Isolating part of photo/texture question

Hello
I have a photo (attached) and wish to do two things with it. I hope a) to emphasise both the earthenware texture of the vase and its wooden background to give the image some contrast and b), to recolour the brown fence in royal blue. I have tried to do this using the eyedropper tool and then Image | Adjustments | Replace colour, but because the vase itself is coloured in a shade of brown I find that in addition to blue replacing brown as the fence colour, it also replaces it as the colour of the vase.
So, I somehow need to 'lift' the vase from the image, then recolour the fence in isolation, and then put the vase back into the photo - but I am not sure how to do that.
Thanks for any ideas.
Steve

As advised, the first think you need to do is sperate the vase from the fence.  You could just mask it, but much better to select the vase, and copy it to a new layer.  The Pen tool would be the best method with smooth shapes like that, but Quick select followed by Refine edge will work OK.
Then place a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer between the fence and copied vase layers, and move the Hue slider to get the colour you want.  Fine tune with the saturation and Lightness sliders.  I did the same for the Vase because red and blue, make you spew.  If you do the same think you need to clip the second Hue/Saturation layer to the vase layer byr Alt clicking the join between the two layers.
To bring out the texture use a couple of Curves layers, clipping one to the vase and other to the background.  Click on the scrubby slider icon, and click on a mid-tone of the fence or vase, (depending on which you are working on.  That places a point on the curve.  Drag this point up a wee bit, and place another point a little lower, and drag it down a wee bit.  I actually used the Topaz Detail filter.

  • Photo Storage Question

    Hi:  When I take a photo with my C3 and designate it be stored on the microSD Disk is the photo also stored temporarily on the phone's internal memory?
    Thanks, Chato
    Solved!

    Hi Farby:
    Thanks for you input. The photos in question were taken 4 months ago but the phone has only been used for a couple of hours since then. What I'm looking for is secure eraesure of photos before upgrading phone!

  • Photo stream questions, sharing, etc.

    Shared photo stream questions
    Camera Roll (CR), Photo Stream (PS)
    If I create a shared PS and share it with a friend, is this temporary like the main PS (most recent 1000 images)?
    For example, if I put one photo in a shared PS and then take 1000 new photos (but I don't add it to the shared PS), presumably it will disappear from my main PS, but will the original photo disappear from the shared PS, too?
    I noticed that each month I have a new monthly event titled, for example, "August photo stream", etc. Are these temporary, too? If I take 1000 photos in September, will the August PS event start to lose images, or will this only occur in the main PS section?
    Apple's web site says "iCloud stores new photos for 30 days, so you have plenty of time to connect your iOS device to Wi-Fi and make sure you always have your most recent shots handy." What does this mean? If I take a photo on iPhone it's permanently in CR (until I sync with iTunes on OS X and then iPhoto offers to remove them from CR), but they're also in PS, which is temporary, right? If so, as long as CR is permanent, how big an issue is the 30 day rule?
    Here's where I'm (further) confused...
    On iPad, my PS section (the tab on bottom) only has 30, relatively recent photos. Each photo was taken with iPhone.
    However, on iPhone, my PS section has 547 images. Some of these were taken as screen shots from iPad (even though they're not on iPad's PS??) Some of the images were "Save As... "  image files from OS X, some were photos imported to desktop iPhoto from a camera. Many of the images were taken years ago. On desktop iPhoto, I have over 3000 images, but the images on iPhone's PS do not appear to be the most recent 1000 images imported to iPhoto.
    So why did iPad's screen shots disappear from iPads PS yet appear on iPhone's PS?
    Why aren't the two iOS device's PS sections the same?
    Is this confusing to everyone, or am I just dense?
    Thanks!

    You are most likely using the same apple id under settings>iCloud. If you just want to stop the photo sharing you can open settings>iCloud and turn off photostream. If you want to keep using photostream and still not share you need to set up an alternate apple id to use under settings>icloud

  • N86 photo storage question.

    Is it possible to set up a separate folder in which to store photos, so they don't appear in the albums? For example, if I am using the phone like a flash drive, just as a means of transferring files from one location to another.

  • Globally changing selected parts of photo captions

    Is there a way to make batch changes to parts of photo captions? Something like "find and change" in word processing software.
    For instance, I accidentally had the time setting wrong on my camera so that AM was PM and vice versa. I would like to change the AM to PM without affecting the actual time associated with images. This will be very tedious if I have to do it manually...

