Moving an image inside a shape

OS X Yosemite, Pages 5.5.1. I am trying to move an image I opened as a filling for a shape. I how can I move the image inside the shape without moving the actual shape?

Double click on the image and you will see the shape that frames it. Click outside the frame and your cursor becomes a hand to drag it around. Click on the handles of the image and you can resize it.
When in doubt try the usual things.

Moving image inside a shape (a bit like a TV)?

Hey, first time here, so apologies if this has been asked before.
It's a little tricky to word what I'm looking for, so searches haven't proved very fruitful. Basically, I'm looking to have an image move across a 'screen' like box. The best example I can think of is this:
http://i.gyazo.com/2f007ca29633a58bdf527c97dcc318e0.gif
Actually to be honest, that's exactly the effect I'm trying to achieve. Keeping the image inside a particular box, moving across it to give off a panning effect.
How can I achieve this with After Effects?

I checked back here knowing I'd find this. Yep, I applied that and it worked perfectly.
Thank you though.

Moving an image inside a frame

Hi all,
I have an image in place holder.
I want to resize and move the image inside it.
How can I do this with VBScript?
I tried to do this:
set myRect = myPage.Rectangles.Add
myRect.GeometricBounds = Array(17.2,10.8,38.3,40.2)
call myRect.Place("C:\image2.jpg")
call myRect.Fit(idFitOptions.idContentToFrame)
myRect.Resize idCoordinateSpaces.idInnerCoordinates, idAnchorPoint.idCenterAnchor, idResizeMethods.idMultiplyingCurrentDimensionsBy,Array(2, 2)
myRect.RotationAngle = 2
But it resize the frame and not the image...
Thanks
Yael

Revealing a larger image inside of a shape?

Using CS5, I want to take a shape, and to place larger images inside of the shape so that the only part of the larger image that is revealed is the part showing through the shape. I understand the Drawing Inside Mode, though I already have the larger artwork done, so it will not work with that drawing mode.
1. Is the name of the smaller shape the "mask" that will be masking the larger artwork?
2. How can I use the smaller shape to now hide the larger artwork except the part that will be revealed through the inside of the shape.
Thanks.

I am trying to create a polygon shape and place an image inside of it.

I am trying to create a polygon shape and place an image inside of it similar to this: http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/1f/47/51/1f4751aeb7c30099e4caf61393990fca.jpg
How do I go about doing it? Thanks!

Hi
You would need to design the image outside of Muse using any image editor like photoshop , where apply polygon frame on top of the image and area outside shape should match the color of the image of page, then insert the image on Muse page, it would be same effect. Currently we cannot create any shape in Muse , but you can try some customization using custom code.
Thanks,
Sanjit

How do I create a duplicate image inside the same page? Then how do I change the color of that image

how do I create a duplicate image inside the same page? Then how do I change the color of that image from black to red?

Hello there!
Here is one way to create a duplicate image and colorize it. As you can see below, I have one image right now, that I want to duplicate.
My layers panel looks like below.
To duplicate your image, click the downward arrow on the right side of your Layer Panel.
Select Duplicate Layer. This will duplicate the layer that the image is on.
Select "OK" to approve the duplication.
As you can now see in the Layers panel, the image is duplicated. The new layer is now at the top of the Layer panel.
Now to colorize your image, go to Window > Adjustments.
The Adjustments panel will now be opened. Select the Hue and Saturation icon as seen circled in red.
The Hue and Saturation propertied panel will be opened. I selected "Colorize", and adjusted the hue and saturation bar to achieve the level red in my photo.
As you can see below, the image is now red.
Now i want to make sure only ONE of my image layers is red. I moved the Hue and Saturation layer to only be on top of the bottom layer. The image on the top layer now will not be affected by the red.
Select the move tool, so I can now move the image layers so we can see both of them.
With each image layer selected, you can take the move tool and move the images. I moved mine on top of eachother and you can see my red layer (bottom) and the non red layer (top).
I hope that helps. i have also included helpful links.
Please post back with any questions,
Janelle

Moving an image in a drop zone

Is there any way of moving an image in a drop zone? at the moment its cropping the top half of a still image?

You can customize the shape, size, and position of a button in any menu but not drop zones unfortunately. In order to do this you'd need to modify the app itself. Most iLife users aren't up to such a task.
Might be easier to simply start with DvdSP (part of Apple's FCS 2). As complicated as DVDSP is, I believe it may be easier to learn apple's pro apps, as opposed to the actual hack for such modifications within iDvd.

Accessing all of the individual images inside a database?

I just checked my Pictures folder and found my iPhoto database, though I can not access the images inside it, when I double-click on the database file it opens iPhoto. Where are all of the individual images inside of my iPhoto database stored?
Thanks.

They are stored within the Library Package.
Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
So, accessing the files via the Finder is not supported. iPhoto replaces the Finder for anything you want to do with your images - and I do mean anything. It can all be don with with or via iPhoto. If you use it's the Go-To app for anything to do with you photos.
For instance: want to edit an image 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.
As to accessing your photos to upload/email/use in another app:
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.
Finally: If you want to inspect the Library package:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

Problems putting Images inside large buttons

The problem below is using the Fireworks program to create a
Button with an Image inside.
Ok I have created a generic button , This button is not a
fireworks button it was made from scratch, the size is roughly
90x90 , what I want to do is place and Image inside this button and
then to be able to move the image into the correct place, If I
paste the image into the button it simply places the image where it
wants I cannot move the image , I tried creating a Layer and Frame
and using the marque tool but it pastes the image top left hand
corner and the image cannot be moved.
Where am I going wrong.?.
SPECCY.

do this in an image editor. It would be much simpler/easier
and more
reliable that using html.
If you still want to do it in html, put the button image as a
background.

