Need to merge 3 images, each a channel, into 1 image

I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS4. I have 3 grayscale images. Each is the same dimensional size and resolution. One is labeled "green," one is labeled "blue," and one is labeled "red." So each is supposed to be a channel of an RGB image.
I need to merge these 3 images into 1 single RGB image. Can someone please walk me through the steps of doing this? Thank you very much!

With the three images open, go to the channels panel of any image. Choose merge channels from the channel panel flyout menu. It should be pretty self-explanatory from there.
More about it here:

Do we need unique program ids for different SAP Channels

Hi All,
I am using different channels for receiving SalesOrder and Invoice idocs from SAP system. Wanted to confirm if we need unique program ids for each SAP channel or a single program id can be configured in SAP GUI to receive both idocs. I am using SOA 11g.
Regards
Subhankar

Unique program id for each type of IDOC is preferred per each channel
IDOC Type 1->Programid1->Channel1
IDOC Type 2->Programid2->Channel2

How to show each color channel image of a video on Final Cut Pro X

Hi, Sir,
How to show each color channel (R or G or B) image of a video on Final Cut Pro X? I found this feature is useful for the image quality editing, such as the noise reduction.

Do you mean this?

Merge a photo and pen strokes into a single image

Good day.
I need to add a Camera and Pen control so that I take a picture, and then write with the pen above it. Is there any way to merge both photo and pen strokes into a single image, so I can stored them in a collection??
Thanks,

You cannot merge them into one physical image, but you can still store them in a collection for later display. Collect them, just like you would anything else, just store the photo as one name, and the pen as another.
Where you want to display them, just use two image controls, directly above each other. Set one to the photo, and one to the pen.

Thanks, I stored the photo url and strokes in the same collection, and then I did what you suggested: two image controles, one above the other. Thanks!

Need to square various images - some tall, others wide - ideas?

I have several thousand images. They vary in size and some are tall and others wide.
I need to have all images square. Not wanting to lose resolution or have smaller images expanded and look bad.
How can I make all of my images square? Which if any of your programs would do that in a batch process?
examples:
An image 200 x 400 end up 400 x 400
an image 800 x 600 end up 800 x 800
and so on. Or if anything make them all 600 x 600 wand resize down large images or give white space around smaller images.
Which program if any will do this?
thanks,
Dave

