Image Editing (3D and Motion) Trouble

I'm working on a sketch where a coat chases my little brother and I, and I'm trying to rotate the picture, imported from a .psd file with three layers (the body of the coat and the ends of the two sleeves). of my coat on with the Basic 3D filter. In one portion of the sketch, it works exactly how I want it to (paused and playing looking the same), but then I put in a new clip, and it screws up. I set it to rotate on the Y-axis negative 50º and move it to the right side of the screen, but what appears when I hit play and when it's still are different. The coat will move more towards the middle of the screen and it rotates differently when I hit play. What can I do to fix this, and why is it happening?

btt.
Nobody knows how to do this? Trying to get our 3D files embedded in the pdf. Cant figure out how to have the 3rd party viewer right in the PDF for mark up.
Thanks.

  • Using still image in FCP and Motion

    I'm using still images in Motion (and FCP) and exporting them to Quicktime movie files. What's the best size and resolution for the images and are JPGs or TIF best? I'm exporting for 720 X 480, and currently my JPGs are 4 x 6 at 300 dpi with a pixel width and height of 1312 x 2000. I'm adding some behaviors to the images in Motion (motion paths and shrink/grow).
    My FCP project is setup as a DV NTSC 48kHz, 720 x 480, editing timebase=59.94, timecode Rate=same as editing timebase, compressor-DV/DVPRO-NTSC, quality 100%.
    When I export to Quicktime the movies are very low quality--lots of noise and moire pattern etc.
    How do I get the best qualtiy using still images? Is it my FPS setting, image pixel size, compressor setting? Also, do the movies need to be deinterlaced?
    The preview in the FCP browser and canvas looks a little better but I do notice noise (moire patterns) along the sharp edges of the still images.
    I've seen QT movies of these very same images (done by someone else who is no longer around) and they are much better quality.
    Does anyone have an appropriate workflow for this type of project? The final movies are to be shown on a flatscreen monitor from a local computer, so the file sizes can be relatively large (300mb).
    I can post an example of he movie files if that might help.
    Thanks.

    David, your a genius!!! You posted your reply on my birthday, and I missed it until today!
    Fotomagico is devastatingly easy to use and absolutely makes me want to cry at the amount of time I wasted creating photo slideshows in FCP!
    I opened Fotomagico up and created a slideshow, one that I had already created in FCP and had take me FIVE HOURS to create... in TEN MINUTES!!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaaaah.
    I couldn't believe it. I thought there had to be a catch or something. This was too easy the quality can't be there... but it was. It's amazing and I can't thank you enough for all the future hours you have saved for me.

  • Aperture, Photoshop, and Apple's possible direction for Image Editing

    All,
    After using Aperture now for several days, and reading many different forum topics, in particular this one which speaks of desired enhancements to Aperture:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=253594&tstart=0
    there is one thing that really sticks out on my mind. While all of us photographers have slightly different specifics to our workflow, in general they are very similar. And with respect to Aperture, there is one huge area where most of us seem to be hitting the brick wall: image adjustments, and by extension, image file management. Let me explain what I mean.
    I think it is a fair generalization to say that the vast majority of serious digital photographers are using Photoshop (or some other image editing app, but I'm just going to refer to Photoshop for convenience) for post-processing of some kind. In using Aperture, and figuring out how to fit it into workflow, we've got this situation of how to move from organization and image library management to the full gamut of image adjusting functionality (photoshop) and back again to library management. The need to use photoshop then exposes the issue of how files are stored on the filesystem, etc. Stay with me here...
    I have found myself thinking, and it is pretty clearly demonstrated in the forum topic mentioned above where folks are making suggestions for improvements to Aperture, that there's this barrel people are over in knowing whether Photoshop and Aperture should live in the workflow together, or whether Aperture should (or is intended to) replace Photoshop in the workflow. This got me to thinking about the fundamental question -- what is the intent, i.e. the vision for Aperture? Is it meant to replace Photoshop, or restated, is Aperture meant to be the app in which all image adjustments are to be made, OR is Aperture meant to just ease workflow, and is it intended not to be the primary app for image adjustments, but rather integrate with the primary image adjustment app?
    The reason I bring this up is that the answer to this question makes all the difference in what enhancement requests and what people should expect from Aperture now, and in future versions. If Aperture is the primary place for image adjustment, then its obvious that there are some very significant additions that need to take place to Aperture, and likewise, the issue of putting images on the filesystem becomes much less important. However, if Aperture is a workflow-easer, then such image adjustment improvements are minimally important if at all, and filesystem / Photoshop / PSD file integration becomes paramount.
    I know what Aperture does, what features it provides, etc. But I can't help but realize that its not really that clear (or I just don't understand yet) what the full scope of Aperture now and in the future is intended to be, and the forum topics are pretty decent documentation of the fact that the user base at this point is fairly cloudy on that too.
    I can't help thinking that in the midst of the Apple pro line of tools, where we have tools that edit: video, audio, DVD creation, text effects, and now digital photography workflow, that there's one glaring hole: static image editing, i.e. a direct Photoshop competitor. I went through the Aperture video demos before Aperture shipped, and watched these photo pros talk incessantly about how "now there's an app that addresses how I work -- Aperture". That's great, but Apple has to know the role that Photoshop plays in present photography workflow -- for those pros too. So I'm sitting here thinking to myself, why would Apple roll out such a product with some clear workflow hurdles to common Photoshop usage.
    Ok, here's the punchline: does anyone else here have a sneaking suspicion that Apple is not to far off from releasing their own image editing application that's a direct Photoshop competitor? I mean come on, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Sountrack, and by extension of the CEO to Pixar, Renderman. How can you not have a static image adjustment application entering the scene at some point?
    I'm curious what others think. I'm just trying to make sense of how to fit the neat stuff I see in Aperture into a workflow that doesn't play very nicely with Aperture at some points (because I'm using Photoshop).

