Image mask not moving as I move camera ...

I have done a reflection by cloning a layer, adding a rectangle with greyscale gradient and adding an image mask to the clone layer.
When I move the Active Camera anywhere, the image mask does not seem to go with the clone layer. As I change the angle of the camera, the cloned layer eventually disappears.
Can I get the mask to stick to the clone layer ?

Something you mentioned about Z plane was spot on.
I adjusted the Z plane and it now works.
I thought the Z plane would not matter since the image mask just references the image to create a mask, and it would not need to know where it is in space (?)
Anyway, it works now -- thanks

I have an iphone 5 and i upgrade it to ios7.0.2 but my panorama image is not moving when i move my cell? is there any special setting?

i am not getting any panorama image is moving when i move my phone.Is there any special setting??

Are you talking about using the camera application?
I assume you are not ... instead I assume you are talking about a panoramic wallpaper that at one point during iOS 7 development was supposed to move when you move your iPhone. That feature did not make it to iOS 7.

Image Masks Not Downsampled

Hi,
We have a PDF that we want to reduce the file size. When we select reduce file size, we get a window that reads "document contained image masks that were not downsampled". What does this mean? The 20 page document contains a lot of cut and paste images of maps and site plans that were built in PowerPoint and InDesign. Using Acrobat 9.
What steps do we have to take to correct this so we can reduce the file size?
Thanks
Barb

It means that the images have a vector mask controlling which areas are visible (acting as a crop). These aren't affected by a RFS action as the vector data is as small as it can be, but the warning is shown because if the underlying bitmap image is resampled, there may be some issues around the edges of the mask (e.g. if the mask very accurately cuts out a shape from a background, some pixels of the background may appear if the image PPI is reduced).

Image Mask vs Modify Composite Travel Matte

I have about 30 different clips that I have recieved as RGB and Alpha separated QT movies. I can get the clips to pull the luma from the alpha movies with the Modify>Composite>Travel Matte technique, but that leaves me with a ton of files in the timeline. I would rather be able to use the Effect>Matte>Image Mask technique, but for some reason when I apply the alpha movies to the RGB movies the alpha that is created leaves the RGB transparent.
Does the Effect>Matte>Image Mask not work properly? Is that why the only technique I see in the forums discussed is the Modify>Composite>Travel Matte technique?
Thanks for any info.

If you are able to set the mask image as the movie file, then you should try setting the mask type to luma, rather than alpha - since the alpha movies are probably black and white images which actually do not contain an alpha channel.

RAW images in Lightroom aren't opening in camera raw in Photoshop. Instead, I have to open the image in Finder before it will open in Camera Raw in Photoshop. How can I correct that?

RAW images in Lightroom aren't opening in camera raw in Photoshop. Instead, I have to open the image in Finder before it will open in Camera Raw in Photoshop. How can I correct that?

Your question is a little unclear. In a "normal" Lightroom/Photoshop workflow the raw images do not open from Lightroom into Camera Raw. Lightroom has all of the Camera Raw functionality in the develop module. When you choose to open an image in Photoshop, and Lightroom and Photoshop are synchronized (i.e. referencing the same version of Camera Raw) then Camera Raw is simply used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments as the image is transferred to Photoshop. If Camera Raw is an older version then Lightroom offers you the choice to open the image or create a PSD or TIF file that includes all of the Lightroom adjustments. But in either case, opening in Camera Raw is not part of the workflow. It is possible to open the image as a smart object or convert the image to the smart object in Photoshop and then open it in Camera Raw. That is done from within Photoshop or is one of the open options in Lightroom. If you choose to go the smart object route the image first has to be opened in Photoshop and then from there you can open it in Camera Raw.

Image mask

I am working on a custom sized video in FCPX. File size is 8150 x 1200. Everything seems to go on but image mask, when i load a same size png mask is appears stretched. I test it on a standard video size 4K and it works fine. Is image mask not working with custom files?
I often work on those kind of products and i should fix the problem
thank you for your help.
Aldo

I tried using the file you posted as an image mask on a 8150x1200 project and I got similar results as you did.
Although the image used as a mask is the same size as the project, it got stretched horizontally, producing "fat" people.
However, placing the same image on the timeline as a regular clip does not stretch it.
This suggests a workaround, that in my limited testing seems to work. (emphasis on workaround, since I believe it should not be necessary).
Connect your would-be-mask above the clip, and change its blend mode to stencil alpha.

