Modify Image Within Mask

Hi folks. New to AE. There's something that's driving me a little crazy. I've got some images that I have masked. I simply want to either move or scale the image within the mask but leave the masks position and dimensions alone. Is this possible?
Like in Photoshop you can unlink an image layer with its layer mask. In Illustrator you can use the white arrow and select the image and not its mask.
I'm sure its something easy but I haven't been able to figure it out. Thanks very much!

If you just want to pan the masked image, you can use the Pan Behind tool (the slashed box with four arrows inside). This will let you alter the location of the image relative to the mask. Bear in mind when keyframing that Pan Behind works by neutralizing the relationship between the layer's Position Position property and the Mask Shape property, so if you don't keyframe both it'll behave unpredictably.
See Move a mask or pan a layer behind a mask in AE Community Help
If you also need to rotate or scale the masked image, yes, no doubt the method decribed by Mylenium would do it.

Using actions within masks

Is it possible to action scale an image while keeping it inside its mask?
I have several images on a slide and I want to zoom in to one of the slides, but the mask doesn't apply to the image once it scales up.
I tried selecting the scaled up image, thinking I could apply another mask, but its greyed out.
is it possible? I would like to avoid having to create a bunch of rectangles to cover up the unwanted portions after the image scales up.
I'm using Keynote '09
thank you.

j.c.c,
One way to do this is to use Magic Move.
Mask each of your images on the slide then clone the slide (Option-Drag in Navigator) and on the second slide re-size the image(s) you need and move others if needed. Set the slide transition for the first slide to Magic Move.
The masked images can be resized with the mask still applied.You can even resize the image within the mask and Magic Move will expand the image inside the mask except if you fiddle with it too much the transition within the mask changes from a move to a fade so keep it simple.

Moving images within Book cells?

Is there a way to position images within the book template cells? Understanding that the cells are fixed is there a way to move an image around within those boundaries? It appears when I resize an image within the cell it does so uniformly and from the center and is locked there. Am I missing something? We should be able to position the image inside the borders.

Hi Jay,
when I do not zoom-to-fill my usual 3:2-ratio images get positioned in the middle of a book cell.
Then I can drag them ad libitum to the right or left within that cell.
When zoomed you can still drag the exact portion shown around within the cell.
But that is the only tiny bit of freedom I have discovered so far, with these non-modifiable templates of LR4b#1.
Cell padding is uniformly from each end.
I just hope that general feedback had been drastic enough so that Adobe will soon release LR4b#2 with modifiable templates / page sizes / cell sizes / image borders / text boxes etc.
Otherwise they might not receive much more feedback about the book module. I won't cash out for a book design that does not suit me, so no experiences with upload/export and the rest.

Export gives "Unable to create" error,Can't EXPORT or SHARE modified images

I am running iPhoto 8.1.2 and I cannot export or share any images I modify.
Upon editing images (cropping or enhancing color profile), I am unable to drag and drop images to my desktop (gives a "∅" symbol) which I used to do all the time. I cannot export them - iPhoto gives an error: "Unable to create" filename error...
If I look at the "Show file" and verify the contents of the folder, none of the images I have modified appear there. If I look at "Show original file" all the original files are there but do not have my edits/cropping, etc. Where are my modified images going and how can I get to them? iPhoto seems like it is getting Alzheimer's or something...
I have tried closing and re-opened iPhoto and all the images thumbnails appear to be ok with my updated crops/enhancements. Double-clicking and opening them opens files with the correct edit/enhancements. Everything seems ok until I try to export or share any of the modified photos.
I tried rebuilding iPhoto and selecting the first 4 options but after the rebuild the problem still persists...
None of the files that I cropped/enhanced appear in the "Modified" folder for that date. There are some files there, but they appear to be files that I deleted!
So, where are my cropped/enhanced photos going??? iPhoto shows them ok in the Events, etc. but they are not in the "Modified" folder and I cannot export, drag/drop, email or share them...
This has been happening to me for awhile now and it is very frustrating. iPhoto is ok so long as I don't do any cropping or enhancing. If I do that, then it gets all screwed up...
I know that I can use something like "iPhoto Library Manager" to rebuild stuff but I don't want to lose any of my data. I have done extensive work with faces, places, attributes, names, etc...
I JUST WANT iPHOTO TO WORK LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO AND LIKE IT USED TO!
Thanks,
Steve

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair Library permissions.
If the permissions have been mucked up somehow, it's likely that your edits have not been saved.
If the fails:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your 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.

