Question about images....Image Size ... Augh!!!

I am curious about importing images into FCP. I understand that pixels in an image are square and that in video they are rectangular. When I import an image into FCP it looks great, until I export and then they take on a "fatter" look. I know that when you import an image as a Multi-layered Photoshop document that FCP will automatically adjust for it. But if you import a .TIFF, .PNG, or .JPEG that you will need to compensate for it's image size prior to importing.. (which is quite confusing)... I come across images of all ppi, resolution, and size.
Two things I have discovered.... If I import it as a Multilayered Photoshop file and then export it, I seem to lose quality. But if I import it without compensating for image size(it looks better within FCP) and then export it using Compressor with a DV NTSC 4:3 setting, it looks fairly dead on and the image maintains it's high quality.... but I know this is not the way to do it.
So here is my questions...
1) What am I doing wrong? Is there a simple formula to get it correct everytime?
2) Is there anyway that FCP can compensate for pixel changes on a single layer image or do I need to convert each image to a Photoshop Multilayer Document? Why am I losing quality?
3) Is there anyway to import single layer images and have Compressor export it how I see it on my computer monitor?
Thanks for any help....!

Noob question about HDR images

hi everybody! i am reading this book about photoshop hoping to understand a lot more than i already know about pixels and colors and image dinamics and such..i got to the chapter about HDR images and here's what i dont get. as i understand, given a HDR image it has 32 bit depth meaning its file contains much more information about contrast and brightness than any existing monitor can output, so when u open it in photoshop u will never see its true quality. my question is( and i admit it may seem pointless to some, but i am committed to understand the cause and purpose), when converting it to 8 or 16 bit depth this window pops up asking me to tweak gamma, exposure, shadows and highlights, etc., but why is this linked to the conversion process? why not simply convert it, maintain the same appearance as before and then if needed manually adjust using all the image controls from the photoshop menus? i have CS6, if that matters.

I don't know if this will help, but I've heard about HDR monitors (still very expensive), which supposedly very accurately display the HDR values. If you hang one on the wall in your house, people might think it's a window, since it is literally a source of light, in the same way a window to the outside world is.
Possibly the most surprising use of HDR imagery is in 3D apps where global illumination models are used. HDR imagery literally is the only source of light for these images. There are no lights in the scene, only HDR imagery. This is because of the great dynamic range of HDR.
A more practical (to me) use of HDR is when resurrecting antique images. If you scan multiple exposures from old prints, then create HDR, sculpting values in 16-bit becomes a very powerful tool, only due to the HDR value range.
Photoshop, although it can edit very well in 16-bit, can only show 8-bit representations of HDR imagery, since almost all monitors are 8-bits per channel. Because of the monitors, we can only see a small part of what is actually present in the HDR file.
I've never done it, but I imagine that if we all had HDR monitors, we'd need to wear protective glasses (like you wear driving in your car when the sun is out) most of the time to do our work. :+)

Question about Domain file size...

I have a dot Mac account, and my iDisk capacity is 1 Gb.
As I regularly back-up my Domain file from my G5 iMac to a FW external drive that sits on my desk, I have just noticed that the file size is now just over 1 Gb.
Can someone please explain to me why I still have almost 700Mb left on my iDisk, yet my Domain file size is over 1 Gb?? Obviously, there must be 'internal' files that aren't copied to the iDisk.
Thanks,
Rachel.