Moving and Tilting the Camera for an optimum Lens Profile Creator image set

When framing the chart in different areas of the image frame, use a combination of physically moving and tilting the camera to achieve an optimal balance for LCP generation.
The following two passages are from the AdobeLensProfileCreatorCalibrationChartShhtingGuide.pdf
Page11/a -Move camera a bit to the left (so that when turning to the right to face the chart, it is about 10 to 30 degrees). Take a series of shots similar to the first three, above, except that the chart is framed at the center-left, top-left, and bottom-left areas of the image.
v. Move camera to the right, and do the same for the center-right, top-right, and bottom-right areas of the image
pg11/e - When framing the chart in different areas of the image frame, use a combination of physically moving and tilting the camera to achieve an optimal balance for LCP generation.
i. Only moving the camera to frame, so that image plane stays perfectly parallel to the chart, can have an adverse affect on LCP calibration data.
ii. Only tilting the chart may cause depth-of-field issues, where part of the chart may go too far out of focus due to the large angle of the chart in regards to the image plane. This can also have an adverse affect on LCP calibration data.
Does this mean to center the camera with the center/center shot so that the film plane is parallel with the calibration grid, then only use camera tilt on the tripod up and down for the top center an bottom center image. Then move the camera/tripod left (so that when turning to the right to face the chart, it is about 10 to 30 degrees) AND also pan the camera left to shoot the left top center and bottom image.
I think this combination of instructions have me stuck. Move left but not so much that the calibration target image is parallel with the film plane then pan the camera to get the desired framing.
Would I be correct to say - move left until the angel to the calibration image is 10-30 degrees and then use camera pan on the tripod to get the image framed properly. ... Is the desire to move as little as possible, or pan as little as possible, or to balance moving and panning in some way.
I am profiling a Nikon D7000/TAMRON 11-18mm F/4.5-5.6 lens and have a large target 36"x48" and read that I should shoot at minimum focus distance, 3x minimum, and 5x minimum which equates to 9.8 inches, 29.4 inches and 49 inches... I use this combo to shoot home interior shots at an focal distance of more like 10-20 feet from surrounding walls.. would I also need shots at (120 inches?) 10 feet?
I really (really) want to get the distance to subject and camera moving/pan combination right.
Please help.

There are a number of things darks/flats/bias can't remove: curvature, coma, pincushion, chromatic aberration. Some of those (pincushion i.e. showing stars on the chip in a slightly different position from their true position) may or may not be correctable with this sort of an app. It's possible using outside data (comparing the star locations in the image to their true locations in a catalog - that's a common astrophotography measurement and only takes seconds). Correcting curvature (differing focus off axis) chromatic aberration and coma (distorted star shape off axis) seem just what this app is about.
Printing a checkerboard on a nearby hill top sounds involved. Maybe I could get them to plough it in a regular pattern? :-)
The camera does not capture the data you mention. The images are usually in FITS format which has an enormous amount of data about the focal length, exposure time, amount of atmosphere through which you are looking, etc.
Calculating from the book value for the lens(es) camera chip etc would likely not be give a better result than the value obtained before correction. In some designs of scopes, particularly the most common ones, the focal length changes as you focus for example. The lenses and mirrors, comparing one scope to the next, are not perfectly identical.
But a dense star field would be something against which you could measure changes in star shape, focus, chromatic aberration and possibly even position. Once you figured out the parameters for your particular scope+corrector lenses+camera setup you could then use that profile thereafter.
I'd love to chat with that engineer I had heard you have one person who got a Meade SCT and started astroimaging just to learn the things we need and most astroimagers do use photoshop.

Quicktime movie as an image mask?

Hello,
I am trying to use a Quicktime movie as an Image Mask, but it isn't working. It appears that only the first frame of the movie is being used
as a still mask, rather than a moving mask. I have the channel set to Luminance. Any ideas why movie as Image mask isn't working for me?
Final Cut Pro 7.0.3
Thanks,
meeble

Hi Meeble,
What are the specs of the footage and of the sequence. Espessialy the Image Mask. What codec is it etc...
You are not working with H264 are you? It causes problems like that.

I used a third party programme called Mackeeper UGHHH,it moved loads of files to the trash now i do not know where they originally came from or belong!! the put back option is in grey??how can i manually put these files back where they belong?SO upset!!

