Blow-up details in an image creation

Hi all.

Total newbie here Illustrator - I am technical writer who needs a graphic, but not an artist to work with.

I need to create a chart based on a screenshot of a user interface visually busy. To keep his friends on the page, the screenshot should be expanded down too small to be readable, so I want to provide expanded individual details. Like that, but showing a GUI instead of a hardware control panel:

Blow-up-of-detail.png

I got halfway to my goal after reading parts of the Illustrator User Guide, watch parts of a video on Lynda.com and try the procedures that I found online. So:

  1. I placed the screenshot on layer 1.
  2. I copied the layer 1, so I have two identical layers, each containing the screenshot.
  3. On layer 2, I created a mask for a detail of the screenshot.
  4. I stepped up the hidden item.
  5. Then I saw that the two layers were hidden and entartres. I thought I might have an impact on only Layer 2, but the two screenshots are identically affected.

What Miss me? How to detach the second layer of the first? A single procedure mentioned an icon of the chain in the transparency Panel, but I do not see this icon.

I'm using CS5, in an environment of Win 7.

Thank you for all the suggestions and advice.

Nancy,

I'm afraid you have the selected original work when you put on the scale.

Moreover, there is no need of two layers, you can simply select works of original art, then Ctrl + C + F, and then create the clipping mask and move as you wish, then add the parts needed to connect.

  • improve detail in an image

    Hello im new to the Forum and I have adobe photoshop 8.0 elements. and I have some images I'd like to improve. But first how can I put the images in full resolution not to 36% the size and how would I go zooming without pixelation and improvement of details in the picture? What are the best tools to do?

    any help appreciated

    Thank you

    Kevin

    For the first, I did the following:

    1. Improve the menu > unsharp mask. Quantity = 100, radius = 1.2, threshold = 1
    2. Got the tool sharpness (R) from the Toolbox, force set at 50% on the tool options bar and "painted" selectively the METALLIC looking for emblems
    3. Air fingers blown, so open a white layer at the top, sampled the color of the skin from an adjacent area with the eyedropper tool, and then with the Brush tool paints bleached-looking fingers.
    4. Filter > noise > add noise, I added a bit of noise to the layer created to step #3

    For the third:

    Enhance > adjust lighting > shadows / highlights. He worked the 3 sliders, contrast halftone esp.

    Use steps 1 & 2 such as defined above.

  • On the detail page dynamic image gallery

    I have a page master listing 8 products. I inserted a picture gallery dynamic on the details page that looks ok, but has a major flaw: when you click on a thumbnail for the main picture opens on the wrong page. for example if you click on the page... dragons.php? id = 3 the main image opens on... /dragons.php/ID=1 and shows the following url:.../dragons.php?image=btf.jpg (or whatever the name of the image file).

    I have just started using php and I would appreciate some advice on how to solve this problem.

    The following are the relevant sections of the code?

    I think I see what is the problem. If I understand correctly, you get the thumbnails to the right when the page is loaded first from the master page, but not when you click on a thumbnail.

    What is happening now is that $_GET ['id'] is defined when the page reloads after clicking on a thumbnail. Thus, you must add the correct ID in the miniature link like this:

    So, I put together a web page that lists the products and allows a user to buy. I think that since I do the database from scratch, it might be a good idea to actually make a functional page for downloading data: (each product will have a photo, dimensions, price, identification number, description and inventory number). I also need to understand how to keep the photos on the right with the right boxes.

    Is it a good idea to try to make a functional page for all my input data, or is it better to enter just on mySQL normally?

    Can I upload a photo to a mySQL database? If this isn't the case, I put a tag < img src > in mySQL?

    Hello

    What you're talking about is a CMS. Building a (s) functional page to do this is the recommended method, and even if there are many 3rd party and open versions source around my personal opinion is: When can I build myself.

    You can upload your images on the database using the sql BLOB, but my personal preference is to just insert the path of the image file in the database.

  • Lost details and black when you export the final image

    Hi guys,.

