I want to zoom into digital image pixels.

To demonstrate DSLR chip behavior at high magnification, I want to zoom into the frame and see how individual pixels actually look.
But when I use the Scale tool to enlarge the picture, FCPX thinks I want to avoid seeing pixels so it mushes the image, blurring all the pixels.
How do I get it to stop doing that? Can it be done in Motion?
Photoshop scaling has all these Bicubic options, but it also has the Nearest Neighbor option so I can see individual pixels in the blow up, there. Is there a way to get FCPX to do the same idea?

When you are zooming into a movie that is made in a way to reveal an HDSLR's blown pixels, it would be nice to see them as a pixel map.
again: the actual compression (from any cam!) doesn't deliver single pixels.
it starts on the sensor of the cam - ever heard of the Bayer Filter?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayer_filter
if you could read out the raw data of that chip, you'd notice twice as much green 'dots' than red and blue, oops!
next, your cam compresses '4:2:0'
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4:2:0
that Chroma Subsampling drops 7 of every 8 'color dots' ... most pixels are 'grey'!
finally, it's a lossy codec, working with 'assumptions'
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter_frame
picture-prediction .... that's bits, not atoms
on de-coding, final delivery, these 'formulas' are calculated to a 1920x1080 picture ... but that is not the 'pixel reality' from your cam, nor on its sensor, nor in the file.
so, a zoom-to-pixel-level is a special effect, as mentioned above, create a close-up in Photoshop, showing r/g/b- squares … but this is not reality.

How do I get sharp pixels when zooming into an image?

Motion does a great job of smoothing imported images, but for my current project, I want sharp edges on the images pixels rather than blurred-together colors. I need to zoom way into an image and show a sharp mosaic of image pixel squares. Is there any way to accomplish this?

1) Motion shouldn't be blurring your imported images at all - if you scale them large enough (easiest in the Inspector), you should be able to see the individual pixel blocks of color.
2) You could always use the Pixelate filter (pretty sure it's there, I'm away from Motion right now)

Yes.
If you want to see the zoom, use the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool and select the Ken Burns effect. You can set the starting and ending rectangle for your zoom.
If you want to go directly to the zoom, use the Rotate, Crop, KenBurns Tool and select Crop. Set the rectangle to be where you want the zoom.

How to zoom into a specific part of an image?

I am trying to mess around with2DGraphics and affinetramsform to zoom into a section of an image but i have no luck doing it. Can someone help me out? Lets say I want to zoom into the coordinates (200,300) and (400,600) . I know DrawImage has a method that does this but does 2DGraphics have it too or affinetransform?

This is done by using scrollRectToVisible.
slider.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {
    public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
        int value = slider.getValue();
        scale = (value+4)/20.0;
        revalidate();
        Dimension d = getPreferredSize();
        Dimension extentSize = ((JViewport) getParent()).getExtentSize();
        scrollRectToVisible(new Rectangle((d.width-extentSize.width)/2, (d.height-extentSize.height)/2, extentSize.width, extentSize.height));

Can you zoom into a ibook image?

Hi, is it possible to zoom into an image that is already full screen -- so that you can check out details in the photo?
It seems to expand up with my fingers on my iPad, however, as soon as I let go of the image, it returns to full size,
so I am not able to zoom in on parts of the image. Is there a way to create images that appear in my ibook that are zoomable?
Thanks,
jkropp

The OP stated that "if I drop my image into a widget, like gallery, I still can't get the image to zoom up...."
As far as I know, gallery images are allowed to be larger precisely so that zooming in is possible without loss of quality.
....so what is your point about telling the OP that he isn't using a widget, when the OP explicitly stated that he is?

Looking for best way to convert 35 mm slides to digital images

Hello Apple Community,
Am researching best ways to convert several hundred 35 mm slides into digital images. There are numerous scanners/converters out there but want to ensure I get the best unit compatable with my iMac (27 inch, Late 2009). Any suggestions welcome.

For scanning 35mm slides you need a scanner with a good photometric resolution and geometric resolution.
For the photometric resolution: Get a scanner with a high density range (D-max) value, to get a good resolution of highlights and shadows.
For the geometric resolution - sharpness and detail - try to get at least 3200 dp,i to be able to get good 8"x10" prints from your scanned slides, a higher dpi value, if you want to be able to print larger images.

Zoom into high resolution image

Hi,
Before starting to learn Muse, I've one big need: zooming into high-resolution images.
I want to show how high the resolution is by letting the viewer zoom in with a loupe (or just scrolling with mouse wheel). I'm not talking about of a slideshow through some crops of the main image, but of an shrink- or grow effect of the image.
Is this possible to achieve?
Thanks for your insight,
Dominique

I have Photoshop CS 6 on my Mac computer. I want to bring a series of photos together into one image without any space between images, does anyone know how to this? Ideally I would like to this manually.
The reason I ask in my ealier verion of Photoshop, CS3, there was a manual alignment feature when using 'Photo Merge' feature, undr which you could manual alignment photographs if you wanted to, and I do in this instance. This feature was removed in subsequent versions of Photoshop CS 4,5, and 6.

Sean, Batch resize them all to the samne size, load as layers, increase Canvas size, and the layers will 'snap' together with the Move tool. You'll be able to use the alignment tools in the Options bar when the Move tool is selected. You will also be able to use the 'Auto select layer' feature in the Options bar to make it easier grabing the right layer.
Otherwise, get hold of Contact Sheet 2. Still resize all the images to the same size, and set the gap to zero, and turn titles off. Please note this is from memory, and it is years sonce I last used Contact Sheet.

Yes of course its Photoshop. Cut the person out copy to clipboard paste onto toe brick wall document and texture the layer using a displacement map for the brick wall. Look for Photoshop tutorials on using a displacement map.

In it's simplest form, it's two lines of code.
BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(/*the tif file*/);
ImageIO.write(bi,"jpeg",/*output file*/);Though, you need to install [JAI-ImageIO|https://jai-imageio.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html] read the tif file into a BufferedImage.

Zooming into videoclips and image

Hi I am trying to zoom into a recorded clip but I have problems doing so. Can some suggest a solution? Also can I am interested to zoom in an image. Is the method for zooming into video clips and still picture the same?

*It's been working perfectly... I don't understand why it isn't now—why it needs handles now?*
Because up till now, because of where you've placed in's and out's on the clips, you've had handles.
It's not about the length of the clip. It's about having material available for the transition.
Look at Nick Holmes diagram in this post.
