Rotating and cropping an image.

I am taking a Photoshop for school and we are using CS5. I have CS6 and I'm stuck on my picture rotating back straight when I am trying to crop it. I use the rotate view and rotate it 6degrees. As soon as I hit the crop button the picture goes straight. How can I keep my picture rotated to the 6degrees and crop it without the perspective crop tool?

Rotate view only rotates... the view; not the actual picture. It's temporary and non-destructive. It's used to help move the canvas to a better angle for drawing brush strokes.
You want to actually rotate the image or canvas. Either Ctrl T for Free Transform and rotate by moving the cursor outside one of the corners and dragging. Or Edit > Transform > Rotate

Lightroom 3 Beta-Image Rotate and Crop Tool

Good Morning Adobe,
First of all let me say Lightroom 3 is fantastic! I do have a couple of suggestions that might make the image editing more efficient. I find that I use the image rotate and crop tools frequently and think that possibly locating these 2 features below the image in the tool bar with the loupe view/zoom fit/before and after will allow the user to edit the images more efficiantly.
I believe that this is an incredible program and can't wait to see the finished product!
I will offer more suggestions as they evolve.
Thank you Adobe! You are the BEST!
D.A.

Thank you...I discovered this answer online from another post last night and tried it. (Since I didn't re-size the thumbnails, I wasn't aware that you could do this.) After re-starting Lightroom and my computer, the crop issue corrected itself. Thank you very much for your response. It worked!

Scale and Crop with Image Alchemy

Hello,
We're using Digital Asset Managment with Image Alchemy for the conversion engine. Does anybody know how to configure a rendition set that scales and crops an image without distortion? So if you check-in a 1000x1500 pixel jpeg, it could scale it down and crop it to exactly 100x100 pixels.
I've been looking through the Image Alchemy documentation, but haven't found this example yet.
Thanks
-Jason

All you need to do is define an "ImageAlchemy" variable inside the "ImageManager_NameValues" ResultSet, DAM automatically knows when to use it for the rendition info. But instead of pointing to the ImageAlchemy executable file, I point to my script. For my conversion ResultSet's extEngine, I refer to an "ImageMagick" variable instead.

Rotate and scale an image witohout deforming it

Hello you all!
I have to rotate and scale an image, but i don't wont to deform it.
I'm thinking to something like 16/9 images on 4/3 screens (with two horizontal or vertical black lines around the scaled image)...
I thinked to transform the image in bitmap format, then create a bigger image and fill the empty spaces with zero-pixels...
Is there a simplest and more efficient way to do it with 2D java classes?
Thank you!

See reply 8 in Help to rotate image for an idea.

Is it possible to rotate and scale an image?

Is it possible to rotate and scale an image with Grapchis2D at the same time?
One method call to do it all?
lets say the original image size is 200x200
I can scale the image with
Graphics.drawImage(image, 0,0, 500,500,this);
But now i need to rotate it as well and keep the new size which is 500x500
how do i do that ?

Have you already tried the scale(double sx, double
sy) and rotate(double theta) methods of Graphics2D?no.

Running AppleScript with Adobe Acrobat to rotate and crop file.

I constantly receive PDF files from a third party service provider that I always have to ROTATE and CROP in order to fit perfectly into labels that are perforated.
The Label sheets are 8-up (2 x 4). If I print it as is, they DON'T fall where they supposed to. I can't get the trird party service provider to alter the way they supply the PDF files (they just not helpful). I thought it is still easier for me to do the neccesary adjustments.
What I want to do is:
(1) rotate the document (multi-page PDF) 180 deg
(2) crop leading edge 3mm.
(3) if possible, I want it to be able to watch a folder and do this automatically as PDFs are dropped into a defined folder (can be set permananetly) and save OVER the old file.
I know AppleScript can do this (I think), but I don't have the expertise on AppleScript to write the commands.
Can anyone help?
I am using Mountain Lion & Acrobat 8.

