How Do I Straighten Without Cropping?

I haven't been able to figure out how to use the Straighten tool without cropping.
I am starting with a full page image with Pixel Dimensions of 9750 x 13050 pixels, and a Document Size of 8.125 x 10.875 inches. I want to use the Straighten tool, and then use the Patch tool to fix the resulting irregularities around the edges.
But no matter what I try, I end up with smaller Pixel Dimensions and a smaller Document Size; for example: 9725 x 13016 pixels and 8.104 x 10.847 inches. This occurs regardless of whether I have the Delete Cropped Pixels boxed checked.
I also tried starting with a Canvas Size of 8.125 x 10.875 inches, and using Place…to bring in the image. But the Straighten process still results in a similar reduction in the Pixel Dimensions and Document Size.
I am accessing the Straighten tool via the Crop tool. Is there any other method to Straighten?
The screenshots below show the original Image Size (top) and the Image Size after Straighten (bottom).

Ah, that's perfect. It results in a larger Image Size. Then I can position, crop to original size, and fix edges, as desired.
I like it. Thank you.

How can I resize a photo in iPhoto without cropping it?

I am taking pictures on my iphone 4s and using iphoto to edit them on macbook pro. I need to upload these photos at a size much smaller than what i am able to take with my phone. The only way I see to adjust the size of a photo in iphoto is to crop it. How can I resize without cropping?
Thank you

It's an option in the Export menu.
File -> Export and under the Size option you can choose the maximum you prefer. Export that and upload from the desktop.

How to straighten multiple images without cropping?

Hi, I have several archived documents that I would like to straighten, about 1000. I have photoshop elements 8 at home, and photoshop cs5 at work.
When I use the straighten and crop feature in photoshop cs5, it crops it far too short and I lose text. I can't find just a plain automatically straighten feature in cs5. I don't have time to use the ruler tool on each one. Is there a way to change the settings on the straighten and crop function so that it just straightens? Or at least leaves a border of pixels?
Elements has an automatically straighten tool, and it works great, but I can't figure out how to set an action to apply it to all of the items, or even just to use a keyboard shortcut to save time.
Any help would be great, I don't want to have to do each one individually, and each one is crooked by a different margin

What you describe is precisely how Epson default expansion to create bleed works, down the 1/8 inch amount. What printer are you using?
On my Aritsan 50, the dialogue to prevent this looks like the following image:
On my other Epson -- R1900, the dialogue is reached by selecting Page Layout Settings.

How do I resizie a photo without Cropping

Hi All,
Just download the 30 day trial of Aperture 2 to test it out. Recently new into photography, progressing on past point and click.
Want to post some photo's on a website to get feedback but they ask for photo's no bigger than 600x600 pxls.
If I have shot at 6mp and I am over 2000x2000pxls can I shrink the pick to 600 or below without cropping so I can get advise on the complete picture? If yes how do I do it.
Thanking you in advance.
Matt

Ernie is exactly right. Aperture always keeps your original high-res file untouched. You get a specific size by exporting a JPG or TIF. Along those line, I use the Zenfolio website for photos I shoot for clients. There is an Aperture plug-in for Zenfolio, which means I can export directly from Aperture to my Zenfolio website. No more making a folder of images on my desktop, uploading them and then deleting the folder. The photos go straight from Aperture to Zenfolio. There are export plug-ins for other photo websites as well, such as Flickr. Here is a link for more plug-in details:

How to Print Without Cropping Pages

I'm new to the Book tool, and cannot figure out how to print a book on my Epson 4800 printer without cropping the pages.
I'm using Aperture 3.1.2 and OSX 10.6.6.
I created a custom "Book Type" with a Page Size of 11 in. wide x 8.5 in. high.
I created pages, added images, and tried to print. No matter what I do, I cannot get an 8.5 x 11" sheet to print with the same content as my 11 x 8.5" book pages.
If it helps, I'm using cut sheet 8.5x11" paper in my Epson 4800.
Thanks,
Jim

As Peter said, you can't with Pages, but you could export the file as a PDF & then print just the desired pages in Preview.

