Rotating image without duplicating background?

Hello,
is it possible in CS5 to rotate an image (without scaling the image dimension ) without duplicating the background layer to rotate this layer?
Carlos

I am assuming that when you open your photo in CS5 that the layer is automatically locked?
If yes, then you can right click that layer and there is an option at the top called "Layer From Background...".
This unlocks that layer without having to duplicate it.
To rotate an image without changing dimensions of the actual photo? When you rotate an image the width and the height dimensions are switch depending on how you rotate.
Under Edit>>Transform, you will get 4 different options to rotate.
The rotate at the top is to manually rotate the image. The other rotates are presets which might be what your after.

Saving a image without a background

I did the tutorial on Removing Image Backgrounds with
Fireworks. That works great, but I don't know how to save a image
without a background. I am trying to save it for a website. I have
Fireworks 8.0. I tried to save it as a Alpha Transparency GIF file
, but the image is poor. I don't know the correct way of saving
this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Official JPEG specs does not allow any transparency at all,
so save your
time and quit trying it. GIF only support limited colors (up
to 256), one
of that can be assigned as "transparent". So when FW exports
GIF from a
source file that have any partial transparency, it "premixes"
any partial
transparent color of source with "matte" color. In case the
latter
correspond to average color of your page background, and your
page
background is not too wild and colorful, and you are not
using too wide
partially transparent stuff, it normally work well.
Among the image formats common on the Web, only PNG provides
true partial
transparency. Alas, IE still does not correctly understand
that part of
PNG specs that was set years ago. So if you definitely
positevely can't
live without transparency things that are available in GIFs,
PNG plus
specific CSS and\or Javascript trics is the only way to go.
However, I'd
personally make sure I can't live with old limited GIFs
before going that
way.

Saving rotated image without background

Ok I need help....I have rotated an image 20 degrees and would like to save it as a rotated image but whenever I do there is a white background around the image. Look at the image below, I rotated it 20 degrees but when I saved it, it saved with the white background. How can I save the rotated image but without the white background????
(I changed the color so you could see the background)

If your working with one layer (locked background layer), double click
on the layer thumbnail in the layers panel to make it a new unlocked layer.
Then when you rotate the photo, the background should be transparent.
Also to maintain transparency, save in another format other than jpeg, such
as psd, tif, png-24.

How to Create an image without a background?

Hi,
So I've been learning the ropes of photoshop all week and I started and am almost finished with my first project.
I created a cutout and I want to make a sticker out of it, but I'm not sure how to save it without the white background.
Here's what it looks like to get a better idea of what I'm asking, I want the player to just be on his own on a sticker, like a cutout.

You need to save your document that has transparency in an image file format that supports transparency. If you want to use the image on the web it needs to be an image file format that browsers supports. That means PGN or GIF format. GIF only supports 255 mapped colors when there is transparency. And the Transparency is complete no partial transparency. PNG supports 8 or 16 bit color and transparency. You should use sRGB color space for only some browsers use color management the rest assume images are sRGB. Gif file sizes are smaller the PNG files.

How do I save/export an image without a background when using Adobe draw on iPad?

Hi :-)
brand new new to adobe draw... Using on an iPad... How do I export/save an image so that it has no background?

The solution is the following:
- by default the first drawing layer is white... and will remain so... you have to turn the opacity of this white layer to zero by pushing the white button on the left,
- then use any of the remaining 9 layers for your drawings,
- export to adobe Creative Cloud or Illustrator (not as JPEG) and you have you picture with a transparent background...
Hope this helps..

How to make a button remain still while on top of a rotating image?

I've tried making an interactive menu that has a rotating image in the background and some buttons on top of that background. The background itself is in a JPanel and the button is added directly on that JPanel since the Panel occupies the entire frame. Now, the problem is that the button spins along with the rotated graphics X_X. So...any ideas?

OCR without rotating image

In Acrobat 9 I can't find any setting to disable image automatic rotating of recognized documments by OCR.
I have usually very exact position of originals and I don't need this teature.
Besides, after this rotating by 0,0... degrees, Acrobat ruins image and add some linear deformates.
Please, help me how to make OCR without rotate image.