Mass resizing tutorial
So you're wanting uniform size? You can use Image Processor script along with an action to make them all square in 1 simple click of the Run button (after you apply the right settings, of course.) Yes, all however many thousand images you have! We want to get this done in 1 swoop, which is possible, especially since all the images are ending up being the same size. I'm going to hold anyone's hand and do this step by step for anyone who has minimal to expert experience in photoshop. This explanation is very simple to follow.
1: Preparation to make them square
Heres the first step for the canvas size to be made uniform and square-y with a simple action. If you don't want square-y but still want uniform, skip this step. Let's say you want to make those thousands of pictures all 600 x 600 pixels. This is the preparation step. Make a new blank document 400 x 400 pixels. Make a new action, and name it Canvas Resize, and hit the record buton to start recording your actions. Change the canvas size to 600 x 600 pixels, and after you do that, stop the action recording. Close the document.
2: Organize so PhotoShop can process all your photos in 1 swoop
So we want to make everything 600 x 600. I'm using CS4, but CS3 and CS2 (and probably older versions of PS) all have a feature called Image Processor. This is the time to consolidate all the images you want to process into 1 main folder for an easy 1 click operation. Make two folders on your desktop and label one Pictures and the other Processed. You can either toss all your picture files which you want to process into the Pictures folder for a giant mess, or if you're organized, toss a bunch of organized folders into the Pictures folder, and you can keep your folder organization automatically. I'd recomming copying (NOT moving your pictures, COPYING) and organizing your pictures to be processed in the Pictures folder so that you don't potentially ruin your current organization of your photo archive. I've made my messes before moving files around and trying to figure out where I pulled them from.
3: Now that we're organized:
After you've consolidated your files, we will use photoshops Image Processor feature. First, click on File -> Go to Scripts -> Click Image Processor. A dialogue box will pop up with a bunch of options. Section 1 (section numbers are on the left) is "Select Images To Process." Click the Select Folder button and find the Pictures folder on the desktop with your images in it, and select the folder. Click OK. If your images are in multiple sub-folders inside the Pictures folder, and you want to process everything in each folder, check the Include Sub-Folders box so itll process everything inside. In section 2 of the Image Processor, "Select the Location to Save Processed Images," select where your batch of images is going to be saved. Select the Processed folder for this. If you have your photos organized in a sub-folder folder structure, and want to keep that organization, check the "Keep folder structure" box so it will structure your folders inside the Processed folder the same way it was structured inside the Pictures folder. Now for the file type. Choose whichever file type you want to save your photos as. Check "Resize to fit", and in the resolutions for width and height, put the same number in both. This will NOT stretch the images, but it will take whichever dimension is larger and scale it your specified number, and keep the aspect ratio the same! For example, say you have an 1800 x 1200 image, which is a 3:2 aspect ratio. If you type 1200 x 1200 in the dimensions, wether vertical or horizontal, it will resize the long dimension of the image to 1200, and the shorter to 800 and keep the 3:2 ratio. Cool, huh? This makes it painfully easy to do thousands of pictures overnight if you want them the same maximum dimension wether vertical or horizontal.
Now for the magic:
In section 4, "Preferences" in the Image Processor, you can have PS apply actions to pictures after they've been resized. Ain't that fancy? Check the Run Action box, and select the Canvas Resize action we created earlier. Since we created an action that changes the canvas size to 600 x 600 pixels, the action of making it square will be done all in 1 shot! Any picture 600 x ? will be made into 600 x 600 with whatever color you chose your background to be in recording your action. Now, click the Run button, and your computer will angrily churn all your images into perfect 600 x 600 pixel squares. All numbers I used were for expample only. Pick whatever number you want. If you want 3000 x 3000 squares, punch in 3000 x 3000, make the canvas resize action for it, and go for it!
Anyone who reads this and tries it, let me know how easy or difficult it was to use this tutorial for you. This method is how I organize the CDs or DVDs which I submit to register my photos to the US Copyright office. I generally make a batch of 800PX JPEGs, images out of all the photos I selected to copyright, burn em, and I'm done within the hour. For my first copyright CD, I made a copyright CD for registration in less than an hour for 4 years of my photographic work.
And P.S.: Upsizing always dulls or pixelates a photo unless you're going to take the time and enlarge each one with enlarging software, and that's a whole new batch of processing in its own. And.. yes, I wrote this whole tutorial just for this post, lol. I enjoy teaching technical knowledge. Hope this helps and whoever reads this enjoys it!

Weird audio behaviour from merged clips... 5 channels into 25?!

hello helpful community,
So, I have hand-synced quite a few clips for a project, and made sub clips by dragging everything into a bin.
The original audio files were .wav with 5 mono tracks, according to the modify clip window…
Now, after merging them, when I drag them into a new sequence to edit, the audio contains 25 channels, and the vast majority of them are blank… there is only audio on track 1,7,13,19 and 25.
Anyone fathom why 5 tracks became 25? I thought maybe each original track was a 5.1 track or something, so it split it into 25 mono tracks, but it says in the modify window that they are mono.
Any help would be great.

thanks for then pointer.
Seems others have had this problem.
Does manually deleting the additional audio tracks cause problems to propagate forwards? Any idea when this issue might be rectified?

Merge split image segments

Dear Friends,
in an external PDF all images are splitted to smaller segments.
I heard this is quite common in PDF generation due Postscript.
I am placing this external PDF on an Indesign document page which is also exported again as a final PDF/SWF/JPEG.
But in the final PDF/SWF/JPEG there are white lines visible in the images, when they appear, allways between two image segments.
I heard this is due to rounding errors of position x-/y-coordinates of these image segments rendering them not perfectly onto their intended position.
I think about two general solutions:
Merge all image segments to a complete image.
Being able to position these segments with lock / automatically to make them perfectly edge to each other (but what would be with these rounding errors?).
This is a quite common problem to designers who want to further use the ressources or pages of an external PDF.
Often the senders of those external PDFs have not even got the original data (careless/lost/etc.).
It would be great if there is a reliable, solid solution to this problem.
Thank you for answers in advance!
With best regards
Inno

