Using Photoshop SDK to merge images in Web Application

Hi,
More of a query than an issue. We have an ASP.NET Web application - and our client has asked that we provide the facility to merge two images on the site. Basically, a user uploads their photo to the site - and then can choose to insert it into an e.g. postcard of the Eiffel tower.
So, we use image layers - where we use Photoshop to create the Eiffel Tower postcard - and then the website user's image is layered behind that in a particular location.
So, the question - can we use the Photoshop SDK to integrate with ASP.NET to take the website user's image and insert it into the appropriate position on the Eiffer Tower postcard image (using layers).
Any other suggestion?

The idea of using Photoshop to power a web application is scary. I
think Adobe have more suitable tools for this environment (without
user interface) though I can't bring any names to mind.

  • Can I use Publications SDK for merging PDFs?

    Hi,
    Can i use Publications SDK for merging PDFs.? Logically i think it should be possible.
    Scenario:-  PDFs will be the report output format for webI, Crystal etc. I will query the repository and get the PDF instances from various BO Reports. Can i use this PDFs as input for Publications SDK? Is there any known limitations?
    Please help.
    Ted, if you are there please update.
    Thanks,
    Anu

    Thanks Ted. Thats really informative.
    Can you please provide a brief description on 'There's an out-of-the-box post-processing extension that merges PDF from Crystal.'
    I'm already using Itext. but it is a costly affair as PDF file size is an issue (200 single page PDF results in 8 MB). And seems like there is no otherway around in Itext to compress PDF.
    About using WebI and Crystal together, I will export PDF from these and give those PDF as input for Publications.Then it should work. Right?

    Wanting to use Photoshop CS6 to open images directly from iPhoto 11.
    Using OSX10.8.2 and iPhoto 11.  Just installed Photoshop CS6 and want to open
    images directly from iPhoto.    Before I installed PS I was not able to edit photos
    in iPhoto 11.  Nothing happens when I click on ‘edit‘ it is blank. 
    And now it will not work using Photoshop CS6 either.
    From Help Center I have gone to iPhoto/Preferences/ Advanced and chosen Photoshop CS6  to Edit Photos but then cannot find an 'Open' to click? Perhaps this is the problem?
    When I select a photo in iPhoto and click the Edit button - nothing happens.
    Please advise. Glenys

    This may be of help to you:
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • DISPLAYING IMAGES IN WEB APPLICATIONS

    When we store images in a column, we are having problems reading and displaying it on web applications.
    can somebody help?
    Thomas

    What version of Oracle do you use? What is the datatype of the column where images are stored? What are you using to read and display the images on web applications? Do you get any errors?

  • Using images in web application

    Hi everybody,
    I would like to store image in my web application that runs on tomcat server, and i put the image in my root web application folder and used it like this:
    File imgfile = new File("image.png");
    InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(imgfile);
    but, this let me FileNotFoundExeption.
    Someone know were to store the image file or how to call him from "new File("")".
    Thanks,
    Moshik.

    The implication of this is that you are placing this code in a Servlet so you need to put the images in a jar in the WEB-INF/lib directory and access them using the getResourceAsStream() method on the Servlet class or ClassLoader. See [http://download-llnw.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/icon.html|http://download-llnw.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/icon.html].

  • Using a VB Class from a Java Web Application

    Hi,
    I need to instance a VB class, and then to invoke their methods, from a java web apllication. The code is:
    Set object = CreateObject("AS2.OBJECTS")
    If object.PutName(sCadenaError, sEntidad) Then
    Array1 = object.getData(sCadenaError, iEntorno, False)
    End if
    "AS2" is the VB dll library. "OBJECTS" is the class to instance. And "PutName" and "getData" are the methods that the web application has to call.
    Can I instance the class from Java, and use the methods with the same data types? What steps have I to do in JNI?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mary

