How do I scale the image layer and the alpha at the same time?

Question is self explanatory...
Thanks,
Dean

Alpha channels are not connected to layers in any way - they are just extra channels independent of the color content of the image (well, unless you're using a spot color overlay).
Now, if you meant Transparency/Opacity instead of an alpha channel - that is part of the layer and scales automatically.

  • How to use at the same time the audio sounds of a keyboard & the midi sounds with mainstage

    Hello! hope you can shed some light on my problem! I want to be able to use at the same time the real sounds of korg sv-1(stage keyboard, but it could be any stage piano with USB midi) and use other sounds from mainstage. Of course i switch between patches and sets with a footpedal so i can be quick with my changes of sounds so I try to keep my hands on the keys.
    My question is: Is there a way that one moment for example i have a silend patch (from mainstage) and the real sound i want passing through audio and the next moment silence from korg and the next patch a sound from mainstage? Or even combine them. I mean in general how am I able to integrate the sounds I prepared and organised in patches in mainstage with the beautiful piano & rhode sounds of my sv-1?
    thanx in advance for your response!

    Yes. To have a silent Mainstage patch, simply do not create any instrument channel strips. To have the SV-1 silent on a patch you should be able to set and save the volume for that patch to 0. As an alternative you could turn local off on the SV-1( this function will reset to local on after the SV-1 has been turned off). With local off you can determine with each Mainstage patch whether or not you want to transmit MIDI to the external instrument(SV-1) channel strip. If you have local on, be careful not to create a MIDI feedback/loop with the SV-1. This is a lot of info to digest at once, so take it slowly, step by step. Snapshots below are somewhat in order.
    Click on the cog wheel in the upper right corner of the channel strips section to get to this menu. Select add external instrument channel strip.
    The external channel instrument strip will look like this.
    Click on the MIDI output box to show the display below and choose your external keyboard destination(SV-1).
    In the channel strip inspector you can send patch changes to the SV-1.
    Here is where you select the MIDI input for routing MIDI to the SV-1. If want no SV-1 sound for this Mainstage patch, select none.
    You'll need to play with these parameters to get the desired results. Stepping through the MS patches with a footswitch can be done, too, but that can wait for now. Post another question when you master these steps.

  • How to record at the same time broadcast an internet tv show?

    I do an internet tv show on stickam.com and I use the flash

    well, cygwin will not be able to "zip" at the same time, nor will unix does.
    this is because "zip" can not be written/read sequentially, as gzip/compress could
    if you use tar+compress, you could do that with pipes. I tried and it seems cygwin can do pipes (I did not know). but
    mknod mypipe p
    gzip <mypipe >dmp.z &
    exp file=mypipe did not work as it would in unix

    well, maybe zip could work on unix. I just remind zip/unzip as basically not working thru pipes. But under certain circumstances, it may work...

  • How to transform a layer object and a path at the same time?

    Hi all,
    I know I am going to kick myself when you tell me the answer to this!
    I would really like to know if there is any way I can manage to to transform both a layer object and a path at the same time....or if there is any workaround to achieve this.
    In a nutshell, say for example I spend a VERY long time creating an intricate path around a very detailed object, and then at the very end notice just how crooked and out of perspective it is, and would like to straighten it.
    Of course I could transform and correct the object, and then carefully transform the path - but it just won't be exact, and I will have to spend a long time adjusting the path and making SURE it is perfect.
    Isn't there any way I could get to transform them together?
    Usually of course I do all the correction to straighten and correct perspective beforehand, but in some instances after I am done creating the path I then notice that the image could have used further adjustments.
    I appreciate so very much any advice you may have:)
    Thank you kindly,
    Christine

    Okay...I found another way as well... suddenly it all started coming to me in the last few minutes:)
    Once the image is on it's own layer, then we can select the path and then make a vector mask by going to "Layer>Vector Mask>Current Path". Once the vector mask is created, simply click on the image icon on it's layer, then transform away to your heart's content, and the path is transformed along with it. Once finished, the path for the vector mask can be saved as usual. (Don't click on the vector mask icon when transforming the image, otherwise only the path will be transformed.)

  • How do I connect two video cameras to my computer have them both show up on the desktop at the same time so I can see and capture both images using a screen capture program?

