How to disappear the edges of a photo

I want to fade the edges of an image to match the background of my blog, so the image is not a boring rectangle. You can see the main image here and see what I mean... it looks like a generic blog header with the blocked image.

I tried to use the tool degraded, which I've used to create a reflection effect of ads and others, but had no chance in this project because it isn't spread evenly across on all sides. I consider even a rough more, as when you use the spray, to blur the edges.

Ideas or point to an existing tutorial would be much appreicated. Is there an action for enforcement of this type of effects to the images?

Blurring the edges of an image is in fact very easy...

1. take the rectangular selection tool and create a selection just inside the edges of your image.

2 click on the layer mask icon like before to hide the edges of your image.

3 then double-click on the thumbnail of the layer mask to bring up the Properties Panel - drag the slider of the feather to your liking.

I hope this helps! I'm sure that action is available online, but this is a really easy way to achieve this effect in feathers.

Having learned the names of functions, tools, panels, etc. can take some time - Fortunately, there is a Quick Photoshop reference Guide which has a database of every tool and menu contextual Photoshop has to offer. And of course, Google is a great tool for practically anything about Photoshop

    I have an image that resembles a parallelogram because when the inage has been taken there does not match the grid. How to align the edges?

    Appreciate the help.

    Different ways to do it... but without seeing an image of what you are doing then I would suggest that.

    First SNAP TO GRID.

    View > Snap To > grid

    Then

    Edit > Transform > distort

    This will allow you to move the corners and stretch the image.

  • How to select the subfolders to sync photo

    How can I select subfolders to synchronize photos from my Windows PC to my iPhone from iTunes?

    For example, I have a folder of photos called "2016" contains many different folders of different holiday and I want only to synchronize one folder, not all.

    You can choose the parent folder, and then select what first level subfolders in this folder will be included. I've broken down my main library by date in the files of the form \yyyy\yyyy-mm. For synchronization of my devices, I have a folder of images separated with a limited number of records album that I can choose for each device. These files contain copies.

  • How to use the library of small Photos on the MacBook Air

    I'm running out of space on my MacBook Air, and I prefer to store all my original photo in iCloud. How to keep the photo library on my Mac to the size of the strict minimum. Thank you.

    Are you already using iCloud photo library or you want to turn your photo into a photo library of iCloud library?

    To save storage on your Mac, select iCloud in the pictures library > Preferences > iCloud. also turn on "Optimize Mac Storage" in this Panel.

    Photos will replace originals in your library of optimized versions. But this process is dynamic. If you are short on storage, it will replace original more optimized versions. So, it will take some time, until your photo library becomes smaller. You cannot influence this process.

    A way to shrink the photo library immediately, is radical enough: wait until the first download of your photos is complete and all the pictures are on iCloud.  Make a current backup of your photo library by copying to an external drive.

    Then delete the photo library on your internal drive. Launch photos while holding down the key options and create a new empty library. This library in your system photo library and activate iCloud photo library with optimization of the storage.

    Now, all your photos will download as optimized versions and the library will be much smaller from the start.  However, it has some drawbacks.  Thumbnails of faces will be lost, also all of your projects. It will be like using your iCloud library another computer: use Photos and photo library on several Macs - Apple Support iCloud

  • How to count the edges within the great period of door?

    Hello

    I use a PXI-6624 counter/timer in Visual Studio C++ with Meassurment Studio.

    I want to count the edges on a signal within a high period of an input signal.
    I found the documentation entries "CTR n CBC", "CTR n GATE" and "CTR n to THE.

    My idea is simply configure the counter 0 to count the edges on CBC by blocking via DOOR.
    can be an example to my problem in the installation of nor, but above all I do not understand the description of landscaping.
    to find a good example, you must know the name of the function you want to use.
    can someone tell me the good examplename for my problem?
    What call configuration should I use?

    a little less important than my first problem is a similar.
    I want to count the edges on a signal between a start trigger and a relaxing stop.
    SRC-> signal
    DOOR-> start signal
    To THE-> the stop signal

    I found a way to count the edges of the internal clock between start and stop (2 Seperation of edge), but not for an external signal.

    can someone help me with this? especially with the first.

    Hi John,.

    Thank you for your help. It works very well.

    I had a few problems with how the timebaseSource should be implemented.