Wow, that's quite a discrepancy. 1gb Domain vs. 300mb site? Well suffice it to say that the Domain file contains all the information that is needed to generate your site. But it makes me curious too why you have such a large discrepancy. Do you have a lot of video on your site?
My site is only about 50-60mb and my Domain is roughly the same size. When I first started using iWeb, I used to poke around inside the Domain file quite a bit more than I do now. You can open up your Domain file by Control-clicking it and selecting "Show Package Contents." At one point early on when I was blithely dragging and dropping stuff into iWeb and publishing just for experimentation, I noticed that even after I deleted images or EVEN WHOLE PAGES, that sometimes the Domain file would still contain images and quicktime movies left over from the deleted pages. I didn't know what was going on and actually tried to delete the "old" items from the Domain file, but I ended up with a non-functional Domain file...lots of error messages saying it was missing this and that. So I started over completely with a new Domain file. I also noticed at the time that my Domain file was several megabytes larger than my site.
Since then, I have been very careful only to drag items to iWeb that will actually be used. The Domain-to-site size ratio has stayed pretty much 1:1. So I chalked up my earlier experience as a fluke. I don't know. Maybe there is an inconsistency somewhere. In fact, do a search here on "Domain file optimizing" or "Domain file bloat" and you may be able to find my questions about the issue. I never did get any responses, though.

Follow Up Question about shadow Images

Hello!
A couple weeks ago I asked about drop shadows set with images
and I was
given some helpful
advice. Something came up and I wasn't able to get back to
putting the
information into application until a couple days ago. Forgive
my ignorance
but another question has surfaced. Many here advocate that a
serious web
page maker learn the ins and outs of HTML and CSS. I have
been making
significant headway in both. Some unanswered questions
persist and while I
can ferit it out
through more reading and experiementing, it seems best, for
expedience sake
to ask
the question that is effecting my immediate situation. I have
three images - top, center (this one repeats), and bottom -
that I am trying
to place as a background. Here is the CSS that I
have written for the accasion, based on the advice given here
on this forum.
The problem I am having is applying the div tags in the
correct manner that
will give me the results I am looking for. Here is how the
code renders
through IE 7:
http://www.ors-llc.com/AboutORS/experiment.html.
As you see
the images are not one continuous background image. Obviously
I have
something wrong here; can anyone advise?
Thank you in advance.

Question about taking Images from video in FCP

I just recently upgraded from pinnacle to FCP 7 and am loving it. My question is when I try to take a still Image from video using Quick Time Conversion, the image comes out blurry or with bars around the edges of people. At first I thought It was because I was trying to capture a moving Image, but then I tried it with someone standing still and I ran into the same problem.
I shoot with a Canon XH-A1

Take the exported file to Photoshop and use Image Size to correct the aspect ratio of the image. Apply the Deinterlace filter in Photoshop to remove the interlacing.

IWeb SEO tool question about tagging images: what do others do?

I've been reading everybody's posts and started to use iWeb SEO Tool to add meta tags to all my pages. (since google couldn't verify my site with html) The page titles, keywords, and meta tags are relatively easy to decide on, but I don't know what to do about some of the images.
If it's a definite photo of a subject, no problem, but what about those pesky shapeimage5_link0 and shapeimage_1.jpg files?
What do i name them ? line 1, thicker line 2, arrow? (I'm being flippant here, ... really).
I've just been calling them 'stained glass link' or 'next arrow link' but that's pretty dull.
In some cases (for the lines) i've titled them with the name of the webpage again, but with several lines on the page, that tag is repeated, a lot. (And i read that if you repeat the same tag too frequently, your site is banned from google, which i don't want.)
I thought they didn't matter too much but when i did a search from one of the search engines, the description of the web page actually included shapeimage5a.png or some such thing, and i don't want that to appear in people's searches !!
So what do other people do about these? How do you name them?
Thanks for the suggestions
Elizabeth

You'll get instructions about the HTML verification file here....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/SearchEngines/Tools.html
The main thing with images is TEXT. Put a text caption for each. If possible, don't use the iWeb Photos and Albums templates.
Put a text description at the top of every page with keywords in both the title and text. The spiders will pick up on this.
If you don't do this, at least put a fairly long title tag in. Make sure the first few words are descriptive of the page so that they are relevant to a page bookmark.
If the search engines are picking up on stuff like "shapeimage5_link0" it means that you haven't supplied any unique and relevant text!

