How to: Crop one head onto another photo

I would like to simply crop a head from one photo and then paste it onto a different photo. Once the head is on the new photo, I would like to adjust the head size to fit. I used to have Roxio Photo Suite that would allow this very simply. Is there a simple way to do this without having to match photo's resolution, size, etc...?

The image you transfer into the open image will adopt the open image's resolution. If the images are not the same resolution, the image being transferred will expand or shrink as part of this process. This can be a problem especially if the image being transferred has significantly less resolution than the open image. Your best bet is to match the image resolution beforehand using the Image Resize dialog. In this dialog, you can employ "resample" and choose the method of interpolation that works best for your circumstances.
Info on interpolation resample methods:

Try to use a head that is at a similar angle as the original so it goes with the body.
Use the free transform commands to adjust the head.
There are several ways to do this although they are all pretty similar. Select head that is at a similar angle to the body. Lower the head's opacity or change the head layer to difference blend mode to help you align the new head on the body with the free transform commands. Either erase or mask out unwanted areas of new head. Use clone stamp if necessary.
There are lots of videos on YouTube on the subject of head swapping.
The one I have linked below is pretty easy to follow.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBUjELnSYHI&feature=related
The tutorial I linked above is made for Photoshop but the technique for doing this in Elements will be similar. Elements does not have the curves dialog so you might try using the levels command. You might also try the Enhance > Adjust Color > Adjust Color For Skin Tone.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PhotoshopElements/7.0_Win/WSB6ACB84A-19AA-4839-A7E6-8DB07EACF0 E4.html
Another difference is the command for create a clipping mask command in Elements is Ctrl + G if on a PC...Cmd + G if on a Mac. The video gives the Photoshop command. (If you have E8 or E9, you can find the command in the menu Layer<Create clipping mask. If you have E7 or below, you can find the command in the menu Layer<Group with Previous. The difference in the command is because Adobe changed the command name from Clipping Group to Clipping mask starting in PSE 8.)

How to crop out wordings on a video

I've been cracking my head for several days now and I can't seem to find a solution. Hope someone over here can help me out! I've got a video and there are some sensitive information like user ID and all that jazz on it. Problem is, how do I sort of crop them out of the video? And also apply it to all the frames in the video. It's just a small part of it on the top right hand corner of the video. The video is actually a screen recorded video. Any form of help is greatly appreciated!
PS I'm still finding my way around PS.

Hi Melissa. I don't normally use Photoshop for video, but this should work.
Open Photoshop, and create a small image that will cover the text. Make it look like a logo, or solid black, or anything you like. Save it as a JPG and remember the location.
Open the video in Photoshop
At the left of the video layer, (in the timeline) click on the drop down-down, and choose 'New Video Group'.
Select the new video layer, click in the drop-down, and choose 'Add Media'. Locate your JPG and OK it.
Select Move, and move it to cover the text.
Hover over the end of the JPG layer, and drag out to the full length of the original video.

HI All,

RegEx: How to find out which part of the pattern failed?

Hi there,
I was wondering: is there any way to find out where the pattern matching failed?
Say I got the string "John Paul Yoko Ringo", and I want to match it against the pattern /John Paul George Ringo/.
I would like to know something like "pattern failed at index 11", or if I had groups something like "matching group 3 failed".
Is there any way to do this? Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
- Torben

I wonder if that is reasonable. It means that the parse tree for the regex would need to keep mapping information.
At a minimum it is going to require an array, not a single result, because a regex can 'fail' in many ways.
Consider the following regex with the following input
/(a|b)d/
abababababx
Where does it 'fail'?Right. If you just want the character position at which it failed, those tools might tell you that as part of a bigger picture. But by itself, without any context, that number's not necessarily meaingful. A given character can be examined many times due to backtracking. Part of the expression could succeed for part of the input, then the expression might fail for the rest, so we backtrack, and may get several more failures, then more partial successes, all at different points, then ultimately it may fail anywhere within the input.
So just knowing where isn't enough. You need to know what steps were taken to get there. I do think these tools provide that, though I haven't looked closely.

