Merge a photo and pen strokes into a single image

Good day.
I need to add a Camera and Pen control so that I take a picture, and then write with the pen above it. Is there any way to merge both photo and pen strokes into a single image, so I can stored them in a collection??
Thanks,

You cannot merge them into one physical image, but you can still store them in a collection for later display.  Collect them, just like you would anything else, just store the photo as one name, and the pen as another. 
Where you want to display them, just use two image controls, directly above each other.  Set one to the photo, and one to the pen.

Thanks, I stored the photo url and strokes in the same collection, and then I did what you suggested: two image controles, one above the other. Thanks!

  • How do I get my photos and music back into new version iTunes from my iPad?

    I have the new version of iTunes (11 0 2 26) for Windows which installed over my old copy. I see none of my music etc even after it claims to have synced and backed up. How do I get my photos and music back into iTunes from my iPad? It syncs OK with calendar and contacts from Outlook and I can force copying of apps and books but why does it not show music and photos in the iTunes library? help please.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • I want to cut out a head from a photo and insert it into another photo again. In the head hair flying in the wind and the blue sky can be seen between the hairs. This blue sky I want to remove, so I can only use the head with hair flying in another photo.

    I want to cut out a head from a photo and insert it into another photo again. In the head hair flying in the wind and the blue sky can be seen between the hairs. This blue sky I want to remove, so I can only use the head with hair flying in another photo. Is it possible to simply delete this blue color of the sky?

  • How can I take text from a webpage that is in multiple rows and move it into a single row in Excel?

    I need help figuring out how to take data from internet pages and enter it into one single row in an excel, or numbers if that is the easier way to go.  I was also told access might be good to use.  Basically I am going to chamber of commerce page and wanting to extract the member listing and enter in a database in a single line.  The  data is in different numbers of lines as you will see below (info edited to take out personal info). So I want to take the  name of business, business owner, address, city, state, zip, and phone and put it into one line on a spreadsheet.  I want to do this many times over. I think there is a way to do it through apple script and automator, but I have not been successful after 2 weeks of trying and searching.  I have over 800 listings and I surely don't want to go through and do them one at a time.  Any suggestions?

    I want it to look like this
    Company name, owner name, address, city, state, zip, phone
    How can I get the extra data out of the way and remove the format so that it will go into excel?  Thanks for any help you can provide.  I am not to savvy with code, but I got a friend who is an IT guy that can help.  Thanks again

    So, basically, create 800 individual entries, each one containing everything from business name through the phone (not fax) number, add some commas and spaces to entries, and then put each entry on a separate line?
    1. Go to website page such as this one-- http://www.littlerockchamber.com/CWT/External/WCPages/WCDirectory/Directory.aspx ?ACTION=newmembers --which seems formatwise very close to what you're trying to scrape.
    2. Cmd-A to select all. Cmd-C to copy it to clipboard.
    3. Open freeware TextWrangler. Cmd-V to paste info from clipboard into a blank TW document.
    4. Remove lines from top and bottom so that only membership list remains.
    5. Process lines to remove everything from "Fax" line through "See Also" line. Only business name through phone number will remain in the file.
    --A. TW > Text > Process Lines containing . . .
    -----(check "Delete matched lines"; uncheck all others)
    -----Enter "Send Email" in the search box.
    -----Click Process.
    --B. Repeat 5A for other lines to be removed
    ------Member Since
    ------See Also
    ------Fax
    6. Insert markers to separate entries:
    TW: Search > Find . . .
    ------(check "Wrap around" and "Grep")
    ------in Find box: \r\r\r\r
    ------in replace box: \r***
    ------Click Replace All
    7. Remove remaining blank lines:
    TW: Search > Find . . .
    ------(check "Wrap around" and "Grep")
    ------in Find box: \r\r
    ------in replace box: \r
    ------Click Replace All
    8. Add comma and space at end of each line:
    TW: Search > Find . . .
    ------(check "Wrap around" and "Grep")
    ------in Find box: $
    ------in replace box: ,  (comma space)
    ------Click Replace All
    9. Remove all returns:
    TW: Search > Find . . .
    ------(check "Wrap around" and "Grep")
    ------in Find box: \r
    ------in replace box: (leave blank)
    ------Click Replace All
    10. Insert returns in place of markers:
    TW: Search > Find . . .
    ------(check "Wrap around" and "Grep")
    ------in Find box: \*\*\*,  (backslash asterisk backslash asterisk backslash asterisk comma space)
    ------in replace box: \r
    ------Click Replace All
    11. Remove trailing comma and blank on each line:
    TW: Search > Find . . .
    ------(check "Wrap around" and "Grep")
    ------in Find box: , $ (comma space dollar sign)
    ------in replace box: (leave blank)
    ------Click Replace All