How to create photo book from Album without cropping

I just came from vocation and try to make a cool photo book out of my "best pictures" selection. Most images are "as is" from camera, so have "standard" aspect ratio: H/W.
I also happy about composition and would like to keep all or most of it.
I tried several "cool" templates, but can not get results I want: iPhoto randomly place my images on random template, but the painful issue is that it is also randomly crops my images to fit these random layout. It probably try to make it look "cool", but it does not make any sense and does not look cool.
I can do it all manually and select template for every page, also, changing mask for every image (for some minimum of mask still crops more then half of image, so page layout have to be changed). I have about 200 pictures I picked for album and I am not happy about doing it 200 times.
It may work for me if iPhoto just flow images without cropping for fit? Extra bonus would be if I can select images I want "big", "medium" or "small"
Can iPhoto automatically create a simple PhotoBook for printing without killing most images with random and some times more than 50% cropping?

Canon S90 - it is Advanced P&S. When I say crop I does not mean a little bit on sides I mean iPhoto 11 some times crop 50% of image, some times try to zoom on faces. At any rate, most images just rendered useless. Say you have normal landscape picture of person holding some thing in his hands. iPhoto made super wide strip out of it to fit in 1+2 kind of layout, so what you see is upper half with face, object in hands completely out and you can not change mask as at minimal settings it is still cuts more than half of image out.
I tried many Themes, but I can not find one that would not destroy my images, that are very typical, hobbits images, with margin usually big enough for small fit crop, but as it is my trip record I would like to keep (naturally, no?) all details in.
Zoom of face may be cool, but when the rest of image lost, what the point?
I can go one by one, but this is time consuming for 200 images. It just make sense to have "preserve image" settings or "simple" photo book template some where... but I can no find it: all settings in iPhoto are kept to minimum , Apple style

Can you automatically downsample images in Keynote without cropping?

Hello All,
I am trying to get Keynote to perform what I think is a pretty basic task, but can't figure out how to make it happen. I am an art teacher and frequently show my students slide shows made from a large database of .jpgs I have amassed. Most of the .jpgs were scanned at high resolutions - roughly 2500px on the long edge. They are made at this size to anticipate improvements in projector resolution in the future. The slideshows I make are at XGA (1024x768) because this is the native resolution of the school's projectors.
I want to be able to drop large numbers of slides into a slideshow and have Keynote to automatically downsample them to fit on an XGA slide without cropping the image. I currently have "Reduce placed images to fit on slides" checked in the General Preferences. This does downsample the images, but does so in a way that fills the slide with the image and crops on one dimension depending on the aspect ratio of the image. So for example, with the two Kertesz images below, the top and bottom is cropped off the first one and the sides off of the second one. Keynote scales it down so that the image fills the entire slide rather than scaling down so the entire image can fit on the slide.
FIG 1a
FIG 2a
I can then go in and resize the image manually in the metrics tab of the inspector so that the full image is represented in each slide (Fig 1b and 2b below). I have to type in the dimension that is being cropped (768 in Fig 1, 1024 in Fig 2). This further downsamples the image fitting the entire image on the slide which is desired. Doing this for each slide can be burdensome though if I am showing slideshows of 100 or so images. My question is if there is a way to get the results below automatically. I would like to drop multiple images into my slideshow and have it be downsampled so that the entire image fits on the slide. Does anyone know how to make Keynote do this? Thanks.

In the layer of interest make sure the vector mask is selected. Then in the Masks panel adjust the feather slider to an amount that looks right.

Export without crop

What I would like is an 'export without crop' option. I crop the pictures I export for my clients. But for my own use in inDesign I want them full frame. I was discussing this with some of my collegues and they would love this feature as well, they said....

