What is this effect called?
|

| tempgal 2007-08-09, 6:21 pm |
| Hi --
I saw an interesting effect here: http://www.upchurchrealty.com/ where
photos were superimposed on a shape which was the State of Georgia.
I am not referring to the html or script coding that produced the cool
transitional effects, but just how to begin doing something like this with
one image.
Is this a mask? How might one begin?
My PSP skills are so rudimentary that I do not know what terms to search for
a tutorial and cannot find the appropriate references in the manual.
Thanks.

This is an interesting effect that is easy to make in PSP. It's not
automatic, but is a fine introduction to several of the tools. I
will not attempt a step-by-step "paint by numbers" recipe to follow
blindly. Not knowing your version of PSP, that would be impossible
and you will learn more by studying the tools. Here is an outline.
To start, you will need a background image, which will show through
the outline, and an outline image like the state of Georgia in the
example. You will make a selection of the outline and use the
selection to create the drop shadow and the cut-out through which
the background will show.
1. Open the background image and the outline image. Display both at
the same zoom setting and resize the outline image so the outline
will reveal as much of the background as you want.
2. Copy the outline image and paste it as a new layer on the
background image.
3. Make a selection of the outline. The best tool for this depends
on the outline image. A map of the Georgia state boundary might
require just a click with the Magic Wand. The Freehand Selection
tool has several options to help drawing an outline by hand.
4. Invert the selection, thereby selecting everything outside the
outline. Use the Flood Fill tool to fill this area with white.
5. Invert the selection again. Press the Delete key to erase its
contents, leaving a hole showing the background image below.
6. Use the Drop Shadow effect to produce the shadow around the
outline.
7. Remove the selection now that you are done with it.
The Help and (if you have a version earlier than PSP 10) the printed
manual can fill in the details. Try these key words: background,
image resize, selection, layers, drop shadow, paste as new layer,
and the tools I named. Another excellent resource is the huge list
of tutorials at http://www.psplinks.com/. Use the same key words
there.
Do write back if you get stuck on any of these steps.

The script is just changing a series of images that have been cut into
the shape of the State of Georgia. Start by taking the image with the
shape you want (say the State of Georgia) and make a selection of the
shape of the state. Then Selections>Load/Save Selection>Save Selection
to Alpha Channel. This will bring up a dialogue box to name the
selection, and clicking OK saves the selection in a special channel of
the image. Leave the visible selection marquee on the state image.
Then open the images you want to crop into the shape of the state.
Click the title bar of one of the images to make it active. Selections>
Load Selection from Alpha Channel. This will bring up the dialogue box
showing the selection you saved to the State image's alpha channel.
Click load and that selection shape will appear on the active image
(make sure these other images are at least as large as the state image).
Then Selections>Edit Selection to be able to move the selection around
to where you want to crop, then Selections>Edit Selection again to
remove the edit mode. Then Edit>Copy>.
Then make the State image active and create a new Raster layer above the
background layer. Then Edit>Paste>Paste into Selecton. This will paste
the new image into the same position as the selection you originally
made above the image of the state.
Follow that procedure with all of the images you want in your
transision, adding a new raster layer above the previous one into which
to paste each image. When completed, the last pasted image should be on
the visible one.
Now use the jpg optimizer to export as a jpg. That gives you one image
consisting of the image on the top layer. Then hide the visibility of
that layer and you'll see the image that was underneath it. Save again
with the jpg optimizer. Continue until you have saved your series of
images.
That gives you the images. You have to code the script for the
transitions.

an already coded, free, cut-n-paste JavaScript script to provide the
transitions. That script is available at:

I don't suppose you know a way to be able to put the script into a .js file
and still have it work, so that there isn't a whole bunch of script
cluttering up the head of the pages? Other than that,it's a good script
that definitely does the job easily.

That's pretty easy to do. Simply take the first segment of javascript that
normally goes in the head of the page, remove the <script
type="text/javascript"> tag from the beginning of the text, the closing
</script> tag at the end of the text and save the results with a file name
such as "sshow.js". Then place the following tag into the head of the page:
<script language="JavaScript1.2" src="sshow.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
If I understand your request correctly, that should do the trick for you.
The way this particular script is constructed, I don't know how much help
that would be though. Personally, I think it would be much better to modify
the script a bit to move the section that defines the image file names into
the script segment in the body of the page instead of in the .js file
portion. That way you can reuse the same .js file for many pages throughout
your site and simply define the image file names in each individual page.
The way it is set up now, you would have to have a separate .js file for
each and every page. Just my $0.02 worth...

Appreciate this, Rick, but I did create a .js file from the script that
was supposed to be in the head, removing the script tags, which I do
with lots of scripts that run buttons, etc. However, that resulted in
the images disappearing from the web page. Do I have to change
something in the script call that I place in the body of the page in the
table cell where I want the images to appear? If so, how? I tried
adding the src part to the body script that pointed to slideshow.js in
my jscript folder but that didn't work.
Thanks!

JoeB

You placed the .js file in your jscript folder? That may be where the
problem lies. If you placed the .js file in a separate folder from the one
where the .html file and/or image files reside, you will have to define the
exact path to the script and/or image files instead of just using the file
names.
This gets a little trickier depending on your exact setup, but I usually
recommend relative addressing for these problems. Makes it much easier to
deal with later on when it comes time to move the site from your test bed
where you develop it, to your hosting provider to make it "live" to the
rest of the world.
To make things a bit simpler, I made a quick mod to the script we've been
talking about to make it a bit more "portable". You can grab it at:
http://cris.com/~rsimon/sshow.zip
With this version, you can easily use the same .js file for slideshows on
multiple pages throughout your site. To use it, simply place the image
files in the same directory as the .html file and just use the image file
name (in the same way as with the original version). The only change will
be in the script tag in the head that calls up the script file.
If the .html file is in the root directory (the home page for instance)
and the .js file is in a "jscript" subdirectory, then the script tag in the
head of the .html file should read:
<script language="JavaScript1.2" src="jscript/sshow.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
If the .html file is in a subdirectory of the root directory and the .js
file is in another subdirectory of the same root directory, then the script
tag in the head of the .html file should read:
<script language="JavaScript1.2" src="../jscript/sshow.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
The key here is the "../" which modifies the path to the .js file. In
essence, it tells the browser to go up one directory level in the path. As
far as the browser is concerned, the longhand version of the above path is
to "go up one directory level, find a directory called jscript and open it,
then look for a file called sshow.js". If neccessary, you can daisy chain
the "up directory" path modifier to move up multiple directory levels (
"../../" goes up two levels for instance).
As a last note, if you decide to place all of your images in another
subdirectory, separate from the .html file, then you'll need to modify the
image file names to include the full path as well. The same "../" modifier
will work there as well.
Sorry if any (all?) of this is old hat to you. I don't know how much you
already know about this stuff.

| That is a very good idea: separating the basic script from the loading of
the images.
However, most of us cut-n-paste javascript users dont know how to do that
and not fall of the edge of the world.

Thanks for the example!
I have wanted to do this for some time.
Also, I wanted to be able to randomize these for each visitor. But, I hadnt
been able to do that either.

Nothing to be sorry about, Rick. I much prefer a good, detailed
explanation from step one to the end then a truncated one that assumes I
(or anyone I might be writing to) know stuff I might not know. It saves
a bunch of "but what about this?" type exchanges :-)
Yes, some of this is old hat for me, but now I see where I made my
error. After I put the script in my jscript folder (a sub-folder of the
root) and tried to define the path to the .js file, I hadn't used the
correct syntax to define the path properly. You have shown me how to do
it correctly.
Your detailed explanation, and the time you took, is greatly
appreciated. I'm going to grab your modified script also.
Thanks again!

Further to my reply earlier today, I just wanted to add that I've now
had time to check out your modified version of the script and it's
excellent. It definitely does make it much easier to be able to
customize the rotating banner for different pages and change any
particular page's banner(s) without having to have a different .js file
for each page that has a different slideshow. This seems like the best
slideshow script for use as a rotating ad banner that I've seen. Thanks
for the original link, and the modified script!

The Randomizing function in this script doesn't do that for you?? In the
page specific coding (in the .html file) one of the calling factors for the
fadeshow function is to randomize the image order:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
//new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height,
borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), optionalRandomOrder)
new fadeshow(fadeimages, 140, 225, 0, 3000, 1, "R")
-----------------------------------------------------------------
That's what the "R" in the parentheses is doing.
If you're looking for something a little different from this such as
randomized individual subsets of images for each user, or personally linked
image sets for each user, then the scripting would have to be modified by
quite a bit at the very least. Depending on exactly what you want to do,
this script might not even be the best answer. Moving into a database
solution might be better.

Glad to be of help! As far as the modification, it really wasn't much of
anything. I just had to relocate a section of the scripting from the common
..js file into the page specific .html file portion.

I wasn't aware that you could do that, so I learned something new. But
with another script it'll be a trial and error thing with me to see what
part can be moved.
