Moving image inside of a mask

Hi,
I would like to have in my iBook an image which is masked and which can be moved inside of the mask.
Does anyone has an idea how this can be done?
Thanks

Background on track 1.
Front image track 2.
Mask track 3.
Animate track 2 how you want it to behave, make sure it stays within the mask.
If you cannot see the front image properly lower the opacity of the mask temporarily a bit. Just to show through.
Now nest track 2 and add Track Matte effect to this nested sequence.
Set Track Matte effect to track 3.

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 Images Inside of Stack (not using context menu)

I have not had success moving images around in an expanded stack using the drag-and-drop functionality of the mouse. When I do try to drag an image within the stack, I get an outline of an image but when I try to drop to a new location within the stack, nothing happens.
Using the context menu to re-order a bunch of images is impractical.
What am I doing wrong?

I don't believe you are doing anything wrong. It appears the only thing you can do by mouse to a expanded stack, besides close it to the stack, is click the white box with the, i.e. [4 of 10] to make that image the top image.

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.

Can an image in the slideshow widgets be moved around inside the bounding box as can be in a normal image placed into Muse (double clicking on a placed image gives the functionality to move the image around - as per Indesign functionality)

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

How do I import an image with an opacity mask from AI into FW

I have created a graphic in AI which contains several images with associated opacity masks. The mask use a radial gradient to achieve the desired effect. I am unable to import these images into FW with the mask effects intact even though the layers appear to be there. What am I doing wrong? I don't see away to do it in FW directly. If there's a work-around that would be appreciated too.

Fireworks' masking is pretty good. If you have your object and your mask in FW, arrange the objects so that the mask is above the object, select both, then click on
Modify > Mask > Group as Mask
Where the mask is white, your object will be fully opaque. Where the mask is black or 100% transparent, your object will be fully transparent. Where the mask is grey or partially transparent, your object will be, as well, proportionally to the grey level/transparency level in the mask.
Fireworks also has some built-in masks to fade objects radially or linearly. In CS3, these are under
Commands > Creative > Fade Image
but they got moved someplace else for CS4. I can't find the info on that in the help, though, sorry. Oh wait. It might be the Auto Vector Masks:

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

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.

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.

Image inside font

This tutorial shows how to place image inside font using layer mask http://www.photoshopessentials.com/basics/clipping-masks-and-type/
Can someone suggest how to place different image inside each letter?

One way is to place each image on separate layer like normal then select a character and make it a selection, then apply that selection as a mask for that image layer.
Another way is to select a character , make it a selection and then choose Edit>Paste into.
To make a selection -
Type out your text
hold down ctrl or cmd key and click on the T icon in the text layer - this will make a selection for all the characters.
hold down the alt or opt key and drag a negative selection around the characters you don't want
You now have a selection for a single character, once you apply the above repeat these steps to select another character.
Or
You can use the text mask selection tools hidden in the text fly out. Using these tools will allow you to type out characters of a selection instead of live text.
So you can type all to once and do all the steps above, or simply do one character at a time and save a bunch of repetitive wasted time.
To access the hidden text tools move your mouse over the text tool in the left tool bar then press your mouse button down and wait a few seconds and the fly out will appear or if you happen to have a two button mouse you can simply right click on the tool for it to instantly appear.
To recap the simplest method -
Place your images
Select one of the image layers
Using the text mask tool type the first character
Click the move tool (lowercase v) to get out the text tool and leave you with just a selection
Layer>Layer Mask>Reveal selection or {click the icon at the bottom of the layers panel that looks like a circle inside of a square} This will convert the selection to a mask.
Repeat for the rest of the characters.

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?