    You are right, I guess my question is a good candidate for RTFM!
    I should have searched also on help.ondemand.com
    I just looked into SDN and ui5 sdk help.
    Thanks for your help

  • Using APEX as SSO redirect for existing web application

    Hi,
    I have an existing PHP based Web Application hosted on an Apache server. I want to protect these web pages by authenticating users via Oracle SSO.
    I tested this by creating a simple APEX web page with redirect <Meta> tag to route traffic to my application upon successful SSO login. This works fine if request comes directly to APEX page....
    So my question is how do I protect php pages from being directly accessed and still be able to get sso user login information (like username) coming from APEX page?
    Do I still need to set up mod_sso.so in osso.conf for my Apache Server or should I just register my php web application as partner application with SSO server without going through APEX?
    Any advice on this is greatly appreciate.
    Thanks,
    james

    Tony,
    Sorry for taking so long to respond as I got side tracked with other tasks.
    Thank you so much for the link. The provided link is very helpful.
    One difference in my situation is that I am using a generic Apache installation (version 2.2.11) and not Oracle Apache Server from OAS.
    So I copied mod_osso.so from OAS 10.1.3.1.0 installation to my generic Apache location. As I tried to startup Apache instance I got following error while loading mod_osso.so.
    ... Cannot load /apache-2.2.11/modules/mod_osso.so into server: /apache-2.2.11/modules/mod_osso.so: undefined symbol: ap_configtestonly
    I did some search and found that other folks are reporting success of using mod_osso.so on generic Apache (without saying which version of Apache). I wonder if mod_osso.so can only work with older version of Apache?
    Do you have insights on this by any chance?
    Thanks again,
    James

  • How to use two different ojdbc14.jar for two web application.

    Yes, I tried removing the jars from common/lib, but as the connection string is mentioned inside the server.xml it is showing db connection error while trying to connect to the database

  • Can I use the search engine and run a web application under the same iPlanet 6.0 virtual server?

    I've got an iPlanet 6.0 SP2 virtual server with the search engine enabled, which was tested and working. I then deployed a web application to it (mapped to "/"), and the web application works fine but now the search functionality is completely broken. Browsing to /search results in a directory index being displayed. Is there some trick to getting the two working together? I tried shuffling NameTrans directives around, but can only get either the search or the web app working, not both.

    Ok, I'm going to answer my own question now...
    The issue has been resolved after some additional experimentation on my part. There were two causes for my problem:
    1. The NameTrans directives in obj.conf are in the wrong order when Java and Search are enabled from the administration interface.
    Here's the admin server generated obj.conf I started with initially, when the web application was working, but requests to the URI "/search" returning a 404 error:
    <Object name="default">
    NameTrans fn="NSServletNameTrans" name="servlet"
    NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/search-ui" dir="/usr/local/iWS-6.0/plugins/search/ui" name="es-internal"
    NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/mc-icons" dir="/usr/local/iWS-6.0/ns-icons" name="es-internal"
    NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/manual" dir="/usr/local/iWS-6.0/manual/https" name="es-internal"
    NameTrans fn="es-search-nametrans" from="/search"
    NameTrans fn="NSServletNameTrans" name="servlet"
    NameTrans fn="document-root" root="$docroot"
    </Object>
    Here's my obj.conf now, which works perfectly:
    <Object name="default">
    NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/search-ui" dir="/usr/local/iWS-6.0/plugins/search/ui" name="es-internal"
    NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/mc-icons" dir="/usr/local/iWS-6.0/ns-icons" name="es-internal"
    NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/manual" dir="/usr/local/iWS-6.0/manual/https" name="es-internal"
    NameTrans fn="es-search-nametrans" from="/search"
    NameTrans fn="NSServletNameTrans" name="servlet"
    NameTrans fn="document-root" root="$docroot"
    </Object>
    The "servlet" NameTrans directive needs to go below all others which map a URI to a function or directory (but before "document-root"), or they break. This is consistent with the iPlanet documentation on NameTrans, but the admin server doesn't get it right!
    2. The developer who wrote the web application uploaded a directory named "search" in the root of his application, which caused the server to display a directory index of "/search", instead of executing the search function. I believe this issue is covered in an iPlanet knowledge base article.