How to mark (psd) Images with the Circle Symbol without duplicating them

I would like to import my layered images in Aperture.
The problem is i would like to further adjust them in photoshop cs3 without creating a duplicate.
Is there a possibility to mark this images with the Circle Symbol (for edited with external editor) or do I really have to open each image than close again, delete the master and then the remaining image with the circle can be opened and further enhanced in Photoshop without duplicating the image.
Another example:
I like to open a psd file within aperture with: edit with Adobe Photoshop CS3.
The Image should open without being duplicated. Then I could drag the layer into another PSD document and close it again.
Right now I would end up with a Master Duplicate which I have to delete afterwards.
I know I could use referenced files and say show in finder but I like managed better,
also:
Show in finder does show you only one image (I like to do that to 5 or 10 images at once).
bc

Like I said if you want to get into the programming business you can modify the aperture database directly but I don't know of an easier way with managed masters. You can always just do your workaround to files that you are actually working on and you only need to do it once.
Sorry there is no answer to easier answer to deal with all of them at the same time. At least none I can think of off the top of my head.
RB
Ps. Lightroom can just open your PSD files but that is an apples and oranges thing. Lightroom is not trying to manage your masters for you in a managed library an ensure that nothing modifies them, if you are ok with that method than referenced files should be ok with you as well, you can always use referenced for your legacy PSDs and use a managed methodology for your new images going forward starting with the source image.

I have a Flash Sample to rotate images and text but I not find a way to display special characters

Hello everyone.
I bought a very nice Flash application that rotate images, and text of any color and size. It use an XML input file.
I've posted here, a complete copy, so any of you can download, view and use it freely.
I would appreciate if any of you know how to do, so that the text displayed, including the characters I use in my language (Spanish), such as á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ, and other special characters.
In fact, I could not find a way to do it, because I'm not expert Flash, and less in ActionScript.
If any of you would help me on that, I thank you implement the appropriate adjustments and compressed into a. zip file, and let me know where to download it, or if you prefer you can send it to my email: [email protected]
After all compressed in .zip format is a very small file: 430K.
Click here to download the complete sample.
Thanks.

Hello Rinus,
If I understood your last post correctly, then problem 2 is resolved, right?
Regarding problem 3:
I'm not asking you to share exact VIs.
I just want to see a very simple VI that explains the concept of what you're trying to do, what should happen (this can be in words that refer to the front panel elements) and what you've tried.
The terminology you're using isn't clear to me without an extra explanation.
This could even be only a Front Panel with a few buttons on where you just describe what should happen with specific controls/indicators.
Based on the first post it is not clear to me what you mean with:
- A "button element":
Are you talking about a control, an indicator, a cluster that contains multiple control?
- The structure:
Is this an event structure, case structure, for loop, ...?
Is it seems like you want to programmatically control Front Panel objects, which on itself is no problem at all independent of how many objects you want to control.
Please share with me simple example of what goes wrong and explain which things should happen on that specific Front Panel.
This will allow me to help you and also allow me to guide you along the right path.

Is it possible to add a blur filter to a transparent layer without any background?

I want to have a Blur Oval Vignette feathered on the inside on a transparent background to use as a template. So then I could open an image, then open the template on top of the background image and would automatically have a Blur Vignette image without having to create it from scratch each time.

LR rotates images as they were at the upload

Hi everybody
I went back to a folder I haven't been looking for about 3-4 months. After I located the folder from the external disk all the images opened, with my surprise, without the rotation I have set at the time so I had to to do it all again. Usually LR should retain the settings you apply to images, with no time limitation. So what happened in this case?
p.s. it's even worse: LR is opening the images, in Grid View, initially with the rotation I set after the first opening but as I scroll down, always in Grid View, the images showed in the screen are rotated back as they were at the upload.
Then I scroll down a bit more, images that were out of view are showed with the correct rotation and after a while they start rotating as they were at upload .....what the hell is going on???

