Rough Estimate for Cost of Developing Image Editing Tool?

Hello all,
Anyone have an idea of what it would cost to have a flash developer create an image editing tool from scratch? Normal tasks such as resize and rotation as well as redeye and color correction including auto sepia color woudl be needed.
A ballpark figure will do.
Any guesses?

I don't think you would be able to have "a" developer do it. It would require a goodly number of people. And as Bentley Wolfe says it won't be cheap. Certainly into 6 figures. No idea if it would be low or high 6 figures. And if it wasn't I would be very afraid of what you would get.

Free image editing tool

I'm looking for a free image editing software that can resize, change image resolution, and save in a wide variety of formats (jpeg, gif, tiff, png, etc)
I've downloaded Image Tool and though it's a great program, it still doesn't give me the control I want for my pictures. Was wondering if anyone else knows of anything.

Try these freeware apps.

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...

In Preview, I suddenly am unable to get the "Adjust Color" tool panel to edit images. I just get the rectangular image selection tool instead. How do I ge the "Adjust Color" tool panel back?

Hmmm, I wonder if that window is hidden or off screen? Have you moved the pic window around to look under it?
Might try this...
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.bookmarks.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Image editing selection tools in Aperture 2?

Are there any image editing selection tools in Aperture 2 (Magic Wand, selection box etc.)? If not, you can't make any corrections without effecting the whole picture. I guess that would just send you back to Photoshop or Elements for image editing, and then you might as well stay in the Adobe world.

This isn't what Aperture is designed for. The features you are asking about are not really photographic in nature - they are image manipulations that go beyond what Aperture is designed to do.
Think of Aperture more as a catalog that allows photographers to make the vast majority of adjustments they need to make to single images (contrast, exposure, white balance, dust spots, minor clone/patching, etc.). It also provides strong keywording and search capabilities.
Folks who need to do advanced image manipulations/compositing etc. will have to do it in PhotoShop, but they will lose the "library" functions found in Aperture. Lightroom is the same way - you have to export your pic's to PhotoShop to do serious editing/layers, etc.

I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines. Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool?

I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines. Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool? Help!

If the scan is in B&W, then play with the Threshold setting here
If it's in Color, then you will have to open the scan in a Raster editing software (like Photoshop) and play with the Brightness/Contrast settings to make the lines bolder.

RAW IMAGE EDITING -help required

Please can someone help me with this.
I look at my RAW images in Organiser and then I use the EDIT tap to move to the RAW IMAGE edit section with the image I want to edit.
After I have edited the image- I move the image back to the main EDIT screen and then save as a Jpeg File in another folder.
The problem I am having is, when I then go back to the Organiser, I cant open the unedited original RAW image again, not sure why this is?
although I can see a small thamb-nail of the image it does not open but keeps on searching.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thank you in advance

To be sure I understand your workflow, I'll put it in my own words...
- You select a raw file in the Organizer, and you choose to edit it in full edit/expert mode (that depends on the PSE version).
- The file opens in the specific dialog panel of ACR, with its typical sliders
- When you have done your edits there, you can either be satisfied with them (case 1) or want to do further editing in the PSE editor with layers or other tools (case 2)
- case 1 - you simply click 'Done' and you are back in the organizer. The thumbnail is updated to show the edits.
- case 2 - You click 'Open' and the file opens in the normal editor mode of PSE. You do further edits, and you save the result in the format and the folder you want. When you close the image in the editor, you get back to the Organizer. If you have set your 'save as' with the right checkbox, the new jpeg is stored in the the Catalog as a version set.
Your problem seems to be that once you have edited your original raw file, you don't see it in its original state without the edits ?
If so, in the bar just under the tabs, you have a menu on the right (4 bars icon). You just set the choice to camera raw defaults, and you are shown the original raw image without your edits. Note that if you choose 'Shift + Open', you open a new copy without changing the previous settings saved in the xmp sidecar file.

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).

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.

Are Aperture's editing tools similar to or better than PS Elements?

