How to split image into smaller (same size) pieces?

Hi all,
My question is how to split image into smaller (same size) pieces, using Photoshop elements 13? Could anyone help me with this one?
Thanks!

Use the Expert tab in Editor (I think that is what it is called in PSEv.13)
You may find the grid helpful. Go to View>Grid. It will not print, but will help to orient you. You can set up the gridlines to suit via Edit>Preferences>Guides and Grid. If you want to partition the picture in to 4 uniform pieces, it would be Gridline every 50%, Subdivision 1. Also, go to View>Snap to>Grid.
Set up the Rectangular marquee tool: If the picture is 6" wide & 4" high, enter width=3in & height=2in.on the tool's option bar. This will be a fixed size.
Click and select one quadrant, press CTRL+J to place this quadrant on a separate layer
Repeat for the other 3 quadrants
You should end up with 5 layers : Background, and layers 1, 2, 3, 4.

How to insert image into table and to in Oracle 9i intermedia?

Mr Lawrence,
I want to ask something:
I use Oracle 9i intermedia
If i use this script:
CREATE TABLE images (
file_name VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL,
image ORDSYS.OrdImage
then
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY imgdir AS 'd:/data';
then
INSERT INTO images (file_name, image)
VALUES ('tree', ORDSYS.ORDImage.init('file','imgdir','tree.jpg' ));
I put tree.jpg in directory d:/data in my hard drive.
Is my tree.jpg file had already get in to my images table?
I'm little confuse, because when i check my table with this script:
select file_name, i.image.getWidth() from images i;
it's show that my i.image.getWidth() for file_name tree is empty.. that mean my tree.jpg doesn't get in to my table.. am i correct?
N also i want to ask how to display to screen all of my image from images table?
Is it posible Oracle 9i intermedia to support display image from table?
How?
thanks Mr Lawrence

-- First step would be to create a directory in oracle and map it to the folder where your image resides.
create directory image_dir as *'c:\image_dir';*
Then you would have to use a procedure to insert the image in your table. SO first create a table to hold the image. Note that you have to use a BLOB to insert the image.
CREATE TABLE test_image
ID NUMBER,
image_filename VARCHAR2(50),
image BLOB
Now let's write the procedure to insert the image in the table above.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE insert_image_file (p_id NUMBER, p_image_name IN VARCHAR2)
IS
src_file BFILE;
dst_file BLOB;
lgh_file BINARY_INTEGER;
BEGIN
src_file := BFILENAME ('image_DIR', p_image_name);
-- insert a NULL record to lock
INSERT INTO temp_image
(ID, image_name, image
VALUES (p_id, p_image_name, EMPTY_BLOB ()
RETURNING image
INTO dst_file;
-- lock record
SELECT image
INTO dst_file
FROM temp_image
WHERE ID = p_id AND image_name = p_image_name
FOR UPDATE;
-- open the file
DBMS_LOB.fileopen (src_file, DBMS_LOB.file_readonly);
-- determine length
lgh_file := DBMS_LOB.getlength (src_file);
-- read the file
DBMS_LOB.loadfromfile (dst_file, src_file, lgh_file);
-- update the blob field
UPDATE temp_image
SET image = dst_file
WHERE ID = p_id AND image_name = p_image_name;
-- close file
DBMS_LOB.fileclose (src_file);
END insert_image_file;
Now execute the procedure to insert the image.
EXECUTE insert_image_file(1,'test_image.jpg');
Thanks,

How to fade image to time points?

It sounds simple, but it's had me scratching my head for hours...
Does anyone know how to fade an image to certain opacities at certain points?
E.g... I want to start an image at 60% opacity, and then fade it to 25% opacity over two seconds. And then have it run at 25% opacity for another 20 seconds.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the response, Mark.
But it doesn't seem possible to adjust opacity by recording. The option's greyed out. And the problem with the HUD is that it's simple to fade in and fade out. But anything more involved - like fading down from 100% - isn't possible.
But switch to keyframe editor, and anything's possible :o)

How to: add images into an Interactive PDF

I was wondering if it was possible to add images into an interactive PDF once it has been sent to someone. The PDFs are forms that need to be filled by a client via their iPads using Adobe Expert, and they may need to occasionally attach images to the document and be able to edit these images (i.e. circle parts of the image to highlight them) then send these PDF's back to myself.
Is there a way this can be done?
Thanks

There is no program on the iPad called Adobe Expert. I think you mean Adobe Reader.
Adobe Reader lets you fill in forms but not to attach images. If you wish to make a request of the Adobe Reader product manager, you can post on the Adobe Reader for iOS forum here:

How to include images into a servlet

Hi guys,
I found out that I can't include both the "setContentType("image/gif")" and the "setContentType("text/html")" in a servlet. I've tried different methods, but I can't get it right.
Could anyone tell how to do that...?
Thanks...

