When copying an image of a person onto a...

beach, what layer style would you normally use? How about a soft edge drop shadow? I can't decide if it looks ok. I have feathered it before I pasted it, but it still looks like it's been 'stuck on'.

Louise,
If you simply want to extract an object from pic 1 and place it in pic2 here's what Barb & I are trying to describe:
Use the various selection tools to select the object. Copy this to the clipboard via Edit>Copy (Ctrl-C). Open pic 2, create the blank layer, make sure the blank layer is activated, and Edit>Paste (Ctrl-V). Actually you don't even need to create the blank layer; the paste will automatically create the blank layer with the object.

How to copy an image from a photo onto another photo

Im trying to figure out how to cut and paste an image from one photo onto another. I tried exporting the main photo to a pages document and then inserting the other image, but cant seem to get it to work. Is there an easy way to do this?

You'll need an image editor for the job:
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
_[The Gimp|http://www.gimp.org/macintosh>_ also free
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
[Pixelmator|http://www.pixelmator.com> ($60 approx.)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

TM Backup failed with error: 11 - when copying Movie, image, music files

TM giving backup errors (for a long time unsolved until I read forum entry about monitoring events with Console prog.) Recently upgraded from 10.5.4 to 10.5.6 with Combo package (attempts at upgrade to 10.5.5 failed with "unknown error")
I narrowed down to the file types listed by excluding relevant erring folders. TM backup works OK now but without Movies, Photos, Music and small number of applications that appear to fail mainly on copying an image within appl.
Using Console with "backupd" filter on LOG FILES/system.log (while executing TM backup) gives the following 4 samples of errors:

Yeah, many of us would love it! But no such thing exists, at least not that us mere mortals can find.
There might be another variable that I don't understand right now but at least it is consistent.
Could it be something funky in the name of one of the folders? Or could the folder object itself be corrupt? Or have some odd extended attribute?

How to copy DNG images from MacBook Pro onto a flashdrive and paste them into my pictures on my iMac

When I tried to do this, I couldn't get the image on the flashdrive to open in photoshop. Each time I tried I got a message that said photoshop had crashed. When the flashdrive is plugged into the MacBook the image files look like images. When the flashdrive is plugged into my new iMac (Maverick) the image files just show the DNG icon. Both computers have the Creative Cloud.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
So, you can see your whole iTunes folder on the memory stick after copying from the PC?

Maintaining custom sort order when copying between albums

Is there any way that you folks have discovered to maintain the custom sort order of the images in an album when copying these images into a another album? Duping the album is not an answer, as I need to collate the contents of a number of albums into one.
I tried selecting the contents of the album that I had just done the custom sorting in, and making it into one big stack, to try to move that to keep the order. Aperture informed me that stacking only works on images from one project.
OK, since I now know this fact about stacking, is there any good way to merge projects? I have a ton of work on the images in the individual projects, and don't want to redo anything.
Anyway, hope you get the problem, any help will be appreciated.

ou must have an older iPod.
I believe the new sort order only works on the new iPods (Nano and Video)

Double Images when copied to CD

I have an album of photos which I copied to CD in the following manner. I made a folder on my desktop and dragged (I may have exported them from iPhoto instead of dragging but at the moment I am not sure which I used) 68 photos to the folder. I then copied the folder to a CD and then burnt it. When I try to show it on a DVD player which plays CD jpeg images, it shows 119 photos. When it lists the jpeg's I find that about 49 of them are doubled up, ie: img1867, 1mg1868, etc and there is a total of 119 jpegs show up. When the CD is played, a blank screen appears on the double image, which stays on screen for quite some time, therefore ruining the effect of the images.
The strange thing is, that when I put that disc into my eMac, it only shows 68 images in the folder. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.
PS One thing that I wonder about is that my digital camera had a numbering system that went up to 9,999. I have since gone over that mark, therefore I do have images that are starting to duplicate the original numbers in my iPhoto library. Also, my camera seems to be reverting to zero at times when I download a new set and I therefore have image numbers that are doubling and tripling up. I have my iPhoto library arranged by date, so I presume that is keeping the photos sorted properly even though there are similar image numbers.

