How to easily create round (shadowed) corners on a photo?

I would like to be able to create easily round corners on any pics of my gallery. Is there a quick way (plugin) to do it?
Thanks

It's another software package from Apple containing Pages, a word processor/desktop publishing type of application, and Keynote, Apple's version of PowerPoint. About the same price of Photoshop Elements 4 for Mac, which, IMO, would be the application to get if I were going to pay that much. PSE can do so much in the way of advanced editing.
Are you saying the vignette tool in iPhoto doesn't work or it's not what you want?
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How can I create drop shadows with PSE10

How can I create drop shadows with PSE10 & PE10?

Layer styles let you quickly apply effects to an entire layer. In the Effects panel, you can view a variety of predefined layer styles and apply a style with just a click of the mouse.
Three different layer styles applied to text
The boundaries of the effect are automatically updated when you edit that layer. For example, if you apply a drop shadow style to a text layer, the shadow changes automatically when you edit the text.
Layer styles are cumulative, which means that you can create a complex effect by applying multiple styles to a layer. You can apply one style from each style library per layer. You can also change a layer’s style settings to adjust the final result.
When you apply a style to a layer, a style icon appears to the right of the layer’s name in the Layers panel. Layer styles are linked to the layer contents. When you move or edit the contents of the layer, the effects are modified correspondingly.
Once you choose Layer > Layer Style > Style Settings, you can edit the settings of a layer’s style or apply other style settings or attributes available in the dialog box.
Lighting Angle Specifies the lighting angle at which the effect is applied to the layer.
Drop Shadow
Specifies the distance of a drop shadow from the layer’s content. You can also set the size and opacity with the sliders.
Outer Glow Size Specifies the size of a glow that emanates from the outside edges of the layer’s content. You can also set the opacity with the slider.
Inner Glow Size Specifies the size of a glow that emanates from the inside edges of the layer’s content. You can also set the opacity with the slider.
Bevel Size Specifies the size of beveling along the inside edges of the layer’s content.
Bevel Direction Specifies the direction of the bevel, either up or down.
Stroke Size Specifies the size of the stroke.
Stroke Opacity Specifies the opacity of the stroke.

How do I create a cameo effect on certain photos in either iPhoto or aperture?

How do I create a cameo effect on selected photos in aperture?

how do I check to see if I have lay=test version?
When you select Aperture in the Applications folder in the Finder, the version should show below the Aperture icon:
The latest version is 3.4.5.
Well it looks like I now have lost my aperture library, had to open iphoto to use it.!
Have you opened your Aperture ibrary with a version of iPhoto that is newer than your Aperture version? The versions of Aperture and iPhoto must be compatible, to be able to use the same photo library with both applications. To use both Aperture and iPhoto on the same library you would need to have iPhoto 9.4.3 and Aperture 3.4.5.

How can I create a shadow text effect?

How can I add a blur effect to text on a BufferedImage. I am trying to create a shadow text effect. Here is what I have currently.
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(500,120,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Rectangle2D Rectangle = new Rectangle2D.Double(0,0,500,120);
Graphics graphics = image.getGraphics();
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) graphics;
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2d.setPaint(Color.white);
g2d.fill(Rectangle);
g2d.draw(Rectangle);
//Shadow text
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
shadow = new TextLayout("Shadow Text", new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 70), g2d.getFontRenderContext());
g2d.setPaint(Color.lightGray);
shadow.draw(g2d, 13, 103);
//Main text
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
text = new TextLayout("Shadow Text", new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 70), g2d.getFontRenderContext());
g2d.setPaint(Color.black);
text.draw(g2d, 10, 100);
I found a blur effect but it affect the whole image not just the shadow. Here is an example.
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(500,120,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Rectangle2D Rectangle = new Rectangle2D.Double(0,0,500,120);
Graphics graphics = image.getGraphics();
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) graphics;
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2d.setPaint(Color.white);
g2d.fill(Rectangle);
g2d.draw(Rectangle);
//Shadow text
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
shadow = new TextLayout("Shadow Text", new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 70), g2d.getFontRenderContext());
g2d.setPaint(Color.lightGray);
shadow.draw(g2d, 13, 103);
Blur filter
float ninth = 1.0f / 9.0f;
float[] kernel = {ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth, ninth};
biop = new ConvolveOp(new Kernel(3, 3, kernel));
op = (BufferedImageOp) biop;
image = op.filter(image,null);
//Main text
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
text = new TextLayout("Shadow Text", new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 70), g2d.getFontRenderContext());
g2d.setPaint(Color.black);
text.draw(g2d, 10, 100);

