How to use an animated .GIF image as the texture in Cp4 ?

Hello all
I wish to create an animated banner and use it as the texture in Captivate 4.
As I know texture supports only image formats( JPEG, PNG, GIF,etc). So, I have created a small animation in Photoshop and saved in GIF format and used it as the texture. But when I preview the movie it is displayed as an image but not the animation.
Is there any solution for this problem?
Kind regards,
Kartik Pullela

1. Instal this package: http://nugetmusthaves.com/Package/WpfAnimatedGif2. Use the code below:
<Window x:Class="WpfAnimatedGif.Demo.MainWindow"xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"xmlns:gif="http://wpfanimatedgif.codeplex.com"Title="MainWindow"Height="350"Width="525"><Grid><Image gif:ImageBehavior.AnimatedSource="Images/animated.gif"/></Grid>I found this on: http://wpfanimatedgif.codeplex.com/, and this is the useful solution because <MediaElement /> doesn't show the .gif image, and that's pretty strange.

How to use new icons (gif images) added to the icons folder in forms 6i???

Hi all,
I have added some new icons images to the path:
\\FORMS60\java\oracle\forms\icons
Now how to show this icons on buttons at run time?

You mentioned your directory path as \\FORMS60\java\oracle\forms\icons, is this a local directory??? If it's a network directory make sure the directory is accesible by the user.
Try to create a local directory like C:\my_icons and put your icons in it make sure the directory you have your icons in it is listed in FORMS_PATH registry key string.
And make sure you icons are of .ico format.

How to use two different boot images in the same task sequence

I have a need to use Two boot images in the same task sequence. The reason is I'm deploying ZTI to McAfee encrypted devices which I have already done with McAfee v6 Encryption successfully.
Here's where my problem comes in. We are about to deploy McAfee v7 which means we will have a mix of v6 and v7 in our environment. I must have two special Boot images one with v6 drivers and one with v7 drivers in order for my process to work. I don't see
a way right now to assign more than one boot image to a task sequence. Is there any way to do this?
If I can't do that then I will have to create two task sequences and target collections based on the Endpoint Encryption version to deploy to.
If anyone has suggestions it would be much appreciated. Thank you

Have you tested copying those files to %windir%\system32\drivers during the WinPE session (just enable commandline support to your boot image) to see if they need to be in there before the OS start? Test that and if they don't need to be there during the
boot up of WinPE then:
Create two packages (v6 and v7)
"Run command line", use the package created earlier and just use "copy /Y .\*.* %windir%\system32\drivers" ...again, this should be run according to your needs, variable or some other check like I said

Using an animated gif/other to display series of images within another image?

I design custom baseball cards for a hobby, and am wondering if I can use an animated GIF inset within a large photo to display a rotation of images.
It is easiest if you look at the "card"/image . . . within the circle, where there is a picture of Ruth holding some bats, I would like to add a series of several images that would rotate through (obviosuly the "card" would be for viewingonline rather than printing).
Is it possible to do? I am thinking an "animated gif" would be the easiest, but if there is some other way (video, etc.). I am open to that.
I just would like to know if the goal can be done, and if so, how to do it.
TIA!!!

That can be done with a gif. You just set up your bg image, then have a series of layers for your insert. Create a frame animation by opening it in Window>Timeline. Have all your insert layers except one turned off. Create a new frame, the turn on the next layer. Keep repeating creating a new frame and turning on a new layer. When you're done, you can set the time each frame displays. Save it using save for web using the gif option.

How combine a jpeg image & animated gif image & save it as GIF ?

i have an jpeg image, & also aminated gif image, how do i place the animated gif image over (in the center of the image) a jpeg image & save it as gif file ??

First thing you need to do is stop thinking in terms of file formats once the files are in photoshop they are all the same. The exception being vector vs raster. But in this instance the process is rteally the same so 6 on one hand a half a dozen on the other. Or as some would say Tomatoe, tomahtoe(mispelled on purpose).
The jpeg I would assume is the background image and the gif image is the fore ground object. Open the jpeg, and then place the gif file. As long as the fore ground object has transparency, your job is pretty much done. If not, then it will be up to you to mask what you want to keep vs what you don't and apply that selection to the foregrounds layer as a mask.
Google the net or skim the users manual for the keywords - mask, selections, quickmask, pen tool, paths. Each of these can in one way or another take care of your issue.
It would be worth your time to also go through the numerous videos about photoshop and see how its done.
Either go to adobe tv,
Itunes podcasts
or one of the following web sites:

Animated GIF image gets distorted while playing.