  • Can i 'open using photoshop' without creating another image in LR

    I'm working with RAW files imported into LR 3.2
    I swear that in an earlier version of LR - when I did 'open with photoshop' a corresponding Tiff file was not created in LR unless the image was saved in Photoshop.
    I'm sure it used to work along these lines...
    Open with PS, start to edit in photoshop - then decide not to continue - exit photoshop without saving. Tiff not created in LR.
    Open with PS, start to edit in photoshop - Ctrl+S in Potoshop (or save on exit, etc). Tiff was created in LR.
    anyway- that's the methodology I want.... can I have it?
    [I know that I can 'export' as a Tiff, but thats not the option I want. I only want files opened with PS, from LR, to save in LR if saved in PS]
    SS

    I never use bridge..but,
    If i browse to a folder with a raw file (I use DNG) and right click, open with CS5 - adobe CR6.3 and CS5 fire up.
    In LR i import from camera, as DNG files.
    If I use the edit with CS5 command, PSCS5 fires up but the image never shows in CS5, a corresponding Tiff is not created in LR. [This is an unresolved issue from some time ago, I've deleted preferences files etc..but cannot get transfer from LR to CS5 using 'edit with CS5']
    To overcome this i have CS5 set up as second external editor - having pointed it to where CS5 is installed]
    So. I have the DNG files in LR3.3.
    Right Click - Edit in photoshope.exe (manually pointed as discussed above)
    Dialog box 'what to edit' opens - choice of open a copy with LR adjustements is the only choice. Can selecte file size etc.
    irrespective of whether 'stack with original' is selected - a Tiff file is genrated in LR, and CS5 fires up with the Tiff file open.
    Saving in CS5 results in the file in LR being updated to match.
    As earlier - I only want a Tiff created in LR, if I decide to save the Tiff from CS5.
    thanks for help so far.

  • I am using Photoshop CS3 and the image looks ok on screen, but when I print the image is greenish.

    I have checked with the printer's help desk and they say that this problem is not the printer, and there are no settings to change on the printer. Adobe no longer supports CS3. The immages look OK on screen, but when I print the page, the immage comes out kinda greenish, (more like, quite greenish). I don't know how to fix this problem or where to adjust any settings. Also to mention, the images are completed after a 2 day process, and this musst be done by Dec 22, 2011. Are there simple print options that will fix this problem?

    You're getting into color management territory here and you need to target troubleshooting more specifically.
    Basically you have a document profile that defines the colors. That profile is then converted (translated) into
    1. A monitor profile for display, and
    2. A printer/paper/ink profile for print.
    If both profiles are good you'll get a reasonable match (allowing for the inherent differences between screen and paper).
    If they don't match either could be wrong. So first off, is the monitor calibrated, or are you using the Windows default (sRGB), or a manufacturer provided profile?
    Second, printer color management can be a bit obscure in that some manufacturers "hide" color management by doing it all under the hood and expecting sRGB input. Others, like Epson, allow you to pick the profile. This makes everything more transparent and makes troubleshooting much easier.
    EDIT: cross post.

  • Can I use the SDK on a PC to develop applications for the iPad, iPhone, etc

    I was thinking about paying the $99 a year to join the developer program because I want to download the SDK and try creating applications for the iPhone and iPad; however, can you download the SDK and use it on a PC or does it require that you have a Mac in order to do development work? The xcode4 and interface builder feature looked rather nice but I didn't know if I were to sign up and download if it would all run on my PC (Windows 7)or not.

    It will not run under windows, and you need an Intel-based Mac running Snow Leopard to use it. Have you looked at the Mac Mini?
