Pixel offsetting in Images

Although I use clean images at 72 dpi and import as PNG
files, no compression, no smoothing, Properties=lossless PNG... the
outputted swf file sometimes shows offset areas... e.g. parts of
letters are sometimes offset. I noticed that it happens
horizontal....e.g. upper half of a word is slightly off to the left
or right of the bottom half of the same word.
This also happens near rounded corners sometimes.... a pixel
or two of the image looks out of place.
Any ideas on how to correct this??
Thanks!

this is sometimes called the Flash bitmap shift bug and has
to do with some sort of mathematical equation in the programming.
Check this out:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14256
I have heard that the CORRECT way to fix this is to place the
image in the positive side of the x and y coordinates when using
Flash Player 8 and newer and placing it in the negative x and y
coordinates in Flash Player 7 and earlier. You can easily do this
by converting the bitmap to a movie clip symbol and changing the
registration point from center.

How can I get to read the pixels in an image?

Please see details of my code below. What I am doing is trying to obtain the pixels for an image. there is an initial image of a certain size, which is then split into smaller portions.
The problem I'm getting is that pixels can not be read past the middle of the original image. I hope I have explained this so it can be understood. I have included the class that I am working on

How do you reduce the pixels of an image to fit within certain requirements

I am trying to get the pixels of an image to fit certain requirements. When I try to edit the image in iPhoto by clicking custom constrain and then enter the pixel of dimensions I want, it will not adjust the image to them. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Select the pic in the iPhoto Window and go
File -> Export
in the resulting dialogue you can resize:

Getting a pixel in an image

How can i get the color of a pixel in an Image object, or an array of bytes or integers of the image.

use getRGB(int x, int y) method of BufferedImage.
first convert your image object to bufferedImage object. then use above method.
if any problems contact
[email protected] or [email protected]
best of luck!

How can I increase the number of pixels in an image?

How can I increase the number of pixels in an image?

You can't.
The number of pixels in an image is decided by the camera that shoots the image
With an app like Photoshop you can interpolate - this will make a guess as to what a particular pixel may look like based on the ones around it. Results can vary wildly and Photoshop is expensive.

Please help me!--rendering makes the images or video blurry (very pixelated) deteriorates the image Adobe Premier Elements 13 need help! .jpg and mpeg images, but I have never "rendered" before since I got APE 13 about 6 weeks ago. I am desperate for assistance!

That's going to be a ridiculous waste of money and energy.
First of all, the current ATI drivers don't support multiple GPUs, so at the moment even a single 4870X2 would be only a 'normal' 4870 (which is quite a speed beast already). GFX drivers evolve rapidly, so things might look different next month, but when it comes to Linux and hardware there's one Golden Rule: stay away from the newest stuff and wait for proper support to get coded.
I also wonder what power supply could possibly cope with the differences between idle and full load; that's way beyond 400W. But then, I'm one of those "quiet&green" types where >100W idle is already a bit much.
I kind of understand that you want to get it done and not worry about hardware for the next 10 years or so, but that's simply not how the hardware world works and never did. At least not for the average consumer.

Get the color of a pixel in an image

how can i do to get the color of a pixel in an image ???
Can anyone help me ?

Hi,
first of all you need to get the library to transfer your image to java.awt.image.BufferedImage object.
I know many such libraries. Its depends of what kind of image you have: jpeg, gif, png or other.
And when you get the BufferedImage of you picture using library, then you can get the color of any pixel in image using int BufferedImage.getRGB(int x, int y) as integer value.

Color overlay on opaque pixels of transparant image

Hi everyone!
I'm having a little problem here... I have loaded a gif image (a bufferedimage) in my program and I would like to have a color overlay on it. However, the overlay should only reside on the opaque pixels and not on the transparant parts of the image.
I have looked for about an hour on this board to find the solution to my problem, but I haven't found anything useful. I did find the following, but it's not for a bufferedimage :(
int pixels[][] = grabPixels(sprite);
     // 2) Place the opaque pixels in a polygon
     Polygon poly = new Polygon();
     for (int y = 0; y < spriteH; y++) // y coordinate
          for (int x = 0; x < spriteW; x++) // x coordinate
               if (pixels[y][x] != TRANSPARENT) {
                    poly.addPoint(x,y);
     }This code creates a polygon with the opaque pixels of the image I think. Too bad it's not for a bufferedimage!
Thanks ahead!
Jens

Thanks, Randy. That's ingenious, but it doesn't seem to work very well, since the finished image looks like Frankenstein's monster, with half the guy's face looking one way and the other half another way. But ingenious.
I don't mind using the limit effect if that is the best way to deal with my little problem. Just trying to get a consensus on what to do, after I put a contract out on this shooter.
Thanks.