    Powerbook G4-1.33GHz-17" / Powermac G4-1.4GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.2)   PB: 1GB RAM, Radeon 9600-64MB / PM: 1.25GB RAM, Radeon 9000Pro-128MB

    So Apple adds curves adjustments,
    we'll need noise reduction, greater sharpening
    capability, etc., etc., and then when we have all
    those features, surely we'll need masking and select
    capability to perform those adjustments selectively,
    etc. Where does it end?
    Actually that could be a good cut-off point - add a few more/better 'global' adjustments but leave all mask, selection and layer based tasks to external editors. Personally, I used to swear by curves, but haven't really touched them in PS for a year since shooting more RAW and learning how to use the shadow/highlight adjustment properly. Sometimes for overall colour for JPEGs, but that bit can be done just as well in levels.
    My workflow isn't particularly typical, but here goes.
    Type of photography - stitched panoramas as a professional, plus general snapshots/nature/landscape as hobby. Single user with no network storage.
    Currently I use a very organised folder structure in the Finder, along with aliases in DragThing docks for easy access to final stitched files, all with their own unique ID. RAW conversions are done in ACR/PSCS2, or Bibble if I'm in a hurry on the laptop. About 40% of the panos are shot in RAW, 40% are bracketed JPEG and the remaining 20% are 'single' JPEG. The panoramas go through quite a lot of post-processing in PS using a whole series of actions and AppleScripts.
    I'm expecting my workflow to look something like this:
    1) Download directly into Aperture, possibly with added help from Automator/Applescript when it comes to proper date-based names.
    2) Divide download into a new album for each panorama.
    2a) If it is a people pano there will be quite a lot of duplicate shots for each panohead position - make a stack for each position and choose picks - this bit will speed things up enormously by itself. Reorder stacks to fit correct order of images going around the scene.
    3) Export to TIFF (sometimes JPEG) and stitch using PTMac (sometimes Realviz Stitcher). Oh, and any people who think Aperture is limited, buggy and bad value should go and look at Stitcher - it costs the same, has a far more limited feature set, is on version 5 and by comparison makes Aperture look bug-free.
    4) Bring stitched panorama into Photoshop to adjust seams through layers if needed, flatten, final tone adjustments (usually using shadow/highlight), possibly some colour tweaks, sharpen. For bracketed shots I will blend together the three exposures at this point using a custom action - this kind of thing is unlikely ever to make it to Aperture.
    5) Bring final print-ready file into Aperture for cataloguing/backup.
    5a) If file is too big for Aperture, make a smaller version for cataloguing and store original file in Finder. This gives me a good file for 90% of purposes, with the huge file available with a bit more work.
    Too big? I've found that Aperture gets sluggish with files over 18-20,000 pixels wide, and chokes totally somewhere between 25,000 and 32,000 pixels wide - 'image format unsupported'.
    To summarise - organise and convert in Aperture, stitch in specialist software, do PS-specific stuff then bring final image back in to join the source images.

  • How do I leave editable text and images in a PDF?

