Need software to apply image filter to text

I am looking for software which will apply a filter or effect to text to mask or fill images into text. The software is a suite of several packages offering different image fills per pack. I do not remember the name of the software nor do I recall the name of the manufacturer. Uggh.
Please help if you know the name of the software or manufacturer I am speaking of. The software has a series of pre-defined library of images to apply to text with a "click of a button". I do not remember if the text is rendered in 3D or 2D. The software I am referring to is either a separately packaged application OR a plug-in or filter for Photoshop. It offers 3 or 4 volumes of images or textures to apply to text.
For example, it has filters like Swiss Cheese or Sponge. The Swiss Cheese example would fill the text with cheese but also have the edges distorted if a hole in the cheese intersected with the edge of the text thereby creating a "dent" or "hole" in the surface. Some other effects were bubbles, stone, grass, flowers, giraffe, zebra, etc.

Alex,
Could it be the Extensis PhotoTools (note: name might have changed, since I got it many years ago)?
Good luck,
Hunt

Need help with my image filter

hi guys,
so i'm making this image filter for school in Labview but can't get it to work properly, to do the filtering i'm using a formula node, which in my eyes is easier then with only labview functions.
for the C code i'm following this website: http://lodev.org/cgtutor/filtering.html
i don't copy exact every line, i'm only copying the lines i need. note that i don't use the "ColorRGB" class because it doesn't exist in a formula node, i do the filtering on a black and white image so don't really need it.
I adjusted to code so that it would work in my formula node.
if i run the vi and select the attached image file (can't attach .bmp files so i included a link for the img file) for input then it just returns the original image, which is good and also bad, good because the code works in some way but bad because it doesn't do any filtering or such.
Could anyone please look into this and give me some tips or tell me what i'm doing wrong?
and if anyone knows how to do this in RGB you are always welcome to give me tips.
used image file: http://www13.zippyshare.com/v/74810991/file.html (can't attach bmp files so i uploaded it quickly)
(btw i know there is this toolkit called vision which has many functions that could help me, but the teacher already said we can't use that)
i hope somebody can assist me in this and willing to give me some help.

Yes there are two bugs, I found the other one first but figured if you fixed the result the other would be obvious. This is homework so only a hint:
look at what happens (and does not happen) to pixel.
the first bug was that i had to use the 'result[][]' array instead of the 'image[][]' array in my last loop, right?
the 2nd bug I really can't find :s been lookin at it for almost an hour now and trying new stuff but nothing works,
first i thought i had to put this line " result[x][y] = min(max(int((factor2 * pixel) + bias2), 0), 255);" inside the for loop above but that didn't fix my problem,
maybe the problem is in my 'imageX' and 'imageY' variable, i don't know? any more tips?
I'm sorry for being such a newb but programming isn't my strongest quality.

Just one more advice:
Look at the format of the "image" array. The way how to use the values from this array depends on the "image depth" parameter.
In your case, because the image is 8bit, you need to use the "colors" array containing the real RGB value.
Look at the Help for the "Read BMP File VI", you should be able to properly handle your pixels from there.
thanks for pointing that out for me, so I connect the 'totalpix' array with the 'colors' array from the image data instead of the 'image' array, that's correct right?

No one will give you that. You only can download to update the bios you will not get the source code and any bios you download and edit is use at your own risk. And since we have no P/N no one can direct you to the BIOS update your system needs. If HP support didn't give you this information why do you think the HP user are going to have access to that information.

To group images with created text frame and apply label for it...

Hi Everyone,
We are currently working in auto figure placements for CS3. I have placing the figures into the document. Then i am creating figure caption text frames below the images. Here the concern is i need to group these image and the text box. After this i have to place these images with captions into corresponding pages where the figures have been cited. Also suggest me how to place these images in center of the page as well as in top or bottom of the page margin.
Can anyone help me for this. Your help will be much appreciated.

