How to feather edge in image?

First I used a marquee selection tool to draw around the image.  Then I went to Select>Feather and did what I had to do.  But nothing happened.  I even followed Adobe Help's instructions but nothing happened.  I use PSE8.  Thanks.

If you just feather, all you've done is feather the edges of the selection, so you won't see any difference. Copy/paste your selection into a new file, or do Select>Inverse, and then press backspace/delete to see the edge.

    In Edge Animate, how do I fade an image in on mouseover?
    Thanks!

    You can either make a symbol and use a transition in Animate and use play() and playReverse() on mouseenter and mouseleave or you could use  animate() on the element for our mouse events.
    fadeout
    sym.$("elementName").animate({"opacity":0.00},3000);
    fadein
    sym.$("elementName").animate({"opacity":1.00},3000);

  • How do I select an image with motion blur so that I can put it onto a different background ?

    How do I overlay a image with motion blur on a white background (like the first image) onto a different background (to look like the second image)? any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks ,ed
    Message was edited by: motoredd

    I’m afraid you may have bitten off more than you might want to chew.
    The resulting pixels of an in-camera-blur combine information about the color/brightness of back- and foreground (edit: the result of surface properties and lighting conditions) with motion (basically transparency for this task) in such a way that it seems exceedingly difficult (maybe even improssible) to isolate the foreground in a »pure« form.
    One may get a halfway decent mask (as the backgound is at least almost uniform and brighter than the foreground elements) but you may have to manually decontaminate the transparent areas, otherwise the masked object in front of a dark background would have a bright edge.

  • How do I bend an image?

    Hey all - I searched and searched. How do I bend an image? I want to give it a 3d feel. If you take a piece of paper and make it do a U shape on a table (Touching the left and right edge only). And look down on it I want that effect. That's the best way i could explain it! THANKS EVERYONE!

    easy stuff. two ways to do it.
    1. make a square box and put it on layer #1
    2. Make a square box and put it on layer #2
    3. on layer #1 select the box and drag into it the sphere filter (under distortion I think) You will see that just the box is affected by the filter. hard to wirk with but it will work for different stuff. play with the settings in the filter inspector.
    Now that you have seen the filter on an object within a layer try this:
    1. Untick the check mark in layer #1 (turn it off you you cant see it on the canvas)
    2. apply the same filter to the entire layer by draging it into the "layer" box in your project payne. Make sure it is applied to the layer not the object on the layer.
    3. play with the radius, etc in the filter tab of your inspector and see a far more usable effect. The same apllies for most other effects and filters by applying to entire layers not just objects.
    Also now that you have created a sphere type layer ... add some text to the layer and you will see that the text wraps the same way for a real cool effect.
    Feel free to email me or I chat if I can help with these types of effects.

  • Is Java ME capable to edge detect images taken from phone camera??

    I need help with creating a working edge detection method. At the moment as it stands I have the edge detection algorithim and have transformend it into code but I cannot see why it keeps returning a blue screen, Can Anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and how to fix it::

    //......which in turn is equivalent to:

  • How do I use copyprofile, image manager and create a wim file to Sysprep a reference Windows 8 computer.

    Im trying to deploy a reference machine (configured) to other machines (exact or close image) with different hardware.
    I have successfully used sysprep in out of the box, generalise, shutdown mode although i havent tried to deploy this to another device.  Unfortunately it doesnt copy the profile to default.
    I understand that I have to create an answer file using image manager based on that image, save it to a usb drive and attach this in the sysprep command line when sysprepping it.
    My problem is I dont know how to easily capture an image of windows 8 into a wim file so that i can add this into image manager to create a answer file.  Im also not sure what I have to do in image manager, is it a simple matter of creating and saving
    the answer file or do i have to configure it to copy the profile specifically (theres only one account anyhow).
    I also want to know if i have to attach the drivers or are all the standard drivers put into the sysprep image as standard.  I would like the machine to be an exactly replica, same as doing a clone (but with the drivers for the new machine installed
    so it will boot) same as doing a clone and then repair? If thats possible.
    Any specific instructions on this would be helpful.  I have read the microsft links but they are somewhat confusing.

    I know this is a very late response but I thought I'd post for others who search.
    The easiest way to create the .wim file is via WinPE, this guy's two YouTube videos explain the entire process in detail -

    UNATTEND
    Open Windows System Image Manager

  • How do i make an image pause in a flash movie clip

    Please can someone help me. I am trying to find out how to pause or stop an image in a basic flash movie clip,  after it has entered from one side and before it exits the other side.
    I have been trying to work it out myself for three days but no joy. I am practicing  for a test with a training agency which gave me a disk to use but nowhere in it does it say how this is done. I am also having a lot of difficulty making stop start buttons work with this movie clip. I am using a trial cs5.5 version of Flash which expires in 7 days so i need to know this soon. I am up to speed on most of the features, its just this one thing that has me stumped. A lot of the tutorials or examples  i have found on the net are very long winded and hard to follow exactly. Could someone let me know, step by step the sequence i should follow after i have created an object  and made it go from one side of the stage to the other.

    Hi
    Thank you for getting back to me. Yes i am using a timeline tween. I have an image on my stage which moves in from one side and out the other side. I am trying to stop or pause the image. The effect i will be asked to reproduce in my exam will be something very much like the banner on the website http://www,iactweb.com. If you go to this website you will see images arrive on the banner and pause before exiting the other side. I am fairly up to speed on all the aspects of getting this effect but i have forgotten what i learned during the course on how stop or pause the images. I am using the trial cs5.5 version of flash . Thanks again for getting back to me.

