Making a line image sketchy

Hi,
I can render out from my 3d software as line/contours such as in this link;
http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/681/3dword.png
But I want the render to look sketchy such as the renders produced from SketchUp;
http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m257/beyondblog/sketchup-office.jpg
I have tried the filters currently in Photoshop but not happy with the result. Could anyone suggest a plugin?
Many thanks!

The first problem, will, is that you are trying to generate new 3D information from what is essentially a 2D image. The text is in perspective but since you are bringing it into PS as an 2D image, there is no way for PS to recognize the 3D-ness of the image.
The second problem is that PS, unless you have the Extended version, is essentially a 2D image editor.
Given those two problems, here are some ideas:
- Do everything in a 3D program. You mentioned Sketchup and it has a free version so that could be an option.
- Fake it in Photoshop. This could range from the pretty easy:

How to select multiple in-line images

Is there any way to select more than one in-line image at the same time so that transformations and object styles can be applied in bulk rather than individually?

A Find/Change might speed it up using the Object interface.

Printing or Editing Off-Line Images

Hi,
I am looking for the best way for editing or printing images that have been previously moved/archived to CDs/DVDs when using PSE 3/4 Organizer. As I understand it once you bring back an image to edit it, the archived version is brought back online., and the one on the CD is basically removed from the catalog. Is this correct?
How does all this work if you are dealing with Version Sets, all of which have been previously archived to CDs?
What if you only want to bring an archived image to print it? In this case, is the high resolution image just temporarily loaded to make the print? I vaguely remember that the answer to this is yes, but I am not positive.
And what if you wanted to make a slide show but did not want to start with the resolution of your proxies?
I do know that I can go and find the answers to each one of these questions myself, but I am hoping to save a little time and possibly screwing up somewhere by asking the question before trying things out. I am also interested on how others are doing the above.
TIA
Don S.

Barb,
Thanks so much for the simple solution. I have tried it and it seems to do just what I want. Let me list the steps to make sure I did what you said.
1. From the Organize mode, I select the off-line photo
2. Click on Go to Standard Edit. I get the message re. picture is no considered on-line.
3. After the image is oopened in the Editor, I go back to the Organizer, click on the Undo arrow. The gold CD icon on the picture, which was not there now comes back, but the red strip with the lock is still over the photo.
4. I go back to the Editer, make my changes and then use Save As with a new name.
5. I close the photo in the Editor, and automatically am taken back to the Organizer, where there is no red stripe, but now two photos in the Photo Bin, the one off-line with the CD icon in the top left corner, and the edited version right next to it that is on-line.
To be honest, I only did Steps 1-3. I am presuming that Steps 4-5 would be as stated. Is this how the whole process works?
PS I did confirm that when you bring an off-line image back in to print it, it is only brought back temporarily and is still considered an off-line image after being printed.
Again, thanks for your initial answer Barb. I now need to see how Version Sets affect the above, if at all.

How to insert an in-line image into a table cell using Pages on OS X?

How can I insert an image into a table cell using Pages (OS X) without it becoming the cell background? I want it to be a regular in-line image, but can't figure out how to do this for the life of me. Thanks!

Welcome to Discussions.
To insert an image into a cell, select the cell, then go to the Graphics Inspector and from the Fill drop down choose Image Fill and then select then image you want. You can now select from a new drop down how you want the image to fit.

Illustrator: Pixelisation when making my Logo Image Smaller

Hi There,
I am a hardcore Photoshop nut lol but I have recently approached learning how to use 'AI' to create my company Logo so that It can be Vector based and therefore Re-size it according to web and print as needed.
You've proberly encountered this problem lots of times and i'm proberly being really silly, but I am having major problems re-sizing and it, causing pixelization on my Image, esp when going to 'Save for web and Devices'.
I did have 'drop down shadow effects' on the Logo but I believe I have deleted all of that in Appearences, Incase it is the raster effects causing the problems... but even back at its seamingly basics, I'm still having the same problems.
I tried making the Image smaller using the 'scale' & 'transform' tool before taking it into 'Save for Web and Devices' and even on my artboard it now looks pixelated..
My Artboard size is 1200 x 1200 and in 'Save for Web and Devices' it says the Original Image size is 800 x 600 (which I believe is the size of the document I chose when starting my project)...
I tried Playing with the PPI in the 'Document Raster Effects' settings, this doesn't seem to be making a difference.. Infact I'm sure playing with all the settings has almost caused my edges already to not be as sharp in view: 100% (RGB/Overprint preview) as they once were and I don't think I have the original document to go back too, due to thinking the Logo was fine, before relizing I had a problem in resizing & saving.
I have tried all of the save options in 'Save for Web and Devices' but still the Image looks pixelised, even when ignoring previewer and going ahead to re-opening the saved Image.
I'm using Adobe Illustrator CS3 if that's any help..
Any help anyone can give me, Id be very greatfull, I've spent hours trawling the web tirelessly without any result and after being so happy with the Logo, it would be such a shame to have to delete it and try and start all over again either in Illustrater or back in Photoshop (where I know the quality won't be as good)..
A massive Thanks to anyone who can help with this..

