what i would like to do is to export each window, to separate files, with the white parts cropped. i can do it manually by using the magic wand on the white area in between, then inversing the selection. that way all the windows are selected perfectly. but to save each one as a separate file is a nuisance.
by the way the purpose of this task is to get a comic i have scanned to an ipod for viewing. i can do the cropping/resizing afterwards no troubles, it's just getting the individual 'windows' as separate files.
I am using Photoshop CS and have been assigned a rather tedious task at the office, consisting of resizing hundreds of pictures. Rather than doing them all manually, I've tried to automate the batch using a set of actions I "recorded", but for some reason all the pictures keep getting saved as the same one under a different name.
The set of actions I recorded were as follows:
-Open -> Open image file
-Image Size -> Width: xx pixels, height: yy pixels
-Save
-Close
When choosing automated batch, I choose the source folder and destination folder in an attempt to not get into a mess of naming/renaming files,
I have a plug-in that does a kinda overall correction and need to do it in batches. The problem is, when I go to make the action, I have to have an image open to open the plug-in. That's OK, but whenever I've done that, then go to Automate>Batch and select input and output folders, it uses the same image over and over.
I'm an intermediate PS user with v. CS2. I've figured out how to automate the process of changing an images file size and adding an extension to the file name but I haven't been able to figure out how to save those files using the automation process.
If I try to include the save process during my action, it will always save with that file name no matter what file it's saving.
how do I add a "save file" step to my action so I can automate this process with many images?
how can you automate the process so that photoshop always moves the layer to a certain coordiante i.e. to point X:1424 Y:2370 and not move them relatively i.e X: -372 Y: +124 but always places them to that same certain point.
I have over 600 images of trees. What I need to do is figure out the dimensions of each tree's crown (not the trunk, so select all the foliage and record the dimensions. Is there a way to automate the process so that I don't have to manually mask it or select it for each of the 600+ files or is it something I have to do manually?
In Bridge, I have a portrait orientation shot that I want marked, and I hit "8" for the green label and it changes the orientation to landscape, every time! Huh? CS2 never did that...
Can someone tell me the name of these accent, swirly things? I am looking at using them in a design and want to find some custom shapes that look like these or a font that has them.
I'm making a flash movie and I wanted to have a cookie fall into a glass of milk. I know that sounds sorta weird but its just a preview for some stuff.
Anyways I tried looking for a way to do it in flash and was unsucessful, if anyone knows a way to do it in flash that would be my prefference as I dont use Photoshop too often. However I could do it in photoshop and import it into my movie.
how to make something slightly trancelucent or even just make me a glass of milk that'd be great.
i've been using PS for ages now while i was making a new sig just i tried to write some words onto it but its not letting me write at all, even when i make a new layer nothing comes up,
I'm currently running Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Macromedia Dreamweaver MX (version 6). I want to install CS3 (full suite). Is there anything I should know before I make the upgrade? Can I install CS3 without first removing my dated versions of Dreamweaver and Photoshop?
How do I backup all of my brushes and save all of my presets and custom settings? I want to be sure that the new version of Photoshop will run all of my custom settings.
With installing CS3, will any of my Dreamweaver settings be overwritten? Will the new Dreameaver maintain my defined sites and preferences?
, theres only the layers on the menu how do i get those missing things back up?. Also, how do i re-attach it to the right side of photoshop where it starts out, no i can move it around...
Got one of those Graphics Tablets to draw with and would like some ideas of projects I could do in Photoshop using it. I'm guessing a lot of you use graphic tablets (like Wacom) in your work.
I just fool around in Photoshop, but would like to have some kind of goal instead of just minor edits and scribbling. Any ideas? What do you guys do with your tablet in PS?
how to take things from one image and place it other.
In the tutorial the guy took himself out of his his everyday photos and placed himself in photos with sceneries and people from other countries and called it his digital vacation.
Unlike most of these cheesy tutorials all of his looked like he was really there in these scenes even placed in groups of people it looked real.
I didn't even think about it then but I'd like to do some of that with pictures I have but can't for the life of me find a good tutorial on how to do it. There's so many websites anymore and most of them are just for Adsense with 100's of links.
