How to combine images using layers

what is the best way to combine and edit different images into one cohesive photo in a collage-esque, style? i.e. the background from one photo, the subject from another, ect.

I don't know if this is the "best" way, but it's one way.
Create a new file of required dimensions & resolution for your final product.
SaveAs Canvas.psd.
Open image one and select or inverse select or mask out the unwanted parts and delete them.
Ctrl+A to select what's left.
Copy & paste into Canvas.psd.
Save Canvas.
Close image one.
Repeat with other images.

Hello, i am new to the mac and i need to learn how to re image using an external hard drive

Hello, i am new, like baby fresh new,...lol, to the mac and i need to learn how to re-image using an external hard drive.

How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive. Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure. You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
Step Three: Boot from the external drive. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume. Click on the Restart button. You should boot from the new drive. Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

so much wrong with this post...
a) use the code tags to format the code. Now it is an unreadable mess
b) scriptlets in your JSP. I don't even want to look at that mess. Learn how to combine servlets and JSPs to create clean, readable and maintainable code in which view logic and business logic are separated. The rule: no java code in your JSP, only tags and EL expressions (learn about JSTL).
So you get a blank screen. When you do "view source" in your browser, do you see anything there? If nothing, check if you are behind a proxy server. The solution to a post of not too long ago was that the blank screen was being caused by faulty proxy server settings (the user figured it out himself, I don't know what was done to solve it).
If all this fails you will have to do some debugging magic using your favorite IDE. It will probably be something stupid you are overlooking in the code. It is annoying, but debugging code that does not work is a big part of your job. Better get good at it.

How to upload image using JSP

hi,
i am confronting a problem how to upload image from local PC to web server . I am using Tomcat 4.0
please help me by sending code
thanks

Hi,
Here is the solution for uploading images and displaying images. I am using struts with JSP, so this code has a Action and ActionForm class. You can put the same code in Java Beans or Servlet class to run it. This code has two JSP files - one for Upload (upload.jsp)and other for Image(image.jsp) display. It has a Servlet also to display the image. Here is the code file wise.
Upload.jsp **********************************************************
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-template.tld" prefix="template" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<html:html>
<head>
<title>New Page 1</title>
</head>
<body>
<html:form action="uploadAction.do" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">
File to upload
<html:file property="fileUpload" size="20"/>
<html:submit value="Upload" property="upload"/>
 
<html:img src="image.jsp"/>
 
</html:form>
</body>
</html:html>
Image.jsp*****************************************************************
<jsp:useBean id="upload" class="uploadtest.uploadActionForm" scope="session">
</jsp:useBean>
<%
 byte[] rgb=(byte[])session.getAttribute("byte");
 request.setAttribute("byArr", rgb);
%>

Image is
<jsp:forward page="/showimage" />
Struts Action Class - UploadAction.java **************************************************
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
import org.apache.struts.upload.FormFile;
import org.apache.struts.action.*;
public class uploadAction extends Action {
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping actionMapping, ActionForm actionForm, HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse httpServletResponse) {
uploadActionForm upload = (uploadActionForm) actionForm;
try {
int size=upload.getFileUpload().getFileSize();
//if (image != null) {
byte[] byteArr = new byte[size];
//Create an input stream to read the uploaded file.
ByteArrayInputStream bytein = new ByteArrayInputStream(upload.getFileUpload().getFileData());
// Load the input stream into the byte Array.
bytein.read(byteArr);
// Close the input stream.
bytein.close();
// Load the byte[] into the content field.
upload.setContent(byteArr);
HttpSession ses=httpServletRequest.getSession();
ses.setAttribute("byte",byteArr);
return actionMapping.findForward("success");
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
return actionMapping.findForward("success");
Struts ActionForm class ---uploadActionForm.java***************************************************
package uploadtest;
import org.apache.struts.action.*;
import org.apache.struts.upload.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class uploadActionForm extends ActionForm {
private FormFile fileUpload;
private byte[] content;
public FormFile getFileUpload() {
return fileUpload;
public void setFileUpload(FormFile fileUpload) {
this.fileUpload = fileUpload;
public byte[] getContent()
return content;
public void setContent(byte[] theFile)
this.content = theFile;
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping actionMapping, HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest) {
/**@todo: finish this method, this is just the skeleton.*/
return null;
public void reset(ActionMapping actionMapping, HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest) {
Servlet to display image --- ShowImage.java ********************************************************
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ShowImage extends HttpServlet {
//Initialize global variables
protected void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
byte[] rgb = (byte[]) request.getAttribute("byArr");
if (rgb != null)
response.setContentType("image/gif");
OutputStream stream = response.getOutputStream();
stream.write(rgb);
else
response.setContentType("text");
response.getWriter().write("attribute byArr not found");
This code will enable to to upload and display the image. If you know Struts, then you can write the Struts-Config.xml file by yourself. Other wise write to me, I will send you that. If you want to save the image in database, then you have to keep it as BLOB datatype is database. For database you need to send the byte array in the uploadAction.java file to database. Database will keep the image as binary.
Thanks