    Finally, I found the solution.

    for those who do not want to search long for the code, it is here:

    Create the task
    CNiDAQmxTask ("CITask") m_task;

    Create the meter inlet channel
    m_task. CIChannels.CreatePulseWidthChannel ("PXI1Slot16/ctr0", "",)
    atof (minimum), atof (maximum), startingEdge,
    DAQmxCIPulseWidthUnitsTicks);

    Retrieve the channel to change

    CNiDAQmxCIChannel chan is m_task. CIChannels.GetAll ();

    Fix the DOOR Signal
    Chan. SetPulseWidthTerminal("/PXI1Slot16/PFI38");

    The value of the Signal SOURCE counton
    Chan. CounterTimebaseSource = ' / PXI1Slot16/PFI39 ";

    CNiDAQmxCounterReader myCounterReader (m_task. Stream);
    Double measuredWidth = myCounterReader.ReadSingleSampleDouble ();

  • make a slideshow in movie maker, how to extend the duration of a photo of a single image

    make a slideshow in movie maker, how to extend the time image (time peak is seen) a single image that is different from the default time?

    I posted the Live Movie Maker tutorial because
    your question is posted in a forum for Windows 7.

    In Vista Movie Maker 6... There are three ways
    to change the duration of a specific picture that
    is already on the timeline.

    FWIW... the change of setting to: Tools / Options /.
    Advanced... tab applies only to the added clips
    to the timeline * after * you change the setting.

    (1) you can increase or decrease the duration
    a specific image by adding an effect:

    'Speed Up, Double' cuts the duration of half.

    "Slow Down, half ' double life.

    These effects can be added up to six times.

    (2) for the timeline... you can change the
    duration for each clip manually. Move your
    pointer on on the edge of an element up to the
    you see a double arrow. Now, drag the
    double red arrow... you will see a ToolTip that
    Watch the evolution of life.

    (3) the term may photo on the timeline
    easily be doubled by simply adding another
    an instance of the same photo next to him.

  • How to change the resolution of a photo in photoshop for high quality printing?

    I am confused about how to check the actual resolution of an image in Photoshop.

    I understand 72 DPI is set for the web and 300 DPI is normally required for high quality printing but how do you check the dpi in Photoshop. When you go to the size and resolution of the image, it is always in pixels (ppi)? Is it the same thing as the dots per inch?

    For example. If I open a photo in Photoshop and the resolution is 72 dpi can I change this at 300ppi so that's 300 DPI when it goes to print?

    Also is there a way to check the resolution of a picture that has been placed in indesign or illustrator without opening the image in photoshop?

    Thanks in advance

    You should check up to resample it for any nationally - or down.

    If you want to convert to CMYK, you must use the correct profile, the results may not be as expected.

    CMYK profiles are dependent on the device - the press is either calibrated to a known profile (which may be available in Photoshop), or he has a profile, which you would have to get the printer.

    If you want to print an Indesign document, the recommended workflow is to export to PDF and converting CMYK when the pdf file. The CMYK range is smaller than RGB, so unless you're aware of this, you will have a few surprises.

    You cannot print very saturated colors with CMYK and blues often come different looking than RGB.

    If you configure the Color PS with CMYK (workspace) profile settings, you can (work in RGB) press Ctrl + Y and get a glimpse of what will look like colors in CMYK. You can even edit in this mode, tweaking colors, but of course limited by the CMYK range.

    For all this to work and get good results, you must have a calibrated monitor, and it helps it of course to have a good printer, who knows what she's doing. And, if possible, be there during printing. Printing on an offset press is not like printing on your desktop printer - there are much more variable.

  • How to smooth the edges of a layer in Illustrator?

    Well, I don't know exactly how to phrase my question, but I'll do my best.

    Basically I have a drawing that was done in Photoshop and now I need to enlarge it. However, of course sometimes pixelated. So I want to put it in Illustrator and make smoother edges (is essentially four colors which do not mix, so each color is separated).

    Is it a fairly easy way to do this? I say to myself that I could either smooth the edges or become a vector. I know Photoshop and InDesign, but I haven't used Illustrator at all, so I have no idea how to do that.

    Sorry if I wasn't clear on something, please let me know. Thank you very much!

    You can also make a way to access/paths of your layer/selection in Photoshop and copy to Illie.

    It will be probably more accurate that way if you handle it right.

    Once you have pasted a path in Illie it becomes an 'object' (Illiespeak) on a layer. Illie layers can contain several objects.

    Now, all you have to do is color him (years color palettes samples).
