How to place multiple images of hand paintings with drop shadow effects on room backgrounds?

I want to place multiple images of hand paintings with drop shadow effects on room backgrounds to make them look as if the paintings are hanged on the room walls. I know how to do it one by one, but that takes time and I want to do it in batch at once.
I am quite a beginner for adobe photoshop CS6. I belive such an automated task is possible through 'Automated Batch' function and/or 'Create Droplet' function. Kindly share your expert opinion.

If you want to go with Batch I would recommend creating an Action of more or less these steps:
• set the resolution to the same as the background image’s
• change the image from Background Layer to regular Layer if necessary
• convert it to a Smart Object
• add a Drop Shadow Layer Style to the image (do not use Global Angle)
• place the background image (File > Place …)
• move it behind the image layer
• Image > Reveal All
• make Selection from that layer’s transparency (cmd-click its icon in the Layers Panel) and use Image > Crop
• select and transform the image layer to fit the intended position
This would naturally work out best if the images had the same size and proportions.
For the reflection on the floor duplicate the image, flip it vertically, move it in position and reduce its opacity to maybe 10%.
Realistically you may have to hide it partially behind the pillows, a Vector Mask would be an option.

  • How to place multiple images?

    Hi,
    How to place multiple images?
    Regards,
    Learner

    Is the script creating the frames? If so, just assign each frame a
    variable, or make them all into an array. Then use something like:
    myFrame.place("aFile");
    If the script is not creating the frame, then are they live frames on
    the page, or are they actually on a master page?
    If they're on master spreads, you'll have to release them to the page
    you want. (I think it's myMasterFrame.override(myPage) where myPage is
    the live page you want to detach them on, but you'll have to double
    check that.)
    But presuming they're regular detached frames on a page, if you want
    your script to figure out which is the first and which is the second you
    can either use script labels in the UI and then search for the script
    label, or else you'll have to write a function that will get all
    rectangles on the page (myPage.rectangles.everyItem().getElements() and
    either do a clever javascript sort, or write a straightforward function
    to sort them by height and x-pos.
    Hope that sheds some light on the task ahead!

  • How can a transparent stage have round corners and drop shadow?

    Hi,
    This is actually 2 questions:
    1- How can a transparent stage have background corners?
    I've tried doing this:
    .rootPane
    -fx-border-radius: 4 4 4 4;
    -fx-background-radius: 4 4 4 4;
    -fx-border-color: gray;
    -fx-border-style: solid;
    -fx-border-width: 1;
    -fx-background-image: url("resource/clean_textile.png");
    And make the root of the scene have the ".rootPane" style class.
    But it sometimes shows some visual artifacts on the corners. Am I doing it wrong? is this a bug?
    2 - How can a transparent stage show the windows 7 drop shadow effect of windows? Is it possible?

    How can a transparent stage have background corners?Yes, this is a possible.
    There are a few of tricks and you need all of them:
    1. StageStyle must be transparent:
    new Stage(StageStyle.TRANSPARENT);2. Scene fill must also be transparent:
    new Scene(root, Color.TRANSPARENT);3. Color the background:
    -fx-background-color: derive(cadetblue, -20%); 4. You need to apply the dropshadow effect to the background region.
    -fx-effect: dropshadow(three-pass-box, derive(cadetblue, -20%), 10, 0, 4, 4); 5. You need to inset the background in the region which has the dropshadow so that the shadow will be visible within the Stage and not clipped out of the stage bounds.
    -fx-background-insets: 12; 6. You need to apply a radius to the background to round it's corners.
    -fx-background-radius: 6;Here is a sample in this gist revision =>

    How can a transparent stage show the windows 7 drop shadow effect of windows? Is it possible?You can kind of approximate it using the above techniques, but I don't think you will be able to get an exact match without something like: http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-18936 "Enable aero-style glass transparencies" (and probably additional JavaFX platform support as well) being implemented.

  • How to have multiple images on the same screen? like in the movies where you see several actions at

    how to have multiple images on the same screen? like in the movies where you see several actions at the same time ....
    i don't find  a tutorial in adobe tv....
    thanks !!

    The short answer is that you'll put the source clip(s) for each inset on a different video track, all stacked up. Then use the Scale and Position effects (under "Motion" on the Effect Controls panel) to reduce their size and place them where you want.
    If the content of an inset will involve edited content (where you're cutting among various clips or just trimming out unwanted content from a single clip), then you'll probably find it easier to do all those edits in one sequence, then nest that sequence in the master sequence, where you apply the Scale and Positioning effects. That will save the step of applying the scale and position effects to each edited track item.