    Hello, 
    I am a teacher and want to make some videos to post online for my class.  I would like to have it set up so that I have a powerpoint presentation going, a video camera pointing at a piece of paper I can write on and another video camera pointing at me.  How do I do this?  I have seen several solutions but they seem to be for switching between videos whereas I want both video images to be on at the same time.
    Also, is there a screen capture program you would recommend?

    Go to System Preferences - Sharing and change the computer name there. You can also, optionally, change the name of your hard drive to further clarify the origin of your backups. Click once on the "Macintosh HD" on your desktop, then click its name to allow you to edit it.

  • How do i get a still image to fade the same way and at the same time as a video?

    I have a video stacked on top of a still image. When i add a transition, the still turns to a black screen while the video fades in accordance to the transition. How do i get the still image to fade the same way and at the same time as the video?

    I do. I've applied it to both the  still image and the video. Say i used the lens flare transition. If i apply it to both the video and the still image, the video will dissolve in to the next frame, but the still image will go to a black screen and then jump to the next frame. Its almost as if i inserted a black frame instead of a transition, but only for 2 seconds. Below is kind of a peek what it looks like.

  • How do you drag-scale and copy at the same time?

    I just want to drag-scale and copy at the same time like in previous versions of illustrator by holding the command key while dragging. Can someone help me find out how to do this with CC? I don't have time to re-learn basic things over again. What was wrong with it the way it was?

    I guess you have to have the scale tool selected in the tool bar now in order to "drag-scale" and copy at the same time. Before you could just do it no matter what tool was selected in the tool bar. I liked it the way it was.

  • How to select a layer mask (not its contents) and another layer/folder at the same time?

    I can do one or another, but both at the same time?
    It is annoying because a mask selection turns into layer selection when you select a second layer/folder.

    Well a layer mask is just that for that layer. If you want to apply that mask to a new layer, you can drag it or alt drag to drag a copy to the new layer. Then it will have its own layer mask. When your done, if needed you can then remove that mask from that new layer, if for some reason you only wanted to see a temporary mask.

  • How to delete photo's from both Iphoto and source (external HD) at the same time

    I've seen a few postings on this but none seem to answer the quetion.  Sorry if this is a duplicate and I coudn't find the answer.
    I have an external HD with over 4GB of pictures in various folders and subfolders.  I would like to import one folder at a time and go through the photo's using iPhoto to choose which ones I want to keep and which ones I don't.  If I come accross a picture I don't like I would like to delete it in iPhoto and at the same time have it deleted from my external HD.  I have tried the following with no success:
    1. Import photo's to iPhone and delete photo's I don't want.  I did this in the photo's view, not events or albums.
    2. After deleting the photo's I empited the iPhoto recyling bin which then sends the photo's to my Macbook pro recycle bin
    3. I then emptied the macbook pro recyle bin. 
    From what I've read this is how you're supposed to be able to delete photo's permantently form you HD or External HD.  The photo's I delete never end up getting erased from my external HD though.  So now I'm still stuck with a back up of a bunch of pictures I don't want on my external HD.  They are gone from iPhoto but this doesn't help or avoid taking up space.  This only cleans up iPhoto library but not my actual external HD.
    So am I correct that there actually isn't any way to do this other than going through the photo's on my external HD using Finder and deleting them before importing to iPhoto?

    A managed library is the default type that iPhoto creates.  Make sure you have the option selected to copy photos into iPhoto when importing:
    was hoping it would at least keep thumbnails of all my photo's.
    I use a DAM (digital asset management) program which will do exactly what you want: Media Pro 1.  It creates catalogs (libraries) of thumbnails, up to 640 x 480, that is uses to manage the photos.  You can do anything to the photos except edit, slideshows, or anything that requires the full source image when the source files are not available.  You can arrange  photos in Catalog Sets (like iPhoto albums), add keywords, etc. to them even when the sorce files are not available.  When the source files are available you can write that metadata to the source file and rename files. You can use Media Pro in demo mode for about a month I believe. 
    A catalog file for 44,000 photos (178 GB) with the thumbnails set for 320 pixels at high resolution is only 1.5 GB. The larger the thumbnail selected the larger the catalog file will be. 

