Convert Photo into 3D JPS 2D animated GIF for Picasa and Facebook


LG has integrated 3D Youtube in the first smartphone with 3D camera. But what about the photos, unless you, your friends and family have a way to see these pictures in 3D, they are pointless in the computer or the Internet.
The Picasaweb, Flickr and Facebook has no role in 3D in your albums.
The only Android app site and I found this function is unknown Phereo :

In the "wiggle" it shows an animated GIF by changing the view from the right eye and left eye, so of course it automatically is not always good.
Working in Photoshop it is possible to make this transition more harmonica. But from what I have to be tested in the Gimp and not Photoshop, although I love the Gimp.
For the GIF format only supports 256 colors, and the Gimp was very bad with the colors, the better able to optimize Photoshop.

Convert JPG to JPS

When you copy the pictures 3D LG P920 (Optimus 3D) to the computer they come in JPS format. The problem is that the viewer of Windows shows up one of these images, but when you click to see the next it goes to the pictures in JPG ignoring JPS.
The viewer Picasa as well as the latest Photoshop Disem also do not know the format, even though he is a simple JPG with a photo next to each other.
The Gimp opens correctly, but before I edit the photos to see them and sort them, either directly in Windows or Lightroom.
My solution was to make a copy of the JPS files to a new folder, enter via MS-DOS, but the old command window and then find the folder you want to just give the command:
ren *.jps *.jpg
That is to rename all jps to jpg. Of course it is possible to do this manually one by one directly on windows.
Ready now the programs and Windows itself already understand what it is these files.

Convert to animated GIF with Photoshop

3D to 2D with Photoshop
So I set to begin an action in Photoshop to crop the jpg now in the middle and put each half in a layer. This action can be downloaded here:
www.riesel.com.br / JPS to GIF.atn
Not always the most important point of the photo is overlapping with the right to check on and off the top layer.
If you want to improve the overlay change the opacity of the top layer to 30% and try to position album object that is standing out in the center of the picture in the same position that this is in the lower layer.
Now to save it from an animated GIF in "File> Save for Web & Devices" (Schift + Alt + Ctrl + S)
Change the output resolution to a width of 800px if you send to Picasaweb 500px or if you want to post on Facebook.
And since this file is a copy of the original JPS take this opportunity to actually save it as JPG. Check which of the layers is better and save it with only a JPG image to have the 2D normal.

Finally publish on the Web

For Picasaweb is not possible to send these GIF files for the program Picasa, you have to assemble an album and add pictures directly from the website.
Apparently the animation is not seen in all browsers.
Facebook tried to send in all forms, aa one who has worked with the application http://apps.facebook.com/animated-picture and yet often fails. This application will only publish the photo on the Wall, the images that are in your albums are all converted by Facebook thereby losing the animation.

Now rather as part of the Orkut with Twitter, WordPress, Blogger, ...


orkut_twitter As I had commented in the post "How to integrate Facebook, Twitter, WordPress, Blogspot, Google Reader, MSN, GTalk and more." the only social network that was really hard to integrate was Orkut.

Still a bit difficult and I could not join her in the same way you can do with Facebook for example, but I got some progress.

The first find was an Orkut application that really matters to your Twitter messages and no use going to + Applications and Twitter searches for the word because the applications that appear are all useless, the only one able to download the message and put it as if I had typed it again in the "Tell your friends something to" the new Orkut was Twitkut (Link).

Just one drawback of Twitkut unlike the Twitter Facebook application that is not running if it is not activated, ie messages will be imported from Twitter if you open the application. One solution to this would put the link to that application in your favorites and go from time to time, eg after having "tweeted".

Now Orkut to integrate with WordPress, Blogger, Blogspot or any other system of Blogs you can follow the method that I spent to integrate with Facebook through Twitter ( "How to integrate Facebook, Twitter, WordPress, Blogspot, Google Reader, MSN, GTalk and more. ") and use the Twitkut to tell your friends Orkut that has news on your Blog. After the blog is integrated with Twitter just access the link Twitkut posted after that will launch the message with the title of the post and link Twitter to Orkut.

Now the method I chose to integrate my blog with Orkut and Facebook was also using the Sociable WordPress Plugin where I added yet Orkut as you can see below. So when I finish post something here I use the buttons below to send a message with the title, image and link to my friends and still leave the option open for all visitors to the blog.

