Trying to Create Cone from Image

I am attempting to take a circular image (a logo of something) and edit it so that it can be printed and turned into a small cone. I have spent HOURS researching this and cannot seem to find the the problem. I've followed the steps below (found on a tutorial at another website) and the gap (where the circle gets slid under itself to create the cone shape) is so small. I have messed around with it since this morning and am at my wit's end. Thank you, in advance, for any assistance!
Let's consider my avatar as the original image. I make sure it is cropped into a circle.
Then in photoshop, I do Filter->Distort->Polar coordinates->Polar to rectangular:
Then, I resize the contents (but not the container [e.g. select all, edit->transform->scale]) of the image horizontally. The percentage I reduce is the percentage of degrees I will remove:
Finally, I go back to polar coordinates, and retrim as a circle: (OP: I don't know what they mean by "retrim as a circle," though, so I stop after selecting "rectangular to polar")
Wrapping the image around the removed wedge is an exercise left to the reader.

Thank you for your reply, Nancy! I actually want to print this and then "assemble" it into a cone.
Here is the original tutorial. The original person was able to accomplish exactly what I want...I just can't figure out where I'm going wrong!

Illustrator script to create symbols from images in folder

Disk utility is crashing when trying to create a new image

Seriously need some help if anyone has an idea of why disk utility is crashing while trying to create a disk image. I'm not finding any other info on this issue.
My HD is failing and being replaced tomorrow and I'm desperately trying to create disk images of both my mac HD and of bootcamp for the new drive being installed.
Any recommendations or suggestions would be truly appreciated.

Thank you for responding so quickly. I do have Carbon Copy Cloner, but if disk utility isn't working, getting it to restore is going to be an issue, though haven't attempted a restore since the HD has to be replaced.
CCC also doesn't clone bootcamp either unfortunately.
Currently running "verify permissions" using Disk Utility and so far so good, it hasn't crashed, it seems to be an issue related to imaging with disk utility.
Then I am going to attempt using the install disk to see if I can get disk utility again and try imaging Bootcamp again too.

Unusual Bug when creating pdf from image files

Hi I have a very mindboggling problem which I cant seem to get my head around.
basically I am trying to create a pdf using a large amount of image files, these images are scans of pages of a book. so I have been trying to create a pdf file from these images, and everytime i try, it all looks ok except for one page which comes up smaller in size than the rest which is a big problem and very unusual. If I change the view of acrobat so that it shows two pages at a time then this is clearly visable where one page is normal and the page next to it is like a third of the size. Ive checked the image file properties for that page and they are more or less the same as the rest, the dimensions of the image file too, but when I add it into a PDF it seems to shrink in size, any ideas as to why? any help would be much appreciated! (and I hope what I said made sense lol )
Thanks
Nav

Hi Davew000
Can you please tell the steps you are doing to create the PDF ?
Thanks,
Tanvi

Trying to create HD disk image on external drive

I'm trying to use the disc utility to create a disk image of my HD, saved to an external drive (500 GB, My Book) via FireWire. After choosing the appropriate origin and destination info on the drop-down menus, and clicking Save, I get a dialogue box that for an instant shows the operation in progress, then reverts to: Unable to save DMG, resources busy. I might not have the exact words, but it's very close.
What am I doing wrong? What resource is "busy", the HD or the external? The dialogue box doesn't indicate that info. I'm not aware of any obvious conflicts. No other applications are running.

Were you trying to copy the Mac OS volume?
I think the OS itself is a big program that is running. So somehow the source is changing every minuets. You may try SuperDuper! or Carbon copy cloner to do what you want, both of which are free, at least some of the main functions are. They should have no problem when dealing with the OS that is currently running.

Trying to create encrypted disc image on external drive

Hi,
I'm trying to create a 10Gig encrypted disc image on an almost empty 2Tb external HD. I go through the usual steps using disc image. But about 1/4 of the way through "creating image" it stops, saying "file too large". Why is this, and is there a way around it.
Richard

Oops. I've just realized that the external HD is formatted as FAT32, so that explains it.

Trying to create DLL from VI to use in TestStand.

