Magnifying sections of an image with a faux lense

This is one of the best tricks I've seen yet, though I have
no clue how it was accomplished. If anyone can suggest how it was
done I would be very thankful. I am a teacher who uses Flash in a
variety of ways to motivate my students. Please visit this site and
view the action.

- you can then contact me at [email protected] with
comments.

Thanks so much - I had not been to that site before, so I am
sure I will find a few things to add to my website.

Enlarged images with built-in magnifier do not load properly as they did in F3, chrome etc.

www.mohlitz.com uses thumbnails which click to give enlarged image with built-in magnifier. Works ok with all other browsers inc F3 but now when pointer hovers over image it goes white instead of showing magnifier F4

Create a magnifying glass on an image.

I am pretty new to Flex. I am trying to create a magnifying
glass for an image viewer. I want to move the cursor over an image
that will zoom in on a 200X200 area. I don't want to zoom in on the
whole image. I can see I can probably do it with the Bitmap class,
but I do not see how I can cut out a piece of the original bitmap
to display. Also, Flex seems to have a lot of similar features like
Zoom, but I can't see how to use any of these cool features to do
just what i want to do. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

The way I do this in Flash is to have a masked enlarged image
on a seperate layer with the magnifier acting as the mask. The mask
object is draggable, so it reveals to larger image as you move it
around. There is some math involved to make it track like it is
actually revealing the smaller image.
The layering looks like this:
mask object
large image
small image
mask is a property of flash.display.DisplayObject and
mx.core.IFlexDisplayObject. I haven't played with this yet in Flex,
but I'm sure it should work similarly to what I've used in
Flash.

Images with Transparency Cause Rendering Bug in Acrobat

Try this at home: Export a file containing an image with transparency to PDF and open it in Acrobat (any platform, any recent version): the page containing the image will have all text rendered in what looks like bold or faux bold, depending on the font. The document looks fine in Preview and printed (even from Acrobat).
Can anyone else reproduce this? I get this behavior consistently.

Hi bdepaepe, I've had a look and I believe I have experienced the error you mean and solved it.
The reason this occurs some of the time, but not always is because the source code is not the same each time, as the adverts change every refresh. The error only happens when two of the < div> tags of class 'banneritem' which are on top of each other have a height of 84px each as opposed to 80px (although even if this is the case the rendering issue doesn't always happen).
The reason that some of the 'banneritem' < div> tags have a height of 84px is because inside them there is an <a> tag which contains an < img> tag, and the <a> tag has not been set to 'display: block;'. <a> tags are inline elements by default, so shouldn't be used to hold block level elements such as images unless the styles for the <a> tag include 'display: block;'.

Pixelated images (with High Quality Display turned on)

Here's my problem: The images look sharp on the internet, but when I download them, place them in Indesign and print them, the look pixelated!
Take this one for example: http://media.smashingmagazine.com/images/typefaces/productus.gif
It's resolution is 72 ppi. But when I place it onto the Indesign A4 page (or Letter format for that matter) it occupys almost entire width of the page.
Why is it so? Why is it so big by default without enlarging it? It's kinda logic that a small 72 ppi image stretched across the whole page will appear blurry when printed on 300 dpi printer.
So how can I set the indesign page to 300 ppi/dpi so images with lower restion will appear smaller when placed on the page and - will be printed sharp?

Where can you specify this preference?
And you mean there's a script for InDesign? Wow, it would be cool to get it. So far I solved that problem by recording an Action in Photoshop and than apply it to all the images using Batch command.
Preference is down at the bottom of the File Handling section ... Check the bos to preserve dimensions and a the relinked file will be scaled back to the same size in ID. Uncheck, and the scale percentage will be preserved.
Almost anything is scriptable in ID (but I don't write them). I recall a script that was posted a year or two ago that would allow you to select an image and type a desired effective resolution into a dialog. The image would get scaled to reach that effective ppi. Your batch action in Photoshop is fine, and useful if you want to palce everything at 100%, but it isn't required to change the resolution in Photshop to achieve what you want. Scaling in ID is exactly the same thing as changing the resolution without resampling in Photoshop. No pixels are added, removed or altered -- only their dispalyed size is changed. If you want a script to set all images to 300 ppi effective resolution, you should probably pay a visit to the scripting forum.

How to change the color of same coloured sections of an image according to the colorpicker..?

