Smooth Image Blending

How to create a Smooth Image Blend with Photoshop Touch
Combine two photos seamlessly using a gradient within the Add Fade feature. You control where the fade starts and stops.
1. After selecting the "Add Dramatic Flare" tutorial, press "Begin Tutorial" to start. Tap the top layer and choose Add Fade from the & menu.
2. Drag the top gradient handle down to the middle of the image.
3. Tap the Edit Gradient button. Adjust the fade opacity by dragging the gradient stops. Tap OK.
4. Select the background layer and choose Adjustment > Color Balance
5. To match the top layer's light quality, increase the Red value by about 10%. Tap OK.
6. Tap the back arrow in the top options bar. This will prompt you to save. Press Save to save your project.

Hi Michael,
Could you please add some information about which platform/device you are on?
I'm not sure if you are familiar with how to work with the tutorial, you need to follow the step and then press the "forward" button in order to continue with the next step.
Is this the only tutorial you are experiencing issues with?
I think it would help if you show us some kind of screen shot of what you are seeing/encountering. A screen shot about how the document looks like when the
when opening the tutorial would probably be the best.
thanks,
Ignacio

Illustrator Smooth Color Blend Stops Working

Hi,
Sometimes for no apparent reason the blend tool decides to just stop blending in smooth color mode. When I click "make blend," there is always 1 step between gradients.
This happens to other users as well. I tried restarting, resetting blend tool parameters, and nothing works. Smooth color blend is a must. I'm on CS3, but this happens too in CS and CS2.
Thanks.

J:
I have had this problem with CS2 and it is probably a bug. I just go into the blend dialogue after making the blend and reset smooth, or select a large number of specified steps to make it work. Is this dumb or what?

My iphone has a problem, it simply does not work, the screen is all black with a few colorful scribbles and images blend, I used it only took 6 days and returned to service when operated only 7 more days and it happened again the same thing, what do I do?

Smooth image pan

Sorry I'm a noob
I import images into flash but when I use motion tween to pan
them, they play all jerky, like 3 or 4 FPS. My timeline is set to
24fps. The other animations play smoothly, its just the imported
images that are jerky.
I hear flash 8 can make it smooth but the file won’t be
compatible with old flash players. A lot of people I know still
haven’t upgraded. I would like to make it compatible with
flash 7 or hopefully earlier.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks Dave, really appreciate the time you've given to try and help me. Woke up to a stack of snow here in the UK - we're not used to the white stuff.
I've tried rendering to 50 frames per sec and no difference in stuttering movement. I've been looking more closely at the RAM preview and although it runs in real time, there is a slight stutter in places (at 25 and 50 frames/s), although much smoother than the rendered pan, which is bad. When compressed in Premier to H.264 it looks even worse.
I've been searching the web for postings on this subject, and on this and other forums, the same question has been asked many times and I haven't found the situation resolved by the end of the thread - where some guy goes 'yeah thanks that's real smooth now'! Also, I've seen lots of smooth pans done with a camera on video clips but I can't find a smooth one done from a still image rendered by software.
Cheers

Photoshop CS4 new Smoother Image Viewing problem

Photoshop CS4 now appears to make images look smoother than ever, however, when I'm working on images which have hard aliased edges, the images look blury and actually make me feel like my eyes are out of focus. It's very disconcerting. I've not found a way to preview the CS3 way so I've had to revert back to using CS3 at work. This problem represents a show stopper for me.

I'm on the phone with HP tech support about this problem. He said he's gonna charge me to fix the problem and than he put me on hold. I'm waiting to find out how much money I've saved. You put some dollars in my pocket. Thanks!!!!!!