I trying to create a DLL out of an existing VI file. The VI has about 4 inputs and about 3 outputs. If I go to Tools >> Build Application and select the Build Target as a "Shared Library (DLL)" i get a dll after the build; but when I try to call that DLL from teststand, it doesn't recognize any of the inputs or outputs. How do I build a DLL so that teststand will reconize the inputs and outputs?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The controls and indicators are connected to the connectors. Also, answering an earlier post, the prototype information for the inputs and outputs are not automatically displayed. I can manually define the prototypes, but then the question is how does each prototype link to its corresponding parameter (by name?). I've also tied creating just a simple VI that has just one string input and one string output. I built the VI to a DLL and tried calling in TestStand and i get the same results. I've inserted the resulting header file after that build. Which, by the way, looks exactly like my other created DLL's header file. The difference in bold(the name of the VI). Which makes me thik that my build DLL process might be off.

#ifdef __cplusplus

Trying To Create Encrypted Disk Images With Disk Utility.

I am trying to create encrypted read and write Disk Images of around 2 GB to 6 GB with Disk Utility.
More often than not the dmg is NOT encrypted.
It seems very hit and miss . . . . most of the time missing!
Is this process notoriously unreliable or am I likely to be doing something wrong?

I think you have cracked it Niel!
I made another, unchecking the Keychain box, and it worked perfectly.
I have been using a password which is used for other items.
Now the .dmg has been created can I check the Keychain box and if so what are the benefits?
I have never understood what the Keychain does.

Trying to create cofile from data file

Hi All,
I am trying to create a cofile with the tp createcofile command and getting the following error .....
---> tp CREATECOFILE DC1K900012 pf=/usr/sap/trans/bin/TP_DOMAIN_DC1.PFL
This is tp version 372.04.65 (release 701, unicode enabled)

PANIC --> exiting
tp returncode summary:

ERRORS: Highest tp internal error was: 0212
tp finished with return code: 212
meaning:
could not access file as supposed (see dev_tp or SLOG1021.DC1 for more details)
Please help with the syntax of creating a cofile ....
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Revanth Kumar

Hello Revanth,
the correct syntax is:
tp createcofile <transport_request> pf=<path_to_tp_profile> -s<extra_r/3_SID> -Dtransdir=<transport_directory>
where "-s<extra_r/3_SID>" is used only if you're generating the file to another system ID. Normally the correct system to connect to for export purposes is the source system and this normally is the same as the first three characters of the transport requests name. However in some cases this is not true and you want to specify a extra R/3-system name. In this case
you can use -s option as described above.
Best regards,
Tomas Black

I have Lightroom 5 and am trying to create some HDR Images for my Real Estate Business. I do not have the option to even be able to stack my photos. My headings are: Lightroom- File-Edit-Window-Help. Why does it not give me the option to be able to Stack?

Can i stack JPEG images or do they have to be Raw Files? The other help videos I have seen have the shortcut CommandG to stack, mine does not respond that command nor do i have a heading labeled Photos.

In order to stack images they must be all highlighted as a group. And the group must be contiguous, in other words next to each other. However, if you are talking about stacking images for the purposes of creating an HDR image, that cannot be done using Lightroom. You will need Photoshop or some other software with HDR capabilities in order to do that. It is possible to stack any file type or combination of file types, including virtual copies.

Trying to create PDF from Scan

I just loaded Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 on my new iMac. Everytime I try to create PDF from scanner it says the program had to close. What is going on here??? Please help me!!!
T

Did you install all the required components:
Front end
Backend
GETTEXT
and so on there are two others.
If so restart computer.
then go to control System preference and look for sane control panel and open up. look for list of scanners ans uncheck all but for your brand of scanner.
Close.
Then cycle off and on the Scanner either unplug power or unplug and plug the USB cable.
Now go to Acrobat and choose Document > Scan to Pdf and the select SANE.
Now when set up, you can set some of the other setup adjustments. when you get adjustments set push the scan button in lower left corner.

Lost all my data when tried to restore windows from image backup. What to do now(for free)?

Dear Friends,
My Server: HP DL380-G7, OS: Win Server2008 (original).
10 days ago when one of my web application is not working I tried to restore my file in old state. So I apply "Windows image backup" services. After completing the process I found that I can't boot. And later when I installed a new OS I discover
all my data from dives gone even from my attached USB hard drive.
HELP ME!!!!! Its my greatest mistake in my 7 years career.
What to DO!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
Above all, whether the USB disk is also included in your system state backup? If so, the restore will also restore the USB disk back to the status when creating that backup.
As data is gone from the USB disk, please make sure there is no any new file wrote onto that disk. Then you can try some third party data recovery tool which could help get the files back. Generally such kind of applications are not free but you can still
search for any application with free version or trail version.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]
