Rescale image according to physical measurements

Hi forumers,
im new to this forum.
i want to ask how do i rescale an image and then save it as a pdf file(easier to print)
im looking to trace this graphics on my guitar then later draw on it.
my plan is to crop out the differents parts and then resclae it to fit my guitar.then print it and trace it on.
im using windows 7 adobe photoshop CS6.
im using the quick selection tool to trim the various parts.

Hi,
There are many ways to do so, I dont know which one will suits you.
First Method
Assuming your dimensions are 2" x 6".
Open photoshop Press Ctrl + N
Name the file and select the mode to CMYK.
In resolution type 300dpi.
In Height and Width type accordingly (0.2 inches extra for cutting) after that select inches as an measurement unit.
Click OK.
Now you have the new file with exact dimensions.
now import the image make the appropriate selection which you want to use. delete rest of it.
Now press Ctrl + T for transformation. fit the image.
save it as jpeg.
take printout and see.
Second method
Open the image
Select the Crop tool
Enter the dimesions with 300 dpi and proper measurement unit.
Select the option fixed and crop it and press enter.
you will get the actual file size which you are looking for.
Plz contact if have more doubts.

Hello there.
First, you are posting at the wrong forum. This one is just for discussing the forums themselves.
And second, you are not providing sufficient information to help you. We cannot guess if you are in Mac or Win, in what form is your image, or what programs you have for doing what you want to do.
I suggest that you take a look at this article, with suggestions for finding where andhow to post:

When I create a calendar, in iphoto 8, I had an information pane lower left corner with date and time of the picture. Can it possibly be that the iphoto developers forgot about that in iphoto 9? This was very helpful when placing images according to date.

Today I updated to the latest iphoto version. The update itself went smooth and nice as one is used to from Apple. But when I wanted to finish my already started calendar, I have encountered two problems. The first is that I can't view the aperture library anymore directly from iphoto. Instead I have to open the iphtoto library in aperture but then my calendar isn't there. So now I have to copy images back and forth. No problem.
However, the old iphoto had a small information area in the lower left corner which was very nice to place images on an exact date. This seems to be gone...?? Really? How am I supposed to sort images according to date and time when I have to back to the library view every time? That's not very convenient..Or am I missing something?
Thanks for ANY help!

The first is that I can't view the aperture library anymore directly from iphoto.
THat is exceeding strange since iPhoto '08 could not open or share an Aperture library - that ability was first introduced in iPhoto '11 - with the latest version of iPhoto and or Aperture you can open the same library with either application - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5043
In the current version of iPhoto the photos are sorted by date in the film strip - I've not recently done a calendar so do not remember the specifics -

Rotate an image according orientation sensors

Hello Everybody !!
I need to rotate an image according orientation sensors.
In fact, I need when the user rotate the device to the left, the image rotate to the left (like an arrow in GPS).
This is my XAML Code :
<Canvas Canvas.ZIndex="1"
>
<StackPanel Margin="140,385,0,0">
<Image Source="ms-appx:///Assets/Icons/[email protected]"
Height="50"
x:Name="ArrowFontaine" />
</StackPanel>
</Canvas>
And my C# Code :
private Compass _compass; // Our app's compass object
// This event handler writes the current compass reading to
// the textblocks on the app's main page.
private async void ReadingChanged(object sender, CompassReadingChangedEventArgs e)
await Dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
CompassReading reading = e.Reading;
var image = new Image
Height = 50,
Width = 50,
RenderTransform = new RotateTransform()
Angle = 45,
CenterX = reading.HeadingMagneticNorth,
CenterY = (double)reading.HeadingTrueNorth,
Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/Icons/[email protected]"))
ArrowFontaine=image;
public MainPage()
this.InitializeComponent();
_compass = Compass.GetDefault(); // Get the default compass object
// Assign an event handler for the compass reading-changed event
if (_compass != null)
// Establish the report interval for all scenarios
uint minReportInterval = _compass.MinimumReportInterval;
uint reportInterval = minReportInterval > 16 ? minReportInterval : 16;
_compass.ReportInterval = reportInterval;
_compass.ReadingChanged += new TypedEventHandler<Compass, CompassReadingChangedEventArgs>(ReadingChanged);
I need the "ArrowFontaine" rotate according the device rotation to an angle of 45°.
Can you tell me where the error in my code please?
Please do not send me msdn link because most of my code from there
Thanx

