Photography - cutting out images into new photo

Can anyone suggest an easy app to use to cut a images out of 1 photo and put it into another photo. I have an iPad and MacBook . Jane

Thank you wade I will have a go!
UPDATE: yes that's good. I created a "sunray" using a line which I transformed to have as many lines as the mesh I used (actualy it had half the number plus 1 for the lower half of the sunray, then repeated the operation fo an identical line on top of the first but wit the ange of transformation = to 360 - the angle of the first line's transformation) and made the line long enough to get the perspective right, this I then used as a guide to move the mesh lines. The only thing I would have liked is to a) lock the verticalsin the mesh so I didn't move them inadvertently and b) if I could have moved the beginning and end point of a mesh horizontal and said now redrawn the line between these two points it would have been quicker. (I was using illustrator)

  • I am trying to crop a portrait photo into 6x4 portrait ready for printing.  Iphoto only crops it landscape and therefore cuts out most of the photo.  Is there any way of resolving this?

    I am trying to crop a portrait photo into 6x4 portrait ready for printing.  I am using Iphoto on a Macbook Pro.  Everytime I try and crop the photo, it crops in Landscape which cuts out most of the photo.  Is there any way of resolving this?  I am new to Macs as I am currently switching from MS.  It is very easy to do this in MS photo editor so I can't believe it can't be easily done in Iphoto!

  • I dragged a cut out image from one photoshop document into another and now it is blurry. What to do?

    I dragged a cut out image from one photoshop document into another and now it is blurry. What can I do to prevent this?

    What is the resolution of the image that you "dragged"? The resolution is the number in pixels per inch (ppi). If you dragged a significantly lower resolution file into a higher resolution file, it could result in a blurry image.
    see below:
    For further reading of Key Concepts:

    You can determine the image size by choosing Image > Image Size
    below you can see the pixel dimensions of my example image.

  • 'cut-out' images from Photoshop import into FCE with unwanted background

    I want to import some custom 'cut-out' images from Photoshop, but they come into FCE with a rectangular background around them. Is there a way to import just the irregular 'cut-out' image?
    Bob

    Make sure the images are RGB 8-bit and in a format that carries an alpha channel or Photoshop transparency like Photoshop, TIFF, PNG, even PICT.

  • Importing Cut Out Images from Photoshop w/out White Background?

    Hello Everyone,
    I am brand new to Illustrator. I have been a Photoshop user all these years. I am trying to import a photo to Illustrator CS5 that I cutout using this method:
    http://thedesigned.com/2009/08/21/how-to-cut-out-images-like-a-professional-in-photoshop/
    Unfortunately it superimposes itself into Illustrator with a white background when I thought it would be transparent surrounding the image. I opened the file in Illustrator as a PSD. But I tried .jpg as well. Anyone know how to work around this?
    Thanks!
    Randall

    Well from the looks of the tutorial which leaves a lot of info out you ended up flattening the image so that the background is now white but that is hard to tell from the tutorial.
    If your background is white you should rmove it in in photoshop and save the image as a psd with no background layer only a transparent layer of the subject.
    Then place that .psd in Illustrator and your background will be transparent.
    I suggest placing it rather than opeining it in AI.
    Like such: (even my signature is a psd on a tansparent layer.)

  • Can't drag images into new album page

    Just started using iWeb because it seems easy to produce good looking basic pages. I may be missing something obvious, but having trawled all through this forum and iWeb help, I can't work out why the album page won't accept images dragged from the iPhoto tab of the media browser.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the prompt reply Mr Old Toad. In fact, despite the title of "Album Page" seeming to be self explanatory (usually the case with Mac software & why I love it so much) and the software instructions which say "Drag photo and movie pages here to make them accessible from one place", this time I have discovered by messing around that you have to add a "photos" page while the Album page is selected on the left. You then drag the required images into the photo page (not the album page). Each additional photo page added appears on the Album page as it is added.
    One of the first methods I tried was to create an album in iPhoto and attempt to drag that into the album page. Didn't work, hence my request on this forum. So, looks like I answered my question myself. I still appreciate your diligent attention to this forum Mr Old Toad. I'm sure there will be a future problem that may not be so easily solved and that your or another's suggestion will come to the rescue.
    Thanks

  • Need help cutting out images

    Hey
    I realize what Im asking for might be complicated. But any
    help or direction I can get will be appreciated.
    I want to right something that will take a photo realistic
    image, say maybe a 400x300 photo of anything really, and cut out
    peices of the photo, so that I can manipulate these peices after.
    For example...if its a photo of a guy riding a bike and hes wearing
    a blue shirt....I want to cut out the blue shirt part and change
    its color on the fly, just by clicking on the blue shirt.
    Any ideas??
    Oh and does this process have a name?