Making sure attached images and signatures appear in the body of sent email

The subject line says it all. I would like recipients of my mail to see the attachment/image or signature, within the body of the email where I have placed it.....or not if I so choose. Is this possible to control from the sender's end?....or is this also influenced by the receiver's mail settings and platform?
I know there are many posts that dance around this issue, but I have not found one that nails it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

The Mail.app displays all image/photo and single page PDF documents inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default. Depending on the recipient's email client and available preference settings, such attachments may appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default when the message is opened (as with the Mail.app) or as attached files only for which the sender has no control over.
If the recipient's email client is not the Mail.app but displays image/photo attachments inline or viewed in place, the attachments may not appear exactly where you placed them.
The only way to do what you want or get as close as possible is by using HTML formatting with embedded images and/or objects and no Mail.app version includes an HTML composer/editor.
RTF with Tiger Mail is HTML which allows for forwarding a message received that was composed in HTML keeping all intact. With Tiger, you can use the HTML editor/composer of choice with embedded images/objects, etc. and save the completed document.
Open the saved HTML document with Safari and at the Safari menu bar, go to File and select Mail Contents of This Page. A new Mail.app message will be launched and the HTML document viewed with Safari will be copied to the message which will be sent in its entirety.
You cannot do this with Jaguar or Panther Mail.

Making a 300 image "movie"

My project is to make a DVD containing 300+ still images (from a digital camera) with timed music with 4 chapters. I'm using iMovie 09 and iDVD 09. I know iDVD can do slide shows but I have too many stills. I authored the show in iMovie 09 but when I get near 100 stills (with transitions, Ken Burns & other effects) in the project, iMovie gets a little unstable, slows down and sometimes crashes from writing too many "commands" to the "assembly file" (for lack of better words). So I make 4 separate iMovies and it stays very stable. I want the entire show to "play all" AND want to be able to pick the 4 chapters from a DVD sub-menu.
If I "share" the iMovies to "large media browser", I can import them into iDVD but it won't play all 4 in sequence as one show. I can drop each iMovie into a 4 cell iDVD "slide show" and they can play fine but I have no chapters and no ability to "PAUSE" or "FAST FORWARD". The image quality is great going from iMovie - share to (large) browser - import to DVD - and author using "High Quality" setting for the 70 minute show.
So to get chapters, I exported the 4 individual iMovies to a QT container using AIC (960x540). Then I re-import them into a new iMovie project, place them in sequence and place my chapter markers. ( I don't own QT Pro.) This will "sew them together" to one big movie with markers. Then send it direct to new iDVD project, set up my chapter sub-menu and burn a disc. The image quality is much degraded and noticeably poorer when the DVD is played. I tried exporting the 4 mini-movies using H.264 "Best Quality" codec and I get the same thing - poor image quality. .dv export wouldn't be any better, I'm thinking.
Took weeks to make the 4 individual iMovies, so I can't start over in iMovie (HD) 06, which I still own.
What am I doing wrong? I thought exporting and re-importing would be close to "loss free". Would you suggest doing my "sewing" and chapter marking in iMovie 06 and send it to iDVD from there? Does iMovie 09 drop alternate scans when exporting to QT?
Again, sending one of the mini-movies to media browser for iDVD and the images look great even when I use "Best Performance" instead of "High Quality". Export and re-import in iMovie 09 and it looks "crummy" (technical term for an expletive). Also noticed a little drop in audio volume in the movie compared to the menu music volume. Is this an expected result of my double path process?
TIA for your expert suggestion of how to do this. Thanks