Hi DiddyRennes,
>>In fact, I need when the user rotate the device to the left, the image rotate to the left (like an arrow in GPS).
I would suggest you creating RotateTransform in xaml and change the Angle from code behind:
<Canvas>
<StackPanel Canvas.Left="145" Canvas.Top="86">
<Image Source="ms-appx:///Assets/Avatar.png"
Height="100"
x:Name="ArrowFontaine" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" >
<Image.RenderTransform>
<RotateTransform x:Name="rotateTransform1" Angle="0" CenterX="0.5" CenterY="0.5"/>
</Image.RenderTransform>
</Image>
<Button Content="Action" Click="Button_Click" />
</StackPanel>
</Canvas>
private async void ReadingChanged(object sender, CompassReadingChangedEventArgs e)
await Dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
CompassReading reading = e.Reading;
rotateTransform1.Angle = reading.HeadingMagneticNorth;//Change something here

Changing a datagrid column image according to the datagrid column value

Flash Builder 4.5 / SDK 4.5.1.
Fairly new to Flash Builder & Flex
Application targets tablets so it's a "mobile" project.
Been beating my head up against the wall on trying to figure out how to do this. Watched videos on Lynda.com. Read Adobe "docs" till my eyes glaze over. Takes me about 2 lines of code in my corresponding .NET project doing the same thing.....
Tried numerous examples. Inline rendering, external rendering files per the examples.
I have a response field in the database and corresponding column in the s:datagrid. If the "reportInfoResponse" field is null (not answered), show an image with a question mark. If yes show an image with "Yes" on it. Same for a no answer.
I get errors of:
1120:Access of undefined property negativeAnswer.
1120:Access of undefined property affirmativeAnswer
1120:Access of undefined property reportInfoResponse
1120:Access of undefined property showResponseImage
If I put this in an external rendering file I also get an error where it can't access the datafield (reportInfoResponse). I've tried data.reportInfoResponse, {data.reportInfoResponse}, {reportInfoResponse} and just plain reportInfoResponse the external rendering file with no luck. I've tried single and double quotes around Y and N. According to all the examples (not to say there aren't more!), I should be able to reference data.reportInfoResponse in the external file and things should be fine. Of course, the examples are bare bones code and I don't have a clue if any importing of classes or other items need to take place. I never see any references of such. The examples also show the image embedding and changing the image by using imageID.source=... In my code it tells me it can't find it.
I have put (ERROR HERE...) on the lines where I'm getting the error messages. I've eliminated a lot of database scripting and such cause that's all working.
Any and all suggestions would be appreciated as I'm pulling out what little hair I have left.......and that's not much at my age........ And yes, I probably could do it by just show text in the column, but that's not what the customer wants... There are other columns I need to do this for so I figure if I can get 1 done and working, the rest are a snap. I CAN use inline or external rendering to show an image. It's the changing it that is the catch.........
Thanks in advance!

Ioan Thanks for the reply.
Probably my previous explanation of the problem was a little incomplete. Let me give a better description.
The situation is something like this.
I have a requirement in which the customer wants the column header to reflect the 'keep filter value' restriction that he does dynamically in the query report.
i.e:
-- usually the kf column header shows 'sales volume'
-- column header with text variable of the Calender year / month variable -- 'sales volume for 2000 oct'
-- but when the report is run, if the user wants to go and change the filter: calender year / month > rt clk > keep filer value > select Jan 2003.
The kf column header still shows 'Sales Volume 2000 Oct'
How to make the column header change to 'sales volume for Jan 2003' ?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

How to change the color of same coloured sections of an image according to the colorpicker..?

