How do I import an image with an opacity mask from AI into FW

I have created a graphic in AI which contains several images with associated opacity masks. The mask use a radial gradient to achieve the desired effect. I am unable to import these images into FW with the mask effects intact even though the layers appear to be there. What am I doing wrong? I don't see away to do it in FW directly. If there's a work-around that would be appreciated too.

Fireworks' masking is pretty good. If you have your object and your mask in FW, arrange the objects so that the mask is above the object, select both, then click on
Modify > Mask > Group as Mask
Where the mask is white, your object will be fully opaque. Where the mask is black or 100% transparent, your object will be fully transparent. Where the mask is grey or partially transparent, your object will be, as well, proportionally to the grey level/transparency level in the mask.
Fireworks also has some built-in masks to fade objects radially or linearly. In CS3, these are under
Commands > Creative > Fade Image
but they got moved someplace else for CS4. I can't find the info on that in the help, though, sorry. Oh wait. It might be the Auto Vector Masks:

How do I crop an image with a Clipping Mask using a circle instead of a rectangle?

I watched Adobe TV Illustrator's tutorial about cropping images with a clipping mask. In the video, the presenter uses the rectangle tool with the clipping mask, and makes a reference that the circle or vector shape could be used, but I cannot figure out how to get the circle.
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-illustrator-cs6/cropping-images-with-clipping-masks/
I'm new to Illustrator and need step by step instructions!
Thanks!

Christine,
As Larry said, and as I said in the first post:
For a Clipping Mask, you just create a path, in this case a circle, and place it on top of the image, then select both and Object>Clipping Mask>Make.
You can see the shortcut when you use the dropdown; it is Ctrl+7 for Windows.
At least in the old days, you could also use Alt/Option+O+M+M (easy to remember, Object>Mask>Make).
It is easy to skip/overlook the exact steps.

How do I select an image with motion blur so that I can put it onto a different background ?

How do I overlay a image with motion blur on a white background (like the first image) onto a different background (to look like the second image)? any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks ,ed

I’m afraid you may have bitten off more than you might want to chew.
The resulting pixels of an in-camera-blur combine information about the color/brightness of back- and foreground (edit: the result of surface properties and lighting conditions) with motion (basically transparency for this task) in such a way that it seems exceedingly difficult (maybe even improssible) to isolate the foreground in a »pure« form.
One may get a halfway decent mask (as the backgound is at least almost uniform and brighter than the foreground elements) but you may have to manually decontaminate the transparent areas, otherwise the masked object in front of a dark background would have a bright edge.

How do I import an image directly from the internet without printing and scanning it in first?

How do I import an image directly from the internet without printing and scanning it in first?

You can also Ctrl click on the image, save the image to your desktop and open it in Photoshop.
1.
2.
3. Open in Photoshop by double-clicking on the saved image on your Desktop or Cmd o in Photoshop.
I don't see any point to copying and pasting from a browser into a new file in Photoshop.
If you want to put an image onto an already open image in Photoshop, use the File > Place... command and select your saved image.

Animation. How do I import still images in final cut pro x (from dragon frame) duration 3 frames pr. image?

Animation. How do I import still images in final cut pro x (from dragon frame) duration 3 frames pr. image? We have allready tried to set stillimages duration in preferences to 0,08 sek, but it does not have any effect!

You can drag your images to the timeline, select all, ctrl-d and set the duration to 3 frames by typing 3 and enter.
Or you can use Quicktime 7 to "open image sequence", select the desired duration, export your animation to quicktime and import that into FCP X for further editing.

How do I convert raw images with side car to Dng and

How do I convert raw images with side car to Dng and preserve the sidecar info in the DNG?
I have tons of raws + xmp sidecars that i want to convert to dng, because the raws are from different camera brands and i want to get everything simplified. so that i do not have to worry if I will be able to access the raws in the future, if I decide I want to rework some of the files.
T.I.A.

If the images are already in your catalog you can select them then choose Convert Photos to DNG from the Library menu. You'll be given the option of deleting the original raw files. Either way, Lr will only display the newly created DNG files.
The alternative, which is better suited to images not already in the catalog is to use the Adobe DNG Converter

Mts files cannot imported with audio in pro cc6. how i can import mts files with audio?

when i am importing mts files in pro cc6. every time it is being imported without audio. though original mts files have audio. how can i import mts files with audio in cc6?

To clarify Media Browser suggestion - very important that you copy ALL content from SD card to hard drive before importing using Media Browser. If you only have the .mts files alone, there is stuff missing that is needed for Premiere to properly interpret the video/audio.
Thanks

How do I batch resize images with different aspect ratios?

Landscape: I want result to be 1960 x 1103 px and 72 ppi whether the original is 300 ppi or 220 ppi and wether it is 2Mb or 10 Mb. Cropped centered top and bottom.
There will be a set of Landscapes that that have a narrower aspect ratio the 1960:1103 that would also need the top and bottom cropped like all Portraits would could be. You need to realize that center cropping Landscape image that have aspect ratios near 1960:1103 will usually produce acceptable compositions. However Cropping wide panoramas and portraits will only produce acceptable landscape 1960:1103 composition occasionally.
Here you will see what happens when image have aspect ratio the do not fit the desired aspect ratio. Where Landscape are forced to portrait and portrait forced to Landscape. Here are two Collage I populated with a mixture of image with different aspect ratios. One collage has all 3:2 Landscape places and the other 2:3 Portrait places.
I create a 1 image 1960x1103 collage 72dpi and create those too. Note the landscape boy foot is cropped off 3:2 is narrow compared to 1960:1103

I used the utility, MozBackup.exe, to create: Firefox___.pcv and Thunderbird___.pcv. How do I import or use these files to update from AutoCADGuru to ProCADGuru

Firefox Team,
I used the utility, MozBackup.exe, to create:
Firefox 3.6 (en-US) – 2013-02-10.pcv
Thunderbird 13.0.1 (en-US) – 2013-02-10.pcv
How do I import or use these files to update from AutoCADGuru to ProCADGuru?
Thanks in Advance,
Kenny

You are giving conflicting information
Your question started with "How do I import or use these files to update from AutoCADGuru to ProCADGuru? "
Then you said:
"Autodesk's legal department threatened me with a law suit, because my domain name had “AutoCAD in it. So I change it to ProCADGuru. I created” Firefox 3.6 (en-US) – 2013-02-10.pcv and Thunderbird 13.0.1 (en-US) – 2013-02-10.pcv to back everything up. Now I need to know how to use them to restore all of that saved data and update it to my new domain. "
Then you said:
"How do I import or use these files to update from www.AutoCADGuru.com to www.ProCADGuru.com?"
So all that you have explained so far has been about closing down one webhost and moving to another, which has nothing to do with Firefox or Thunderbird.
Then today you say:
"I need to know how to use these to restore all of my Address books, email books, sent, saved, and settings for both Firefox and Thunderbird. "
What is the problem you are trying to solve here? is this about transferring Email settings in Thunderbird, Bookmarks in Firefox, moving a website from one host to another, or something totally different?

How do I import a 3D object I created in Photoshop CC into AE CC?

How do I import a 3D object I created in Photoshop CC into AE CC? I thought if I created a picture or video with one Creative Cloud product I should be able to work with it in another CC product.

It's not possible. this functionality existed once in CS4 and CS5, but has ever since been removed because it was buggy and had a ton of technical issues. Your best bet would be to export the object from PS as an OBJ and import it into C4D Lite via Cineware.