    Recently when I finish editing a picture in LR5, I noticed that the detail of the image have been tarnished down and blurry when it was open in the develop module.

    Ive double checked everything from the color space, image format, quality level, even tried to download one of the images exported on my site in the hope that it was something wrong with the preview, but it looks the same.

    Only other thing I noticed when I discover the image in 'library' mode, it loses detail as well as the exported version. Only when its in "develop" mode is when it shows the real detail and treated quickly blacks I upgraded. And it didn't used to do this. So Im hoping that I've accidentally changed a button and it didn't...

    If anyone has information or can point me in the right direction of something that can help solve the problems or solve this problem, I would really appreciate any info!

    The library and export modules use a more accurate algorithm that the module development of resizing. Normally the previews of module development and library will look nearly identical to the less than 1:1 Zoom mode (i.e. Fit view). When they are not it is generally an indication that excessive sharpening and/or insufficient Luminance Noise Reduction is applied to the image. This causes the image to appear "lighter" and "weaker" in the library module and files for export because of excessive noise. The overview of the develop module uses a faster (less accurate) resizing algorithm in order to avoid the 'delay' when the adjustment slider. This can cause the image to appear sharper and less noisy that the library module overview to the Zoom display settings lower than 1:1 Zoom.

    As Jao vdL mentioned, 'ONLY to touch the sliders detail with zoom 1:1 to develop. ' The library module previews need to be "rebuilt" after setting in the development of a set of images module. You can do this by clicking on the image in the library module (Zoom 1:1 mode) or by selecting ALL images edited using menu library > previews > Build Standard or 1:1 previews.

    This set of pictures were probably shot with an higher in the camera ISO setting (> 800 ISO). High ISO images usually require a 25 Luminance Noise reduction setting, or even higher if the image file is underexposed.

    What is ISO for these image files display.

    I'm not a user of the Canon system, so I'm not familiar with their cameras. But I googled your resolution and found a link.

    http://www.learn.USA.Canon.com/resources/articles/2011/eos_qt_small_raw_images_article.htm lp

    Apparently, you pull something Canon mRAW calls, which is a 10.5MP raw file designed for 4 K devices. In other words, you set your camera to produce small size raw files, less than half of a JPEG full size. Then you use Camera Raw to artificially enlarge these files in order to compensate by using a workflow setting widens. I hope that I don't need to explain the futility in this!

    You need to go back to your camera settings, consult the manual and find out how to produce full raw files standard size. This way you do not throw in detail and then the creation of extensions pixelated.

    In short, your camera settings are wrong to produce raw files full size. You are then enlarge the images of 2.4 times and that is why they have air c * p.

    You must change the setting of the camera RAW, and therefore you should not expand in Camera Raw.

  • How to find the image of an image file type

    This has been posted on the LabView forum by mistake yesterday, please excuse the double post.

    I am trying to open a JPEG image.  If I don't know the type of image (8U, 16I, GrayscaleSingle,... etc)... is it possible to find this information?

    If you open the file using IMAQ ReadFile... you will need to provide an Image create to allocate space... the entry specifies a type to read... but if the type of the stored data is not the type specified in the read file that is read the file as type specified, or the file does not all input values... (and no error is produced).

    Examples:

    Store a JPEG image single Percision floating point.

    Use a Creat file to specify that the file is read with the following types... with the following results

    Specified type Type reading resulting image

    U8 U8 8 bit image appears

    16I                               16I

    Hummer1,

    There are two methods to achieve this:

    (1) IMAQ GetFileInfo, who has quite a few outings involving details of the image.

    (2) read the JPEG file, which you can ungroup the image data to obtain the depth of the image, or other attributes of output.

    I would recommend the IMAQ function, because it is more detailed.

    Hope this helps

  • On the image in print quality

    Sometimes, you will notice that when you print an image it does not appear as expected, the colors are just a little off - step as vibrant as you want it to. There is a reason for that, and that's because when you transfer an image on your computer the colors for the image change slightly.