I think the key is when you said you have not viewed these pictures in 3-4 months. Therefore LR deleted its previews and the effect you are seeing is LR re-making them. If it does not have a preview in its cache it tries to be quick by showing you the JPG preview in the image file. That's as the camera recorded it. The it makes a preview from the image data, and finally applies the editing steps either from the catalog or the XMP information in the file.
So if you give LR the time to do all that it should give you the pictures as you last had them in LR.
I just went back to some pictures from February in my catalog and LR did recall the image orientations.
BUT - I am also confused. I did a test and rotated a picture in LR. That rotation did not appear in the History panel. That surprised me, because LR does remember any rotations applied. I don't know where.
Another factor may be that many cameras record the orientation in the EXIF. Thus my Canon DSLR rotates images correctly on the LCD display whereas my Nikon Coolpix P6000 does not. This could be part of your issue:- the camera's notion of orientation vs. LR's.
So this is only a partial answer but I hope it helps.

Rotating text without embedding fonts - how?

No doubt same or similar question was asked and most likely answered but I could not
find anything that would match...
I want to draw column headers of my ADG vertically. So, I need rotate column text 90 degree
and adjust position.
Is it true that it can be achieved with embedded font only? If it is true how can it be done for
Unicode code, which includes ranges for Japanese, Chinese, etc characters. The size of
swf is going to be huge. Several sites like this
http://www.forestandthetrees.com/2009/06/29/rotating-text-without-embedding-fonts/
claims that they have a solution for the problem without embedding fonts.
Note: I am still using Flex 3.3 SDK with no TLF. By the way, do TLF libraries work with
3.3 SDK.?
Thanks in advance

Draw your text onto a bitmap image (or take an ImageSnapshot of a Label), then rotate the image.

Rotated images in inDesign

I have used CS6 on my Mac (10.6.8) to create a 240 page book with several images on most pages. Some of these have been rotated by about 20 degrees or so for effect, and are fine when viewed on inDesign. However, when exported to pdf in high quality mode a grey (un-rotated) box appears around each of the rotated images. It's faint but it is there. I did try rotating in Photoshop first and then creating a clipping path, which I have done for other images but this appears compromised by the rotation also. Grouping a number of images before rotating, as I have done on the cover, also seems to cause a particular problem, with the crop then coming in at an angle also. Even if you then ungroup these, the program seems to remember they were grouped before and still refuses to do a vertical crop, though it behaves ok with the rotated image before it is grouped. Drop Shadows on the title text appear VERY dull on my screen when viewed in the high-quality pdf mode also, though a friend viewing the same file on his computer does not get this effect. I think I can work round most of these, but the grey boxes are a real issue.
Thanks
Les Brown

Hi Peter
interesting. I was just clicking on the file, so I think it was Apple preview. However, if I select Acrobat 10.1.1 the image looks good against a white background (my main problem.) Does this mean the file is OK to send for printing in this form? I note that for the cover image (blue background) the drop shadows are still very dull and there is still a slight colour issue with the rotated image.
Thanks
Les

Big Problem: Missing Images and Duplicated Images

I had thought that this was some kind of web gallery problem, but now it's clear that this affects all of Aperture (on my system).
If I select a few images (in this case from a smart album), and then create a new:
* web gallery
* album
* etc
...from that selection, the new gallery, album or whatever appears, but withOUT the images in the browswer! Oddly, the album does show that the appropriate NUMBER of images are in that album (from the panel on the far left). In other words, an album is created, a number of images are listed as being IN that album, but the images aren't showing up in the album, at all.
Further, the images actually become DUPLICATED in the smart album that was the source.
Here is the strange bit: If I select a large number of images from that smart album, some of the images DO appear in the NEW album or gallery or whatever. But many DON'T. And all images are duplicated in the source album.
I've restarted the Mac, rebuilt the Aperture database. Problem persists.
Anyone have any idea what's going on? Do You have this problem?
rick

I have seen a similar problem when creating a smart album. I have also had a similar problem with images disappearing. See this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=301318&tstart=30
I still have not found a solution and the Apple techs are no help.
