Merging two images....

Here's one for you guys....
I have a bunch on JPG images (50+) that I've taken that I want to add a "copyright" to.
I use photoshop, and the copyright is just text created in PS and saved as a PS file (IIRC I'm at work ATM).
What I would like to know is....
Can you merge the two images putting the copyright in a set location over the JPG and saving the file. (and then deleting the original).
Is photoshop the best thing to use is possibly another question.....
Thank in advance

Automator is not the answer. You need an image editor like Adobe Photoshop Elements or maybe GraphicConverter
It would also help if you gave a bit more detail-preferably in a new thread-of exactly what you were trying to do and why you cannot do it.

Please help me merge two images

I've been reading tutorials for hours, and trying everything I can think of, but I just can't figure this out.
I have two BufferedImages (TYPE_INT_RGB), and I want to be able to create an alpha channel "mask" that lets me punch "holes" (antialiased) in the top one to have the bottom one show through. I can draw white circles (Ellipse2D.Double) to my heart's content on the top or bottom image, but I can't figure out how to use this as a alpha channel mask or how to use AlphaComposite to put it all together. Can someone please offer help?

I merged the top 2 responses together to get an antialiased version. Then I saw the post below. Can anyone comment on which version is more efficient? Thanks for all your help.

Merge two images

I have two java.awt.Image objects that need to be shown one over the other (one contains transparency information). Right now, they are placed in seperate labels and placed one over the other. Obviously, I would much rather have a single Image object containing both images merged together.
I've looked through the Image class and could not find a simple "add" or "blend" function. Does anyone have any quick solutions, or do I have to write my own code?
Thanks in advance!

How to merge two images together

hi,
I sell mobile phone cases and want to produce my own images. I have taken images of the case and have taken the background off. I have found an image on the internet of the phone and want the phone to be merged into the case.
could someone please help me to do this.
thanks

In Editor, go to the expert tab.
Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from to add to another picture.
Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.

Possible to merge two image files, but keep separate channels?

I have Image A with seven selections saved as channels. I have Image B with eight selections saved as channels. I want to put A and B side by side in the same file. If I expand canvas in Image A and cut & paste B into it, the eight channels for B are lost. Is there a why to retain both sets of channels with my selections? I can't quite wrap my mind around how to make this work of even if it can work. Any suggestions? Thank you.

The best workaround I can think of is to make the Background Layer of the files a regular Layer and Group it (command-G), then add as many empty Groups in that Group as Channels are to be transported.
Afterwards load each Channel as a Selection (command-click the icon in the Channels Panel) and add it as a Mask to one of the empty Groups (click the Layer Mask-icon, third icon from the left at the bottom of the Layers Panel).
After that the Group containing the Layer and masked Groups can the moved together.

Merge two images and advance play one slide at a time

I have a keynote presentation. I have the speaker notes that are needed to be displayed beside the slide to make sense of the slide's talking points. Both the slides and the notes are also available in PDF.
I like to make a video to dislay on an iWebsite. As slide A appears on one half of the screen while simultainiously the speaker notes for the slide appear beside it. I'd like the viseo to pause so the viewer has time to read the notes. Then by clicking the screen or some other way to advance the video, one side and notes at a time.
Doesanyone have suggestions on how I can create this video? Are there alternatives to this approach?
Carl

You could do this in FCE by putting stills of your slides on V1 and speaker notes on V2 and adjusting their sizes so that each fills an appropriate portion of the screen. Then export the whole thing as a QuickTime movie which a viewer can start/pause/stop in QuickTime Player. It's not as elegant as what you envision, but I think this approach would work.

Photomerge panorama produces an empty merge file from two images; how can I fix this? Thanks

Photomerge panorama produces an empty merge file from two images; how can I fix this? Thanks

If you did not create this swf yourself then you won't be able to do what I am suggesting. If you did, then open the fla in Flash and go into the Publish Settings and select the option to publish an html file as an output. That will create an html page that embeds the Flash file. Test that file in your browser and see if it plays properly. IF so, then copy that code in place of whatever Dreamweaver did to embed the Flash.
Dreamweaver is not a reliable tool for embedding Flash content... why it does not do it the same way Flash does it is anyone's guess.

