Odd imaging problem when on 16:9 aspect ratio
Hi folks, was wondering if anyone has experienced this before.
As a solution to my BBC programmes breaking up I changed the aspect ratio from 720p to 16:9 (see my last post)
When watching live tv or on demand films etc on 16:9 I have noticed that when the scene is dark a strange negative type effect happens to certain objects in the scene. Changing back to 720p gets rid of this, but then the rubbish BBC signal might happen.
For information im using decent quality HDMI leads, cant remember the brand, but think they cost around 25 quid each.
No, Front Row just plays them as they are flagged.
Even if you could, the video would be stretched and people would be short and fat!

FCE Exporting Still Image and Maintaining a 16:9 Aspect Ratio
I am putting the finishing touches to the first movie that I have created in FCE. I'm a refugee from imovie 08.
I would like to create an ending where I run my End Title and scrolling captions over a still from the movie that I've just created.
My movie is captured in 16:9 aspect ratio.
The problem is that when I export using Quicktime conversion, and the import the still back into FCE, the still loses it's 16:9 aspect ratio.
Can someone tell me how I can some how paste a still image from my movie with a long duration of say 90 seconds while my ending titles scroll through? AND keep my 16:9 aspect ratio.
Hope you folks understand my question OK? Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
SteveThat seemed to work great.. thanks Tom.
My first movie in FCE is now finished and it looks good within FCE!!!
Now I have exporting problems!
I have added chapter markers to my movie however:
If I export using the File > Export > Quicktime Movie option I keep my Chapter markers perfectly but no mention is made of 16:9 aspect ration.
However if I use the File > Export > Using Quicktime Conversion option I have lots of settings where I can play around with the aspect ratio but it does not give me any mention of chapter markers and I do in fact lose them after the conversion.
By the way I'm selecting the DVCPRO50 when I try this.
Have you any ideas how I can export, keep my 16:9 aspect ration AND keep my chapter markers?
I'm importing into idvd-08
Many Thanks!

Problems with a 16:9 aspect ratio in Aperture
I've been shooting photos in a 16:9 aspect ratio but when I import the Raw images into Aperture they show up as 3:2. How do i fix this so I can see my whole photo?
Im using a Sony A65 and I can see them as 16:9 as im shooting. but for some reason Aperture auto crops them. Maybe there is a preference im missing?As separate topics, Aperture and RAW present difficulties. Tackling them at once is taking on a lot.
Here is a brief guide to the parts of Aperture. Many have found it helpful.
Here is a brief intro to RAW. I should re-write it.

How to avoid image problem when converting to PDF?
I had placed this yellow watch (psd file) to a AI file. Then I saved it as a PDF. When I opened the PDF file, there was an error on the image.
Is there anyone can help to solve this problem?A few possibilities include stuff like...
1.) Image is missing and/or not "Linked". Look at whether the image has been moved or taken from a server. The solution is to save the image to a local folder and link to it in the document.
2.) Color space of the document does not match the color space of the image. Make sure the image and the document are appropriate color spaces and they match ( i.e., document = CMYK; image = CMYK ). -
Image problems when importing modified Iphoto pictures to aperture 3
I seem to have a bit of strange problem with modified pictures after they are imported in A3.
I am using Iphoto 8.1.1 and have just bought Aperture 3. I decided to import all my iphoto pictures using the import iphoto library function.
I noticed that all images that had (in iphoto) been edited using the retouch function to reduce blemishes have problems in Aperture. The problem appears to be where the brush was used is now pixilated in that area and it just looks like a cluster of "noise". This only seems to happen when I used the import iphoto library. I tried to replicate the issue importing some of the same pictures individually and there was no issue. Than I made a new library tried to import iphoto library and same issue ones again. Exporting the picture out of aperture keeps this error. It's quite a worry as I have several hundred of these pictures and I am not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
Please have a look at the links below for an example of before and after import.
http://files.me.com/dan_801/rlebic (the original file)
http://files.me.com/dan_801/s0zn6d (after importing into A3)ok quick update - I opened up the aperture library in finder and located the image. The master appears to be the correct image but in Aperture itself it's showing a different image. The picture in Aperture appears to be pointing to the preview directory within the library structure. I tried re building the review and thumb and same issue again. When I export from aperture it also seems to export the preview version as oppose to the master. How do i fix this issue

Image problem when exporting to pdf
I have several images on top of each other on the front page of my document. Two large images on top of each other with the the top one being transparent and several small ones on top of the two large. Everything looks fine i pages, however when i export the file to pdf the two large images are gone, but the smaller ones are still there? I have done this several times and never encountered this problem. The desk top icon looks fine though?
Hope someone can help!Some frames are vector (drawn) and render OK in pdfs.
Others are bit maps using transparency, they have the problems mentioned above.
Experiment using a set of labeled frames on a single sheet and export that to a pdf and see what works and what doesn't.
Some features will only be good for printing to your desktop printer directly out of Pages.