Question about brightening images and automating layers

I've been using Photoshop CS5 for a while now but there are still a few things I'm wondering about.
The first is about brightening an image without adding or reducing too much contrast at the same time. If I increase the Brightness slider in the Brightness/Contrast window it often adds too much unwanted contrast and will wash out parts of the image or cause too much saturation. Same thing when using Curves to brighten the image. On the other hand I've found that using Levels to brighten the image reduces too much contrast and desaturates the image too much...and then when I add more contrast in afterward, parts of the image will become washed out again. So far the best solution I've found has been to brighten the images with Shadows/Highlights, but this will often pose its own set of problems by creating or eliminating shadows in a way that doesn't flatter the image. It can also add too much contrast in some cases. Is there any other way around this that I'm missing? Or is this all to be expected when brightening images? The only other workaround I've found has been to add in separate un-affected layers for the areas of the picture that become too washed out when the brightness is increased but then there's always a problem of getting those parts of the picture to match up with the rest afterward.
The second is about having layers for each change applied to an image. Is there any way to have each change that is applied to an image automatically also be made into its own separate layer? For example, if I sharpen a part of the image that would automatically become layer 2, then if I adjusted the saturation that would automatically become layer 3 and so on. I know the History Panel does something very similar to this, and that's the type of thing I'm looking for, but I'd like each of those changes being made into a layer instead of just a recorded history state. This way, for example, I could individually adjust each change with the opacity slider and compare the image with and without some of the changes by clicking the eye icon next to each layer. I know new layers can be created manually but I'm looking for some way to automate it.
Thanks for the help.

You seem to have no firm grasp yet on the concept of non-destructive image editing using Photoshop’s existing options, specifically Adjustment Layers, Smart Objects/Smart Filters and Layer Masks.
The Layers structure is a much more valuable tool than the History in my opinion.
Instead of applying an Adjustment or Filter destructively you might want to try applying it as an Adjustment Layer or a Smart Filter (either with its own Mask or on a copy of the Smart Object with a Layer Mask, because all Smart Filters applied to one instance of a Smart Object must share one Mask).
Those Layers can subsequently be changed with regard to Opacity, Blend Mode etc. or the Adjustment and Filter settings themselves.

Hi, question about resize images shortest side

Hi, I have PS ext CS6 64b on win 7 pc, I have more images files(psd), I want after finish to edit all, to automatic flatern psd files, change the size of each image to 1000px on shortest side(are landscape and portrait images), and save as jpg at 100% quality;I know how to use batch function in PS, I know to make this for folders with images with only width being shortest side or only for folders with height being the shortest side, but the problem it is that images are mixed ,even in the same folder, so , I must make a batch that open the file, ftattern the image, and run the script who will determine who it is the shortest side(width or height) then, resize to 1000px for shortest side, and save to jpg with 100% quality, and close the image.
The script I think it is like this:
if (width < height)
resize width 1000
else
resize height 1000
But I am not good at all on coding, so I ask here for help, how can I do it?

apologies, I forgot to check if your settings are in pixels. Try this;
var strtRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
var strtTypeUnits = app.preferences.typeUnits;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
app.preferences.typeUnits = TypeUnits.PIXELS;
var docRef = activeDocument;
var thewidth = docRef.width;
var theheight = docRef.height;
if (thewidth < theheight){
docRef.resizeImage (1000, null,);
else{
docRef.resizeImage (null, 1000);

Question about an image in a text frame

hi, everybody,<br /> i want to get the UIDRef to an image in a text frame and i used the codes below: <br /><br />UIDRef imageUIDRef = UIDRef(database, ownedList[i].fUID);;<br /> InterfacePtr<IImageDataAccess> imageAccess(imageUIDRef, IID_IIMAGEDATAACCESS);<br /><br />(ownedList[i] is the list which contains the inline boss i want to get)<br /><br />here i always get an imageAccess == nil, i think it is caused by the invalid imageUIDRef.<br /><br />can someone tell me how to resolve this??? or tell me another way to get the UIDRef to the image.<br /><br />Thanks a lot!!