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
hsbn wrote:
You can create virtual copy before doing the crop. That what I've done all the time.
Exactly, and this is how to do it after the crop to clean up your history of cropping:
Select the thumbs you have cropped and also want an uncropped version and add to a collection if they are in multiple folders
Select all the thumbs in the collection
Press ctr or cmd and ' (apostrophy) or from the menu: Photo > Make virtual copy
Press R to crop and Reset in the crop panel.
Assign a keyword or label to separate the cropped and uncropped versions if required
You will now have two versions of each photo, cropped and uncropped.

Straighten and crop in Camera RAW

If I am having difficulty in Camera RAW if I straighten a photo and then try to crop it.
I place the line to straighten the photo and then I hit enter to complete the straightening. If I then click on crop, the image returns to the state before I hit enter after straightening it.
How does one both straighten and crop in in Camera RAW?

When the crop tool is active it will show you the original image with the crop tool outline within. If you open the image or click on the magnifying glass it will apply the crop so you won't see the part around the crop border.
Try this technique on an image that needs straightening (Note: Photoshop CS5):
1. Choose the Straighten tool, and drag a horizontal or vertical line. When you release the mouse button you'll immediately see the crop tool activate
2. Click outside the crop tool border and move the mouse. The crop border will rotate for fine tuning, and you can drag the corners to change the crop.
3. Turn it so that what's inside the crop will be straight.
4. Click on another tool besides Crop (e.g., the Magnifying Glass) to check the result.
5. If there's something wrong, go back to the Crop tool and adjust the outline.

Aperture's Straighten and Crop vs. iPhoto's

Hello, I know that when using iPhoto to straighten a pic that it ZOOMS then crops the pic to eliminate the black triangles that would be left behind from the rotation. This zooming is unacceptable for me, as it degrades the pictures (12MP digi cam) just enough for me to see it. I imagine that this is a function of trying to rotate, and crop out the black while keeping the pic the same size (which would require the zoom). I have seen that Aperture straightens and 'crops' but when it auto crops, does it ALSO try to keep the image the same size (which would lead to another zoom situation)? I would just like to find a tool that can straighten, and if need be, cut my image size from 4000x3000 to 3500x2500, versus keeping the 4000x3000 and being slightly blurred. If the camera were garbage and the images were slightly blurred to begin with, then maybe it wouldn't be so noticeable, but my Canon takes really sharp pics and any blur really sticks out. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, iPhoto does the same thing, as far as the pixel count being reduced. I suppose that's just from cropping out the black triangles. However, I just realized that I am an idiot... I exported an original file, then exported a straightened file, and the two resulting files aren't very different... The altered file isn't noticeably any more blurry than the original, it must have been just how it looked in iPhoto's preview window. That's odd... I was getting a little concerned that all of my straightened photos were going to look like garbage when I export them. All seems well... Thanks!

Why do you ask in the iWeb forum?

Duplicates of a song on iPhone 4s but not in iTunes. Unable to delete duplicate. Won't play and won't let you swipe to delete. Any ideas on how to do so without resetting the phone?

I have duplicates of a song on an album. One of the duplicates is grey with no album cover. When you attempt to swite and delete, the track will not delete and will not even play. I've contacted iTunes store and the person I received the support email from told me that it may not be downloaded. I emailed him back and explained that no there is no download for that song in my itunes store on my phone.
One I never received an answer back which shows you how well these people do their job.
Two: I really would prefer to have a solution to this problem without having to delete all of my music from my phone or resetting my phone. Because this duplicate isn't even showing up in my iTunes, it's only showing up on my phone.
When I attempt to find it in my itunes it plays fine. But when I try to find the file to delete it, it is no where to be found. I've tried everything that I could think of to get rid of it. And I don't want to leave the album/artist off my phone because I do enjoy their music... And I have the microsoft sync in my car.
Anyone got any ideas on how to do this without resetting the phone and/or taking my music off?