Hi.. How r u all..?
I'm doing a small program to change the color of those sections of an image which are having the same color, according to the color selected from the colorpicker..
Say we have selected a color from the colorpicker, and then the mouseclick event on the image changes the color of those parts in the image which are having the same color as the clicked portion (or pixel) to the selected color.. If we've selected FF0000 from the colorpicker, then clicked on 3300CC coloured pixel in the image. This should change the color of all the 3300CC coloured pixels in the image..
I've a colorpicker [colpickr] and a movieclip [mc] of the image on the stage. I created a bitmap of that same same image (imag1) using code. Selecting the color from the colorpicker and a mouse click on the movieclip (here I used getPixel) will change that color in the bitmap to the selected color (with setPixel). So here I've two images; one is a movieclip (inorder to add listener for click event) and one is a bitmap (inorder to set the property setPixel). But I need only a single image.
Please help me regarding this.. Given below is my (horrible) code..
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;

colpickr.selectedColor = 0xffffff;
var preLoader;
var urlReq;
var preloader_img:MovieClip;
preLoader =new Loader();
preLoader.unloadAndStop();
urlReq = new URLRequest("imag1.jpg"); // i've selected the same image as that of movieclip mc
preLoader.load(urlReq);
preLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,preLoaderComplete);
//creates a bitmap image of mc..
function preLoaderComplete(loadEvent:Event) {
    myBitmapData = new BitmapData(mc.width,mc.height);
    myBitmapData.draw(mc);
    bm = new Bitmap(myBitmapData);
    addChild(bm);
    bm.width = mc.width;
    bm.height = mc.height;
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, _onMouseClick);
//gets the color of mc and sets the color to bitmap
function _onMouseClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
    var myColor:uint = myBitmapData.getPixel(mc.mouseX,mc.mouseY);
    c = myColor.toString(16);
    for (var i=0; i<bm.width; i++) {
        for (var j=0; j<bm.height; j++) {
            if (myBitmapData.getPixel(i,j).toString(16) == c) {
                myBitmapData.setPixel(i,j,colpickr.selectedColor);

ImageObserver and rescaled image

Hi,
I got a custom JFileChooser, where the user can see image previews.
The little problem is, for large images, the rescale-method takes a few seconds to show the
image on the custom view component. How can i(in general for unscaled pictures too) show the
current status of the image(maybe during rescaling).
regards.
Olek

ok, so now I have:
public class Goomba implements java.awt.image.ImageObserver
That gives me an error that: Goomba should be declared abstract; it does not define
imageUpdate(java.awt.image, int, int, int, int, int) in Goomba
So I tried putting imageUpdate(gi, 0, pos_x, pos_y, 50, 50) .........and I still get the same error.
If this helps, heres the code in question:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.net.*;
public class Goomba implements java.awt.image.ImageObserver
     private int pos_x;
     private int pos_y;
     private int x_speed;
     private int first_x;
     private int first_y;
     private int maxspeed;
Image gi;
     private final int x_leftout = 25;
     Player player;
//calls this everytime we want a new goomba
// x is the x position
// y is the y position
// vx is the speed
// player is the player
// goomba_image is the actual image of the goomba
     public Goomba (int x, int y, int vx, Player player, Image goomba_image)
          pos_x = x;
          pos_y = y;
          first_x = x;
          first_y = y;
          x_speed = vx;
gi = goomba_image;
          this.player = player;
//--------------------cut out the rest of the code for Goomba ---------------------
     public void DrawGoomba(Graphics g)
//tried this when it gave me the imageUpdate error:
//imageUpdate(gi, 0, pos_x, first_y, 50, 50);
          g.drawImage(gi, pos_x, first_y, 50, 50, this);
}

Convert image file names to labels and resizing images according to frame. Possible??

