Move an image in a mask in Keynote '09

Is it possible to move an image with in a mask using the build in or the action effect? I want the photo to slowly scale up but stay inside the mask.

Unfortunately, masks are considered part of the image for builds and actions. You would have to construct a graphic with an appropriate "hole" (an old-school mask).

Want to move an image and it's keyframed animated mask

I want to move an image and it's keyframed animated mask to a new position.
What steps do I need to undertake to accomplish the seemingly impossible task?
Thank you.

You should try placing it all inside a movieclip by copying/pasting it into the movieclip timeline. That way it is completely mobile.

Lock mask, move video/image underneath?

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I want to mask a particular track with a circle and then move the content while the mask stays stationary. Right now when I try to move something, the mask moves with the image. Help!

Hi
You'll need to create a mask in Photoshop or alike, and put that one track higher than your footage.
Or you can use Video Generators > Shape > Circle and put that one track lower and then select Composite Mode > Travel Matte Luma on the footage that you want to mask.

Can you invert a mask in Keynote 09?

I'm trying to figure out if you can invert a mask in Keynote Instead of the mask being the opaque area of the image, it would be the transparent area of the image. So, you'd have a hole in your image. Does anyone know if this is possible or if there is a workaround? I need to be able to do this inside of Keynote, a PNG with a hole will not work for my situation. Thanks for any input.

So, I essentially drew a shape and overlapped it on itself to make a hollow area on the inside. I then used that as a mask, worked wonderfully. The whole reason for me doing this is to see if I can put this masked image on a master page, and then place video behind it on a slide with this masked/master. Problem is the video, when behind that masked image, will not give you the controls when rolled over in presentation mode. Keynote doesn't recognize your pointer is over a movie if the masked image sits above that movie. Therefore, you don't get the movie controls in presentation mode.

Problem with ACTION (move, rotate, etc) in iBookAuthor with a Keynote file

Hi everyone,
I'm doing nice keynote animations with ACTION like rotate an image, move an image, etc. That makes great animation on my Mac screen.
But when i put that animation (keynote file) in iBookAuthor as a widget, the actions are not showing correctly on the iPad. I can't see them anymore.
Do you know why?

It would seem that the Keynote widget can only handle the following animations (looks like what you are trying is not included). See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5067
Transitions and builds
These transitions and builds work with the Keynote widget:
Transitions
Magic Move
Cube
Dissolve
Drop
Flip
Flop
Iris
Motion Dissolve
Move In
Page Flip
Pivot
Push
Reveal
Scale
Twirl
Twist
Wipe
Builds
Appear or Disappear
Cube
Dissolve
Drop
Move In or Move Out
Pivot
Scale
Twirl
Unsupported builds and transitions will be replaced with Dissolve.

Move/Resize photo within a mask?

I've been trying to figure this out forever:
When I drag one of my photos onto a placeholder image that is on an Apple template, it replaces it just fine. The problem I have is that I want to be able to move/resize my image around inside the mask until it fits just how I want it to. Is this possible?
In other words, I want the mask area to stay where it is and have JUST my image move around inside of the mask.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately, the instructions here do not refer to the thumbnail photos in the photo template. Is that what you are asking about?
Aside from setting the maximum caption height, there really isn't a whole lot you can do to type more into those boxes. Here are some things to try...
1. Make the caption font used teeny tiny so that you can squish more words in there. Obviously this has its limits.
2. Try overlaying the caption area with your own text box. Then at least you can make it as big as you want. You may have to fill the textbox with the background color in order to fully cover up the existing caption box.
Just some random ideas.

To move an image behind a part of our "first picture", as if two layers are overlapped !

Hello,
I'm french, and I already posted a question a few times ago, on this forum and I was very satisfied with your quick answers, so I come ask again a little question...
It's about Photoshop CS6 and I would like to know if it's possible to move an image behind a part of our "first picture", as if two layers are overlapped (the first picture and the picture that I add !) and one layer was partially hidden by the first !
It's quite complicated to understand and explain... I know ... and I'm very sorry ...
Example: If I want to move a book behind furniture (which is located in the center of my "background" or "first picture", surrounded by a nonuniform setting !), so to see only part of the book and the other part is hidden by the furniture ! Like the picture below (where we see that the "Coraya" is behind the desk !!) :
I thank you in advance for all your quick responses and I congratulate you in advance to your understanding and your professionalism about Photoshop !
Makarsh

Makarsh,
One easy way to accomplish that look is to add a Layer Mask to the "book" Layer, in the shape of the furniture, that you wish to hide part of the book behind.
That would probably be easier by creating a Selection for that part of the furniture, with the Selection Tool of your choice. I personally like to do such work with the Pen Tool (creates a Path), as it is very exact. However, if one is not comfortable with the Pen Tool and Paths, then the Lasso (perhaps constraining it for straight lines) might be easier. If you do use the Pen Tool, when complete, go to the Paths Panel, and from the little arrow in the top-right, choose Make Selection.
Then, with that Selection still active, go to the book Layer, and click on the Create Layer Mask icon, at the bottom of the Layers Panel.
If necessary, you can do touchup to that Layer Mask, after it has been created.
Good luck, and hope that helps.

Pasting images without clipping masks.