[VB, CS3] How to place images using wildcards in filenames

Dear all,
Can anyone think of a way to place an image using a wildcard in the filename?
I can place the image fine if the complete filename is known, but what if the filename changes from day to day? - eg it could be House1234.tif for one document then House56r.tif for another. So I'd like to place House*.tif sort of thing. The files are in different folders, of which the path is known.
Any ideas?
Nigel

Get the contents of the whole folder in an array, then you can check each item to see if it matches some criterium. In Javascript (VB should be similar):
function find_file (dir, mask)
 var f = Folder (dir).getFiles ('*.*');
 for (var i = 0; i < f.length; i++)
 if ( // compare f[i].name and mask here
 return f[i];
This returns the first file in "dir" that matches "mask".

How to combine images from several different shoots into one

Have LR 3.6 for Win xp.
I have 4 differernt photo shoots that I want to combine into one big single catalogue. I want to be able to rank and choose images from all 4 shoots at the same time so I can get the best ones identified.
Each shoot is already in its separate catalogue but I cant figure out how to get all 4 shoots to show up at once so I can rank the best shots and maybe even make a collection of my best images from the 4 shoots.
How might I do this??
Thanks Suzzie

My primary suggestion is that you watch the many videos by Julianne Kost provided in the Adobe site about organizing in the Library Module in LR 4, or read one of the many good LR books. If you want to venture on your own here's a very shorthand description of one of many ways to do what you want. Choose which Catalog you want to use. Open that Catalog and choose "Import from Another Catalog" under the File Menu in the Library Module. Select the images and import them to your chosen main catalog. Once all are in the same Catalog either Keyword all similar images you wish to compare, or make separate Collections of each one. Use the Compare function in the Library ("c" key) and eliminate the one you don't want. Unless you have one client viewing your images in LR and you don't want them to see that you have other images for other clients, I would suggest you use only a single catalog from here on out.

How to combine images?

Dear Friends,
I would like to preview a thumbnail image which is combined from different image files.
I have 4 rgb thumbnail Images, actually they are created by CMYK image fiiles. if I want to combine these image into an image for preview. How can I do?
I need to convert rgb to CMYK? and then convert back to rgb?
I have no idea how to do this.., please help ~~
Does anyone has tried to make this type of function or alorighm? I would be appreciate that if you can teach me and provide me some examples.
Thanks for kindly help !!

If you want to do anything complicated with raster images you want the Java Advanced Imageing package. It's not part of the standard JDK but it's available free on Sun's site. It provides a wide range of filters which you use to construct a "pipeline" from your image source to a display, or back to a new image file.
Filters include mosaic (for placing images side by side) and colour space conversion filters.
I think you'll find what you want (though there's a lot of documentation to wade through).

Merging 2 images using layers

I'm trying to use one image as a background for another image. I can make a layer on one image, and a layer on the other. But I can't see how you maerge the two?
In Pshop you simply select it all then copy and paste and you have 2 images in seperate layers, but Elements doens't work like that.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

How to send images using Tuxedo 6.5

What would be the best way to send images( bmp, jpeg, gif) using Tuxedo 6.5? Ideally,
I would like to keep the image with the data, ie., have the image as a field in
the FML32 buffer. I can't see anyway of doing this... Create a new buffer type??
Thanks
Rich

Rich,
How about storing the binary image in an FML field of type CARRAY?
Be aware of the performance impact of very large buffers - >75% of MSGMNB (I
think) and they're transferred by file i/o -

Peter.

How to display image using Carousel in ADF using BLOB column DB

Hello everyone ,
I tried creating a Carousel component in ADF do display an image , but it seems to be not working .
This is what i tried .
1 ) Created an empty page .
2) From data control drag and drop view object ( one of the column in DB is blob which saves the image ) as Carousel .
3 ) Drag and drop the image over Carousel component ,
Now what should be the source for the image ?? from expression builderi tried giving #{item.Image} images are not picking up .
Could you please advice .
--Keerthi

Keerthi,
You cannot display a BLOB as image as it is. You need to convert them to display in your UI.
Check out this blog on how to use a servlet to convert the blob into image and display in the page.

P.S : Always mention your JDev version and the technologies used.