    In the real world and in printing, the colors come from three primary colors - Cyan (light blue), Magenta (Pink) and yellow.  Then there is black which gives depth and a sound signal (CMYK).  However, on your computer screen, you're dealing with a different method. Most of the screens are made up of small LEDs that flash at very high speed to give you the colors you see. These diodes are blue, red and green (RGB).

    Now, these two color combinations are very similar, this is why there is not a radical change, and for some, this change might not be noticeable. Here is an example of printing from the computer-

    While this image is superb, the tones in some areas are a little more muted due to how the file was subtly shifted from CMYK to RGB. Now, you can find the details of this image by carefully creating presets for photo through various programs that essentially make up for this change, but there are other easier methods, I found.

    The first of them is to use ePrint. If you have a printer with web functionality, send the photo via email diretly to the printer cancels the transition and renders the image as it was originally. Not all printers have this feature, but it is becoming more common on many newer models often.

    The other method is one that you can use your printer directly if you have a card reader / USB port. Imbernon or load the image on one of these devices you can print again directly avoiding the color conversion. This will give your images a more pristine quality. Take a look at the same image printed directly from a USB key.

    Just a little more dynamic and has just a touch more in detail. To get the best quality and results, sometimes it requires outside the box thinking. Generally this method will provide you with great results without any necessary error.

    However, it is important to note that if you want to convert or use a format other than .jpg, it won't work, and you try to change the settings on the program that you use to compensate for the shift in color.

    I hope this information is useful to you guys, if you have any questions contact me for more help!

  • Image recording is not real but device works perfectly on emulator

    Hi guys, I use the JDE 4.6.1. I would like to keep an image uploaded to the file system and retrieve it later. Something like a caching option. Everything works perfectly on the Simulator, but when I install it on the device, it does not work. Here's the code,

    private StringBuffer Imagedirectory = new StringBuffer(System.getProperty("fileconn.dir.photos"));
    
    FileConnection fc = (FileConnection)Connector.open(Imagedirectory.toString(),Connector.READ_WRITE);
    
                    if(!fc.exists()){
                        Util.getWebData(url, this);
                    }else{            
    
                        byte[] data = getData(fc);
    
                        bitmap = EncodedImage.createEncodedImage(data, 0,
                                data.length);

                        }
                        setImage(bitmap);
     }
    

    This is where I get the data of the file

    private byte[] getData(FileConnection file)
        {
            byte[] data = new byte[0];
            try

                 byte[] buffer = new byte[SIZE];
                 while (true)
                 {
                   int bytesRead = input.read( buffer, 0, SIZE );
                   if (bytesRead == -1) break;
                   byteArrayOutputStream.write( buffer, 0, bytesRead );
                 }
                 data = byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray();
                 byteArrayOutputStream.flush();
                 byteArrayOutputStream.close();
    
            }
            catch(Exception e)
            {

            }
            return data;
    
        }
    

    This is where I write the image to a file,

    private void writeFile(byte[] data, String fileName)

    Help, please.

    Thanks much for the reply.

    I found the problem, the byte array which I was the analysis was not proper, so I created the image first and after that used the information bytes of that to save the image. Here is the solution.

     public void callback(final String data)
        {
            if (data.startsWith("Exception")) return;  
    
            try
            { 
    
                byte[] dataArray = data.getBytes();
                bitmap = EncodedImage.createEncodedImage(dataArray, 0,
                        dataArray.length);
    
                if(this.width !=0 && this.height !=0){
                    bitmap = ScaleImageToSize(bitmap, this.width,this.height);
                }
                setImage(bitmap);           
    
                if(isWriteImage()){
    
                    System.out.println("Before writing the image");
                    writeFile(bitmap.getData(), Imagedirectory.toString());
                    System.out.println(Imagedirectory);
                    System.out.println("Image written - Operation Successful");
                }
    
            }
            catch (final Exception e){
                System.out.println("Image Creation Failed");
            }
        }
    

    The problem was because I was the array of bytes of the string of variable data analysis. No idea why this caused a problem?