Hi.. How r u all..?
I'm doing a small program to change the color of those sections of an image which are having the same color, according to the color selected from the colorpicker..
Say we have selected a color from the colorpicker, and then the mouseclick event on the image changes the color of those parts in the image which are having the same color as the clicked portion (or pixel) to the selected color.. If we've selected FF0000 from the colorpicker, then clicked on 3300CC coloured pixel in the image. This should change the color of all the 3300CC coloured pixels in the image..
I've a colorpicker [colpickr] and a movieclip [mc] of the image on the stage. I created a bitmap of that same same image (imag1) using code. Selecting the color from the colorpicker and a mouse click on the movieclip (here I used getPixel) will change that color in the bitmap to the selected color (with setPixel). So here I've two images; one is a movieclip (inorder to add listener for click event) and one is a bitmap (inorder to set the property setPixel). But I need only a single image.
Please help me regarding this.. Given below is my (horrible) code..

Magnify sections of a 8x10 document

I am looking for a way to magnify section of a page. I am
okay with the page appearing very small as I am interested in
magnifing a section at a time to give detailed description. Any
advise?

Hi again Trenten2
Basically here is how it works. You insert the zoom area and
you get two areas on the screen. One is the area you are
magnifying. The other is the area that will display a larger view
of what the other area is over. The level of magnification is
determined by the difference between the two areas. So if the area
you are zooming is a lot smaller than the area where the larger
view shows, you get more magnification.
You will likely have to just play with it a bit to get the
hang of it. Just create a simple one slide project and experiment
until you are comfortable.
Cheers... Rick

Is there a way to open image with another phogram outside photoshop?

Hi
i have cs6 and bridge cs6 ,windows 7 64bit
is there a way to open images with another program then photoshop?
for example a script or other ways?
i'm talking about jpg,raw files for example
for example i would like to send 4 photos to ptgui or other programs
thanks

PTGui Pro should appear in your 'Open With' list bottom section, at least it shows on my system (Mac)
Be aware that PTGui can only handle jpeg, tiff and PNG and it only handles Raw files using the DCraw converter (Open source originally developed for Linux).
Only applications that support the particular file type you select appear in the Open With list.
And on a Mac I can drag and drop jpeg and tiff from Bridge to the project assistant.

How to set color space to JPEG image with Java advance Imaging

How to set color space to JPEG image with Java advance Imaging.
is there any API in JAI which support to set color space.

I'm definately no guru, but this is how you can change it.
CTRL + ALT + Click on the part of the component that you want to change. This brings up the Hidden Dom Inspector, background of component will be surrounded with a red outline (Make sure the red outline is surrounding the part of the tabset you want to change), Now you go to properties sheet and click the ellipses next to rules property this will pop up a dialog you look in this list (At the top) to see the default style classes that are affecting the rendering of the component outlined in red. (You will be able to select different sections of a single component) then you just rewrite the style class that you want to change in your Stylesheet (You will not find the styleclass that you want to change because it is a part of your theme .jar but as long as you name it exactly the same and place in your stylesheet it will override the theme .jar style classes) it's actually very easy -- you were right should be a piece of cake for a guru. Don't have the link handy but you can check out Winston's Blog on changing Table Formatting to get this information...It is EXTREMELY useful if you want your apps to have a custom look and not default that comes with Creator Themes.
Hope this helps you out God knows others have helped me alot!

Rotating Images with Java 2D

Im working on a program that requires the use of rotating images. I am using AffineTransformation to rotate and translate my BufferedImages. I have a problem when I rotate, I have a picture posted bellow of sample code and it's output.
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p64/roryfenrir/tankhelp.png
I four images, back (a solid color background, will not be solid in final product); tread and base, both get rotated together; and top, which rotates seperatly from the others.
My problem is that when an image is rotated, it takes a section of the background with it even though its a seperate image. Im wondering how to fix or get around this problem. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I would really like to get this down.
Thanks.

It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image, the guidelines are not locked, it is annoying to have to lock them down again. and it would actually be nice, to ba able to give specific directions when placing the guidelines.

Then why are the guides unlocked when I reopen a document that I saved with the guides locked ?