I used a third party programme called Mackeeper UGHHH SOOO Stupid i know,it moved loads of files to the trash now i do not know where they originally came from or belong!! the put back option is in grey??and will not work even when i highlight one by one!!
how can i manually put these files back where they belong?
i know i should have used time machine but i have not set it up and its too late for that now
i have been researching and racking my brain on how to put these folders and contents of them back to where they once were all of the contents of the folder are still in tact AND i have not emptied my trash,my programmes and some of my apps are not working properly now...i use my computer alot for making music and things are jumbled up now...
is there anyone out there who knows the answer to my prayers on how to go about putting these folders/files back to where they came from to restore functionality to my mac..Yes and thank u if u were going to tell me i HAVE un installed mackeeper...A very sad and upset Mac user!! Cheers Shane

hello there thank u so much for ur reply!! ok i uninstalled mackeeper now and the put back option is still in grey im so confused...i tried restarting my computer like u said and put back still in grey??!! the files that are in my trash are everything from Accounts,address book plug-ins,address book,adobe,aim.........then stuff like apple,Audio,....to caches color pickers,colors,com.apple.TCC,to DVD player to facebook,google to ilifemedia browser to itunes to keychains to movie effects,preferences printers to skype...my Native instruments files BUT not all of them my garage band but not all of it...it seriously looks like my whole library is in the trash i tried to put things back where i THINK they belong and it just added the item or folder under where i thought it went and didnt restore functionality to for instance google chrome and all my book marks are there....they seem to be only certain things from my library that would have added some functionality to apps and programmes like my garageband is missing stuff photobooth wont work so on.......kinda looks a bit like this thats only the half of it!! Cheers shane!!!

Not user error: moving to trash moves to start of import/event

I found another thread here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5523843&#5523843 describing the issue as well, and that user had it "suddenly start working". Well, that's because it's an inconsistent problem, but it DOES happen, very often.
The problem: when reviewing images (for example in 'first double click' mode, where one image at a time is displayed), hit command-delete to send image to trash. Image is sent to trash, but the first image in the current "set" (be it either an event if editing one event, or an entire import, if working on 'last import' set), is then loaded instead of the image following the one you've deleted/moved to trash.
This is incredibly frustrating!! And yes, I've seen it work "correctly" as well, but that's maybe 5% of the time and difficult to reproduce. It seems maybe the difference is that if you directly double-click on an image, and then move THAT one to the trash, it moves properly, but that if you do some other sequence (not sure what), it doesn't. I can't reliably reproduce it, but it absolutely happens and is super frustrating.
Apple engineers, please dig a bit. Is there a case where it wraps to the first image in the 'working set' after move-to-trash because it's lost order state or something? Please fix!

One more bit of info to help track down the bug: it seems to happen especially in edit mode. You know, with the thumbnail strip along the top? It pretty much ALWAYS happens in that navigation mode.

Animated gif not moving, image.animation_mode already set to Normal

''dupe of - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932846 - locking''
With image.animation_mode already set to Normal, animated gif are not moving, it seems only the first frame is downloaded. I tried downloading the image, it also seems that only the first frame is downloaded. Then I disabled all extensions, the problem persists. Then I use a whole new profile, there seems to be no problem.
The question is, is there another hidden settings in firefox which cause this trouble? I do not want to start a new profile just because of this. (It also happens in Firefox version 13)

Do you see the animation if you check the image in Tools > Page Info > Media or open the image directly in a tab?
Some security software (firewall) can block animated images and send a normal image instead, so can try to check the advanced settings for Firefox in the firewall if the problem isn't in Firefox.

In Lightroom 3 I am in Library mode in the Grid View and need to rearrange images, but it is not allowing me to move them.

In Lightroom 3 I am in Library mode in the Grid View and need to rearrange images, but it is not allowing me to move them.

I don't do a lot of dragging to custom arrange my images. But the custom order is right at the bottom of the list of sort orders on my computer.
Added later: But don't worry about the custom order. It doesn't make any difference on my system. Are you sure you are dragging the image itself, and not the border around the image?

In bridge i select a jpg image with cntrl r to open in camera raw but get "camera raw not available" camera raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature. I can open nef. in camera raw with no problem.

Hm, what I suggested might actually be a possibility then...
Close whatever version you have open first...
I think Adobe installs shortcuts for both 32 and 64 bit Photoshop in the start menu.
If you can't find the 32 bit Start menu entry, look for the 32 executable here (changing the CS version number to whatever yours is):

TS3989 My photos on my iPhone 4 are on my camera roll and in my photo stream, but my recent photos have not moved to my photo stream folder on my computer (windows 7). What can I do?

My photos on my iPhone 4 are on my camera roll and in my photo stream, but my recent photos have not moved to my photo stream folder on my computer (windows 7). What can I do?

At 1.3GB available, your storage space is getting very thin no matter what you do further. As long as you have the photo's in the camera roll saved on your computer you can delete them. Just make sure first that they are in your photo software. If updating in iTunes, just backup/sync first, then update, and that will save the camera roll in the backup as well.
At only 1.3GB you eventually are going to find yourself unable to install or update some app, or unable to take any new pictures, or some other limitation that will force you to free up space anyway. So now, before updating, sounds like a good time to make sure everything is backed up or stored somewhere else, and clean house a bit, then update.
