Stitching images in pse10

I am about to take some maternity progression images and once complete, I would like to be able to stitch together to view all the images in 1 image. Is it possible to do this in pse10?

For practice,
Create a new blank image using the PSE default size of 6 x 4 in.
Open one of your other images.
On the main menu bar, use Select...Select All.
On the main menu bar, use Edit...Copy.
Switch back to the blank image.
On the main menu bar, use Edit...Paste.
Repeat steps 2-6 for the other images you want.
Open the Layers Palette (on the main menu bar:  Window...Layers).
In the Layers Palette, you'll see that each of your pasted images is on its own layer.
Select the Move tool on the left-hand toolbar.
Click on one of the layers in the Layers Palette to select that image layer, and use the Move tool to move and resize the image as you wish.
Repeat step 11 for each of the other images you pasted.

  • Stitching images with overlays

    I am stitching one large imaq image from several smaller images using image to image copy.  The small images each have several overlays.  After the image to image copy the overlays from the small images are lost. How can this be avoided.  Or at least how can I get the overlay image information to manipulate it and reapply the data.
    Is this possible, it seems that it should be.

    The image overlay data is lost when performing the image to image copy because you lose the origin (0,0) of the small image, to which all overlays are relative.
    You are going to need to user the IMAQ set overlay properties VI to configure the behaviors of the overlays before you copy them.
    An easier method would be to merge the overlay with the picture before copy, but you would lose pixel data under the overlay, and the image would convert to RGB.

  • Stitching images of the sky and the ground

    I know how to create a panoramic shot using several images taken side by side.   My question is, can you create an up and down panoramic image of say, the sky and then the ground.  Example:  I take a picture of a beautiful sunset and then take a picture of the ground right below the sunset to show the two images combined to show an up and down panoramic shot of the effect of the sunset is having on the ground below it.  Is this at all possible?

    A vertical panorama?  Well you can make multi row panoramas, so there is no reason that you couldn't stitch a single column.  An excellent example (set of examples to be more accurate) are Herman Klaus's Vectoramas, which are taken with a hand held camera, merged to HDR in Photomatix, and stitched in Photoshop
    Herman (aka Farbspiel) has an excellent site about HDR
    http://farbspiel-photo.com/
    And if you follow the Learn link on his page, there are some of the best step by step guides I've ever seen.  The videos are an even better source of information, and demonstrate just how much work goes into making an image look like the one above

  • Can't create text on this image in PSE10

    This has got me stumped.  There's something strange going on with this image.  I downloaded it from the Web, and can't create text on it -- text that's visible.  The text layer is created (I can see it in the Layers palette), but no matter what font, size or colour I use, the text does not appear on the image.  I've re-saved the file in PSE10, and as another image in PhotoPaint X5 (which can create text on the image just fine) to no avail.  Here's the image that was saved as another image in PP, but still doesn't work with the text tool in PSE10:
    It's not an important image, just one I use as a test case, but it's driving me crazy.
    Ken

    Aha!  I figured it out.  I used File...Open As to open it as a Camera RAW file.  In the ACR editor, it was showing as 16-bit depth.  Changed it to 8-bit and saved it.  Now the Text tool works!

  • Stitching Images Together - Panoramic Views

    Hi, I would be very grateful for any advice on whether or not
    FW8 can be used to 'stitch' several images together to generate a
    panoramic view. ...or is there a goog FW Extension that can do the
    same? Best wishes, Simon

    Photoshop CS4 does this exceptionally well, and all but
    automatically,
    if you have access to it.

  • Pattern recognition and stitching images to reconstruct a panorama

    H, 
    I am taking around two hundreds snapshots of an object of 1m long and I would like to recreate a full panoramic image.
    I can basically do it manually (it works fine) by imposing a identical offset in between all pictures but sometimes a small delay in the image acquisition is perturbing the assembly.
    Therefore, I would prefer to use an algorithm to do it automatically and find the best offset for each snapshot.
    I have seen that a development already exists although this is far to powerfull for my application (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/6497). However, it is developped for Labview 2010 and I have only LV2009. I do have Vision 2010. 
    Could anyone comment on this and let me know if it would be adapted to my needs?
    If so, could anyone convert that vi's in 2009 format or provide something equivalent?
    Thanking you in advance.
    Cris.