    Hi Dave,
    Oh, so you have been appending the batch change entries -that explains it.
    The "Title" field can be batch changed like any other field, only you have to find and to select a suitable Metadata Preset that contains the "Title" field.
    I have changed my presets so often, that I am no longer sure, if one of the standard presets contains this field, but you can easily define your own preset, containing all fields you want to edit.
    In the Metadata tab of the Inspector Panel set the "Metadata View" selector to "Edit",
    In the "Metadata Views" panel click the cogwheel to add a new view and name it,
    From the right column of the panel add the "Title" tag to the  new View (this tag is located in the IPTC -> Status section of the Metadata Fields.
    Then use this new preset in the "Batch Change" dialogue.

  • Is there a tool to sample a photos texture and apply to another photo ?

    Hi,
    I am bringing into an old photo which is in fact a scan of a printed photo, an item selected from a recently taken photo and I need it to look as if it belongs to the old photo.
    The immediate difference is in the texture, best shown with a photo here. try viewing it also by moving head laft and right !  I can even see a regular pattern of something within the cruder pixels. I could take days to try out various filters, it may be it requires a combination of filters and given the variables involved the chances of hitting upon the right settings and the right filters is remote and it would take days. Is there a way of sampling the recipient photo and then applying the effect it sees to the cleaner looking modern photo ?
    I come across this situation all the time when one photo, even a modern digicamera one, taken by someone else, differs from another photo, unless the 'textures' can be made to match, the added in pics stick out like a sore thumb !  A photo with jpg artefacts receiving a cleaner photo is one common occurrence, try geting the cleaner one to look very jpegged, not easy.
    With all of Adobes gizmos something like this 'texture match'  is high priority for such basic tasks.

    Hi and thanks for the replies.
    C.pfaffenbichler
    This has gotten a bit confusing with trying to merge two techniques following the define pattern edit you added.
    Talking this through as a step by step, is this the way ?
    1) on source image for pattern, use selection tool and make a selection of the pattern. You say rectangular, Trevor says square, which one  matters and why ?  It seems that I have to try and find an area of uniform colour to select, what if its an odd shape ?    Trevor says use an area with an even tone, what if such an area is smaller than the image I need to 'pattern up'
    I then went edit copy and edit paste and get a new layer with the pattern rectangle.
    Having done this, is this the isolating pattern stage , I think so.
    If I follow your suggestion of  Define Pattern, I find myself following Trevors idea of making a SQUARE selection and ending up with a bucket tool set to the pattern I just defined, then to see this through, else why do it in the first place,  I dump the bucket onto a new layer and end up with a screen full of a repeating squares where I can see differences at the edges as opposed to a perfect wallpaper of the pattern..  Far more than I ned and a danger of getting the edge across my recipient image.
    Ignoring that define pattern and continuing…
    2) With this isolated pattern of just one rectangle on a new layer, I go Filters>other and choose High Pass filter…you say use a rectangular part of it, I don’t see how high pass filter can decide on a shape ? I also don’t understand the offset filter instructions at all and clone stamping over the borders.
    3) Ignoring the offset and clone stamp, I then position the layer with pattern over my recipient image and choose blend mode linear light and reduce the opacity of the layer.
    4) I then see the effect I am after though its happening to the original image behind the recipient object also, so I guess I shal have to use the recipient image and make a channel from it then use that to chop out the pattern outside of the image or simply go round with the eraser.
    Is there a way of applying the pattern to the image other than erasing away the areas outside of the image ?
      Your way certainly picks up on the repeat pattern I see,Trevors didnt work so well. . Is it aimed at seeing that fine flecking in my image or also aimed at replicating the mix of colours that make up the colour as well ?  I have tried to use Noise filter to turn a new colour I make into one looking like its a photograph, as we all know that uniform areas of colour placed in a photo look false, but I can never get noise to match the pixel colours of the photo, again is this technique best for that job ?

