How to align eyes in photo montage ?

I'm doing a "daily photo" montage of me and have more than 500 photos of my face. I just want my eyes to align perfectly in the different photos so when I play them fast, my face is constantly well positioned and blend perfectly with the other photos. How can I do this easily ?

create a graphic element in photoshop (or similar) with two small spots or bullseyes as an alignment guide for your eyes (make sure the rest of the frame is transparent).
Place it on a layer above your main timeline, and have fun.
When you're ready to export, remove the alignment clip.
The trick is getting the faces to align with the guides

Photo Montage

Can anyone tell me how I can create a photo montage on a single 8 1/2 x 11 so that all of the hard edges kind of dissolve into each other, and then make it more opaque?
I'm trying to make a DVD cover for a Christmas project and I want this montage to be in the background of the text.
Thanks,
Steve

Steve,
I take it that you are trying to place several pictures on one document. It is advisable to have the resolution of the blank canvas and the picture files identical. Here is a technique for making the edge around a picture appear soft with a white background:
1. Duplicate background layer
2. Create white layer between these two layers
3. Working on top layer, make a selection with one of the marquee tools, go to Select>inverse, then select>feather and try 25 - may need more or less
4. Hit delete on keyboard
5. Select>deselect
You can do this for each picture and place them on the canvas. Each picture will be on its own layer and can be positioned with the move tool.
This should provide smooth transition yet preserve individuality.

How do I move a photo within a cell? (montage)

Hello there.
I am trying to create a photo montage. I have all my photos in cells on the page, but now I am trying to zoom in on and move photos around within each cell (sort of what you do when you upload a photo in Facebook). This was quite easy for me to do in Aperture, but I can't seem to find out how to do it in Lightroom. What am I missing?
Thanks!
Barb

Hi Barb
It’s easiest to use the print module. If you choose Custom package from the Layout tab (top right) you will get a blank canvas. You can then drag and drop as many images as you wish from the film strip. Each image will show a bounding box and you can drag the corner handles to re-size. You can click in the center of each photo to move it. You can drag around the canvas and even overlap images if required. When your montage is complete you can print to file as a single jpeg.
You can also use the book module, where there are many page templates. The cells for book pages are fixed but you can drag images around within the cells. Book pages can be saved as PDF or jpeg.

How can i prevent and fix white eyes in photos taken with iphone 4S

How can i prevent and also fix white eyes in photos taken with iphone 4S? Is there a camera app that will help prevent this?

On the photo, click on Edit, the third icon at the bottom has a red circle with a slash over it, that's the red-eye fix. Touch that and it will fix all red eyes automatically or make you touch the red eyes and then fix them for you. Not perfect, but a great help. Now, I find that the fixes do not carry over when I save the photos in my computer. Hope to find an answer for that.

How To: Make A Photo Montage

I have four photos, closeups of people. What I want to do is to arrange them in a semi-circle, next to each other. And I'd want each photo boundary to fade into the photo next to it.
What I'm trying to do is to create a label to paste onto CDs. I have software that'll allow me to import the finished photo montage and print to the appropriate label. Text, of course, would be superimposed on the photos.
I'd very much appreciate hearing from anyone who has tried a similar stunt. How did you go about it?
Dave

Dave:
You might give Discus a try. It has templates for printing directly on printable discs and many label layouts. These are just some of the labels I've created for DVDs:

Just so you know it's strongly recommended to not put paper labels on disks, particularly DVDs but also CDs. The labels can unbalance the disk causing playback problems, blister or begin to peel after a while jamming optical drives, especially slot loading drives.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

How can I upload multiple photos without using an app?

