How to crop selected area?

Is it possible to crop the selected area of a page, because now if i go to Tools>Pages>Crop it can only crop the area that is outside the selected area?
Thanks!

This delete the content inside the selected area but doesn't crop the area, but i guess i could use it.
How can i add content from the clipboard and retain the format? I am trying to create pdf file with content that i copy from html pages but when i paste the text it paste it as plain text, doesn't keep the format.

  • "Cropping" selected areas of a video

    I have just imported my first video to iMovie, and this is what I'm trying to do:
    The video is a recording of my sister singing a song at her school. At the bottom of the screen there are people's heads, and on both sides of my sister there are large areas of empty space. Basically what I want to do is 'zoom' in far enough or crop the image (in the photo-editing sense) so I can get rid of all the unwanted space on screen (she is standing in a stationary position, so I could select a single area that would apply to all frames).
    I'm trying to phrase my intentions the best I can, but my vocabulary in this matter is rather limited.
    Any tips on how to do this?
    Thanks a lot,
    Kevin

    Hi liquidspaces - welcome to the forum!
    There are plug-ins that will do what you want - for example, see:

    You must remember that zooming your movie will reduce its quality significantly. Generally, it is not a good idea!

  • How to crop work area?

    I have a Flash animation that has objects that bleed over the
    work area. If I view the SWF alone - outside of HTML - I can expand
    it, and it shows the objects outside the 800x600 area of my SWF.

    draw it in different color, otherwise it will merge and if
    you delete it will take
    the whole thing out.
    also good the de-select - hit the ESC button once you done
    drawing than delete it.
    Take note, make sure your object drawing option is not set ON
    otherwise all shape
    you draw will be Grouped by default and you can't cut hole in
    it unless you double
    click it.
    To alternately change Object Drawing on and off, use the J
    key while using any of the
    drawing tools. Hit J draw something, hit J again and draw one
    more, see the difference.

  • How can I select areas inside incomplete shapes?

    Hi,
    I'm often required to open PDF drawings outputted from AutoCAD and add colour to them. I do this by opening the PDF in Illustrator and drawing colour shapes in a layer underneath the CAD drawing. Illustrator is good at handling all of the lines from the PDF, but shapes are never interpreted as connected shapes, they are always broken shapes made up of lines. I find it's faster to re-draw them in a layer underneath than to try to join the broken shapes.
    Ideally it would really speed up my workflow dramatically if Illustrator had an area select feature like Photoshop, for example if I could just click inside the broken shape with the magic wand tool and it would select the area.
    Is it possible that this feature exists in Illustrator and I just haven't found it? Any recommendations would be appreciated.
    G.

    Do this:
    1. Use the shape tools to draw a few ordinary closed paths, overlapping each other partially. .25 pt. stroke, no fill.
    2. Select all the paths. Object>Path>Add Anchor points. Repeat 8 times or so.
    3. Select>Object>DirectionHandles.
    4. Edit>Cut.
    5. Delete.
    6. Edit>PasteInFront.
    Now you have a what looks like enclosed areas, but is really just a bunch of tiny open paths. You've simulated the kind of thing you frequently get from CAD exports.
    7. Select all.
    Now record an Action that performs these steps:
    1. Apply 1 pt black stroke with round endcaps and joins.
    2. Object>Path>OutlineStroke.
    3. Apply the Merge Pathfinder.
    4. Object>CompoundPath>Release.
    Stop recording.
    Everything will look like it just acquired a black fill. But now you have a Group of ordinary closed paths with black fills and no strokes. The outermost closed path completely surrounds the others and is offset from them by 1 pt. (thus, serving as the line work). You can now click the fills of the other paths and apply whatever fill colors you want.
    The Action can now be applied with one click.
    I frequently use a slight elaboration of such an Action when importing DXFs of exploded assembly drawings. I Lasso or marquee-select around the disjointed paths that make up the drawing of an object, and then run the Action with one click. The result is white-filled closed paths, simplified to remove excess anchorPoints, with a heavier weight outline around the outer perimeter. (Helps clarify individual parts in an exploded drawing--not proper thick/thin treatment, but servicable. Also serves for color-coding by the thick outlines if you.)
    The exact best steps to include in the Action depends partially on the nature of the kinds of drawings you typically import; but the principle is generally like that outlined above.
    All of this (including workarounds with LivePaint) is, of course, ridiculous workaround for Illustrator's ridiculous lacking any kind of intelligent join command.

  • How to crop a QuickTime movie to delete black top and bottom areas?

    How to crop a QuickTime movie? I mean, a ".mov" movie that shows a black area on top and bottom, which I want to delete.
    I have tried with iMovie 8.0.5, yet its "Window - Cropping..." to fit, crop and Ken burns does not allow to select the area that I want, which is extra wide.
    Thanks.

    How to crop a QuickTime movie? I mean, a ".mov" movie that shows a black area on top and bottom, which I want to delete.
    Basically, you have two options. 1) You can use an application like MPEG Streamclip (free) which allows you to reset the top/bottom/left/right screen edges (i.e., crop the active viewing area) and then re-compress the remaining content as a new file (as recommended by QTKirk) or 2) if you have QT Pro, you can simply "mask" the player display which crops the display screen to the desired mask dimension and location within the original area. The advantage of the latter work flow is not having to re-compress the file which can be very time consuming. Since the latter method may seem confusing to some, I have prepared a "quickie" tutorial which may be able to "talk" you through the process:

  • There no lenses listed in the profile selection area. How do I fix this I use canon gear that should

    There no lenses listed in the profile selection area. How do I fix this I use canon gear that should be there. Help!