  • Photo album questions

    Hi, I have put several hours into trying to solve these
    problems myself, but I am stuck. The page in question is:
    http://www.georgeglazer.com/maps/newyorkmaps/hydeli/hydeliinv.html
    1. Detailregion area does not display when page opens. It's
    just a skinny gray box on the right. Once you click a thumbnail,
    however, it displays fine, and will display all the images as you
    click on them. Thinking maybe the non-working slide show buttons
    were the problem, I tried replacing the <div id="controls">
    area with the identical one from another page I have that works
    just fine:
    Why does THIS work:
    http://www.georgeglazer.com/prints/aanda/fashion/kuhninv/kuhninv.html
    BUT NOT THIS:
    http://www.georgeglazer.com/maps/newyorkmaps/hydeli/hydeliinvquicktest.html
    I've made several pages like hydeliinvquicktest.html that all
    function properly, so I'm baffled.
    2. How do I get a simple slide show going?
    The Spry Photo Album Demo shows how powerful Spry can be, but
    I don't need all that complexity, and I'm having trouble narrowing
    it down to what I need -- no multiple databases, no growing and
    shrinking thumbnails. All I want is to be able to put a bunch of
    images and one XML dataset in a folder and have the ability to have
    people click on "Previous," "Next," or "Play/Pause" in addition to
    being able to click on a specific image.
    One of the problems with the demo for me is the dataset names
    used in the demo get confusing -- I'm having trouble following the
    distinction between and relationship between when you use
    dsGallery, dsGalleries, dsPhotos, and photo, not to mention, why it
    is ultimately unnecessary to make any reference to "china" and and
    the other folder names. And since I know next to nothing about
    Javascript, I can't figure out what substitutions to make to the
    gallery.js code, which is designed to work with these multiple
    databases, and also can't figure out which pieces I need and
    whether the pieces I don't need would get in the way if I left them
    in the js doc or if everything extraneous has to be eliminated.
    3. One of the problems with implementing more Spry pages is
    the tedious work involved to make a little thumbnail for every
    single image in a set, and then make sure they're all exactly the
    same size, which is what I've done so far. I have figured out what
    to do when the main image size varies, and Spry handles that well.
    But here are my problems:
    a. What if the thumbnails vary in size? For instance, this
    hydeliinv.html page has four maps that are part of a set, but are
    all different proportions, and four details I'd like to show that
    represent what they look like close up, all of which are in
    different proportions as well.
    b. And can I have Spry call on the same image file and
    display that full size for the main image, and reduced for the
    thumbnail?
    You'll see right now in
    http://www.georgeglazer.com/maps/newyorkmaps/hydeli/hydeliinv.html
    I've set the height and width in the spry: repeat tag for the
    thumbnails to 100px. I tried just setting the height to that, and
    width to auto; I tried just setting the height to that, and
    omitting the width. In both cases, no thumbnails display at all. I
    see in the Spry Photo Album Demo the use of "path" designations in
    photos.xml. Could I do something with an XML doc that looks like
    this to address both (a) and (b)?:
    <hydeli>
    <inv_item id="1">
    <title>First Map</title>
    <dimensions1>36.5 x 34 inches</dimensions1>
    <dimensions2>37.5 x 36.25 inches</dimensions2>
    <photo
    path="hydeli1.jpg" width="390" height="400"
    thumbpath="hydeli1.jpg" thumbwidth="98"
    thumbheight="100">
    </photo>
    </inv_item>
    <inv_item id="2">
    <title>Second Map</title>
    <dimensions1>36.5 x 34 inches</dimensions1>
    <dimensions2>37.5 x 36.25 inches</dimensions2>
    <photo
    path="hydeli2.jpg" width="379" height="400"
    thumbpath="hydeli2.jpg" thumbwidth="95"
    thumbheight="100">
    </photo>
    </inv_item>
    </hydeli>
    I tried to figure this out, too, but to no avail.
    Thanks for any help you can give me!

    I understand the challenge and worked out some answers that
    support our photo gallery for the ski club. I wanted something
    simple that would support a gallery of up to 100 pictures reliably.
    Also, I wanted it to extract information from the image metadata
    such as names or descriptions.
    The image processing is done using photoshop macros which
    create the appropriate sized image and thumbnail.
    After trial and error I realized current CSS technology is
    NOT capable of vast quantities of demands from more than 20
    thumbnails. That's when I settled on hard formatting the thumbnails
    png files with a nice black border. The thumbnails load up quite
    nicely with NO style formatting. I used PNG files for the
    transparency support.
    The XML data is created using a program I wrote to parse the
    metadata from the image files. Now that all the photoshop macros
    and the XML parser is written, I can load up a large gallery in
    less than thirty minutes. (Not including photo editing.)
    Hope this helps.

