Proper resizing technique

I need help with properly resizing a color logo.
I opened the logo in photoshop 1200dpi by 800dpi
I need to resize it to 300dpi.
When I do it loses its crispness, the diagonal edges show significant aliasing. I need the curves and edges to remain crisp. Anyone know of a good technique?

Make sure you're using the bicubic sharper algorithm, which is an option in the image size dialog box. Another thing you can do is duplicate the resize logo on another layer with ctrl-j command and run filter > other > high pass with a 1 pixel radius. Then set the blend mode of the top (duplicate) layer to soft light, overlay, vivid light or linear light in the layers panel. They will sharpen the image to stronger degrees, respectively. You can also reduce the opacity of the top layer to mitigate the effect.
I find the light halos of bicubic sharper and the above method can be distracting, particularly around fine lines and type, so I use blend if on the top layer. Double click the layer in the layers panel. With the option key pressed, click just to the left of the right-hand (white) slider under "this layer" in the blend if section. You should see the slider split in two. Then drag the left hand part of the split white slider all the way to the left. This keeps the sharpening halos from lightening things too much. I you need to you can always hit option while in the layer style dialogue box and "cancel" becomes "reset".

How to proper resize images and videos at runtime without losing quality?

Hi guys. I need a bit of help here.
I've built a flash site in which i want to resize a movie to the stage. I do it by keeping the proportion, thus i only resize the width and then i resize the height acordingly to the new width but keeping the proportion.
The problem is that my film still looks "pixeled".
I found a website on which the stage resizes dinamically with the movie and the background images without either of them losing quality. Till now i knew that resizing images or videos in flash at authoring or runtime produces pixeled results.
This is the website: http://kampanjeweb.apt.no/jotun/romforrom/. Can someone tell me how do they do it without losing quality? just make the browser windowed and resize the margins to see the effect.
Thanks.

Hello, Venian.
About the video, you could try setting the flash.media.Video's smoothing property to TRUE. This should keep a quality, but you can do nothing if the video has a poor quality. You need a great video.
About the images, you you need to redraw the image each time you resize it. To achieve it, use a combination of Bitmap, BitmapData and Matrix classes. Any doubt, just call again. Here is a simple example:
var scale:Number = .5;
var highQualitySourceImage:Bitmap = ...your image...;
var scaleMatrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
scaleMatrix.scale(scale, scale);
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData( scale*highQualitySourceImage.width, scale*highQualitySourceImage.height);
bitmapData.draw(highQualitySourceImage, scaleMatrix);
var finalBitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bitmapData);
addChild( finalBitmap );

Proper exporing techniques.

Hi all,
I need help in exporting my project. My timeline settings are DV-PAL. And used current settings when exporting to QT. I do NOT use Quicktime conversion, all i do is export QT use current settings.
The presentation are mostly compromised of JPEGS. The output has to be a DVD in PAL format.
if so what should my settings be in order to lessen the blur/pixelation of the presentation? At the same time, it is possible that i make a DVD that when you play in a CPU and use enter FULL screen, the movie i created does not pixelate or blur? I mean it looks fine on normal size, but people want tow atch it in FULL SCREEN. So how can i make it better?
Any techniques you share will be very helpful.
THANK YOU!!

what program are you using for DVD export? with DVD Studio Pro you want to make a mpeg2 compression. You can do this in FCP by File>Export>Compressor. There you will want to make two files, an Mpeg2 video file, and a dolby 2.0 file for audio. Place these 2 in DVD studio pro to write your DVD.
as far as your blurriness problem when viewing full screen on your comp. your pixel dimensions are not big enough to view full screen so when you choose full screen view; your pixels are being blown up to compensate for the smaller size of your pixel dimensions and your viewer is compensating by blurring the image. How you can get around this? i'm sure another user will have more insight.

Something is wrong with Firefox's image auto resize

In forums, when I post an image, it's seems to be doing an incorrect image auto resize, for the image is still large to be fit in the websites' pages, and when I CTRL+Scroll, the browser makes a proper resize though making the letters and numbers smaller.

Resizing images automatically only works if you open an image in a tab and there is only that image to be shown. In all other cases it is the website that determines how large an image is displayed.<br />
If you post an image on a forum and the forum doesn't resize the image automatically then use an upload host that automatically generates a thumbnail that you can show and that opens the full sized image if you click the thumbnail.

Div or iFrame resize depending on content.