Error in saving modified image to Library (ios 4.3)

Reference thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/7211117?messageID=7211117
I still have an error in my ios (4.3) code that "cannot type cast @selector expression" when I try to do the following:
// Save image
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(imageCopy, self, (SEL)@selector(image:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:), nil);
If I have the following I get an error message, I'm looking for a fix, so I can save the modified image to my ios device library.
I also saw this as an option ( http://iphoneincubator.com/blog/windows-views/image-processing-tricks ):
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, self, @selector(imageSavedToPhotosAlbum: didFinishSavingWithError: contextInfo:), context);
But if I change image: to imageSaveToPhotosAlbum then it complains that context was not defined.
I could use some help!! Thank you.

Sort images within stack by rating?

Hi Gang,
I'm editing a massive job and there's one part of the process that is taking forever. After I've rated every image within a stack, I seem to have to resort them manually to be shown from highest rating to lowest rating, either by dragging or by using the "promote/demote" buttons.
Is there any way to make images in a stack sort themselves by rating? This would literally save me hours of time.

I know of no way to automatically stack by rating. You could create Smart Albums with only certain ratings included. I know that's not exactly what you wanted to do, but it would accomplish a segregation of your photos by rating.
Sorry not to be able to provide an answer, but I don't think there is one.

Linking an image from one page to an image within a slideshow on another page.

I would like to link an image on my home page with an image within a slideshow on another page of my website. I can create the link, but when I click on the link, instead of taking me to the image within the slideshow, it takes me to the first image of the slideshow which I don't want. Is there a way to link to an image "within" the slideshow and not the first image?

Hi
You can create pages with specific images and then use link of images which will open the page with that specific image, link images within slideshow to show exact image within would not be possible with native Muse feature as by default slideshow will open the first image in target.
Thanks,

How do I resize an image within a drop zone (not the drop zone itself) in motion 5?

How do I resize an image within a drop zone (not the drop zone itself) in motion 5?

I think others would be able to help if you describe a little more why you'd like to do this. Given that drop zones are a way of passing images into Motion that you want to manipulate, resizing a drop zone is the equivalent of resizing the image.
If you're having a problem with an image from Final Cut being too big or too small, select the Drop Zone in the inspector and make sure the Fit parameter is set to 'Fit' - 'Center' will result in images dropped not being scaled to fit the Drop Zone. 'Stretch' will force the dropped image to fill the space defined by the drop zone,
If the image is already cropped and scaled up in Final Cut Pro, that is the information that Motion gets - you can't scale down the image to see more of the edges that have been cropped off.
If you want more than one copy of the image passed via the drop zone, use Make Clone Layer from the Object menu.

Aligning an image within Text

Is there a way to wrap an image within a Text Box? For example, in standard html I would just align an image to the "right" or "left" and insert padding accordingly. The text would then just wrap around and under. Is there an equivelent action in Captivate 5.0?
I've been just putting text boxes on the page and leaving room and saving space outside of the text box for the image, then put another text box underneath it to make it appear as if it is "wrapping"?
If not - any idea when this functionality will be appearing? Perhaps in 6.0?

Set exported resolution for each image within InDesign

I'm generating a document in InDesign destined only for the screen (as a PDF) and I'm wondering whether in CS6 the user can set the exported resolution separately for each image. i.e click on a image and set the resolution for that image. Reason: to allow end-viewers to zoom in on certain images and retain quality.
And while I'm on the subject of changing resolution, a few years ago someone wrote a script for me (in response to a post), that when you clicked on an image within InDesign, resampled the original to 300 dpi, saved it, and made the necessary adjustments in InDesign so the image stayed the same size.
Can CS6 do that? Or do I need to dig up the old script?

> ... destined only for the screen (as a PDF) ...
The developers of PDF will thank you for that statement!

How to make a one-color fill images with masks in documents from our multiple layers ?

Hello everyone!
I`m to open PSD document with same layers. I need to:
1. Save the jpg file (preview) in a certain place
2. All layers with masks to make one-color fill instead of images with masks.
Thanks
This is way ?
var theLayers = collectLayers(app.activeDocument, []);
alert (theLayers.join("\n"));
function collectLayers (theParent, allLayers) {//---------------------------------------------------
if (!allLayers) {var allLayers = new Array}
   else {};
   for (var m = theParent.layers.length - 1; m >= 0;m--) {
      var theLayer = theParent.layers[m];
      if (theLayer.typename == "ArtLayer") {
           var bar = new Array;
           bar = theLayer.bounds
           l0= Math.abs(this.app.activeDocument.width - theLayer.bounds[2] - theLayer.bounds[0]);
           l1= Math.abs(this.app.activeDocument.height -theLayer.bounds[3] - theLayer.bounds[1]);
            if((l0+l1)>0) { // layer mask is set
                // delete this layer
                //create new layer
                //create new mask from array bar
                //fill selection
            allLayers.push(theLayer);
   return allLayers

I may not quite follow.
Would you mind posting an example (a screenshot with the Layers Panel visible for example) and an overview of the resulting images you want to produce?