  • Hi, Can anyone recommended software to import dvd to iMovies. I need to import about a dozen homemade DVD's and edit them into a single DVD comprising the 'best bits'. How best can I do this. I have an external hard drive available for the job

    Hi, Can anyone recommended software to import dvd to iMovies. I need to import about a dozen homemade DVD's and edit them into a single DVD comprising the 'best bits'. How best can I do this. I have an external hard drive available for the job

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion or later:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion even though that has it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • Merge multiple Aperture and iPhoto libraries into Photos?

    I have around 80GB of material in multiple Aperture libraries, and around 12GB of old material in iPhoto. Is it even sensible to think about holding all this data in Photos, and if so, how is it possible to import multiple libraries? The option to convert an existing library only seems available at first start-up, and is then limited to only one library.

    Yes it is practical - but you have to merge the libraries before converting libraries to Photos - Aperture can do that

  • How might I merge 2 photos, and object from one photo cleanly onto a background from another?

    I paint from photos, and wish to merge 2 photos together. I now use PS7. I would like to  clearly merge an object from one photo onto a background in a 2nd photo. The photomerge options in a trial PS10 do not create the composite I wish, ie, a clean object onto a continuous background.

    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4264800#4264800
      You need to select the object and place it on to a separate layer and then place the background on a layer bellow it. I created a similar example some time ago. See if the above thread helps.

    IPhoto..How do I copy a photo in one album and paste it into another?

    I have IPHOTO 9.5.1  I used to be able to drag and drop but it won't do that anymore.
    then something is wrong - drag and drop between albums should work. Itb is working for me without a problem. While viewing an album, select the photos inside that you want to include anither album and drag them to that album in the sidebar of the Source List like this:
    Is that, how you have tried it?
    If this does not work, repair your iPhoto library.

  • Merging .psd's and .pdf's into single pdf, only showing 1st page of pdfs :(

    I am merging .psd's and multi-page pdf's into a single pdf. When I import the other .pdfs and then save, it is only saving the first page. How can I fix this? I very much appreciate the help.

    I am merging .psd's and multi-page pdf's into a single pdf. When I import the
    other .pdfs and then save, it is only saving the first page. How can I fix
    this? I very much appreciate the help.
    To my knowledge you can't use Bridge for merging multi PDF files to one. You
    can do so in Acrobat Pro. Also Apple Preview has limited options to merge
    PDF, I believe you can merge a multi page PDF to a single page one with Drag
    and option key pressed.
    You should first create also PDF sheets for the PSD files. Remember that
    huge file size creates also huge PDF files.

  • Curve a pen stroke into a circle

    I need to make a gear with VERY specific curves. I would pay someone if they could help me with this project, it's that important. I need to make a gear with spokes that can be reshaped, and adjustments will be automatically mirrored around the entire gear.
    To do this, I want to create a noncircular segment of two spokes in the gear. Then this segment must be curved along a circular angle, then repeated to go all the way around and complete the whole gear.
    For Part 1, I was thinking about putting the noncircular segment onto a circle path, forcing the baseline to follow this angle. Kind of like how you can put text on a path, but instead I want to use a shape. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this.
    For Part 2, I want to use a mirror effect to copy the two spokes around the rest of the circle OR copy the spokes along the rest of the circle.
    For Part 3, I want to be able to adjust the original two spokes and the rest of the mirrored or copied spokes follow suit. I also need a null controller for stroke width.
    So far part one, does anyone know how to force a shape's baseline around a circular path? Or a better method? I'm in great need and seeking a genius or three!

    I would build your gears in Illustrator then import the AI file as a comp and convert vectors to shapes. Then I would set a keyframe where you want to end up and then move to the start of the timeline and deconstruct the gear. In other words, build what you want to end up with first and then break it apart rather than take something that is only a small part of what you want and form that into the final product.