If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

How to Enable MMS without BIS

How to enable MMS without BIS
This guide is for you if:
you have an BlackBBerry OS 7 device on a regular (non-BIS) data plan
and
2. you cannot send MMS (multimedia) messages.
Getting MMS working requires you to split, hex edit, merge and install service books, so read through the instructions and decide whether you’re up to it. I’ve attempted to explain everything as clearly as possible, but it’s a complex process and requires you to follow instructions carefully.
It's worth asking your carrier if they can just enable MMS for you. If they can and will, you don't need this guide.
Notes:
The process described here may also work on earlier devices with OS 4, 5, and 6, but I don’t have those devices to test.
Many carriers require you to have a data plan in order to send MMS messages. If you don’t have one, this guide may not help you.
Depending on your cellular plan, sending MMS messages may involve extra charges.
Preparation: Before You Get Started
Software
First, you need some tools to do the work. Download and install these three programs on your computer:
MagicBerry 3.5 (here)
A Hex editor (I like HxD, here)
BlackBerry Desktop (link)
Service Books
You will also need a copy of the service books attached to post #1 in this thread over at CrackBerry. Extract the contents of the .zip file to a location of your choice.
MMS Configuration Information
Once you have the tools and service books, you need to get the MMS configuration information from your cellular carrier.
Specifically, you need three settings: MMS Proxy, MMSC, and APN. Search on Google for something like, “MMS settings for [insert your cellular carrier’s name here]” and you should find them. Note that you also need the port number for the MMS Proxy. It should be there on the settings page.
Note: if the port number for your MMS Proxy is in the 9000s, this process probably won’t work, since your cell carrier may be using the older WAP 1.2 specification. If anyone runs across this, let me know, and I’ll try to help you out.
A Note on MagicBerry
MagicBerry is an .ipd file editor. Service books, like the ones responsible for MMS, are .ipd files. The logical conclusion would be that you could edit service books with MagicBerry. But MagicBerry only shows you certain pre-set fields within the .ipd file. As a result, you can't see or edit a lot of the information in the service book. Even worse, if you do edit a service book file with MagicBerry, that unseen information is not saved, so you end up deleting it and rendering the service book useless.
MagicBerry does have good uses, though: it splits and merges service book files perfectly. In fact, it is the best tool for splitting and merging service books, which is why you downloaded a copy.
Due to MagicBerry’s limitations, you’re going to edit the files with the hex editor.
Let’s get started!
The MMS How-to Guide
Step 1: Split the .ipd Files
Start MagicBerry, click File > Open, and open the tmo_servicebooks.ipd file.
Click Manipulate > Split.
Tick the box for the MMS Config 2.0 file.
Press “Split Selected,” enter a file name (and select a directory, so you know where the file is being saved), and press “Save.” Name the file “MMS_Config_20” so that you easily recognize it.
Note: there are "MMS Config" and "MMS Config 2.0" service books in the tmo_servicebooks.ipd file. Make sure you select the 2.0 version.
Step 2: Hex Edit the MMS Config 2.0 File
Now, start your hex editor and open the “MMS_Config_20.ipd” file. It will look like this, without the highlights and bolding. I’ve added those so that it will be easier to provide instructions on editing.
Hex Editing Basics
In the HEX editor, the blue numbers don’t matter to you (they’re just column and row labels). Only the black ones are part of the file.
The bytes (the two-character pairs) on the left side are all numbers, expressed in hexadecimal or “base-16”. The same information is expressed in ANSI characters on the right side.
The basics of hexadecimal numbering are that you count as follows:
Base-16 (hexadecimal): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 10
Base-10 (decimal): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
So in the two-character byte pair, 0D = 13, 1F = 31, 50 = 80, etc. If you can figure out those conversions, you’re good. If not, google hexadecimal numbering, and spend some time at a lesson. You need to understand how hex works to do this. There are also decimal to hexadecimal converters online. Use them to check your work, or to do the conversion work for you.
You can edit the file from either side of the hex editor. As you edit the information on one side, you’ll see it automatically changing on the other as well.
It’s easier to edit the information in the green, turquoise, and red fields on the right side.
The information in the grey, yellow, and pink fields must be edited from the left (hex) side, because it’s the hex value that matters, and it shows up as periods or jibberish on the right side. All those “dots” on the right side are not identical when you look over at the left side. They’re actually very different values. The nonsensical letters on the right side are likewise meaningful values on the left side.
It’s not a bad idea to just spend some time playing around in the hex editor before you move on. When you’re done, close the file without saving it, and the changes you make while experimenting won’t be made permanent.
Editing the File