  • Photo management question

    hi
    being new to the Mac environment, I thought I'd better ask this question before importing large number of photos.
    I'd like to know how iPhotos manages files. During the course of my family history research, I've created an hierarchy of folders and subfolders on my PC, all organized by various criteria. I'd like to re-create this folder structure in iPhoto, and one of the questions I have is: can I organize my files that contain those images (ie JPG files) into folders on my Mac and then point iPhoto to those folders and import them? Does iPhoto physically move those files I have or does it just create its own internal link to them, without moving the files?
    I've done a small test importing a few photos in iPhoto and when I navigate the Finder I don't see those photos appearing as files under the Pictures folder, which makes me think that iPhoto only creates its own link to the files.
    I'm also trying to figure out how to delete "untitled events" that iPhoto automatically creates, and cateories such as, "Last 12 months" etc.
    Sorry for the long winded question, but I'm sure expert users will provide some direction
    thanks
    nick

    I'd like to know how iPhotos manages files.
    That is a basic understanding that you need to come to understand - iPhoto is not in any way about managing files - it is all about managing photos - You should only import photos into the iPhoto library (not reference them in other o=lcations) and you never access the actual files - you access the photos using iPhoto or the media browser in every open/attach/upload window - see this user tip for more details
    I've created an hierarchy of folders and subfolders on my PC, all organized by various criteria. I'd like to re-create this folder structure in iPhoto,
    You can easily reproduce this in iPhoto using albums and folders (albums hold photos - folders hold albums or other folders) - start at the bottom of a treee structure and drag the foder to photos to the album section of the open iPhoto window - this will create an album matching that folder of photos - repeat for the floders at that level and the create a folder in iPhoto (file menu ==> create folder), name it and drag the jsut created albums to it - repeat as needed to complete your structure
    can I organize my files that contain those images (ie JPG files) into folders on my Mac and then point iPhoto to those folders and import them?
    You can but if yu are talking about referencing your photos it is very strongly not recommended - if youo are talking aobut importing and copying to the iPhtoo library (defaut and strongly recommended) it will take more effort than the automatic album creating noted above
    Does iPhoto physically move those files I have or does it just create its own internal link to them, without moving the files?
    It never "moves" the file - it can (and by default does) copy the file to the iPhoto library - you can change it to reference the photo but as noted above that is very strongly not recommended
    I've done a small test importing a few photos in iPhoto and when I navigate the Finder I don't see those photos appearing as files under the Pictures folder, which makes me think that iPhoto only creates its own link to the files.
    Again by default iPhoto copies the photos to its library - and you NEVER directly access the files - they and in the iPhoto library - a special kind of folder called a package - you can look in it by right clicking on it and showing package contents - but this is not a good idea - you do not access your photos that way and a small user error could destroy your iPhoto library
    I'm also trying to figure out how to delete "untitled events" that iPhoto automatically creates, and cateories such as, "Last 12 months" etc.
    You can not - thoses are not events - they are smart albums and are part of iPhoto - if you are not interested ignor them - although I think once you learn to use iPhoto you will appriciate them
    And it would be a good idea to run thorugh the iPhoto tutorials - they will save you a lot of time and frustration

  • Ambitious project with 3D Photo Montage, Questions..

    Hey guys, I've been using Final Cut for a while, I finally started putting my foot down on Motion 3 (it's been an afterthought, but when I purchased FCS 2, I knew I'd have to learn it sooner or later), and became interested in doing a 3d photo montage, cutting out my subjects from their backgrounds and breathing life into them. I'll be breaking my question down into a lame outline haha just so my question doesn't sound too broad or boring.
    The Plan-
    I'll be putting together a 5-10 minute photo montage for my sister when she gets married, and I've got plenty of time alloted to do this project.
    The Vision-Create a 3d world of photographs of my sister and her soon-to-be-husband, photographs may range up to 80 photographs. Basically animate a single photo that is cut into different layers, then fly/dolly onto the next photograph.
    The Question-Can Motion handle such a workload? (I assume yes) Or better yet, is there a workflow I should use? I hear that a Motion Project can get bogged down easily if there's too much stuff.
    Other info, these photos are coming from scans, point and shoot cameras, and my nikon d90, all mixed into an Aperture Library, rated, color corrected, etc. Then I send them to Photoshop to break down the photograph into layers.
    If you guys have ANY advice, this would be great, I want to put something wonderful together for my sis, this would be my most ambitious project yet.
    And one last thing, i did get a tutorial video from Ripple Training, the "Motion 3 Fast Forward" from Mark Spencer (awesome job man), and I did learn how to do it, my question is how far can I take it with Motion?