Hi,
I have some animated gif images which I need to show in a jLabel and a jTextPane. But some of these images are getting distorted while playing in the two components, though these images are playing properly in Internet Explorer. I am using the methods insertIcon() of jTextPane and setIcon() of jLabel to add or set the gif images in the two components. Can you please suggest any suitable idea of how I can get rid of this distortion? Thanks in advance.

In the code below is a self contained JComponent that paints a series of BufferedImages as an animation. You can pause the animation, and you specify the delay. It also has two static methods for loading all the frames from a File or a URL.
Feel free to add functionality to it, like the ability to display text or manipulate the animation. You may wan't the class to extend JLabel instead of JComponent. Just explore around with the painting. If you have any questions, then feel free to post.
The downside to working with an array of BufferedImages, though, is that they consume more memory then a single Toolkit gif image.

How do I import animated gifs into Premiere with a transparent background?

I have an animated gif that I got from the internet, and I'm trying to import it into Premiere Pro with a transparent background. The gif is of a video game character standing still and blinking. Whenever I import it, it always has a white background, so I need help on how to change that.
I've gone into Photoshop and removed the white background frame by frame, making it transparent. I do this by using the magic wand tool to select the white background, then hit "delete" to turn it into that diamond grid, which means it's transparent. I then select File -> Save for Web. I preview every frame, and it shows that the backgrounds are transparent. I save it as a gif. But when I import it into Premiere Pro, the white background is still there.
I've read many forums online about people trying to import images into Premiere Pro with a transparent background, but none of them have explained how to do it specifically for animated gifs. Every answer has always been "export the image as a png, that'll work", and sure enough, I exported a few frames of the gif as pngs, and those few frames had transparent backgrounds in Premiere Pro. But I don't want a png because those aren't animated sequences, those can only be still images. I need to export it as a gif so that it will remain animated, but gif files always have that dreaded white background in Premiere Pro.
I suppose I could export every frame as a png, import each of those frames into Premiere Pro, then string all the frames together and tweak them so they'll be functionally identical to the animated gif, but that would take forever. I'm making a video project and I need numerous animated gifs to work with, so I don't want to do that with every single one of them. I'm looking for a way to simply import the gifs into Premiere Pro and be done with it. If there is any way to do this, please help me.

faind on gif transparency and other cartoon animation problems : Adobe After Effects
" The reason: GIFs don't support alpha channels. Instead, their file structure assigns a certain color value to be read as totally transparent. There aren't any degrees of transparency as you find in graphics formats that do support alpha channels.
To use an animated gif in AE, you'd first have to create the areas of transparency, then convert the series of images into a graphics format that supports alpha channels, and there are a bunch: PICT, TIFF, TARGA or PNG, to name a few."

Thanks

Hi
I like to resize a gif image. Currently i am using the following code but the resized image is not smooth.
public BufferedImage resizeImage(BufferedImage img, int newW, int newH)
          int w = img.getWidth();
          int h = img.getHeight();
          BufferedImage dimg = new BufferedImage(newW, newH, img.getType());
          Graphics2D g = dimg.createGraphics();
          g.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION, RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR);
          g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, newW, newH, 0, 0, w, h, null);
          g.dispose();
          return dimg;
Is there a way to resize a gif image in a smooth way as the example given in the gif4j library
Thanks

How to make a Colorful Gif Image for Holi

How to make a colorful Gif Image for Happy Holi 2014

Okay, I know this doesn't answer your question, but don't get me wrong. A logo is meant to be the way it was designed - upright, no flipping/ swiveling animation. Why exactly do you want to let your logo turn around?
If its to grab attention, why dont you consider animating the area on which your logo sits (header)? Or maybe add nice transitive slideshows on your main content area to add more interactivity?

How to add byte[] array based Image to the SQL Server without using parameter

how to add byte[] array based Image to the SQL Server without using parameter.I have a column in table with the type image in sql and i want to add image array to the sql image column like below:
I want to add image (RESIM) to the procedur like shown above but sql accepts byte[] RESIMI like System.Drowing. I whant that sql accepts byte [] array like sql image type
not using cmd.ParametersAdd() method
here is Isle() method content

SQL Server binary constants use a hexadecimal format:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179899.aspx
You'll have to build that string from a byte array yourself:
byte[] bytes = ...
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder("0x", 2 + bytes.Length * 2);
foreach (var b in bytes)
builder.Append(b.ToString("X2"));
string binhex = builder.ToString();
That said, what you're trying to do - not using parameters - is the wrong thing to do. Not only it is insecure due to the risk of SQL injection but in the case of binary data is also inefficient since these hex strings are larger than the original byte[]
data.
