How to cut out part of an image and replace with another?

ok, i'm a newbie to image editing, and i want to cut out a persons face in a picture and put in another face on the picture. i'm sure this is pretty simple, i just have no idea where to start. can someone point me in the right direction? thanks!

Aperture is not a pixel editor, which is what you need. Photoshop is the app used for this, but it's cost is several times that of AP! As suggested in the second post, look into Photoshop Elements, a slimmed-down and much cheaper version of Photoshop. [I don't use Elements, so if someone knows that it can't do area copies from one pic to another, please join the conversation!]
And get a good book on Photoshop or Elements, there's a huge learning curve involved. I'd suggest going to a book shop, pulling a few such books off the shelf and check their index for editing techniques. Sometimes you'll find one book that gives you the exact step-by-step instructions for doing what you want. Then there'll be others that don't get into the topic or do a poor job.

Cut out parts of a file and process the copied information

Hello all,
I have a problem as described. There are files with clearly distinguishable start and end markers as well as some characters in-between that need to be replaced. Such files may have e.g. the following structure:
Start of file
... file content here ...
<Start marker>
... file content here ...
<Character_1 that needs to be replaced with another character>
... some more file content ...
<Character_N that needs to be replaced with another character>
... still more file content ...
<End marker>
... and even more irrelevant content ...
End of fileI need to copy the file content between <Start marker> and <End marker> thereby replacing encountered special <Characters> in-between. The so 'cut out' content where characters were replaced needs to be saved to a file or just available as file object for further processing.
I am wondering if there is a way to do the copying of content and substitution of characters simultaneously to speed up the whole process as the files may be quire large. Any suggestions with regard to the described task are most welcome. Thank you very much in advance!

- read char
- replace char if necessary
- store char
Repeat until you hit end marker
Whether that actually speeds it up needs to be proven, though. I'd guess char-wise reading slows things down.

Cutting out part of a photo and reshaping

Dear illustartors,
this may be a photoshop or illustartor question, I'm not sure. Here's what I want to do:
take part of a photo and cut it out - the shape isn't regular, something of a rough rectangle
take the cut out shape and reshape it, I need to move two oof the corners in to form a rough trapezium
I want the contents of the cutout shape (part of a photo) to shrink appropriately within the reshaped object... Imagine the shape is an old door, The shape wouldn't exactly be a rectangle because it's a bit beaten up; having cut it out I want to make the new shape but still see the edges, coners and panels, he new shap will be the same hieght on the left-hand side but reduced on the right-hand side - as if creating perspective.
Is this possible somehow?
thank you......................... liz

Thank you wade I will have a go!
UPDATE: yes that's good. I created a "sunray" using a line which I transformed to have as many lines as the mesh I used (actualy it had half the number plus 1 for the lower half of the sunray, then repeated the operation fo an identical line on top of the first but wit the ange of transformation = to 360 - the angle of the first line's transformation) and made the line long enough to get the perspective right, this I then used as a guide to move the mesh lines. The only thing I would have liked is to a) lock the verticalsin the mesh so I didn't move them inadvertently and b) if I could have moved the beginning and end point of a mesh horizontal and said now redrawn the line between these two points it would have been quicker. (I was using illustrator)

How to import a image and compare with another image to find their deviation

i am new to labview , can anyone tell how to import a image and compare it with another image to find their deviation
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is an quite easy task using the Vision Development Module.
There you can acquire images from cameras or read them form the harddrive, then differntiate them or since VDM 2010 calculate the optical flow between consecutive images.

How to find a word and replace with another

hello,
i just finished implementing a new website. I have about 20
pages and lots of content. Last second, I am told that they need to
change one word with another through out the website. Since there's
so much text content, I was wondering if Dreamweaver has a feature
like the Microsoft Word, in which I could type in that word and
automatically replace it with another - through out the page.
Thnx
Ash

Printed photos cut out part of the image!

Just got my Mac 3 months ago........I transferred photos from Nikon Transfer software to iphoto. When I finished editing photos in iphoto I sent them to a desktop folder then burned them onto a disc. When my customer tried to print them it cut some of the heads off of the subjects. I shot them in a very high resolution so that my client could get the best photo quality for extra large prints, if she desired.
Average size of photo is 3069 x 2337. Jpeg format
Please help, as I am new to mac and want to re-burn the photos so that they may be printed smaller without loss of parts of the actual image (like peoples heads).
Thanks SO much!!

