How do I edit a photoshop image to fit a specific shape in Illustrator?

I placed a photo from Photoshop into Illustrator. I am trying to place the photo into a certain shape. I want to photo to fill up the whole shape. I tried all of the placing options-bleed, trim, art, crop, and media. None of them worked. Please help!!

purplerain,
The path to serve as the Clipping Path needs to be a single path, possibly in the form of a compound path. Is it?
If it is, and if you can see both the (compound) path and the image highlighted (on the Artboard/in the Layers palette/wherevere) when selected, something may have become stranger than usual.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Preset Issues with 'Edit in Photoshop' image

Hi guys, I'm running LR3 and CS5 on a MBP Lion, and I'm working directly with RAW files. I have adjusted the images in LR and used 'edit in photoshop' to correct blemishes on some photos. I want to apply some presets at the end to render a couple of different looks (B/W and Vintage) to the final edited image. However, I find that after the file comes back from PS, it looks good, but the photo gets 'normalized' and the develop module tools get reset to zero. Hence my presets totally blow the 'edited in photoshop' image while it works just fine on the original raw.
I have also tried to work on the original image prior to any LR adjustments. Same thing, after coming back from PS, both stacked files look similar, but at the time of running the preset, the 'edited in photoshop' file gets blown out.
I do not have any auto adjust settings turned on. No presets running on import/export. What am I doing wrong?
I really appreciate any help!
-Liz

when you edit a RAW file in PS and save it you will have a demosaiced file (TIF, PSD or JPG).
they behave different then RAW files. so sliders will probably have a different effect on a JPG file then it will have on a RAW file.
it will not be possible i think, to get the EXACT same look when you apply a preset afterwards.
for example the highlights will not have so much headroom in a TIF or JPG ... compared to the original RAW.
so i think the best is to apply the presets first, render the files with the LR settings and open in PS as smart object.

How do you edit the template image that appears at the top only in portrait mode?

I am using a customized version of the iBooks Author template which has the space image. I have replaced the images for the book cover, chapter and section. But I noticed that when you rotate the ipad to view the entire TOC, the original space image is still there. How can I edit the template image that appears at the top of the Table of Contents only when you rotate the ipad in portrait view?

I just tried w/that template - switched to Portrait mode...tapped once to select that image....cut - gone. Switched to Landscape...not there. Back to portrait...still gone.
What process did you use?
Can you repeat your issue with a fresh book?

How can I import my photoshop images onto my ipad?

How can I import my photoshop images onto my ipad?

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How do i make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to put the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. Any help?

How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?

Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
See this iMovie Help topic:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

How can I edit a still image so that I can float it over the video?

I would like to edit a still image so that I can float it over the video - How would I save the image in Photoshop so that just the image and not the background can be imported into Final Cut and the footage behind it still shows up?
Thanks

You need to either create an Alpha channel or cut out the area of interest and paste it into a transparent Photoshop document. You can save the former as PSD, TIFF or PNG. Save the latter as TIFF with transparency enabled (shows up in TIFF Options at step 2 of the save dialog).

Edit in Photoshop - Image Reset?

It appears that when image is opened in PS via "Edit in" command, all develop settings are removed and image is back to as-shot colors, contrast, etc. How can I avoid this, and edit/print the image as it appears in LR?

Not as far as I know. PSE opens a new image in the editing window according to its own internal formula for size.

HOW CAN I EDIT MY PHOTOS IN PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 10 ? JB [email protected]

No, sorry, I don't understand what you are talking about. Exactly what happens? You do not need to buy a different version of Elements, just explain EXACTLY what the problem is. And please turn off your caps lock key.
Adobe is not preventing you from using PSE 10. Thousands of people are using it, so we need to figure out exactly where the problem lies. Please explain step by step what you are doing and what happens.

How to stop MG3520 from dropping image when fit to page is checked

How can I stop MG3520 from cropping image when fit to page is checked?

Hi Keithlad,
You will want to make sure that the paper size selected in the printer driver is the same size as the paper that you have loaded in the printer to ensure that the image prints correctly. When the paper size selected in the printer driver is smaller than the actual page size, the page image will be reduced. When the paper size selected is larger, the page image will be enlarged.

How can I edit a RAW image in Adobe Bridge and/or Photoshop?

Whenever I drag and drop a photo or group of images from iPhoto. it automatically converts them to jpegs. Even when taken as RAW images. With iPhoto 09, you could do a search of the IMG_#### listed in iPhoto, and a normally-hidden folder full of the original downloaded RAW images turned up in the search. Now, in iPhoto 11, the RAW images newly downloaded DO NOT show up in any system searches (using 10.8.4. It was bad enough when they were hidden... now they are virtually gone.
I want to use iPhoto for organization and some editing, but some photos I want to work with in the RAW format and save as TIFFs. How do I do that?

Whenever I drag and drop a photo or group of images from iPhoto. it automatically converts them to jpegs.
Drag and Drop and Media Browsers access the iPhoto Previews only. No conversion, just the previews.
With 10.8 Spotlight no longer searches within packages, that's to protect the inexperienced user from trashing his or her library inadvertently - as directly accessing the file can do.
To use Raws with an external editor:
First off set your preferred app as an external editor in iPhoto:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Next: In the iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, elect to use Raw with your External editor:
Now when you go to edit the Raw it will be sent to your external editor.
But there's a kludge here.
iPhoto sends a copy of the file to Photoshop. In the case of a Jpeg you simply save and it all comes back to iPhoto seamlessly. However, if you use a Save As then Photoshop is creating a new file and iPhoto knows nothing about this.
Now here's the catch with Raws. You cannot save a Raw. The work you do must be output to a new file, in a new format (jepg, tiff, whatever). However, as the External Editor is making this new file iPhoto has no knowledge of its existence. Therefore you must save it to the desktop and then import it back to iPhoto as a new file.
This means that you will have your Original Raw and the processed version in iPhoto but they will not be recognised as version and original. iPhoto will see them as two separate shots.

Edit in photoshop image opens without Lightroom adjustments.

Images opened edit in in photoshop do not have the auto adjustment made in Lightroom but brush adjustments made do appear, When i close the picture in Photoshop and open it for a second time all the adjustments are there.
also the same thing happens to some of my exported images. I have removed and reinstalled both Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom 5 also on the cloud..

How do I edit in Photoshop from Illustrator

I am running CS4 Master Suite on Mac 10.5.8 and in other CS versions of Illustrator, I could select the image I just placed and click "Edit Original" and the image would then open in Photoshop. Now the "Edit Original" is grayed out. I am sure it's a simple setting I am overlooking and I tried to search the forum, but get an admin error when trying to search the forum no matter what info I add in the search field. It seems the forum is all Adobe what's to give us as far as tech support....and now it is giving errors!

Good advice already, this may be helpful too:
When placing images, enable "link":
When saving AI, do not enable "Include Linked Content" (unless you have a need to embed all of your links, because that's what it does):
It is not necessary to embed links for other applications, the image data is included in the PDF output portion of the AI file, and the other app will reference the PDF output (as long as you check "Create PDF Compatible File)
As long as you always save this way, and link when placing, links remain dynamic content in Illustrator, and image links can be accessed in Photoshop with "Edit Original" in either the links panel or the Control bar.

How can I transfer a Photoshop image to Illustrator without it being pixelated?

I originally created an image in Illustrator and transfered it to Photoshop so i can change the hues. Now I want to take that Photoshop file and transfer it back to Illustrator but the the edges on the object are very jagged and rough whilst the object in Photoshop is smooth and the transition of gradients is smooth.