The shadow effect has to have something to be applied on, but by default text frames borders and fills are invisible.
If you set the border of your frame to a color & thickness, you'll see it gets a shadow of its own, independent of the text. (Try it with dotted and dashed lines!)
Additionally, if you set the fill of your text frame to a solid color, you'll see the single solid shadow you were expecting.

How can I apply an image filter to an entire Applet?

Hey there,
I was wondering, is it possible to apply an image filter of sorts to an entire applet rather than to images? I'm writing a little game in java for a university project and basically I'm only using functions like drawrect and drawpolygon etc, and I want to apply fairly simple filters like blur etc. Is there any way I can achieve this kind of effect with the draw functions?
Thanks
-Spec

You might do better in the 2-D or Swing forums.
I don't have an answer, but it's an intriging problem. Basically you need to get all the components to paint themselves into the graphics context of an offscreen buffer, then apply the transformation, then paint the buffer onto the screen.
(Some hackery must be involved though. For instance blurring, by definition, means that components will have an onscreen appearance outside their bounds. So you are sort of fighting against Swing's painting mechanism - if a portion of your applet, close to but outside the bounds of a particular component, becomes visible that component will have to redraw itself, although Swing won't know that.)

Applying smart filter to a cropped image

In my case, I have a smart layer and the smart filters on it.
I cropped the smart layer without deleting cropped pixels and now I want to apply a little bit vignette and a border with one of the smart filters.
But, the smart filter is applied to all the pixels in the image, not to the cropped ones.
I'm duplicating the smart layer and rasterizing it and applying the filter on this second rasterized layer, but there is no way, the filter is always applied to the uncropped image.
Is there a way to apply a smart filter only to the cropped pixels of an image?

So, this would mean that by using a color matte underneath, it's parameters would be independent of those of the image above it?
Yes
If I wanted to have the image move or re-size, I would have to then apply the changes to the border seperately as well?
Yes, although since you are cropping an image you could copy the clip you've cropped, then Control Click the matte clip, select Paste Attributes, and check the Crop box. This will size your matte to the exact crop of your clip. Then load the clip into the viewer and since it's a crop you can slightly modify the crop or you can simply move the matte clip a little down and to the right or left or whatever your taste desires. Now you have your clip and a border.
If I wanted to have the image move or re-size, I would have to then apply the changes to the border seperately as well? Or would I nest them into 1 clip then apply size changes?
At this point Nesting them would be faster.

Need to make a 20 second HD clip with a moving image background and text thats flies in...

Hi all im quite new to after effects and need to make a 20 second HD clip with a moving image background and text thats flies in. I also need to create a basic cross image. If anyone could suggest the best way to go about doing this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Thank you for both of your reponses and I will try and be clearer:
what I want to acheive is a HD motion graphic of text which will almost spin onto the screen letter my letter and then a become static word. Behind this I would like to place a moving image clip.
By 'basic cross image' what im looking to do is use a cruifix shape instead of a 't' on the text.
I hope this makes sense and thanks again!

Need software which can send images to my editor, have them make selections, share them with me so I can edit the images and send the final results back to them. Will Lightroom work?

Need software which can send images to my editor, have them make selections, share them with me so I can edit the images and send the final results back to them. Will Lightroom work?

What I would like to do is to use Lightroom as I have been doing with LR 5.7. Tag certain images to be shared to the Creative Cloud which my editor can then see and tag as to which she would like to see final versions of. In the best case, I would then see these tags and edit the images as appropriate and save the JPEGs back to the Cloud where she can download them for final production.
Possible?