Are the editing tools in Aperture similar to or better than PS Elements?
I'm an amateur photographer - I need images for my web site - plants and gardens, mostly, I have a perennial plant nursery.
I've been using PS Elements 2.0 to manipulate images, mostly rotation, sharpen resizing, adjusting contrast....
Aperture sounds very interesting - the tools for viewing and comparing images sound more graceful and easy to use.
Thanks - paul

Out of interest, I went over to the Adobe Lightroom forums and found the following:
"Lightroom is aimed at being a workflow for handling raw camera images doing mostly global corrections. Photoshop Elements is meant for handling processed images mostly and allows you to do fine local adjustments
Global means adjustments which are applied to the entire image such as tonal correction etc whereas localized corrections are something like removing a hair out of place, doing composite images, or removing red-eye."
Lightroom is Adobe's soon-to-be competing product, so it's basically equivalent to Aperture (until you look at the details - but that's another topic). The comments quoted above are relevant to Aperture as well.

Text Edit Tool icon missing in Acrobat Standard X

Hi,
In Acrobat 8 Standard, when I click "Text Edit Tool" icon, I can start insert, delete or replce text comments without re-click any "insert", "delete" or "replace" icon in the Text Edit Tool until I press"Esc" key.
I just install Acrobat Standard X these days, It moved the commenting annotation to the right panel with those fancy icons. Looks great! However, I have to click on the "Insert", "delete" or "replace" icon on every action. I am wondering if Acrobat remove the great feature or I am missing something?
p.s. Just found ouy it is called "Text Correction Markup" in Acrobat Reader XI. I can't image paid Acroabat Standard X has less feature than Acrobat Reader XI. Hopefully, Adobe can have a Update to add the "accidentally removed" feature back to Standard X.
Thanks

Is there no response from Adobe? It's a serious issue that this useful tool was removed (or hidden?) in Adobe X.
I use Acrobat for collaboration for much of my work, and it's a significant burden to have to click on each tool individually.

Image editing in iPages?

I print up several 8.5" x 11" event posters for group activities. I would like to move on from text only posters to text and images. I would like to take pictures that I have taken and add traced outline images to my posters. Does anyone know if iPages and/or iPhoto allows a way to use image editing with the mouse to trace a line along the outline of objects depicted in a photo?

could you explain in more detail? How do one "apply transparency" etc. in Pages. Where is the free hand tool? It is difficult to follow your instructions as they are now.
Drag and drop colour bitmap or grascale bitmap. With bitmap still selected, go to the Graphic mode of the Inspector, and in the Graphic mode of the Inspector select the Opacity slider.
In the main menu bar, select Insert, in the Insert menu select Shape, and in the Shape menu select Draw a Shape (which is the freehand tool). When you have your shape, apply a stroke and a fill to it.
Continue to add shapes with strokes and fills until you have the look and layout you want. Then group the shapes, copy to another document, and delete the document with the bitmap template.
The step from the concept description to the menu description could be had from the Apple Pages manual. This type of drawing and colouring for posters emulates the shapes and colours of lithographic posters that were popular 1860-1960. The difference between a good design and a bad design is not really a difference in the software you select but in your own understanding of how to work with line and colour.

Image editing software

I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask, but...
I'm looking for imaging editing software that, in addition to having layers, has both of the following:
1) Clone tool
2) A filter or effect that turns digital photos into oil-painting images
Preferably something other than Adobe, and something that costs about $70 or less.
Can anyone suggest something? A Google search proved fruitless; almost impossible to find anything that definitively says it has both.

Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac ($80 or so)
Pixelmator ($59. Download it from the Pixelmator site)
GIMP (Free. Download it from GIMP on OS X. The complete description of the software, features & documentation is on the main GIMP site.)
All three support layers, cloning, many effects including oil-painting

Image editing from within DWCS3

Greetings~
For some reason I can not edit images from within DWCS3. Any time I try to launch the "inhouse" editing tools from the "Properties" pannel I get an error that reads:
"Unable to launch C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Photoshop.exe. Please be sure that this application exsists and that there is enough memory to run it."
The strangest part about it is I have removed Photo Shop from my list of Editors through the Preferences. The only editor that I have in the "Editors" list is Fireworks which is set to Primary).
Any ideas? Thanks guys/gals!

Which operating system are you on?
Can you launch Fireworks the conventional way, via a shortcut?
