Possible to crop outside the image limits?

In Photoshop, you can crop an image outside of the image's boundaries and photoshop will add a colored background to the extended area. Is this possible to do in Aperture? Here is an example of the end result of what I am talking about on flickr:

Thanks.

You can use the BorderFX plugin to export images with a border like that:

Cropping outside the image boundaries within Lightroom?

Is there a way to rotate a photo and then crop it but be able to crop outside the boundaries of the photo (like you can in Photoshop) where it simply adds black or white background to those areas? It would be very useful not to have to edit in Photoshop each time I want to do this.

I don't beleive that is an option. If you want to make photo borders, you could try the export plug-in LR2/Mogrify.

How do you crop outside the image in Adobe Camera Raw?

I would like to create a crop of a portion of an image in Adobe Camera Raw AND include some area outside that image. Is there a way to do this.

You can't do that in ACR, but you can if you open it in Photoshop and use the crop tool there.

Try using the In Proc RAS SDK.

Crop outside an image

So I'm cropping to a square, but I want the crop to extend off the image area because I want to replace the missing bit in photoshop. This effetively makes the image bigger than the original. the only way to achieve the same effect is to scale the image, that keeps the pixel dimensions the same but effectively reduces the size of the image.
is there a way to crop beyond the iamge bounds, and if not can we have that please

Nope, cannot be done in Lr AFAIK. lightroom doesn't create pixels or alter them.
It is possible upon export using the Mogrify Plug-In, other than that it is a PS job. You can always place a feature request though here.

Ken Burns Effect - select "outside" the image

I have some photos that are too tight and need to zoom out more. I am okay with having black areas.
Is there a way to select the crop square beyond the border of the images?

There is no way to do this within iMovie. You will need to use a photo editor such as photoshop to add the black space. You can do this with iPhoto, using an Automator action "Pad Photos".

I'm new to photoshop and I want to convert an image file to a fabric file like .zfab or .fab...is this possible? I want the image to be in color and the images are .png. I am using windows 8

HI I am using software for fashion design called Marvelous Design . I want to import my fabric patterns which are .png image files but they have to be in .zfab or .fab format. can adobe convert these files into these extensions? If so, how do I do it? Thanks for any help!

This is from File extension FAB - Open .fab files :
The FAB file extension is associated with the Fabmaster software, or file format developed by the Electronic Source Company.
Fabmaster seems to be obsolete product that is not supported by its developers.

As for the software, did you mean Marvelous Designer?

Is it possible to make a preset that makes it crop all my images to 5x7 instead of camera crop?

All my templates for printing are made for 5x7 crops. So my cameras are all 4x6 crops and I want to import my images and have LR crop to 5x7. I've tried to save a 'preset' to save 5x7 but it doesn't save that crop? I can save everything else except a default crop.
I know that i can copy and paste those settings after I import, but it would be nice to have all that done when I import to begin with.
Or maybe theres another shortcut to do this?
Thanks for your consideration.

The placement of an image into an image cell within a page layout, does not require you to have cropped the image (in Develop) to that same shape exactly. The same image can be used within different page layouts at varying aspect ratios.
Normally an image is scaled to FIT into its image cell without loss. This means that margins are left inside the image cell, outside the image area, wherever the aspect ratios do not match. However, by highlighting a given cell and checking the option to "zoom to FILL", the image is instead zoomed larger until no margins are seen. In effect, this is a second on-the-fly "crop" which only operates inside this page setup. By setting this option for all the image cells (good idea to save your layout as an updated page preset), you remove the need to crop images specially for usage within those.
If your image is (say) 4:3 - then this "print crop" will need to trim off parts of the image, to get it to 7:5 proportion. But the same would equally be true if you used the Develop crop, instead, to get it to that same proportion.
Benefits: you still can show / export the same image for other uses, at its original 4:3 shape - or any other shape - in parallel. You can "slide" the crop of the image to a better composition, right inside its framing window within a given page layout, interactively (if it is a free-form layout, you may need to hold the Ctrl / Command key so as to do that).
Personally, as a rule, I retain my as-shot aspect ratio for general purposes. I treat that as a distinctive property of each image, as I took it. I don't want to affect my careful general-purpose composition, merely because I may have printed it in a certain way. Printing is to some degree a separate matter: one can either present those whole-image compositions centred generously inside a variable-margin region of the page - or force-frame them tightly to a given shape on the page - as the whim strikes. And then save that as a Print Collection for future re-use.

How far outside the "38 cities" will 4G reach?

