upload and preview as repeated background image - background-image

I am searching for a tool on web but didnt got any success their at all. I want to have something like upload and preview the image as background as repeated one or any other alternative...
I have this sample:
How can I preview and cut the image as a perfect background image as repeated one. Is it possible in Photoshop or in some similiar products?

The trick i have recovered is crop a part of the image in a big canvas of Photoshop and then making the deuplicate copies of the layers...
If the image seems like irregular it means the cropped image is wrong so you have to change with a other or larger part of the image...
If it is regular and doesn't cut at the side onto the edge, it means image is perfect making background repeated...
Thanks...

LibreOffice Impress - Discarding image cropped-out data

I created some presentation with a lot of small images.
The problem is - that those images were originally whole screenshots (1920x1080 px), which I used Impress' image cropping tool to take only small relevant parts of the screenshot.
If you ask why is it a problem -> the answer is that instead of containing ~30 very little image crops, my presentation contains ~30 1920x1080 sized images, and just shows them according to the current crop settings.
It causes the saving process to take ~10 seconds, the output file is very large and everything works slowly because of the complex rendering process.
Is there any way to discard the cropped parts of the images?
The cropping tool is not good for making such large changes. From https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Writer_Guide/Cropping_resizing_rotating (and this is true in Impress as well):
If you crop an image in Writer, the picture itself is not changed. If
you export the document to HTML, the original image is exported, not
the cropped image.
Instead, use separate image software to do the cropping before putting the images into Impress. I typically use IrfanView.

How to add effects to UILabel

I've been searching for that many time ago and I can't find a solution. I have a animated label that crosses the screen of the iPhone (like the title of a song does in the Music app.Well, I'd like to add the "fade in/out" effect like the music app has. The easy solution is open Photoshop and create this simple image and then add it up to the label. Well, under the label I have an image with black backgroud. The image can be zoomed in and then the image with the fade in/out effect can be seen, and it doesn't look well. Is there any possibility to do this programatically? Thanks
PD: if there's another possibility rather than doing this programatically, I'll apreciate the answer as well.
Edit: Here's the image capture of the problem
I'll approach it in a non-programming way.
The image reference you gave us for the Music app you seem to be emulating has a different gradient than the one you drew in the second image.
If you notice in the image, the gradient has not fully completed its transition from clear to black before the words are cut off. I would say in photoshop run the gradient from clear to 80% alpha black and then draw a 100% alpha black rectangle to finish it off as per image. The white is just showing you what it looks like without the black background.
Now as for the zooming. Correct me if I am wrong, but it sounds like you want a viewing window for the image so that once you have zoomed into it, it will fade to either side, but still be viewable/movable in the center. This means that the image has to be zoom-able, but once you have zoomed the "fade in/out" should not be zoom-able.
Just make sure you aren't scaling the fader by keeping it separate from the scrollView of your background image.

Cutting image within an image with Corona SDK

I was wondering if it's possible to cut an image within an image with the Corona SDK using your finger? If it is indeed possible, I'd like to know how. It's for an iphone game. Thanks.
There are two ways you can do this.
One is to replace the image with two halves of the original.
You will need to edit the image, which is cumbersome.
Second is to use bitmap masks as alpha masks.
The masks are grayscale images: white = show, black = hide.
This method won't require you to change the image.
Create two halves of the original image.
Hide half of each image shown here as A & B
using 2 separate alpha masks.
Sample Code from Corona here
This would assume your image would always be sliced in the same way.

converting the thumbnile image into original size

i am converting the image into thumbnail format and sending it to server and i want to convert it back to original size while receiving can any one please tell me how to resize the image to original without loosing quality.....
i tried directly to displaying the image in image view but the quality of the image is missing ...
can any one please help me how to maintain the quality of the image .......
Downscaling is irreversible, some information lost forever.
What you're asking isn't possible. You can't enlarge an image while maintaining the same quality. If you think about an image as a mapped array of pixels (literally, a "bit-map"), this makes sense. The image is saved with a fixed amount of data, and that's all you have to work with when you resize it. Any examples to the contrary (like TV shows) are purely fictional.
Investigate using vector graphics instead, which can be resized at will without a loss of quality.
you simply can not convert an image from thumbnail to original size and retain the quality it had in its original size.
if you want to display the image full-size, you have to send the full-size image.
You could think about using a Vector image? They do not lose quality when resized. But I have no clue whether you can use them for thumbnails in iOS.
See this wiki page for more info about Vector graphics.

Why does UIImageView "darken"/saturate PNG images, and can I stop it?

I have a PNG file in a UIImageView, and next to that I have an EAGLView which displays the continuation of that same image (long story) as a texture, carved from the same original PNG. The point is, that these images, which should match up flawlessly, actually have somewhat differing color saturation.
Normally I'd blame my handling of the PNG texture load in GL, but when I hold Preview (with the PNG) up to the iPhone simulator, it's GL that's spot on, and the UIImageView that's wrong! It's taken the image and made it ever-so-slightly more saturated. The image view is opaque with 100% alpha.
I verified this on a clean UIImageView with another PNG file when put next to Preview.
Anyone know what's up?
If you are using Photoshop to save the png using the "Save for Web & Devices" tool, ensure the "Convert to sRGB" option is off and "Embed Color Profile" is also off. If you are using another editor, look for similar settings.
Read this, it will help explain better than I can.
