Need help with Photo editing

I just installed elements 11 and was trying to create a photo for my daughter for my daughter by combining two pictures but can not figure how to do it,  She has one picture with her niece holding a hand held mirror and another with the face of a fly and I need to insert the fly into the mirror and size it correctly. This seems like a simple task but I'm having trouble merging the two photo's

Make sure that the layers palette is open in Editor, expert mode.
This is a 2 step process:
Open the picture with the fly. Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to make a selection of the fly. When the selection is complete, you will see "marching ants" surrounding the fly.
Go to Edit menu>copy to place the fly on the clipboard.
Now open the picture with the mirror. Go to Edit menu>paste. The fly will be on its own layer. Get the move tool out of the toolbox, position the fly, and resize with the corner handles, if necessary.

    Quite! Never a good idea, even with really old software...

    The program software should install fine (others report using it successfully) but the difficulty has always been registering it. To do this you need to find a program (that often people discard, unfortunately) called ce2kreg.exe and run that. That's where you enter your registration details, and how you get rid of all the noises that CE2000 will put all over your audio otherwise (unless you severely restrict the facilities you can use).
    It used to be the case that if you'd lost the registration program but had the serial numbers, that Adobe would send you a copy of ce2kreg.exe, but somehow I doubt that they'd be willing to do this any more - it was a long time ago now, after all.

  • Help with Photo Editing

    Hey everybody!
    I need help. I manage the website www.finecharlestonart.com and if you look at the pictures of the paintings you can see part of the backgrounds. How can I remove the backgrounds in the pictures of the paintings? (not the paintings) I have alot of these so I need a way to do it easily and fast as I am not a photo editing person. I have GIMP and I would prefer not to have to buy photoshop or aperature. Thanks in advance!

  • Need help with Photo Stream

    I am having issues with Photo Stream and iPhoto when the iPhoto library is stored on a Drobo NAS. When I access the library stored on the NAS I see Photo Stream on the menu and when I access the library I get a  message that tells me I need to switch Photo Stream to this Library. I did select to switch Photo Stream over to this NAS library and I did get a big blue button that is suppose to start Photo Stream but when I push it nothing happens.
    I have contacted Apple support and they said that this is the way Photo Stream works and recommended that I submit a request to have this feature added at Apple\Feedback, if it is something I would like to have. They said if enough people request this feature they will add it but that Photo Stream does not currently support an iPhoto library stored on a remote NAS or shared network drive.
    My question is has anyone found a work around for this?  If you would like to have this feature added to Photo Stream can you please submit your request to Apple so they will add it, perhaps a little sooner than later?

    I checked today and this issue has been solved with the latest iPhoto update from Apple. I am running iPhoto 9.2.3 on my Snow Leopard Server which is sharing a Drobo NAS. I am also running iPhoto 9.2.3 on my MBP running Lion and I can now open my iPhoto Library and Photostream will work with the library and even automatically create events and move all my Photostream pictures into these events within the Library. I can then close the Library on my MBP and open the same Library from my Snow Leopard server and the new Events are there and I can move them around with no problem. Thank you Apple for this fix.   Even though I cannot deal with Photostream directly from the Snow Leopard server this is a very eligant work around.

  • I need help! Photo editing software question

    I have a PowerBook G4 with 1.5 Ghz processor, OS Leopard 10.6.8. I'm looking for a photo editing program (not photoshop, preferably cheap or free) that's easy to use and produces really good looking pics. Any ideas??- Thanks

    Your very welcome
    Give it ago and see how you get on, it's free so even if you don't like it, it's not cost anything other than time.

  • Video newbie needs help with multicam editing

    Hi all,
    My video editing experience is limited to a few iMovie projects, which you can view on YT (search for TheChampsTube).  For our final gig we did a 3 camera shoot, which was supposed to be produced by the videographer.  But he dropped the ball, and now I have the files - a motley assortment of m2t, mp4, xml and sfk - I'm converting with Handbrake.  My ancient iMac can't run FCP X so that's out. Also, I'm on a low budget, and will probably only need the software for this one project.  Can someone recommend an inexpensive way for me to get this footage assembled? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    You could try this technique.
    Or borrow a friend's Mac that supports FCP X and download the trial.
    Good luck.

