Reading in layers of image
Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to read in an image's different layers. I would like to add a layer which has a blackground, and merge it with another image, and save it. At some point, I would like to remove the black background layer so that the orignal image would be left intact. Is this possible?
Many thanks,
You're going to have to be a bit more specific than that, when you have a java image there aren't any layers. So what type of layering are you suggesting?

Reading .psd layers under OS X 10.7. in 64-bit app
Hi,
I have an application that reads .psd layers content using old QT API (such a GraphicsImportSetImageIndex, GraphicsImportGetDataOffsetAndSize, OpenADefaultComponent etc.).
I need to implement my code to 64-bit application under OSX 10.7. Lion and because old QT API is still 32-bit only I can't use the mentioned API to get layers and images from .psd.
Could anybody advice how to replace old QT API on Lion ? Or, how to get images from .psd file other way than using old QT API.
Thank you.

I am trying to import scanned illustrations into Final Cut Pro (6) as layered photoshop images, however when I try and animate the image is blurred.....please help! Will I need to create the photoshop files as a certain size/resolution? I am working to 4:3.....
You should take your question to the Final Cut Studio forum. This is FCPX.

Treating layered Photoshop Images as one item
I want to scale and change the position of a layered Photoshop image, but if I double-click it to try to get to the motion tab, it opens as a separate sequence. This allows me to position and scale individual layers, but I want to move/scale the whole photoshop image and have the layers stay all together.
Is there a way to do that?Ah, I knew it had to be simple. Thanks.
My intension was to get a Photoshop image with vector layers so I could zoom way in to a tiny dot on the image until the dot took over the entire screen. But I realized that when you bring such an image into Final Cut Pro it rasterizes it at the DPI of the image.
I tried boosting the DPI up to like 10,000 and that works fine in Photoshop (because it's just vectors), but in FCP it obviously is going to rasterize it resulting in a hang because the image is WAY too big. It would be like a few gigabytes rasterized.
I probably need some other program to accomplish that effect. -
Photoshop freezes when using Auto-Blend Layers - Stack Images
I used to have CS5 on my computer, after which I used the CS6 trial, and I never had any problems when stacking images using Auto-Blend Layers -> Stack Images. However, I recently purchased a subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud and after uninstalling the old PS versions and installing Cloud, Photoshop freezes every time I try to stack images.
My computer has very good specs, runs Windows 7, and both the OS and PS are up to date.
Why is PS freezing? What can I do to fix the problem?Sure, here you go:

The Time Machine is not completing thte backup to my Time Capsule. I am receiving a message which reads "The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Mac Jet's iMAC.sparsebundle" is already in use." I cannot locate the source of the problem or what steps need to be taken to get the Time Capsule operating.
Hi, see if it shows here...
In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
If it does contain data...

Adobe Reader could not open 'images rest 12-4.jpg' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
that is the message how do i correct this problemIt sounds like your file associations are messed up and Reader is trying to open your .jpg files. Is this correct?
If so, you just need to change the associations to choose what application opens them. Here's how: Change File Associations in Mac OS X -
My SD card reader won't import images from the SD card. I purchased this product 10 months ago and have had no problem with it up to now. How do I remedy this problem. Using the product allows me to travel without a laptop ...Please help!
Have you tried to give your device a reset? Sometimes that helps with glitches. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
ALso, the card reader will only see files that are formatted correctly. If you just took the images from your computer and put them onto the card, then it won't work. They have to follow a strict naming convention. There has to be a folder named DCIM on the card and then all those images have to have a file name of exactly 8 characters, DSC_3857 for example. Your camera makes this naming structure but if you manually put the photos on that card you may not have replicated it.
Is this a card you've used before? If it's a new card and is empty then the iPad won't read it. Also if it's SDXC it won't read those either (XC cards use a file structure that the iPad can't decipher) -

I use OS X server for maintaing Time Machine backups for several macs
Ah, that's a new wrinkle to me. I haven't tested the Server product, but there are a number of differences. As far as I can tell, the firmware update solved this for most, but not all, users of standard OSX.
Are you still on Snow Leopard server? It's quite different from later versions, I understand.
Have you tried selecting the base station, then Base Station > Restart via Aiport Utility's menubar? That still disconnects everyone, but might work by itself.
Otherwise, sorry, but I'm out of my comfort zone.
Hopefully one of the networking gurus will have an idea or two. -
Read the content repository images
Dear All,
How can i read the content repository images. I have uploaded the image and assigned the image for the employee.I have used the Web dynpro ABAP for attaching the interactive form. Now my request is to download the images from the content server to the interactive form i.e. when the manager is trying to look his page, he needs to see his image in the Interactive form when others their corresponding image is need to be shown. how can i do that?
Thanks
YogeshThere is a particular case with sugested function, if content is generated on the fly by the server -php, cgi, etc.-
In this case, http server doesn´t knows total size of response data, so response shows a chunked transfer-encoding header and data is parted in chunks, each one starting with it´s size, and following the data.

