Moving masked images

Hi!
I'm just making my second presentation with keynote, and it's great.
But, i need to do something and have no idea how should i do it. I need to move a image masked right to left, but i DO NOT want to move the mask. Is this possible?
Thank you so much.

Welcome to the forum!
There is no straightforward way to do what you want, unfortunately. A workaround would be to create a "mask" for the image manually. To do this: a) take a screenshot at full size of the slide in the initial state that you want, b) using an application like Graphic Converter or Photoshop, delete the area you want the moving image to appear in, and save the resulting graphic as a PNG (this will leave the deleted area transparent), then c) use this graphic as the slide "background", putting the image to be moved behind it and animating it appropriately.

Mouse cursor moving mask over another image.

Hi, Is it possible to have where the Mouse cursor is on the page moving mask over another image. Imagine a black screen with a star cut out of the middle(where the cursor is) and u can see the image behind.
Any examples on how to do this?
Can it be done in html instead?

Create the mask and the background as movieclips and then assign the mask as the mask property of the bacground movieclip... as in background.mask = msk (where msk is the instance name of the mask).
Then assign a MOUSE_MOVE event listener to the mask and in the event handler for that listener have its x and y properties assigned to be the mouseX and mouseY properties

Pasting a masked image unto another picture, background shows

I have a photo that I wanted to show just the people and no background. I masked the photo and have just the people. Now I want to take that photo and paste it unto another photo that has a blurr background effect. When I do the paste of the masked photo the background of that photo that I masked shows on top of the blurr background . How do I do this paste with only the people that I selected in the mask.
thanks
Mike

Here's a step by step overview of what I did to blur the background behind people:
1. Duplicate the original image as a second layer.
2. Mask so that the people only are showing in the top layer.
3. Use the mask to create a selection of the people only (Ctrl-click on the upper layer's Mask).
4. Make the top layer invisible and activate the lower layer.
5. Expand the selection to encompass a few pixels around each of the people.
6. Edit - Fill - Content Aware (which eliminates the people from the lower layer).
7. Filter - Blur - (Gaussian or Lens, depending on your preference).
If you did not duplicate your image as in step 1 above, don't worry, you can still get a second copy of the image from what you have:
A. Duplicate your masked image as a second layer.
B. Delete the layer mask from the lower layer.
C. Start with step 3 above.
If it's not clear to you how to accomplish any of these operations, I encourage you to look them up, so that you can become familiar with how to find out how to operate the software, but if you get stumped just ask and I (or someone else) will be happy to elaborate.
The first 2 minutes 45 seconds of this video shows how to do something a lot what you're doing here. Instead of moving your subjects, blur your background.

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..

Moving multiple images

I'm using RoboHelp 7.02. I have several images that were
imported into various help files at the top level. This really
clutters up my Project Manager, so I set about the task of putting
all those images into an Image folder.
I was happy to discover that moving an image in Project
Manager updates the links in the topics. But, I cannot select
multiple images. Is there a method unknown to me for selecting
multiple images so I can move them into the Images folder while
updating the links in the topics?
Kevin

As above, it is not possible.

Drawing moving GIF images?

Is it possible to draw moving gif images on a simple Frame applet?
I made an image drawer class for my applet and i can draw simple 2d images.
Here is the basis of my GameSprite class;
    public byte[] pixels;
    public int width;
    public int height;
    public GameSprite(String imageName, int requestIndex) {
     try {
                // Removed code, it's zipInputStream, but it can be used just as ./image.jpg etc
     javax.swing.ImageIcon icon = new javax.swing.ImageIcon(fileBytes);
     width = icon.getIconWidth();
                 height = icon.getIconHeight();
                 pixels = fileBytes;
     } catch(Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
    public void drawSprite(int x, int y) {
     try {
          Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(pixels);
                                //Removed code here
          graphics.drawImage(image, x, y + 7, width, height, observer);
     } catch(Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
    }If i try to draw an animated gif image it dosn't move.
Thanks for any help.

In Java you need to override the paint method in AWT and paintComponenet method in SWING to do graphics/animation. If you go to an offscreen rendering, then you can paint to the graphics context of an image you use for a drawImage in your paint/paintComponent...
If you where overriding a Panel in AWT you would override paint:
public void paint(Graphics g){
g.drawImage(im, 0, 0, this);
}Then where you are maipulating your graphics you would do something like this:
//code snippet
Graphics g = im.getGraphics();
//make what ever changes to im by manipulating the graphics context g
repaint();

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.

File>reconnect, and then help the organizer out by pointing it to where you moved them.

