PS Elements 5 (Making images clearer and importing images into PSE)

Hello,
My boss just took a class on elements 5. He said that his instructor brought up a slighlty below average photograph of a fish in a tank and instantly made it clearer and brighter in just a few clicks. Could you tell me the steps to do that?
Also, he says he is sick of going on his desktop to get his photos. Is there a way you can import them into PS Elements 5.0, so that they are right there in the program on the right?
Please let me know when you can. I really appreciate the guidance.

Hi L.S.
The problem with something like that is... the person doing the instruction
could take what is called a "stock image" that is used to demonstrate a
"fix" technique. This technique, as I think Colin is pointing out won't
necessarily work for another image.
As for the images on the desktop, PSE can move images for you, but it sounds
like you might want to take a course in Windows so that you understand how
to move files around.
If you are thinking of something specific, we can definitely help you
here... just tell us what you want to do... for example "fix a picture" is
not really that specific, but "lighten" or "darken" colours is a little
easier for us to help you with.
Cheers

    I am experiencing Mavericks failing to copy subdirectories from usb sticks, I am backing up game saves from a console. Both sticks I use are fine, same permissions of course since the console wrote the files. Sometimes it copies, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to be related to the mounting process.
    Thank God Apple hasn't (yet) broken bash.

  • Any value in exporting iPhoto pictures and importing them into Aperture?

    I am moving from iPhoto into Aperture (moving my library again actually) and I know that iPhoto and Aperture can share the iPhoto library once it has been updated but I am wondering if there is any value (or even if it is possible) to export all of the iPhoto pictures and import them into a new Aperture library?  The reason that I'm asking this is that I know there are a lot of duplicates in my iPhoto library and I know that Aperture keeps only the original.  A couple of weeks ago I moved my iPhoto library onto an external LaCie SSD disk to use with my MacBook Pro but unfortunately corrupted that library and have to make the move again.  If there is any value in changing how I'm managing my library I should do it now.
    The library corruption was caused by me needing to leave for work and disconnecting the LaCie before Aperture was done sync'ing with my Flickr account.  When I tried to use Aperture the next day it was not able to repair/rebuild or use the iPhoto library at all.  I was unfortunately not backing up the external disk so I lost everything that I had done to clean up the library after the move.  One lesson that I learned was do not automatically sync with Flickr because doing this on an MBP via wireless with an external disk library can add a lot of delay to shutting down Aperture after an MBP wakeup.

    Just in case you have not come across these:
    Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture
    Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries
    but I am wondering if there is any value (or even if it is possible) to export all of the iPhoto pictures and import them into a new Aperture library?
    You can - an it will depend on what you want to achieve, if that will usefull. The way to do this would be by imprting your iPhoto library into an Aperture library using Aperture. But Aperture libraries and iPhoto libraries are now interchangable - both are photo libraries, and you could simply use your iPhoto library in Aperture and be done now.
    Some reasons why you would want to turn your iPhoto library into a library recognized as Aperture library by importing it into a new, empty Aperture Library:
    As long as the photo library will have the "Kind: iPhoto library", you will have to upgrade both iPhoto and Aperture always to the newest versions, or you will not be able to upgrade to a new library format, when a new release of Aperture comes - say (iPhoto '12 and Aperture 4); you will probably have to buy both new releases to continue working with your iPhoto Library in Aperture.
    If the kind of your library is "Kind: iPhoto library", it will appear in the Media Browser in the iPhoto section, not in the Aperture section, even if you are using it as your Aperture library. And before syncing with iTunes you will always have to open the Aperture library in iPhoto to point iTunes to it.
    Also, in Aperture you have more control about what will be included in your library - In iPhoto there is no way to specify the size and quality of previews. If you do not want or need previews, or you want smaller previews, or no Faces, it would make sense to recreate your iPhoto library by importing it into a new, empty Aperture Library.
    If you have more than one iPhoto Library, you can merge them into one big Aperture library to be able to browse all your images without having to switch between libraries. Aperture works very well with really big libraries. There is no need to split libraries.
    The reason that I'm asking this is that I know there are a lot of duplicates in my iPhoto library and I know that Aperture keeps only the original.
    That is what I meant by having more control on what will be stored. iPhoto will always store a very high quality preview of your edited version; in Aperture you can decide what the preview size and quality will be. But Previews and originals are not duplicates; they are not the same image.

