How to mask photo with any shape except rectangle?

Can anyone tell me how to quick-mask photos using the button at the bottom of the window, but using a shape other than rectangle?

The masking IS vector masking, it's just only with rectangles. The masking that Pages and Keynote has is vector masking as well, only those programs have a function to Mask to Shape.
While iWeb doesn't have this function, if you copy a vector masked object from iWork, it will remain masked in iWeb.

I have a new Nikon D750 sitting on my desk and can't edit the photos with any adobe product? We are in full wedding season and am a little frustrated. Photo mechanics opens them right up to download them. I am using the Nikon software to convert them

I have a new Nikon D750 sitting on my desk and can't edit the photos with any adobe product? We are in full wedding season and am a little frustrated. Photo mechanics opens them right up to download them. I am using the Nikon software to convert them into tiffs. when is the camera raw update coming out. I am not the only photographer with this issue check out all the chatter about it.

This happens every single time a new camera comes out from one of the two big camera makers. Nikon and Canon do not send preproduction units to Adobe, so Adobe has to go out and buy a D750 or whatever from the store to test and profile it before they can update Lightroom. They can't get one earlier than you and I can. The profiling is quite an extensive operation. Other camera makers do send preproduction units, use dng, or do the profiling in-house and there you often get support right from release. If camera makers would finally embrace an open raw format such as dng, this whole problem would be gone but both Canon and Nikon seem to think they live in an upside-down world where their clients only use their software.
Usually the dead period only lasts a few weeks but it is frustrating nevertheless. My only advice is to not buy a new camera at the day of release and expect to have third parties to support it. You definitely should not be buying these cameras right away if your business depends on it. Aperture, Capture One, etc. have the exact same problem. No third party (read non-Nikon in this case) will support the camera from the release date. Some are quicker than other adding support. Adobe is somewhere in the middle of the pack in this respect. Nobody outside of Adobe knows when an update comes out. Could be tomorrow, could be a few more weeks or a month. They might jump straight to Lightroom 6 and never add direct support to LR 5. Sometimes they will first bring out a beta version of dng converter that will convert the new camera's nef files to dng, which will work fine in the current Lightroom before updating Lightroom itself.

I have a problem with my new ipad air 64g with cellular. When I off my ipad for a long period of time ( around 2 hours), my ipad air freeze. Nothing is showing on screen with any button except by pressing reboot (home on/off button)

I have a problem with my new ipad air 64g with cellular. When I off my ipad for a long period of time ( around 2 hours), my ipad air freeze. Nothing is showing on screen with any button except by pressing reboot (home on/off button). Anyone out there can help. Thanks.

I have a 64GB iPad Air WiFi+Cellular (Verizon), and I don't see the issues you are describing. First I would suggest that you update your iPad to the newest iOS update. If that doesn't help, then you may want to schedule an appointment at an Apple Genius Bar. If you go this route, I suggest that you let the iPad sleep for long enough for the problem to arise before you go to your appointment.

Masking images with custom shapes?

I made a custom shape, a rounded square with 2 regular corners, I want to mask an image into that shape. Any ideas how to do this? Or how to add my shape as a shape onto pages?
Thanks in advance!

Select both the shape and the image:
+Menu > Format > Mask with selected shape+
Or how to add my shape as a shape onto pages?
Can't add it to the shapes menu, just keep it in a template or a 'library' document to cut and paste.

How to share photos with multiple iPads

I am looking to share my photos with other family members who have iPads. How can I "publish" photos that will sync to multiple devices over WiFi? In other words, I want to push photos of my children to their grandparents (as simple as possible for the grandparents)

Wifi will only work if they are al on the same wireless network. An easier solution might be dropbox. You can post your pictures there, share the link with anyone who you want to see the pictures, and they can bring them onto their machines. This will work with family members who do not have pads, on any device that can acccess the web.
I believe you can set up an account for free.

How to take photos with the Webcam on HP Probook 450

Where do you find the icon for accessing the Webcam? I can access it by Skype, but surely there is a way of just accessing it via laptop? I want to take photos and save them.

My idea is using the flashlight permanently as kind of "studio light" to take Photos in macromode:
Is it possible to take photos with the iphone when the flashlight shines permanently?
When the light is permanently on, it would be great to take photos without flash in dark areas or in macromode.
Especially for medical documentation (Dermatology etc.).
I didn´t found any netsolution.
This could be an outstanding feature for many people.
How could this be possible? App-Solution?
kindly regards

How can I deal with the "throw exception"?

A function has the following definition:
import javax.naming.NamingException;
public BinRelation readBinRelation() throws BadInputDataException,IOException
When I use this function as follows:
BinRelation binRel;
binRel = readBinRelation();
then comes the error:
unreported exception javax.naming.NamingException; must be caught or declared to be thrown.
So how can use this function correctly?
Thanks

So how can use this function correctly?By learning what exceptions are, how they're used, and what you can do to deal with them. There's a tutorial here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/exceptions/index.htmlAnd here's a quick overview:
The base class for all exceptions is Throwable. Java provides Exception and Error that extend Throwable. RuntimeException (and many others) extend Exception.
RuntimeException and its descendants, and Error and its descendants, are called unchecked exceptions. Everything else is a checked exception.
If your method, or any method it calls, can throw a checked exception, then your method must either catch that exception, or declare that your method throws that exception. This way, when I call your method, I know at compile time what can possibly go wrong and I can decide whether to handle it or just bubble it up to my caller. Catching a given exception also catches all that exception's descendants. Declaring that you throw a given exception means that you might throw that exception or any of its descendants.
Unchecked exceptions (RuntimeException, Error, and their descendants) are not subject to those restrictions. Any method can throw any unchecked exception at any time without declaring it. This is because unchecked exceptions are either the sign of a coding error (RuntimeException), which is totally preventable and should be fixed rather than handled by the code that encounters it, or a problem in the VM, which in general can not be predicted or handled.

