and it should open in the Preview program, then simply print out the image. Voila!!!!
    Click the yellow arrow in the left margin to access page 2 of the patent and repeat the previous instructions to create another .tiff file on your destop. Do every page and you'll have the patent available to print out one page at a time.
    You can then rename the files and create a folder for that specific patent so you can access it later without signing onto uspto site.
    It's odd that the ever compatible Apple does not provide seamless compatibility to view and print patent images on the US Patent and Trademark Office's website. Where would they be without protecting their own intellectal property? Let's hope the next version of Quicktime includes the appropriate ITU T.6 or CCITT Group 4 (G4) compression language.
    Even the "throw it out the Windows" operating system is up to speed on this issue for America's hard working inventors.
    Keep on inventing.

    Hi Nick, I do see information on creating a slideshow with Quicktime at: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/slideshow.html
    however it appears Quicktime X removed that capability. There is no 'open image sequence' option from the File menu in Quicktime X.
    If I do end up sticking with Final Cut - would you recommend any codec and/or dimension size that would result in the best quality or the most crisp image? I also need a few fade in's and out's on various parts - I don't believe I would have the control without Final Cut.
    Would resizing the image files in Photoshop to 1920 pixels by 1280 before importing them into Final Cut result in crisper images? Thanks.

  • How do I crop an image to 3.5 x 5

    I'm trying to match the size and aspect ratio of an older photo.  The old photo was printed at 3.5" x 5.0".
    How do I crop an image with Aperture to 3.5x5.0?
    Thanks.

    When you crop, the only control is the aspect ratio. You can crop an image with a custom ratio by selecting "custom" at the bottom of the aspect ratio popup menu in the Crop HUD that appears while in the Crop command.
    The size only matters when you print the image. In the print dialog you can set the size in inches of the printed image. The dpi of the printed photo will depend on the pixel size of the image divided by the printed size in inches.
    If you want to control the exact dpi of the printed image, you'll need a pixel editor such as Photoshop.

  • I would like to know how to stretch a background image using HTML

    Hello Seniors of Sun,
    I gota small doubt in HTML, can any one please help me in solving it,
    I would like to know how to stretch a background image using HTML? I have tried and tried to figure this out and cannot..
    so any one kindly help me in this...
    waiting for reply...

    Please note that this is not an HTML forum.
    You can use an image tag on a DIV positioned behind the rest of the page, so that could actually work. And if you want to use body:background, then look up an HTML/CSS reference and see if there are any other body attributes or CSS stuff that applies to the background image.

  • Image display - How do I display an image using an absolute path?

    How do I display an image using an absolute path in a compiled WebHelp?
    Our developers use RH8 map IDs within our in-house applications to display in a model window created using Telerik Rad Window.
    Unfortunately images disappear from these model windows because RoboHelp removes absolute links to [inserted] images and changes them to relative in the compiled WebHelp.
    How do we overcome this? Is there a solution in RH8?

    I have tried again and changed the path in the topic HTML
    from : ..\..\HelpTopics\Icon_Search.png
    to    :  \HowDoI\Help_CMS\WebHelp\HelpTopics\Icon_Search.png
    I am obviously unable to see it in RH8 as I have removed the relative link so it is "outside" of the project.
    This time, on compilation, it has not stripped out the absolute links. The developer was working with me on this last week and we did have any issue in that they did not hold the absolute link. Most odd!
    Checking the published help it appears to be working in the application, which is great.
    So my apologies for raising the issue but it really did not work last week.

  • How do I change the image used on an movie project icon? iMovie seems to select an image at random from the images I imported.

    How do I change the image used on an movie project icon?
    iMovie seems to select an image at random from the images I imported.

    Not sure I understand how to use what you have posted. Here's what my init() looks like:
    public void init()
    setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    p=new Panel();
    p.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,1));
    callnowButtonURL = getURL(callnowButtonFilename);
    if (callnowButtonURL != null)
    callIcon = new ImageIcon(callnowButtonURL,"call");
    endcallButtonURL = getURL(endcallButtonFilename);
    if (endcallButtonURL != null)
    endIcon = new ImageIcon(endcallButtonURL);
    b=new JButton(callIcon);
    b.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(0,0,0,0));
    b.setBorderPainted(false);
    b.addActionListener(this);
    p.add(b);
    add(p,"Center");
    Now the ActionListener is basically:
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    if (mybool == false)
    <Perform actions here set mybool to true>
    Change JButton b to use EndIcon
    else
    <Perform actions here set mybool to false>
    Change JButton b to use CallIcon
    Can you clarify how to perform the action I require? You can have a couple of Dukes if you can help me sort this out.

  • How do I crop a photo in Illustrator?

    I can't believe I can't figure this out. (I came over from Freehand, and it was simple).
    All I want to do is:
    1) Crop a placed photo within Illustrator
    2) Create a border around it.
    I can't seem to find the answer in any help file. Is it so simple in Illustrator that they don't explain how to do it? I don't want to create crop marks for the entire image, just crop off part of a photo without going back into Photoshop. How?
    Thanks very much.
    Mark

    If you want to totally eliminate content outside a mask in Illustrator (giving you a true crop), you can use the following method:
    Select the path that you would have used for the clipping mask and, instead of making a mask, fill it with, oh, say, white. Then, set the opacity for that masking object to 0% using the transparency palette/panel. Then, with that object and the underlying raster image selected, flatten transparency. (Use 100% vector on the quality slider and make sure the 'Preserve alpha channel' option is unchecked.) Ungroup the result.
    You should now be able to independently select the various portions (inside and outside the mask) and discard those you don't need. The links palette/panel will show you what's going on.
    You can use this method with multiple clipping masks in a single operation. You don't even have to initially embed the underlying image for this to work.