How to print only certain parts of a page based on form input

I need to know how to do the following.
I have a PDF with a listing of five addresses. I need to be able to use radio buttons, check boxes, or something similar in order to select certain addresses, and have only those print. But, I need to keep all the addresses available in the electronic copy, and the addresses can't be editable by others. Other people can only choose to print the sheet showing just the addresses they want, such as 1, 2, and 5.
Is this possible? If so, how?
Your help is appreciated!

One way is to set up five buttons, one for each address. Create a separate PDF for each address and use them as the icon source for each button. To set up a button to use an icon, set its Layout to something other than "Label Only".
The buttons should be set to be read-only, and not have a background or border color. When the corresponding check box is selected, the address button would get set to be printing, and non-printing if deselected. Use something like the following as the Mouse Up JavaScript for each check box.
// Mouse Up script for check box
var f = getField("Address1_button");
f.display = (event.target.value === "Off") ? display.noPrint : display.visible;
Replace "Address1_button" with the actual name of the corresponding button.
Instead of using buttons to display the addresses, you may be able to use text fields. It just depends on the formatting you need.

How to link into certain part of swf file through XML?

Hi,
I wonder if we can use XML to link into certain section of a SWF file?
I have purchased a carousel which is composed mainly by AS3 and XML, it contains of 6 images linking to 6 different section of a swf file. From where should I modify to add-in the sub-button onto the carousel image? How should I modify the XML when I click on the sub-button, it will link into certain section of a swf file?
Looking very forward to any of your help! Many Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Evwo

Ready - made carousels usually need very little customization work limited to uploading your own images and writing the path to them in the xml file, you're supplied with.
Some carousels will include options for customizing the text displayed in the buttons. You just need to look for this section in the xml file and change the text accoridng to your needs.
For example if you have the following xml:
<thumb
type="image"
imageURL="/path to image on the server/image1.jpg"
captionText="caption text"
captionText2="caption text"
/>
you can specify 2 texts for image description and it's place on the server

How do I crop out widescreen bars for xport to web?

Hey guys I was wondering if any of you knew how to crop out the black widescreen bars so that if you were watching a movie on a website, (such as how mac does it on its movie trailers site) How do you make it 480 x 260 with no bars instead of having it be 720 x 480 with bars. Basically how do I get rid of the bars. Can you do that in compressor, or FCP or Quicktime.
Thanks!

In the Geometry tab of the Inspector (with your Target loaded), use the Dimensions section to adjust the output screen size. You can use the list in the pop-up menu or you can select custom and input the values in the height and width fields.

How to find out if an object belongs to young or tenured generation

Hi,
Working on an internal memory analysis tool (to embed in an application), and I wonder if anyone knows how to find out what part of the heap an object belongs to (young, tenured, permanent etc.). Since tools like VisualGC (both for JDK 1.4 and 1.5) seem to be able to discern between the objects in the heap, there must be a way to figure it out. Is there an API in JNI, JVMTI or JVMPI or anything else that provides this info?
Thanks,
Luc

In Java 1.5 the Monitoring & Management API can tell you this. See J2SE 5.0 in a Nutshell

How do you cut out the part of an image in a photo?

How do you cut out a part of an image on a photo that you have added to Pages. For example, if I have added a picture of a giraffe to Pages how would I cut out the giraffe from the image and get rid of the rest of the image

You can use the instant alpha tool to make the background transparent.
FYI: Pages is part of iWork, not iLife.

Is it possible to cut out a certain part of a photo and add it to another

hi everyone
im a new aperture user and was wondering if anyone can help , is it possible to remove a certain part of a picture and insert it into another and if so how would i do it?
also is there more tools that are avalable i purschased the version off of the app store for mountain lion
thanks mark

I am sure that there will be other recommendations, but I like PSE because it can do most of the things that Photoshop can do, but it has a "guided mode" and good help files to walk you through. I also like "The Missing Manual" for PSE, it also explains things in a clear and simple manner.
One thing to point out, is that PSE works *with* Aperture. You would use Aperture to organize and do basic editing chores, and, when necessary, Aperture can send the image to PSE for additional work when done PSE sends it back to Aperture.

Put old I life on new computer now I photo dosn't work it says cant open because it may be damaged or incomplete so all my pictures can not be accesed how do I get back to I photo or take what I installed off with out losing all my pictures?