Thanks for the reply. I can still open the file in excel and I understand that I can redirect the file to open in another program. But it doesn't solve my problem that when I email the file to someone else it tries to open the file as a pdf (which it basically isn't) and gives the error message that its an unsupported file type. What I am really looking for is a way to stop it from saving an excel file as an adobe file even when I choose the file format as an excel workbook when I save it.

Ease of rotating and cropping images in CS6

There is much I like about the new crop: Rotating the image instead of the box is SO much easier and the straighten option is a great time saver.
But in one instance, I'm finding cropping in CS6 to be harder: Cropping images that are not correctly oriented in the first place. Rotating an image 90-degrees was a snap in CS2: Alt-I/E/0. The shortcut keys are gone in CS6, so using the rotation command is no longer quick.
But I can do it in the crop box, right? True -- but not easily. The image is landscape, the crop box is portrait. With the crop tool selected, holding the shift key down to get fixed-increment rotations doesn't work: Pressing the SHIFT key changes the cursor from rotation to the crop cursor. To get the rotation, I have to start rotating the image and then press SHIFT to get 15-degree increments. A few moments later, I have rotated the image into portrait orientation -- and the crop box is now centered on the image, but it is set to crop the middle. I have to drag the handles out to get approximately what I want: The full image in the crop box. (What I want is what I would get if I rotate the image with the Rotate command, then control-zero to fill the screen, and then select the crop tool.)
We rotate a lot of images. It's easy to do in CS2 and the two approaches I've found for CS6 are both awkward. The new crop tool has replaced the dual arrows in older versions (to swap the horizontal and vertical sizes) with a rotation arrow. I think you should restore the arrows (and their function) -- then use the rotate button to rotate the image, not the crop box. (Isn't that the design center for the new crop box? We're moving the image, not the crop box.)

Howard, thanks for the tip about the X key; didn't realize it worked that way when the crop tool is active. But in this case I had set the crop box dimenions, so the crop box starts out with the correct orientation. Having played with this for a day, I conclude that the best approach for this task is to restore the old keyboard conventions for image rotation and rotate the image before launching the crop tool.
I stand by my observation that the rotate key should affect the image, not the crop box because that is consistent with the new cropping paradigm: We rotate the image, not the crop box. I realize making a change this late in the development cycle is awkward -- but if CS6 ships with this behavior, it will become even harder to change later -- and the user interface should be as consistent as possible.
Noel, you are correct: The images are coming from scanned film. All frames get scanned with the same orientation. I want to avoid the "Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this. Doctor: Then don't do that!" scenario. Granted: If images are "correctly" oriented, this issue doesn't arise. But not all images are oriented correctly and CS6 should be at least as graceful in handling the task as previous versions.

How can I view then rotate or crop duplicate images

My wife has a large photo collection (50,000+ images) and has created a copy of a hundred or so pictures to include in a video I'm working on.
The problem is that I can't get Elements Organizer to display these images because they are "duplicate images".
I had to switch to "Display | Folder Location" mode to even find the directory. When I did I noticed the 10 subdirectories had not been imported, so I tried to import them and got this error:
Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in this Catalog.
I realize that they are duplicates but I WANT to see them so that I can edit them (crop, rotate, etc).
(Q) Is there a way to get Elements to "jump" me to the original photo so that I can rotate or crop the "original". NOTE: I would use the Version Set feature or save my edits as a "new image" altogether. I think if this worked, I could create an "Album" that has the "duplicate" photo's my wife has given to me and achieve what I need to do.
I'm brand new to Elements (previously I used ACDSee and it could do this without any hassle). I've heard and read that Elements 9's Organizer is much improved so I wanted to give it a try.
(Q) Does Elements have a simple checkbox to allow me to work with duplicate images?
(Q) Is the solution to create another catalog? I've done this to work around this problem (for now).
Also
(Q) Does Elements 9, have a way to show all of the images in all of the folders underneath a given folder? I found that if I have a directory that contains 10 sub-directories, when I'm in the top-level directory no images are shown. In ACDSee, it would show me all of the images under a given directory including all of the sub-directories. Is this possible to do in Adobe Elements 9?
Thanks for any help.

