Is it possible to cut a photo? I mean, not in a square, but one specific part of the photo

I need to make a Amnesty International thing for school. I found an photo of a boy with a gun. I need that boy and the gun, but i dont need the background. Is it possible to cut the boy out with iPhoto?

No it doesn't. You'll need an editor with a lasso tool for that kind of work.
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • Final Cut movie gets choppy in one specific part

    I'm using the Trial version. Both in the project and exported, the video gets choppy during one specific part (maybe a minute long). The video lags and the music cuts in and out. The rest of the video is fine, so I'm not sure what could be causing this. Has anyone else experienced this? Anything helps, thanks.

    It is a regular .mov file. It's just that it is dependent on its Project and its Render files
    and also, just purely out of curiosity, what would have happened to that render file that's missing on the computer the movie was edited on? I haven't deleted any render files, did it somehow just disappear?? Thanks!
    I have found that Render Files seem to get lost. Whether they are deleted in some way or it's just that FCE can't find them, I don't know.
    As far as opening the FCE Project is concerned, you can easily re-render to replace any missing Render Files, but I don't like Reference QT Movies (the Dependent ones) - see my recent post at:

  • Is it possible to split a song in 2 as a whole, and insert a new part in the middle?

    Im recording a song, and just realized id like to have an 8 bar drum part in the middle of it, before it kicks in to the other part...
    Is it possible to do this or do I have to cut and paste each track indivually?  There are 27 so it would be pretty time consuming this way.
    Thanks in advance.

    no, split works across any number of tracks:

    Subject : Slideshow looks bad
    Hello guys
    I have a project in my Final Cut just about done.  I want to add my slideshow as part ofthe project and burn it to DVD.  Inmy slideshow, there are some stills from the movie clips and some downloadedfrom the internet but they all look blur when playback and even worse if Iapply Ken Burn to it.   Pleasesome one can tell my how to do it right or it can’t be done because thedownload quality and stills from the clip are not suitable or slideshow.  Thank you
    PSC

    Thank you Ross.
    The entire DVD containing Quick Time movies (Final CutExpress project) and slideshow was done in iPhoto.  The Final Cut project was rendered prior to export to QT,  the slideshow was sent to iDVD withoutrendering. The slideshow with most of the pictures from my still camera incombination with stills from movie clips and some downloaded from the Internet.After burning, the movie playback is perfect but the slideshow is not.  The slideshow containing 3 differentkinds of pictures; those from my still camera looks OK; the stills from themovie clips and from the Internet are not.  I don’t have much knowledge in this game, but I think NTSCwith frame size 720x480, and the downloaded picture Item Property shows most ofthem are between 400 to 500 x 300 to 600, may be both of them are not suitablefor TV screen while the stills from my still camera looks OK because they are2048x1536.  Please enlightenme.  Once again, thank you so much,I really appreciate the time you offered.

  • Is it possible to transfer some games from an old iPad to a new one without loosing all the data?

    Is it possible to transfer some gMes from an old iPad to a new one without losing all my game's data?

    yes
    You will need to copy the whole iTunes folder which is in your user profile on the old computer in Music folder.
    Before you do it make sure iTunes are updates on the old computer and it works without any problems.
    This will copy all your media, music, movies (provided you did not change the default location).
    After the migration you will need to sing in to Apple store again with your Apple ID
    and also authorize your new computer (both done from the tom menu bar in Store.
    Once you are done please deauthorize your old computer (the same menu path) if you are not planning to use it anymore.
    Any problems post here.

    Thanks for your response and yes I understand what you are saying. Maybe you could explain why "email users" hate HTML email with a passion.
    These tend to be technical users who have a more purist attitude about email. They prefer that email be text-only, and consider HTML formatting to be superfluous for most messages. And I do think they have a point. If you have 100 plain-text emails and 100 HTML emails, you will notice that the HTML emails take up noticeably more disk space. And if the HTML email senders have loaded down their default emails with background images, signatures with corporate logos and winmail.dat attachments and all manner of embedded ornamentation, and (I never even thought people went this far) animations, then a simple email reply like "Thanks! I'll see you this evening," ends up carrying an tremendous additional amount of file size and network bandwidth overhead just to carry those six words. It not only means more disk space consumed, but it ripples all through the system: More space is required for backing up and archiving your emails, plus more mail server space and network bandwidth are consumed per message. Purists see this as an incredible waste of resources.
    The message body of at text email can simply be "Thanks! I'll see you this evening."
    The HTML version, at a bare minimum, must be
    {html}
    {p}"Thanks! I'll see you this evening."{/p}
    {/html}
    (replaced angle brackets with curly brackets so Apple Forums won't try and format it)
    Already that's almost double the amount of characters required to send the message, just to format it in HTML. And that's if no fonts, styles, graphics, or media have been applied. If they are, the number of actual characters sent balloons dramatically.
    I'm in the middle. I don't hate HTML email, I'll even turn it on when I think formatting will help my message. But I like to use disk space efficiently, so I've set plain text as my default for sending messages.