    Down-res your photos as much as you possibly can and you should be ok.
    Here's a 2-part tutorial on doing a 3D photo fly-through:

  • Spry photo gallery question:

    Hi,
    thanks to mr. Booth's tutorial I was able to implement a nice Spry gallery into our website. Now I want to change one simple thing: the pictures that make up the galleries are to be moved to our ftp server (as opposed to our webserver). The logical thing to to seemed to edit the base parameter in the relevant photo.xml file to something like this: base=ftp://user:[email protected]/directory/ but no dice. So the question is: how do I point the xml file to an external ftp location for the actual photos?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    you can't do cross domain requests with AJAX. going to a ftp:// would count as other domain.
    So that is not possible. Unless you create a server side proxy that reads the data from your ftp server and about puts the results.

  • IWeb Google Maps and Photo Gallery Question

    I have a Website I started to create a while back. Is there a way to insert a google map and some type of photo gallery
    into my site, now that MobileMe is gone???  I really liked the simplicity of iWeb. Is there anything else out there?
    Thanks, Eric U

    You can still insert Google maps into your site - you just need to do it as you did before the Google maps widget arrived.
    Go to Google maps and create the map you want and then copy and paste the code and place it in an ordinary html snippet and then click on Apply and the map will appear.
    Also, another tip - you could have found all the answers that you were looking for before even posting your question by searching this forum and there have been literally hundreds of posts on the same topics of Google maps and slide shows.
    Suggest you search the forum and look for posts by Old Toad and Roddy, who have found alternatives.
    You don't need to stop using iWeb - if you have it use it, but just upload to another host/server.
    There are plenty of alternative out there - again a forum search would have given you answers.
    Take a look at RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express and Flux 4.  You can download free trials of all of these and most are available for purcahse from the Mac App Store.

  • Flash Photo Gallery Question

    Hello,
    I am a photographer interested in designing a photo gallery
    website.My question is how are the special effects created in Flash
    for when a thumbnail is clicked and the photo downloads into the
    picture viewer? (such as the photo fading in , the photo is
    assembled from small blocks, the photo downloads from left to
    right, the photo downloads after a flash of light) Is there a name
    for these effects? Thank you so much, Wendy

    These are some complex components/files you can get free off
    the net:

    ImageGallery 3

    Photo Album

    Image Fader
    This particular sample is the closets to what you are looking
    for. It is XML
    driven so all the files information can be edited w/o
    changing the Flash movie.
    You can define 9 transitions along the image name and the
    rest happens automatically.
    There are many more samples online, search for stuff like
    "flash photo gallery"
    or "flash gallery", some free some shareware but definitely
    plenty.

  • Photo Frame Question

    I know that this is not an Apple Question but I haven't found a forum for this and I was curios if anyone else had run into this issue:
    I have a Sylvania 10" Digital photo frame (I do not recommend this frame to anyone. Support on it is lousy to non-existant and I am still waiting for a replacement remote control for it which I ordered in March. I am using my harmony remote to control it right now.) which displays photos pretty well. It's resolution is 1024 x 600. The issue that I am seeing that I wonder if anyone else has seen on their digital photo frame, is that when I transfer photos from the mac to the photo frame and then view them with the quick view progam, the images are corrupted. Even Disk Verify shows that the jpg images are corrupted yet the photo frame has no problem displaying them. They look normal with no corruption at all. The files on my hard drive are fine with no corruption at all. Since I won't be using the frame as a backup for my photos anyway, its not an end of the world issue but I am curious if this happens with other digital photo frames. Interestingly enough, the disk utility sees the frame as having an unknown or unspecified partition with an MS-DOS Fat 32 format on it.
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    Hello tweetybird53,
    Thanks very much for purchasing the HP Digital Photo Frame.  I regret that you are having some product and support challenges.  Please email me with your HP case number or your product number, serial number and contact information so that we can get your issue resolved quickly.
    The answer to the question, "Is there an HP service depot near where you live that you can take it there?" is no.  Currently, customers can not drop off products at an HP service center.  There is a process to follow that entails mailing in the product if it is coded for repair.  In some cases, the defective product is simply replaced.
    I look forward to assisting tweetybird53.
    Regards,