I beg your pardon? You want to send text and image in the same response? Can't be done. If you go and look at pretty much any HTML page on the web you will see how to include images in HTML.

How to put program into background.

dear all,
     i want to put one of my zreport into background execution.
please tell me the steps to do this.
thanks in adance.
Vinod

Vinod,
Scheduling Background Jobs:
1.        Background jobs are scheduled by Basis administrators using transaction SM36.
2.        To run a report in a background, a job needs to be created with a step using the report name
and a variant for selection parameters. It is recommended to create a separate variant for each
scheduled job to produce results for specific dates (e.g. previous month) or organizational units (e.g.
company codes).
3.        While defining the step, the spool parameters needs to be specified
(Step-> Print Specifications->Properties) to secure the output of the report and help authorized users
to find the spool request. The following parameters needs to be maintained:
a.        Time of printing: set to Send to SAP spooler Only for now
b.        Name abbreviated name to identify the job output
c.        Title free form description for the report output
d.        Authorization a value defined by Security in user profiles to allow those users to access
this spool request (authorization object S_SPO_ACT, value SPOAUTH). Only users with matching
authorization value in their profiles will be able to see the output.
e.        Department set to appropriate department/functional area name. This field can be used in
a search later.
f.        Retention period set to Do not delete if the report output needs to be retained for more
than 8 days. Once the archiving/document repository solution is in place the spool requests could
be automatically moved to the archive/repository. Storage Mode parameter on the same screen
could be used to immediately send the output to archive instead of creating a spool request.
Configuring user access:
1.        To access a report output created by a background job, a user must have at
least access to SP01 (Spool requests) transaction without restriction on the user
name (however by itself it will not let the user to see all spool requests). To have
that access the user must have S_ADMI_FCD authorization object in the profile with
SPOR (or SP01) value of S_ADMI_FCD parameter (maintained by Security).
2.        To access a particular jobs output in the spool, the user must have
S_SPO_ACT object in the profile with SPOAUTH parameter matching the value used
in the Print Specifications of the job (see p. 3.d above).
3.        Levels of access to the spool (display, print once, reprint, download, etc) are
controlled by SPOACTION parameter of S_SPO_ACT. The user must have at least
BASE access (display).
On-line reports:
1.        Exactly the same configuration can be maintained for any output produced
from R/3. If a user clicks Parameters button on a SAP Printer selection dialog, it
allows to specify all the parameters as described in p. 3 of
Scheduling background jobs section. Thus any output created by an online report
can be saved and accessed by any user authorized to access that spool request
(access restriction provided by the Authorization field of the spool request
attributes, see p. 3.d of Scheduling background jobs section).
Access to reports output:
1.        A user that had proper access (see Configuring user access above) can
retrieve a job/report output through transaction SP01.
2.        The selection screen can be configured by clicking Further selection
criteria button (e.g. to bring Spool request name (suffix 2) field or hide other
fields).
3.        The following fields can be used to search for a specific output (Note that
Created By must be blank when searching for scheduled jobs outputs)
a.        Spool request name (suffix 2) corresponds to a spool name in p. 3.b in
Scheduling background jobs section above).
b.        Date created to find an output of a job that ran within a certain date range.
c.        Title corresponds to spool Title in p. 3.c in Scheduling background jobs
section above).
d.        Department - corresponds to spool Department in p. 3.e in Scheduling
background jobs section above).
4.        Upon entering selection criteria, the user clicks the Execute button   to
retrieve the list of matching spool requests.
5.        From the spool list the user can use several function such as view the
content of a spool request, print the spool request, view attributed of the spool
request, etc. (some functions may need special authorization, see p.3 in
Configuring user access)
a.        Click the Print button   to print the spool request with the default attributes
(usually defined with the job definition). It will print it on a printer that was
specified when a job was created.
b.        Click the Print with changed attributed button   to print the spool request
with the different attributes (e.g. changing the printer name).
c.        Click the Display contents button   to preview the spool request contents. A
Print    and Download   functions are available from the preview mode.
Pls. reward if useful....

I know your original pl/sql routine contained a COMMIT, but did you use the same code with the COMMIT? If not, are you checking the table from a different session?
I ran your same code and it worked without issues. Are saying if you do a SELECT COUNT(*) from test007 it returns zero rows?