I have made another CD following your directions, ie: Make folder on desktop, drag photos from album into folder. I then dragged the images from the folder onto the CD and proceeded to burn it. When I tried playing it on my DVD player through a TV, it again doubled many of the images. (There should have been 68 images from the folder, but the readout on the TV (from the DVD player) indicates 119). I tried a CD that a Windows friend had burned with jpeg images on it and it performed flawlessly. One thing I did notice, was that the title of the Windows CD came up on screen, ie: 'Rockies 2005' along with the listing of the jpeg images, when the Stop button was pressed on the remote. Howevever in mine, the word (Root) in brackets appeared in lieu of a name. Would this be indicative of something? An error also comes up on screen 'Corrupt File'. So, the same problem exists. I hope there may still be Hope?! Thanks Peter and Bri. Cheers.

Would cleaning out the preferences help Appleworks to run smoother? I noticed that was suggested in an earlier post.
Peggy's reply is spot on. Deleting the preferences won't make AppleWorks run smoother and it's not something you should do regularly. It's only a troubleshooting remedy - if the preference files are corrupted then it causes strange behaviour with AppleWorks.
The reason deleting your recent items makes AppleWorks smoother is because AppleWorks is programmed to check them regularly. And if there's a lot of them, then it takes AppleWorks a long time to check them. This causes AppleWorks to 'run a bit rough' – it's not just handling your typing, formatting, etc but also chasing up documents on your hard drive.
Hope the explanation helps a bit.

Can anyone tell me how to upload a url to an image onto facebook the way you could with a pc. Recently switched over to Mac and this is one thing I can't seem to figure out. Basically in Windows you could right click on an image, click copy the image url

I've recently switched over to a Mac and before in Windows on a pc if you wanted to post an image on facebook you would right click the image you found on the post you wanted to share, then click copy url. You'd simply take that url and put it into the facebook post when uploading an image and that's all. Can not seem to find a way to do it now, other than saving the image to the computer and then uploading that which is not what I want to do. I've searched and searched but can't seem to find a solution other then posting in Parallels Window.
Any suggestions??

Thanks brody, I had been able to do that but on my business fb page I often post images and put in the links myself in the descriptions. In Windows you're able to post images by simply pasting in the url but on the Mac I'd have to download someone's image which I'm not comfortable doing so I find myself switching back and forth between the Mac and Windows.
This link explains what I'm trying to do on the Mac probably in a less confusing way than I just did: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57496509-285/quickly-upload-photos-to-facebo ok-by-pasting-the-image-url/

CS6 AI hangs when trying to directly copy an image into CS6 PS

Hi All
Firstly thanks for taking the time to read this.
I have a few users which are all experiencing the same issue. They didn't seem to have this issue until upgrading from CS5 to CS6.
Basically AI stops responding (usually permanantly hangs and requires restarting app) for at least 30 seconds when trying to copy an image from AI into PS. The method they're using is to directly select the image from AI and then simply paste directly into PS (I know there are other methods of doing this but this is apparently the way they have always done it).
Their machines are very well spec'd
OS - Win7 64-bit
RAM - 8 to 32GB!
CPU - i7 INTEL
GPU - Standard (but compatible) and has latest drivers but disabled by PS as i suspect it's not quite grunty enough?
Win7 has been fully updated as well as all Adobe products / Drivers etc...
I have tweaked both AI & PS (including the File Handling & Clipboard setting which enables AICB) for better performance.
I think I have basically tried everything and confused as this wasn't a problem when they were using CS5?
Am not a design expert at all so would appreciate any suggestions anyone may have?
PS - have recreated their preferences too many times to remember too :-)
PPS - have also recreated their Windows account & created a brand new account to for testing but still does it.

