How do you sharpen an image in layers

I have pc that uses xp pro cs5.1 extended....everything on the program works!! in normal editing mode I can do most things including sharpening, selection....recently I started to edit within layers and I can get most things done...but I cannot figure out how to sharpen the image once it is in layers as it is not one of the choices in the drop down menu, the same goes for selection. If this cannot be done then I will flatten the image and edit normally. My knowlege of layers is basic so be kind to me

A pet peeve of mine is excess worry about being "non-destructive".
The word is misused. What you're doing (assuming you have any Photoshop capability at all and you're trying to make the image better, not worse) is constructive.
You should understand that the previews you see in Photoshop of your multi-layer image (unless you take extreme measures in configuration which I doubt many people know about) are all done in 8 bits/channel, so it's doubtful you're seeing what you're doing at a high quality level anyway.
If you really want to maintain all your layers and minimize the impact of sharpening, you can stamp the visible layers into a new layer of pixels above all the others (Control Alt Shift E) then sharpen it. If you have to work on the document you can just do it again afterward - it's not like it takes a long time to do.
But honestly it's not even evil to just re-develop an image from a raw file and do all the edits again. I find that I can often do a better job overall on a photo after doing that - and it avails you of the most recent advancements in Camera Raw.
I'm sorry if this message seems harsh, and please know that I'm not directing any criticism to anyone here, I just have a very strong personal opinion that all this "non-destructive" editing hype is just so much BS.

How do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it when you just play a slideshow.

how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow. i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random. thanks.

If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
shuffe the list properly
create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
Here is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
on removeItem(ims, i)
-- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
          if ims is {} then return {}
          if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
          if i < 2 then return rest of ims
          if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
          if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
          return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
end removeItem
on shuffle_items(ims)
-- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
          local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
          set numitems to length of ims
          if length of ims < 2 then return ims
          set ims_shuffled to {}
          set nextrest to ims
          repeat until nextrest is {}
                    set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
                    set nextpick to item i of nextrest
                    set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
                    set numitems to numitems - 1
                    set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
          end repeat
          return ims_shuffled
end shuffle_items
on shuffleIms()
-- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
-- and display them in random order in full screen mode
          local imageSel, shuffled, i
          tell application "Aperture"
activate
                    set imageSel to (get selection)
                    set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
                    set fullscreen to true
                    if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              reveal {item i of shuffled}
delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
                    end repeat
                    set fullscreen to false
                    return shuffled
          end tell
end shuffleIms
shuffleIms()
Some more code snippets to go from here:
To create an album:
                    tell library 1
                              if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
                              end if
                    end tell
And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
                    end repeat

How do you add an image in the signature

Hi,
How do you add an image to the signature area.
The Insert/edit image is not available when in My Settings | Personnel Info | Signature
Regards
Ray Farmer

You need to link the image. See the example for the Canada flag below.
<img src="http://forums.ni.com/ni/attachments/ni/130/6908/1/Canada-small.PNG" border=0>
Replace with the image you like. This goes into the signature box within the profile tab of the personal settings.

How can you upload an image to MYSQL using php?

Ok this is a joint thread with one of my other ones because no one else was posting on it, so I did not get what I needed, so, How can you upload an image to mysql so when some one logs on to my site, they see or can upload there own avatar, now there are loads of problems with this, 1) many people don't know how, 2) It's not every day you try to encode a image into mysql, 3) Letting people upload images into mysql can cause traffic problem with people trying to log in. So that's it.

Uploading images into MySQL is a bad idea, for more reasons than you mention. You should store the images in a directory on the server instead. But if you want to learn the hard way, here is the method:
The mysql data type must be blob.
The form enctype must be multipart, like this: enctype="multipart/form-data"
The form input field myst be type file, like this: <input type="file" name="upload"/>
Here is example code that prepares the variable $photodata to be inserted into the database.
$uploadfile = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'];
$photoname = $_FILES['upload']['name'];
$uploadtype = $_FILES['upload']['type'];
if ($uploadfile != "") {
$tempfile = fopen($uploadfile, 'rb');
$filesize=filesize($uploadfile);
$width=getimagesize($uploadfile);
$widthx=$width[0];
$heightx=$width[1];
if (($widthx > 102) or (heightx > 135)){
$image_too_big = " but the image size was too large and was not submitted.";
} else {
$photodata = fread($tempfile, filesize($uploadfile));
$photodata = addslashes($photodata);

How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?

