How to selectively lighten/darken an image

Good afternoon, I e-mailed this yesterday, however I didn't get a responce.   When I am in the develop mode, and I want to darken, or lighten the background, or the fore ground, or anything in the picture. Do I use the Radial Filter, or the adjustment Brush? Can you please tell me how to use both of these tools?

A sub-folder is just a folder within another folder. So you are just creating a new folder inside of an already existing folder. If you want to do this in Lightroom, go to the Folders panel in the Library module. Highlight the folder you want to be the parent (the folder you want the sub-folder to be within), click the Plus button in the upper right of the Folders panel (to the right of the Folders title) and choose "Add Subfolder".

  • How to select area of an image in a ScrollingImagePanel ?

    Hello! In my aplication i need to crop an image. My crop method works well, but i don't know how to select the area using mouse. The image is in a ScrollingImagePanel. If you can help me ...
    Thanks for your atention !

    The art is so simple to recreate in Ai if it took you more than fifteen minutes I would be surprised. Easy enough to make the house and then and the path to be filled as the shaped color field it sits on, us the pen tool or use the shape tools and the pathfinder.
    The typ is easy enough with the text tool.

  • How to select and edit background images in templates?

    I open a template in pages ('elegant brochure' for example) and there is a background image that takes up the entire background of the page. When I click on the image, instead of being surrounded by the 6 little circles (that allow resizing) there are little x's. I can't move or change the image. I thought this was a master object, but it does not have blue circles, and I have 'master objects selectable'. I find it a little annoying that I want to use a prepared template but edit it beyond what apple gives me. Why can't I have more control (short of making a template from scratch)? How do i edit the images that have x's surrounding them?

    easiz,
    The x's indicate that it's a locked object. Click on Arrange > Unlock to edit it.

  • How to select multiple in-line images

    Is there any way to select more than one in-line image at the same time so that transformations and object styles can be applied in bulk rather than individually?

    A Find/Change might speed it up using the Object interface.

  • How to select frame content (image) VBS

    ThisPage = DOC.ActivePage

    I'm trying to select the frames content (which is an image) to determine if the image's geometric bounds exceed the size of it parent frame geometric bounds.
    That's the snippet I have so far. I just need help with the sub-selection and obtaining it's bounds. I know how to calculate the rest.

    are you sure that your code works ? ;)
    should be:
    Set myInDi = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS2")
    Set myDoc = myInDi.ActiveDocument
    set ThisPage = myInDi.ActiveWindow.ActivePage
    set PlacedImage = ThisPage.Place("C:\Ancient\The Lab.EPS")

  • How do I lighten or remove dark/black images or layers in Photoshop CS5?

    For several months, I have been trying to find the best ways to reduce the excessive amount of toner that is required to print many pdf documents in black and white, or even grayscale.  I use Leanprint but it can still leave pages of dark and black images.    
    Several Adobe Acrobat X posts say to use Photoshop to remove black graphics and/or reduce the darkness of images.  However, they give no further information about what to do in Photoshop.  I am not a simpleton but I know very little about Photoshop other than that there are probably several ways to accomplish this, depending on the circumstances.  I dread having to spend more hours trying to figure out what is the best option to use in each specific situation.
    It is puzzling that it has been so difficult to find the information needed, especially since many other people would like this information as well.
    I hope that someone can advise me or just point me to some directions and resources  as places to start.   Even knowing the best search terms to find this information could be useful.
    Thank you for any assistance.
    Cathy

    Ok, something to keep in mind with CS5 photoshop any change of its brightness and or contrast usually is considered a permanent change.
    However if your image is a camera raw file (straight from the camera in its native raw format) a tiff or a jpg, you can and should open the file in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) as any edits done in ACR are non-destructible in that any changes made can be changed or reset at any later time in the future as it does not alter the image it self, but applies the edits to the metadata.
    That said, it means in order for a program to see those changes it needs the ability to read the metadata, which not all programs can do.
    In ACR you will find a contrast slider, by decreasing the contrast the image will become lighter. You can also increase the highlights or whites and you can decrease the shadows or blacks. This effectively is similar to lowering the contrast, but because it is an additional step, you can do all three sliders effectively reducing the contrast even further than you would be moving the contrast slider by itself.
    Since this is a metadata alteration, this change you made can be applied to a folder full of images that are the same formats I mentioned above, or you can select a group of images in bridge and apply to just the selected group.
    At any time in the future you can remove the edits should you need to use the original image once again.

  • How to select entire PDF document (scanned image content) and then edit?