    I recently bought a flyer template and it came as an editable PDF.  Here is one of the templates http://www.wendygarratt.com/images/flyer.pdf
    Every field, both text and graphic object, is fully editable in the free Adobe reader.  I have Acrobat X and have tried all the methods of producing something like this but nothing has worked.  I wish to produce not just one page template PDFs that can be edited like the one above, but I also have a 20+ page magazine, which currently is distributed in PDF form and I wanted certain image and text fields within the magazine to be customisable too. 
    I design the magazine using InDesign and the exported pages are composed of 1 large background image with text fields laid over the top.  I have tried exporting it as an interactive PDF, ticking the layers option for Acrobat, but when I try to create an editable form (Tools>Forms>Create>Open file) it does not recognise any of the text fields at all.
    Can someone please help me before I slam my head repeatedly in a door?  I have been searching for a solution for so long and I'm getting rather frustrated.
    Thank you in advance
    Wendy-G

    Thanks for the replies I've had so far, but I really need some detailed help to sort this.
    I want to be able to create a PDF that has editable text and editable graphics over a background image, that can be edited in the free Adobe Reader, as per this item - http://www.wendygarratt.com/images/flyer.pdf
    I know this was designed in LiveCycle and I have LiveCycle and Adobe Acrobat Pro X, but LiveCycle is new to me.  I am a quick learner (I use Photoshop, InDesign, etc) and need help in getting started.
    I am willing to work with someone to help get this sorted but it is urgent that I get to grips with this.
    Thanks so much for helping

    What edition of LR 5? What edition of ACR does PSCS 6 contain. If they are not parallel (same edition number x in [5 or 8].x ), is LR making a tiff or psd rendition of the image?

  • LR5 and external image editing.

    When editing an image or images in an external editor, such as CS5, OnOne, Nik, etc, LR5 places the images (when it works) at the end of the image sequence instead of where the origonal image came from and stacking the edited images with it. This is different than LR3 or LR4. LR5 does not seem to play well with Nik software either. After editing three images in Nik DHR Efex Pro 2 the saved image did not reapear in LR5. This was never a problem in LR4. Is there some 'tweeking' that needs to be done in LR5??

    I expect that your Sort Order just needs to be changed, in order to always put the edited images next to the originals they are based on.
    For example, if you sort by Capture time they will appear together - because the information about what date / time the shutter fired, is the same for all derived versions (external edit copies, virtual copies included). If you sort by date added, or date edited, then the Filmstrip and Grid view will reflect the working sequence instead.
    Sorting options are on the Toolbar at the bottom of the Grid screen (above the filmstrip), press T if that is not showing. If sorting does not show up on the Toolbar, enable that using the arrow at the right hand end of the Toolbar strip.
    When you edit an image into (e.g.) a Nik utility, this is basically the same as when you send an image to any other external editor: you will need to save your work to the filename that Lightroom has defined, and which LR is therefore "watching", in order for the changes made to appear back in LR.
    If you fail to save into the filename which LR is aware of, your work will not appear there - and if you save into a file LR is not aware of, then it will... be unaware of that (grin)..
    The only situation AFAIK where LR is going to pick up on some other ad-hoc filename and location, is when you edit into Photoshop via a compatible ACR version. In this case (only) the two products go into a specially-scripted interaction, where the image is seen at first in a "not yet saved" state, with LR kept specially "in the loop" as to what then happens - either saving the edit to a file, or else cancelling and discarding the edit.
    One way to distinguish when PS is working in this specially-compatible way, rather than in the more usual way described above, is that your document window will be titled something like "document1", while an image is (so far) unsaved. But I would not expect to ever see this when a third-party utility or plugin is used.

  • I've edited an image on Lightroom and gone back and edited again.  Is there anyway to get back to that original edit of the image?

    I've edited an image on Lightroom and gone back and edited again.  Is there anyway to get back to that original edit of the image?

    In the History Panel (on the left) of the Develop Module, click on any previous edit to see what the photo looked like at that step.
    If you are going to regularly want to see two versions of edits on a single photo, consider using either virtual copies or snapshots.

  • Image editing and type

    Hope this is probably quite straightforward. First of all,
    when you use Captivate to record your screenshots automatically, am
    I right in thinking that these images are not stored anywhere as
    individual files? Secondly, if you want to edit the images, what is
    the best way to take them out and replace them within your
    presentation, and should the replaced file be a .bmp or .gif - or
    something else?
    To confirm the image replacement, all of my images are
    'background' so i've currently used the 'Copy Background' command
    and pasted into Photoshop. Now i've completed my image editing what
    type of file should I save as and how do I get that to be the new
    background in the relevant slide?
    Thanks,
    Richard.