Getting a pixel between thumbnail images

Hi Folks
I am using a CellRenderer to display thumbnail images,and I want to
keep a distance of 1 pixel between the images.
What can I do to get this?
Attached is my renderer
public FTRDPictureChooserDateAndTimeCellRenderer(){
     thumbnailImage    = new JLabel();
     imageText         = new JLabel();
     dateAndTimeLabel = new JLabel();
     gbl = new GridBagLayout();
     setLayout(gbl);
     gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
     gbc.gridx      = 0;       // x represents cols
     gbc.gridy      = 0;       // y represents rows
     gbc.gridwidth = 1;               // reset to the default
     gbc.gridheight = 2;       // span 2 rows to display image.
     gbc.weighty    = 1.0;
     gbc.weightx    = 1.0;
     add(thumbnailImage,gbc);
     /* Image Name */
     gbc.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER; //end row
     gbc.gridheight = 1;
     gbc.gridx      = 1;
     gbc.gridy      = 0;
        add(imageText,gbc);
     setOpaque(true);


Well, let's see... now if I look at the API docs for
GridBagConstraints, I see it has fields: ipadx and
ipady ... I wonder what they do?They pad inside the component so won't actually help. However, the insets field will allow you to define the number of pixels to pad outside the component. So you can either do gbc.insets = new Insets(0,0,0,1) from the first component or gbc.insets = new Insets(0,1,0,0) for the second one. Either will add a single pixel between them.

Finding the Brightest Pixel in an Image

How do i select the brightest pixel in an image?

Set a threshold adjustment layer over your image. Drag the slider to the right until you see the last remaining white specks. These are where your brightest pixels are.

How do you tell the color value of a pixel in an image data

Hi,
Given a BufferedImage of type, say BufferedImage.TYPE_4BYTE_ABGR, how do you tell the color value of a pixel in the image?
Specifically, in the following code:
Raster imgData = image.getData();
int x = imgData.getMinX();
int y = imgData.getMinY();
int width = imgData.getWidth();
int height = imgData.getHeight();
I want to search the raster looking for a specific color, e.g., Color.WHITE.
According to the API, "getSample()" may be used for this purpose. But, how do you know which color band a band index parameter in getSample() refers to? Does band index of 0 always refer to the RED band? Does band index of 1 refer to the GREEN band? etc.
I'd greatly appreciate any help you may be able to provide.
Thanks,
--HS

In the print dialog underneath the settings for number of copies and print range you should see a dropdown menu probably called Layout. If you don't see that look for a button labeled Details and click it.
Under the Layout menu you should find an option labeled Printer where you will find Printer specific options. Look for something there. You might also find an option called Color which may have options you are looking for.
If this doesn't help, go to the printer manufacturer's website and look for answers there.

Reload, the pixels change locations, usually close to the original misbegotten pixels' location. Sometimes multiple patches of wrongly displayed pixels, sometimes a single patch. No such anomaly appears under the same circumstances in Internet Explorer.

Thank you for your response. I'm not a person who can control much beyond the on-off switch on the computer. I'm pretty certain it's not a matter of physical heat. I have never seen the stray pixels in Photo Shop, which sometimes works the card pretty hard, I think. It's just viewers inside browsers and in the computer, Windows' native image viewer. Thanks again.

Grabbing Pixels from an image into an array

Hi,
I am new to the image processing using java. I want to get the pixel values of an image and store it into an text file. Can anyone help me with this?
This is what i've done yet? Is the values present in the text field the correct values of the pixels of the image.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.util.*;
public class grabber extends Applet {
private TextField tf;
private TextArea ta;
private Label status;
private Canvas drawarea;
private Image img=null;
int ppmline=0;
public void init() {
     setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2));
     Panel left=new Panel();
left.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
Panel topleft = new Panel();
topleft.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 4));
topleft.add(tf=new TextField());
     Panel buttonsP = new Panel();
buttonsP.add(new Button("Load GIF"));
     buttonsP.add(new Button("PPM Output"));
     topleft.add(buttonsP);
left.add("North", topleft);
left.add("Center", drawarea=new Canvas());
     left.add("South", status=new Label());
     add(left);               // left side of the applet.
     add(ta=new TextArea());          // right side.
     status.setText("See GIF files below.");
public void paint(Graphics appletg) {
     Graphics g=drawarea.getGraphics();
     if (img != null) {
          g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, this);

im not at home or id post some source code but first off
if your going to write a file from a applet your going to
have to get by permisions.
so you should probably do this with a application
it would be alot easier
use toolkit.getdefaulttoolkit() to get the image then
use the pixel graber class to read it into a array
of the type you want string or char
then just write it into a file each element of the array
and when you want to read it just read it in with file reader
you could probaly do a test run just write in each value as
a string and put a comma between each value then use
stringtokenizer to read it back in its less efficient but
for a test run it would make things clearer
sorry if its not much help