Oliver and Quake,
during initial development, you frequently reach a method that just returns a UID, UIDList etc. That approach with IUnknown and debugclassutil is a way to determine the boss class of such a UID in clear text, for your further research.
You would then go to the documentation (programming guide, API docs, samples) and find out about the typical use of this boss class. This mainly means you find the list of interfaces supported by the boss class.
Open docs/references/sdkdocs/html/classIImageAttributes.html
See at the bottom that this interface is on kImageItem and some strange others, but not on kInlineBoss.
Open docs/references/sdkdocs/html/classkInlineBoss.html
See it has an interface IHierarchy.
If you do not find your desired interface on a boss class, that means you have to navigate to a different boss object.
IHierarchy is an important interface for navigation in the page, because it implements the page item tree. So when the programming guide tells you to use IHierarchy to find an image from the inline boss, follow that path. On the other hand, it is just one interface of many, so you can't do that generalization that it fits all purposes. Even on the page tree you can encounter inlines, text on path that form a separate page item tree. To know the best path is called experience.
In the release code you should not wire to specific ::GetClass values (as seen somewhere in this thread). Instead, you have an expectation of interfaces, and if an object supports them it is ok. Let's say I implement a new page item boss to support strange text flow or different image types. That page item will still have bounds. If you need bounds, find the appropriate interface and just use it. The same goes for attributes - if you deal with attributes in general and encounter a new attribute that supports the standard interfaces, just let it through.
Oliver, I don't even know the boss class returned by IIDXMLElement->GetContentItem() for your specific purposes, but I would take the same approach. I use a plugin grown in the past 5 years that visits most interfaces and hooks into all notifications I ever encountered. This produces tons of output, but otherwise it is the same as with simple debugclassutil.
An important issue is the preparation of test data. You just have to know that XML elements can point to many things in the InDesign universe, so tag a few tables, inlines, TOP, page items that use standoff and so forth, and see what you get. WYSIWYG at its best.
Of course I could spend the whole day constructing examples, doing the analysis and copy-paste-post code. At least for me that is beyond the scope of the forum - maybe Adobe will some time replace Ken, otherwise there are the developer support cases. As I am not sponsored by paycheck, most of the time I try to keep my answers to short keywords or plain text - you will rarely see code from me. If you need that, there have been several postings on this list, and I am also available for consulting.

Question about Disk Image Backup/Restoring

Ok, so i have a weird Boot Camp error that requires reformatting of my whole drive. Now I have thought up a procedure that I think will work, let me know if this is a viable option:
1: Hook up a 320GB External Firewire Drive
2: Boot up using the 10.6 DVD
3: Go into Disk Utility
4: Make an image of the Macintosh HD and save it to the External Drive
5: Format the Macintosh HD
6: Restore the Macintosh HD using the Image
If i do this, will everything be hunky dory? Nothing is wrong with this? Thanks!

Copy the content of the external to the internal--into an appropriately named folder. Then, clone your internal to the external. I would just use DU. First, use DU to partition the external GUID--which also will format it OS X extended (journaled). You might want to make two partitions if you have room (see below). To clone, go to the restore tab; select your internal volume and drag it to the source box. Then, select your external and drag it to the destination box. Then, click restore. If you can't perform the operation without previously selecting erase distination, then select it; let DU erase again; and then click restore.
In an hour, more or less, you'll be ready to take care of your internal drive issue. Piece of cake. When you have fixed the internal, then just clone you Sno install on the external back to the internal. If you made two partitions, then copy the original external data to the second partition and remove it from your Sno installs if you want.

Question about 'all images' in finder

i was wondering why when i was looking in 'all images' in the finder, there were doubles of allllll of my images?

