How To Perform The Same Edit And Crop To Multiple Images?

On just one image this would be a no brainer, I'd just use the paint brush or similar tool to wipe over a section I want covered and use the crop tool to get the image size and position I'm after. The thing is though, I'd like to do the same edit and crop to a series of photos to keep them all consistent and it's beyond me how to do that in PS5. When I look at help I find tips on using scripts, batch processing or stacking images that seem to defy the English language and don't address the two simple little things I want to do to these images.
Can anyone explain, or point me to a resource, that could help me accomplish what I'd like to think should be a simple task for such an expensive program?
Greg

You could use a "clipper" document to isolate the globe in each image.
Create a clipper doc which is the size of the images in the globe series and which contains only a layer with a silhouette of the globe surrounded by transparency.
Make an Action which will copy the current image and close it, paste into the already open clipper doc, clip that image layer to the silhouette layer, crop/trim, export a file then revert the clipper doc to its initial state of just the silhouette ready for processing the next image in the batch. For example:
1. Select All
2. Copy
3. Close
4. Paste
5. Create Clipping Mask
6. Trim based on transparent pixels
7. Save As
8. Revert
Open the clipper doc then set up Batch so the output files are named with a serial number.

  • How to retain the same resolution while croping a tiff image using jai api

    Hi all,
    I have designed a program to crop a tiff image.But after croping the tiff,the resultant file resolution is not the same as the original source file.
    In the program,the source file Nadeshiko_v1_02.tif has the resolution(X) of 1200 DPI and resolution(Y) has 1200 DPI pixels.
    But after croping the resolution of output file is 100 DPI.
    Please give me some idea on how to retain the same resolution.

  • Applying the same layers and effects to different images

    I have images of a cube that are different colors, but same
    dimensions. I import one by one onto my stage in Flash CS3 and then
    apply some alpha lighting and glow effects. There has got to be a
    more efficient way to do apply the same effects over and over
    instead of how I'm doing it now which seems very tedious?? I'm
    looking for a similar process like Photoshop where you can drag
    layers to different canvases...
    thanks

    Are you using Filters? If so, there's a "Copy..." button in
    the Filters panel - copy first effect -
    paste it to additional Movie Clip symbols.

  • How to use the same mask, stencil, etc., for multiple layers? Photoshop equivalent of masked group?

    Hi I spent more than half an hour to search manual, forums, and Internet and still can't find the answer. Please help!
    For example, in a comp with 5 or more layers I want to use the same mask or stencil or what ever can hide areas of the layers 2,3, and 4 but layer 5 and any other eventual layers below should not be affected.

    Pre-compose the layers you want to mask and apply a track matte to the pre-comp using the mask. Think of pre-composing as an equivalent of creating a layer group.
    Use Set Matte effect on each of the layers you want to mask. This is easiest to do if you apply set matte once and then create an animation preset to apply to the other layers. Just get set matte to do what you want it to do on the first layer, Select Set matte in the ECW or in the Timeline, then go to Animation>Save animation preset. Then select all of the other layers you want to apply the set matte to and apply the preset.
    Put the mask at the bottom of the layers you want to mask and enable the preserve transparency switch, then nest this group in the composition with the other layers.
    Here's another tip. You could define a custom color for all of the layers you want to use the matt on, then use the custom color for a group selection. This may make things easier down the line.

  • How to stream the same VIDEO from iTunes to multiple Apple TVs simultaneously?

    I'm trying to stream the same video/movie from iTunes 10.5.2 under Mac OS X 10.7.2 to 2 Apple TVs simultaneously so that they are in sync. We have 2 TVs in our cafe and are trying to send the pre-service video announcements to both screen wirelessly.
    Audio is no problem as I just choose the Multiple Speakers option on the AirPlay icon at the bottom right of iTunes. However, when I choose a video, the Multiple option is not available. I know I can go into the Apple TV menu and choose the video from my Mac that has Home Sharing activated but it is virtually impossible to get the videos synced on both screens.
    Is there something I'm missing or is a 3rd party application available that will do this?
    Please read what I'm trying to do carefully before responding.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I'm also struggling with this.  I have a Mac Mini and 5 ATV2's that I want to stream video content to simultaneously.

  • Two users on same computer how to use the same program and data

    Two users on one computer how to share a program and it's data

    As Kappy said, each of you should have your own account. By default all programs are installed in the Applications folder so all users on the computer will be able to use the software. With a few restrictions data you want to share between two users can be placed inside the Shared folder - look inside the Users folder for it. Data that gets placed in the Shared folder will retain the owner/creator's rights so if you want other user(s) to be able to do more than open the document you'll need to change the permissions of the file to include that user.