  • Need help with photo placement & sizing in iPhoto Calendar

    Hi,
    I am in the process of creating a photo calendar for my wife for Xmas in iPhoto. Initially I just dragged and dropped most of the photos into the layouts I selected without any cropping or anything figuring that they would print out on the calendar exactly as they appeared on the screen. When I was almost all done I needed to crop a photo and in reading about how to do this I got nervous as the manual said iPhoto is not a WYSIWYG program.
    My question is if you drag and drop photos into preselected photo layout (1, 2, 3, etc photos to a page without cropping is it safe to assume that they will appear on the final calendar just as they appear on the screen?
    Thanks!
    Winston

    Winston:
    Yes, you should see what you see on the screen. However, to make sure all is as it should be, hold down the Option key and click on the Buy button. This will automatically put you is a create pdf file mode for the calendar at the same size as will be printed, 13 x 10.4 inches. You can check the pdf file to make sure all the photos appear as you want them and that all of the text is correct, typos, etc.
    Happy Holidays
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Need help with photo frame

    Below is a quick frame I made to re-use on my photos, which I overlayed onto an image.  I set the Blending Mode to Screen for the Frame Layer.
    The problem I am having is that when I try to reverse the colors on the frame, so that the border is Black, I get a pile of garbage.  The only part of the image that is visible is the area that should be hidden by the border, and the center of the image is white.  If I make the frame within the context of the image, it works, but not if I make it from scratch.
    What am I doing wrong?

    If you followed the steps, just fill Layer 1 with black or any color that you want the frame.
    Edit>Fill

  • New 5g touch need help with photo setting and..

    Hello!
    Can someone help me pls. I'm sure anyone who has a 4g touch or iphone 5 or previous iphone can help. I'm coming from ipod touch 2g so a lot of this technology is foreign to me. Anyway, I accidentally synced my photo's from my computer onto my touch. I don't want thousands of pics on there. I can't seem to find a delete button for the albums on the touch. How do I delete them from my ipod? I have transferred pictured I've taken from the ipod to my computer, so I am not worried about deleting them. I have deleted individual pictures but thousands would take forever one by one. Also, I have set this ipod as a new device as I want to be particular about what is on it. So I didn't want to back up from my 2g. I've notice that when I synced and chose the game/apps I wanted on the device that they all reset. the games have deleted their save information and I have to start from scratch. Is this normal?
    Thanks,
    From a long time coming updated device!

    I think I might need a little clarification on your problem. But just to clarify, the iPod Touch nor the iPhone support synchronization over WiFi, they still have to be synchronized over a physical iPod cable. Are you trying to get both the iPod and the computer connected to the internet? Do you own a wireless router?

  • Need help regarding photo editing

    hi all,
    I am developing an application which is based on editing the images(photos).The basic functionality of the application is that it changes the background of the image which contains blue or green color as background to a selected digital background.This application also contains some other features like changing the canvas size,keying of the foreground image,filters,positioning,combine filters.
    I am novice to this concept.by using JAI(java advanced api) can i able to implement all these features.If not suggest me any third party API so that i can move forward.
    Please guide me on this issue so that I can move further.
    I apologize for my poor english.
    Thanking You in advance.

  • Need help with audio edit - how can I censor myself?

    Hello, all. I have a problem that I don't know how to solve.
    Let me say, first and foremost, how much I dislike iMovie '08. I miss '06 so much! It was so straightforward and easy to use. This new (well, now old) version is so blocky and simple that it's completely backwards; I straight-up don't know how to operate it. And I'm a film student! It's so embarrassing.
    Here's the problem. I'm working on editing a vlog for release tomorrow, and I need to "bleep" a bad word I say. I have the censor beep, and I have it anchored over the clip I want to censor, but I can't find a way to actually mute the audio from the video, so that only the bleep plays. At this point, I'm bleeping, but you can still hear the bad word. Completely ineffectual.
    I've tried everything in my extremely limited arsenal to solve this problem, but no dice. Help!

    Drag the mouse to select the video frames that you want to mute. A yellow border should be around them.
    Then, EDIT//SPLIT CLIP (or right-click/Split Clip).
    On this split clip, open the Audio Inspector and set the volume to zero.

  • Need help with an edit

    I have an .avi that shows I can copy and paste selections ( not grayed out )
    When I paste into a new window it does not work, paste is available from edit.
    Divx doc shows an error when trying to repair ERR =-2009
    any help would be appreciated

    If I copy & paste into a new window, another window opens for second saying importing movie.
    I have never seen this before when doing a copy paste.
    It also does not work, it shows a black screen with a name of a cast member.
    No sound or video when it plays.
    any way to fix this and get it to work. I only want to use a small portion of the film.
    It says movie format is divx 5.0
    What about exporting to an editable form?
    I'm just guessing as I'm a novice at this.