Can you hide a div unless you make it visible when being
clicked? How?
I have tried to use an iFrame for this, but cannot make it
right. I cannot make the div being resized depending on the content
of the page being targeted. That is why I have thought about maybe
using divs in stead.
I hope someone understand what I mean! Can anyone help?

How can I merge two TIFF images in one...?

I need some help please, I am looking for a way to "resize" black & white single TIFF images.
The process I need to do is like cutting a small image and paste it over a new blank letter-size image (at 300 dpi), like a template.
Or better yet, is there a way to do something like this...?
Open image...
image.*width* = 2550;
image.*height* = 3300;
image.save();Some APIs and topics in the internet do or talk about resizing, but the final images get stretched or shrinked and I need them not to do so at all.
Also, I do not need to display the images, only to get the TIFF images processed and saved back to a file.
How can I do this with Java and JAI? Unfortunately I am almost new to this and I don't know how difficult it might be to deal with images.

If 2550 x 3300 isn't the original aspect ratio of the image, then the image is going to looked streched or shrinked in at least one dimension. There is no way around that. It would be like resizing a 2 pixel by 2 pixel image into a 3 pixel by 6 pixel image. The image would look like it's height shrunk or it's width stretched. Had I resized it to 3 pixels by 3 pixels or 6 pixels by 6 pixels, though, then it wouldn't look shrunken or streched.
Open image...
image.*width* = 2550;
image.*height* = 3300;
image.save();*1)* To open a TIFF image you can use the javax.swing.ImageIO class. It has these static methods
read(File input)
read(ImageInputStream stream)
read(InputStream input)
read(URL input) You can use which ever method you want. But first you need to install [JAI-ImageIO|https://jai-imageio.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html]. The default ImageReaders that plug themselves into the ImageIO package are BMP, PNG, GIF, and JPEG. JAI-ImageIO will add TIFF, and a few other formats.
The downside is that if clients want to you use your program on their machine then they to will need to install JAI-ImageIO to read the tiffs. To get around this, you can go to your Java/jdk1.x.x_xx/jre/lib/ext/ folder and copy the jai_imageio.jar file (after you've installed JAI-ImageIO). You can also obtain this jar from any one of the zip files of the [daily builds|https://jai-imageio.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html#Daily_builds]. If you add this jar to your program's classpath and package it together with your program, then clients won't need to install JAI-ImageIO and you'll still be able to read TIFF's. The downside of simply adding the jar to the classpath is that you won't be able to take advantage of a natively accelerated JPEG reader that comes with installing JAI-ImageIO (instead, ImageIO will use the default one).
*2)* Once you've installed [JAI-ImageIO|https://jai-imageio.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html] and used ImageIO.read(...), you'll have a BufferedImage. To resize it you can do the following
BufferedImage newImage = new BufferedImage(2550,3300,BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_BINARY);
Graphics2D g = newImage.createGraphics();
g.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION, RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR);
g.drawImage(oldImage,0,0,2550,3300,null);
g.dispose();Here, I simply drew the old image (the one returned by ImageIO.read(...)) onto a new BufferedImage object of the appropriate size. Because you said they were black and white TIFF's, I used BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_BINARY, which is a black and white image. If you decide to use one the BufferedImage types that support color, then a 2550x3330 image would require at least 25 megabytes to hold into memory. On the other hand, a binary image of that size will only take up about one meg.
I specified on the graphics object that I wanted Bilinear Interpolation when scaling. The default is Nearest Neighbor interpolation, which while fast, dosen't look very good. Bilinear offers pretty good results scaling both up or down at fast speeds. Bicubic interpolation is the next step up. If you find the resized image to be subpar, then come back and post. There are a couple of other ways to resize an image.
Note, however, if 2550 x 3300 is not the same aspect ratio as the the TIFF image you loaded, then the resized image will look shrunk or stretched along one dimension. There is absolutely no way around this no matter what resizing technique you use. You'll need an image whose original dimensions are in a 2550/3300 = .772 ratio if you want the resized image to not look like it's streched (you can crop the opened image if you want).
*3)* Now we save the "newImage" with the same class we read images with: ImageIO . It has these static methods
write(RenderedImage im, String formatName, File output)
write(RenderedImage im, String formatName, ImageOutputStream output)
write(RenderedImage im, String formatName, OutputStream output)You'll suply the resized BufferedImage as the first parameter, "tiff" as the second parameter and an appropriate output for the third parameter. It's pretty much a one line statement to read or write an image. All in all, the whole thing is about 7 lines of code. Not bad of all.
Now as for the 300 dpi thing, there is a way to set the dpi in the Image's metadata. I'm pretty good at reading an image's metadata, but I've never really tried writing out my own metadata. I know you can set the dpi, and I have a somewhat vague idea how it might be done, but it's not something I've tried before. I think I'll look more into it.