Fix background image within div

Hello
I've done a lot of research about this, and tons os answers have come up, still, none solved my problem so far.
I'm trying to make the background image within a div to be fixed when i scroll vertically.
Have a template made, in which the only editable div is the rightdiv. (in red, to be easier)
Here's my code
CSS
body {
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
background-position: center center;
background-image: url(../Images/bgdr.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
#wrapper {
height: 875px;
width: 1000px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
#header {
background-repeat: no-repeat;
clear: none;
float: none;
height: 214px;
width: 1000px;
background-image: none;
position: relative;
padding-top: 10px;
#leftDiv {
clear: none;
float: left;
height: 500px;
width: 245px;
position: relative;
text-decoration: none;
#rightDiv {
clear: none;
float: right;
height: 484px;
width: 755px;
position: relative;
overflow: auto;
#footer {
height: 100px;
width: 1000px;
clear: both;
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 20px;
And here is my HTML

<div id="rightDiv" style="background-image: url(Images/informacao.png)">
</div>

Well, thing is that on Internet Explorer 9, the background image will repeat vertically when i scroll vertically. On Chrome it will stay fixed on scroll (and that is what i want).
I tried adding style="background-attachment:fixed" , but that will make the image align fix itself relatively to the whole page, not the div only. Also, it repeats itself 4 times to oocupy the screen. I can solve that by "no-repeat", but it still is fixed to the browser page, not the div.
I've been trying to fix this for days.. Help would be much appreciated.
Funny thing is that this only happens in IE9.. Chrome works perfectly.

Could u pls be a little more detailed?
sorry, but i'm still very unexperienced at this..
That is not a valid way to write css into your page and will not work. You appear to be trying to use the background shorthand css property within the html tag itself. If you want to use an inline style, it would need to be within the style html attribute...
<div id="rightDiv" style="background:url(Images/informacao.png") no-repeat fixed top left;">
But it would be better to place it in your css instead...
#rightDiv {
clear: none;
background:url(Images/informacao.png") no-repeat fixed top left;
float: right;
height: 484px;
width: 755px;
position: relative;
overflow: auto;

Displaying image within a directory

Hi everyone, i am doing a project on displaying image within a directory. But i am not sure how to do it. Is it possible to display all the images from a certain directory folder?? Thank in advance..

Thank for reply. I know how to call a image from a folder and display it on the jsp page But I am trying to display all the images in that folder and display all of them on the jsp page like a online photo album. But i do not know how to do that. Any help or guide on displaying images from a directory. Thank!!

How to transfer both original and modified images to another computer?

Hi,
I've been trying to figure out if there is a way to copy items between iPhoto libraries in two different computers.
Basically I've got a desktop mac and all my digial images are sorted in the iPhoto library there. This is where I want to keep them as the disk is a NFS-mounted RAID-array adding a bit more security.
Now I've got a macbook pro as a travelling companion. To avoid a huge project later in sorting and editing the pictures, I'd like to do that in pieces while abroad. So I'll edit the pictures already in the macbook and also would like to sort out what stuff to publish by creating albums containing the best pictures.
But how to preserve all that when coming back home? How do I export the stuff from the macbook so that it preserves both the original and modified image and also any comments I've added? And then how to import all this to the mac mini? When I'm at home, both the computers can access the same NFS server so transferring the data is not a problem.
I can of course export the pictures to a folder, copy that folder to the shared disk and then import in the mac mini. But export seems to export only the modified image so I'll lose that if doing it that way. If I just copy the files to the modified/original -folders in the mac mini, the index files of the mac mini lack the information about the new pictures as they were not properly imported.
Is there any way to do this? I can't just copy all the stuff including index files as then I'd lose track on the 10000+ pictures already in the iPhoto library of the mac mini.
/hv

Thanks.
It seems to be a little buggy. My first test import seemed to be ok but it didn't copy any of the modified pictures. It seemed to put some originals to the modified folder but not the real, modified ones. Second try seemed to work, though.
Anyway, this seems to be what I've been looking for.