A naive (but possibly sufficient) implementation could just be to keep a table mapping (x,y) pairs to countries. To keep the table smaller, you could map 10x10 blocks of pixels to countries.
Ultimately this is about storing and then managing data.
One hack (in my opinion) is to check the color of the clicked pixel in the image of the map. But that is nasty for a variety of reasons (such as, it keeps you from being able to easily change the map image, and things like text in the map (like the names of countries) kind of screws that up. But it's an option.
You can also keep lists of pixels in sequence describing a polygon, and then use certain algorithms (which I don't recall right now) to determine whether a given point is inside or outside a given polygon.
Also you can do things like "binary space partitions", I think.
These last two things are computer graphics techniques, and are non-trivial to implement. I dimly recall them from college but recall no details. You can get a computer graphics textbook (which tend to be expensive) to get more info, or these days there's probably a wiki about it somewhere.
But I'd suggest keeping it modular. Add a layer of abstraction, writing an API around this functionality. Then write an implementation with a simple table of locations or blocks of locations, and if this proves to be insufficient later, swap it out with something more sophisticated.

Need to merge the below two rows

Hi,
I have a sample data as shown below:
ID     OBJID     ACT_CODE     ADDNL_INFO     ENTRY_TIME
2523540     333003736     900     from WIP default to Queue PSD1.     1/3/2012 15:07
2523540     333003271     100     100 from Queue PSD1 to WIP For assigment. 1/3/2012 15:43
2523540     333003744     900     900 from WIP default to Queue PSD1.     1/3/2012 15:49
2523540     333004966     100     100 from Queue PSD1 to WIP For assigment.     1/3/2012 16:04
I need to merge the first two rows and get a single record for each "from" and "to" as shown below (desired output)
ID_NUMBER     ADDNL_INFO     ENTRY_TIME     EXIT_TIME     TOTAL TIME
2523540     PSD1     1/3/2012 15:07     1/3/2012 15:43     0.025069444
2523540     PSD1     1/3/2012 15:49     1/3/2012 16:04     0.010231481
I have used function on the addnl_info column to display only the name of the queue "PSD1"
(SUBSTR(ADDNL_INFO, INSTR(ADDNL_INFO, 'PSD1'), LENGTH('PSD1'))) QUEUE_NAME
Can any one help me out in getting the desired output.

Below is a solution to your query:
drop table test_Table;
create table test_Table
ID          number,
objid       number,
act_code    number,
addl_info   varchar2(500),
entry_time timestamp
insert into test_Table values (2523540, 333003736, 900, 'from WIP default to Queue PSD1.', to_timestamp('1/3/2012 15:07', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI'));
insert into test_Table values (2523540, 333003271, 100, 'from Queue PSD1 to WIP For assigment.', to_timestamp('1/3/2012 15:43', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI'));
insert into test_Table values (2523540, 333003744, 900, 'from WIP default to Queue PSD1.', to_timestamp('1/3/2012 15:49', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI'));
insert into test_Table values (2523540, 333004966, 100, 'from Queue PSD1 to WIP For assigment.', to_timestamp('1/3/2012 16:04', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI'));
select * from test_table;
select id, addl_info, entry_time, exit_time, total_time
from
select a.id, a.objid, 'PSD1' addl_info, a.entry_time, lead(a.entry_time, 1, null) over (order by a.entry_time) exit_time,
       lead(a.entry_time, 1, null) over (order by a.entry_time) - a.entry_time total_time, DECODE(a.act_code, 900, 'D', 'ND') disp
from test_Table a
where a.id = 2523540
where disp = 'D';
ID             ADDL_INFO            ENTRY_TIME          EXIT_TIME                     TOTAL_TIME
2523540     PSD1     01-MAR-12 03.07.00.000000000 PM     01-MAR-12 03.43.00.000000000 PM     0 0:36:0.0
2523540     PSD1     01-MAR-12 03.49.00.000000000 PM     01-MAR-12 04.04.00.000000000 PM     0 0:15:0.0I see a shortcoming in the design:
1. For "WIP default to Queue PSD1" there are two records, both containing different OBJID but same ID, which in ideal case should not happen. You MUST have a COMPOSITE key on ID and OBJID; This shall help you to identify the distinct records.
My solution is not perfect as it is based on the ENTRY TIME. The reason being SIMPLE Ordering by the OBJID would not lead to a correct difference in the Transaction Time (referred by you as TOTAL_TIME.); Hence, for this reason I had to use ENTRY_TIME to correctly get the total_time.
If you wish you may follow the solution else I shall always recommend to change the Table Design and follow the correct approach.
If you are changing the Table design then following shall be a solution:
select id, addl_info, entry_time, exit_time, total_time
from
select a.id, a.objid, 'PSD1' addl_info, a.entry_time, lead(a.entry_time, 1, null) over (order by a.id, a.objid) exit_time,
       lead(a.entry_time, 1, null) over (order by a.entry_time) - a.entry_time total_time, DECODE(a.act_code, 900, 'D', 'ND') disp
from test_Table a
where disp = 'D';Regards,