Diane,
Your photos are in the iPhoto Library. Almost certainly that is intact, so don't worry.
Go to your Home folder and open the folder called Pictures. What you want is in there, iPhoto Library. Don't do anything there, this is just to reassure yourself.
So it is a matter of getting the iPhoto app to work. Apps are in the Applications folder. Find it and trash it.
Next download iPhoto:

How to crop photos on iPhone without reducing quality?

I've discovered that the crop function in the standard Photos app reduces the resolution of the remaining portion of the photo (beyond what you would expect after removing part of the image). The Photos app seems to re-encode the image at a lower image quality than the Camera app achieved when it originally took the photo.
For example, if a I take a photo with the Camera at 2448x3264 (3.4MB), and crop all four edges a little in Photo, it reduces to 1536x2047 (992K). If I load the uncropped image into Preview on my Macbook, and do the same crop (as close as I can - and I tried to get it very close indeed) - the image is 2107x2860 (2.1MB). Furthermore, when I look at all three images - uncropped, iPhone-cropped and Preview-cropped - at "Actual size" in Preview, it's clear that the iPhone-cropped image has been reduced (ie. it appears "zoomed out", or smaller dpi) compared to either the uncropped or Preview-cropped images.
Does anyone know if there's a way to crop images on the iPhone without reducing the image quality in this way?

Thank you for the quick reply.
Yes, I understand that a crop function should just remove parts of the image without changing the resolution of what remains. But that's not what I see on the iPhone.
Let's say I have a photo taken on the iPhone which is 2000x3000, and there's a VW van in the photo which is roughtly 500x500 pixels in dimension. If I crop the photo to only include the van, I'd expect to have a 500x500 image. And indeed, that's what I see when I crop the photo in Preview on my Macbook.
When I perform the same crop in Photo on the iPhone, however, I get an image of the van which is smaller - only about 375x375 pixels. It's exactly the same part of the photo, but the iPhone seems to reduce the resolution of the remaining image, not just remove the parts that were cropped.
I'm looking for a way to crop an image on the iPhone without reducing the resolution of what remains. Anyone know of an app that can do that?

For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. Nothing there about sizing.

For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.

With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer.
There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9. It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions. When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen.

How I figured out how to get all of my photos to Sync

Try this, hold the opt + cmd key when opening Iphoto, Check all the boxs to rebuild your library. Go get a beer (it could take a while **took mine 4 hours for 6543 photos**), if the rebuild is done. Quit Iphoto, launch Itunes (make sure all your ipod photo sync prefs are right) , and pray. It worked for me. Finally.
Exporting 6500 photos, re importing them and creating albums.... umm I don't have time, much less years to do that, especially when it shouldn't be doing this in the first place
Btw, I had this problem, made several posts, and NOBODY responded.
Look at my posts, you'll see. All of the postings I replied to are steps that got me on the right path, to making it worse. This is about as frustrating as it gets. So I called apple. I was on the phone with them for FIVE hours and no one there could help me. They said, "We'll get an engineer to help you, and get right back to you" I haven't heard a thing. VERY DISAPOINTED in apple care.
Don't count on anyone or anything from here, just takes time away from our short lives, a and replaces it with angst. Same with Apple Care. Im glad I paid for that nonsence, NOT! At least I will get a battery change out of them.
If worse comes to worse, sit back relax, and be thankful your ipod isn't floating in Mississippi.

I tell you how. dumb luck. Certainly no thanks to "Apple Care" or maybe we should call them apple "careless." I told them my issue , and what I did to fix it so far. They tell me to delete the ipod photo cache and resync. They kill me.
What kills me even more is * I preface this by stating that I am in no way a racist, and this has nothing to do with race, color, or creed, it has to do with getting good customer service. I, myself, am disabled. I have an artificial pelvis and left leg. I know my limits, you wont see me trying to get a job where my disability affects the job I was doing. I running any marathons any time soon*
Id call apple care again, but Im not fluent in some of the languages the telephone customer service agents speak. Funny, youd think that apple would try and get customer service people that can be understood over the phone. Its like hiring a blind guy to drive a school bus. They will get you somewhere, but probably not where you wanted to go. Maybe we should call the Apple HR dept and have them hire some deaf people to field service calls, would be just as smart as hiring someone who was mute, or in Their case someone that can not be understood by an English speaking person. Just my two cents. Feel free to pass it on.
