Images being cropped with camera motion

not sure how to explain this, but as i progress in a video clip, the images become gradually cropped as the camera is moving. Best way to explain it is by showing a clip:
http://spencerwsmith.com/video/tree%20sweep02%20090219b-sm.mov
The camera is moving as the tree branches grow. Notice how the branch starts getting cropped on the right and left, then eventually disappears.

hi,
hard to say what's going on without seeing how the project is built, but it looks like the the layers are getting clipped in z space. It happens in my projects, that layers can get clipped in 3D space, when adding a filter or adding new elements to a layer. I find that often flattening a layer into 2D space will fix it. Note that you can still get 3Dness out of it by dropping a flattened 2d layer into a new layer and enabling 3D for that.

How to freeze image after zoom with Camera?

I just watched a tutorial on youtube on how to do what I am asking but its not working for nothing and I have wasted over an hour with this! I have 3 images positioned how I want them in "Z" space.
With the Camera I want to zoom into the first image. That part I know how to do. Once it gets to that first image, I now want it to FREEZE on that photo for a few seconds before it zooms out to the next photo. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to lock the camera on the image before it animates again! I watched the tutorial over and over again and when I try it, it won't work. It zooms into the image but then it keeps animating which looks like a long slow pan revealing the other 2 photos on the screen thats not the look I am going for on this.
Now I will add that the last of the 3 images DOES FREEZE after it animates. I am guessing because I don't have any zooms after that image.
In a nutshell this is what I do.
Select Camera and position the playhead where I want it
Press Record and select the first image which is the one way in the back
Hit my "F" key which automatically zooms into the image and frames it up
Per the tutorial the guy says to now go into your inspector and click any one of the parameters to set a keyframe. Click it once then click it again.
Move my playhead forward to where I want the zoom out to end
Select the next image and repeat the process until I am done.
If you know of another way I should do this or how I can freeze the camera from not zooming out to the next image right away, I sure would like to hear from you! I can't figure this simple thing out for nothing.

When you have more than one camera in a project, and they overlap each other, it'll export the active camera which will be the last one selected. If you only want one camera, then turn off the others.
I watched the tutorial and personally, he's fairly confusing in his explanation, and he's also wrong as well in places.
If you want to use the Frame tool to animate your camera, that's fine, but here's what you need to get it to pause.
Turn on Record Keyframes. Move playhead forward to where you want the 1st move to stop. Select picture in the layers pane and hit F to frame.
Here's the important part: SELECT THE CAMERA. Move the play head to the point where you want the new move to begin. In the inspector, OPT+click the animation menu beside the POSITION parameter. In his tutorial, he says that it doesn't matter what parameter you choose, but it most certainly does.
Then move the playhead to the position where you want the 2nd move to end. Select the 2nd picture and hit F to re-frame.
Rinse and repeat for as many pictures as you want.

I can´t save images in .jpg with "Camera Raw" software from my Elements 6.0

I have Photoshop Elements 6.0, I bought it last year and untill now, it´s OK. Now I´m beginning working with .RAW files, but I can´t save them as .JPG after I modified them with the "camera Raw" software. I can only save pictures in .DNG. ¿Could someone please tell me how to save it as .JPG?
I consider this is a basical function wich, for example, Photoshop CS3 does.
Bye.

Thank you very much for your answers.
Daniel.

The Save button in the raw converter is the DNG converter. To save in any
standard image format, you must open the image in the editor, then save it
there.

Canon CR2 raw images are forcibly cropped by Camera Raw

I posted this on the Photoshop Discussion as I did not realise that Camera Raw has its own - sorry folks!
Camera raw is cropping my cr2 images even after I have removed the crop in DPP (Digital Photo Professional - Canon's own raw editing software). I have many images cropped by a Canon 5D3 as it forces a 16:9 crop when you take a still while in video mode. The rest of the data is in the raw file, but this is not read by Camera Raw which forces the 16:9 crop. I have removed the crops in DPP, and even re-cropped with a different crop, saved the files and used every way I can imagine to get them into PS short of turning them into tiffs. I do not want to save as a tiff, as I really like the tools in PS Raw, especially the exposure tool (I am no great photographer but I have some very special and irreplaceable pics form fieldwork overseas which are ahem errr not quite correctly exposed).
My ideal worflow is open folder in DPP - star rate the pics I want to work on. crop them (nice to do this in DPP as it is part of the selection process) then get them into Camera Raw without any more effort, then if an image can be tweaked - do it as a Raw, if it needs more work - get it into PS6 as a tiff and go from there. This seems to minimise effort and minimise file space, at the expense of having two different file types.
Does anyone else work like this, or is there a better way to review 300 similar pics and get the best selected and processed? Has anyone else encounteres this refusal of Camera Raw to ignore the camera's crop? I bleive that there is a plug-in for lightroom, does anyone know a work around for PS - I have PS6 with raw 7.3.
Thanks
Gor

Oh can I, thanks . I couldn't see a way to open a tiff in ACR - It only opens when I drag a Raw image into ps6, and it has no file>open to allow me to open a tiff. In fact it is a rather strange piece of software - it doesn't seem to exist on its own (not as part of production suite anyway).
This would be a work-around for sure if you could tell me how to do it??
UPDATE
FOr anyone else with this problem you can force ps6 to open all tiffs in ACR with a setting in preferences in RAW - automatically open all tiffs. It is still a bit of a pain as i dont really want to automatically open them all, but hey!