  • Somehow I have lost all the photos in my iPhoto - I downloaded some new photos and they went into a slideshow package - and I now can't find my 5000  photos. Hoping it's a simple explanation!

    After downloading a new batch of photos, all my iPhoto pictures have disappeared - I have tried to recover them - assume they are in my machine somewhere but how do I get them back? iPhoto is working with all new photos but the old ones have disappeared. Also my screensaver using a picture from my library changed overnight to an apple photo.

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Merging multiple FM 7.0 fies into a single file

    I'm using FrameMaker 7.0 on XP.
    Is there a quick, easy way to merge 3 or 4 docs (such as book chapters) into a single FM file without having to copy & paste manually?
    I need the flow of each added file to become part of flow A in the first file. I don't mind connecting flows if I can easily get all of the pieces into one file first.
    I'm not finding anything on this in the forums or in my various FM reference manuals.
    Thanks!

    I am curious what conversion process you are using and also what you intend the result to be. I ask because perhaps there is a better and even more automated way.
    Quark and other layout programs have different strengths than FrameMaker, and vice-versa. FrameMaker is, in part, built around the book paradigm, so comparisons are often not apples-to-apples.
    Cheers,

    This is partly a Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements (both version 7) question, so hopefully not posting to the wrong group (there doesn't seem to be a Premiere Elements forum anyway)!
    I am currently putting together a video/slideshow presentation, initially for display directly from a computer (to data projector) and then ultimately to end up on a DVD.  The presentation  consists of digital and scanned photographs (prints and transparencies) and video clips.  I successfully put together a slideshow of all the stills with Photoshop Elements, inlcuding music etc.  I then output the slideshow to Premiere Elements, so that I could merge it with my already edited video clips.
    The output process works smoothly enough, but as soon as I run the completed presentation, the quality of the imported slideshow is nothing short of woeful!  Each image is badly pixellated and all the transition effects are mangled - in short, it is unwatchable.  As it turns out, simply adding a single, still image to Premiere Elements results in a very poor final image.  Drop the exact same video clips and still images into Windows Movie Maker and the quality is spot on (as is playing the slideshow after outputting it as a WMV file and playing via any player capable of playing WMVs).
    Trying to go the other way, ie importing video clips into Photoshop Elements, pretty much always results in it crashing!
    The two products are marketed to "work together", but they are an abject failure in this regard!
    OS is 64 bit Vista Ultimate.
    I've tried searching the manuals and online help, but could find nothing of any help.  I've sent an e-mail to Adobe support, but have received no response from them (after three weeks).
    I'm hoping that someone may be able to point out something that I may have missed, or offer some tips and tricks.
    Thanks.

    There is a separate forum for Premiere Elements at
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premiere_elements
    Also, my favorite place for Premiere Elements questions (including slideshows) is a site started by some Adobe Premiere Elements forum regulars at http://muvipix.com/phpBB3/index.php   Forum signup is free. There are multiple subforums at that site and because most of your questions are Premiere elements, I suggest that you post under the "PE version 7" subforum.
    Wherever you decide to post, I suggest that you include in your post my comments and the answers to the questions that I asked here.
    1 -- It has FAQs over to the right of the thread listing on the Adobe Premiere Elements forum. One of those FAQs that is relevant to your current workflow is
    What resolution should my photos be in Premiere Elements?

    2 -- Also, I suspect that you used Pan and/or Zoom on some of your photos when creating the Slide Show withinn Photoshop Elements.
    For those photos, you want the Premiere Elements setting of Scale to Framesize set OFF.
    3- There are also other considerations such as
    -- which Project Setting you are using in Premiere Elements?
    -- what dimensions are you using when you export from Premiere Elements to the WMV file?
    -- what is the resolution for the projector on which this video will initially be displayed?
    4 -- I do agree with your approach of adding the video in Premiere Elements.
    5 -- The mangled transitions needs more detailed info in order to discuss.
    Tthe timing of transitions is definitely different between the Photoshop Elements slideshow editor playback and the Premiere Elements output: this gives some people serious problems and for others it is not significant.  I don't know yet if that is your problem.
