Using PNG format with max width without clipping top and bottom of image?

I am using PNG format to preserve the transparency and drop shadow I am trying to incorporate to give the illusion that this slab object is floating above the other layers.  I first tried file>place to position the menu object on edge of header/beginning of content.  Doing that leaves no options to force the image to span the width of whatever screen.  I need that so I've tried using object>fill> and then clicking the max width of the rectangle (which does solve the max width problem), but I am now dealing with a clipping problem of the top and bottom of the image.  The next thing I can think of is to go back to Photoshop and distort the image so it isn't as tall.  I feel there has to be a simpler way to accomplish this that won't also give my image a unnatural look.  Thoughts?  Thanks in advance.

Thanks, that helps.  I also found that I cropped to much of the canvas.  After increasing the canvas area AND setting to fill all is well now.  I think your suggestion may help with the scrolling affect problem I'm having when using different resolutions. I am going to try to set the size in one dimension (height) so that different resolution screens see the same scroll actions.  Thanks Mylenium!

  • Images used in an iPhoto Slideshow are clipped top and bottom. Why?

    After importing images into iPhoto I incorporate them into slideshows. But when I view the results even after removing title and Ken Burns effects, they are clipped on the top and bottom by a signifiant amount. How do I correct this. I have had to add extra areas top and bottom to compensate. I'm using iPhoto version 9.5.1 on the latest Mavericks OS on a mid 2011 iMac.

    I tried expanding the canvas (using Photoshop) to a 16 x 9 width-to-height ratio with Black fill. Worked perfectly in iPhoto.
    Thanks for the tip about the wrong aspect ratio.

  • IMovie is outputting my movie with big black bars at top and bottom that I don't want

    Quicktime: Ver 10.3
    iMovie: Ver 10.0.5
    OS: OS X Ver 10.9.4
    So, let me try and explain...
    I have recorded gameplay footage of my game directly from my Mac screen using Quicktime's Record Screen option. I've tried recording both in fullscreen mode (with my game also running in fullscreen mode) and a section of the screen by dragging the mouse to select a 640X960 box (with my game running in windowed mode which is displayed at 640x960 resolution).
    This initial recording direct from the screen displays fine, both when I view it in windowed mode and when I view it fullscreen, with the height of the game stretching to the full height of the video area but obviously with big black borders to either side in fullscreen mode (as it's basically iPhone ratio in portrait mode).
    WindowedFullscreen
    This ^^^ is how they should look.
    The problem is when I try to import the movie into iMovie, mess around with some fade-ins and music and stuff and then output the edited movie via iMovie...
    When I then try to view this outputted movie in windowed mode on certain sites (Kickstarter) my game footage doesn't take up the full height of the video and instead floats in the middle with big black bars at the top and bottom, which I don't want. It's fine when I go fullscreen but the problem is that when I load this video into Kickstarter it shows the non-fullscreen view of the video with this big black border and it looks really amateur.
    This is what Kickstarter shows in windowed mode i.e. the way you see Kickstarter videos by default when you press Play; unless I go fullscreen and then it takes up the full heigh of the view.
    Note: Windowed mode actually looks fine when viewed directly on my Mac but I know it's not Kickstarter that is causing the issue because I can see in the thumbnail preview on my Mac that the video is somehow encoded with the big black bars at the top and bottom. Also, I uploaded the unedited videos to Kickstarter just to check and they display fine. So it's definitely iMovie that is adding these annoying black borders at the top and bottom for whatever reason (and I'm not intentionally scaling the video down in iMove or anything like that as far as I know). I also can't use the unedited footage however because it has no sound and no transitions etc.
    Does anyone know what night be causing this and how to get rid of it.

    You are lucky to see anything - iMovie 5 is not really compatible with Snow Leopard, which only supports iMovie 6 and above.
    Snow Leopard only runs on Intel Macs. iMovie 5 was never written, AFAIK, for Intel, just for the PPC Macs they had in those old days!

  • I just set up a new computer running Windows 8.1. When I go to my icloud photostream, the pictures are in PNG format NOT JPG. When I open and upload photos from the photostream, the resolution is so low that the image quality is terrible. Help?!?

    Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

  • On Excel 2013 (64 bit), I can't use the Analysis ToolPack add-ins without a problem and plot the residuals.

    On Excel 2013 (64 bit), I can't use the Analysis ToolPack add-ins without a problem and plot the residuals. It went crash.

    Hi,
    In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
    Do you mind telling us the Excel version number? Like 15.0.XXXX.1000
    Would you like to collect the Event Log and App Crash dump file to do further troubleshooting?
    As far as I know, if Excel crashes when using Analysis ToolPack add-ins, it usually causes by the >>Faulting module name: mso.dll<<, Please try the following method and check if it is helpful:
    1.Copy/paste the Mso.dll from another PC.
    2.Click "Start" and "Computer."
    3.Double-click "C: Drive," "Windows" and "System32." The System32 folder opens.
    4.Drag the Mso.dll file on your desktop into the System32 folder.
    5.Click "Start," type "cmd" into the search field and press "Enter" to open the Command Prompt.
    6.Type "regsvr32 mso.dll" (without the quotation marks) into the Command Prompt and press "Enter."
    7.Close the Command Prompt and restart your computer.
    Then, if the Faulting module name is not MSO.Dll, you also can upload(Or send to us via email
    [email protected])  the Event Log/App Crash dump file. We'd like to do further troubleshooting.

  • I have all my clips with an extra edge around the top and bottom I want to remove

    As you can see from the image below, I have all my source videos recorded at 1024x820.  I want to, using Premiere clip this to 1024x768 removing some from both the top and bottom.  I'll have hundreds of clips of this shape (1024x820) I will import into premiere.  Is there some kind of transformation I can do that will clip the top and bottom so that my exports come out at 1024x768?  I don't want to shrink the full picture, I want to clip the top and bottom edges cleanly.

    All I am doing is the following:
    import my mov file that is 1024 x 820
    create a sequence that is 1024 x 768
    export the sequence
    I made a video showing the steps (very boring, sorry).
    I'm sure there is something simple I'm missing. i'm 99% sure my result is wrong from the looks of it in the movie player.

  • Hi, Just switched from CS6 to PS CC. I am used to using ACR in CS6 with it's preview checkbox in the upper  right-hand corner. I do not see that checkbox in PS CC. I see that they have added side-by-side, right and left and top and bottom before and after

    Hi,
    Just switched from CS6 to PS CC. I am very comfortable using ACR in previous versions. I liked to use the preview checkbox located in the upper right-hand corner to see before and afters. That checkbox is no longer in my version of PS CC. I see that they have side-by-side, top and bottom and right and left before and after options in the lower right-hand corner in this version. Is there anyway to get that legacy preview checkbox back so that I can use it?

    Hi Warunicorn,
    Thank you very much. I just could not find it on my own. I will have more questions as I get into it.

    Hi shldr2thewheel,
         it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
    Sincerely in need of help once again,
    Kim

  • Why does the top and bottom of my clips get cut off?

    Hi, I'm new to iMovie and I've encountered an annoying problem. I imported all my movie files from my flash drive without any issues. I dragged a clip from the section with all the clips to the play reel. I previewed the clip, both normal screen and full screen, and both times the top and bottom of the clip was cut off. I tried it again with different clips but the same thing kept happening? Can anyone tell me why this happens because my head keeps getting cut off and I don't like it one bit.

    First, you can go into File/Project Preferences and adjust the aspect ratio of your project to either widescreen (16:9) or standard (4:3), to match your footage.
    You can combine footage that is widescreen and standard in the same project. In this case, you have to tell imovie how to handle the clips that do not fit the overall project aspect ratio. To do this, you can select a clip in your project and use the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool. If you select FIT, it will preserve the whole frame by inserting black bars (letterboxing). If you select CROP it will cut off the top and bottom. You can select the default for this in Project Properties.

  • Why when almost completed editing a video on imovie have half the clips developed narrow screen aspect exhibiting grey band top and bottom of each clip?

    Why when almost completed editing a video on imovie, have almost half the clips developed narrow aspect - the rest is still widescreen? The faulty clips have developed grey bands top and bottom.

    Tried to duplicate the situation.
    Most probably I got it wrong but when adding in
    • a photo in 16x9 then I get a black letterbox-ing
    • an 16x9 video taken from a small compact digital Camera and in wrong frames per seconds (30fps) in a PAL (25fps) project - I get this gray banding too. Strange
    May be it has to do with matching different fps in same project - never liked to do that as quality usually suffers and it goes jumpy.
    I use JES_Deinterlacer to get all my material into the same standard first - not letting iMovie or iDVD do that conversion as that gives ME BAD RESULT.
    Someone with clear knowledge on this - Please feel free to fill in and correct.
    Yours Bengt W

  • I plugged my macbook pro into an external monitor, then unplugged it later and now it is stuck with black borders on top and bottom and zoomed out like it is still on the monitor. How do I fix it?

    I started using my external monitor with my macbook pro and as soon as I plug it in it to the monitor it adjusts the screen by zooming out a bit and creating about 3/4 of an inch black borders on the top and bottom of the screen. But these dont show up on the monitor so I assumed it was fine. But when I took it off the monitor, the borders were still there like it was still on the monitor. Any hellp? Its starting to mess with my eyes haha.

    Hi aefulcher,
    It sounds like you had the external display set to mirror the internal display so the resolution(s) were changed to match each other.