Need help to apply filter in my query

Hi,
I have records of incidence in my table. These incidences have two types, one is normal incidence where I have incidence flag N and other is altered incidence where I have incidence flag Y. These incidences can have multiple status like 1. Cancelled 2. Closed 3. Open etc.
A single incidence can have multiple plan to complete this and further this plan contains multiple activities.
Now I have to apply a filter for my report, based on below conditions.
I want to show all the records of incidences for normal incidence.
exclude records for altered incidence where incidence status = Cancelled
exclude records for altered incidence where status is closed and plan completion date is null
exclude records for altered incidence where activity status = Cancelled
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shantanu

Hi, Shantanu,
This does what you requested:
SELECT    *
FROM       table_x
WHERE       incidence     = 'N'
OR       (    status               != 1     -- Cancelled
       AND (   status           != 2     -- Closed
            OR completion_date     IS NOT NULL
       AND activity_status          != 'Cancelled'
;Among other things, this assumes that status and activity_status are never NULL. If they can be NULL, the solution is a little messier, but only a little: instead of things like
status   != 1you have to say
NVL (status, 0)   != 1
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

Apply Image - I need help!

I'm trying to use the apply image tool for bringing back some texture, but all I can get in Subtract mode is a gray screen......I chose the active layer I'm working on (which is a duplicate of the background), RGB channel, subtract, 100% opacity, scale 2, offset 128...that's it....and still a gray screen. There should be an outline of my image, much like I would get under high pass, but it's just a gray layer.

Applying a filter to multiple display objects

I have a large amount of btn's that load full size images when clicked. I simply want to add a filter, scaleX and scaleY to each of those buttons and I know there is a better method then typing each btn name with an eventListener for the Mouse_Over and Mouse_Out events. I understand that I need to create a variable of a new filter and then apply it to the display object. Like so..
var glow:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0x0066FF, 1, 10, 10);
function hover(event:MouseEvent):void
pic1_btn.filter = new Array(glow);
pic1_btn.scaleX = 1.02;
pic1_btn.scaleY = 1.02;
pic1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, hover);
function noHover(event:MouseEvent):void
pic1_btn.filter = new Array();
pic1_btn.scaleX = 1;
pic1_btn.scaleY = 1;
pic1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, noHover);
So if I were to continue this, I would have to type out pic1_btn, pic2_btn, pic3_btn and so on to apply a filter to each object and also type out the object name for each listener. NUTS! So my question is what is the best way to approach this? Thanks for your help.

Thank you for that information yesterday, it was really helpful.
OK so what I have is a pretty simple album. At the top of hierarchy I have a file named "loader.swf" that requires a password and then loads the "album.swf" then depending on the button that is selected on the "album.swf" an additional .swf is loaded. These additional .swf's contain the thumbnail buttons which we are discussing and when those buttons are clicked an external full size .jpg is loaded. Following are the actions from the main timeline.
var picLoader:Loader = new Loader();
bar_mc.alpha = 0;
function progressHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void
      var myprogress:Number = event.target.bytesLoaded/event.target.bytesTotal;
      addChild(bar_mc);
      addChild(myTextField_txt);
      bar_mc.alpha = 100;
      bar_mc.scaleY = myprogress;
      myTextField_txt.text = Math.round(myprogress*100)+"%";
picLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
function imageLoaded(event:Event):void
      addChild(picLoader);
      removeChild(myTextField_txt);
      removeChild(bar_mc);
      picLoader.x = (stage.stageWidth - picLoader.width)/2;
      picLoader.y = (stage.stageHeight - picLoader.height)/2;
picLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);
function removeFull(event:MouseEvent):void
      picLoader.unload();
      removeChild(picLoader);
picLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeFull);
On the main timeline I have an instance of a movie clip called "mcThumbs". Within this movieclip I have different pages on different layers and 12 thumbnails per page.
And the actions for mcThumbs
stop();
function picClick(event:MouseEvent):void
      this.parent.picLoader.load(new URLRequest(event.target.name + ".jpg"));
for(var a:uint=1; a<=76; a++)
      this["newborn"+String(a)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, picClick);
function hover(event:MouseEvent):void
      event.currentTarget.scaleX = 1.02;
      event.currentTarget.scaleY = 1.02;
function noHover(event:MouseEvent):void
      event.currentTarget.scaleX = 1;
      event.currentTarget.scaleY = 1;
for(var i:uint=1; i<=76; i++)
      this["newborn"+String(i)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, hover);
      this["newborn"+String(i)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, noHover);
function goBack(event:MouseEvent):void
      if(currentFrame == 1)
            gotoAndStop(totalFrames);
      else
            prevFrame();
function goForward(event:MouseEvent):void
      if(currentFrame == totalFrames)
            gotoAndStop(1);
      else
            nextFrame();
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goBack);
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goForward);
This is where the issue arises. If you hover over a thumbnail button and then go to an different page, that same thumbnail button will remain visible behind the thumbnails of that page.