Smooth image scaling is not so smooth

Okay, comparing jdk1.6.0_05 with Photoshop CS2 with respect to their ability to do smooth bicubic scaling is a bit unfair.
However - the end result is so different, that I'm tempted to report this as a bug.
Code:
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ALPHA_INTERPOLATION, RenderingHints.VALUE_ALPHA_INTERPOLATION_QUALITY);
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_COLOR_RENDERING, RenderingHints.VALUE_COLOR_RENDER_QUALITY);
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_DITHERING, RenderingHints.VALUE_DITHER_DISABLE);
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION, RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BICUBIC);
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_RENDERING, RenderingHints.VALUE_RENDER_QUALITY);* [Original image 1028x2000 GIF|http://konzoomer.com/3-0020662000064.gif]
* [Scaled with Photoshop CS2 122x237 JPG|http://konzoomer.com/3-0020662000064-scaledWithPhotoshop.jpg]
* [Scaled with Java 6 122x237 JPG|http://konzoomer.com/3-0020662000064-scaledWithJava1.6.0_05.jpg]
So - is there any way to get closer to the photoshop result? Have I missed a vital rendering hint?

BufferedImage displays as streaky; smooth image not produced

Hi all,
I have three classes that I'm working with. One is ImageProcessor, a Class I have to process images. Another is IMAQGUI, a GUI for my IMAQ service, and the third is IMAQIceStormService.
In IMAQIceStormService, I am using ImageProcessor to create an image from a byte[] that gets sent to me, and I'm using IMAQGUI to display the image on my GUI.
All this is working fine, except the image does not display properly. I am getting the proper data, as I have compared the camera image to my streaky image, and saw that they are the same. The width, height, depth, and stride should all be correct; 1000x1000 pixels, 8 bits per pixel, and a stride of 0. I recently changed my ImageProcessor code to make some methods static, and I may have broken something.
Basically, can anyone take a look at my ImageProcessor methods, and possibly give any suggestions as to why the image is not displaying correctly?
Here is the relevant part of IMAQIceStormService:
     public void imageAcquired(long id, IMAQTypes.ImageDesc imageDesc, byte[] imageData,
          Ice.Current current) {
          IMAQGUI.appendImage(ImageProcessor.createImage(imageData, imageDesc.width, imageDesc.height));
     }IMAQTypes.ImageDesc is simply the image description. It tells me the width, height, depth, and stride of the image. As you can see, I am telling IMAQGUI to appendImage based on what returns from ImageProcessor. First, here is the relevant code from IMAQGUI:
     private static JLabel imageViewer = new JLabel(); // this gets added to the main panel in a different method
     public static void appendImage(BufferedImage image) {
          imageViewer.setIcon(new ImageIcon(image));
          imageViewer.revalidate();
     }This just sets the icon to the new image, and revalidates the JLabel so it displays the new image.
Finally, here is the most important part. This is the relevant code from ImageProcessor:
    public static BufferedImage toImage(byte[] data, int w, int h) {
        DataBuffer buffer = new DataBufferByte(data, data.length);
        WritableRaster raster = Raster.createInterleavedRaster(buffer, w, h, w,
        1, new int[] {
            0
        } , null);
        ColorSpace cs = ColorSpace.getInstance(ColorSpace.CS_GRAY);
        ColorModel cm = new ComponentColorModel(cs, false, true,
        Transparency.OPAQUE, DataBuffer.TYPE_BYTE);
        return new BufferedImage(cm, raster, false, null);
    public static BufferedImage createImage(byte[] data, int width, int height) {
          BufferedImage im = toImage(data, width, height);
        //image = toImage(data, width, height);
        BufferedImage out = createRGBImage(im);
        return out;
    public static BufferedImage createRGBImage(BufferedImage in) {
        BufferedImage output = new BufferedImage(in.getWidth(), in.getHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
        Graphics2D g = output.createGraphics();
        g.drawRenderedImage(in, null);
        g.dispose();
        return output;
    }I am unsure of why ImageProcessor is creating a streaky image, especially because I know the image dimensions are correct. Is there something I am missing? Does anyone see any mistakes anywhere? Does anyone have any suggestions?
I know this is a lot of information, so thanks a lot for any help you can provide.

Hi again,
I'm still unsure as to what the problem is here. I thought maybe it had something to do with the GUI container, but I saved the BufferedImage to the local filesystem using ImageIO.write(), and it looks the same.
Although no one has apparently seen any obvious problems, can someone possibly let me know if the methods are correct for what I am trying to do: convert a byte[] to a BufferedImage of RGB format?

