How to create an action that will crop two sections from one scanned image?

I'm trying to create an action that will automate the process of cropping the left and right pages from a series of two-page book scans.
I tried to create a 2 step action which first crops the left half of a scan (by setting the left margin to 0in and the right margin to 6in) and then the right half of the scan (by setting the left margin to 6in and the right margin to. 12in), however when executing, only the left half appears to be cropped.
I imagine this is due to the fact that once one side of the initial scan is cropped, the other side disappears.
Is there any way around this?

Basically i need to create a new document out of a folder full of images.
You may have to look into Scripting to achieve something like this.
You could ask in the Scriptimg Forum
Photoshop Scripting
But maybe it would suffice to insert the Menu Item
File – Scripts – Load Files into Stack
into the Action and then iterate through the Layers with [ or ] and reset the opacities and Blend Modes – but as Actions would not be able to change the number of repetitions of the operation conditionally a custom Script would still seem preferable.

  • Creating a button that will Copy my view from so I can paste it to MS Word

    Is there a way I can create a button that will copy my view from so I can paste it MS Word?
    I know I can select the entire form and copy and paste it, but is there a way to do it via a button similar to my "Print Form" button?
    Thank you.

    so there isn't a button that will copy the text my view form?
    instead of highlighting the data I want to easily copy it so I can paste it on a word document
    I came up with a script that when a item is highlighted I click the copy to clipboard and it copies the item.
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function CopyToClipboard()
    CopiedTxt = document.selection.createRange();
    CopiedTxt.execCommand("Copy");
    </script>
    but is there a way I can put in the script the area I want to start the copy from instead of highlighting the text first?
     

  • I need instructions on how to create a button that will email a pdf form to someone else on a websit

    I NEED ASSISTANCE CREATING A BUTTON THAT WILL EMAIL A PDF FORM FROM A WEBSITE TO WHOEVER THE VIEWER WANTS TO

    Just a bit more info. E-mail can be used, but has potential problems -- often related to the client machine that you have no control over. Use the data submissions (either FDF or XML) rather than the full PDF so you do not have to deal with Reader Rights and the related license issues. The FDF and XML data files are easily imported into the original form so that you see what the client sees. With those aspects in mind, just go ahead and try one. Be aware that you can add form fields using the form tools in the Advanced Editing tools, OR use the forms menu that will take you to Designer. You might want to try both to see the pros and cons. Be sure to keep such a test simple so you are not wasting time on your final form just for testing. I typically create a 1 page form that has all of the possible fields for such a test.

The idea is to have pages added like it is on Facebook, when a member signs up.

  • Can I create an action that will print to a specific printer?

    Hi all,
    Simple question. I want to create two buttons. One that will print a form to printer 1 (a work printer) and one button that will print to printer 2 (OneNote printer, aka Send to OneNote).
    Is that possible? No extra options needed, just a quick print.

    With the JavaScript doc.print method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.511.html

  • How to create an easteregg that will reveal an image

    I created a flash movie which resembles a control panel. I created a image of the group of people that worked on the project and I want the image to be hidden until the user types a key combination that would trigger the image to appear and dissapear when clicked. This url is something like what I was looking for,  (www.virtualmarketingblog.com/how-to-create-alert-boxes-in-flash/) but I want an image to appear instead, can this be customized?  The only problem is, I'm not really good at actionscript. Is there any tutorials out there that may show an easy way to do this. The attached file is a sample of my interface.

  • How to create dynamic stamp that will prompt for Cause number and exhibit number?

    I have a need to have a three line custom stamp that will look like the following but will allow a user to input the Cause number then the exhibit number, then successively number exhibits that the stamp is applied to:
    EXHIBIT
    12:74130
    001
    Exhibit will always be the same, but the cause number would need to be modifiable per batch possibly and I would like to be able to update the exhibit number to have a unique number on each page of exhibits....or just each exhibit.
    Can that be done?
    thanks!

