How do I make a separate image look more natural on a larger image?

I am still relatively new to photoshop. Recently I got into doing photo comics in the science fiction/ action genre. I want to learn a method by which I can make a foreign image that has been modified via scale (from larger to smaller) to look natural on a larger image. For example in the photo comic I have a city playset but the toys are way larger than the city itself. I want to make them scale appropriately to the city to enhance realism whilst making the image look as natural as possible. What methods are best? Thank you.

I think (not positive) that some cartoonists will create block shapes and give them a unit size making it easier to scale the actual objects.
For example a tree which is generally 30-40 foot high you may set to 10 square blocks high and a building that is 13 to 15 feet high you may give it a single square block.
It may not be all that accurate, but it would get you in the ballpark where you could scale it more later when more objects are in the scene. It always helps to compare two objects when deciding the scale.
If you wanted to be accurate, you could google the actual size of the object then use a ratio to scale it. Then all objects would be to scale.

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 make the Lion iCal display more readable?

How can I make the Lion iCal display more readable?

I'm wondering the same thing.
Under Lion, my calendars' color coding is next to useless because they're suddenly so muted.
Previously I could easily pick out which events belonged to which calendar without effort. Now, all the colors are so light as to be nearly indisinguishable; I must toggle calendars off and on to highlight a calendar's events.

How do I make a typography image in illustrator?

Allan,
I am just an old native helping out here (since sometime round the turn of the millennium, in the days of the fair forums before the Mac and Win tribes were merged in this common forum).
We do have Adobe forum staff friends regularly, mostly on weekdays; they have staff written with their name.
And no bother at all. This is a friendly place, with time for less serious matters, like this long thread (well, this year it is serious, link is to page 5):

How can I make my question slide look and act like the rest of the project?

Hi,
I have created my project without using a template. Each time I needed to create a new screen I simply duplicated the slide and then inserted new text. This worked quite well. However, when I tried to do this for a question slide, it wouldn't let me (obviously).
Is there a way of customising a question slide to look exactly like the rest of my project (and have the interactivity on the slide that the rest of the project has)? When I tried designing a new template and question template side and applying it to the question slide in my project, I could only insert a static image as the background on the template slide. Needless to say, there was no interactivity on the slide, i.e. no active click boxes etc, and I couldn't add these either when I applied it to the slide.
Any help is much appreciated. This is for a Masters project, so I'm still learning the basics.
Thanks.

Hi Lilybiri,
I am using Captivate 4. All of my screens so far look like a website - with menus and makeshift spry menus (image maps with click boxes). My preference is to use this layout for the question slides. However, it sounds like this isn't possible. What do other people do to make their question slides look a part of the course?
Thanks.

How do i make a disk image strait out of DVDSP

So I usually only make one copy of a disc at a time by chosing build and burn. But the other day I made 10 copies of a disc and to make them i just drag and dropped the audio and video ts folders from the folder they were saved in to the disc image of a blank disc. Needless to say none of the discs worked. What is the process to correctly do this. Can i make a disc image from dvdsp3? Cause i know how to burn disc images from disc utility

In order for a DVD to play back correctly in a set-top player, the discs have to be formatted using the UDF file system. I believe that Disk Utility only creates HFS+ file systems; therefore, you were basically making pure DVD-ROM discs of the Video_TS directory, which wouldn't play back normally in a standard set-top DVD player (but might play back ok in a DVD-ROM software player).
You can easily burn true DVD discs in a DVD-R burning program like Toast - just select the UDF option and drag the Audio_TS and Video_TS folders into the root directory of the Toast window.
Technically, you don't even need to bring in the Audio_TS folder, but it doesn't hurt (and some versions of Toast caused the contents of the Video_TS folder to end up in the root without a folder if you tried dragging just the Video_TS folder by itself - the contents NOT being in a folder called Video_TS, won't work in a DVD player either).

Can anyone help me how I can make these numbers (font) look similar?

Hi guys
As you can see the 5 looks different (thicker?) than the 1 and 9 and I'm wondering how I can make this look similar.
I've been playing around with the eye drop tool and pencil for 2 hours but I can't see the logic in how to fix this issue.
Hopefully someone can explain me how I can solve this problem.
Thanks already!

As R_Kelly said, it might be best to just rewrite the numbers. I found that 15pt Tahoma was very similar:
Hope this helps!

How can I make a custom style look the same in both printed and online?