Stop motion animation help using images from a digital camera...how tricky is this?

I'm teaching a media arts course for the first time, and I'm trying to figure out how to use images taken with a digital camera, import them to Premiere Elements 7, and put them in the timeline without having to shorten the length of them. As soon as I drag an image from the project bin onto the timeline, it automatically plays for 5 seconds, and I have to try to shorten it to one frame length. If that's what it takes, this process is going to take a lot of time, because the students are going to be taking several hundred photos. If I edit them in the preview, it's still just as difficult. Is there any way to change the settings before I import the images so that they automatically are one or two frames in length on my timeline? Your help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
As Steve points out, setting the Edit>Preferences>Still Duration BEFORE Importing, will get what you want.
When doing Stop-Motion, I find that a Duration = 3 to 5 Frames, works best, but that will depend on the images, how far apart, they were shot, and the exact effect that I want. It might take a little experimenting, to get things correct to both your eye, and to the images from the camera.
Also, Scaling the Still Images, prior to Import is a very, very good idea, and especially so, with Stop-Motion, as you will have lots of them.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - if you are using Transitions, between the Still Images, you will want to alter the Duration of those too, prior to applying them.

Images come up with crop mode 'marching ants'

If I open an image or switch between images (Ctrl/Tab) and the crop mode tool is current (not active, just the one that's currently showing on toolbar), then the image shows the 'marching ants' and I have to press Esc to get rid of them.
It starts getting annoying if I have several images open, every time I switch, I get the 'marching ants' even though I havn't said I want to crop.
Is there any way of disabling this behaviour, never used to happen on CS5.
Cheers,
Bernie

The poroblem is that the crop tool is active even if though I havn't used!
For example, let's say I have several images just opened and the current tool was the Crop tool, but I havn't used it. When I open a new image, the crop tool becomes active with the crop area showing. If I Ctrl / Tab to the other images each one wil now show the active Crop area, even though I havn't actually used the crop tool.
I've discovered that I can use the crop settings to switch back to 'Classic' mode, and that doesn't exhibit the problem, so I'll stick with that (the 'Classic' mode seems more intuitive anyway).
Thanks for your reply though.

Problem loading large DNG images with Camera RAW!

Hello,
When loading large DNGs with Camera RAW 4.4 (for example, DNG dimensions are 9984x6656) CS3 says "cannot open the image because this is not a right kind of a document". EXACTLY THE SAME file is loaded without a problem using Camera RAW 3.7 and 4.0 (did not test other versions). Have you specially prevented loading of large files? Wouldn't it be better to provide this as an option? It's a real disappointment - new version of plugin CANNOT do the thing that older versions CAN. (Simply using older version is not an option, as I need to load RAWs from new cameras, like Canon 450D).
Dear Adobe, please correct this problem :)

It might be wise to give some insight like how the DNG was created, by what version of what software, if ACR is hosted in Photoshop or Bridge... What platform you are using, how much RAM, memory allocation, etc.

I have an older imac with os10.4.11. Will it transfer images from newer digital camera using my iphoto when on the camera box it specifies a mac os of 10.5 or above?mo

I have an older imac with OSX 10.4.11. Will it transfer images from newer digital cameras on to my computer via my iphoto program when the camera box states that the required mac OS is 10.5 or above or is that only if you wish to load the camera manufacturers own image processing program?

Which camera are you speaking about?
Why are you on such an old version on OS X?
With the information provided, I am inclined to say, no.

You need to sync them in iTunes and download them there, then simply open them from the folder where they are stored in other programs.

Saving a series of images (from a smart camera) into an AVI file

Hello,
I have a lab setup in which we view brain cell deflections in a well-plate after being pressurized with air for 50ms. I have a smart camera hooked up to an IMAQ PCI card to acquire images.
I'm trying to save the series of images into an avi file, so that I can view the deflections in a slow video.
The way I have it set up at the moment takes an image and saves it in an avi pre-existing (some random .avi that I didn't need) format. But here are some problems:
1. I would like for the VI to create a NEW .avi, rather than saving it into a pre-existing one.
2. Right now, each image simply overwrites the previous one in the avi file. So the resulting avi is a 00:00 length movie with a single image (the last frame that camera viewed).
I have what I have programmed attached. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Here is an updated version (attached). I kept trying to incorporate the examples you showed me, and I have made a little bit of a progress.
It now saves a new avi file, and it's not a single image movie anymore. It's got as many images as I run the VI for. BUT, it only saves the very first image the camera takes and just loops it over and over again until I press stop. So the resulting avi shows a still image of the very first view of the camera for however long I ran the VI for.
Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
Thank you,
B.J.