Bridge CS4 won't output to pdf multiple images with same filename

Hiya...my googling efforts have thus far failed!
I've got CS4, and in Bridge, I created a New Smart Collection to find all filenames in a folder containing "." or ".jpg" - which in turn searched through all the subfolders like what you used to be able to do in Photoshop CS3. Very simple stuff, but all the images are jpg's, but in multiple folders (I don't want to move them out of the folders, as the files came from an external source, and there are heaps of folders, and I don't want to pdf each subfolder seperately as it will take forever).
The problem is that some of the files have the same filenames (again I'd prefer not to rename, as it happens a lot on this project, and they are all over the place). So whilst Bridge will show the thumbnail images correctly in the content tabbed screen in my New Smart Collection, but once I've done the Output to PDF thing, for example, instead of showing both different images it has pdf only the first image but repeated it twice. And this happens multiple times throughout the pdf, the more times the same filename is used, the more times the first image gets repeated.
I know that it is messy to have multiple similar filenames, but why can't bridge just place the image anyway? It allocated a space for it on the pdf and does show it in bridge, it just doesn't seem to survive the transfer to pdf well.
The only other thing that I have done is use the below link (which was posted on another adobe forum thread) to create a custom pdf output template (nothing too fancy, just number of rows / columns, size, font etc). But I've tried using the standard bridge templates and it does the same thing.
http://www.proficiografik.com/2009/08/03/save-custom-pdf-output-template-in-adobe-bridge-c s4.html
Any help would be appreciated...even if to tell me that I am being unreasonable!
UPDATE 16/11/09
Just to let you know that I seem to have resolved the bug inadvertently with one of the Adobe updates. The below is the link for the AdobeOutputModule-2.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.zip which was released on 2/19/2009 - which allows for headers & footers to be placed in the Ouput pdf. I finally installed it today, and everything seems to be working fine now (i.e. I can pdf multiple images with the same filenames and the pdf will actually show each different image rather than repeating only 1 of the images).
Must have been a fix installed in the contact sheet templates that get installed with the update - not sure why the original version was corrupted, but I've left that with the Adobe guys (I submitted a bug report - and they were able to replicate the problem but hadn't fixed it as yet).

When I click import from disc I am asked to choose a disc and then I get this message:
The following photos will not be imported because they are already present in the catalog. To see these photos in the catalog select 'Show in Library' (the import will be canceled).
This is followed by a long list of images. If I click 'Show in Library' I can see all the images with the same filename. And then they start to automatically write over those images with images from the disc. However they keep the same metadata and keywords from the previous images. If I click on Import and deselect the "don't reimport suspected duplicates" box, it imports only the images that don't share filenames and none of the images that do.
Is there a way of setting the "Don't reimport suspected duplicates" box in preferences?

Image with text

I have created an image with text (map with town names). The
text is 12px Verdana bold. When I export to a gif (only a few
colors) and show on a page I want to get the text to show clear
when the page is resized. But it does not it becomes more obscure
as it gets smaller. I have the image which I have styled
{width:100%;height:100%;} to stop the image expanding the td it's
in.
Can anyone advise how best to achieve good font clarity in
images that may be resized?
thanks.

Use Flash format, which is scalable. GIF's are not scalable.

Not great images with new 6D. Please take a look and give me your thoughts

I'm going on a 2 week trip to Japan in 3 days so I'm hoping to figure this out before I leave.
I got my new 6d with 24-105 L lens kit, and also the 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM. It doesn't seem like any of the photos are that sharp without a very high contrast shot in full sunlight. Indoor shots or those with lower contrast (tree bark, leaves, something in the shade, etc.) seem pretty unsharp to me. I'm not sure if the AF just can't get a precise focus, or if the sensor just can't get good detail unless those conditions are met.
This is my first DSLR, although I've had film SLRs for 30+ years before that, and digital point and shoots for the last decade or so. I'm not sure if my expectations were too high or if there's something wrong with the camera, lenses, AF, or IS systems, or if I'm doing something wrong.
Some photos are below. I shot them all above the 1/focal length rule and some 2x or 3x or more above that, so in theory that would eliminate the camera shake issue, and also in theory the IS system should give you 2-3 stops so it doesn't seem to me that camera shake should be the issue. (I've also taken tripod shots and had the same issue so I don't think it's camera shake.)
All are large fine jpegs (20mb) straight from the camera, blown up to 100%.

Other than the truck badge and maybe the wall photos (high contrast, full sunlight), most of them don't seem that sharp to me. What do you guys think? Most people are raving about how good the low light performance is on the 6d but I'm just not seeing it, not even in moderate light.
Here's a link to where someone compares a few different cameras one of them being the 6d. My images are not as sharp as them as far as I can tell.

Google videos are your friend. Google Videos is/are better than youtube because they include all of youtube plus everything else.
You would be amazed how many user-created demos/tutorials/tips videos are out there. Even more amazing is how specific these videos are. Specific to your model number of camera, of flash, of lens. Specific to your particular tiny issue about Lightroom or Photoshop or whatever.

The Digital Picture has great reviews, plus a unique lens comparison tool (ACTUAL IMAGES!) in their "TOOLS" tab.
Lens Rentals contains Roger C's very well-informed, well-respected, and VERY witty commentary on lenses.
Cambrige in Colour gives a nice, refreshing and very civilized British sensibility to things, and is welcoming to beginners, and has good short writings on basic digital photography concepts.
Canon Rumors tells you (sometimes) when new equipment is coming out, and has a lively forum that is less flame-y than Nikon Rumors.
