Rubber Stamp Effect

Hey guys,
I am trying to create a rubber stamp effect over a jpg by using the following steps:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/479931?
When I Live Trace the below image "A" it doesn't look like the original and changes into image "B".
Also, I cannot seem to extract the white from the picture after I have Live Traced it?
Can anyone help?

How do I create a Rubber Stamp effect?

If you are familiar with the font "Ink Pad", this is the effect I want to use on an object. It has the real rough looking edges of a rubber stamp. How can I create this effect with Illustrator?

Hello Kelly,
Here is a method that I use:
First place a photo of a wall or floor and use "Live Trace" default
You will end up with a black and white texture like this:
Then Select all the white areas and delete them. If you have a lot of black texture, feel free to delete as much as you want. You can always copy and paste pieces wherever you want.
Now Place your design on top of the texture you have created. Then send the design to the back.
The last step is to select the outlined text and the compound shapes and apply "Subtract From Shape Area" with Pathfinder. Please note that this option does not work on CS3 from the menu (one of the hundred of bugs of this lousy version), so please use the Pathfinder Window.
And this is the end result:
This was a quick sample, but I am sure you can do something a lot better than this sample. I think the difficult part is to get a good photo. Maybe next time I will use a damaged concrete floor or wall photo.
I hope this helps!

How does one apply adjustments such as Rubber Stamp and Sharpening to Video in Photoshop CS6?

I'm trying to apply a rubber stamp to my entire clip but it will only last one frame.
Same if I sharpen.
I though I was supposed to convert the layer to a Smart Object but once I do that I can no longer use the Rubber Stamp.
And if I Rasterize the layer, the video will no longer play at all and remain stuck on one frame.
I'm sure there is something simple I'm missing here. I see in After Effects, they are all Keyframeable but can't figure this out in PS.

Seems like converting the layer to a Smart Object sort of works but once I do I can't play the footage

Need help creating "rubber stamp" logo

I would like to create what should look like a rubber stamp, to place inside an Indesign document. Something like this (drawn very roughly in Photoshop):
However, although I have Illustrator CS4 (Macintosh version) I've never used it and could need some pointers. I use Photoshop a lot however, so if it's remotely similar it may not be that hard. Basically I want to know:
- how to create two circles, one inside the other aligned perfectly
- how to place text in between the two circles, following the curves
- how to place text in the middle circle
- how to make the whole logo "worn" as in "not evenly filled with ink", just like a real rubber stamp would look like on paper.
If the latter isn't possible in Illustrator I can easily do it in Photoshop when bitmapped, but if I could create everything in vector graphics the advantage would be a resizeable logo without any loss.

Thanks for all the suggestions and help!
I've now managed to create my "rubber stamp", but couldn't figure out how to get the "worn" effect.
The link posted above is one solution of course (haven't tried it, but understand the principle), however I personally don't think that makes it look realistic enough. So I exported the image into Photoshop, added a mask and painted through with very low opacity to let the background through here and there in varying densities.
That took care of the uneven ink and worn/damaged sections of the rubber stamp.
But upon importing the Photoshop file into my Indesign document I found out that my rubber stamp is a little too small, so now I need to import the Illustrator file into Photoshop again, resize it a little bigger, then apply the mask/editing again from scratch
I guess there's a better way to do this, only I haven't found out how yet. Suggestions?

Creating a "stamped" effect

There is an effect that I am trying to accomplish, so far all my attempts to create this clip have not turned out the way I wanted.
First I will explain the effect I am looking for, and then I will explain how I tried to accomplish it.
In the scene I have a character singing on stage. At one point I will freeze frame the image and a title will “stamp” on the video with a very quick earthquake shake effect.
I created a freeze frame and also the Image I want to be stamped on the video. I started with the Image very large and within a few frames I key framed it to the size and location I needed it. For the shake earthquake effect I am having trouble reaching the desired effect. I tried a slight up and down key frame movement on the video side. But it was not the effect I was looking for.
How would you create this scene? What filters or transitions would you use if any?
Any tips or ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you

This shouldn't be that hard to do but I'd do it in a separate sequence so you can either nest it or render it and reimport it.
Deconstruct the real world activity of stamping. A hand holding a large rubber stamp arcs down and slams onto a piece of paper on a table. The impact is in the direction of the energy imparted by the motion of the stamp. If your stamped title is zooming into the shot form behind the camera, the scene will, in reality, be thrust away from the camera. A slight reduction in scale. you can't do that unless you slowly add a bit of scaling to the shot before the freeze.
Linear movement will take place over about 15 frames. You will need, say, three randomly placed keyframes, one for a change in the X axis, 2 for changes in the Y. This makes a total of five keyframes because you will need the start and stop positions.
You'll need a lot of motion blur to sell an earthquake effect.
That's where you start.
As noted earlier, there are earthquake filters, some are free..