    It sounds like you are trying to use a retail serial as an enterprise serial and would like to bypass it's restrictions by deactivating it . . . I assume that's not possible, but perhaps I don't understand your issue.
    I doubt you'll get a good answer on the forum. Try support, your sales rep, or a help link on the licensing web site (if there is one).

  • HELP!How to create HD disc that will play back in HD DVD or Blu-Ray player?

    Footage comes from Panasonic HVX200 as DVCPRO HD 1080i60, all appropriate settings made in FCP5 to edit. Have already made SD DVD, whoopie.
    Now client is interested in real HD version that they can play back on HD DVD or Blu-Ray set top unit. Of all my research, I've discovered little about how to make a "real" HD video disc. OSX doesn't support Blu-Ray burning, OK. What about HD DVD burning support? And what drive to purchase for this application?
    I understand DVD Studio will allow me to author a disc with HD content...that I can burn onto DVD5. Useless to the client. Need to burn on either Blu-Ray or HD DVD media.
    Aside from encoding in Compressor, what do I do when I need to make this HD disc happen? Compressor step seems easy enough to figure out. Just very unclear on how to burn out appropriate video disc.
    Thanks for your help.

    For Blu-Ray creation:
    I'm curious if DVDit! works in parallels too, though it will certainly work in BootCamp. The question is what format should FCP/Compressor output to in order for DVDIt, etc. on BC or Parallels need in order to create the disc?
    MPEG-2 and H.264 should work, but who knows?
    In the meantime, I have HDV source footage that I edit. I print the final edit back to HDV for archiving, and burn a HD-DVD on a DL DVD+R red laser disc to show on my Toshiba HD-DVD player using DVDSP. It works, and I can get about 40 minutes of MPEG-2/HDV on there without transcoding at 1080i and it looks fantastic.
    In the future, I hope to be able to dump the HDV final edit onto a Blu-Ray disc. I'm guessing Adobe Encore will be needed on the Mac for that.
    The point here is there certainly are options that work. I do wish Apple added Blu-Ray burning capability.
    There's still room for that, however... FCS 1 (and even now 2, with AVCHD support, albeit non-native) have histories of adding new support for codecs, etc. in free updates.

  • How to create a dimension that will reference another dimension

    Im creating a new cube without having a schema or DSV in place yet.  Starting from scratch.  In my OLTP database I have a table 'Orders' which contains various FK references to other tables, which in turn might reference two other tables.
    For example.  Orders has a FK to a table called MarketAuthority.  This is a table that contains references to two other tables Market and Authority.  
    How can setup my dimension(s) to capture this, if Im starting with no DSV or schema for a data warehouse.
    Correct me if Im wrong, but I think I just setup a new dimension called MarketAuthority and use it from the Measuregroup for the Orders.  However, how will I reference the Authority.  I assume it will be a dimension as well, but how do I relate
    MarketAuthority and Authority?
    In other words, say you had these types of tables in your OLTP system
    Orders (salesperson, account, department ...)
    OrderDetails (references order, many to 1)
    Goals (references many of the same attributes eg. salesperson as order)
    Im thinking I need 3 separate measure groups?
    Im looking over the Adventureworks 2008 SSAS example project for how its setup.

    I think im looking at this all wrong.
    Again, with the example tables above, I can still create 3 different measure groups, but they all will need to reference some of the same dimensions.  This will result in 3 different fact tables when the schema is realized I believe?
    What I think i was missing was that something like an OrderDetail table, that refers back to an Order will need references also to the same attributes as the order, at least as regard to the fact table(s).
    In other words, if Orders has a SalesPerson key, account key etc, then OrderDetails will as well, IN ADDITION TO the order id as a measure.  
    Or ... does this sound like the case for a Fact type dimension?
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms167409(v=sql.105).aspx
    Hi Shiftbit,
    As you said, it related to Degenerate dimensions which also called fact dimensions, are standard dimensions that are constructed from attribute columns in fact tables instead of from attribute columns in dimension tables.
