How to blurr background of this image,while mting the window frame?
I would like to blurr the background of this image of mom and child,while maintaining the integrity of the window frame. (ie i don"t wish to change the frame or blurr it.)
i know if i select the mom and child via selection tools and then go to filters and gauserian blurr and hit ok;it will blurr the background as well as the window frame. I am sure this involves two procedures,but how would it be done? Thanks for your help!!
Open the picture file
Make a selection of the frame. I used the magnetic lasso tool, which works very well here. Once the selection is complete (see marching ants), go to Layer>new>layer via copy
Use one of the selction tools, e.g. lasso ot selection brush, to select mom and child. Layer>new>layer via copy
Blur the background layer with Filter>blur>surface blur
To enhance this a bit, I applied unsharp mask to the frame layer and to the layer with Mom and child
You could also blur the entire picture and use a mask to mask out the blur on Mom and child.

How to eliminate background of an image while Maintaining semi-transparent mid-ground.
Sorry if the topic name is slightly inaccurate or if my question seems amaturish, I'm fairly new to using PS. For a project I would like to delete the black background of this image http://calibermag.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/2534069-Action-Bronson-617.jpg and replace it with another background, however I would like to keep the smoke that's lingering over the background. Are there any techniques or tools I could use to delete the background and the black behind the smoke without directly effecting the smoke?
That image will respond well to the [Refine Edge] feature.
Basically, select the dude with e.g., the Quick Select Tool, then use Refine Edge and paint the Refine Radius Tool over the smoke.
This tutorial gives the technique in some detail. The technique shown works in the most current version of Photoshop.

Smoke isn't too terribly different, conceptually, than hair.

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 to keep the image centered in the window when mouse zooming in cc 2014
I,m not able to keep the image centered in the window when using the mouse scroll wheel for zooming.
Ctrl + and - keys are meant for "center zoom". As far as I know, the zoom tool is a "point zoom" tool. If you move the zoom tool with your mouse, it will zoom in on that part of the image.
Also Ctrl 0 is "fit to screen" and Ctrl 1 is 100% zoom. (Use Cmd if this is a Mac)

How do I remove Canon " My Image Garden" from the desktop when turning on my computer ?
How do I remove Canon " My Image Garden" from the desktop when turning on my computer ? I have the icon but the program starts up and I have to delete it manually from the desktop to clear my screen for other work...
Are you using a Windows or a Mac? What you're seeing (the backwards L shaped menu) is probably the Canon Quick Menu. If you have a Mac you can go into your applications, select Canon Utilities, then drag Canon Quick menu to the trash and empty trash can. On Windows you'd go to the control panel, select Programs and Features (or Uninstall Program/Add or Remove Program) and uninstall the Canon Quick Menu. Not required for all the normal functions of the printer. You can do the same thing for My Image Garden. Also not required.

How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?
With the position of the power button on the Retina MacBooks, any mistake turns off the screen in the middle of a presentation or any activity using a projector or big screen — a huge waste of time to wake up the display, enter password, have the projector sync back, watch audience disconnecting from what was being discussed, etc.
This is very annoying, and seems to add to the increasing collection of options Apple decided to make by itself instead of allowing the user to choose.
Come on Apple guys, I'm using my Mac because I want options and lots of preferences to tweak to my needs.
If I needed the lobotomized version I'd be using my iPad!
Any way (official or hack) to change this button back to its proper funcionality?

Not what you want, but you can get the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by holding the power button -

If I use an SD Card on both the windows 7 and Mac OS (using bootcamp), is there any way to see the data seen on the Mac OS side while using the Windows OS?
Windows Aero style uses a different background image than Mac:
Windows Aero:
#nav-bar {
background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(253,253,253,0.45), rgba(255,255,255,0));
Mac:
#nav-bar {
background: url(chrome://browser/skin/Toolbar-background-noise.png),
linear-gradient(hsl(0,0%,93%), hsl(0,0%,83%));
I can't test hands on, but you might be able to clear that OSX "fog" using a rule such as:
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
#nav-bar, #PersonalToolbar {
background-image: none !important;
background-color: transparent !important;
This could be applied using the Stylish extension or by creating/editing a userChrome.css file. -

Thnaks.
TomWhoa, I found the answer by clicking on one of the questions in the "More Like This" box to the right. I do wonder how to find that box before posting my dumb question. The answer turned out to be checking the youtube volume control. I turned that up and it solved the problem for Comast as well.

Display Do u want save changes or not? message while closing the window
Hi All,
I have one requirement.I developed one form that contains 4 windows.
I entered in the 3rd window and i have made some changes but not saved.when i close 3rd window it is not giving any message like 'Do u want save changes?'after closing the 3rd window cursor will go to 2nd window.if i open 3rd window again it is propmting the message(Do u want save changes or not?).How can i get this message while closing the 3rd window?
i have written the following code in app_custom body
IF (wnd = 'WINDOW1') THEN
app_window.close_first_window;
ELSIF (wnd = 'WINDOW3') THEN
lv_wnd_status := get_window_property('WINDOW2',VISIBLE);
IF lv_wnd_status = 'TRUE' THEN
go_item('BLOCK2.ORDER_NUMBER');
set_window_property ('WINDOW3', visible, property_false);
ELSE
app_window.close_first_window;
END IF;
ELSIF (wnd = 'WINDOW2')
THEN
lv_wnd_status := get_window_property('WINDOW3',VISIBLE);
IF lv_wnd_status = 'TRUE' THEN
set_window_property ('WINDOW2', visible, property_false);
ELSE
app_window.close_first_window;
END IF;
ELSE
app_window.close_first_window;
END IF;
Can anyone give me some idea.
Thanks in Advance
Edited by: DhanaSurya on Apr 27, 2010 9:41 PMIis this the only code which you used to hide/display window?
Might be some navigation is happening in your form. Like if there is relationship between window2 and window3's block and when you access the window2 then you try to move to the next reocrd and then you are try to go to the WINDOW3's block.
Or there is any CLEAR_BLOCK built-in bieng use in you form.

I updated iTunes to 10.4 version and now it doesn't start and send a messages "iTunes has detected an error and must be closed". Someone have the same problem and how can we repair our installation insted of change the windows XP installation? Best regards
Only way to get iMac starting again was to re-install 10.4.4 from DVD, and then update it into 10.4.6. For a while it worked perfectly, just as before.
Then I tried to print to CD with my EPSON Stylus Photo 950 from Adobe Photoshop Elements (2.0). It didn't print anything, but printer started flashing all lights. The print job was not performed, so I did remove it from the Printer Utility. After that the iMac started "ticking" again, same noise than before, after 10.4.7 installation. I did re-boot iMac. It never started, it does stuck on gray screen (gray block running clockwise). HW test from DVD didn't find any problems (extended search looping 3 times). But Disk Utility found hard drive to have inaccurate node structure, it could not fix it.
Apple support recommended to use DiskWarrior. However, it does not support (yet) Intel Macs. I haven't got TechTool Pro 4.5.1 anywhere. iMac does start on to FireWire mode (T at boot), but I cannot see the disk from 10.2.8 iMac.
So, obvisously the problem is not 10.4.7. I believe it to be ESPON printer driver compatibility on Mac OSX. This does not suprise me, EPSON printers *****, I shall never purchase one again. However, disk catalog structure should not get messed by one faulty printer driver!
