Use the Crop tool.
Thanks Appleman, but the crop tool, cut off parts of the picture.
To illustrate my problem, I have a picture & this picture consist of one face. So, this face covers the whole screen. But what I want to do is still to have the whole face but NOT covering the whole screen as I need some other spaces to put in text (I do not want to overlay the text across the face).
Ay ideas ?
Thanks

    Hi Miron,
    You are best off taking the image into Preview or Photoshop and resizing it to match your framesize. You could use a button and resize that but it is not economical or pretty.

  • How to resize a picture to letterhead sized

    How do i resize a picture to letter head size in cs4?

    Image>Image size.
    Then in the image size dialog box type in the document size.
    The quality of the print will be dependant of the original pixel dimentions. The lower the pixel dimentions are the lower the quality will be when resizing. It is prefered to have the original image be larger than the final print size when you first open the image. But upscaling can work and has but only if there is enough detail that will be satisfactory to you after you scale the image.

  • How to Resize a picture

    hi
    I am using web cam acquiring image using lab view. i want to reduce the size of the picture before saving it .currently the size of the iamge is 300*200. i want to save it in smaller size becaz iwill be displaying this image on mobile and that require small pictures.any idea how to do it in labview.

    Attached is a VI which resizes a 2D array (7.0) . It was designed to resize pictures and for pictures of your size it should be fast enough. I don't think webcams use 24 bit color, so you may have to make some modifications. Also, it doesn't do any "clever" stuff like averaging color values. It just takes some of the elements from the original, which seems to be good enough.
    From what I saw, this VI gets slow when handling large arrays (I saw about a second for a 2800x1500). Does anyone have any optimizations ideas? I know that when windows creates thumbnails it also takes time, so I'm not too optimistic.

    Perhaps it would be helpful to explain what it is you are trying to accomplish.
    Is it that you are trying to save drive space and want to reduce the file size of the photos? Or is it that you need to send the photos somewhere (upload, email, etc.) and again the file size is an issue? Or is it that you want to make a print and need to know how to print it out in the size you want:? Or do they simply look to big on your screen and you want to display them smaller?

    Thanks Patrick,
    My purpose is to edit the picture so that I bring them into iMovie09.
    When I placed them into iMovie09, they simply look to big on the screen and I need it to display smaller

  • How to avoid Moire Effects (jiggered still pictures) using iM and iDVD.

    This is a discussion going on forever and forever in this forum. I had the problem of bad looking slideshows myself, and I am hearing the same tips over and over again that just don't work. This is what I found out on how to avoid moire effects in your still images, when you want to edit a slideshow using iMovie - and I personally think, this explanation makes a lot of sense.
    Try it on your own and you will have had the last bad looking still image slidehow on the TV screen ever!! Here we go:
    Like everybody here I am talking about the process of creating a slideshow incuding movie strips in iMovie to get as a final result a DVD with menus and such using iDVD.
    And the common problem with stills and iMovie 5.02 are the so called jiggered pictures iMovie creates. Call it a moire effect, if you'd like.
    Whenever full resolution still images are importet from iPhoto into iMovie, the quality that iMovie will spit out in the end is disgusting. Period. Just disgusting.
    It has nothing to do with that iMovie does not display it properly on the Monitor or we are just in preview mode - the results are bad there and will be bad (maybe even worse) on the TV screen.
    There is no SIGNIFICANT difference between wether the pictures are imported with KB on or off, whether they are imported as still frames or as video clips using iMovie "import" function. iMovie can treat the color fairly bad, overprocesses the pictures and - worst of all, the moiree effects you will see in the endresult are just very very bad. It is worse when the pictures are panning a lot (KB).. This is true for every picture containing a lot of detail (Trees, Forests, horizontol lines (stairs) etc.) - not so bad for closeup face shots, unless that person is really old
    There is no SIGNIFICANT difference on the result by how the iMovie project is fed into iDVD. When the movie is sent to iDVD using the iM command "send to..." the quality is worse (and you let iM render when it asks) than if the movie is dragged into the iDVD window - but again, the difference is not significant. The result will suck. The DVD will also look bad, when the iMovie is exported has high res quicktime first, before imported into iDVD. Again, its slightly better that way, but not significant.
    Whenever a slideshow is created in iPhoto and than exported to iDVD (or via being a quicktime movie through iMovie into iDVD) the result will be however stunning. But that totally defeats the purpose of iMovie and the degree of freedom of designing slidehows in a very appealing manner.....
    The problem I think lies in how iMovie processes still images. And this is not a bug, but more of a mathematical/programmatical problem. iMovie has to REDUCE THE RESOLUTION of your still. A 2000x3000 pixel image @ 300 dpi(roughly the dimensions of a 6 MP image) has to be downsized to a TV image (NTSC or PAL, whichever) which has a resolution of approximately 480x640. HD is accordingly higher. The amount of pixels has to be reduced. iMovie can do that. NOT GOOD. But it can. The problem starts when the picture is panning around (KB). iMovie makes a let us say 5 second movie @ 30 fps out of one still image. Almost every frame will be slightly different from the previous one due to the used KB effect. So, the routine of iMovie does this downsize calculation for each single frame - and it removes each time different pixels from the still image, due to a slightly different source still image. Got it?
    Now, when you look on how moiree effects occur (which is some weired math in it's own) than it makes sense, that we see all this jiggereing in horizontol lines of high res. patterns.
    I found that if I reduce the size of each image in Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) prior to importing it into iMovie, the quality of the final product that iMovie and subsequently iDVD spits out in the end is AMAZING (reduce the dpi to approx. 72, so the image resolution is roughly 480x640). This is not a difficult process, because both programms (PS and PSE) handle BATCH PROCESSING. Just let the Mac work for a couple of hours or so.... its WORTH IT (and don't forget to make copies of the high res originals beforehand... :D).
    (before you resize, find out about how to properly resize and rescale an image!!!!)
    I am slightly annoyed that I found that out after producing a long long long long and really good slightshow, that is watchable but looks REALLY cheasy and cheap).
    I hope this helps out.

    I agree that iMovie's still image quality is embarassingly bad and has many bugs.
    Even with no Ken Burns, the sharp images tend to flicker on a TV because iMovie doesn't blur them properly.
    And as you very well described, iMovie's Ken Burns produces uneasy zooms/pans because the subpixel rendering is, uh, suboptimal.
    iMovie's immortal rendering bug when exporting non-Ken Burns'ed images to iDVD/tape doesn't make things any better.
    Yes, bicubically downsampling the input images to 640x480 or adding gaussian blur to the megapixel input images takes care of the flicker and uneasy zooms/pans, but as a side-effect the maximal zoom-ins are then TOO blurry.
    The best workaround is to use Photo To Movie's higher quality export setting. It has the best quality rendering engine (I recently compared it to Still Life and FotoMagico). Disclaimer: I'm just a satisfied customer of Photo To Movie.

    Your head cutout must beon a transparent background, flattened when saved out of PS and the imported image must have a properly-interpretted alpha.

  • How can I export a still picture from a video clip?

    How can I export a still picture from a video clip?

    I'm able to export stills from iMovie without anything extra. I create a new project - call it Exports say. Now, in your event clip with the frames you want as stills, select a single frame and drag it into your project. Repeat for other stills you want to export. Then choose Share -> Export Using QuickTime.
    In the pop-up, choose Movie to Image Sequence. Click Options and choose the image format you want. Playing with the number of stills lets you pick how many stills you want from each second of video. Hit OK and the stills will be generated in the directory you choose.
    I've only done this with HD video. Don't know how well it works with lower res, interlaced vid.