Hi all,
I have posted this question hastily in the main mac forum but then i realized it is a scripting question so I repost here.
Q1: I have a client with 700+ images who has named the images with numbers and the caption:
eg: 1.II.34. Walking down the road towards the building.tiff
This is the name of the image file itself
Is there a way to import the name of the file (possibly without the extension) and place it as a caption under the image without copying and pasting? A script maybe?
I tried the labelgraphics script. Unfortunately it returned the extension as well. I was given a solution but did not work for me since it deleted everything after the first dot on the name. This was:
in labelgraphics on line 105, change
myLabel = myLink.name
to
myLabel = myLink.name.split('.')[0]
So how can we tackle this so it deletes everything after the LAST dot?
Q2: The image files I am given are all huge tiff files. I use the full 100% of the images but in my document they have to be much smaller . They are usually scaled down to 25-35% of the original file. So I end up with huge, unneeded documents.
Is there a script that would work together with photoshop maybe?
It would need to read the frames dimensions the image is in, open the linked file inside photoshop, resize it with a specified interpolation to maybe 110% of the frame's dimensions, set the resolution (if not set) to 300 dpi save the image as a copy (or with a suffix or prefix), leave photoshop open (for the next image to be processed), relink to the new image and go to the next image
I know it sounds a lot but I was amazed by the issues people handle in this forum and thought I would give it a try
Thank you in advance
Michael

Peter thank you so much. It works like a charm.
As for Q2, I spent some time doing research and came up with a couple of scripts that sound like they could do the trick.
a) Image Transform or Rasterize
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=1509 022#
b) Resample Project Images to 100%
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=1612 518#
Still, since I am such an ignorant I do not know which one would be the proper one.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thank you once more

Change image according to selected attribute

Hi ,
I know there is lot of forum post around.
I still haven't managed to get that sorted.
I have created a product - I have set it up and it show nice big pciture.
In attributes, I have created colors : 4 images of the same product ( diffrent color ofc )
In Site Mangeer - Module templates - Shop - Individual Product -Large
I have included
               {tag_attributes}
Which works fine ofc - So on my page i see the product - dropdown box for the colors.
next from the this page ; http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/product-inventory.html#id_12613
I use the code on the bottom of the page :
<script>
$(function(){
        var product = {tag_product_json};
        var attributes = {tag_attributes_json};
        var divId = "#catProdTd_"+product.productId;
        $(divId).find("select").change(function (){
                  var selected = $(this).val();
                  var option = attributes.options[selected];
                  if(option && option.image)
                     $(divId).find("img").attr("src", option.image);
</script>
I have inserted that in the same page as i inserted the tag_attributes
I'm not really sure what im doing wrong.
I thought it could be the, name of the images, or the code should be on top of the page/bottom.
Any suggestions?

I am interested in doing this as well. Did anyone have any suggestions?

Changing a background image according to the time of day/night...

Hello all:
I have a client who wants me to put in 2 different background image for an upcoming project, (one for morning, one for night) and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to swap background images depending on what time of the day it is. The other problem is that it has to be through the Flash Designers mode and not the back-end. (if that's even possible)
The reason being is that I have NO experience with ActionScript 3.0, (I'm only have experience with Dreamweaver, HTML, CSS etc.) so I am a complete and utter newbie in the world of Flash and ActionScript.
If anyone could help me with this problem, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Justin.

I am not sure what you are trying to differentiate between when you say "Flash Designers mode and not the back-end", or what background image you are talking about... but in any case, Flash has the Date class with a getHours() methiod (like javascript) that you can use to tell what hour of the day it is (0 thru 23) which is probably all you'd need to determine when to show which picture. If the images are in a Flash file, then you can just create a movieclip that has the images in different frames and use the getHours method to decide which frame of that movieclip to be in.