The green blocks: enter your MMS proxy in each one, with the port number following the colon. Add to or delete bytes from the highlighted field if necessary, but whatever you do, do not write over or delete bytes outside the highlighted field! Those bytes contain necessary information, and if they are not there, the service book will not work. The same rule holds true for all of the other edits. You must stay within the highlighted fields. To delete bytes, just press delete. To insert bytes, position the cursor, and go to Edit > Insert Bytes on the menu bar, and choose the number of bytes to insert. If you’re using HxD hex editor, ctrl-z will undo a mistake. It also makes your changes in red, which makes them a little easier to follow. As with all programming, the work has to be perfect. There can be no mistakes. Check everything you do carefully.
The turquoise block: enter the MMSC address here.
The red block: enter your APN here.
The yellow blocks: total number of bytes in the highlighted green, turquoise, or red range that follows. Adjust it when you’ve finished editing. The number must be expressed in HEX of course. Use a decimal to hexadecimal converter online if you prefer that.
The pink blocks: the total number of bytes in the bolded range that follow (again, in hex). Adjust it when you’re finished editing the field.
The grey block: a count of the total number of bytes that follow it. In the original file, the value is 30 01 00 00, which breaks down as: 30(hex)=48 01(hex)=256. The total (48+256) is 304. If the number of bytes following the grey block was less than 256, there would be no 01 in the second place. For example, if there were 226 bytes following the block, the grey block would look like this: E2 00 00 00. When you are finished editing the entire file, go back and adjust the number in the grey block accordingly.
Once you’re done, save the file.
Step 3: Merge the MMS Config 2.0 and Wap Push Config Service Books
Open the “MMS_Config_20.ipd” file in MagicBerry
Once you’ve opened the file, click Manipulate > Merge.
Tick the box for the MMS Config 2.0 file.
On the right side of the “Merge” window, where it says, “Choose second IPD file,” press the button with the three dots.
Choose the tmo_servicebooks.ipd file.
Tick only the box for the “Wap Push Config” service book.
Press “Merge Selected,” enter a file name (and select the directory if necessary), and press “Save.”
Close MagicBerry
Step 4: Backup Your Phone
This is mandatory. You’ll need the backup file for step 6.
You need to have BlackBerry Desktop installed on your computer. If you haven’t done that yet, do it.
Connect your BlackBerry device to your computer with a USB cable. If BlackBerry Desktop does not start automatically, start it.
Do a backup. Just hit “Back up now” and follow the prompts. Do a full backup. Once you’re done, go to step 5.
Step 5: Merge the combined MMS Config 2.0/Wap Push Config service book file with your existing service books
Open MagicBerry
Press File > Open and at the bottom of the Open dialogue window beside the File name box, change “IPD Files (.ipd)” to “BBB Files (.bbb)”. Navigate to the folder where you stored your backup, and open it. It might take a while to open.
Click Manipulate > Merge.
Go down the list on the left hand side and tick the checkboxes for the service book entries (they will be way down). If there are service books listed for MMS Config or Wap Push Config, uncheck those boxes.
On the right side of the “Merge” window, where it says, “Choose second IPD file,” press the button with the three dots. Choose your merged MMS Config 2.0/Wap Push Config file.
Press “Merge Selected,” enter a file name (and select the directory if necessary), and press “Save.”
Optional: You can merge the newly created file again with any other service books you may need – such as the Anworm service books for the browser mentioned in my thread on CrackBerry. Just follow the process used in step 3.
Step 6: Install the Service Books to your phone:
Connect your BlackBerry to your computer with a USB cable if it isn’t still connected.
On your BlackBerry, go to Options > Device > Advanced System Settings > Service Book
Hold down the “Alt” key and press S B E B. You should see a message that says, “Legacy SB Restore Enabled.” Press Okay.
On your computer, open BlackBerry Desktop.
Go to Device > Restore.
Press “Change” and navigate to the folder with the merged .ipd file you created. Press “OK.” You should now see the file listed in the Restore window.
Click on the merged .ipd file you created to select it.
Under the heading “Select Data to Restore,” select “Select Device Data and Settings” and then tick the box for “Service Book.” This step is really important. Make sure it's done right. If you screw it up you could end up wiping a lot of settings and data.
Press “Restore” and answer “Yes” to the confirmation dialogue.
Close the BlackBerry Desktop software, disconnect your device, and do a battery pull to reboot.
Voila! If everything went well, you should have MMS capabilities. Test your ability to send and receive multimedia by sending yourself a picture message. You should receive the message within about 10 seconds.
If it doesn’t work, go back and make sure EVERYTHING in the file is done perfectly. If you find a problem, fix it, merge the files again, and reinstall the service books.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Why not just ask carrier to enable MMS? I know T-Mobile can and will do it, even if there is no data plan at all on the line. We did it for my daughter and I know T-Mobile has done it for others. I assume other carriers do the same, but don't know....Which is why I ask.