  • How do I substract an image at the time t with an image at t-1 to detect move in a grab acquisition

    After the VI acquire in a grab acquisition, how do I substract an image at the time t with an image at t-1 to detect the movement in the scene?

    Hello,
    One way of doing that is to do a ring acquisition with two buffers. At anytime one of your buffers will be the most current frame and the other will be one before the most current. Having both buffers available at anytime in your code you can call IMAQ Subtract.
    Hope this helps!

  • How to make an icon image using Photoshop

    I found out how to do this recently so I decided that I wanted to make a tut for those who don't know how to make an icon image. This icon image is for the libraries tab on your computer. Under the libararies tab there is Music, Pictures, Documents, and Photos
    First you will need the ICO (Icon image format) Format extension for photoshop which can be downloaded here:
    http://www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/icoformat/trunk/dist/README.html
    The download link and tutorial on how to install it is all in the link above.
    Once you have that all set you can now launch photoshop to create your icon image. Once you have launched it, create a new document with the size as in the image below.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/256x256_zpsbf3dcf8e.png~original[/IMG]
    Create the image you want. I used a simple one by using the custom shape tool by pressing "U" on your keyboard and with the
    basic blending options.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/IconImage_zpsd788c709.png~original[/IMG]
    The reason why the image is pixelated is because it is an icon image. Since the image is only 256x256 pixels when you zoom in on it that will get you the pixely result. The reason why I zoomed  in is so you can see it. But don't worry this is no the end result. Just continue reading and you will see.
    So once you have created the icon go ahead and press
    file>save as>(under format choose the ICO)>and choose the name that you want to name it. And save it in your C: drive. You will see why to save it in your C: drive in a sec.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/SampleicoPic_zpsd252bfba.png~original[/IMG]
    So now that you have created the icon and saved it now you can create the new library.
    [IMG]http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag25/dusty951512/NewLibrary_zps8ca703b2.png~original[/IMG]
    Name the library whatever you want I named it "Sample" for tutorial purposes. Notice how it gives you a default boring icon image for your library.

    So now once you have created and named your library now it is time to get the icon image into place.
    Go to computer/c: Drive/users/YOU/ And now once you have reached this area you will need to access a hidden folder named "appdata" to do so press "Alt" then a menu bar will show. Click
    tools>folder options>and view. Find the option to view hidden folders then press apply then ok. Now we shall continue so AppData>Roaming>Microsoft>Windows>Libraries
    Now you should see all the libraries including the one you just created.

    Once you have reached your destination then open a new text document with notepad and drag the library you just created in notepad. The result should look like this:

    once you have reached this point click at the end of the second to last line down then press enter and enter in this information
    <iconReference>c:\"NAME OF ICO FILE YOU CREATED IN PS".ico</iconReference>
    Example:

    Once you have entered that information go to file>save and the icon image should appear on the library you created.

    It is Windows only because all those screen shots are exclusively Windows, the file structure and paths do not resemble those of the Mac in the least.  As a Mac user, there's nothing I could take from your tutorial.  Sorry, 
    No drives named with letters like C: on the Mac, for instance.  No backward slashes either, ever.  No such paths either.  No "Notepad" on the Mac, we use TextEdit; but such a text editor is not remotely needed on the Mac to make and/or edit icons.  Etc.
    Those folders are not even called "Libraries" on the Mac…  Nothing resembling your tutorial at all.
    The icons in the Finder's Sidebar are not customizable at all in recent version of OS X.

  • How do I copy an image from pdf file using preview?

    I've done this before from the same pdf file but can't remember how I did it.  Does anyone know?

    I tried that and heard the camera shutter go off now how do I retrieve the image?  Where is it on my computer?
    Where did you check?
    Screen shots are suppose to be saved on your desktop.  See KB Article:  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11229
    If that is not where there are going, do a manual search.  Check inside your Download folder for starters.

  • Java Application [Java Bundler]: how I can use an image? Which path?

    Hi,
    how I can use an image in my Java Application when I create the jar bundle with Jar Bundler? Which is the path of the file? I don't know if I got it across...

    By image, do you mean an icon for your program?
    If so, then you need to create the image you want using any graphical drawing program, then use a utility such as Img2icns to put the image into the correct format (.icns). Once you have this, you can drag it into Jar Bundler and IIRC it just works.

  • How do I spread one image across 2 pages?

    How do I spread one image across 2 pages?

    You can't with a single image, but you can "fake" it. Duplicate the image & then line up the two halves. It's easier if you are viewing facing pages two-up.

  • How do I display blob (image) in a Portal Report

    I am using 9ias 10222 and portal 30983 and I have a table that stores an image as a blob and have a varchar field to store the mime type. I have created a form to upload the image and can then query the form to display the image.
    How do I dislay the image in a Portal Report/Dynamic Page Component. I have followed note 68016.1 but the retrieve_img_data procedure does not work it gives a wwv-11230 error.
    Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Belinda

    Hi,
    Can you display what code you used for this? I followed note 172045.1 and everything compiles properly but when I run the report, I just get a box with a red X in it, like it is not finding the picture. I ran the procedure that downloads the image and it works fine from there. Thanks.

  • How can you use one image and edit it three different ways to export later?

    I am a new Lightroom 3 user.  How can use the same image and edit it multiple ways to produce mulitple images to later export?  For example,  I have a picture of a bride and groom.  I want to use that image and create a color image, a black and white image, and a close up of their hands.

    Do I need to do either of those options before I start editing the image at all?  For example,  what if I am working on the image and doing some creative edits.  Then I think of another option that I could do.  Is it too late at that time or can I still get the original image to begin with?