I often capture portions of my screen and paste them into Illustrator but they almost always get an unwanted clipping mask appended to them which I then hollow point select and delete EVERY time so I can simply move my images without having to worry about also moving annoying clipping masks. Does anyone know how I can simply paste my screenshots without a silly clipping mask coming along for the ride?
(17" "Unibody" MacBook Pro Illustrator CS3)

Wade, I fully understand the method you're proposing. I'm just saying it's comparatively cumbersome. It's more steps and way more mouse mileage See, You're saying I should...
1) Capture a screen region to the desktop (Cmd,Shift,4) then
2) Bring Illustrator to the foreground (Cmd,Tab)
3) Bring the finder to the foreground (Cmd,Tab)
4) Navigate to the desktop (Click)
5) Drag & Drop the screenshot into Illustrator (Click,Drag)
6) Delete the screenshot from the desktop (Cmd,Delete) and
7) Empty the trash (Cmd,Option,Shift,Delete).
Instead of...
1) Capture a screen region to the clipboard (Cmd,Option,Shift,4)
2) Bring Illustrator to the foreground (Cmd,Tab)
3) Paste the screenshot (Cmd,V)
Then, only because CS3 adds a senseless clipping mask...
4) Select the hollow arrow (A)
5) Select the unwanted clipping mask (Click)
6) Delete the clipping mask.
I'm simply asking the community if there's a way to avoid those last 3 steps and make Illustrator behave the way it did before the CS era.
Ok, that's all the time I have except to thank anyone with an answer.

My hard drive is full. How do I move my images to an external drive without 'losing' them in Lightroom?

I am a recent convert to Lightroom 5. I currently have a single catalog stored on my hard drive. All the images in the catalog (about 20,000) are stored on the same hard drive. This hard drive is now full. I need to move the images to an 2tb external drive but don't want to lose them in Lightroom. (I am keen to keep the catalog on the existing hard drive and back it up to the external hard drive). I have tried to work this out for myself in Adobe help etc but I am uncertain and mildly worried at the prospect of messing this up. Can anyone help?
Thanks

How can I move an image/file around inside a document with text already in it?

I'm learning In Design on the job, and it's a real challenge. One big problem I'm having is, after I've placed an image inside a document with text in it, how do I place it precisely where I want it? Sometimes I need the image flush to the left, and sometimes I need to center it. When I place it, it doesn't land where I need it to be. Things I've tried work sometimes but not other times. I've tried going to Paragraph and reducing the setting to zero to move an image flush to the left of the text frame/column (I'm working with a three-column page). Sometimes that works, and sometimes it does not. When it doesn't, I've tried using the Selection tool to drag the image, but it doesn't respond. Could someone give me an idea of what I'm overlooking? I'm finding that InDesign has many settings, and all it takes is for one setting to be what it shouldn't be for things to go badly wrong. I'm having other issues too, but in this discussion I'll stick to this.

Sounds like you are anchoring the images in the text flow. That's fine if you need them to move along with text during editing, but is usually not required and often counter productive. If you place your images as separate objects in their own independent frames they can be positioned anywhere and moved at will. If they need to be anchored, consider using Custom Positioned instead of inline.

What's the process to replace an image inside a mask?

Hi There,
The new replace image function is a massive time saver but it doesn't seem to work with masked images.
These images are masked because they're part of an animation so I really need to replace them - not re-import and re-create the animation from scratch.
If this isn't possible, how do I remove the mask? That way I could just delete the mask, replace the image, then re-mask.
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

The image replace works perfectly with a masked image intact, only if the two images dimensions are the same.
However, doing the following gets you 95% of the way with just a final tweak of the mask:
select the image on the slide
Format > Copy Animation
then replace image
Format > Paste Animation
Format > Image > Edit Mask

What is the Best Way To Move Lightroom Images from Drive "D" to Drive "C"

I just built a new computer, I had all light room images in my drive "D".
On my new computer I have one large drive, and I want to move everything to the "C" Drive
and use 'RAID 1" to back up the whole system.
So,, How do I move the images over and keep everything intact?
Thanks,
Steve

Well, RAID-1 isn't quite the same as a backup, but it is close.
Personally I would (and do) have my C: drive just be for the OS. And
my pictures/catalogs are on separate RAID-1 drive(s).
So,, How do I move the images over and keep everything intact?
Depends. If you start LR, and open your old catalog, all your photos
will be missing (have the "?" on them, since the location changed).
You'd have to right-click on the "?", and "Locate" the files, in their
new location.

How do I copy and paste an image form the internet to Keynote. I have done this successfully in the past by selecting copy and then paste by using the right click function and now am unable to do so. I am thinking it is an outdate OS problem...not sure.

How do I copy and paste an image from the internet to Keynote. I have done so successfully in the paste by using the copy and paste right click functions but am unable to do so now. That was about a year ago that I attempted that I was able to do this. Thank you for your help.

Some images are copy-protected.
If all else fails, you can make a screen shot of the image:
With the image visible in your browser, press CMD-Shift-4 and your cursor will change to crosshairs.
Position the cross hairs at one of the corners of what you want to copy and drag to the opposite corner, then release the mouse. An copy of the image will be saved to your desktop.
You can now edit and use this image.
Be sure to respect copyrights.

Cannot move some images in iPhoto to desktop

I cannot move an image from iPhoto to my desktop. Also, when I click on the image in iPhoto to enlarge it, I get an exclamation point. When the image is small size in iphoto, I can see it. But if I click on it to enlarge it in iphoto, I get the exclamation point. Don't know why this is happening? I have Iphoto 09, version 8.1.2 (424) My goal: Be able to move any image in iphoto to my desktop and not get the exclamation point anymore.
Message was edited by: rjduffy61

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the link to the original image - and that's why you can move it to the desktop.
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
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.
