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.

  • Crop and Resize photo within the COD service in ESS

    Anyway to crop and resize photo within the COD webdynpro java component in ESS?

    No what i mean is how to allow the user to upload a photo using the COD service but also allow them to crop and resize the image as documented here:
    [How to Add Image Crop and Resize Capabilities in Web-Based Applications|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/10ab79a4-1fc2-2b10-29bb-ef9ff6771e72]
    The solution above does not use the webdynpro COD service in ESS, it is a portal component with embedded JavaScript which also only stores the photo on portal only (not the infotype in ECC).  I guess I need to figure out how to add these javascript files to the webdynpro COD service in ESS.  Although I don't think Webdynpro Java allows you to add javascript.

  • Move & rename photos within Lightroom?

    Two-part question:
    1.  After importing a few thousand scanned photos, then adding appropriate creation dates and other metadata, I want to rename and organize the photos into folders in the same way the Import process works.  My import preset renames each file in the form YYYY-MM-DD-nnnnn where nnnnn is a sequence number, and where the date is drawn from the metadata within the imported file. 
    When I originally imported the scanned images into Lightroom, they had meaningless creation dates (1/1/1970) so I did not rename them at that time.  Now I want to rename each image file named 'foo.jpg' as YYYY-MM-DD-foo.jpg.
    How can I select a large number of files and rename them all according to a rule like that? 
    2. My import preset also files the imported image in a folder/subfolder named YYYY/YYYY-MM-DD;  after renaming the scanned files, above, I'd like to move them into the appropriately named folder/subfolder.  How can I do that?
    If I cannot rename/move the files within Lightroom, I could
    a.  do these manipulations outside Lightroom... in the Finder, with other tools... but then Lightroom's catalog will not be able to find its image files. 
    b. export the images, then import them with my preset, but I fear I'd lose some metadata in the process.
    any ideas welcome

    Suggestions, there may be better ways!
    Q1.  Select one or more images, Press F2
    If [Date - Filename] pulls in the wrong date, create a Custom rename such as [Custom Name - Filename] and type the date as the "Custom Name" in your wanted format yyyymmdd.
    Q2. Create folders with required dates (Right-click on a 'Master' YYYY folder),  Drag images with corresponding date to its folder.

  • How do I move a photo within a cell? (montage)

    Hello there.
    I am trying to create a photo montage. I have all my photos in cells on the page, but now I am trying to zoom in on and move photos around within each cell (sort of what you do when you upload a photo in Facebook). This was quite easy for me to do in Aperture, but I can't seem to find out how to do it in Lightroom. What am I missing?
    Thanks!
    Barb

    Hi Barb
    It’s easiest to use the print module. If you choose Custom package from the Layout tab (top right) you will get a blank canvas. You can then drag and drop as many images as you wish from the film strip. Each image will show a bounding box and you can drag the corner handles to re-size. You can click in the center of each photo to move it. You can drag around the canvas and even overlap images if required. When your montage is complete you can print to file as a single jpeg.
    You can also use the book module, where there are many page templates. The cells for book pages are fixed but you can drag images around within the cells. Book pages can be saved as PDF or jpeg.

  • Resizing photos within a project

    Does anyone know how I can resize a photo or image that is already within a new project?
    Usually I open the image separatly copy and then paste it into my project however it would be much easier to do it within the new document as opposed to separatly.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    File menu > Place. The placed photos will come in as smart objects, which allows you to resize again and again without quality loss. At any point you can rasterize the smart object to make it the same as any other layer.

  • How do I move thumbnail photos within an event?

    I've tried highlighting a thumbnail photo and dragging it to (1) another photo to precede that photo and (2) to the space to the left of a photo. In each case, it didn't work.

    cactusTony
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    You can't do this is an Event. Events are a very basic time and date based organisation. To change the order of things in an Event, change the time relative to the pic you want to precede.
    Or... Make an album of the Event, then you can organise anything anyway you want. To do this just drag the Event to the Albums heading and it will make an album of the same name. As Albums only reference files in the Library they take up no extra disk space and have much better organisation possibilities.

