Is there a way to make digital photos look less like video in FCP?

I know this is probably a question better suited to the Adobe Photoshop forums, but does anyone know a way to make digital photos look more like film than video in FCP? I know about watching for hotspots and such, but is there anything else I can do?
Thanks in advance,
Lloyd Lathrop

All links in the chain peddle the bicycle: in this case, I would guess your photography may suffer a bit if your colors are blown out. In assuming you have a chance to rephotograph, establish in your menu that your color temperature matches your lighting. Try K6300 for strobe, K6100 for strobe umbrella, K3100 up or down a few for tungsten: make sure your lights are at 45 degree from your photos, reflection of the camera. Your best bet is to WBalance them, and at all the same exposure, as Automatic tends to give you the neutral color and neutral value. Don't trust automatic unless you're in a pinch. You can also set in your menu a "less vivid" level, but I wouldn't trust this either.
Good luck.

Is there a way to make a photo print bigger?

I have a client who would like to create a banner that is 6x5 feet. She supplied me with a very high quality photo that she'd like printed on the banner. Ideally, it would fill up most of the banner. The file size of the photo is 670 mb. In Photoshop's "Image Size" window, it says that it's 12960 x 8640 pixels, 36 x 24 inches, and 360 ppi.
Is there some way to make this photo display larger, short of taking a new photo with a higher resolution? What happens if I up the resolution in the "Image Size" window?
Also wondering why this file would be 670 mb but only 36x24 inches in size... It doesn't seem to add up to me...
Hope someone's got some advice!
Thanks!

Sarah,
To print at 6' x 5' you need an image of between 290 and 400 dpi to print on a large format printer at a viewing distance of 2'. That close and one cannot take in the full banner/poster. At 4' viewing distance the "perfect" dpi drops to a DPI of between 150 and 200 dpi. Your image is going to print at an effective long-edge PPI of 180 when you double its current size from 3' to 6'.
12960px / 360dpi = 36 inches
8640px / 360dpi = 24 inches
That is a spreadsheet I wrote for such things. One should/has to take into account the viewing distance on large format printing.
Take care, Mike

HT4906 do not want my photos on my Mac to stream to my iPad. Is there a way to make the photo stream to be one way?

I would like for my photos to stream from my iPad to my Mac. I do not want my photos from my Mac to stream onto my iPad. Is there a way to make the stream be one way?
If this can't be done, how do I get the 1000+ photos off of my iPad onto my Mac?

1. iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Photo Stream
Uncheck the option 'Automatic Upload'. Now images won't automatically be passed on.

TD,

Is there a way to make a photo book with my iPad (new generation )

I have a number (1000's!) of pictures edited on iPhoto. Is there a way to create a photo book ( not a web book, but one that sit on your table) using the iPad iPhoto app? Can I transfer the edited version of the photos to a Computer that uses Windows?
Any advice / suggestions would be appreciated.

If they no longer show up in iCloud (www.icloud.com), unfortunately, no. They are gone.
It is possible, if you have a back up either phone (iCloud or iTunes), they may be there and could be retrieved by restoring using the back up, but I am not 100% sure of that.

Is there any way to make my iPad look COOL again?

I absolutely HATE the new look forced on me by updating to IOS 7. Is there any way to get back the cooler, more stylish, more grownup look of IOS 6? Used to be, when I picked up my iPad and hit the home button, I was happy. Now, it just stresses me out. : ( I just went into the calendar for the first time since updating. HATE it. Every day, I find something else visually that makes me not want to use my iPad anymore.

There is no going back. You can search the App Store for appropriate apps that may look better to you. Personally, I have had no problems with how things look.

Is there a way to make the keyboard "go down" (like in messages) while working in Mail?

It's challenging when I want to review an email that I've typed but the keyboard talked up 40-50% of the screen. It's nice in messages how you can drag the keyboard down. Is there a way to do this in mail?

Just I tried it on my phone and looks like you can't.

Why would you mess up the perfectly gorgeous interface to make it look obsolete and less interesting?

Is there a way to make the photos app key photo the same as on iPhoto for mac?

I set the key photos on the computer (latest OS) and they are not the same on the phone (latest iOS). I have noticed this has been an issue for the past major software updates on the iPhone. Does anyone know of a method to make them match?

I can see that becoming pretty annoying, Garrett611. We do try extremely hard to make sure you get a reliable signal in as many places as possible. Since there are places where Wi-Fi is available but there's factors beyond our control that decrease cellular service, Wi-Fi is a great alternative! If you go into Verizon Messages > Menu > Settings > there is an option to Sync Over Wi-Fi only when connected to Wi-Fi.

What is the best way to make a photo look like a painting in CS5 ?

I'd like to convert a photo into an oil painting, can you suggest the best method to do this in CS5? I'd also like to do pencil drawings as well.