    I have a PDF file of a booklet that was created by scanning the pages as images. Whoever did the job aligned everything nicely, but for some reason ended up with an output where the pages are all too dark. The white parts of the pages are gray. I can go into the Advanced Editing toolbar and use the tool on the far right, right click the page and choose Select All, then Edit Image and it opens in Photoshop. There, I just change the brightness/contrast and save it. Then when I go back to the PDF the page looks great. Problem is, it only does one page at a time under the "Select All" option, and the booklet has more than 40 pages. Is there a way to select all the pages then edit them in Photosop all at once somehow?

    I tried the other things suggested, but they didn't work, either. I ended up creating a new document and copying all of the text into the new document where it can be selected like normal. Go figure...

  • How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer?  I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.

    How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer?  I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.
    Or how does Premiere 11 determine where to set the image for the video it is exporting? 
    I already know how to use Freeze frame and save the image to my computer by Publish+Share/Computer/ Immage.
    Thanks,

    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. We are all visitors here.
    Just a bit of history....back in the days of Premiere Elements 4, you could set a "poster frame" in what was called the Project area. You did this by right clicking a blank area there and, from the drop down menu that appeared, selecting View/Preview Area, and using the poster frame feature there.
    As I said, when a video imports into Premiere Elements, the thumbnail of the import has been presenting as the first frame of the video. With this Preview area "poster frame" option, you could set the video's thumbnail in the Project area so that the first frame was another frame in the video. But, this "perk" was restricted to thumbnails of the video in Project area.
    If you exported to file with the first frame modified video, the export's thumbnail in Windows Explorer would present with other than the real first frame or the poster frame as the first frame.
    Also, in more recent versions, I have observed that the export to file does not display the real first frame of the video in Windows Explorer. Seems random, but I have not kept track.
    And, remember, at the onset I wrote
    As far as I have ever seen, Premiere Elements Windows uses the first frame of the video for its thumbnail in the program.
    I know of no way within Premiere Elements to control what the program opts to do in this matter. In some compatibility
    issues, it opts to give no image but a generic one.
    I did not say that you can expect to have the Premiere Elements' export file's thumbnail in Windows displaying with its real first frame. And, the more you get into this, depending on the versions, more details need to be added to my comment about "...first frame of video for its thumbnail in the program..."
    I would have to look into all this further to get perspective on the contributing factors.

    Add On...The Poster Frame feature appeared in versions 4, 7, 8, and 9 by my count.

  • How to populate a page with images in across/down direction?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to populate a page with images in across and down direction (for example 6 X 6 )? It seems that I cannot use data table because records are only running downward and each row can have one record.
    Any suggestion would be appreciated. thanks.

    Alex,
    You can create your own tabular form using APEX_ITEM API's
    Create report and you can put similar code to following
    SELECT APEX_ITEM.TEXT(1,col1) pk1, APEX_ITEM.TEXT(2,col2) pk2 FROM your_tableSo data will be displayed in TEXT boxes as if it's a tabular form. Now you need to handle INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE processes manually. You can easily handle INSERT and DELETE. But handling UPDATE can be a nightmare. What if user has updated both the column values?
    Updated details
    One way out would be to use ROWID as Primary key to handle DELETE and UPDATE
    SELECT APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,ROWID) tick, APEX_ITEM.TEXT(2,col1) pk1, APEX_ITEM.TEXT(3,col2) pk2 FROM your_tablebut yet I suggest to go for proper primary key..

  • How do I create a disk image for windows 7, using a windows computer for USB bootcamp for mac?

    Hi There, I have just bought a new 2013 iMac.
    Spec: 3.4 GHz intel core i5, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Memory , NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB Graphics with OS X 10.9.4.
    How can I create a 'disk image' from a windows 7 professional 64bit installation DVD using a windows laptop with windows 7 Operating system on? I want to transfer this 'disk image' (ISO?) to a USB ready for installing windows onto my 2013 iMac using bootcamp?  I want to use bootcamp from a USB as I have no disk drive for the installation DVD on my iMac. I hope all this is clear.
    Thank you. Joe

    Yes, that's correct, at least not directly. You can create a blank disk image, copy the file to the mounted disk image, then burn the image to a CD/DVD.
    Open Disk Utility and select Blank Disk Image from the New menu. Provide a name, Save location, and select the image size from the drop down menu. Leave Encryptions at None and Format as read/write. Click on the Create button.
    After the image file appears the "removable" disk should be automatically mounted. If not double-click on it to mount it. A "removable" disk icon will appear. Drag the file you want to place on the disk image to the "removable" disk icon. The eject the "removable" disk icon. Now select the disk image file in the DU left side list and click on the Burn icon in the DU toolbar. Be sure to have a blank disc ready.
    The above is actually the "long" way to do this. A much easier way is to simply insert a blank CD or DVD into the optical drive. The Finder will pop up a dialog asking what to do. Select the option to mount on the Desktop. You will now see a disc icon on the Desktop. Drag the file you want to burn to the CD/DVD, right-click or CTRL-click on the disc icon and select Burn from the contextual menu.