Rescale images based on largest dimension

I want to batch resize photos for web output. Ideally I'd like to set a max size based on whether they are vertical or horizontal, such as 400 high if vertical or 500 wide if horizontal (without presorting into tall and wide folders). If this is not possible, then, "reduce longest dimension to 500 pixels". How do I do this?

I have Photoshop CS (older version) and I am trying to batch resize photos for web output. Last week this function was working fine and now it won't resize anymore. File menu > automate > batch is the path I take. Can anyone tell me why "Batch" is resizing to the same size and not to 400 - 500 range???

How to measure on depth image

I am trying to measure the area of an object that has been captured by a ToF camera.
The object is the round "sausage" like object. I am wondering how I should measure on the depth image?
I also have an RGB image and originally I considered to detect the object there, and then detect the coordinates for the ROI, and then go and read the values on the depth image.
However due to poor lighting conditions that is a little difficult.
I added the VI that loads and displays this image and the file for this image (the Depth_info vi is a sub vi).
Does anyone have a lead that could nodge me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Depth_info.vi ‏24 KB

Hello,
the simplest way would be to detect the object on the texture image and extract the corresponding depth values (if your texture and depth images are aligned/calibrated). But you've got the problem with lighting conditions. Can you improve this to illuminate the object more? Can the countours of the object be extracted on the illuminated texture image?
On the other hand, you could perform some sort of segmentation on the depth image to separate the measured object from the background and then calculate the area. Can you attach the X,Y,Z information of your scene?
Best regards,

When exporting an image: Image sizing, resize to fit auto changes measurements eg 22cm becomes 22,000cm. How do I fix this?

When exporting an image in LR, any measurement entered into "Risize to fit...."automatically changes the measurement from 22cm to 22,000cm. for eg. or 33cm becomes 33,000cm.
How do I fix this?

Lr always uses three decimals for dimensions in the export dialog. So 22 cm is exactly the same as 22,000 cm.
Maybe you're used to a dot as a decimal separator, and a comma as a thousand separator? If so, it probably looks like 22 thousand cm to you.
Whether to use a dot or a comma for a decimal separator, is set in your computer's operating system.

What is the best image rsolution to use

I use Photoshop CS2 and DVDSP3. When adding images from photoshop to my project, what resolution should I use? 300dpi, 96, 72? I have used 30Odpi, converting the images to d1/DV NTSC picture aspect, yet they look pixelated and unclear. I used photos, not captured images from video. Do I still need to deinterlace?
Any suggestions

Brian
I am afraid you are completly misinformed regarding the term dpi with regard to video.
Video image resolution is measured in MegaHerts not dpi
Video frame size is measured in pixels not dpi
How is a digital video frame measured in inches, how many frames do you get to the foot?
There is no provision for a dpi measurment in the Standards for each of the worlds formats NTSC PAL or SECAM.
The term dpi (dots per inch) is only used in the printing industry not the video industry. Changing the dpi setting in Photoshop only has relevance when outputting to a physical printing device like a photosetter to make printing plates or to an inkjet printer to make a digital photoprint
Users of Photoshop see there is an entry box for dpi in the image size dialogue box and wrongly assume this controls video resolution.
To prove quickly and simply that dpi has no relevance in video try the following test:
create a new image in Photoshop with the following settings:
use the DV video frame size of 720 x 480
set resolution to 72 dpi
select the default background colour
save the file
in the image size dialogue box change the dpi setting to 7200 and save as a different file
import both the images into FCP and look at the two images
according to your thinking, the 72 dpi image will be a standard DV video image and the 7200 dpi image a very high resolution image at 100 times the first
but what do you find?
not only are both images the same file size in Kilobytes
they have exactly the same video resoluton viewed in FCP.
How can this possibly be?
Simply because video has no clue to what dpi is or means, video ignores dpi completly
Best practice; - when making images for video, use the correct frame size for the format being used and ignore the dpi setting. Life will be much less confusing thereafter
