canvas size changes with the size of the image

I am just placing several small pictures on a postcard.  When I go to change the size of the image, it narrows the whole canvas.

Is there some sort of setting I need to uncheck?  I don't do anything with the size of the canvas.  I want it to stay the same.

Thank you

As nickna12 said, if the resolution of the picture you want to insert in the model is less than the resolution of the model, it will be re-size to fit the resolution of the new location.

To insert images without having to worry about the size or resolution: insert images into the postcard file, each on a separate layer and transform each layer in dynamic object (right click on the layer containing each picture and select convert to smart object). In this way, you can resize images from top to bottom and upward once again without worrying about degrading image quality.  On each layer, use the recommended that Noel command (Edit - transform - scale or Edit - free transform) to re - scale each image as you wish. You can use the move tool (black arrow) to move each image in place.

If you want to "away from the cultures' parts of the inserted picture, you can do so with a layer mask.  One way to do that is:

  • Select the layer with the image that you want to "crop".
  • Add a layer mask: layer - layer mask - reveal all the (adds a layer mask filled with white, so that you can always see your image)
  • Select the layer mask in the layers panel
  • Use a tool like the rectangular selection tool to select the part of your image that you wish to be visible.
  • Invert the selection: Select - Inverse. This selects everything except the part of the image you want to remain visible.
  • Fill the selection with black to hide it away: Edit - fill - (select black as the fill color)
  • Get rid of the selection: select - deselect

You can use the move tool to move your image hidden anywhere you want on your postcard.  If you decide you want it is larger or smaller, you can use the Edit - Transform command to resize it, rotate, etc.

In Photoshop, there are always several ways to accomplish tasks, and there may be better ways to achieve this way

    Is it possible to make a reflection of the image that will change with the image?

    I believe that a dynamic object will solve your problem.

    Place your original image to a new file as a smart object and do the same for reflection (made by processing, reducing the opacity and introduce a slight blur horizontal) on its own layer, then:

    by double clicking on the smart object in the layers panel and return to the original image, any change in the original and save, automatically update the vertical image and its reflection.

  • Title change with the selection of mode selector

    Hello Experts,
    I have a report that is divided into three different reports and I use a selector to display for the three reports, the title needs to change with the selection of the report, and I gave the name of view as selector select the report. I was wondering if there is a way to do it. I tired adding @{select report} in the title, but it does not work. Please notify.

    Thank you

    user1146711 wrote:
    I have this setup already in place and I want the title to change with the selection in the view.

    Why it is not working? The view selector simply selects the name of the reports. When selected, the composed page should show the title of the actual report, which will be different for each view because they are exemplary.

    I'm not at work so I can't test this, but if you have successfully copied the title of the view and any copies, when you change a all the changes; then maybe the works of title as the Table view. If this is true, use the display of the title, but rather to use the view of the narrative and follow my steps above. See if it works.

  • How can we change all the images in the import of ref file to copy into the doc?

    Y at - it an easy way to change all the images in a file 'import by reference' to 'copy in the document '?

    The way I currently have to do is delete and re-import and resizing an image at a time and even in a

    single document with 30 images, this can take forever! Surely it more soon than that?

    My company has always used the "Import by reference" option when you add images to our frame documents.

    But things have moved on and we are now a global business and send a large number of these files to our sister sites.

    E mailing 1 file is much more logical to emailing file 1 framework and 40 image files, especially when files

    are in a different folder structure.

    ACE,

    You have a lot of good advice here on best practices, but I don't think that someone at - it answered your question. The answer is no, there is no way easy, unless you have access to the FrameScript or the FDK.

  • failure to communicate with the image drum?

I tried a reset to the default settings, but unfortunately that has no effect when the firmware has been updated.

    For a policy like that, you will need to separate forms of letter (white) from their shadows. It will, therefore, describe the type and transparent records release.

  • Major change in the image in the transition to the 2012 process

    When I change process 2012 on an image that was worked on in 2010 I see a big change in the image, much brighter, less contrast.

    What happens here? Somewhat closely preserve the old look while updating the process?

    Also I was wondering what the new 2012 process brings to the image, outside access to the new tools.

    I see a better (or just different) rendering the image from older files?

    It depends... PV 2012 can keep the highlight of the textures very much, much better that highlight recovery could in PV 2010. Shadows does a much better job of increasingly darker tones. The ranges of the different fundamental controls are now Adaptive image which means you can make changes more easily. The new PV 2012 clarity is no longer produced strong halos and is 2 x the strength.

    Yes, images can indeed seem different when it is converted, usually for the better due to new adjustments. And Yes, it takes a while to adapt to the way the new controls work. But as Lee Jay said, do not expect a 1:1 correspondence in conversions...

  • Rendering of the canvas deteriorates proportionately with the size?

    Can someone explain to me how I can avoid the drop in performance of drawing on a canvas, as its size grows?
    What is the reason for this?

    Run even on a canvas runs more slowly, as the canvas size.

    It also seems that, despite "dirty zone" rendered using JavaFX technology, rendering the scene becomes slower as the size of nodes increases (e.g.: the canvas).
    even if most of it is off-screen. Speed is acceptable when the canvas completely fills my screen size, then the entire screen should already be redrawn.
    but as I increase the size, so the node/canvas already extends outside of the window, made performance continuously decreases as the node expands.