    I often use Copy Background, paste into Photoshop, make
    edits, flatten,
    save as Index (8bit), copy, Paste as Background.
    I've not had a problem with unreasonable file sizes with that
    method,
    but should I, will just save the bmp then import into the CP
    project.

  • Edit images of acrobat and paste them into the same position

    I have a problem when I want to paste an image edited with photoshop acrobat this is pasted into another position or inverted.
    thanks for your help.

    We perform image editing by right clicking, then edit, then modified it in photoshop and acrobat flight to return to, but change the position or inverted.
    I was told that when you edit the default decision of the new sheet created in photoshop and that is why to paste into adobe changes.

    I want to share a folder of images with a client who is also using bridge. I want the client to be able to edit metadata and rate the image. How can I do this?

    Metadata won't be a problem as long as you use Bridge to copy the file from within Bridge to whatever media (flash drive, CD/DVD. email, etc) you plan to use for the sharing.
    I'm not sure about the Label part.  Maybe it will travel along too.

  • Can I import edited photos (and their raw originals) from Aperture in groups, like 5-star images from a project?

    I have 30,000 images in Aperture and it keeps crashing. I've run out of memory on my MacBook Pro running 10.8.6 and I want to switch over to Lightroom for all new photos and slowly migrate my best ones over to LR as well. I've edited many of my best shots already, probably 6000 or more, so I need to feel confident that cropping, editing, rating, and metadata will all migrate successfully.
    Also, can I load the Lightroom itself onto an external hard drive and keep all my images off my laptop? If I edit them, do the edits remain on my laptop regardless of where the originals reside. I think that's the issue that I'm running into with Aperture:  edits stay on my laptop even though originals are on an external HD.
    Thanks for your feedback on both of these matters.

I think that's the issue that I'm running into with Aperture:  edits stay on my laptop even though originals are on an external HD.
    Your photos can be on any hard disk, internal or external or network. If they are stored on an external hard disk, then when you import them into Lightroom, you select the ADD option and the photo will remain on your external hard disk. The edits are stored in your Lightroom catalog (as opposed to "remain on my laptop"). Once you import photos into Lightroom, you no longer want to manage them (move, copy, delete) using your operating system. You do all photo management in Lightroom.
    If you transfer the photos properly, your edits, cropping, metadata, etc. will transfer to Lightroom, but I will leave the details to some expert on Aperture.
    If I could offer some advice, I don't think you want to just transfer SOME of your photos to Lightroom. In my opinion, you want ALL of your photos managed by Lightroom, and not some in application 1 and some in application 2. This makes your life much easier when trying to find your photos, you don't have to think "Is this photo in Lightroom or is this in Aperture?"  (Note: this doesn't mean you have to import all the photos from Aperture into Lightroom in one HUGE operation; you can certainly do the importing in manageable sized groups)

  • Creating a PDF that has editable fields and replaceable images

    I've been trying to figure out how I can create a PDF that has editable texts and replaceable images. I'm working for a company in which all computers only have Adobe Reader as means to view or edit a PDF file. So far I have managed to create a file that has editable text fields with customized appearance, which is great! The next step however was to create 'fields' that can be filled by an image. Is there a way to create replaceable images with LiveCycle or any other prorgram for that matter.
    My goal is simple: Create a PDF that has editable textfields and replaceable images. All of which should be done in Adobe Reader.
    I'm using Adobe Acrobat X Pro to create this file and I'm wondering if Live Cycle can help me with this problem, or if this is even possible to begin with. Thanks in advance.

    Your goal is very simple with the LCD. You are have to use only an Image Field (important no Image) from the object library.
    Any time you can click on it and select a new picture.
    Hope this information is helpful?
    Kind regards Mandy

    I am using Aperture 3 now and I love it. But I would like to purchase or download perhaps some freeware, easy to use photo imaging/editing software with more filters, perhaps layering etc. I don't want something with a very steep learning curve, getting to old for that. My Apple mentor suggests Pixelmator or Gimp ? Are there some others out there? When I was still in the Windows world, I used Photoshop Elements but that is now in my past. Any ideas?

    Pixelmator or Gimp are both nice tools for advanced image processing and compositing. I.e. Gimp can do pretty much the same as Phtoshop. You might also have a look at digikam  http://www.digikam.org/drupal/download/binary
    Digikam is not just an advanced image processing and compositing program, it is also content management system like Aperture or iPhoto.
    I also find GraphicConverter a nice tool, but it is not free.
    If you want your image editing tools to integrate well with Aperture, I would look first at the available plug-ins, start with the plug-ins offered in the Aperture pull-down menu
    Aperture -> Aperture Plug-ins...

Maybe you are looking for