I'm a special education teacher, and I teach a photography lab that teaches students how to scan and edit photos. We use the school's set of Ipad2's in order to crop the photos since the majority of students I have don't have the hand eye coordination neccisary to crop using a desktop computer and mouse. The problem I'm running into, however, is that our IT department wont let me download any apps onto the iPads. I've asked on six seperate occasions in order for them to update the iPads to ios7 and to give teachers the permission to install apps-- the first request coming at the start of the school year-- and they havent responded to any of them, so I'm not holding my breath.
Currently, I'm uploading all of the photos my students scan to my personal dropbox account, and the students access that and download each photo individually onto their ipads. Not the easiest thing for special education students to do, but its doable. I have not found an easy way to get the cropped photos off the ipads, however. Any ideas? I could attach each photo to an email, allthough thats more trouble than its worth most times. Dropbox will only allow me to upload one photo at a time, and keeps overwriting the photo I previously uploaded with the new one if I try to upload a second photo. Photo stream is the obvious answer, but icloud is disabled on all the ipads and only IT can turn it back on, something they've been unwiling to do

I worked in IT on the university level for four years so it's really frustrating to see more safeguards in place in a public school district any university. If we're trying to teach these kids to be ready for real life and then block out and don't let them use half the technology they're going to encounter in real life, well I just don't get that. But that's another rant for another time.
How I do it is I save all of the photos my students scan onto my external hard drive, then transfer them to my personal computer and upload them to dropbox using Dropbox for windows (or whatever the desktop application is called) . I then have my students go to dropbox.com on the iPad, login as me, and go through each photo, saving each to the iPad as they go.
I should have said upfront that when I try to connect the iPad to my personal computer it charges the iPad but won't recognize under my computer or show up in iTunes, so I am unable to see any of the data on it. I'm pretty sure it's not the 30 pin connector that's malfunctioning because I've tried with two of them. I can only check if it registers with iTunes on my personal computer because I can't download iTunes on school computers since I don't have administrator privileges

Ambitious project with 3D Photo Montage, Questions..

Hey guys, I've been using Final Cut for a while, I finally started putting my foot down on Motion 3 (it's been an afterthought, but when I purchased FCS 2, I knew I'd have to learn it sooner or later), and became interested in doing a 3d photo montage, cutting out my subjects from their backgrounds and breathing life into them. I'll be breaking my question down into a lame outline haha just so my question doesn't sound too broad or boring.
The Plan-
I'll be putting together a 5-10 minute photo montage for my sister when she gets married, and I've got plenty of time alloted to do this project.
The Vision-Create a 3d world of photographs of my sister and her soon-to-be-husband, photographs may range up to 80 photographs. Basically animate a single photo that is cut into different layers, then fly/dolly onto the next photograph.
The Question-Can Motion handle such a workload? (I assume yes) Or better yet, is there a workflow I should use? I hear that a Motion Project can get bogged down easily if there's too much stuff.
Other info, these photos are coming from scans, point and shoot cameras, and my nikon d90, all mixed into an Aperture Library, rated, color corrected, etc. Then I send them to Photoshop to break down the photograph into layers.
If you guys have ANY advice, this would be great, I want to put something wonderful together for my sis, this would be my most ambitious project yet.
And one last thing, i did get a tutorial video from Ripple Training, the "Motion 3 Fast Forward" from Mark Spencer (awesome job man), and I did learn how to do it, my question is how far can I take it with Motion?

Down-res your photos as much as you possibly can and you should be ok.

Photo Montages + Transitions

Hi All,
2 Questions:
Anyone know of a great plugin or stand alone app for the easy creation of a nice looking photo montage? I've heard of ImageFlow and it looks good... any others out there?
How about anyone selling FCP transitions that are 3D animations? I mean, I'm talking about somewhat cheesy cartoon transitions here. All I can seem to fine are nice blur/wipe/zoom/dissolves...
For example, a soccer ball wipe, leaves falling, snow falling, etc... the more cartoonish the better.
Let me know if you can lead me in the right direction,
Thanks.

In Final Cut Pro, there is SupaWipes from Noise Factories, or various alpha transitions from DigitalJuice.

Photo Montage Price

Hi all:
I've been approached by a friend of a friend to do a photo montage for her husband for Christmas. Would love to do this for extra money as I'm a stay at home mom and that has been my ultimate goal: preserving memories for people while making extra $$.
Does anyone have ideas on how much I should charge for this service as well as video transfer?
I would appreciate any and all feedback.
Thank you so much!