Smooth image saling

Hi,
Iam developing an Image Viewer application using ImageIO package(as I have to handle Tiff files).
Iam trying to scale a b&w tif file which is scanned with 300 dpi(2400X3162) using Graphics2D.scale() method and the quality is really bad for any scale factor below 0.5.
I tried setting anti-aliasing to true and there is no change in appearence.
Is there any better way to do this? Like implementing any better algorithms etc.
I tried JTiffy viewer(http://www.tiffy.de) and the quality is excellent for the same file.
Any suggestions please?
varma

Thanks a lot DrLaszloJamf for you quick response.
It works perfect for scaleFactor <=1 and I am amazed by the qualty of the image.
But throws OutOfMemory error for scaleFactor > 1 (1.1 to 2..). Here is my code.
BufferedImage image = null;
int w=0;
int h=0;
try
     ImageInputStream in = ImageIO.createImageInputStream(new FileInputStream(path));
     String ext = path.substring(path.lastIndexOf(".") + 1);
     ext = ext.trim();
     Iterator readers = ImageIO.getImageReadersBySuffix(ext);
     if (!readers.hasNext())
     throw new IOException("no readers");
     ImageReader reader = (ImageReader) readers.next();
     reader.setInput(in);
     ImageReadParam param = reader.getDefaultReadParam();
     int total = reader.getNumImages(true);
     System.out.println("Total Pages= " + total);
     System.out.println("Loading...");
     try
          int num = Integer.parseInt(pageNum);
          w = reader.getWidth(num);
          h = reader.getHeight(num);
          image = reader.read(num);
          MediaTracker tracker = new MediaTracker(new JFrame());
          tracker.addImage(image, 0);
          tracker.waitForID(0);
          System.out.println("Successfully Loaded");
     catch(Exception e)
          System.out.println("Load Error: " + e);
     reader.abort();
     reader.dispose();
     image.flush();
     ColorModel cm = null;
     try {
          PixelGrabber grabby = new PixelGrabber(image, 0, 0, 1, 1, false);
          if (!grabby.grabPixels())
               throw new RuntimeException("pixel grab fails");
          cm = grabby.getColorModel();
     catch (InterruptedException e) {
          throw new RuntimeException("interrupted", e);
     double scaleFactor = 1;
     try
          scaleFactor = Double.parseDouble(scale);
     catch(Exception se)
          System.out.println("scale Error: " + se);
     int reqWidth = (int)(w*scaleFactor);
     int reqHeight = (int)(h*scaleFactor);
     Image target = null;
     if(scaleFactor < 1)
     target = image.getScaledInstance(reqWidth, reqHeight, Image.SCALE_AREA_AVERAGING);
     else
          int transparency = cm.getTransparency();
          GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
          GraphicsDevice gd = ge.getDefaultScreenDevice();
          GraphicsConfiguration gc = gd.getDefaultConfiguration();
          BufferedImage target2 = gc.createCompatibleImage(reqWidth, reqHeight);
          Graphics2D g = target2.createGraphics();
          double scalex = (double) target2.getWidth() / w;
          double scaley = (double) target2.getHeight() / h;
          AffineTransform at = AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(scalex, scaley);
          g.drawRenderedImage(image, at);
          g.dispose();
          target = target2;
Then, Iam using the target image to be rendered in JPanel.
I also used createVolatileImage method of GraphicsConfiguration. But ended up with the same OutOfMemory error.
Is there any way that I can get arround this error?
Thank you.

Smooth Images End Up Looking Jagged

Hi! I'm new to FireWorks. When I export images, they look
great in FireFox, but in IE, they look disastrously amateurish.
Does anyone have any advice on making sure exported images look
great in both FF and IE?
Typically, I use anti-aliasing and avoid dithering.
Thanks!

I'm trying to play an .mp4 video, but it does not display smoothly; image is jumpy. The sound is fine, but the image starts and stops. When I play the same file in WMV, displays just fine.

Any suggestions on what I can try to clear this up? Videos that I have downloaded through iTunes work just fine. I don't know how to troubleshoot this file to see what is causing the issue.