  • How  to fade groups of images or multiple images at the same time?

    I am creating a flash infographic, and want to fade images I have imported from Illustrator that are grouped. I would like to know how  to fade these groups and multiple images at the same time.
    Thanks!

    Use TweenMax for this.
    the syntax is like this:
    var arrayOfDisplayObjects:Array = new Array();
    //with arrayOfDisplayObjects.push(DisplayObject)
    //you can put any DisplayObject in the Array and when you want to fade them call this
    TweenMax.allTo(arrayOfDisplayObjects,1, { autoAlpha:0} );
    //to fade them in 1 second to alpha=0 and when reaching the zero make them invisible (to save processing power)

  • I can convert almost things multiple times at the same time including CMYK to RGB (or sRGB), but not RGB to CMYK and not brighten/contrast. How?

    I can convert almost things multiple times at the same time including CMYK to RGB (or sRGB), but not RGB to CMYK and not brighten/contrast. How?

    If you want a relevant answer you may have to elaborate on what you actually mean. Posting screenshots might help, too.
    In any case multiple conversions of an image are not advisable in general.

  • How can i control what images load on my project to save preload time and avoid loading all images, elements, divs not yet visible?

    Sup buddies,
    How can I control what images load on my project to save preload time and avoid loading all images, elements, divs not yet visible?
    As the project grows in size the load time increases. How does one control not loading all images ,divs,elements etc. until they're
    needed on the timeline? For example some sections are off and only become visible when recalled. My projects slowly grow in size so loading
    all images , is counter productive . My other option would be to create separate htmls but that breaks the seamless user experience .

    hello, kiwi
    quote: "Is there an easy way to burn a completed project to DVD, but keep only the (lo res, lo size) previews on my hard drive?"
    yes.
    maybe,...
    1. you might think of making DVD backups first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
    or,
    2. bring in the photographs to hard drive first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
    the low rez Previews will stay in Aperture but the high quality Versions will be exported onto DVDs and gone from the hard drive (if you delete the originals).
    another way would be to export small about 50-70 pixel wide high quality jpegs to a folder on your Desktop and import & keep these in Aperture Library as a reference. make metadata to show where the original Project DVDs are stored and DVD filing system used.

  • How to run save for web and contact sheets at the same time

    Hi
    my question is simple and a means to save time-
    Lets suppose I have 3 camera images and I want to run either save for web applications on 2 cameras at the same time, how/can i do that to save time or lets say contact sheet action on 1 and save for web on the other to save time or photoshop files and this runs in the background?
    would really help save me time.

    Even if you could run the three process in the background at the same time I do not think the duration of the total execution time would be any shorter. You would still be executing the same number of processor instruction reading and writing the same number of files. If the whole processor was constrained by the processing power running them cuncurrenly may increase the processing time because of contention for the processor. If the processes are IO bound that will not change a overlaping the processes may cause more hard disk seaking because of contention of the hard disk arm.

  • How can I change the text layers to a specific color at the same time and in the fast way?

    Dear all!
    I am using Photoshop CS5. I typed 65 text layers in my file and wish to change their colors to a specific Black Color, but I don't know how to select all the layers at the same time so that I can change all the text layers from Red Color to Black Color in the fast way. Now I only select one layer and then change. It means I must select and change 65 times for the text layers. Hope you can understand what I mean.
    Thanks a lot.
    My Kindest Regards,
    LUCK

    One way is to select all the text layers, select the type tool in the tool box
    and set the color from the tool options bar.

  • How do I view multiple images from different projects at the same time?

    Hello
    I've been trying to find the answer in the user manual, but no luck so far.
    I did find how to open 2 projects at once, but I can only see one image at a time in the viewer and I have to keep going back and forth between projects to compare images. (These are scans of old photos and I want to eliminate the ones that are poorer quality, so need to compare numerous images from 2 sets of scans)
    How can I view an image from one project at the same time as an image from another? I know that it can be done in the same project by apple-clicking the second, third etc image, but this doesn't work if the images are from different projects.
    Thank you
    Elizabeth

    Thank you again Tony
    I've now created an album, independent of the projects, and dragged test images into it and it does just the job I needed. Now i just need to keep my brain sorted with which ones are which while i'm working