I´m using this function to decode parted response, with initial chunkedString with firs chunk size; in this case, f49:
PartsSeparator="\r\n";
function getPartedBody(partedBodyString) {
var separatorPosition=partedBodyString.indexOf(PartsSeparator);
var chunkSize=new Number("0x"+partedBodyString.substring(0,separatorPosition));
separatorPosition+=PartsSeparator.length;
var bodyString=new String("BINARY");
bodyString="";
if (chunkSize>0)
bodyString=partedBodyString.substring(separatorPosition,separatorPosition+chunkSize)+
getChunkedResponse(partedBodyString.substring(separatorPosition+chunkSize+PartsSeparator. length));
return bodyString;
Hope this helps

Layered photoshop image is not becoming a sequence
This has me tearing my hair out. I created a layered photoshop image (PS CS2) and when I import it into FCP5 it does not become a sequence. Both layers are the same size and are a "now and then" image of the same site.
Help!
Thank you
AnnSorry if these sound like simplistic questions, but I've seen it happen; Are you flattening or merging the layers in Photoshop before saving? Was the image created in a Windows version of PS? When in FCP's Timeline, what happens when you double-click on the PSD clip?

Problems with adjustment layers in image
I've been working with an image with about a half dozen layers. Some of these are Curves adjustment layers, I've also added a layer, using Soft Light mode, and then paint either in black or white to dodge and burn the image. At some point, when I started painting in this layer, or in the masks of the adjusment layers, instead of seeing my results in the image, I'm see red brush strokes being added to the image. It looks like the red you get when you toggle the "\" key and you're seeing what's in the layer and the masks in rubylith.
Also, when I select a layer, it turns light gray, not blue, as with other images.
What is wrong here?
DavidOkay, I don't know what the problem was, but I fixed it by going into Channels, deleting the 'Mask' channel, then adding back a mask to the Curves adjustment layer.
All is well, but I'm still curious as to what happened.

When have multiple layers, move images and text all starting from background layer
Greetings
I have an image that has some 24 layers, many of these are text. When trying to move the images and text all on the same layer yesterday, I ran into problems, but eventually fixed by moving these items starting from the background layer, by using Ctrl\Move.
This worked so well that I thought I would show my fellow learners at our regular Friday session on Elements 11 at SeniorNet. However when I went to show them I could move easily and freely on the background layer - without using Ctrl, just the move tool. Elements simply moved very quickly from the background layer to the relevent layer with the image or text (as before ?).
Cannot understand why I could not do that in the first place at home, but I had lots of tries there. What circumstances could have been different ?Did you have "Auto Select Layers" ticked on the tool's option bar?
It is not clear to me what the ultimate goal of your demonstration is. You can combine the 24 layers into one layer (referred to as stamp visible layer) without flattening the layer structure. To do this, do the following:
Open a blank layer at the top of the stack of layers in the layers palette
Press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E on the keyboard
You can work on this stamp visible layer. The layers below will not be impacted. If you don't like what you have done, simply delete the stamp visible layer, then start over. -
New to design centering layers and images?
Making my first webpage. LOL I know I am way behind the times. I understand that I should make a layer the size of the page and put other layers into them. Ok so I am trying but I dont know how I can center layersso that they are seen in the middle of the page. Or images the same way. Anyone help me with that?
I know I am way behind the times. I understand that I should make a layer the size of the page and put other layers into them.
It doesn't matter being way behind the times, but whoever gave you that information was totally off the wall. Layers (or absolutely positioned divs) are totally the wrong approach, particularly if this is your first effort at web design. Please read the following article about web page layout and the problem with "layers". -
Z-index layering moving images
Hi,
I am hoping someone can help me out! Basically I have an application to build that has a frame image (img1) with a transparent centre, an image (img2) within that centre area and another image (img3), the same size as img2, that hides in behind img2.
When a button is clicked, img2 will move up and reveal img3. When the button is clicked again img2 moves back down and covers over img3 again.
The problem is to do with the layering of the images. I want img2 to always lay over img3 so that when it is back down img3 is completely hidden. I am able to do all of this up to this point. The problem lies is that when img2 is moving up, I want it to move up in behind the top of the outer frame (img1), but all I can get is the image moving up over the top of the frame and not slotting in behind it.
I hope I have explained this clearly! Not so easy!
I tried the WipeUp effect, which was close to what I want, but the image winds up with the top of the image remaining until the last moment before it disappears. I want the image to roll all the way the way a window blind would so that you would always see the bottom of the image until it reached the top.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to do this?
Thank you so much in advance!Would be great if someone from Adobe was on here yes!
I will give your suggestion a try later today, but I have a feeling that when I 'move' img2 up it somehow changes it's z-index. I also give the user the option to change the frame to a different style. Even though it stays staic on the screen (has no effects - all I do is change the source of the image), I think that changing the source of it also changes its z-index and brings it to the front.
Very frustrating. I'll let you know how I get on with your suggestion later - thanks for taking the time in trying to help me.