    I don't have LV 2009, but I've saved it back so hopefully it works for you.  Looks like a nice solution - whether it will work will probably depend on the content of your images, and whether there are distinct objects to match up.  I've had a similar problem in the past, but rather than finding particles, I've computed a cross-correlation as the measure of where to overlap images.  You could probably adapt this code to use a different alignment technique.

  • Multi-camera IMAQdx systems: shortcuts for stitched composite image

    Imagine a system using for example multiple GigE cameras through the IMAQdx interface where we wish to form a composite stitched image from the multiple camera views. The stitching principle is naive, straigthforward concatenation, one next to another.
    The problem is that where it is trivial to build such a composite image, it's difficult to do it very efficiently. The image sizes are large, tens of megapixels, so every copy matters. Alternative hardware configurations would open up a lot of options but say we're stuck using GigE cameras and (atleast initially) the IMAQdx interface. What tricks, or even hacks, can you guys imagine facing this challenge?
    I've seen some talk about the IMAQdx grab buffers and it appears to me that one cannot manually assign those buffers or access them directly. The absolute optimal scenario would of course be to hack your way around to stream the image data directly next to each other in the memory, sort of as shown below in scenario1.png:
    The above, however, doesn't seem to be too easily achieved. Second scenario then would be to acquire into individual buffers and perform one copy into the composite image. See illustration below:
    Interfaces usually allow this with relative ease. I haven't tested it yet but based on the documentation using ring buffer acquisition and "IMAQdx Extract Image.vi" this should be possible. Can anyone confirm this? The copying could be performed by external code as well. The last scenario, without ring buffer, using "IMAQdx Get Image2.vi" might look like this:
    The second copy is a waste so this scenario should be out of the question.
    I hope this made some sense. What do you wizards say about it?
    Solved!

    Hi,
    Sorry, the contraints are not really well documented as they are dependent on platform, camera type, camera capabilities, and how the driver handles things. All of these are subject to change and so we decided instead to try to make the errors be very self-descriptive to explain how to fix any requirements.
    You are correct that these fundamentally come down to making sure that the image buffer specified is able to be directly transferred to by the driver. The largest requirement is that the image data type is the same and doesn't need any decoding/conversion step. The other requirements are more flexible and change depending on many factors:
    - No borders, since this adds a discontinuity between each line. This error doesn't apply to GigE Vision (since the CPU moves the data into the buffer) or to USB3 Vision cameras that have a special "LinePitch" feature that can allow them to pad the image lines. The USB drivers of more modern OSes (like Win8+) have more advanced DMA capabilities so it is possible/likely that this also can be ignored in the future.
    - Line width must be a multiple of 64-bytes (the native image line alignment on Windows) - same as border
    So, if you end up using GigE Vision cameras, this should just work. If you want to use USB3 Vision you have a few more contraints to work with.

  • Stitching multi layered images together?

    Is there a way to stitch multiple multi-layer files together?
    I'm using Cinema4D render passes and it puts all the image passes (reflectivity, ambient, specular, etc) into separate layers for easy manipulation.  However, I'm using a tile camera that splits the image into quadrants for faster network rendering.  The downside is that it doesn't re-assemble the images back together.
    Is there a way for Photoshop to glue multi layered images together?

    I have not tried to do this. As Mark stated flatten them first save a copy and merge those.
    Although you could try and report back. Keep in mind that Photoshop needs some overlap to stitch images together. If its just sliced into 4 quadrants just make a Blank file the correct size and dupe all layers and point them at the new file.

  • Recommended plug-ins/apps for panorama stitching in Aperture?

    Does anyone have any recommendations for photo stitching plug-ins/apps that "play well" with Aperture?
    I end up taking a large number of panorama series (horizontal, vertical, and occasionally 2D grid), and I would love to be able to select a stack in Aperture and "edit with plug-in" to create a stitched image (like Photomatix does with HDR series). Failing that, any recommendations of a reliable external app and a recommended Aperture workflow?
    (I had been using ArcSoft Panorama Maker, but it has proven highly unreliable -- lots of crashes and inability to process a number of seemingly-straightforward series --, and its somewhat nonstandard UI becomes pretty cumbersome if you have to use it a lot.)
    Thanks!

