First, I know this is a terrible workflow; it's being enforced on me by my employer's SDL Tridion Docs content management system, which seems to specialize in showing complete contempt for its users.
I need to open a raster image in Gimp, paste in a new image, resize the canvas, save and close. This works fine when the pasted-in image is smaller than the original image, but when the pasted-in image is larger I cannot for the life of me find a function to detect the size of the pasted-in image and expand the canvas to fit; all of the functionality seems to assume that the new image will be smaller. I'm looking for the equivalent of the "resize document to selection" command found in Inkscape.
If you do this manually, see Image>Fit canvas to layers.
If you do it in a script, pdb.gimp_image_resize_to_layers(image) in python, something similar in Script-fu.

Trying to simply display an image at it's full size, which is bigger then the screen width and height. I do not care because I am developing a page for pinch and pan. So, the image will be off the screen anyways, and I would like to use a bigger image for pinch and pan, and it keeps setting the width to screen width when I just want it to show at real height and width. I've tried absolute layout, relative, and stack, nothing works. Here's my current code:
<controls:GestureFrame x:Name="GestureFrameMain">
<Image x:Name="ImageMain"/>
</controls:GestureFrame>
and in the backend, I simply set the source:
ImageMain.Source = Xamarin.Forms.ImageSource.FromUri(new System.Uri(PageParametersImageZoom.Image.BigImageURL));
I can verify that the URL has an image that is much larger than the screen size, here's an example of an image that would come back:
http://www.stage.newser.com/image/1088966-0-20161020082458.jpeg
And as you can see it's much larger than the dimensions of the screen, however, when I set the source, the image appears to be at screen size. I've attached an image of the result on the page, which clearly shows the image being downsized by Xamarin.
EDIT the pinch and pan itself is not the problem. When I pinch/pan the image obviously gets larger and goes off screen. I am talking about the initial load of the page, I would like the image to show at its real size.
Looks like the only way I was able to do this was by using a AbsoluteLayout and specifying the widhrequest/heightrequest properties on the image.
Is there some way (besides writing a plugin) to clip/crop an image which is inserted into an AsciiDoc document?
I couldn't find such a feature in the docs but there might be a plugin I am not aware of...
No, there is no such feature. When you use the image: macro, you can set the image's width and height, but there is no option to set the crop area or starting point for cropping. See https://asciidoctor.org/docs/user-manual/#images for details.
To crop the images, you might need to perform some sort of pre/post processing to directly crop the images. Unless you have a requirement to dynamically crop the image, it's probably best to do so manually.
If you do need the ability to dynamically crop images, you might create a plugin that creates a new macro, say crop:, that uses the image: macro's internals, but accepts crop coordinates and performs the cropping on the source image.
Thanks for reading this question :)
Goal:
I am using Fabric.js as a base for image editor (crop and resize features for now mostly).
My goal is to load some high-quality image (like photos) rotate or crop it and then export as DataURL (in original quality or near to it).
Solution:
To add such a big photo on canvas and be able to export it bad with the same quality - I set width and height of canvas equal to image's width and height (2560 × 1600px) and then compress it using css to 640x400px (editor size). (I used https://stackoverflow.com/a/17035046 as a base)
In this case I still can export image in big dimension using canvas.toDataURL() - it will be about 2560x1600 (this is my goal).
How it works: http://jsfiddle.net/handmade/Lqsb0kwv/4/
Problem description:
I've got a problem after adding zoom feature (canvas.zoomToPoint(...)) to my editor and it is related to css width and height limitation of canvas.
Try to change size of image using controls in jsfiddle above and you will see an issue.
Works fine if...
...if I don't use css limitation: http://jsfiddle.net/handmade/Lqsb0kwv/5/
Questions:
I've read 90% of Fabric.js docs, examples, tutorials, questions here on Stack Overflow, but I didn't find a solution for my issue.
I am not sure that using css to limit canvas is a good practice.
I am not sure that my way of getting back changed image in big dimension is a good way.
Does anybody know better way to export image in good dimension?
Does anybody know if issue with scaling/rotating image after zoom (+limited by css) is a bug in Fabric.js?
Thank you for any answer!
ive used an online srpite service http://spritegen.website-performance.org/ but i want to know how to make them by myself.
How can i save an image that it should be so small but when used on my web site it comes out normal size?
Sprites aren't about making the image itself small, it's about decreasing filesize by packing several images into one.
Take a look at Yahoo's icon sprite. Notice that they have all their section icons stacked vertically in one large image. They then use CSS to position the background to only show a small window of the sprite image, thus giving you just the icon.
In the end, it's up to you how you arrange your sprite. Check out the bottom of Amazon's sprite.
Either way, hopefully that helps gives you a better idea of the concept of sprites.
From the very site you link:
CSS sprites are a way to reduce the
number of HTTP requests made for image
resources referenced by your site.
Images are combined into one larger
image at defined X and Y coorindates.
Having assigned this generated image
to relevant page elements the
background-position CSS property can
then be used to shift the visible area
to the required component image.
So there is nothing magical involved: you simply need to pack all your pictures into a single giant image with your favourite graphics tool and insert them as CSS background. Just look at this CSS sprite by Google:
World Map Images in Adobe Illustrator CS5
I have an image Map in illustrator CS5 which i want to save in GIF so as to reduce its size for web use. But when i save it, the map boundaries are having some white pixels all along the map boundaries of map.
I really dont know why has happened to it, but cant save it in Png-8, png-24 formate due to size constraint.
Any meaningful answer will be highly appreciate and thanks in advance.
Is your background a non-changable color? Maybe you can save the image with the same color as a background.
The problem is gifs don't support true transparency.
If this doesn't work can you provide the image you are trying to save (gif and png, I don't have AI right now)? Maybe there will be something I can do about the size or clearing the gif's edges.
transparent GIFs don't have an 8-bit alpha channel, like PNG does: a pixel in a GIF is either there, or it's not: if it's there, you can't see through it. This often means that an edge between transparent and non-transparent areas looks blocky.
There are two ways to deal with this... either use a PNG 24 (and the Illustrator Save for Web feature will help you to make it smaller), or in Illustrator create a background color layer behind your image before you export to GIF. If this background color layer is the same as the website you put the image on, the edges will blend nicely.