Hi
I create these slideshows for people as a hobby-job myself. I scan them with an Epson scanner at 300 DPI, then use Roxio's Motion Pictures (bundled with Toast) to add motion settings to each image. (The scanner has its own image correction when I scan the pics in, it does quite a good job and I have the option of tweaking it or turning it off) The program automatically comes up with its own motion settings; you simply have to tweak these in/out points. I then export a QT file into FCE. Add music there... burn in DVD SP and voila a pics slideshow. Add a custom DVD case insert, dvd label thrown together in Photoshop, and you have yourself a nice finished product.
I require my clients to arrange their photos into groups, around 30 pics. They come up with a song or theme for each group. They put everything in order, and come up with the songs they want.
I charge $1 per picture, plus a $20 initial charge. This includes a copy of the slideshow on DVD. It comes out to around $50/hr that I am actually doing intensive work. I scan at a rate of 2 pics/min; the scanner finds the images itself, I don't really do much color correction either. So, for, say a 200 pic slideshow I spend around 100 mins scanning, 30 minutes messing with motion settings; let them export; then another 90 minutes adding in music, crossfades, text screens etc... Then allow some extra time...
For DVD case inserts there I charge a set up charge of $10...which pretty much gets a client their choice of pic on the front of the DVD case insert with text in a cutesy font; a quote/pic on the back and title again on the spine. Then there's a $1 additional per each DVD. "Custom" DVD labels (printed directly on the disc with a Primera Bravo printer) work the same way. My base price for barebones DVD copies is $10...cheeeeeeeeaaaaap. Keep in mind I do these mostly for people I know, so I try not to gouge.
I too have issues with copyright... Many just play their shows to Mom or Dad, Son or Daughter, etc. But, I have been looking the other way when I know some use them for say a school ceremony or wedding reception. To protect myself, is there anything I can do, other than not using copyrighted music? As in, any sort of document I can draw up or anything that I can make clients sign?

I restared my Iphone 4s and now my photo's are gone. They are just grey with JPG in it.
How do i get my photo's back? And why are they grey?
Any help would be nice.
Thank you.

Restarting your phone doesn't cause it to grey out.
Were you restoring from an icloud backup? IF so, it does take awhile for pictures to download.

How do I only have photos from my iPhone stream to my iMac?

How do I only have photos from my iphone stream to my iMac? I just downloaded from my digital camera close to a 1,000 pictures from my vacation on to my iMac and they all streamed to my iPhone! I don't want all those pictures on my phone. Is there a way to only have the photo stream work in one direction?

Photos downloading to your iPhone usually come from Syncing with iTunes. Look in the iTunes sidebar, click on iPhone under devices (must be attached). Click on Photos tab across the top to review which Photos, albums, events etc are synced from iPhoto.

How do i remove my photo from my Address Book entry?

two questions: first, how do i remove my photo from my entry in Address Book? i should be able to click "Edit", select my photo and hit the Delete key and be done, but no - hitting the Delete key does nothing except make the photo blink.
second, i just posted a comment on a web page that i've never been to before, on a site that i've never been to before, and my photo appeared on the web page next to my comment. very creepy. anybody know why this is and how i make it stop? does it have something to do with my Address Book entry?
update: i've consulted Address Book's help and it tells me to select the card then go Card -> Clear custom image, but when i do, that menu item is grayed out.
further update: i've worked around the problem by taking a screen shot of a blank white area of a webpage and making that my photo...but i shouldn't have to do that and would still like to know how one actually deletes one's photo from Address Book. Address Book's help indicates that i'll find such photos in Library/Images/People, but there's no such directory in any of my Library folders. Address Book's help is not being very helpful today.
tia...

there is actually no way to completely delete an image for you address book entry. you can only change it to something else as you did.
as for the image on that website, most likely it pulled your photo from your webpage on some site like My Space, Facebook etc. do you have a page like that? some sites will tap directly into your webpage and pull your pic from it.