    Mike,
    I will share my workflow, but I cannot really recommend it as "best" since I have not tried other software or workflows, but it works well for me.
    I do not use any plugin (and I'm not aware of one right now). I use Hugin, freeware from SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/.
    After importing RAW photos into Aperture (I use a managed library for the most part, but that's neither here nor there), I stack each set of photos that belong in the same panorama. I export the photos from each stack as TIFFs to a predefined folder that contains my pano input and outputs. I run the photos through Hugin and output as JPG files. Then I import those pano outputs as referenced photos into Aperture. For each pano output, I add it to the corresponding stack and make it the stack pick. I crop and do color adjustment if necessary on that final version. Finally, I go back to my predefined folder and delete the TIFFs that I exported from Aperture.
    A couple notes:
    I use JPG as output since there are so many pixels in most panoramas that I could probably print it out large enough to cover my living room wall before seeing JPG artifacts.
    I delete the TIFFs from my pano folder because they're just wasting space at that point. I can recreate them from my Aperture versions at any point, and I'm probably not going to use them outside Aperture.
    It's really easy to add the pano to the stack of its "source" photos, since Hugin ensures the EXIF date matches the first photo in your pano. By sorting my date in Aperture, a newly imported pano shows up adjacent to the "source" stack.
    I import the final JPG as referenced because I want to keep track of all the parameters saved in my Hugin project (I.e., what are the source photos; what were the control points; roll/pitch/yaw; pano algorithm, etc.). That project file is not a picture, so Aperture won't manage it. However, I store the final JPG in the same place as its corresponding project file. With a referenced master, I can use Aperture to show me the location in finder, an voila, I have found the Project file, too. If ever I need to recreate the pano for some reason, I can look at the project file and see what pictures I need to export from Aperture to start the process over again.
    Hope this is helpful!

  • Accidentally boosted DPI while cropping an image - affect on quality?

    Hi,
    While cropping some of my jpeg images (orginally 300 dpi) I didn't pay attention to some of the settings and the dpi has now been boosted to 800. Does this have any affect at all on the image quality? I had made other changes too so don't want to start all over again with the original files. I changed one image back to the original 300 dpi and it does not seem to appear different in any way to the 800 dpi image. Sorry if this is a silly question, I'm quite new to all of this. Just want to be sure that my files will have exactly the same quality even with the changed dpi.
    Thanks!
    Chris

    Its hard to guess. Evert time you interpolate an image you wind up with a completely new image.  The number of pixels you have for and image changes.   Going from a large number to a smaller number usually works better then increasing the number of pixels. Usually and your decreasing the number of pixels so the image fits on a low resolution display.  Your basically throwing  away detail for you have more then the display can display at once.  When you print and do not have a sufficient  amount of pixels to print a high resolution print you lack detail so up sample and interpolate the pixels you have a dream up details you lack.
    The quality change depends the quality of the original pixels on the output device the size the physical image will be a the delta change in the number of pixels.  If you  throw away too much detail or make up most of the image detail the image quality is low.
    If you start with a 8MP camera portrait  of a friend crop their right eye out which will be a small percentage of you 8MP and set the crop to be a 16x20 print at 300 the image will be very soft for you made up most of the output pixels.
    On the other side of the coin is you started with a 1GP stitch image of Manhattan crop it to an 20x16  aspect ratio image retaining all the image you can ans set 300DPI  you will have a high quality image.

  • Perspective and stitching

    So I'm playing with stitching to allow images wider than my widest lens would take and to capture greater resolution for larger prints.  I'm playing with stitchings for 8-20 images.  I've been using File>Automate>Photomerge...  I've played with the various options and have found that merging with the "Auto" option, though the effect I want is the "Perspective" optoin.
    Since the images to each side are with the the sensor plane angled away from the subject there is noticable perspective to both sides of the merged image.  What I'm wondering is what the best type of correction to make is.  The standard perspective controls are like tilting the back of a large format camera and only correct in one direction.  I'm looking for something that might be like folding the perspective in the middle of the image.

    In some cases my angle of view does exceed 120.  In the image above the filed of view of the original captures is right at 180 degrees.  But wierd things are happening in this picture.  Note the logs on the left side of the image and the trees on the right side.  A straight road runs along the edge of this scene and passes within five feet of both the logs and the trees.  Outlet of this spring is that trail of brown and it is parallel to the road.  The line of trees looks fine, but that is because the clearing is a semicircle, so the line of trees is relatively parallel to the sensor plane in each capture.
    If I had an extreme shift lens, that would make better captures too, as sensor plane would remain parallel to the subject.  Large format photographers and those familiar with tilt/shift lenses will understand.  For an explanation of what's happening see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_control_lens
    The reason the normal perspective controls in PS don't work quite right is that they assume one capture.  Thus the correction is basically applying a trapazoid to correct that fact that the one capture had the sensor (film) plane out of parallel with the subject.  In the case of a stitched image, the sensor plane is at multiple angles to the subject, and also in opposite directions from each other.