When I try and print an "Approach Plate, or Departure" from ForeFlight to my Epson Stylus NX430 using AirPrint the image is resized. How can I print without it resizing. I want to have the plate print in the original size so I can use it. Is this an Apple, Epson, or Foreflight Issue? I just purchased the printer so I can return it and get a different model or brand. I spoke to Epson and the suggestions given did not resolve the issue. I have cut the paper down to the size of the plate roughly 5.5x8 and it still try's to print at 8.5x11. I have also requested help through ForeFlights Tech help but have yet to receive an answer.

How to delete tune without iTunes

Hi,
I have a problem, I have some old podcast which I like to keep on my harddrive. Then I got the ipod, so I want to store the podcast episodes there. But dragging direct from Finder to ipod show me it copied but didn't appear under podcast. I found out after a few trial and error that I should have added the podcast to iTunes before dragging into ipod. So...
Good : Finder -> iTunes Podcast -> iPod
Bad : Finder -> iPod
So now those files I drag direct from finder into ipod are in the ipod but I can't get rid of them, cause they don't show up in the iTunes list. It shows up in Senuti and iPodDisk, but both don't allow me to delete the song. Now I can't drag those podcast episodes in to ipod from iTunes podcast anymore. It somehow recognise that the file exist on the ipod but wouldn't list it on the podcast.
So, back to the question, How to delete tune without iTunes?? thanks

Did you try using the Finder? I'm trying to accomplish similar management tasks. Finder seems far superior to itune management, for podcasts management. This might work-- First quit itunes.
Use a finder window, not spotlight, search itunes and single-click on any folder by that name. Notice which of these files is in your startup disc (in case you have other bootable drives connected)-- Notice the little icons on the bottom of the Finder window. Double click on "iTunes Music" at the window bottom. A new Finder window should open. I recomend the list mode, selectable at the top left of Finder window. Now you should be able to view all your itune- contents on the computer. It seems these files can be deleted, but one must remeber to empty trash before going further. Unfortunately this approach won't allow adding new folders that will show up in itunes.