  • How to Add the Same Component to a JPanel Multiple Times

    I have a simple JPanel with BorderLayout as manager. I created a JLabel and added it to all of the areas except center. But the JLabel shows up only in the area to which JLabel was added last. WHY?
    Any help is appreciated!

    What you need to do is make a class extending JLabel:class myLabel extends JLabel

    }then you can make as many instances of it as you want
    eg:myLabel label1 = new myLabel();
    myLabel label2 = new myLabel();

  • I have 3 different accounts and passwords for Apple. 1 for iTunes, 1 for iCloud, and 1 for my iCloud email. It is annoying to remember these 3 different usernames and passwords. Can I make all 3 accounts the same username and password?

    No.  Apple will not merge Apple IDs, and you can't use the same username and password for multiple IDs.

    You could create an applescript to do it.
    tell application "Dreamweaver's Full Name"
    activate
    end tell
    tell application "BBEdit's Full Name"
    activate
    end tell
    tell application "Acrobat's Full Name"
    activate
    end tell
    Replace the quoted text (leaving the quotes) with the full name of the application, and save the applescript as an application bundle, and put it in your dock.
    NOTE: You may have to put the full path to the application for it to work (I.E. /Applications/Dreamweaver.app). If you do, encase the full path in quotes.
    Good luck!

    This recently happened to me.  I am a novice, but it seemed like that project got corrupted some how.
    I deleted it.
    Went to time machine and picked it up again when I knew it was working ok.
    I lost a few hours of work, but not the entire project.
    Once I had the project back from time machine, it worked fine (but like I said, I lost a little bit of work).

    Only way to get iMac starting again was to re-install 10.4.4 from DVD, and then update it into 10.4.6. For a while it worked perfectly, just as before.
    Then I tried to print to CD with my EPSON Stylus Photo 950 from Adobe Photoshop Elements (2.0). It didn't print anything, but printer started flashing all lights. The print job was not performed, so I did remove it from the Printer Utility. After that the iMac started "ticking" again, same noise than before, after 10.4.7 installation. I did re-boot iMac. It never started, it does stuck on gray screen (gray block running clockwise). HW test from DVD didn't find any problems (extended search looping 3 times). But Disk Utility found hard drive to have inaccurate node structure, it could not fix it.
    Apple support recommended to use DiskWarrior. However, it does not support (yet) Intel Macs. I haven't got TechTool Pro 4.5.1 anywhere. iMac does start on to FireWire mode (T at boot), but I cannot see the disk from 10.2.8 iMac.
    So, obvisously the problem is not 10.4.7. I believe it to be ESPON printer driver compatibility on Mac OSX. This does not suprise me, EPSON printers *****, I shall never purchase one again. However, disk catalog structure should not get messed by one faulty printer driver!

  • How to Use the same iview for both KM End User and the KM Administrator

    Hi friends,
    *This is my scenario :* How to Use the same iview for both KM End User and the KM Administrator but with different Context
    Menu Options.
    i followed these steps but im getting same context menu for both KM End User and the KM Administrator .
    Assign the role Content Administrator to the user km_admin. This is needed so that km_admin can change
    the presentation settings for the KM Folder u201EReports_kmFolder‟.
    Now, login with user km_admin. Navigate to the Km Folder reports_kmFolder through Content Administration
    -> Km Content. Click on Details link of the folder reports_kmFolder.
    Go To Settings -> Presentation. Click on the tab u201ESettings for You‟-> Click on button u201ESelect Profile‟.
    Select the radio button corresponding to u201Elayout Set‟, and choose u201EConsumerExplorer‟ from the dropdown.
    Click u201EOK‟.
    Select both the check boxes corresponding to Items Affected as shown above, and click u201ESave‟
    Now, remove the u201ESuper Administrator‟ role from the user km_admin and login with this user.
    How rto resolve this????
    Regards,
    Prasad.

    Hello Prasad,
    Most likely the user km_admin still has system principal roles assigned, even though you removed the Super Admin role, you should check that this user doesn't have any other admin roles, otherwise it will be considered a System Principal user and will therefore still have access to all content. For more information see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/19/56f28fbd4e11d5993b00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm
    Try creating a new user with just read access to the content and you should see that it will not be able to make any changes etc.
    Regards,
    Lorcan.