Why can I not find the Rubber Stamp icon in Fireworks 8

Using Fireworks 8:
ok - fairly new to all this - but I am trying to clone pixels and am looking for the rubber stamp icon. My "Bitmap" menu has marquee, lasso, magic wand, brush, pencil, eraser, burn & red eye icons on it, and under "Assets" (under Image Editing tab) in the other toolbar I have red eye, crop, scale, blur, sharpen, dodge and burn icons. No rubber stamp icon to be found. I am trying to edit a .jpg file (photo). I have read that it only works on bitmap files so I have saved it as a .bmp but still no luck finding the rubber stamp icon. Where am I going wrong please?!
Many thanks

Panic not... it has only taken me all afternoon but there must have been a error as I have just reloaded the app and holding the mouse button down now produces a menu of options on the bitmap menu, so the user can toggles from one to the other.

Image Pan _ Rubber band effect

I am trying to make the black square do the rubber band
effect while the image pans left to right with mouse movement
Each code works seperatly but when i put them together they
do not work
here is layer 1 the code for the image pan
this.onMouseMove = function() {
constrainedMove(bg_mc, 4, 1);
function constrainedMove(target:MovieClip, speed:Number,
dir:Number) {
var mousePercent:Number = _xmouse/Stage.width;
var mSpeed:Number;
if (dir == 1) {
mSpeed = 1-mousePercent;
} else { mSpeed = mousePercent;
target.destX =
Math.round(-((target._width-Stage.width)*mSpeed));
target.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (target._x == target.destX) {
delete target.onEnterFrame;
} else if (target._x>target.destX) {
target._x -=
Math.ceil((target._x-target.destX)*(speed/100));
} else if (target._x<target.destX) {
target._x +=
Math.ceil((target.destX-target._x)*(speed/100));
here is the code for the movieclip on layer 2
MovieClip.prototype.move = function (centerx, centery,
inertia, k) { x = -this._x+centerx;y = -this._y+centery;xp =
xp*inertia+x*k;yp = yp*inertia+y*k;_x += xp;_y += yp;};
now the code for the actual squarebox
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this.move(x=247.5, y=300, 0.80, 0.1);

Add rubber stamp on same document

Hello,
In the previous versions of Adobe Acrobat I was able to use the rubber stamp on the same document by just choosing the stamp once and clicking on the different parts of the document repeatedly.
With Acrobat XI I have to keep going back up to the menu, click on the rubber stamp, choose the stamp, and click on my document over and over again.
Is there a setting to allow me to do this on the current version?

Right-click the tool and tick the "Keep Tool Selected" option.

Using a component as a rubber stamp

I need to do something similar to what JTables, JLists, JComboBoxes, and JTrees do to render their individual elements. From what I understand, to save memory, they have one component which they then set whatever value on, use the component to draw, set a new value, draw the component in a new position, instead of using many individual components, saving a lot of time and memory.
actual question
I need to do this with a component. I want the appearance of a JComboBox, but without any of the annoying functionality.
Right now, my paintComponent method looks like this:
//public because the the code I'm overriding upgraded it from
//public to protected
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
    //The following two lines are there to see if
    //the component actually draws. It does.
    g.setColor(java.awt.Color.RED);
    g.drawLine(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
    if (!isDesignTime())
      //Draw in run time
      super.paintComponent(g);
    else
      //Draw in design time
      //This is how I am attempting to use the component as
      //a rubber stamp.
      cmbSpeakerList.setBounds(getBounds());
      cmbSpeakerList.paint(g);
}cmbSpeakerList is a JComboBox. When in design time, it is not contained in the JPanel. I use removeAll to take it out, then in paintComponent, set its bounds to be the same as the panel's, then call paint, passing it the same Graphics object I was given. Does this make any sense?
So, my question is, how can I make the JComboBox (and really, any JComponent, although I don't imagine I'll need this functionality too often) draw itself, but only draw itself, and not do anything else.

I'm not using a JTree. I mentioned the JTree as an example of a component that does the same thing I want to do. Basically, all I want is the appearance of a JComboBox, but without the functionality. So, I create the component, but don't add it. Then I call paint on it with the Graphics object swing gives me. All it does is draw its background color and then exit, though. That's the problem.