Crop them to the ratio that your friend will be printing - 4:6, 5:7, 8:10 - what ever
Digital photos form point and shoot cameras typically are in a 4:3 ratio and from a DSLR in a 3:2 ratio - they are probably printing is a different ratio

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

Urgent please!!!!
Anybody knowns how to cut a part of a video with JMF and the result send as stream for a client? (I don�t want to save this part in a file, but a want to send as stream):

I think RTSP may be a solution, it should allow to choose a time that the sequence starts (and possibly ends) at.
Hope this helps,

Using applet to select a part of an image and then save it

Hi ,
I want to use applet to select a part of an image and then save that particular selected part to a server. can anyone provide me a code for this. I have found codes on the sun site which help in uploading an image but I am having trouble in trying to select a part of the image.

Sorry to get back to you so late, but I was away from my computer this afternoon.
I'm not sure just what you are after. I do see that you have positioned the tree on the labels. I went to the web site for the label company, and their instructions are not too helplful.
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=15sBkl9OZE9xSkHoLMxgwjTFv2VCg1
I changed the white portion of 1 label to black - - this can be any color. To do this use the magic wand tool, tolerance=10 worked for me, then go to Edit>fill selection.

When i Place a PSD in Indesign it comes in at 200+% while the image frame is considerably smaller. How do i place so that the image and image frame match?

When i Place a PSD in Indesign it comes in at 200+% while the image frame is considerably smaller. How do i place so that the image and image frame match?

Peter,
The screenshots tell you everything.
The second one tells you how the image frame is automatically set up after a one-click place. It's the blue stroked rectangle with the eight control points at each corner and mid-way along the line. This image frame is generated at a proportionally correct height and width for the image it contains.
Now, if you look at the third screenshot (click on it to see it at a larger size), you will see I've used the direct selection tool (white arrow) to click on the image within the image frame. This CLEARLY shows the image (within the image frame) is substantially larger than the frame generated to contain it. This is indicated by the yellow stroked rectangle with the eight control points at each corner and mid-way along the line.
Notice that the blue and yellow rectangles are vastly different sizes.
In InDesign CS5.5, when i clicked to place the image, the image would fit perfectly within its image frame. the blue and yellow rectangles would match.
I had no need to go click on the proportional fill and centre buttons like i need to do now in CC.
I have a keyboard shortcut to place. I can't do File > Place for the amount of images i need to place.
So to reiterate: How do i place an image so that the image and image frame match?

How do I remove one failing hard drive from raid set and replace with new one

Last Friday apparently one of my raid drives started failing.
As I mentioned on this forum I started getting continous beeping.
I was finally able to get the raid working at a degraded level. I ordered a replacement hard drive which is arriving today.
(In the meantime I made twice daily backups of my work.....)
Below was the message I got from the browser based raid software:
Blahblah 09    1000.2GB   RaidSet Member SamSung HD103SJ
Blahblah 10    1000.2GB     Free                 SamSung HD103SJ
Blahblah 11    1000.2GB   RaidSet Member SamSung HD103SJ
Blahblah 12    1000.2GB   RaidSet Member SamSung HD103SJ
(See this earlier thread if you wish!)
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/727867?tstart=0
At one point when I did the checked the browser interface I saw the message Failed and Degraded
As I said, I was able to work over the weekend on the degraded system.
This morning I got the beeping again and did the rescue and now I am running a "full raid" without the notice that one raid was "Free".
In any case, the new hard drive is arriving today.
What steps should I take to incorporate the new drive into the raid system.
I have one OS drive
and 4 tb raid drives.   One needs to be replaced with the new one that I am getting today.
Thanks
Rowby

Harm,
Regarding your comment:
Re: How do I remove one failing hard drive from raid set and replace with new one
Please tell me how to read the serial number from an individual drive rather easily, without un-installing them:
If you select the proper drive to change out, you only need to remove one drive and look at its serial number...
Step 1: Identify bad drive serial number using Areca's tools
Step 2: Turn off the computer
Step 3: Remove what you think is the bad drive based on following your numbered cable method, marked hot-swap bays, whatever
Step 4: Verify that the serial number matches the "bad drive" serial number from step 1; if it does great, proceed; if it does not match, go back to step 3
Step 5: Change out the CORRECT drive - that's the bottom line for this whole procedure
Cheers,
Jim