How do I restore all images in a collection to original imported aspect ratio?
Typically I select all images in a catalog, resize the first image to 640x480. I then right click on the first image (all images are still selected) click on Develop Settings, Sync and choose to sync only the aspect ratio. All images are then cropped to 640x480 like the first image, which I then export to a folder.
I then need to restore all images to the original aspect ratio for building a slideshow to export to my website. I've followed the same procedure i.e. selected all images, click on the first image, change aspect to original, right click on first image and sync aspect ratio for all images.
The problem is that the rest of the images do not return to their original aspect ratio but revert to 4x6 aspect ratio instead of the original size when imported. I've changed the lock to unlocked and tried both but still no result. Now I have to select each image individually, open the crop dialog and choose custom to get it back to the imported aspect ratio.
How do I batch restore all images in a collection to the aspect ratio when imported?Rotating an image is adjusting its crop rotation and crop size. You originally said you wanted things back to import state which presumably was full resolution w/o any adjustments to ratio, size, or rotation. If you are wanting to do things in the middle of your other processing I'm less sure what to tell you.
Taking a crop that you have at 3:2 and setting it to 4:3 shrinks in the longer sides, and resetting the ratio to 3:2 shrinks down the shorter top and bottom--this is how it always works, because a crop box is not ever expanded by setting the ratio to something different, and changing the ratio back and forth like that makes the crop-box smaller and smaller.
Are you having an issue because you want to fiddle with the crop in the middle of other processing every time, or is this a special case because you've moved on in your processing after asking your question some time ago?
If you routinely need to do this, an easier way might be to export the images at the 3:2 crop, then reimport those JPGs, change the crop on those JPGs, only, then re-export them a second time, and be done with them. This sounds like you're making proofs?
If you are making proof-sized images at a different ratio? Why not just export the 3:2 images at a smallish size, perhaps with a watermark and not have to worry about making them 4:3 ratio?
Another alternative would be to print the images to JPGs instead of a printer, and set the paper size to a 4:3 ratio and turn on the Fill option--which will chop of the long sides automatically as it prints them. -
When I try to place a picture in photoshop CS6 either from drag&drop in the application window or from the place command, my image gets automatically resized based on the resolution (pixels per inch) of my document.
Example:
I create a new blank document, 1000*1000px @ 300ppi.
I have another image that I want to place in the document and this image measures 500*500px @ 100ppi.
I then go to File->Place and the image that appears is way too big. In the Info panel, it says that the image is 1500x1500 and the transform settings at the top indicate that the image hasen't been scaled because both width and height are at 100%
If I cahnge my document resolution (no resample) to 100ppi, the image has the right size when I place it.
So my question is: Is this normal? Because it has never done that with past versions of Photoshop. If it is normal, is there a way I can change this because placing an image based on it's physical (printed) size makes absolutely no sense. 1 pixel = 1 pixel.
Thank you for your helpOnce you understand how Photoshop works you can batch some some things you create some actions for. Size is difficult to deal with in actions and often you will have problems dealing with aspect ratios and image orientation.
To automate a process well scripting is more powerful then actions for you can use logic to solve problem area involving sizing, orientation, aspect ratios and positioning. You can size an image to cover an area then mask off any excess to virtually crop the image to the areas aspect ratio. If you download my Photoshop Photo Collage Toolkit there are script that create composite that can deal with any size image.
One script PasteImageRoll.jsx can past selected images into a document to be print on roll paper. Images will be tiled into the document some images may be rotated for a better fit for the tiles aspect ratio. Image will be resized to fill the tile area and masked to virtually make a center crop of the images. Other scripts will place in images file into collage template as smart object layers. Smart object images layers will be scaled to fit the various templates images areas position over the area and masked to the area. Link Documentation and Examples for the toolkit and Link Paste Image Roll Script Information
Scripting is very powerful you can even open image off the web using its URL even stack all the image on a web page using its url

Image Disappears when Adding Adjustments in Aperture 3
I am experiencing odd behavior when using the adjustment tools in Aperture 3. I tried to crop an image and instead of staying on screen for me to finish the adjustment, the image disappeared. I was able to save it by undoing. I created a version of the image and I could crop that OK. I have Add New Version when Making Adjustments checked but it does not seem to be working.
I've had a similar "disappearing" image problem when trying to apply the retouch tool. I don't have the "create version when applying adjustments" preference checked though. Hopefully these issues are additional 3.0 bugs that will get fixed in 3.0.1. Be sure to report the issue to Apple using the "Aperture > Provide Aperture Feedback" menu item.