  • Photos not resizing into template with mask

    When I drag certain photos into the iWeb template, they are not resizing. When I try to change the size of the photo within the mask, the whole mask changes accordingly. I do not want the masked area to change, just the size of the photo so that it fits.
    HELP!!

    It's difficult (for me at least) to imagine what you are seeing. If you want, you could post some screenshots. I haven't tried this free GrabUp app, and it's not the only way to post screenshots, but it claims to be fast and easy to use:
    http://www.grabup.com
    ...download it, take a sequence of screenshots of the problem and post the URLs from Grabup here.
    It may also be useful to know the following:
    . pixel size of the image and its file type, e.g. JPG or PNG
    . iWeb page style, e.g. Blog, My Albums, Photos
    Alternatively, simply resize your photos in iPhoto before dragging them to iWeb.

  • Moving photos within an event

  • In Lightroom mobile how can move photos within the collection????

    In Lightroom mobile how can move photos within the collection????

    What you can do is to move (or copy) a photo form one collection to another. This can be triggered via the top right app menu item from grid view. Same menu is available when you open up an image for editing. Hope that helps. -Guido

  • How do I move photos within a journal (ie from 1 page to another) in iPhoto

    How do I move photos within a journal (ie from 1 page to another) in iPhoto

    iPhoto is not very smart with multiple photos...
    I don't think you can move multiple photos and I suggest the following turnaround, using the "combine pages" option mentioned in my previous reply.
    Create a blank page that you move next to the page(s) where the photos you want to move are; 
    then move your pictures there one by one (use the new page as a temporary parking space),
    then merge this new page were you want to move the multiple pictures, using the "combine pages".
    This would save time if your journal has many pages, so you don't have to move each photo through multiple pages but just to the next/previous page.
    I just made this up but I tried it and it works!

  • How can I magic move within a mask

    Hvave masked a long mobile image in keynote over a phone graphic and want to magic move the visual down within the mask but does not seem to work and just fades in and out rather than move?

    This will work OK.
    Have you created two identical slides by duplicating the first (click the slide in the navigator then command D),
    then changing the position of the image on slide two?

  • How do I resize photos to fit within Source or Program?

    I was able to do so in Source or Program before but no longer able to. Using PP5.5. Just setup my editing system, using exact same equipment, after not in use for four months. I had edited other projects where I had to resize photos and was always able to resize within the Source or Program monitor.

    Right-click any clip on the timeline and choose "Scale to Fit". Or set that up in Preferences (does not affect media already imported) so it is automatic. Can still be manually over-ridden on timeline on a per-clip basis. Easier than scaling a lot of stills one by one.

  • Can I physically move photos within iPhoto

    I have my photo organised in folders on my hard drive.  I then imported each folder into iPhoto as albums.  If I want to move photos around in iPhoto it doesn't actually physically move the photo on the hard drive. Is it possible to physically move a photo from within iPhoto?

    No.
    iPhoto is a Photo Manager and you're not thinking of Photos, your think of files
    It's a key distinction and one that you need if you're going to get the most of out of iPhoto.
    The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
    Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
    So iPhoto replaces the Finder for anything you want to do with your Photos - edit them (in iPhoto or anything else), email them, share them, print them whatever - are all done either with or via iPhoto.
    Where the files are stored matters not a whit. Why? Because you never access them via the Finder.
    (A caveat: you've chosen to run a Referenced Library. As an inexperienced user I strongly urge you not to do that. For some of the issues that might arise see  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3062728?tstart=0 )
    Some concrete exapmles:
    You want to edit a photo in Photoshop...
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    You want to access a photo for uploading, inserting in a document, emailing etc...
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    If you want to manage files, then Photo is not the app for you.
