Creating Figures: A Basic Recipe for Image Composites Using Photoshop and PowerPoint

Photoshop vs. PowerPoint: Which one should I use?
Photoshop and PowerPoint are both very flexible applications-each is capable of performing raster image manipulation as well as text and vector editing with varying degrees of success, reliability and ease. While Photoshop is the choice for making adjustments to your raster image’s file format, resolution, size, contrast, color balance, alignment and to crop or merge images together (image editing), PowerPoint is preferred for creating figures and doing image compositing and annotation because the text and vector based annotation will remain sharp. This is not the case for these vector-based elements in Photoshop- there is a loss in quality of text and vector objects when changing file formats to non-proprietary, pixel-based formats.

Introduction to Photoshop Interface

Welcome to Adobe Photoshop 7.0, the professional image-editing standard. With its integrated Web tool application, Adobe Image Ready, Photoshop delivers a comprehensive environment for professional designers and graphics producers to create sophisticated images for print, the Web, wireless devices, and other media.

With its comprehensive set of retouching, painting, drawing, and Web tools, Photoshop helps you complete any image-editing task efficiently. Computer graphics fall into two main categories-bitmapand vector. You can work with both types of graphics in Photoshop

Basil – Scripting Flash from Smalltalk

Adobe Flash File Format (SWF) is a vector graphics format designed for publication on the web. At the moment it is the most popular file format to display animated vector graphics, far exceeding SVG which has not yet prevailed. To view an SWF file the user needs to install the Adobe Flash Player which is also available as a browser plugin for all major platforms in several languages. According to a census of Adobe, 99% of web users have a Flash Player installed.

Beginning Adobe Photoshop CS2

You’ll begin by learning about the pixel-based environment of Photoshop, sources of images, and the Photoshop workspace. Next, you’ll learn how to create a new image in Photoshop, select the entire image, and make an example to show the difference between a pixel image and a vector image. You’ll also learn how to capture, crop, and transform an image on your screen.

GPGPU – Basic Math Tutorial

The goal of this tutorial is to explain the background and all necessary steps that are required to implement a simple linear algebra operator on the GPU: saxpy() as known from the BLAS library. For two vectors x and y of length N and a scalar value alpha, we want to compute a scaled vector-vector addition: y = y+alpha∗x. The saxpy() operation requires almost no background in linear algebra, and serves well to illustrate all entry-level GPGPU concepts. The techniques and implementation details introduced in this tutorial can easily be extended to more complex calculations on GPUs.

Introduction to Macromedia Flash

Flash is a program by Macromedia for creating interactive, animated online content. Animated simply means “to have movement” — Flash content does not have to be a cartoon. It is commonly used to mimic software interface elements such as scroll bars, drop-down menus, buttons, and navigational systems. The term “Flash” has also come to mean the actual files created using Macromedia’s program of the same name.

How to Prepare Images for Electronic Presentation

Electronic presentation of images requires somewhat different preparation than for printing. This article recommends a process that has proven satisfactory to the author. Other methods may be equally valid, and the “best method” will continue to evolve as technology changes. This article assumes Photoshop CS on Windows, but other image processing software can be used to implement the same method. Although much of the discussion assumes you are preparing images for digital projection, the same methods generally apply to preparing images for display on computer monitors or even televisions.

Photoshop for Photos

Photoshop is a photo editing and modification application created by Adobe. While it includes tools for doing other things such as creating images from scratch, working with vector objects and creating buttons and other web appropriate images, its primary purpose is and always has been working with photographs. Adobe offers other programs such as Illustrator or GoLive that are designed specifically for image creation and web design. Photoshop can modify images of all shapes and sizes, changing colors and editing and combining photos. It can also create vector images and allows you to create buttons, and designs for web images or even a complete web page.

Step-by-Step: Airbrushed bevels with Photoshop

We’re importing a vector-based image (the lettering),which was designed in an illustration program (i.e.Illustrator, Freehand,Corel or some sign application),into Photoshop® where it will be rasterized into a bitmap image.We’re then beveling that image,adding some simple airbrushed “hot spots”and then exporting it out of Photoshop as an RGB JPG file.Back in our original illustration program,we’ll import that JPG back into our file,place it over the lettering and paste it inside of it.The process of beveling JMV is the same used for Landscaping. For the sake of space,we’ll illustrate how the JMV was done.