How do I apply a filter to a layer without having a selection affect it?

I have 3 layers. I have been working on two, and have a a selection running so I can apply filters on those two. I now want to add a 3rd layer, and both move it and apply filters to it, but I want the entire new layer affected. However, the selection I previously made affects the new layer. If I move it, the selection moves, if I apply a filter, it applies only to the selection. This is not what I want, as I want to experiment with positioning and filtering this layer behind the selections. I will have other things to do with the selections as I continue, so I don't want to deselect and lose the selection. I'm thinking this should be simple, but I cannot find the right "magic words" to find the answer. How do I get a layer to be independent of a selection on other layers? The layers are not linked. Working with CS6.

Hi nitmd88,
You've asked a very good question. You can save selections and reuse them over and over again in Photoshop. The way to do that is to save them with the Channel panel. Here's how to do it:
Create a selection.
Choose Window > Channels to display the Channels panel. At the bottom of the Channels panel, click the Save Selection button. A new channel will be created. This is an exact replica of the selection you made.
Now that your selection is saved and can be reactivated at anytime, you can deselect (Select > Deselect) and work on other areas of your image. Anytime you need to activate that selection, simply choose Select > Load Selection and choose the Alpha channel you saved in step 2.
I hope this helps,
Luanne

InDesign CS3 Scripting XML Import Multiple Images into same Text Frame

I am having trouble importing multiple images into the same Text Frame using XML import. I imported 5 images into the text frame. However, all 5 images are laying on top of one another. Does anyone know if there is a way to have all images laying out like how Microsoft Word handles inline images, i.e., laying out next image to the right of previsous image in the same line and if there is not enough space left in the line, then wrap to next line. Thanks in advance. I understand I could use JavaScript to do post import processing, e.g, calculate the image size and place each images accordingly. But I am trying to see whether there is a way to do this without scripts.

You can apply an object style to all anchored images by script. A text frame containing main flow should be selected.
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var textFrame = app.selection[0];
var rectangles = textFrame.texts[0].rectangles;
if (rectangles.length > 0) {
for (var i=0; i < rectangles.length; i++) {
rectangles[i].appliedObjectStyle = doc.objectStyles.item("Cover");
However, there is a better approach:
Step 1
Create place holders for a single "Book" element and format it as needed -- apply an object style to the cover.
Step 2
Import the xml file -- the placeholders are replaced with data from the 1st xml element
Step 3
Drag & drop the element containing all "Books" elements into the main flow -- all elements are placed and formatted the same way as in step 1.
Finally, add a new page, click the overset text icon and autoflow text to add pages so that to fit all the text.
Hope this helps.

Page set up as an image rather than text: why?

I built my website using iWeb and added several of the same type of page. For some reason, 2 of the 6 pages appear as images rather than text. Seemingly search engines don't pick up the information on them in that case and since these are my two most important pages, I need to fix this. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thanks.

I downloaded the software you suggested
What software was that? I didn't recommend any software in this topic. Are you referring to the software I suggested for adding "alt" titles to photos? That shouldn't have anything to do with text boxes getting converted to images. What type of page are you working with, welcome, photo, etc? Have you set iWeb's Texts preferences so that it will display this indicator when a text box is converted to an image:
Make sure the text boxes are not overlapping any other object on the page. Can you provide the URL so we can view the problem first hand?