Moving Master Images after Facebook Upload

I'm using a fully updated version of Aperture 3 and ran into a problem today moving master images that I have not experienced before. My normal workflow is to batch import images from my camera every few days in one large import, so I often have multiple subjects in every batch. For my 9 months with the program I have always downloaded everything into a temporary holding project I literally call "Hold". When I get the time to do a detailed review, I then delete what I don't want and move (drag) the master images I want to keep from "Hold" into other subject-matter-unique projects across the library. This works for me and has worked flawlessly until today when I downloaded about 20 images. What I did differently today was I took things out of my usual order and decided to quickly upload 3 of the images from the "Hold" folder to Facebook using the Aperture Uploader. The upload went fine, as it has in the past, but the problem surfaced when I then tried to move all the master images out of "Hold" to my permanent library file (project) structure. The 17 images (which were not uploaded to Facebook) moved out to their new projects just fine, as always, but the 3 masters which were the source for the Facebook upload will not allow themselves to be moved out of "Hold". When I drag them to the intended project, Aperture copies them into that project, but the original stays in "Hold." Of course, if I try to then delete what is in "Hold" (with a copy safely filed away elsewhere in the Library) I get the warning that I am attempting to delete a master upon which other versions are dependent (to include "Facebook albums" it says), and all will be deleted.
My take on this is the Facebook upload from "Hold", and the resulting versions created in the Facebook album (far bottom entries on the Library listing), now make "Hold" a permanent home for those associated master images. Is there some way to get around this and actually move the master images to where I want them to be AND to de-clutter the "Hold" folder? Or does this mean any use of Aperture's very handy (at least to date) Facebook uploader permanently glues a master to whatever project it was in when it was uploaded, never to fully and completely move again? Thanks.

I just made a test of this, and can confirm the apparent behavior. However, I examined the Masters folder in the Package of the Library (and I have a Managed Library) and I believe there may be some referencing between Projects taking place. The same appears to result where you have created a slideshow. In the Facebook album and in the Slideshow album, the file info reports the master file name -- in my case the xxxx.NEF file, which clearly none of them really are, but rather some version.
I will try to do a more precise test where I can measure the size of the Masters folder to see if the "Move" adds to its size by an amount equal to the size of the Master file.
Interesting!

Masked images in Illustrator

My illustrator cs4 file had a placed image that was masked (just cropped with a rectangle).. When the file came into FC, there was no image at all.
How do I set up a cropped image in Illustrator that I can bring into FC, cropped?

Here's the deal with the imported PNG. On import we use an Illustrator CS4 library to convert to FXG, then merge the FXG into the MXML of your project. While our current CS4 library supports incoming .psd, .jpeg, .tiff and other formats, it doesn't support PNG. So the PNG is dropped. This is noted in the beta release notes under the Illustrator import section, and will be fixed when we integrate a newer version of the library next month.
With regard to animating the masked image and keeping SWF sizes to a minimum.. fortunately and unfortunately, the masking happens at runtime. In this case – not a great solution. However what's already on the table for performance reasons is offering an option to crop Photoshop Shape layers to their masked boundaries on import. We may be able to leverage some of this code to crop masked items on Illustrator import as well. I'll check into it and talk to a couple of our developers.

Flash CS4 publishes/previews with missing masked images

This has me stumped and frustrated!
I have some simple bitmaps that I've masked with graphics.
When I use the playhead to watch the movie, it looks fine. When I preview or publish, the masked images are missing completely.
What could I be doing wrong?
Help!
Thanks heaps!
A couple additional notes - the layer with the graphic (symbol) is rotated and the layer above it (mask) is also rotated at an angle. I don't see how that should matter at all...

Thanks for the quick reply -
Here's a screenshot. I have a total of 4 masked images throughout the movie (none of which are working). In this case, I'm showing you "mask" (the orange box) and "photo-windows" (the image below it)

Moving an image between chapters

I have having difficulty moving an image from one chapter to another in iBooks Author. I can't drag it beyond its own chapter and I can't copy and paste it as nothing is pasted. Any ideas anyone?

Have you tried simply using the original image to create the other placements instead...repeating the original process instead of c/p....?

Masking a masked image

Hello!
I've created a masking layer within Photoshop an an image by
drawing a
vector path and imported it into FW. The masking path comes
out
properly. Now I want to mask this masked image with a
rectangle (or any
other vector path), but all FW does is to mask the image with
the
rectangle and forgets the initial masking path. What should I
do? I want
to preserve the original masking path and don't want to make
path
operations to get the final masking shape.