  • Hello..when I download attachments from any email..iPages opens and says some features are not supported and cuts out photos and lengthens my attachments

    hello..when I download attachments from any email..iPages opens and says some features are not supported and cuts out photos and lengthens my attachments

    What format are the attachments? If Pages will not display them properly you will need an application that does. Pages usually opens word documents but can give problems at times, if they are MS Word documents, try Libre Office or failing that you may have to purchase MS Word for Mac, maybe you will need to buy the complete Office suite.
    The other possiblity is that you already have a suitable application and Pages is loading the file by default, if so change the default application to open that file type.

  • Is it possible to resize a photo in iPhoto--controlling the maximum dimensions and the dpi?

    is it possible to resize a photo in iPhoto--controlling the maximum dimensions and the dpi?

    The dpi depends on the print size you'll be making. This explains it in detail:  The Myth of DPI.
    A 300 dpi image for a 4x6 print will have fewer pixels in it than a 300 dpi image for an 8. 10 print. 
    You can set the pixel dimension of a photo by exporting it via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option and use the Custom size setting.  However, you should crop the photo to the size ratio you want before exporting, i.e 4 x 6, 5 x 7, etc.  Then set the maximum pixel size you want for the image:

  • Is it possible to create Panoramic photos in Aperture

    I know it is possible to create Panoramic photos in PS, but was wondering if it is also possibel in Aperture.

    Imho ( ) it is worth understanding the difference between Aperture and programs like it (LR, etc.), and Photoshop.  The difference is compositing.  PS and other Graphics programs are built from the ground up as compositors.  Aperture and its cousins are Digital Asset Managers and digital photo development tools.  You use Aperture to manage your collection of digital photos, and to make any one photo into the best version possible for whatever use you have.  Then you export your digital photos from Aperture, and use them in graphics programs to create new graphics.
    In general, if you are combining things (text, geometric primitives, multiple graphic elements, etc.), you use a graphics program; if you are optimizing a photo for a particular use, you can do it using Aperture.
    For panoramas, I import the photos I'm going to use into Aperture, Stack them and add a color label (so I can see at a glance that these Images are part of that kind of series), check the WB, the export them to a temporary Finder folder.  I use Hugin to open all the exported files and stitch them together.  Then I import the panorama I created using Hugin and place it as the Stack Pick of the Stack, and make whatever additional adjustments I want for the use I have for the panorama.

  • Is it possible to store all photos in an external drive? How do I do it?

    I have too many photos to store in my MacBook. Is it possible to store all photos in an external drive and still use iPhoto (or Aperture) to view them all?

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Is it possible to create a Photo Gallery DVD with downloadable content?

    I am looking for a way to create a photo gallery, distribute it via DVD, and have the end user be able to download the photos from within the photo gallery. This would function exactly like the iPhoto web galleries, but would be distributed on DVD rather than posted to the web. Is this possible? I am looking for a way for a user to download the photos, in low res and high res, from within the DVD player.

    My first suggestion is to use Apple's Pro apps (ie, DVDSP) if you plan to use this DVD commercially. You'll get far better results and you will also be able to meet nearly all of the above objectives.
    If on the other hand you don't have the time to learn apple's pro apps which does have a large learning curve compared to the i-apps, and you are currently working with a shoestring budget, then you can meet at least some of these objectives within iDvd by adding your content to the Dvd rom section of the Dvd. The app that one uses to play the slideshow from this data section of the Dvd depends largely on the available apps on the host computer system having access to this data in terms of what software is available to play its content. Hope this makes sense but if not, just come on back. Good luck.
    Btw ... I'll check back with you later tonight since I have a fair amount of editing to do this AM.

  • How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.

    How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.

    For a variety of reasons, mostly related to security, the iOS operating system limits what can be done with respect to file uploading and downloading. But whenever you encounter a limitation like this always think, "There must be an app for this."
    Check the apps James Ward suggests.