  • How can I exchange all the images in a slide show with new ones

    I have 18 slide shows each is a different competition for our camera club. How can I exchange all the images from each slide show with new images as our club competitions commence? I am reluctant to just delete the slide show because I will have set it all back up. I want to leave the size shape and format of the show as is, but just exchange all of the current images with new ones. I am hoping there is a quick way to delete and replace all images for each show? Each slide show has around 40 images and I have 18 shows
    thank you for your help

    1. Activate "thumbnails" in the configuration panel
    2. Select one Thumbnail.
    3. Rightclick and choose "Select same"
    4. Press "backspace"
    5. Open the configuration panel and load the new images.

  • How do i make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to put the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. Any help?

    How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?

    Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
    See this iMovie Help topic:
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
    You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
    Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

  • How to Set up Print As Image Registry Default.

    This is a response to the archived post at:
    martin hrubes, "How to customize printing by registry - print as image" #, 6 Nov 2007 2:28 am
    I was trying to find out how to set the "Print As Image" advanced setting to be enabled by default. Here is what I discovered through trial and error.
    1. The setting is stored per user and per printer. (i.e. it has to be set for each printer for each user.)
    2. The registry setting is stored in the following key:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\General\cPrintAsImage]
    3. In this key, each printer has a separate binary value named s0, s1, s2, etc. The number increments by 1 for each printer added. If you open the value data, you will see it contains the name of the printer encoded in hex. (ex. hex coded for \\Server\Printer1)
    My recomendation is to open a pdf file in reader, go to File -> Print ->Select Desired Printer -> Click "Advanced" Options -> Enable "Print As Image" -> Click OK - Click OK again. Repeat for each printer you want to
    change.
    **NOTE** If you don't click OK both times (i.e. cancel the print dialog), the change will not be saved. You have to actually print something to the printer. If you don't want to print something, make sure the printer is offline or not accessible (unplug the network, usb, parallel, serial cable) first. Once the printer has been changed, it will keep the setting until to you change it.
    After you have set-up all of the desired printers, open RegEdit and navigate to the above key. Right click on it, and export it. Note the file name and location you are saving to. Close RegEdit. "Edit" (Right Click) the file just exported ("Opening" the file will just import it back into the registry.). Once opened, highlight and copy the registry key and all of the registry values. Paste the key and values at the end of the file. In one of the keys change "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\" to "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\". Save and exit the file.
    When imported this file will enable the "Print As Image" setting for the currently logged in user plus add the setting to the default users profile so any new users to the machine will have it enabled by default also. However, it will not add it to any other user profiles that already exist on the computer. To do this, either use a login script for domain computers or add the reg file to the "All Users Startup" folder.
    It would be nice to have a setting in the deployment custimazation wizard to handle this, but for now we're stuck with enabling it the hard way.

    Yes Spyla, please see this link http://www.404techsupport.com/2008/09/09/make-adobe-reader-and-adobe-acrobat-use-print-as- image-setting-by-default-2/comment-page-1/#comment-3112.
    Allan, many thanks for your post, it certainly helped point me in the right direction.  what I found though is that you do not need to tick the print as image box at any point during the setting up of this.  All you need to do is add the registry key for whichever version of Adobe you are using for this to work.  So basically. what you are saying for each instance of Adobe is regardless of whether or not the print as image is selected, the registry key is saying always print as image for the printer as specified by the hex code. I have found that for network printers, you have to include the full path i.e. \\<servername>\<printername> e.g \\testserver\printer1 and convert all of that to hex. With later versions (9 up over), they have allowed for the string name of the printer so that it is just plain text which also makes life easier.
    What I do is apply this registry entry via Group Policy on a per room basis so that we only ever need to add one printer to the list.  you could do this globally by adding all printers sequentially using s0, s1, s2 or t0, t1, t2 etc depending on which version you are using.  The screenshot shows the registry key for 1 printer for Adobe Reader 8.
    The value data is the binary code for the actual full printer name
    This works a treat.
    Hope this helps
    Thanks

  • How to select multiple pages to export from one document to another

    Have a 200 + page doc, would like to select about half to place in another doc.
    An earlier post advised selecting the required pages in thumbnail view and copy and paste into second doc. No problem with single page that way but how to select the multiple pages.
    Would appreciate some guidance please.
    Am using Pages Maverick.

    Thanks fruhulda.
    This is what I found,
    make a section around the consective pages to be copied,
    in thumbnail view, hold down shift key, right click on first page in section of interest, select copy,
    in thumbnail view of second document, right click and select paste.
    transfer complete.
    Found clicking in body of second document, ie not the thumbnail view, paste will only transfer text and not images.
    I do have difficulty in splitting sections - will search forum