I am trying to print things out from illustrator, but it wont print anything black! it prints colour and everything fine, but what is ment to be black comes out grey. there is nothing wrong with the printer as it prints out fine from other programmes!
When I use the art history brush at a very small size, it acts very weird. As soon as I click in the document, a bunch of snake like things appear all over. Like a bunch of little worms spreading all over the page. I've trashed my prefs, I've reset my tool, I've tried different brushes, I've checked scattering, noise, etc. in my brush settings, I've checked my blend modes, pretty everything I can think of doing, and they are still doing it.
I have been looking at posts on automating pdf creation but have seen a lot with programming / VB involved but would like to avoid that if possible. I have also seen one's on batch processing but would like to do them as needed / completed.
I am trying to somewhat automate the pdf creation process. Having them save to a specific spot / folder and having them 'plot' the same view to the pdf would be very beneficial that way we don't have to select print, print to pdf, print this view with these details, save to this folder location. etc.
A way to print DWF files using a batch file or with a command line. We use Vault and publish all our DWF's to an external shared network folder. This is a standard feature in Vault but we now would like to reference and print those files from Baan ERP using a script. Is it possible to do this using Design Review?
I work for a company who's trying to automate the production of their mechanical and electrical cad drawings. We eventually want to integrate this into our website, so that a customer can select a few options, and a detailed drawing is generated based on what they pick.
To begin with, I'm trying to integrate AutoCAD with MS Excel. I've managed to automate in excel the options a customer can choose from. Now, the tricky part is, how can I transmit information to AutoCAD to perhaps pick blocks and strategically place them in specific locations of the drawing.
For example, if I have the option of Cats, Dogs, Elephants and Monkeys, and I have the option of quantities... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and I pick 3 Monkeys and 2 Cats, I want CAD to be able to place 3 monkeys and 2 cats side by side in a row.
I have installed the auto_rotate.scm plugin. Now I need to automate a few of the procedures I regularly use it for. After I have selected the Path Tool and marked the two endpoints for the path, I use the following procedure (which is the procedure that needs to be automated):
Select: Windows/Dockable Dialogue/Paths Right click in the Paths dialogue box Select: ToolsRotate by PathLanczosOK Close the Paths dialogue box
I use this procedure a lot and I could really use for it to be automated. If possible, I'd like the activation to be as simple as pressing a hotkey.
How do you get the lines an easy way? I was wracking my brain and I just couldnt figure it out. I tried doing clouds, and making the lightning type thing then using satin for some shading etc... But it doesnt look really lasery, and i had to reduce the size alot.
I want to mass-produce some cards (like quiz cards in trivial pursuit), and I have made a image (card template) in GIMP that I want to import information to, from a excel book, that have 3 sheets in it.
I want cell A1 from sheet 1, cell A1 from sheet 2, and cell A1 from sheet 3 imported into this card layout, in 3 different text-fields, 1 field for each cell-content. So there will be 3 quiz questions on each card.
After that i want to make a serial number in another text field, going from 001 and up (this is not mandatory, but would be nice).
When all that have been done, i want the card to be exported/saved as a PNG with the serial number as the image name.
After that i want the loop to continue, importing B1 in sheet 1, B1 in sheet 2 and B1 in sheet 3.
I have a large .DWG with approximately 400 circles representing wells on it. The end goal is to draw an additional circle around each of these with a larger radius (150). Basically what I'm looking for is a way to automate this such that:
For (object 1 to last object) {if (object is a circle) draw new circle around it
I am looking at streamlining page layout configuration. When I say this, I mean that I want there to be a button, a small msg to type into command line, or any general quick shortcut, to create a new Layout based on a specific template layout that is located on my server. There will be multiple template layouts that the user has the option to choose from when creating a new one, with each layout contianing an xref title block, and a particular size . Also, I would like these to avaiable everytime I open autoCAD, regardless of the current drawing being worked on.
I've looked at Macros and Sheet Sets, but I was wondering if there was an optium way to do something like this? I realize its a failry begginger problem but I am still a begginer at autocad.
Is there any way to automate/batch the creation of words for the Keyword List?
My photos are stored on a hard disk in more than 2000 named folders. Each folder name is a keyword for the images within. I would like to create a Keyword List of the names of each folder. Since all the names are in digital form, is there any way to automate/batch the creation of words for the Keyword List?