  • Export scenarios from XI and import them into PI

    Dear experts
    We are planning to upgrade our exitsting XI 3.0 to PI7.0.
    Due to system requeriments, we need to install PI on new hardware and migrate all the existing scenario's from XI 3.0 PI7.'0
    How to migrate the existing ABAP developements from XI to PI  ?
    It's possible to export scenarios from XI and import them into PI?
    Thanks, in advance
    Carme

    Hi,
    you should go to PI 7.1 and not PI 7.0 otherwise it makes not so much sense.
    And yes it's possible to migrate your scenarios. If you have UDFs you have to check them because the java version has changed.

    If you're trying to import it into FCE, it needs to be DV/(HDV), not AVI or MPEG4. Try using MPEG Streamclip + the QT MPEG2 Playback Component. Handbrake isn't going to get you where you need to go.

    I want to take stock footage of an explosion and import it into my flash cartoon project so that the explosion no longer has the black background. That way I have a real none cartoon looking explosion in the video with my cartoons. Is this possible? If so how do I do it?

    convert the animation to a gif or png sequence (if it's not already) and import into flash.  use modify>trace>trace bitmap to convert the bitmaps to vectors and remove the backgrounds.
    or use a video editor to remove the video's background.  rotoscoping with after effects would be a good choice.

  • Adobe Elements 11 Organizer and Importing images from camera.

    I changed Adobe Elements version (from 10 to 11) and Brand New all-in-one Dell XPS computer that comes with Windows 8 as OS (From XP SP3) ... Now my import in Adobe Organzer gets stuck.   Adobe Elements sees the camera, and compares the files on my camera to the photos in Organizer and knows how may are duplicates.   I then select all the photos it finds as Non-Duplicates and tell it what directory to import into and select (Finish/Import) and it just sits there.  I can change anything on that screen for options, but it really is locked up.   I have to use Task Manager to end the task so that I can get back into Adobe Organizer.    Maybe there is some kind of incompatibility with Windows 8 I am not aware of?

    As you said "I am using this method as a bandaid, but this method will constantly copy all files (including old photos still on card) to a new folder.  This means that I have the same photo being copied from my cameras memory to multiple locations.  Not the best method (lots of clutter). "
    This is not so. Importing photos using Watched Folders doesn't copy your photos to any other location.
    Please empty your card and add 1-2 images to it. Now launch Photodownloader.exe from the location : C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer
    Post doing this, launch Organizer. Let's see if the import happens.
    Thanks

  • Moving images and importing images

    Hello everyone:
    I am new to this forum and am a new Aperture user.
    I am unable to move images from a project to an album within that project. When I try to do so the "+" cursor shows with the number of images I am trying to move, but when I open up the album there are no images in it.
    Also when I try to import images from my camera to a particular album, they only go into the album's project, not the album itself.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thankyou.

    Welcome to the forum! The following questions might sound stupid, but bear with me...
    They are definitely regular Albums and not Smart Albums?
    The Albums don't have any search criteria set, such as minimum ratings?
    What happens when you select some images and hit Command-L (make a new Album from the selection)?
    Does the problem still occur after relaunching Aperture and/or restarting the computer?
    Is there a number visible next to the Album name (turn it on in the preferences if need be), and if so, does it still say '0'?

  • Compressor 3.5 and Importing Image Sequences

    Hi,
    The marketing says,
    ++++++++++++++++++++
    Image sequence support
    Graphics compositing applications and film workflows often use an image sequence format for cross-platform compatibility as well as to keep quality high. Image sequences treat each video or film source frame as a still image.
    Compressor 3.5 imports image sequences in standard formats including TIFF, Targa, DPX, and OpenEXR. You can specify an audio file to incorporate with the image sequence as you import it — for example, the original field-recorded audio for a clip that was converted to a sequence.
    ++++++++++++++++++++
    But exactly how is this done with Compressor 3.5? Don't see it in the wizard or Add File dialogue boxes.
    thanks!

    Oops, just found it.

    However, I can import a SGI file on it's own, but not with the above menu selection - the files are gray'd out.

  • WLSE and importing images from CCO

    Device type: AP1100-IOS, version: 12.2.15-JA. Image import failed. Imported file is not a valid image
    I thought this might be because I was running 2.7 and so I upgraded to 2.7.1 and still the same problem. Anyone else encountered this?
    Regards
    Doug Pallette

    Most likely due to CSCee37875. Workaround is to use Import from Desktop instead, after downloading the image from CCO outside of WLSE.