AE Files no longer working in Premiere

I do a weekly video for my church, motion graphics were created and I've been using the same files for a year, I do to drop the ae files in premiere exactly the same process every week no changes and the files just show a series of colored bars

After Effects, Premiere Pro, in fact any NLE does not save the source files with the project, only links to the files are stored. No editing or compositing program I have ever used in more than 20 years cutting films on a computer or in 40 years in film and television has ever done that. You have to gather the files and keep them organized. There is no failure on Adobe's part here, only failure to understand and apply proper workflow technique.
I'm working on a film that has more than 7 terabytes of footage can you imagine how long it would take for Premiere Pro to save the project file if it had to re-write 7 terabytes to the hard drive every time you did a save? You'll have to ask the original artist to reload the files then relink them in your AE project. It will just take a moment and if the folder names and locations are the same it will be automatic. Then I suggest that you use After Effects collect files feature to make a local copy you can keep safe.

Video and audio latency from 6 seconds to 4 seconds

Hello,
I have developed a video transmission and viewing application . I am facing a problem of one way video latency of about 6 seconds.
Adobe says that the latency can be reduced to about 3 seconds one way. I have set up the buffertime for transmitter about 3 seconds.
Please can anyone suggest me how to reduce the latency from 6 seconds to about 3 seconds ??
I have no issues regarding the bandwidth , but can anyone suggest the proper optimization technique for CPU and memory usage .
What should be the ideal configuration for minimum latency.
Currently my audio and video transmission one way is 6 sec and hence 2 way for both is 12 -14 sec.
Kindly guide me how to resolve the problem.
Thanks,
Chinmay Chitale

followed your instructions and as soon as I tick "multiplexed Mpeg-1/layer 2 audio" the m2v extension changes to mts. This won't play in Quicktime even if i change the extension to mpg, m2v or whatever. I'm assuming i need a quicktime plugin to fix this.

PLEASE HELP ASAP! Button in Flash CS3 not working

I need help desperately. As soon as possible. I only know the
VERY basic's of flash, so I need it to be simple!! I am using Flash
CS3, but the only coding I know is from Flash 8.
1.I simply want to just be able to type out text that will be
my button. (I clearly know how to do this)
2.Convert that text to a button. (I know how to do this as
well)
3. Apply an action to the button. (I keep getting the error
"actions cannot be applied to the current selection")
4. Have that button go to a specific place in the timeline
that I have named (It has the red flag next so I know where to send
the button to)
5. This is the ONLY code I know is even close to what I need
to have it be at:
on (release) {
//Movieclip GotoAndStop Behavior
this.gotoAndStop("graphic");
//End Behavior
Is there a way to upload the flash files? If so I will
upload, because I know this sounds simple enough, but it wont work.
Thanks
Ashlee

You are trying to use AS1 in your movie, and the movie's
Publish settings are set to use AS3. You can use your current code
by opening the Publish Settings, going to the Flash tab and then
selecting AS1-AS2 in the Actionscript option.
A better, long term solution, would be to read through the
tutorials that come with Flash CS3 to learn the proper coding
techniques to use with AS3.

Looking to create a scroll bar within a section of a webpage

I think the best example of this is in the iTunes store i.e. you have a section of say, music, and you scroll left to right to see more.
I'd appreciate any help with this, whether it be the proper coding techniques or pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Muse does not currently provide this functionality, so it will require a bit of hand coding.