I thought I answered that question?!
In your code above, watch out for statement:
image = op.filter(image,null); The resulted buffered image is new, so you are updating the reference held in variable image.
Unfortunately variable g2d is still refering to a graphics object back by the original image, so:
g2d.setPaint(Color.black);
text.draw(g2d, 10, 100);renders on the first buffered image, not the second.
Here's my code again, touched up a bit.

It's pretty easy. Google "ehow iPhone ringtones" to learn how to make them on a PC. There are also website that will create ringtones for the iPhone. I believe audiko and iringer are two but I've never used either.

Alarms are not customizable. You can send feedback - http://apple.com/feedback.

How do I created multiple folders within folders in "Photo"

How do I created multiple folders within folders (subfolders) in "Photo". It happens in the first level when I use the Albums folder, but thereafter it doesn't allow me to create another folder within the folder. I can also not drag a folder into another, after the first level of folders. Please help.

Yes you can. Click once on the top folder and use the File ➙ Create Folder menu option. A new folder will be created inside the selected folder:

How do you create a mirror image of a photo?

Am I just completely missing something or can this not be done unless you make a card or something?? I can see how to rotate and adjust how the picture looks but can't suss out how to simply create a flipped or mirror image of a photo...
Anyone got any quick tips to share?
THANKS

You can't do this in iPhoto.
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Preview, already on your Mac.
Seashore (free)
_[The Gimp|http://www.gimp.org/macintosh>_ also free
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
[Pixelmator|http://www.pixelmator.com> ($60 approx.)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

How do I create rounded corners on an image in CS6?

Hello There!
In the previsous version of Photoshop, I use to do the following so that my pictures had rounded corners:
Open a picture
Click the layer mask button twice
Then use the rectangle tool to get my rounded corners on the preloaded image - Presto, all done!
This does not work in CS6. Does anyone have a better method? I just want to have rounded corners (radius 5) to my photos.
Thank you so much for your help!
-K

You can still use a Rounded Rectangle for a vector layer mask.
Draw your path first, then choose Layer - Vector Mask - Current Path

How do you create rounded tables in Frame 7?

Hi
I'd like to create a table with rounded edges in Frame 7, is this possible? I don't see this option in my 'Table Designer'.
Thanks
Carin

As Art said, not so easy to do and maintain manually. However, this could be a nice little FrameScript that could be re-run everytime one changes the table content.
If you would use this feature a lot, then check out FrameScript at http://www.framescript.com
For more info and other examples of scripted solutions (as well as a capable script provider) see: http://www.frameexpert.com

How to easily create contact groups from MacMail

Here's my dilemma: I want to create a group contact that consists of 27 individuals. The email addresses of these contacts are contained in one email that someone sent me. In order for me to put each contact into a group, I have to go through an exasperating number of steps which are
1) click on the email address, which brings me a drop down menu
2) select "Create Contact"
3) Go to Address Book and type in the name of that contact, then click save
4) Go to the menu to select the "View by Group"
5) Pull the contact into that group
In SnowLeopard, the Address Book allowed one to see in one window the groups, contacts, and new form, so that I didn't have to vascillate between the different views. Is there anything like that in Lion? If I have to do this for 27 new contacts, this is really going to wear out my patience! Thanks in any advance for any suggestions.

Use Mail Scripts' Add Addresses script. It seems to work under Lion, but very slowly. I had to let it run several minutes before it put up the dialog to select addresses and add to a Group.

How do I create a new album in my photos on my iPad 2?

I want to organize the photos on my iPad into different albums. How do I do that without a computer?

If you have IOS5, you can create different albums on your iPad:
1) Open Photos and Select Albums
2) Press the Edit button in the upper right.
3) In the upper left is an option to create a new album.
Having said that, I prefer to create a new album in iPhoto or Aperture and sync those changes to the iPad.
I would respectfuly disagree with Pavlen's final conclusion. An iPad is fabulous (from a slightly biased consumer). :-)