Problem with exporting moving still images

Hello.
I would like to create a sequence where the movie is made of still images (photos in .PSD format, reminiscent of a old-fashioned Polaroid photos) with added motion.
Now the problem is that after rendering and exporting (DV format, both interlaced and progressive) these moving-images somehow bounce or leap on the edges, especially inner white edge. It doesn't matter if I turn on or off the "optimize stills" option.
I attached short sample but it shows what I mean.
The file is 1MiB, 5sec, progressive, compressed with XviD with constant quantizer=2, resized to 640x480.
But all above modifications of exported file do not matter what so ever. It's the same with original export.
What shoud I do to improve fluency and smoothness of the movie?
I use Premiere Pro 1.5.

Hi,
I'm a newbee...brand new at learning premiere pro cs3....so I should not give you advice but others here are very very good at this stuff. I like the effect of your sample video. When I first looked at it I thought only the bottom edge was slightly jittery, but I can now see that the entire image inside the white border does jump...the jittery-ness is the vertical (not horizontal) movement of the image about 1 or 2 pixels up and down as it is interpolated at certain points in time. The larger the screensize of the image the more noticeable it is.
I found this help file about keyframes and animation and interpolation...
Change transition settings
In the Timeline panel, click a transition to select it.
In the Effect Controls panel, adjust settings:
Edge selectors
Change the orientation or direction of the transition. Click an Edge selector arrow on the transition’s thumbnail. For example, the Barn Doors transition can be oriented vertically or horizontally. A transition doesn’t have Edge selectors if it has one orientation or if orientation isn’t applicable.
Start and End sliders
Set the percentage of the transition that is complete at the start and end of the transition. Hold down the Shift key to move the start and end sliders together.
Show Actual Sources
Displays the starting and ending frames of the clips.
Border Width
Adjusts the width of the optional border on the transition. The default Border is None. Some transitions do not have borders.
Border Color
Specifies the color of the transition’s border. Double‑click the color swatch or use the eyedropper to choose the color.
Reverse
Plays the transition backward. For example, the Clock Wipe transition plays counterclockwise.
Anti‑Aliasing Quality
Adjusts the smoothness of the transition’s edges.
Custom
Changes settings specific to the transition. Most transitions don’t have custom settings.
Maybe the anti-aliasing quality adjustment will help?
I put your sample clip into VirtualDub and tried a filter called "Field Bob" (compensates for field jumping in field- split video by applying bob-deinterlacing techniques). In the filter setting I tried "smooth" for both even and odd fields. It didn't really help.

RotationY on MC with image inside

Is it possible to use rotationY on an MC that has an image inside? I am trying it and it does not seem to work. Is there another way to do this?
Thanks a lot!!!

I'm new to actionscripting but... I've been working with moving around 3d movie clips made of a number of bitmap images and haven't had any problems. Post the bit of code your having problems with and I might be able to help.

How do i get a placed image to appear as image inside a layer?

There is a long winded reason why I want this, but in essence I am trying to replicate another artwork that has been supplied to me.
When I place a Photoshop image (TIFF / PSD etc) how can I get it so that it simply appears as <image> inside the relevant layer (screen shot attached)
I am finding that when I place an image I do not get this

That's what I had assumed. It just doesn't seem to be working for me. You don't think there is a Preference setting that might disable it?

Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.

Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.
I opened a .dng image in LR and then opened it in the Develop module. I clicked on Crop Overlay and then on the ‘As Shot’ drop down menu (the lock is closed) and cropped to 11 x 17 and clicked ‘Done’-.
I click Cntl-E and the image opens in CC. There I click on Image > Image Size and the Image Size is 13.288 inches by 20.533 inches.
Why does the image size change?
I believe there is a menu to control the size of the image and I've looked everywhere I can think of in LR and CC, I googled various descriptions and I checked two of Scott Kelby's books, but I just can't figure out how to keep the image a consistent size when moving between LR and CC.
Help!...Please?

The penny will drop soon or maybe the cloud will lift.
In Lightroom all editing is undoable/nondestructive.
Hence a crop of 3x2 is not inches, centimetres, pixels or anything else. It is jst a ratio. When a file is exported, either to PS or disk, then the crop ratio has size determined in respect of pixels and inches or cms.
So my 6000x5000 pixel image I will crop to 3x2 that leaves (before exporting) a 6000x4000 file.
Now when exported it can be set to export at
100pixels per inch and will end up at 60x40" when printed.
200pixels per inch will end up at 30x20"
300ppi will end at 20x13.3"
You will notice in the Crop Tool there are no size denominations such as inches or centimetres as an image file only has pixels and the determination of size is done through exporting or printing.
Hope that helps somewhat..

Images inside pop-ups not displaying correctly

I am generating a CHM using RoboHelp 10. I have certain pop-ups in some topics. These pop-ups contain screen shots. After generating the CHM, when I click the pop-ups to view the screen shots, they are not displayed correctly. That is, half of the image does not appear and there are no horizontal scroll bars either to scroll. This happens for pop-ups that are appear on the left side of a topic.The images inside pop-ups that appear to the right side of a topic appear fine when clicked.

Hi Rick,
Thank you for the response. Alas, updating the DHTML effects doesn't help. In the project that am working, I have used hyperlinks that are marked to be displayed as auto-sizing pop-ups.
I also tried editing the eHlpDhtm.js file as mentioned in the thread here, https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1297423#expires_in=86399993&token_type=bearer&access_token =eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsIng1dSI6I…. But that was of no avail either.
Do you have any other insights here?
Regards,
Anamika
P.S. Am using RH 10.0.1.292.