Help With Various Dreamweaver Issues

Dear Friends,
This is my first post and I appreciate any help any of you
can give me. My knowledge of web design is minimal, but I do have a
basic understanding. The fundamentals of HTML and web design as a
whole are pretty clear. My weakness, however, shows in the fine
detailed issues that come up throughout the course of designing a
website, and much of it may have to do with a lack of knowledge
with the software I'm using. I love Dreamweaver CS3. It's an
excellent program. I'm totally hooked!
I'm in the process of building a website for a friend who
owns a retail gift store. The site has a total of 41 pages. The URL
is
http://www.southerncharmgifts.net
It has taken me over a month to get this site to the place
where it is now. I've learned a TON about web design, CSS, and the
Dreamweaver program itself. I've been able to work through many of
the issues I've had, but I'm stuck on a few things:
1.
Browser Issues.
I've found it hard to sync the content between browsers:
namely IE and Firefox.
For example:
In IE the sub-menus wrap (as I want them to), but in Firefox
they do not. But in Firefox the sub-menu
box borders are visible (vertical menus), even though the
text doesn't wrap, but it's obviously in the dimensions that are
seen in IE.
In Firefox, the sub-menus are too far from the parent. It
looks bad. But they are perfect in IE.
The background image is centered in IE between the menus and
adverts, but not in Firefox. How do I get the background image to
remain between the menus and adverts? (Note: There is no background
on the home page. Also, wider screens seem to move the background
in IE, too.)
In the horizontal menu "Category" the sub-menu item "Babies"
cannot be selected in Firefox. In IE it works.
There are gaps between items in the horizontal sub-menu. It
appears to be related to items not wrapping, but it doesn't seem
that enlarging the sub-menu box causes the item to not wrap. For
example, under "Category" "Candles & Fragrances" is wrapped and
it seems to be the reason why there is a large gap between "Babies"
and "Eyewear." If I can find a way to get Candles & Fragrances
to NOT wrap it might remove the gap.
2. CSS Issue.
I can't find a way to have the sub-menu hover
underline instead of highlight the items. I want it to
underline.
3. "False" Issue.
In the
vertical sub-menu "by CATEGORY" the word "false" shows up
just below the word "Babies." (It's hard to see, but it's there.)
THANKS!!

Your limited research has failed to uncover the essence of
proper technique
in creating web pages. Layers are NOT a general layout tool
and will cause
you much more grief than you ever imagined. Here's one big
reason -

It is my personal opinion based on seeing hundreds (if not
thousands) of new
users throw themselves on their swords as a result of having
committed to
pages built with layers, on this very forum.

Starting over from scratch need not involve a redesign of the
graphics. But
on a site built from layers, it would certainly involve a
rethinking of the
layout method. Read this -

Waking up ncWaitForState

Hello,
i have a problem with my application after updating from nican 1.6 to nican 2.1.2.
To receive CAN messages, i start a thread and wait with ncWaitForState. Now, if i want to stop this thread, i send NC_ST_STOP with ncAction, and ncWaitForState returned (in Version 1.6). With nican 2.1.2 ncWaitForState doesn't return. How can i perform the same functionality in the new version ?
I don't want to kill the thread because of proper programming techniques.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Harry

Black & code alert message

Hello,
I'm using FCP to black & code mini DV tapes. After the message "... you are about to erase ..." and click okay to start black & code, another message came up saying " The selected audio & video devices may not match: Apple Fire wire NTSC (720X480) & Built in Audio. Please verify that the audio & video outputs are externally routed to the intended device(s). Do you want to proceed?" I'm using a Canon GL2, fire wire and a 12" G4 laptop. I've blacked/coded a few tapes before, but don't remember this message. What does it mean?
Thanks

Holly,
I fully understand the advantages of logging the tape and capturing that way ... its the way I've done it all along. What I don't understand is how blacking the tape prior to a shoot would help in that process if you're using proper shooting techniques.
In the old days of analog tape, you'd routinely black a tape in order to lay down an unbroken timecode or control track IF that tape was going to used for insert editing or recording - it was pretty useless for assemble editing or recording since assemble recording overwrites information including the timecode and/or control track.
With the advent of digital tape formats, it's no longer an issue. If you record the appropriate amount of preroll and post roll for each shot, the timecode being written by the camcorder should remain unbroken unless the camcorder looses all battery/power, including the lithium battery which holds the settings. Essentially, all you're doing is adding a pass to the tape. For example, if you black virgin tape, when you go to shoot, it will be the second pass on that tape.

IPhone 4 Bumper scratch options

hi i know people are going to say how can plastic scratch metal but before i put bumper on i clean it wit iphone cleaning cloth and clean iphone antenna but it still scratches i rang apple and they said they would give me a new bumper however these scratches have significantly de-vauled my iphone 4. what are my option and could i get a new phone also would cleaning iphone antenna with alcoholic swab damage the antenna

The rubber bumper cannot scratch the iPhone. However, the bumper does not make a hermetic seal with the iPhone, and dirt/dust/crud can get between the iPhone surface and the bumper...and that can scratch the iPhone. The proper iPhone technique is included in the User's Guide, and that's available online. I would not expect that alcohol would damage the antenna, however, it is likely that alcohol would deteriorate the oleophobic coating on the iPhone screen.