  • How do I crop an image in Flash?

    I've been croping my pictures to use in my flash in photoshop but I want to crop the pictures so they fit the size of my page in flash. Does anyone know how to crop pictures in flash?

    There is no tool to crop the image, you can make an mask on it but still the whole image resides within the stage. May be you can break apart and remove the unwanted sides, but not for practice.

  • How to make an icon image using Photoshop

    I found out how to do this recently so I decided that I wanted to make a tut for those who don't know how to make an icon image. This icon image is for the libraries tab on your computer. Under the libararies tab there is Music, Pictures, Documents, and Photos
    First you will need the ICO (Icon image format) Format extension for photoshop which can be downloaded here:
    http://www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/icoformat/trunk/dist/README.html
    The download link and tutorial on how to install it is all in the link above.
    Once you have that all set you can now launch photoshop to create your icon image. Once you have launched it, create a new document with the size as in the image below.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/256x256_zpsbf3dcf8e.png~original[/IMG]
    Create the image you want. I used a simple one by using the custom shape tool by pressing "U" on your keyboard and with the
    basic blending options.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/IconImage_zpsd788c709.png~original[/IMG]
    The reason why the image is pixelated is because it is an icon image. Since the image is only 256x256 pixels when you zoom in on it that will get you the pixely result. The reason why I zoomed  in is so you can see it. But don't worry this is no the end result. Just continue reading and you will see.
    So once you have created the icon go ahead and press
    file>save as>(under format choose the ICO)>and choose the name that you want to name it. And save it in your C: drive. You will see why to save it in your C: drive in a sec.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/SampleicoPic_zpsd252bfba.png~original[/IMG]
    So now that you have created the icon and saved it now you can create the new library.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/NewLibrary_zps8ca703b2.png~original[/IMG]
    Name the library whatever you want I named it "Sample" for tutorial purposes. Notice how it gives you a default boring icon image for your library.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/Sample1_zpsb5472840.png~original[/IMG]
    So now once you have created and named your library now it is time to get the icon image into place.
    Go to computer/c: Drive/users/YOU/ And now once you have reached this area you will need to access a hidden folder named "appdata" to do so press "Alt" then a menu bar will show. Click
    tools>folder options>and view. Find the option to view hidden folders then press apply then ok. Now we shall continue so AppData>Roaming>Microsoft>Windows>Libraries
    Now you should see all the libraries including the one you just created.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/showhiddenfolder_zpsad4a3c94.png~orig inal[/IMG]
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/Libraries_zpsf6243bc0.png~original[/IMG]
    Once you have reached your destination then open a new text document with notepad and drag the library you just created in notepad. The result should look like this:
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/Notepad_zps251a86f0.png~original[/IMG]
    once you have reached this point click at the end of the second to last line down then press enter and enter in this information
    <iconReference>c:\"NAME OF ICO FILE YOU CREATED IN PS".ico</iconReference>
    Example:
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/iconreference_zps1c1a3eca.png~origina l[/IMG]
    Once you have entered that information go to file>save and the icon image should appear on the library you created.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/Finished_zps267f893a.png~original[/IMG]
    Now you are officially finished. Go and spread the news and joy. Bye for now

    It is Windows only because all those screen shots are exclusively Windows, the file structure and paths do not resemble those of the Mac in the least.  As a Mac user, there's nothing I could take from your tutorial.  Sorry, 
    No drives named with letters like C: on the Mac, for instance.  No backward slashes either, ever.  No such paths either.  No "Notepad" on the Mac, we use TextEdit; but such a text editor is not remotely needed on the Mac to make and/or edit icons.  Etc.
    Those folders are not even called "Libraries" on the Mac…  Nothing resembling your tutorial at all.
    The icons in the Finder's Sidebar are not customizable at all in recent version of OS X.

  • How to print a mirror image using powerpoint from my macbook to hp printer

    I am making t-shirts and I can't get this image to reverse (print out as a mirror image, which I need for the photo transfer paper to work I can reverse part of the image using the rotation tool for "flip horizontal", but for some reason it doesn't work on all of it. Also, I'm using a macbook and when I go to print, under "paper tray/quality" I can actually see a box to check for mirror image, but it is in grey scale, so I can't select it.

  • How to  upload and display image using bsp application

    hi
    I  just wants to know that
    1- how to  upload image from BSP page with attachment into sap server .?
    2-how to display image in to BSP page(webpage).
    thanks

    Hello Gupta Prashant,
    Just to upload and display an image, import image in MIME repository. Not only still images but also flash files can also be uploaded in the MIME repository. Once you import the image in it, use normal html code for image call;
    <img src = "file.jpg/gif" width=  height=>
    Besides it, if your requirement is to store the image in the database and fetch it based on specified field-name, then you have to go for BLOBs i.e Binary Large Object, using this you can also store images, videos, pdfs, applications in the database.
    MBLOB - Medium BLOBs store videos and pdfs,
    LBLOB  - Large BLOBs store movie files and applications.
    You have got 2 ways to use it; some databases store BLOB objects into themselves and some store the path of the BLOB object maintained on the FTP server.
    You can also implement it in ABAP;
    read the following link and practice the tutorial;
    [ Use of MIME Types|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/f1/b4a6c4df3911d18e080000e8a48612/content.htm]
    also check this
    [TYPES - LOB HANDLE|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu/en/ABAPTYPES_LOB_HANDLE.htm]
    And looking at your question, in order to upload an image, you can make use of FILEUPLOAD tag provided by HTMLB.
    Step 1: FILEUPLOAD provides a browse button to choose desired image file.
    Step 2: Store that image in database using BLOBs.
    Step 3: Retrieve the image using normal select query and display it on the screen.
    Hope it helps you,