    Yes, you're right - it is complicated!
    The reason is that with a photo of a guy wearing a blue
    shirt, that blue shirt is actually made up of hundreds of different
    subtle shades of blue.
    So to implement this, you'd need to perform a number steps,
    some of which are fairly complex:
    1) allow the user to select a point in the image
    2) read the colour at that point. You might find you need to
    take an average of a small area around that point to get a better
    approximation of the percieved colour at that point because the
    colour of pixels within a seemingly 'flat' area of colour can
    actually vary significantly. (this is why the photoshop inkdropper
    tool offers 3x3 and 5x5 average options).
    3) gradually 'scan' outwards from the pixel coordinate
    clicked on, checking each adjacent pixel in the image and comparing
    the difference in colour value against the initial colour selected
    (using getPixel). If it is within a certain tolerance, you can
    include it in the selection. You'll need to create an array or
    another image object to store the results in. Repeat this process
    until there are no more adjacent pixels that fall within the colour
    tolerance range.
    4) Use an RGB->HSB routine to convert the colour values to
    HSB, so that you can then adjust the 'Hue' value, and finally
    convert back to RGB. I have one here:
    http://robotduck.com/content/articles/director/imageManipulation/shiftHue.txt
    And whether it has a name?..
    well, the tool which selects an area within a certain colour
    range in photoshop is called the 'magic wand', so I guess that's a
    good way to refer to it - a magic wand function. And to change the
    colour by 'rotating' the colour values through the colour spectrum
    (which is what my example code does) is called 'shifting the hue'
    of the colours.
    hope this helps!

  • Cut out images on Premiere Pro

    Okay well I was just wondering how they usually cut out images and put them on videos with premiere pro? I see some people doing videos that allow this. Below I have a attached a symbol "ten" I want to insert that into a video, but when I insert it you still see the white around it. Any specific program I have to use to cut out the white and put it onto a video?
    http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x238/tai230/11111lalala.jpg

    Dino,
    Unfortunately, the links you provided do not work on my browser, IE7, and the images do not disply.
    Let me take a guess at what you wish to do. You want a graphic "10" with the video showing though it. Is that even close? If it is, you want the Track Matte Keying Effect. This will require that you have your background Video on Video Track 1 (VT1), your "inset footage" on VT2, your Track Matte Keying "matte" on VT3, and then add the Track Matte Keying Effect to your video on VT2, linking to the matte on VT3. You have a few settings, like Luma/Alpha and Invert. You may need to experiment with each of these, to get your desired effect.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS Help and the manual have much more information on Track Matte Keying, as does this tutorial on another use for it. Different application, but the principle is the exact same.

  • Cut an image into A4 format pages from java

    I have a large image.
    I want to cut it in several A4 format pages.
    How can I cut the image into parts from java?
    Edited by: SnScreen on Apr 30, 2008 2:55 PM

    Then get whatever-you-want-to-have's resolution and calculate the rectangles.
    Don't you think you need to determine the size of a pixel before you can determine the size of a pixelized image?
    This is soooo nonsense. A4 is a paper format, so to get something in A4 you need to print it. Or at least consider printing it. And thus you need to know the printer's resolution. Even if you determine A4 to be say 800x600 pixels, in printer A and printer B with different resolutions, at least one if not both of them will still print it in something different than A4.

  • Dividing Scanned Image into Separate Photos

    I would like to divide a scanned image into separate photos. I understand Photoshop Elements can do this under Images > Divide Scanned Image. But, I can't find this command in Photoshop CS5. Without it being done automaticaly how can I divide the image using CS5? Thanks.

  • Blurry Images in new Photos App

    I have noticed a problem with the new Photos app and I am uncertain whether it is unique to my system (iMac 2013 21inch).  Photos taken in a portrait orientation do not display sharp on the screen.  They look a little blurry as if the software hasn't properly rendered the image for preview.  If you zoom in to part of the photo and then zoom out again the issue corrects itself and the image is displayed sharp.
    Has anyone else had this problem and have they fixed it?

    Hi, i'm struggling to find a way of merging albums in the new photos app does anyone know how to do this?
    Make the sidebar visible.  View > Show Sidebar ⌥⌘S
    Select one of the albums and all photos in it.
    Drag the selected photos to the other album in the sidebar to merge the photos into it. Then delete the now empty original album.You can delete an album by selecting it in the Sidebar, ctrl-clicking it, then use "Delete album" from the contextual menu.

  • Cutting out part of a photo and reshaping

    Dear illustartors,
    this may be a photoshop or illustartor question, I'm not sure. Here's what I want to do:
    take part of a photo and cut it out - the shape isn't regular, something of a rough rectangle
    take the cut out shape and reshape it, I need to move two oof the corners in to form a rough trapezium
    I want the contents of the cutout shape (part of a photo) to shrink appropriately within the reshaped object... Imagine the shape is an old door, The shape wouldn't exactly be a rectangle because it's a bit beaten up; having cut it out I want to make the new shape but still see the edges, coners and panels, he new shap will be the same hieght on the left-hand side but reduced on the right-hand side - as if creating perspective.
    Is this possible somehow?