    There are different profiles for camera Raw, and for camera JPG - and LR filters the lenses list, to show only the profiles available for the particular image you have highlighted.
    If you have selected a JPG image, you will usually see a much shorter or even an empty list of lenses - as compared with what you see if you select a Raw image. Most lens profiles with interchangeable-lens systems, are designed to correct Raw images. On the other hand, if you select an image taken with (say) a compact digital camera or supported cameraphone, any support for that will usually be in JPG.
    You can get a free Lens downloader utility from the Adobe Labs website, which gives access to the full library of lens profiles that the general Adobe user community has uploaded. Each one listed, says whether it is for Raw or not. Some of these will have been generated by end users (using another free utility) and are of variable quality. But you may get lucky, and find just what you need. Or, if it is a rarer lens or if you have particular requirements, it is not so hard to make your own profile using the Adobe utility.
    You do not need to use a profile made specifically for your camera model. The only limitation is: a crop-sensor-generated profile, will not include the right optical coverage for a fullframe camera model.
    Another option is to "kludge" a copy of an existing Raw-only profile, so that it supports JPG instead. This just requires a text editor - you change a line within a structured-text file, from Camera Raw="True", to "False". Then you save that into the Lens Profile folder in the Adobe / CameraRaw area inside your user login's "application data" area.

    How do you select and move more than one bookmark at a time?
    Shift+Click does not select multiple items that are next to one another in a list because the items open in firefox before this happens.

    Use the bookmarks library. You may use Shift +Click, and Ctrl + Click to create groupings of selected bookmarks to drag and drop.
    * one method of opening the bookmarks library is keyboard shortcut <br /> Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows)

    Quit the app and restart the iPad.
    In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Try the videos app again.

    Please clarify your "Elements 12". Is that as in Photoshop Elements 12 (photo editor) or Premiere Elements 12 (video editor). And, on what computer operating system is the program running?
    Your question is pointing to Photoshop Elements 12 and that you have posted in the wrong forum. If this is a Photoshop Elements 12 question as I believe it is, please post your thread in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum using the following link provided for your convenience

  • In the slide show timeline, how do I select a photo to crop?

    In the slide show timeline, how do I select a photo to crop?  Sometimes it lets me do it and sometimes I can't select the photo to do it.  I'm not sure why the difference.

    It's version 3.4.2, the latest.  I can double click it, but then I'm out of the slideshow timeline and it's a hassle to quickly go back.  I have to click on another place in my library and then go back to the slideshow and find my place in the timeline where I was.  Many clicks.  I just want to edit (enlarge and move the photo) in the timeline. Sometimes it works, but sometimes I can't get it to. Not sure if there's a "sweet" spot to click on for the photo in the timeline or what that I'm missing at times.

  • How to filter results from 4 dynamic list menus depandant on how many of them are selected

    I have a search page with a form with 4 list menus and 1 submit that post the results to the results page. I can create a record set that either retrieves the correct data from my database if a selection is made from all four menus Or i can create the recordset if only 3 menus have a selection or the same for 2 menus and 1 menu. However i want the user to be able to make a selection from either 1, 2, 3 or all 4 of the menus and the exact data be retrieved. At present if i try to combine the recordset using AND and ORs the results are not specific enough, for example the 4 menus are Location, Type, Price & Style if a user selects from all 4 i only want to retrieve data that matches all 4 criteria, but at the same time if the user selects only 2 of the menus the i want it to retrieve data that matches specifically those 2 variables. I´m not actually sure if i should be creating a more advanced sql query of if its the php side of things that i need to look at. This is my first dynamic site so please be aware i´m still a learner where php and sql is concerned. Please can anyone help?  

    Hey there,
    Thanks for replying,
    I too am using Dreamweaver recordset, my local server is XAMPP ( apache php mysql), i´have pasted my sql recordset below to give an idea of what i´m trying to do, however this does not work as i´m trying to select the exact data based on 4 menus PRICE TYPE LOCATION and BEDS, and also want the search to work if the user only selects options from either 1, 2, 3 or 4 of the menus, with the code as it is if the user select only two options from 2 of the menus the results don´t just find (for example) all results for location AND price they find all results for the location varibale OR the price variable rather than a match for both, if you see what i mean?
    Any suggestions?  
    SELECT trueprice,`desc`, `propid`, `bathrooms`, `photo1`, locationtable.loc, typetable.style, bedtable.`number`
    FROM detailstable JOIN locationtable ON detailstable.location=locationtable.locid JOIN typetable ON detailstable.type=typetable.typeid JOIN pricetable ON detailstable.price=pricetable.priceid JOIN bedtable ON detailstable.beds=bedtable.bedid
    WHERE (location=varloc AND price = varprice AND type=vartype AND beds=varbed ) OR (price=varprice AND location=varloc AND type=vartype) OR  (price=varprice AND location=varloc AND beds=varbed) OR (price=varprice AND beds=varbed AND type=vartype) OR  ( location=varloc AND type=vartype AND beds=varbed) OR  (price=varprice AND location=varloc) OR (price=varprice AND type=vartype) OR (price=varprice AND beds=varbed) OR (type=vartype AND location=varloc) OR (type=vartype AND beds=beds) OR (location=varloc AND beds=varbed) OR (price = varprice OR beds=varbed OR type=vartype OR location=varloc)
    ORDER BY detailstable.trueprice ASC
    Look forward to receiving your thoughts,

    Hiya,
    I'm just doing my first dynamic site too, and am at a similar level to yourself.
    Can you give us more info re the site. What software, eg Dreamweaver etc are you using, and is your server using PHP or ASP etc?
    For what I've used, I amended the SQL side of things in the recordset in Dreamweaver. That way, you can test the SQL as you're setting up the recordset.
    Let me know how you're going on anyway
    Cheers