Hi GM1941,
When using Finder>All Images, the ones that you have more than one copy of are images that you do in fact have more than one of. An image stored under the same name and possibly placed in another location from its original.
A good example would be if you downloaded all your images to a pictures folder on your desktop. From there you might copy a picture of a family member in a genealogical program and not rename it. There you have two copies.
If you opened the picture in Photoshop or some other image manipulation software and saved it in a different file format (ex: Tiff, PNG, PICT, GIF) you are again able to save it again- even to the same file- with out renaming it.
When you use the Finder to search for all images, remember that you are looking for ALL images on your computer, not just the ones in iPhoto.
The files listed under today, yesterday and last week are a "search" list of documents/files you have opened during those times, not another copy. But, they are connected to the item they represent and, if you drag them to the trash they will indeed be in the trash and can be deleted from there.
Good Luck,
John

Question about safari image files in 7.1

I am running os X 10.9.5 and safari 7.1. After I upgraded to safari 7.1 I noticed that if I open an image file into a new tab it is centered in the page. Previously they have been aligned left. Is this normal? Can I change the alignment to the left? I do not like change. Thanks in advance

I had the same complaint with Safari 7.1 (MacBook Pro 2011 / OS X 10.9.5) centering images instead of left justifying.
Yet another sacrifice of functionality for appearance.
Be forewarned, this solution is beyond my working knowledge (meaning I don't know if it's reliable or even sane).
I just Googled and poked around enough to fix the image justification issue.
NOTE: this solution causes other problems (e.g. I found Apple's support site doesn't render correctly -- minor alignment issues), so choose based on which causes you less pain. The mitigating factor is that you can toggle this on and off via Safari preferences...
The actual solution is Steps 5 & 6. Steps 1 - 4 are how I got there...
So, I
used the Developer menu to Show Web Inspector
poked around the DOM Tree until I found<img style... margin: auto ...>
tried editing it to be...margin: 0px ...
and the image was instantly left justified
Googled until I found out how to override the default CSS
created and saved a 3 line .css file (I used Terminal and vi, but I assume you can use TextEdit, too). Create the file wherever you like and name it whatever you like -- you're just going to point Safari to it, later...~/Projects/CSS/Safari7.1.Override.css
img {
margin: 0px !important;
configured Safari to use the new style sheet to override the default image marginSelect Safari / Preferences... menuSelect Advanced tabClick the Style sheet: combo box (default value is None Selected)Click Other... (to open the file chooser)
Navigate to, and select, the .css file you created in Step 5
Click Choose button
Images are now left justified.
To return to the default image justification (and allow other sites to render correctly), go back to Step 6.1.1.1 and click None Selected.
Hopefully, Apple will fix the default or someone who knows what they're doing will offer a real solution.
In the mean time this hack will kinda work. :-)
Regards,
Al

Question about displaying image with JLabel

Hi
I need to display an image. The image is determined by the user at run time, so the dimension of the image is unknown. Is it possible for JLabel to stretch the image so the whole image(instead of only part of it) will always fits into a certain dimension?
thanks.

For this you need to create a custom class that extends ImageIcon
and define the methods there.
see Java Tutorial for it.
For eg., to scale an image , you can use
JLabel label = new JLabel();
Image img = new ImageIcon("Pics/Ash.jpg").getImage();
int width = img.getWidth(null);
int height = img.getHeight(null);
//This would scale the Image by 200%
Image bimg = image.getScaledInstance(width*2, height*2, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);
label.setIcon(new ImageIcon(bimg));
//There is also another way
//Use drawImage and use BufferedImage
BufferedImage buff = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics g = buff.getGraphics();
//Scale the Image to 200%
g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, width*2, height*2, null);
lable.setIcon(new ImageIcon(buff));Hope you get the idea!!

IMovie 10.0.2 question about making images rotate gently.

I have been looking for hours, but cannot find how to make an image gently "spin" or "twist" in iMovie 10.0.2. I remember that the Ken Burns effect in iMovie 9 had this option which always made still images more interesting. Does anyone know how its done?

I don't think any version of iMovie had the ability to rotate as a feature of the Ken Burns effect.
Photo to Movie will do it.