How can I merge two iPhoto libraries stored on an external drive?

Today I was in a One-to-One at the Apple Store. I want to merge two i-Photo libraries into one. One library is on my Air, the other is on my iMac. Both libraries have been moved to an external drive. When I try to move one onto the other, they won't go. Yet I am certain that while at the store today, the person there started to merge them. He did not need the library manager software in order to do so. We stopped the merge in order to move on to another issue. Now that I am home, I can't get the libraries to merge. What am I failing to do? Thanks!

The only way to merge two libraryies is to use iPhoto Library Manager which will merge two libraries and keep keywords, titles, faces, places, and other metadata intact.
If one imports one library into another library every image file in the first library, originals, thumbnails, face files, etc, get imported as an original photo. You will end up with a total mess. DO NOT IMPORT ONE LIBRARY INTO ANOTHER LIBRARY!
If you have backup copies of your libraries get them back and use iPhoto Library Manager to merge them.

Re: How to Join two images

Do you want to side by side the images so one is on the left and the other on the right? If so just make them the appropriate size and copy them to the correct locations.
If you want to overlay on onto the other then xor them.

i have tried following code but it gives me image of 2 strips
public static void joinImage()throws Exception{
          //loads two images with ImageIO
          //for testing purpose both header and content image are same
          BufferedImage imageHeader=ImageIO.read(new File("/home/g.pol/images/DSC04249.JPG"));
          System.out.println(""+imageHeader.getHeight()+" "+imageHeader.getWidth());
     BufferedImage imageContent=ImageIO.read(new File("/home/g.pol/images/DSC04249.JPG"));
     //create new BufferedImage instance of same width and height as that of merging images
     BufferedImage resultantImage=new BufferedImage(imageHeader.getWidth(),imageHeader.getHeight()*2,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
     //get graphichs of resultant image
     Graphics resultantGraphics=resultantImage.getGraphics();
     //draw image on graphics with width is same as that of test images but height 1/2 of test image
     resultantGraphics.drawImage(imageHeader,0,0,null);
     resultantGraphics.drawImage(imageContent,0,50,null);
     ImageIO.write(resultantImage,"jpg",new File("/home/g.pol/images/result.JPG"));
     System.out.println("success");
     }

Is it possible to paste two images into one layer?

I'm having some issues pasting two images into one layer. Every time I paste the second image, it automatically creates a new layer...is there anyway to prevent that from happening? I'm making an animation on photoshop and I want there to be more than image in some of the frames. Please let me know if you have any suggestions! Thanks!

You can merge the two layers together once they're position. Select the top layer and choose merge down or select both and choose merge layers (from the layers menu).

How to merge two search button from different criteria

How to merge two search button from different criteria
this image show the question
http://s24.postimg.org/4algthuj9/1111.jpg
two different criteria for the same view and I need to merge it in one button as when I click
on the button search result give from two criteria parameters

You can!t using af:query. the af:query component comes as is. If you can't do it through the properties, you probably can't do it at all.
As in your other thread, the way to go is to program your own search form. This way you can use a layout and functionality you like.
For this you create a form with input fields for the values you are searching for, put them on hte page in a way you like and in the end by hitting on a button (e.g. called Search) map all inputfields to parameters of a service method you defined in your application module or VO. This service method then executes a view criteria returning all matches in the default iterator (just as if you had used af:query.

How to merge two pictures side by side

How do you merge two pictures side by side?

Open one image
Expand the canvas using Image>Canvas Size... or visually by using the crop tool, you can drag outside of the document area to expand it.
Place the second image. (Image Reveal All can be used instead of expanding the canvas if part of the second image is outside the document area.)
Select both layer in the layer panel and Layer>Merge Layers (ctrl-e {windows} cmd-e {Mac})

Selecting the difference between two images

Hi
I have two photographs exactly the same which I have taken using a tripod, lighting and general studio conditions. However, in the second picture I have inserted an subject - in this case an intricate sculpture. Can Photoshop merge those two images together AND in doing so select the difference between the two images - in this case the intricate sculpture?
Basically I need to select the sculpture and don’t want to spend the time manually selecting it due to its complexity. I need to separate the background and sculpture for editing on their own layers.
Thanks