Possible GPU Issues With Camera Raw 6.6

Over the past day on my Windows 7 x64 workstation I've done some updates. Specifically:
The Adobe updater brought in Camera Raw 6.6, replacing 6.5.
I updated the to the ATI Catalyst 11.12 display driver version from previous version 11.11.
I allowed Windows Update to apply the dozen or so changes that were pending.
I was just doing some OpenGL testing with Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 x64 and I noticed that under some conditions I saw Photoshop drop out of OpenGL acceleration. Specifically, when I opened a Canon 5D Mark II image through Camera Raw I saw subsequent operations stop using OpenGL acceleration even though the checkmark remained in the [ ] Enable OpenGL Drawing box in Edit - Preferences - Performance.
What I did to determine whether OpenGL acceleration was enabled was this: Select the Zoom Tool, then click and hold the left mouse button on the image. When OpenGL is enabled, I see a smooth increase in zoom. When it goes disabled, I see only a jump in zoom level after letting up the mouse button. Also, the [ ] Scrubby Zoom box gets grayed out. As I mentioned, even in this condition, a check of Edit - Preferences - Performance still shows OpenGL enabled.
Just as a control, I saved the converted file as a PSD, and every time I opened THAT file (with a fresh copy of PS CS5 running) and did the same operations I could not reproduce the failure. The difference being I did not run Camera Raw.
Since I wasn't specifically looking for issues with Camera Raw, I am not sure that the problem occurred every time I did run Camera Raw. I do know that when I open images from my own camera (40D; I do not own a 5D Mark II) that the problem doesn't seem to occur. Notably I always open my image from Camera Raw to the largest possible pixel size - 6144 x 4096, as I did with the 5D Mark II image, so it's not an obvious size difference that's leading to the issue. Given other comments of late, I'm wondering if it could be a specific issue with conversions of files from 5D Mark II.
Nor am I sure whether any of the above updates caused it - it might done this before; I don't regularly convert 5D Mark II images. I DO think I would have noticed Photoshop reverting to GDI operation before, since I just noticed it pretty easily, but I'm not completely sure of that either. I do use OpenGL-specific features (such as right-click brush sizing) pretty often.
I'm trying now to find a set of steps with which to reliably reproduce the problem now, and will advise.
-Noel

Figures. Now I can't reproduce the problem at all, even after an hour of testing. It probably had nothing to do with Camera Raw.
I wonder if there are latent GPU status indicators and config values stored by Photoshop based on its specific environment that might not be right for the first run (or first few runs) after a display driver update. Hm....

Trouble with camera raw 6.7

Hi everyone,
I'm on Mac, Photoshop CS5,1 all updated ok.
I have a new problem after processed an image from Bridge to Camera Raw, when I click "Finish" and I return to Bridge, it doesn't take into account changes made in Camera Raw and I do not have the 2 icons that tells me that the image was cropped and processed.
I purged the cache for bridge, and by running Bridge with the option key pressed, it still doesn't work.
Sometimes it works once time, other times it is necessary to restart the computer.
I completely uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop from the DVD the problem persists
Has anyone had this problem ? any solution ?
Best regards
Pascal

How did you get the software to install it? Via the Help - Updates menu in Photoshop?

Can't delete images when importing from camera

I use Nikon Transfer to import images from my digital cameras but now I can't delete the images from the card once transferred. I've also tried Image capture but Delte is greyed out. It seems like a Permissions thing but I'm not sure how to check.
thanks

What he says is +"you want the image being shown to be exactly sized to your screen. Images from almost all modern cameras are much larger in pixel dimensions than your Mac's display, so they will be interpolated down to fit. When they are resized on the fly through interpolation they never look as crisp or pristine."+
The title of the piece is +"Resize Images for iPhoto Slideshows".+ He is talking about you resizing photos before you import so they will match the screen size during the display of a slide show on the screen - not iPhoto changing anything during the import of the photo but during the display of it - This is a bit like the cropping during printing questions - if you want to control exactly have is being shown (or printed) rather than use a generalized scheme to make photos fit a non native size then you much do the changes yourself
I'm sure that he is correct but since I use iPhoto as a photo library manager which lets me show quick and easy slideshows, I have no problem - *my original, unaltered photos are there in iPhoto* and available for use as I see fit - the degree of modification that takes place in the display of a slideshow has never even been noticeable to me - but then I do not see iPhoto as a single purpose slide show viewer - in fact that is a very minor feature for me
