Photoshop cs4 pull out "indented writing" from old book

Hey everyone, Im new to not only photoshop, but to the forums as well. First off I would like to give my thanks in advance for any help that is provided, if it was for people like you id prob go crazy. i have an extremly old book which is worth a substancual amount of money and i have photographed the book page by page and have noticed some indented writing on several pages. given the age and placement of this book i need to know what the indented wring says. i was wondering how i could use photoshop cs4 to bring out that writing and possibly color it in so it was then, readable. again any help is extremly appericated.
Thanks,
Glenn

Glenn,
It appears that you wish to enhance annotations on the pages, that are very light, and are not showing well enough in your photographs.
I would look at using the Threshold Adjustment, to see if you can extract that info. Go very slowly with the settings, and study the results carefully. If you can do what you want, you might be able to use that image, adjusted, as a Layer in your photographs, and explore both Blending Modes and also Layer Masks, to get those annotations onto the "page" with the normal type.
I had to do a series of shoots for some of William Faulkner's original manuscripts. As has been suggested, I used a piece of optical Lucite to both flatten, and to hold the pages. The lighting on the copy stand had to be adjusted a bit, as we could not force the spine of these notebooks in any way, so that the opposite pages and covers were up higher. Not an easy task, and we had to fight any/all reflections by those angle adjustments. Normally, 45 degrees and broad/flat is best, but we had to fight that angle, so as to not get any shadows.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Regarding Pulling out network cable from cluster node

    I have two cluster nodes installed with my application.
    I have pulled out the Network cable from the primary where my application is running. So the primary is not reachle from remote box.(cannot ping primary)
    I have found the following error messages
    SUNW,hme0 : No response from Ethernet network : Link down -- cable problem?
    I have found the device group and resource group online the primary and the sun cluster does not failover to secondary node. Does Sun cluster support this scenario ?
    Or do i need to any additional configuration? Can i get clarification on this

    Hi Sudheer,
    if you have two interfaces in your ipmpgroup, I am missing the test address.
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3000/emybr?l=en&q=ipmp&a=view
    states a hostname.hme0 as:
    192.168.85.19 netmask + broadcast + group testgroup1 up \
         addif 192.168.85.21 deprecated -failover netmask + broadcast + up
    and for hotname.hme1
    192.168.85.20 netmask + broadcast + group testgroup1 up \
         addif 192.168.85.22 deprecated -failover netmask + broadcast + up
    you can safely replace the addresses by names if they are in /etc/hosts
    In this case the -failover flag for the physical of your example is wrong.
    If you only have one adapter,
    One line in /etc/hostname.hme0 like you stated in your example is correct.
    this is from one of my clusters.
    deulwork20 group sc_ipmp0 -failover
    it is the ipmpgroup Sun Cluster creates for you if you do not specify anything else. so for one single adapter one line like "hadev1 group sc_ipmp0 -failover" is correct.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended won't install from CD

    I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS4 a few years back and installed it onto my PowerMac G5 Tower (pre-intel).  Now I'd like to instal the program on my MacBook Pro (OsX, 10.6.8).
    QUESTIONS: 
    1.  Is it not compatible? 
    2.  What is the current version of Adobe Photoshop that I should be running on the Macbook Pro? 
    3.  Must I pay for the whole program again? 

    I am getting no message.  I get an icon and am able to open the folders on the disc. 
    Right.  Pro video forum.  I need the services of Adobe Photoshop to create an alpha slug because I am experiencing a final cut pro x glitch:  I have a custom title which I turned into a storyline and added a transition (a 'Slide In').  Underneath in the layer below, I have my video set to 20% opacity.  However, when I play through the clip, when the slider plays through the actual transition, the opacity of the clip below is altered and gets brighter. 
    Creating an alpha slug and placing it prior to the text and then connecting them with the ('slide in') in transition has been one possible solution I could find elsewhere on an internet forum. 
    UPDATE:
    OK.  I found a 'set-up' icon in the folder and am currently installing. 
    I was jumping the gun in thinking that it was not compatible and needing a new solution. 
    Thanks for responding. 

  • Pull out individual graph from a multiple graph waveform?

    Hi all, is there a way of parsing out individual graphs from a waveform based on a given description?  I know that the waveform only has the Y, t0, and t attributes, but there must be a way of doing this.  
    The user inputs a cluster of data per channel.  What I'd like to be able to do is isolate a single graph from the waveform based on the TAG name of the channel, and show this on a separate graph.
    I've attached screen shots shots of the code where the plots are generated, and of the user input cluster.
    I'd greatly appreciate any help.  THANKS!

    Hi
    Attached is the picture of how i modified your code. In the DAQ Loop case where you are creating task, use your Tag name as the channel name
    In the Main Processing Loop, insdie the New DAQ case, you are reading the waveform and using a case structure. By using the Get Attribute function and reading the value of NI_ChannelName, you can get the task name of each channel read/acquired.
    I had just left an indicator at the output for the Channel name. you can use it for a case strucuture or in any which way you like.
    Let use know if this works.

  • Where does Photoshop CS5 pull custom color profiles from?

    Photoshop CS5 is not seeing my new custom color profiles for my scanner when i try to "Assign profile" or "Convert profile". it sees my old profiles that I used in CS4. i have made sure to copy the profiles the following directories:
    /System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
    /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
    myuseraccount/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
    where else does CS5 pull color profiles from? By the way, those old color profiles DO NOT exist in the above directories. your help is greatly appreciated.
    I am running Photoshop CS5 12.0.1 x32 on mac os x 10.6.4.