How to sync photo with flickr ?

I used to sync my photos between iphoto and flickr, and I can't find a way to sync from "photos" with flickr.
Any solutions ?
Thanks,
David

Sounds like in order to get those on the computer you might need to use an APP or 3rd party software to get them to the computer.
if you sync photos with itunes it will take them off and delete them because the photos are not on that computer anymore

How to print photo with Count Tool markers visible? [was: count tool question]

I am doing a lab report that requires me to count a large number of objects in a photo using the count tool, i need to print out that photo with the count markers visible to show the instructor, however i cant seem to be able to do that. is it possble. Thanks

I don't have a good answer for you, If you under a deadline to finish the project, you can always view the image at 100% and do a series of screen captures, then piece the image back together. Not the idea solution, but it should work.

How do I deny mounting any filesystems except my local Machintosh HD and attached XSAN volume in OSX?

Hi
I have a Mac attached to a XSAN filesystem that I want to deny the users mounting any filesystems except that of the local HD and Xsan. Basically I don't want them copying sensitive content off the XSan to their USB thumb-drives or external hard drives over USB or FireWIre.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Regards,
Chris

Physical access trumps all software security measures. If there is something on the drive they shouldn't see, it shouldn't be connected. I suggest creating an encripted disk image on the drive to store any sensitive files. You can create alises to files or folders on the image and when you double-click them, it will automatically mount the images. If you store the password in your keychain, it should fairly transparent.

How to create Icon with transparent shape inside

With just the book icon selected, release clipping mask. Select both items, Minus Front.
Is that what you did? What Illy version?
this is what I get, green rectangle was placed behind to see the "hole."

PSE7: Find all photos with any caption?

I'm running PSE7.
I have a sub-set of my images selected via a tag.
Now I want to find all of images in that set that have any caption at all.
So I do a Find/By Caption or Note.
Now in the next dialog box is there some way that I can enter a wild card or something
that will find any image that has anything in it at all?
Thanks for any help!

Ouch!!
Well, I understand the solution you described.
Let me back up a bit. And describe what I'm trying to accomplish.
I take a bunch of pictures and I bring them in Organizer.
I go through them quickly adding 'notes' to them.
Who the people are, where this is, etc. etc.
I just add them in the Caption because that is a single click in Organizer.
Very easy.
But I don't add captions to every image.
Later I go back and I want to add Text to these images in Editor.
Basically, I want to permanently include my 'notes' with these images.
So anytime someone views or prints the jpeg they are going to see my notes.
So my original question was how I can select that group of captioned images
in Organizer. Then I was going to Ctrl-i and get them all into Editor.
But maybe there is another way for me to select just those images?
In Organizer, it seems the only way I can 'see' the captions is when the image
is in 'Single Photo View'. Which is ok. But as far as I can tell, when I am in
Single Photo View I can't 'Select' that image. Maybe I'm missing something.
Anyway, if I could Select that image, then I would just move through the rest
of my images in Organizer. When I saw another captioned one I would want
to do the equivalent of Ctrl-click. Adding that image to the other images that
I have selected.
Well, that's the story. Is there another way I can skin this cat?
Thanks!

How to take photos with Android Charge

OK... here's my problem. I have an Android Charge and really love all its features....except one - the camera. I go to many concerts, sporting events, etc., and at every event I see other people with their cell phones taking crystal clear photos of the artists, yet when I try to take a photo (even if I am in the front row) the faces are blurred out and the photo is fuzzy. I've tried adjusting the setting, the focus, nearly every conceivable option there is but can't seem to find the right combination of settings that will allow me to take clear photos.
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong and how I can set up my camera to give me great photos?
Thank you so much.

Hey there tjackowski1!
I love going to concerts too! Loud music is kinda my thing. Regardelss, I know having a phone that takes great pictures is essential when sitting front row!
Now, you can find all the different settings here http://bit.ly/TPmzT6 for your Droid Charge. Different situations require different settings. For example, you would want a nice high resolution for a picture that you wanted detail on (face shots). But for a landscape, you could turn the resolution down if needed. I would recommend for concerts to use the anti-shake setting to make sure that you are able to get a clear picture. You also might want to use the Party/Indoor Scene mode to get better preset settings for your device. I would try a few out on the opening act to see how they look and to get set for the main performance! *smiles*
I also might want you to look at your case. Sometimes, non-Verizon Wireless cases can hinder the flash or lens for photos. I have seen this before getting a bright pink hue over a picture with a flash from a pink case. So please check this.
Does it take photos well when not in the dark in a concert? Please let us know if it's only in the dark that you have problems or it's elsewhere. Thanks!