Resizing Image and Not Keep Aspect Ratio
Is there a free program to resize images and not keep the original aspect ratio?
I need to resize loads of images to 100x100 pixels and have tried Image well and IResize yet they do not seem to have an option to not keep the original aspect ratio.
Thank you
20" Intel 2GHz Core Duo imac, 2GB Ram, 250 GB HDHi, Downsize does not seem all that great according to reviews. Why not see if you can buy PS E' 3 mac -- maybe ebay/amazon (if I remember I only paid about $70 for PS E3) As PS E4 just came out I'm sure someone has PS E3 for sale. You will then have no problems completing your image resizing.
2 other questions for you..are you using the Mac side of your intel or Windows?
if your using the Windows side I can let you have PS 6 (PC) ..freegratus. -
Question about aspect ratio/resizing images
hi. i am currently working on a video project for a class, creating a presentation with iMovie and iPhoto. I simply need to display a logo, however, when i import it into iMovie from iPhoto, the picture is wide and pixelated, of low quality. when i change the aspect ratio to 16:9, the image is too large to fit. however, i cannot resize it via iPhoto to fit within the 16:9 ratio. i'm simply trying to get an individual photo from iPhoto to fit within a frame in iMovie. is there a quick way of converting it to fit or resizing it within iMovie?

Hi Folks,
Am needing some advice from all you oracles out there lol. I use PSE 7, when I print my photos I prefer to use the standard 3:2 ratio (6x4, 7x9, inch for example). When I use my crop tool on Elements 7 the photo ratio is different. Is it possible to change this preset ratio to my preferred setting and ho do I do it.
Thank you
NevynHi,
Yes, you can you the Custom ratio option in crop tool.
1. In Organizer, select the image, and click the Fix tab /button in the side bar
2. Select Crop tool
3. In the resultant dialog, select 'Custom Ratio' in the Aspect ratio
4. In the textboxes below the Aspect ratio dropdown, input your desired ratio.
5. The selection box over the image resizes itself to the specified Aspect ratio.
6. Increase or decrease the size of the selection box according to your requirement. This will change according to the specified Aspect Ratio.

I was wondering if someone could help me. I do a lot of Still Image Slide shows with music and all that jazz and I used to use Premiere 6.5. When I would import the still images I could just lock the aspect ratio and it would automatically size the picture to fit the screen. I recently upgraded to CS3 and when I try to import a photo it imports it at actual image size so if the pic to too big it just looks zoomed in. I'm wonder if there is a setting in I can adjust so it autosizes the pic like it did in version 6.5? It may sound lazy but I do these with a lot of picture and I don't have time to adjust the size of each photo in Photoshop prior to import.
I have figured out a temporary workaround where I import the files into 6.5 and then open the existing project in CS3 but my new computer runs Vista and it's not allowing me to install 6.5 on it. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.I copied this from the help.

Gallery image disappears when not hovering
I am adding a thumbnail scroller to my image gallery. Here's
the site I am cutting from:
http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menu/scroll_gallery.html#nogo
I want the enlarged image to STAY when I click on the
thumbnail until I click on another one. Now it stays only as long
as I am hovering. I throw myself on your mercy.
Here's the code:

</html>I've had a similar "disappearing" image problem when trying to apply the retouch tool. I don't have the "create version when applying adjustments" preference checked though. Hopefully these issues are additional 3.0 bugs that will get fixed in 3.0.1. Be sure to report the issue to Apple using the "Aperture > Provide Aperture Feedback" menu item.

Problem when rendering Anamophic QT in CS5
When rendering a PAL D1/DV Widescreen (1,46)-comp to a Quicktime Motion Jpegb the .mov-file is recognized as Square Pixels when opened in Quicktime. And the graphic is not 100% sharp as it is in the AE-project.
Anyone experienced the same thing?What Rick said.... Attempting to gauge the quality or even technical correctness of anamorphic content, for SD resolutions no less, is bound to fail by just watching it in a player software. Now there are smarter players than QT, but that doesn't really settle the problem, as their built-in aspect ratio correction is dependent on how it was coded, whether it uses graphics acceleration and whatnot. Likewise, additional interpolation may mess up fields and so on.... That may not matter for just viewing a DVD, but it matters if you're the one producing it. So the best you can do is watch your stuff via calibrated preview hardware or burn test DVDs. Otehr than that, as Rick also said, working with square pixels is preferrable up to a point - if you obey correct sizes, nesting comps to then produce anamorphic output will not be a problem and within the Adobe tools, all otehr programs will correctly recognice the square pixel stuff and convert it to anamorphic as well, if necessary.