Could be a scatch disk issue that is it may be the scratch disk they have selected is to fragmented or too full.
Could be a font issue even though there may not be a font involved.
Could be a font cache problem that is a font is not reacting to CS6 as well as it did to CS 5 and causing the font cache to bloat
Could be that you have trash the Illustrator settings Folder and the com.adobe.illustrator.plst and not just the preferences.
Possible if you have third party plug ins to be one wih a conflict.
Possiily there is a conflicting software no one is aware of isnlled on all the computers involved.
If you have some users that are not exppereiencing this problem then compare that computer(s) with the ones that are experiencing the problem.
All you need is one that is working well. Look for fonts being installed or used, scratch disk configuration, network settings,plug ins, applications installed or application used by the others not used by the one with no problem.
Perhaps you might think of things like what I mention that would i ahve not thought of.
Good luck.

How do I copy one image onto another image?

How do I copy one image onto another image?

Lots of ways; Use the Place command to place a file in another. Open two files and drag one to the other's window tab, drag an image from bridge onto an open file. Open an image, press ctrl/cmd-A to select all, the ctrl/com-C to copy the image, the ctrl/cmd-V to paste it into another image.

When copying or duplicating files, some images move

I'm using CS5 and CS5.5.
When copying or duplicating In-Design files, some of the images move slightly within the image frame while others
are perfectly fine. This doesn't happen every time, appears totally random, and can be rectified by relinking the images
in the original document and the new document.
Has anyone had a similar problem and if so are there any solutions?
Many thanks

When copying raw files from Extreme IV card to hardrive, finder copies a few files then exits task and wipes the card clean of all images.

When copying raw files from Extreme IV card to hardrive, finder copies a few files then exits task and wipes the card clean of all images. Have tried new card and card-reader to no avail. Have done this many times on other macs with no problems.
Can edit files off the card, in CameraRaw, prior to 'copying' them, ie can 'save as' to the hard drive, so files seem okay on card, before I try to copy them using copy and paste.
Running OS 10.8.3 on a new macbook pro.

Rita,
The process for determining what is causing the files to be corrupt can be a tedious one depending on the following:
1. Can you review the images on your camera's LCD screen without problems? If not then the problem is most probably either a corrupted/faulty memory card or a faulty camera. If this is the case then your best bet at recovery (of sorts) is to use a program such as BrezzeBrowser from BreezeSys to extract the embedded jpeg versions of the corrupted RAW files from within each RAW file. Chances are, you won't manage to actually repair the corrupted RAW file but the jpegs are better than nothing.
2. If the images review ok on your camera but are corrupted when viewing on your computer and there seems to be no other problem with other files on your computer then it may be either a faulty card reader or usb/firewire cable between the card reader and the computer that is the culprit. Try the card reader with a different cable and also try a different card reader to determine the cause of the corruption.
3. If your symptoms are that you get different files corrupting over time when viewing them on your computer then the problem may be any one of either failing RAM memory, hard disk, hard disk controller or IDE/SATA hard disk cables. This is where the troubleshooting can be pretty tedious testing then eliminating each item from the list of suspicious pieces of hardware. Try the card and card reader on an altogether different computer to see if the files transfer correctly to that computer. If so then the problem lies with your computer hardware. If you haven't already done so at this stage, backup all your important data immediately (hopefully you keep backs anyway).
Hope this helps.

When dragging an image onto a fresh canvas, the resizing feature presnaps the image into the canvas size. I can confirm that this has not happened to me in previous projects. I've also tested this problem by making a new larger document size and dragging

When dragging an image onto a fresh canvas, the resizing feature presnaps the image into the canvas size. I can confirm that this has not happened to me in previous projects. I've also tested this problem by making a new larger document size and dragging in the same render. It snaps again. I don't want to re-size from the canvas dimensions, I want to resize from the render's original dimensions.