Merging multiple images into one

Hi,
I am using Photoshop CS5 Extended on OSX.
I am still green when it comes to using Photoshop so all help to this question is much appreciated.
I am trying to merge several images together into the one. The images all have the same background but with a single object moving through the images in procession (the images are of a skiing piste with a snowboarder moving through). I have searched for a solution online but the best I found with so far is making each image a layer and then using a mask on each layer and making only the snowboarder visible from each picture. This works ok but it is quite difficult to get each layer to blend in nicely with the background. Also, I am dealing with 20+ layers, so it is a very labour-intensive solution. I am asking to see if there is another solution whereby I can merge all the images together? Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I seem unable to find another solution.
Again, thanks in advance for any help :-)

while manual masking is certainly the best option (assuming that all images are taken with a tripod, are somehow aligned, and all have the same exposure) (and 20 layers isn't that labor intensive), you could try to select all 20 layers, make them a smart object, and then go to layers: smart objects: stack mode and see if any of the mode give you something automatically what you are looking for.
another thing you could try (not sure if it'll work) is select the layers and go to auto blend: focus stack and see if that works.
alternatively, you could try cutting the subject out (lasso select, invert selection, delete) in each layer, and then go to auto blend, panorama.

Need to print in image with good quality in multiple pages

rinting of the image display area is to small to read on some large displays
Need to restrict the image resizing in generating the print output to a minimum size (to allow it to be readable) and allow the printed output to flow into a multiple pages wide by multiple pages in length if necessary. Currently it is restricted to one page.

above methods am using for printing image. but in large display i cant able to read letters.

Your renderer is wrong.... try this (untested):

HT1918 itunes hooked up to an e-mail no longer good tried to chg and add new email but it show system set me up with new account instead of updating new email need to merge and use the current email with old account

I have had itunes for years, however, old account was setup under [email protected] and I no longer have that e-mail or ATT internet service so everytime I want to update my e-mail account with my new [email protected] it wll not let me because I tried to update from my itues account and just changed the e-mail id field and it allowed me to update however it actually just made me have another seperate account under my current e-mal.
I need to merge the two how can I do that now that this system has me as two different accounts. One is Tracy Rucker the other one has all of my names
Tracy Randle Wlliams Rucker?
Help please no verication e-mails can be verified with the old sbcglobal.net account

In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
Click "Deuthorize ALL"
Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer. If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

I still use Aperture 2.1.4. I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile. Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue. Help?

I still use Aperture 2.1.4. I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile. Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue. Help? Is there some way to add the CMYK profile to the list of choices that are available in the export preset dialogue such that I can choose it?

leonieDF
Thanks for your response. My profiles are located within color sync utility as you can see here:
These profiles do not respond to clicking and dragging. Since they are all in one place, more or less, I'm reluctant to make further attempts to relocate them. Accessing the CMYK profile is the first difficult experience I've encountered with this arrangement. I have never needed the CMYK profile until recently, and that need has now past. However, it remains a mystery to me as to why it does not appear with all the others on the menu of export choices in Aperture 2, or on the menu of profile assignment choices in the Preview application (where again all the other profiles are listed as choices). I'm beginning to think my current set up will permit me to view an image that was created in CMYK space, but does not easily assign, or convert to that space. I don't face these restrictions with all the others, so it remains a curious circumstance for me. I anticipate upgrading my computer and software in the near future which might alleviate this issue altogether. Again, many thanks for your attention to this matter. The reach of this community is astounding.