I'm not sure if my computer doesn't recognize the encoding for the movie or if I need to download another type of software to play the movie. Someone suggested that i try using PowerDVD to see if it could play the movie.
Ok then tell me this what is that DVD your having problem watching then? And what Region Code are you from like Euro is Region 2 and so on??? Could be the Region problem on the DVD doesn't match your drive Region as well?

Want to smooth loaded images (jpg) in flash8

i want to smooth loaded images (jpg) in flash8
let's say that i have one layer, one frame and the following
AS:
_root.loadMovie("q.jpg");
the _root could be an object, but the behavior is the same
so in flash7 CTRL+ENTER, right click and zoom ---> RESULT:
zoom with image interpolation (like photoshop bicubic resample)
but in flash8 CTRL+ENTER, right click and zoom --->
RESULT: zoom with NO image interpolation (like photoshop nearest
nei ghbor resample)
why?????
i have looked in help but all i can find is somthing refering
about images in the library. I want external jpgs!!!
i have done a slideshow with setable tranzitions (fade, blur,
moving, zoom in/out, external loaded masking)
here is some the important part of the my code (not important
for my problem, but I just want to say that i've worked about 1-2
days and i want to make it better. is frustating that i have blur,
fade, gradient transparency (blending) and not a smooth image):

Merging / blending images

I am using Photoshop CS2 on Windows XP Professional.
I want to create an image from four monotone images to place in a document which will be printed. The overall appearance of the finished image will be monotone (a blue/grey colour) with the four images blending nicely with a relatively smooth transition.
I have created four monotone eps images. Then I have created a new file the size of the image I want to finish up with. This is a cmyk image so I can use the cmyk colour I want to use as a background for the images. I want the images to blend into this background.
I have filled the final image with the blue/grey background colour. I then placed each of the monotone images into the final image on its own layer, using the Free Transform tool to get them where I want them.
My problem is making them blend nicely into the background colour so it looks like one image - a montage or collage. I have achieved a result which is almost acceptable but I have spent a lot of time without too much progress. I am not confident I am doing it the best way and fear I am wasting time heading in the wrong direction.
I would be grateful if you could let me know the direction I should take to achieve a nice looking final monotone image with each of the pictorial elements blending nicely - blending with the background and with each other where they overlap.
I look forward to hearing your suggestions.
Thanks
Frank

Apply a layer mask to each layer, then paint with a soft brush to hide/expose edges and transitions.
Here are a few tutorials on the subject to get you started...

Hi there
We're going to need some more information from you in order to provide some assistance. Could you post the images that're you're working with, or a screenshot of your workspace?
Below is a basic video tutorial that shows you the basics of combining two images in Photoshop CS6:

Smooth jpeg images

Hi
I wonder if I can smooth images that I work with in some way before saving them. This is the code that I use now but my images look a bit too sharp:
Graphics2D g = Slikavenvelika.createGraphics();
g.drawImage(Slikanot, pret3, null);
g.dispose();
OutputStream datoteka = new FileOutputStream(mapa + "/" + "Velike/" + slika);
JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(datoteka);
JPEGEncodeParam param = encoder.getDefaultJPEGEncodeParam(Slikavenvelika);
param.setQuality(0.85f, true);
encoder.encode(Slikavenvelika, param);
datoteka.close();
Thanks for answering

Hi
I already figured out a way:
float kol = 1.0f/9.0f;                                                       //Tukaj se ustvari matrika za transformacijo
          float[] elementi = new float[9];
          for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++)
          elementi[i] = kol;
          Kernel jedromehcanja = new Kernel(3, 3, elementi);
          ConvolveOp mehcaj = new ConvolveOp(jedromehcanja);                         //Tukaj se izvrši operacija transformacije glede na matriko
          mehcaj.filter(zmehcana, ostra);
This above filter blurs my images, and if I wanted to blur them even more, I would just have to use a bigger kernel. I get that much.
But the thing is that I don't want my images blurred so much as this filter does. Is there any other way or kernel for above process that would smooth/blurr my iamges just a little bit?
Thanks for answering
Gregor