.. QUESTION: When does iMovie 09 drop alternate scan lines? At ALL exporting? (Even to QT?)
it drops..
• NOT on import = all clips in Events contain 100% quality, whatever you do in Projects..
• NOT if you use speed, dissolve or fade ONLY in a Project
• ALLWAYS, if you use any OTHER 'effect' (e.g. page curl, a map, a background, any title), on ANY clip in the Project.. therefor on any export setting
the intended workflow is, you shouldn't export manually, but Share to MediaBrowser (=which creates a 540/h264file.. ), which appears in the Media/iM tab in iDVD.. you've tried that way?
did I mention my suade .. ?
consider:
• iDVD creates videoDVD, which has - by standards - 720x480.. a fraction of your original pics and what your Mac's screen offer..
• watching such a disk on a computer or HiDef-flatscreen in 'fullscreen mode' means, each pixel gets zoomed by some factor of up to 4 .. => 'blocky', pixelated look.
• for finally judging pic quality, you should use a 'tube'/CRT TV ..

Encoding process isn't working properly while making the disk image (or DVD)in my iDVD program. Is there a remedy for this?

I've used Old Toad's suggestion and made a disk image first because the DVDs I've tried to produce show a few pictures in playback and then go white. The slideshow works fine in the iDVD program, and in the initial rendering stage all seems o.k. until the encoding step. Then, it processes 4 or 5 pictures, then goes blank but the music continues to be processed. Is there a remedy for this (I know Apple has ditched the program and the optical drives.) I deleted the project and tried making it over from scratch, but no luck.

I am simply lookig for some help not an argument. I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts. I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another. As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP. This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue. I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion. In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues. I am able to browse the internet as much as I want. I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems? Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best? BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time. Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. -- Thanks

Off-line images are impossible to re-connect!

I have about 4,000 images in my referenced library that I can't seem to re-connect. I've tried to simply reconnect in the Manage Referenced Files dialog box. But unfortunately the reconnect and Reconnect all buttons are still grayed out. I've also tried to change the location of the files and then performing the reconnect, but the files still can't be reconnected.
Please help!

Ian,
Thank you very much!!! This worked!!!!!
I went to Manage Reference Files, then I navegated to location of one of the 4000 files and like previously the Reconnect and Reconnect All buttons were grayed out. But as soon as I pressed the Alt/Option button the two buttons miraculously appeared. A few seconds after pressing the Reconnect all button they are all now On-line.
Thanks again.

Tip - making and sharing Image Presets

Someone over on Aperture Professional was asking why Aperture doesn't have image presets you can download like you can for LightRoom.
So, here's a quick guide to making image presets which can be shared with other people.
Setting up:
1. Make a new Project, call it 'presets' or similar.
2. Find a fairly normal/average image which looks OK without any adjustments applied.
3. Copy it to the new Project.
4. Make multiple Versions from your standard image.
5. Go to each Version, and apply a series of adjustments for a particular look such as tweaked contrast, cross-processing, high-key, B&W conversions etc.
6. Give each Version an appropriate name.
7. If you make lots of presets, start sub-dividing them into Albums as needed.
Set-up is done.
Usage:
1. Click on the Project or Album you are working on.
2. Option/Alt-click on the presets Project so that it opens up in a second browser pane. You may want to drag the divider over so that the presets Project doesn't take up much screen room.
You now have a series of preset Version thumbnails visible, applying them to your working images is a standard lift-n-stamp away.
you can also share the presets by exporting the Project, which won't be much larger than the Master image that is in it (assuming you've turned off Preview generation for the Project). To make it even smaller, use a referenced Master and don't consolidate it when exporting the Project, but note that people won't be able to add their own presets to the Project.
I'll probably set up some of my own over the next couple of weeks and upload the resulting Project for people to carry on adding their own presets.

How to stop mkinitcpio from making a fallback image [solved]

I have never needed to boot to my fallback kernel image so I am wondering how to stop mkinitcpio from making one.

I have never needed my car's airbags, but that doesn't mean I want to remove them.
If you are determined, you could take a look at /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset.
(edit) You could probably have figured this out for yourself. I just looked it up in the wiki. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mk … figuration