I didn't follow any tutorial. It's not hard, though - just do as I mentioned with the Mixer Brush Tool.
Make a transparent layer over the original image (I'd suggest upsampling it some), then call up the Mixer Brush Tool, choose a bristle brush, and set it to Sample All Layers. Fool with the settings until it mixes for you in a way that you can make nice smooth strokes over the original. You'll be picking up color from the photo underneath and smearing it around on the top layer. If part of it doesn't come out the way you like, just erase it. Don't set up to use too many bristles; the object isn't smooth perfection, but to show some strokes.
Here's just a few minutes work with the technique...
When you're all done you can do things to accentuate the brush strokes, such as create another layer and run the Filter - Stylize - Emboss tool, then set the layer mode to Overlay blending. This gives the image some texture...
The only way to really get to know the Mixer Brush is to experiment with it. Find settings that allow you to do what you want easily. Fool with it until it yields!
Have fun!

Is there a way to make a "music" playlist that contains videos? for iCruze

Hello,
I just purchase a 5th generation iPOD video to replace an old 15GB iPOD in my wife's car. The old iPOD has worked wonderfully in my wife's car, playing audio (MP3s) with an iCruze interface to the factory stereo.
In case you haven't heard of iCruze, essentially it has a little box that interfaces to the factory stereo just like a CD changer. I can load up to 10 playlists in my iPOD (labeled 1 - 10), and then I can select them, FF, REW, etc using the factory stereo. There is also a seperate LCD module that plugs into the iCruze that shows the artist and song name from the iPOD.
Although the iCruze is a little quirky, it does a pretty good job by allowing us to select songs I want to use via the factory stereo.
So, I got a great idea. I figured I would create a new playlist with videos, and plug the video cable into the DVD player, and be able to watch DVDs from the iPOD. No more scratched DVDs, no more losing disks, etc.
Anyway, it appears the video playlists don't work with the iCruze. I created 1 playlist with just videos, but the iCruze can't see it. It can see the other 8 that just have music and play them just fine. If I manually select the movie on the iPOD, the video displays on the DVD screen, too, so I am almost there, I think...
So, does anyone know of a way to "trick" my iPOD into making a music playlist that contains videos? I tried renaming an MP4 video to MP3, but iTunes said it couldn't play the file.
Any suggestions would be welcome...

Playlists are shown under Music > Playlists or within the sidebar. Click once on a playlist name to select it and click again to start editing the text of the name, the text will become higlighted with the cursor flashing at the right hand end. It's not part of the edit playlist rules dialog, or a menu option.

Is there a way to make a picture look like it is talking?

or do you have to use some outside software for this?
I have a picture I want to use in imovie and make it look like it is speaking to someone, I think I found some outside software, but was wondering if anyone knew how to do this with the software I have? (imovie, iphoto, photoshop elements) thanks in advance! Pete

I have the 99$ version of it, which has a feature called "rotoscoping" that lets you put audio in sync to a animation. I would highly recommend iStopMotion, as there are three programs for Mac in the animation category and iStopMotion is the best one, in my opinion.
As for your other question, I am using it on Snow Leopard and, aside from a couple small glitches, it works beautifully. The interface doesn't look like it came from Tiger-- it looks like it came from ten years into the future!
With iStopMotion, you can export your projects into Quicktime movies for later importing into iMovie, Final Cut Express, or Final Cut Pro. So you could make an animation with rotoscoping and then put it into iMovie to add titles or live action.
NOTE: Rotoscoping is only included with the 99$ version, but it's really worth it to make the upgrade.
Good luck in making your movie!

Is there a way to make a tabbed form? Like an Excel workbook, have named tabs.

In Excel you can have multiple tabs with multiple pages connected to it. Is it possible to create a similar experience in Adobe forms? like how there are tabs in Livecycle to switch between Design, Master, and Preview. Can you make tabs in the form itself?
Thanks!

Here's one attempt at trying to implement tabs,

Best way to sell digital photos?

Is there a way to sell digital photos through iWeb? Or is there a way to add SmugMug to an iWeb template? I have plenty of experience with Paypal and eBay and whatnot, but digital downloads is new to me, and am not quite sure of where to start.

OK, since I last posted, here's what I've done...
In iMovie 08 (which I never use because I really don't want to learn anything new - I like iMovie HD and will stick with it) I managed to put the photos into a "movie" that is about 2 hours long (each photo shows on the screen for 4 sec. with a 1 sec. transition before and after it). Then I decided to add music, so I bought songs from iTunes and added them. Now I'm trying to burn it all to a DVD that will play on a computer where I work, which uses Windows as their OS. I can't figure out how to burn to a DVD, though. I tried opening the movie with iDVD, but it wasn't even an option. The movie title was grayed out so I couldn't select it. Now I'm exporting it to my desktop, where I can hopefully do more with it. Any suggestions on how to get this onto a DVD?
Thanks again.

Is there a way to make Apple TV move to the next video in a Vimeo playlist automatically?

Is there any way to make Apple TV play multiple Vimeo videos automatically, one after the next?
For any of you who have used a Google TV device, you know that this is the default behavior for internet videos (Vimeo included, obviously) there. It's the only thing that I miss after boxing that thing up to use my Apple TV full-time.
If there's not a way to do this, is there any hope of suggesting this behavior (and if so, who would I suggest that behavior to, Vimeo or Apple?)?
Thanks in advance.

It's a bug that has presented itself again after the update. I would provide feedback and a bug report