I have the Photoshop Elements 11 and when I use the stamp effect the image becomes totally black. It used to have my line drawing in white, now, just a black image. I need the stamp effect. also, most other effects simply crash the program.

Which operating system are you using?
Some filters like Filter>Sketch>Stamp need to have two different colors for the Foreground and Background set in the toolbox.
Press the D key to set the default toolbox color swatches to Black and White and then try the Stamp filter.
If your using mac os x 10.9 or 10.10, then some of the filters under Filter>Sketch will crash pse 11
They are Filter>Sketch>Comic, Graphic Novel and Pen and Ink
Otherwise resetting the pse11 editor preferences might resolve the crashing.
Go to Photoshop Elements Editor(Edit)>General, click on Reset Preferences on Next Launch and then restart the pse 11 editor

Postage stamp effect from the Show Me flash movie on Elements home page

The Elements home page on adobe.com has a little flash movie labeled Show Me that demos some of the nifty new features of version 4.0. In the Enhance section of this movie, right after the liquify/stained glass demo, the picture is cropped using a postage stamp effect. The demo seems to indicate that the selection and cropping are done at the same time, with whatever tool was used. I found a post about using the Custom Shape Tool's Objects.Stamp1/2 shape to create a postage stamp effect, but this demo shows it to be much simpler.
Any ideas on which tool was used in this demo movie?
Thanks!
Gary

From the video it looks like they are using the postage stamp custom shape as the base of a clipping group (the family group photo is on a layer above a blank layer and is grouped with it -- when the lower layer filled with a black postage stamp custom shape the portions of the grouped layer that intersect the shape become visible). I don't have PSE4, so I can't say what they are doing for sure.

Rubber stamp table cell renderers performance

One never stops to learn...
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/table/DefaultTableCellRenderer.html
+...So this class overrides the validate, invalidate, revalidate, repaint, and firePropertyChange methods to be no-ops and override the isOpaque method solely to improve performance. If you write your own renderer, please keep this performance consideration in mind.+
Hm. This was quite a revelation for me. However, Im having troubles implementing it. I have rather complex cell renderers To be exact: I have complex cell editors, for example one containing two textfields and two buttons (key & description textfields plus zoom & search buttons) inside a JPanel. The JPanel is the cell editor component. Because I want the buttons on exactly the same location in the renderer as in the editor, I have an editor-to-renderer wrapper.
I cannot disable the mentioned methods on the JPanel that is the renderer, then its contents isnt painted anymore. Invalidate and validate must stay.
Now, I can easily build a simple text based renderer using DefaultTableCellRenderer aka JLabel. However, what if a table must show more than trivial stuff? Are there any good guides on how to build complex cell renderers?
Again: I often use the editor-as-renderer wrapper in order to not have to code stuff twice. At all works just fine, but appearantly is very slow (my tables are slow indeed)... Any way to do this correctly?

Ok, here you are with two SSCCE's! :-)
The first test only shows a regular complex renderer (2x textfield, 2x button). According to the specs the component must have certain methods disabled, so they are overridden in the jpanel that holds all these components. Run, and then try again with the two methods uncommented.
The second test is how I normally do it; I do not want to write separate editors and renderers, so I only write the editor and use an editor-to-renderer wrapper. In order to fulfill the requirement, I wrap the editor component in a second jpanel that overrides the required methods. Again, run and then try again with the two methods uncommented.

Mask shenanigans!! What am I forgetting??

Why has this technique stopped working for me???? I found instructions for something similar to what I wanted to do and changed a couple things. It worked the first few times. Now, not at all and I know it is something really, really simple that I am forgetting.
I have a simple b/w illus with type (created in Illus, opened and saved as psd) that I want to combine with a texture I created in ps using stipple brush. Think rubber stamp effect.
This is what I've been doing (using CS2):
Layer 1 on top is artwork cut & pasted from psd file, keeping transp background.
Layer 0 on bottom is texture pattern.
1. Layer 1: change blending mode to Color
2. Duplicate Layer 0
3. On this dupe layer, hit Command+Option+ ~ (tilde) to activate lumosity
4. Discard dupe layer (selection is still active)
5. Layer 1: click on Add Layer Mask icon
6. By hiding Layer 0, I can see my nicely masked artwork BUT I can't do anything with it.
If I copy Layer 1 (with its mask) and paste into a new doc, I just get the orig solid b/w art. If I flatten the layers, the background becomes white and when I paste the artwork into a new document, the background is not transparent.
What did I do correctly the first few times that I'm not doing now???