    It is corrected, when setCache (true) is applied.
    However, this does NOT improve drawing performance on the Web, where low latency is essential for a painting application.
    Who seems to be involved, as the documentation advises NOT to Cache, if the node changes frequently.
    Surprisingly then, still cached to True on the Web currently drawn on, more CacheHint = SPEED, seems to improve a little speed.

    Anyway, back to the question: why is based on a painting becomes slower with the size, although the same race, covering the same amount of area, is performed?

    My apologies if I seem confused or repeated myself, I am extremely tired. Thank you in advance and good night.

    It's a beautiful Shindoh descriptive answer.  You have a talent for this sort of thing.

    Reproduce your problem

    Your application does not work even on my machine (Java 8u5, Win 7, 64 bit, ATI Radeon HD 4600), except if I drop the size of the canvas to 8Kx8K (probably because I use an older graphics with capabilities of textures limited).  I drop the size of the canvas, I noticed improvements in performance that outline you, 8 k is really slow to update and pretty unusable at 1 K being quite catchy.

    The exception I get a canvas of 10Kx10K is =>

    A few suggestions

    10Kx10K is a very large canvas.

    Creation of such a thing is a really a kind of brute force solution.

    I think that you would need to get smarter about manage you such situations.

    In my view, relying on the library to manage the optimization of these paintings is not the way to go.

    Of course, the library can handle OK, but your tests show otherwise, so you'll have to work on a different solution.

    What you can do, is take some knowledge of the specific area of your application to help optimize the use of the canvas so that you can get with a smaller canvas.

    For example, consider the technique involved in the drafting of an engine of tile in JavaFX. It is average for the rendering of graphics games such as Pokemon or Zelda on a canvas, old-school style.  There is a support data format that is the TileMap, there are control logic that keeps track of the coordinates of the currently visible TileMap and there is a rendering engine that makes just the coordinates of tile currently visible on the screen.  You can apply a similar approach to your application - this would allow you to limit the size of the canvas limited to just the size of the portion of the visible screen.  Of course the nature of TileMaps make them especially well optimized for this approach, so the solution is not directly transferable to your application.

    Another project that demonstrates rendering an area almost infinitely great is the Grezi project that defines a JavaFX zoomable user interface, although it uses the SceneGraph and not canvas for this.

    The question may be "why should I should I put the extra mention, more complex logic in my code to draw effectively on a canvas? ' that is ' Why can't the library take care of these things for me?  I think the answers are:

    1. the current implementation of the Web on various platforms may not completely optimized for the treatment of the dirty area and overflow in the visible region to the areas off the screen.

    2. the implementation of the Web cannot make use of any domain specific design optimizations that your application may be familiar with.

    3. you qualify for an architecture of MVC type for your design in any case.

    4. the needs of canvas to deliver a very versatile solution that makes it work well in many situations, but may be not optimal for your particular situation.

    See for example-online the best optimizer is between your ears.

    You might want to try another option is to use the SceneGraph instead of a canvas.  The optimization of the library around the larger scene graphs and area sale/offscreen surface treatment can be more effective in the case of SceneGraphs compared to paintings, particularly in the case of graphs of scene quite sparsely populated.

    No matter what you do, if you want to render the box for 4 K screens, I think that JavaFX (and even some of his other computer pipeline components such as native libraries, drivers graphic, material interfaces screen etc), are not particularly well optimized for the treatment of these high resolutions at the moment.  This is likely to change over time, but expect problems of teeth if you try to make these resolutions at the moment.

    Another thing that I remember is that, to a lesser degree, JavaFX makes often content to the textures on a video card.  Most video cards have some sort of limit to the maximum size of texture and when this limit is reached, to do a layer of additional conversion somewhere in the library code that maps the content to several textures video card and when this way of rendering is called, things slow down significantly.  This limit may be generally around 8Kx8K 4Kx4K (I'm not sure).

    My guess is that this is probably not the answer you wanted ;-)

  • A script to increase the minimum canvas size? (Like Image to adjust, but with just my canvas)

    First to be clear, I'm looking to manipulate the size of the canvas. No image size.

    I want to create a script to automatically increase the width and the height of my canvas in Photoshop to a size specific, when necessary. I don't want that to happen if my canvas is smaller than the specified size. For example: Let's say my canvas size is 300 x 250. I want the Web to be at LEAST 600 x 600. If I run my action, it will increase the size of the canvas to 600 x 600 for me. If I run this same script on an image where the size of the canvas is already 700 x 700, it did nothing for her because the width and height are equal to or greater than the size of my target.

    She will also work with the height and width on an individual basis. If my image is 400 x 800, the action would increase my width of 400 to 600, but he let the height of 800 only. If the final canvas size will eventually be 600 x 800.

    It's a bit like the option 'Adapter the Image' in Photoshop, but I want only to manipulate the size of my canvas, NOT the size of my image.

    You can try this:

    // resize canvas in either direction if it is below a defined minimum;
    // 2011; use it at your own risk;
    #target photoshop
    if (app.documents.length > 0) {
    var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
    // set to pixels;
    var originalRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
    app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
    // set the minimum values;
    var minWidth = 600;
    var minHeight = 600;
    // get current ones;
    var theWidth = myDocument.width;
    var theHeight = myDocument.height;
    // resize canvas;
    myDocument.resizeCanvas(Math.max(minWidth, theWidth), Math.max(minHeight, theHeight), AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);
    // reset;
    app.preferences.rulerUnits = originalRulerUnits;
    };