In otherwords I'd like to put my logo in the email not as an attachment but as an image.
Is there a simpel solution to this problem?

You don't.
It's not possible. The e-mail protocol is designed for text; anything else has to go as an attachment.
Different mail clients (such as Mail.app, the mail client bundled with Mac OS X) may have different ways of handling such attachments, but they are still attachments. Each mail client has its own rules and methods, so one may display a picture as if it were in the body of the message, but another client may do something completely different.
A way of faking it is to format your message in HTML (which is a kind of text). The image is hosted on a remote server, not added to the message; instead, you include a link to it in the body of the message, as you would when building a web page. (This is also what the two tips helpfully provided by X423424X do, except that the link to the image is added in the signature, rather than the body of the message.) What exactly happens to it is, again, at the discretion of the mail client. In my case, for instance, displaying images in HTML messages is turned off, and will stay resolutely off.

How do you select an image in keynote?

how do you select an image in keynote? I am trying to reduces my image file size but when clicking on image to reduce it I seem to be selecting the mask and hence format/image does not provide me with an option to reduce the image

Click on it to select.
Click and drag a corner handle to change the image size on screen.
This does not alter the file size.

The same way you put them on the phone. Connect the phone to iTunes on your computer, click on the name of the iPhone, then the Photo tab. Uncheck the albums you don't want on the phone and click Sync.

In another thread I posted a suggestion to try when the iPhoto app in the Application folder will not work:
after upgrading the OS, iPhotos (and Aperture for that matter) should still be in the Applications folder...
And running well in 10.10.3.
If it stops running in a next "update" do not throw it away: most apps will continue running as follows:
In the Applications folder "rightclick" (CTL+click) the iPhoto app, then "show package contents", then click the MacOs folder open: you see the real app (dark grey), rightclick this and choose "make alias", an alias is made, move this alias to the Applications folder and use it to run iPhoto.
Same for Aperture.
In older OS this survived several upgrades....

How do you remove duplicate images from your all images file on your mac desktop

How do you remove duplicate images from your all images file on your mac desktop?

Don't under any circumstances.
All images is not a file. It's not a place. It's a list. Specifically, it's the result of an instruction: List all the images on my machine.
When you delete something from All Images, then you have no idea what you're removing from where - files that are part of word processing docs, interface elements, corrupting your iPhoto Library. There are many perfectly legitimate reasons why you might have what appears to be duplicates but are not.
Rule number One: Never delete anything on your machine whose job you don't understand.

How do you set an image into the background of a JPanel or JFrame?

How do you set an image into the background of a JPanel or JFrame?

Something like this, Ive thrown in an ImageIcon on a
button too for good measure.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class JFrameImage extends JFrame {
public JFrameImage() {
Container c    = getContentPane();
JPanel panel = new JPanel(){
             public void paintComponent(Graphics g)     {
ImageIcon img = new
= new ImageIcon("background.jpg");
                  g.drawImage(img.getImage(), 0, 0, null);
                  super.paintComponent(g);
        panel.setOpaque(false);
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("onButton.jpg");
JButton button = new JButton(icon);
panel.add(button);
c.add(panel);
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrameImage frame = new JFrameImage();
frame.setSize(200,200);
frame.setVisible(true);
Going totally fancy pants
ImageIcon bigImage = new ImageIcon(bgImage.getImage().getScaledInstance(getWidth(), getHeight(),Image.SCALE_REPLICATE));
g.drawImage(bigImage.getImage(), 0, 0, this); Will scale the image to the size of the panel
whereas
for (int y = 0; y < getHeight(); y = y + image.getHeight(null))
for (int x = 0; x< getWidth(); x = x + image.getWidth(null))
g.drawImage(image, x, y, this); Will give a tiled effect
Try tiling with an animated gif and bring your processor to a standstill.

Not sure this would address your issue, but the Crop Tool works that way: set the width and height, plus resolution, and Crop does everything. You could then paste the result into another file if that completes your process.