My specs:
RH 9.0.2.271
Windows 7, 64-bit
Word 2010
The Background Info:
So I created some custom css styles to try and mimic the look of a message box in our documentation. Here's the css code:
.MsgBox {
    color: #000000;
    border-left-style: Solid;
    border-right-style: Solid;
    border-top-style: Solid;
    border-bottom-style: Solid;
    font-size: 10pt;
    background-color: #eeeeee;
    border-left-width: 4px;
    border-right-width: 4px;
    border-top-width: 4px;
    border-bottom-width: 4px;
    border-left-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-right-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-top-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-bottom-color: #cdcdcd;
    width: 350px;
    padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
    box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888;
    margin-bottom: 7pt;
.MsgBoxTitle {
    color: #000000;
    border-left-style: Solid;
    border-right-style: Solid;
    border-top-style: Solid;
    border-bottom-style: Solid;
    font-size: 10pt;
    background-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-left-width: 4px;
    border-right-width: 4px;
    border-top-width: 4px;
    border-bottom-width: 0px;
    border-top-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-bottom-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-left-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-right-color: #cdcdcd;
    width: 350px;
    padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
    box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888;
My HTML Code:
<div class="MsgBoxTitle">
    PC-DMIS MESSAGE:
</div>
<div class="MsgBox">
    <p>Please do the following steps in the indicated order.</p>
    <p>1. Remove the current SH-1/2/3 stylus.</p>
    <p>2. Attach the SHSP (Stylus Holder Setting Piece).</p>
    <p>3. Jog the probe to a safe location with a clear line of approach
     to the port(s) being calibrated. </p>
    <p>4. Then click OK.</p>
    <p>After you click OK the machine will begin DCC measurement.</p>
</div>
The Expected Output:
Here's how it renders in a browser (the title is MsgBoxTitle, the body is the MsgBox style). I'm happy with how it looks there, even if the box shadow doesn't always display:
The Ugly Printed Output:
And here's what it looks like in the printed output.
Ugly. Are there any tricks to get the printable (doc) output to match the online? Ideally, on the printed output, I'd like to have all the white space in my pseudo message box removed so it looks just like the online.

Hi Peter. Thanks for the reply.
I assumed that if I used the project style sheet during the export, Word would convert the style so that it looked the same as in the HTML. Is that a bad assumption? I'm currently not mapping to any template equivalent for these message box styles. I did try it as one of my attempts, but I couldn't figure it out. It never seemed to take the style in the .dot.
Anyway, if I use just 1 style, such as just the MsgBox, I obviously don't get the white paragraph between the title and message. That white paragraph comes from the first <p> tag in the MsgBox style. But I need to have the <p> tags in there because they're better for our localization process than line breaks.
I did do some tweaks that made it look better. Basically I structured it so that the MsgBoxTitle div is now inside the MsgBox div. Something like this:
<div class="MsgBox">
    <div class="MsgBoxTitle">PC-DMIS MESSAGE: </div>
    <p>Please do the following steps in the indicated order.</p>
    <p>1. Remove the current SH-1/2/3 stylus.</p>
    <p>2. Attach the SHSP (Stylus Holder Setting Piece).</p>
    <p>3. Jog the probe to a safe location with a clear line of approach
     to the port(s) being calibrated.</p>
    <p>4. Then click OK.</p>
    <p>After you click OK the machine will begin DCC measurement.</p>
</div>
And then I adjusted my styles borders, padding, and thickness. That helped it look more connected, but still doesn't look quite right:
Would love to get rid of that white space after the title.
If you have time, I would be interested in a more detailed example of how you did it.

How can I make a separate external backup?

Hello. Hope I can explain this properly, that is often the hardest part of asking for help!
I have a 500 GB Lacie external HD (my Primary) (formatted Mac OS Extended Journaled) continually backing up via Time Machine.
What I want to do, is make a separate backup on an external 1 TB iOmega HD (my Secondary) and keep it in an area
of safekeeping.
So, my questions then would be the following:
1--Do I just disconnect my present Lacie HD and is there a certain way of doing this?
2--Do I then connect the iOmega secondary HD up to my iMac and is there certain things that need to be done to do this?
3--Can I then connect my Primary Lacie HD back up to the iMac?
I would like to do this periodically, possibly every month to ensure most of my data is in the Secondary iOmega HD.
Any pointers or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sure, although I'm not sure why you would want two Time Machine backups?
It's just my take on the subject, but cloning is far better than Time Machine for two main reasons. 1. a Clone is bootable in a pinch and 2. a Clone doesn't require that the external hard drive be running all the time.
You could however disconnect the Lacie and start using the 1T iOmega for Time Machine, then erase and Clone the Lacie with CarbonCloner if your having trouble figuring out SuperDuper.

How do I make iTunes music available in more than one user account?

I have 2 user accounts on my computer. One for me and one for my wife. What I'm wondering is how I can make it so that the music in iTunes in my user account can also be available in her user account. When I'm on her user account iTunes is empty and there are no songs in it. I want for her to be able to have my same library in her iTunes. How can I do this?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi Bob,
you could try coping all your music onto an external drive & choose that drive as both of yours music folders. It should work... I think.
Or just burn a data disc of your tracks & import them to the second account.
I've not got two accounts on my machine but the above should work, in theory. Give them a try. Though I'm unsure about purchased tracks.