The organizer is not a browser, it is a database : even if it can show photos in your folders structure, it only works on the files wich have been 'imported' and registered in the catalog. It can show your registered pictures displayed according to the real folder structure based on the paths registered with each present file, but you'll have problems if some upper level folder is empty.
On the other hand, the items registered in a catalogue can't be duplicates, and the Organizer prevents duplicates to be registered. There is no simple one click way to override this constraint, which would mean a different database 'key', that is to rename the duplicates you want to register.
Practical way : since you have to rename the duplicates before importing them, you could do this directly in Windows or any other freeware like Faststone photoresizer.
Or you could open those pictures directly from the editor, browsing in your folder structure.
Imagine you have duplicates in a folder and want to rename them and import them using only PSE :
- From the editor, use the 'process multiple files' to export the files from this folder and rename them, for instance 'IMG_0012.jpg' + 'dupl' stating the same destination folder
- Try again to 'get files and videos' from the organizer.

Automatically zoom and crop an image to fit in a square

I've got an mx:Image which is loading an image from the web. I don't know how big the image will be in advance. I'd like the loaded image to fit within the mx:Image's square frame by zooming and cropping off the sides or top/bottom as needed. In other words, if the image frame is 64x64 and the loaded image is 70x64, it will be centered and lose a few pixels on the right and left sides. Is it possible to do automatically? I've played with maintainAspectRatio and scaleContent but I haven't been able to get what I want.

In an ideal world we would use a high resolution version with a 100% width set for every device (and screen size). Because of bandwidth reasons, the page should load only a version of the image intended for a specific width range.
Sometime in the future we will (probably) be able to use this:
<picture width="500" height="500">
 <source media="(min-width: 45em)" src="large.jpg">
 <source media="(min-width: 18em)" src="med.jpg">
 <source src="small.jpg">
 <img src="small.jpg" alt="">
 Accessible text
</picture>
However, this will not yet work. Therefore, ideally, a polyfill picturefill method that works quite well can alternatively be used:
https://github.com/scottjehl/picturefill
Solution:
Call the picturefill.js (see above url for more information and sample code)
body:

 
 
 
 
 
 <noscript>
 <img src="external/imgs/small.jpg" alt="A giant stone face at The Bayon temple in Angkor Thom, Cambodia">
 </noscript>
 
This works in all browsers and devices. On a mobile platform only the lower resolution image will be loaded up.

CS3 rotating and cropping video

Hi there
Please can someone help me? I have a video sequence that I need to rotate and then export as a MPEG file. I have managed to rotate it and crop it, however I still have large black margins. I want to show this video in a powerpoint presentation and I cannot get rid of the black margins at all. I am going crazy!!
Thanks
Dylan

[Due to a forum error during moderator editing, Harm's reply was lost. Here is the text of his reply, edited for content.]
Export dimensions are 323 x 480 pixels
followed by:
NTSC, 352x240, 29.97 non-drop frame [FPS], progressive, quality 5

How can i rotate and crop a lot of images (tiff) automatically?

I have over 5000 images scanned.
How can i tranform this image
in this image?

Rotating and Cropping Question ??

Sometimes I have to straighten up a photo by rotating it like .1 degrees, and then when I try to crop the little sliver off the side it is a pain to get the crop marks just right. I there an easy way to crop out the new image while keeping as much of it as possible?
I hope this makes sense.
Thank you.
Dan

what Buko says,
but you can crop+rotate+change resolution up-sampling (adding more pixels) with no problem.
But crop+rotate+change resolution down-sampling (reducing the number of pixels) you can get some pretty bad image distortion.

Rotate and crop

I'm trying to straighten out some footage. I used the rotate tool in the "motion" tab to turn the image so it's straight. Now I assume I can use the crop tool to reframe the image, removing unwanted black areas. How do I do that?
John

John,
Now you use the scale parameter to zoom in slightly in order to get rid of the black areas.

Rotate and save an image

Hi All,
I am a new comer. Could I ask you a question about java 2D? I want to rotate an image and then save it as another file, but now I don't know how to make the rotated iamge as a new one so that I can save it. Could you give me some ideas?
Thanks,

look up the Affine Transforms or use JAI.