    …do you know of anyway to reconcile these names because Apple does not.
    In all honesty, I've never had occasion to think about any such "reconciliation".  I've never re-named a profile's file name in the Finder, and in the few cases where I've run into a discrepancy there, I just make it a point to remember the internal name and forget about the other one.

  • Photoshop (CS4)-Saving out layers & names?

    I was wondering if someone can help me out.  I am trying create an action-script and can't seem to make it happen.  Specifically, I have a Photoshop file with five layers. Each layer having it's own name. Is there a way to save out each layer with that layers name? I tried to incorporate a copy and paste but didn't work.
    Any ideas how to do this?
    Thank you in advance!

    Please try this...

    var oldPath = activeDocument.path;
    for(var a=0;a<doc.layerSets.length;a++){
    activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.layers.getByName(doc.layerSets[a].name);
    dupLayers();
    var saveFile= File(oldPath +"/"+doc.layerSets[a].name +".jpg");
    SaveJPEG(saveFile,8);

  • I have a new Mac.  I installed my Bridge CS4 that I ran on my old mac.  When I import RAW photos from my Nikon d90 they come in with an .NEF extension.  I need to install a converter but cannot find one.

    I have a new mac.  I installed my Bridge CS4 and Photoshop CS4 that I ran on my old mac.  When I import RAW pics from my Nikon D90 they come in with the extension of .NEF.  Apparently this is not a readable form for Bridge as the picture does not appear.  I believe I need a converter to convert .NEF to .dng but I can't find one.  Any ideas?

    You do not need to convert to DNG.
    The NEFs from your camera model have been supported since ACR 4.6 and 5.1.
    What you need to do is update your ACR plug-in to version 5.7, the latest and last version for CS4.  Right now, you are probably on ACR 5.0, the version supplied with the original release of Photoshop CS4.
    Be aware that the Adobe updater is extremely unreliable when it comes to CS5, so that you must do the update manually.  There are detailed instructions on the ACR 5.7 plug-in download page.  You MUST follow those instructions to the letter.

  • Photoshop CS4 and Power PC G5

    I need Photoshop CS4 to open raw files from a Canon 7D. Adobe tells me I will have to buy from a reseller. That is fine but I have two questions
    (1) Will CS4 run on Power PC G5-non Intel processor?
    (2) Can I assume reseller version of CS4 Photoshop will ship with CS4 Bridge?
    Thanks for any feedback-DLC007

    The problem might be the graphics card in your G5.
    See this tech note:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405711.html
    ´
    The following Power PC cards work in Photoshop CS4: Nvidia 7800 (256 MB), Nvidia GeForce 7800 GT, and the Nvidia Quadro FX 4500.
    Other G5 users have had to resort to buying a mutant, "flashed" card (nVidia GeForce 7800 GT) from an eBay merchant called AppleMacanix, or something like that.
    I had to buy a similar card for my G4, an nVidia GeForce 7800 GS 425MHz 256 MB mutant flashed graphics display card in order to run Photoshop 11.x ("CS4").
    The requirements are for the card to support Shader Model 3 and OpenGL 2, as well as preferably have 256MB or 512 MB of VRAM.
    If you do have to look for another card, ascertain first whether your G5 takes a PCIExpress card or an AGP card.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended - Trial Version Expired

    Can someone help me please. I have searched the forums but I cannot find a solution.
    I installed the Photoshop CS4 extended trial which expired a few weeks ago. In the meantime I have purchased a copy of Photoshop CS4 (Standard not Extended). I completed removed the trial but I am unable to installed the purchased copy. I am getting the trial expired serial input screen.
    I have also tried the unistall with REVO but this has not made any difference.
    I have tried to use the Adobe cleanup but I dont think its worked properly. I am running Windows 7 Operating System.
    I have uninstalled/installed photoshop 5 times now and its driving me mad

    There is no problem such as you describe.  If you buy a legitimate standard edition license, you can enter that serial number and the trial version will be activated as the standard edition.
    Where did you get this copy of Photoshop CS4?
    If not directly from Adobe, there's a chance you were scammed and your serial number isn't valid at all.  Photoshop is heavily pirated.

  • Use XMLP to pull only specific pages from larger PDF template?

    We need to be able to pull specific pages or a range of pages out of a larger template to use to merge data into and return to users or the selected delivery method. I've seen a lot of information about how to add page numbers to PDF templates / documents, but nothing about how I can pull out specific pages. We know this can be done using iText or some other technology, but does anyone know if this can be done using XML Publisher at all? This is a big issue for us and could determine whether we end up using XMLP at all or go with something else. Any info would be helpful.
    Thanks!

  • Photoshop CS4 stopped reading CR2 files.  Update failed.

    My Photoshop CS4 quit reading CR2 files from my Canon EOS 5D Mark II.  Photoshop update with new raw version failed.  Please advise.
    And many thanks!

    This screen shot shows the correct path to the appropriate folder in CS4 on the Mac, which is not called "ACR folder" (that must be a Windows thing).
    The version of ACR in the image is older (5.2, obsolete by now), because it's a screen shot from many moons ago.
    The important thing is to start the path in the ROOT LEVEL Library, not your username or home Library:
