Cropping and Blue Screening - 2 unrelated questions.

1) When I straighten a still in Canvas by using the wire frame, to make a house level, say, the cropping lines, naturally, move with it. So a cropping line at an angle will give me a slanting top and bottom line. So how can I crop it so that the picture has a square aspect? Is the only recourse to go back to the original site for the picture, GIMP or iPhoto, perhaps, crop it there and re-import the photo into FCE? Or is there a quicker way?
2) I have added a number of videos above my main video to show, for example, falling snow, and eliminated their black background by Modify - Composite Mode - Screen. Very easy and by no means unusual. So, my question, is, why all the fuss about green and blue screening? Setting it up seems troublesome. A black background for the purpose is much easier to make, and, for that matter, easier to find. I looked down my back yard this morning and this side of the creek are jet black bushes which would seem ideal for such a purpose. This seems such a no-brainer that I think I must be missing something. But it is curious.

1) I shall immediately turn to the garbage matte section in your book - I'm sure I remember seeing one - and work it out from there. And here I always thought a garbage matte was that rug I bought in Cairo.
2) A black screen. That does give me a thought. When I return to my upcoming masterpiece, " "Orrible Murder at the Castle Doom" I could put one of my granddaughters in a black suit, photograph her against a black background and Voila! a floating head. I wonder if they give out Oscars for original ideas?
Once more. Thank you.

When using Firefox certain videos play but the image is green and distorted.. help?

Firefox 3.6.8 and 3.5 (I downgraded to see if that would solve the issue)
Windows 7
Intel Core i5
Flash Player: WIN 10,1,53,64
When using Firefox certain videos play but the image is green and distorted. The image turns into lines and sometimes it half of the screen of the video. Examples are streaming MLB.tv video and some vimeo videos. The odd thing is that it isn’t all Vimeo videos. Is this a flash issue?
The issue does not happen with Internet Explorer which leads me to believe this is an issue with Firefox. I downgraded to 3.5 and the issue still persists.

Can Motion 5 replace a green screen and blue screen in the same shot?

Can Motion 5 replace a green screen and blue screen in the same shot? I would like to replace a green screen with one image, and a blue screen with another.

Fox gives a good example for keying green & blue (or any other color) from the same shot. I'd suggest doing a few things to get better accuracy.
First, the motion keyer always removes the color it detects the most of by default (blue/green). You can override this by setting the Strength parameter to zero, then use the Color sample tool to select the color you want. The advantage is motion will do a good job of targeting only the hue (color) that you want to remove and set an appropriate starting softness. It also will remove spill based on this color. Looking at Fox's example movie and the shot, I'd approach the same shot this way:
Remove the Blue
1. Apply the keyer and set the strength to zero.
2. Use the Sample Color tool and select the blue (or other color) to be removed.
3. Decrease the spill level (if needed). In Fox's example the spill from the blue glasses is going to be minimal, especially compared to the green screen, your shot may need different adjustments. Only de-spilling what you need to will give you more accurate color right away and minimize additional color correction that might be needed later.
4. Use the Color selection tools (Chroma wheel/Luma bar) to fine tune. Ideally you want a minimal tolerance, the inner selection, with a nice fall off, the outer selection. Try with the Scrub boxes setting first, then switch to manual if you need more control. Again see Fox's example.
Remove Green
It's the same as the blue, you could apply the keyed to the same clip or a parent group, at this point it's many user preference.
With these techniques you can remove any color from a shot or create a mask based on a color. BTW, as you are learning to use the keyer I'd highly recommend having the Color Selection open so you can see the graphs. These give you real time feedback as you make selections and changes with the Strength, Refine and Color selection tools. Watch what happens as you make selection or changes, sometimes the problem area is actually in the brightness not the color, or the softness may change more than the tolerance selection. Observing what is happening in these graphs will help you figure out wha to change and speed things up.

Problem extracting red, green and blue from ColorModel

Hi everyone,
I'm attempting to write a piece of code to extract the red, green and blue components from an image using the ColorModel class. When I attempt to run my code below, I get the following error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: More than one component per pixel. Does anyone know how to extract an integer representation of the red in a pixel in order to solve the problem? Here's the code snippet:
public void getRGBValues()
          String imageFilename = new String("C:\\Documents and Settings\\David\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\blue hills1.jpg");
         PlanarImage image = JAI.create("fileload", imageFilename);
         //Get the color model for that particular image
         ColorModel imageColorModel = image.getColorModel();
         //ints to store the appropriate values for each colour component
         int totalRed = 0;
         int totalGreen = 0;
         int totalBlue = 0;
         int averageRed = 0;
         int averageGreen = 0;
         int averageBlue = 0;
         int pixelNumber = 0;
         int pixelCount = 0;
         //Loop to extract the colour values out of each pixel in an image passed into the class
         for(int i = 0; i < image.getWidth(); i++)
              for (int j = 0; j < image.getHeight(); j++)
                   totalRed += imageColorModel.getRed(pixelNumber);
                   totalGreen += imageColorModel.getGreen(pixelNumber);
                   totalBlue += imageColorModel.getBlue(pixelNumber);
                   pixelCount++;
                   pixelNumber++;
              pixelCount++;
              pixelNumber++;
         averageRed = Math.round(totalRed / pixelCount);
          averageGreen = Math.round(totalGreen / pixelCount);
          averageBlue = Math.round(totalBlue / pixelCount);
          System.out.println("Average red is " + averageRed);
          System.out.println("Average green is " + averageGreen);
          System.out.println("Average blue is " + averageBlue);
}

You are misunderstanding the ColorModel methods. The color model can translate between colors and pixels, but it doesn't know or hold pixel data.
I don't know the JAI, but if you use J2SE classes like BufferedImage, this is easy to do:
BufferedImage im = ImageIO.read(input);
int argb = im.getRGB(x, y);
int r = 0xff & (argb>>16);
int g = 0xff & (argb >>8);
int b = 0xff & argb;

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

Screen covered with green and blue pixels (visible on dark colors)

Hello,
I have this tablet since beginning of April, and since few days I've noticed the little dots on the top of the screen.
From far away it looks like dust behind the screen, but by having a closer look, it's like pixels that stay green and blue when the rest of the image is dark.It's very visible when I'm using the tablet with no lights around me. i've tried to restart the tablet, and even when It's loading with the SONY sign, I have that! what should I do ? Did people had that issue before ?
(BTW, The screen is also unresponsive when plugged to charge)

I encounter the same problem. I bought my Z2 tablet 16GB from the Singapore Sony Store. I got it for one month and the same pixel problem appeared. I send it in for servicing at the Singapore Sony care centre at 313 somerset outlet.. One week went by and nothing happened. The service was bad, no reply from the customer care or technician. They gave me a website so i can check the status of the servicing but all it shown on the page was pending.. one full week and still pending. I had to call them once and asked them what happened, the Sony personal over the line could only say they can check and get back to me. The next day i called again to check if any technician has even start and immediately right after that they called me to go down to collect. Turn out they are giving me a new tablet. And the screen protector was not refund to me as they said that the device was still in the service centre.. had to buy a new one for myself. Such a disappointment in the servicing.. and now the current one i am holding as the same freaking problem.. also i notice the corners of the screen has some yellowish hue.

Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it. See below for how to clone a drive.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
You may be able to backup your data if you have an erased external drive you can use. Before you do the above but after you have opened Disk Utility you can try to clone your drive:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
       it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
      the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Now this will only work if the drive is accessible and can be cloned by Disk Utility. Otherwise, you would need to access your drive from another Mac that you can connect via Firewire - Target Disk Mode.

Why am I getting a red and blue haze over my oil paint filter effect in photoshop cs6?

Why am I getting a red and blue haze over my oil paint filter effect in photoshop cs6? I am currently using a trial version.

The last time someone reported this problem with Oil paint, the fix was to go Preferences (Ctrl k) > Performance and set the cache levels to something other than '1'. If you cache levels were not previously set to 1 then we'll need to think again.