  • HDR Panorama Stitching (Photo Merge)

    Hi,
    Over the last few years I have generated a series of images to be converted in to a HDR Panorama.
    i.e. Tripod mounted camera, take 3 exposure levels, rotate camera, repeat until scene is complete.
    The problem I've found is that you can stitch, or you can HDR, but doing both tends to lead to problems. (normally alignment)
    The solution occurred to me earlier, stitch the 0 exposure using PS Photomerge, then using the same masks, replace the images with the +/- exposures and I'll be able to generate 3 perfectly aligned stitched images, that can then be HDR'd.
    The problem comes that PS rotates the images during alignment.
    Is there anyway to duplicate the rotation on to a different series of images for the above purpose?
    Either that, or can anyone suggest an alternative for my intended purpose?

    I can't say as I have ever had a problem, but I would have used Photomatix for the HDR sets, and then merged the saved TIFFs in Photoshop.  What is your current workflow?

  • Panorama images files

    Do you have any insight into the image specs of the source files used to create the Panorama images in PTgui or Pano2VR and then the specs/recommendations for the 6 images used in the overlay?

    Hi Monica,
    I'm not sure exactly what information you are after so I'm going to give it a shot and see if this is what you are after. 
    First off PTGui and Pano2VR are two different types of applications. PTGui will stitch your images together to create a 360 x 180 panoramic equirectangular image as well as providing various export options. Pano2VR on the other hand doesn't actually stitch images but will take that equirectangular image created in PTGui and allow you to define parameters, attach UI skins and export in a number of ways including Flash/HTML using mult-resolution files.
    So for PTGui your source files should be of the highest quality and resolution you can shoot. For example I shoot on a Canon 5D Mark 2 with a 15mm Canon Fisheye lens. This gives me a RAW file of approximately 28mb, I shoot 6 around and 1 vertically. When I stitch these in PTGui I'll end up with an equirectangular image around 10,000 x 5,000px.
    I use Pano2VR, in conjunction with Photoshop, to do any retouching necessary using the patch tool. Then I create a set of output images, HTML and Javascript files because I incorporate the panoramas using a Web Content overlay (see Bob Bringhurst's excellent DPS Tips app for info on how to implement it). In creating the output I use the option to create multi-resolution files, that provide increased resolution as users zoom in.
    Alternatively, if you only want to implement the panoramas via the Panorama overlay, you can use PTGui or Pano2VR simply to export the 6 images. In this case I'd export at around 1,000 x 1,000px in jpg format. If you are targeting higher spec devices you could increase the size.

  • Can You Create Composited Images w/ Lightroom???

    I'm trying to figure out if Lightroom will satisfy all my needs. As far as image editing is concerned, Lightroom should be sufficient for me. However, I do occassionally have a need to composite several images into one. Can Lightroom do this?
    If not, can PhotoShop Elements 5.0 do this, or do I need the full PhotoShop.

    Lightroom does not have the built in ability currently to stitch images together into a composite, panoramic, or HDR.
    There are Plug-Ins though for Lightroom that will do this for you. LR / ENfuse for example with do exposure layering and blending.
    There are a ton of pre-sets out there, and a growing number of Google. J.Friedly and T. Armes both have some great shareware ones.

  • FRom CS6 to PSE10

    I'm working in Windows XP Home. I download my images from camera into CS6, where I do my editing and deletions. How do I the find those images in PSE10?

    I found them on my external hard drive. None of the images I found had had any editing done to them. There were many from the original download but I had culled thru and saved only the ones I was interested in keeping. Here is another issue I have been dealing with: if I change anything about an image in someplace other than PSE10, and I look for the image in PSE10 I find that it is disconnected and I am no longer able to view it in PSE10. Would you advise dumping PSE10 in favor of using CS6 for organization? If I don't have to do that, I would prefer to continue to use PSE10 Organizer because I am familiar with it and it's a true organizer...that being said, if I choose to further edit an image in CS6 what will that do to the availability, for viewing, in PSE10?