I'm primarily asking about West Lafayette. I live about 3-4 miles outside of West Lafayette in the city of Lafayette. Does anyone know how far outside the "city limits" the 4G access will reach? If I am able to get 4G speeds, I'll hold off on upgrading until the 4G phones come out. If not, I'll be upgrading at the end of the month. Looking at Sprints 4G coverage maps, the service seems to reach pretty far outside the city limits. I know it is different technology and different companies, but I was just curious how this would progress.
Thanks

Follow this link; http://phones.verizonwireless.com/4g/
go to the map feature, and their is a zip code lookup available. I live outside of Pittsburgh proper by about 25 miles, but my zip is included in the 4G coverage area. Now I just need the phones to show up!!

How to remove a crop from selected images

I need to create different crops on same image from one project, from project, to album, and smart folder i have one lot of crops and now i want to make other crops but the images in the project and blue folders have all the new crops too, how do i get back to a folder with no crops, I'd like to keep the retouches to these images though, i think i should have started differenttl?
Help appreciated
Thanks

Not clear on what you have, but to remove the crop on any given image; you can either clear the check mark in the crop brick or remove the crop adjustment altogether. The crop brick shows in the Adjustment Inspector when you crop an image:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/#chapter=17%26section=10
For more info on the crop tool:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/#chapter=18%26section=6%26 hash=apple_ref:doc:uid:Aperture-UserManual-91292MAD-1013949
Note - typically, you would create a new version for additional cropped versions of the image. You can use the 'New Version from Master' command (control-click or right-click on image for the menu). This will create a new version to work on that is un-cropped whether the current version is cropped or not, but will not include any other adjustments either.

How to load images in List from Xml and view the image and resize the image & save in Flex?

How do I rotate the image?

I am using Adobe Photoshop CC and I need to know how to rotate an image.

This is probably more than you ever wanted to know about rotating an image. It is an Information Sheet I wrote and distributed to my students and you may find it helpful.
Three popular methods used to straighten a tilted scene, such as the one shown the first photograph above, are Image Rotation, Straighten and the Level feature in the Crop tool. Each requires you to draw a horizon line or similar reference as a first step in the process, and each produces slightly different result.
Image Rotation*:
1. Choose the Ruler tool. (It is nested with the Eyedropper tool.) Click and drag a reference line as shown in the middle image in the top row above. (The area around the image was lightened and red circles were added for clarity.) Depending upon the subject, the line may be horizontal, as seen here, or vertical.
2. Choose Image > Image Rotation > Arbitrary. When the Rotate Canvas menu appears, click OK. The result will be similar to Fig.1 above, showing the entire image.
Straighten*:
Once again, begin by choosing the Ruler tool and drawing the reference line. A feature was added to the Ruler tool in version CS5 and it appears in the Options bar: the Straighten command. Click on it and the image will be rotated and cropped as seen at the top/right. If you prefer to have the image rotated but not cropped you may either:
1. Hold down the Option key as you click on the Straighten command.
or
2. After clicking on the Straighten command, choose Edit > Undo Crop.
In either case the result will be similar to Fig. 1 above.
The Straighten command, which also appears in CS6, produces a similar image rotation and trims a small amount of picture area as seen in Fig. 2.
The Crop Tool’s Level symbol:
This latest innovation, introduced in CS6, uses a command found in the Options bar of the Crop tool. The equivalent of the Ruler tool is built into the carpenter’s level symbol to the left of the word Straighten in the Options bar. Click on the level and draw the reference line. The image will rotate and the largest rectangular dimensions will be framed by the Crop tool plus, in a shaded area, the part of the image that will be eliminated. This allows you to adjust the image area if desired before cropping the image. The result, before clicking on the Commit key on the right side of the Options bar, appears as seen in Fig. 3.
* When Image Rotation or Straighten is used to tilt the image, each of which also shows blank areas created by the rotation, consider using the Content Aware Fill command,
An oldie but goodie: Crop & Straighten
The image below shows the result when File > Automate > Crop & Straighten Photos was applied to a three-image gang scan. Note that:
1. Each print has clearly defined sides.
2. Each print was separated from the others by at least a half-inch.
This command creates a separate file for each cropped image and leaves the original file intact.

Cropping a JPEG image without re-compression?

Using Photoshop CS6, is it possible to crop a JPG image without recompresing it when I save it?
Thanks
-g

There are some (non-Adobe) apps which will do lossless cropping of JPEGs, such as GraphicConverter and JPEGCrops.

Just the Image Number, Not the words "Version Name" prefix.

When making a contact sheet, is it possible to just have the image number under each photo and NOT the words "Version Name"?
Thanks.

All images are inherently rectangular. You can not save the image without the transparent canvas. However, you can use CSS on your web page to cause otehr items such as text to encroach on the area of the image.