  • How to place an image onto each page

    Hi !
    How do I place an image onto each page (like a logo in a sidebar) using Pages 5.5 ?
    Thanks,
    Karsten

    Karsten,
    I am surprised no one has answered you yet - there are so many Pages users here.
    I am not a Pages user but I did find one way here on this thread in an answer from Arno Jannarelly
    insert image to header in Pages, template header
    "If you want any layout item to be repeated to all of the pages of your document, you just have to select the item(s), then go to Arrange/Section Masters/Move Object to Section Master.
    The good thing of this is that you can repeat any item or group of items placed anywhere you want on the page."
    Now when I first tried it I had no luck, until I selected the image and went to Arrange > Section Masters from the main menu, not on the right hand side from the Format/Document area.  
    From there there is an option: Move Object to Section Master.
    You then can format your image with drop shadows, opacity, etc. and it should be there on new pages in Pages.

    Hi,
    You can pass the image url as a href attribute=> file:///Users/me/Documents/my_pic.jpg directly within your xml. It just needs that you pass a local, static and valid url.
    If you want to add image later once the xml is flowed and so target specific nodes and inject images, it's a bit more complex. If the node is not part of the layout, you may try to reach the XMLElement objet and such an attribute, then layout the element.
    var x = some XMLElement
    x.xmlAttributes.add("href","file:///Users/m/Documents/my_pic.jpg" );
    If already placed, then you have to get the associated pageItem, then place your file into it.
    pagItm.place ( File ( "/Users/m/Documents/my_pic.jpg" ) );
    Hope that helps,

  • How to resize multiple images?

    I am newbie to RH and would like to know if there is a method /shortcut by which I can resize multiple images?
    Specifically to my project: I have close to 50 tables containing various images and their descriptions. When I insert these images into RH, the original image size is inserted and these images are of various sizes.
    I know how to resize multiple images in Word but not in RH and hence, reaching to higher powers
    I am using RH 9
    Appreciate all your help!

    Hi There, Well the best option is to resize each image individually but if you feel that you can select all images together and the  resize them all at once I am sure that you would like to give a read to this post from forums which talks about this job

  • Drag and drop or place multiple images

    Hi,
    I'm working with Photoshop Elements 12 and would like to place multiple images (on different layers) in my project but am only able to place one image with the option "place" at a time. Is there a way to place multiple images at once?
    Other option that works in Photoshop is drag and drop mutliple files from my finder window (I'm a MAC user) into the open project. This would create multiple new layers with the imported files. This doesn't work for me with Photoshop Elements 12. When I drag and drop, new projects are created with the imported files.
    Hope someone has an answer for this. Thanks!

    Thanks LarryHN thats helpful. I've just tried that and the export 'current' option does indeed re-create the edited photo file with exactly the same file size at that shown in iPhoto. I did consider the 'current' option but was put off by the loss of the metadata with this option. But maybe the old drag and drop approach was the same?
    It's curious that the resulting file size from 'export, current' is different (larger in the example I just tried) in comparison to that resulting from 'export, jpeg' (with either the medium or high option selected).
    OK there seems to be a couple of reasonable options available although neither is as nice as the simple 'drag and drop' which used to be available!!! Why would they remove that option?? (and yet not for single files?).
    Thanks

  • How to place an image in JFrame

    hello
    i want to know how to place a image on JFrame
    i am not using any layout..
    pls help..

    Hi...
    To do this, u can look to tweak the paintComponent() method . All u have to do is create a JPanel subclass and override the paintComponent method to draw the image. then set it as the frame's content pane. that is because you work only on the content pane in swing. that should help.
    Source for ImagePanel :
    <code>
    package com.rsramanujam.help;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.image.*;
    public class ImagePanel extends JPanel
         Image backImage = null;
         public ImagePanel(Image backImage)
              try
                   this.backImage = backImage;
              catch(Exception e)
                   System.out.println("Could not get Image");
         public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
              Graphics innerG = g.create();
              if(backImage == null)
                   innerG.setColor(new Color(0xffccccff));
                   innerG.fill3DRect(0,0,getSize().width,getSize().height,true);
              else
                   innerG.drawImage(backImage,0,0,getSize().width,getSize().height,this);
         public void setBackImage(String path)
              ImageIcon ic = new ImageIcon(path);
              this.backImage = ic.getImage();
              repaint();
    </code>
    U can see a working example at http://www.geocities.com/ramanujam_off/java.
    There , download the app called RamHelp. It comes with a GUI that uses panels with Background Images.