If you have any other blog system just copy the code in Javascript that Orkut icon bar down there, if you are using WordPress with the Sociable plugin and you want the file "sociable.php" changed to leave a message below I send email with a brief explanation of how to make it work. (Explanation and file below)

Other sites in Portuguese as Ueba, DoMelhor, Rec6, digacultura, digg, and I added the Sociable diHITT through manual http://www.academiadodinheiro.com site , thank you Sam.

PS. The aquivo sociable.php and images nescessárias are in www.riesel.com.br / sociable.rar

Note that I put the code in the file to add sociable.php Orkut:


/ / Adds Orkut
$ Html. = "<li> <A href = \" javascript: (function () {f = '= http://promote.orkut.com/preview?nt=orkut.com&tt' src = \ "/ wp-content/plugins/sociable/images/orkut.gif \" title = \ "Orkut \" alt = \ "Orkut \" class = \ "sociable-hovers \"> </ a> </ li> \ n ";

$ Html. = "</ Ul> \ n </ div> \ n";

return $ html;


This code adds the icon of Orkut at the end of the bar Sociable, and opens a window to send the page to open the "Promote" Orkut.
But it does not work very well when the user is in a category or the main blog page, because then it does not send data from the specific post, but the window as a whole.
Please copy the icon to the folder orkut images of the sociable and see if the shortcut in the above code is right on:
img src = \ "/ wp-content/plugins/sociable/images/orkut.gif \"

It is very easy to earn invitation to the new Orkut Twitter

NovoOrkut

It was very easy to get an invitation to the new Orkut, only had to look up the word orkut on Twitter that is popping up all the time the same phrase "Who wants to call ..."

I liked the look and especially the interactivity of the messages. Too bad that only someone with the new Orkut can interact. Basically it is a copy of Facebook, with the message "something to tell your friends" up there and then people can comment.

Apparently with the new API will now be possible to integrate with Orkut or Twitter feeds and still want to give a studied these new codes. It will be great to send messages directly on Orkut Twitter or Blog in the same way as today on Facebook. In Orkut there is even a Twitter app, but it serves no purpose, is not the same as the application for Facebook.

Hope Orkut will soon put on the list of integrated services as I put it in post " How to integrate Facebook, Twitter, WordPress, Blogspot, Google Reader, MSN, GTalk and more.

After activating the new system takes about two days to be able to invite someone, I received five calls in case anyone wants to just leave a message below that I still have I send. How to put in the previous post " Who will help me understand the Wave? calls the Wave I still have to test if someone wants just let me know, I send an invitation.

Tested in recent days the Wave and seems promising, is very interesting to see each key that the other is typing, including typos. But the conversation ends up getting quite confused with this option of responding in the middle of the conversation, the idea is to respond to a question that has been done above, but often the conversation is still there in the middle.

New iGoogle great to integrate Twitter, Facebook, Orkut, Time, Calendar, Gmail, ...


A month ago I noticed that every time I enter the Google homepage (iGoogle) in German it appears the new look, in the English version also works and it can be accessed at:
http://www.google.com.br/ig?hl=en

image001
I use iGoogle since it was released, and find it very practical to have more information on the same screen. Among my application to this:

  • TwitterGadget my main Twitter app for the desktop.
  • Facebook also check almost exclusively by iGoogle
  • Google Talk replace almost the software
  • Google Calendar is well summarized
  • Gmail in the Portuguese version only shows the inbox
  • Google Notebook also replaces almost the entire front page with this tool
  • the list of documents in GoogleDocs also saves me from having to go through some pages.

But still iGoogle helps a lot with the window of the translator Babylon, with currency converter, player from Last.fm and more.
image002 This new version is a subdivision of the tabs, ie tabs moved to the left side in the form of a sidebar and now you can see all the widgets of the tab as well as each of them expanded. Pictured above are all of my applications tab and the initial image on the side for example the extended application of meteorology, including the marking on the Maps of the location of weather stations. Not all applications are working in expanded form, for example Google Calendar. Gmail already works pretty much in full within this version of iGoogle, but the Gmail keyboard shortcuts are disabled.
IGoogle is great is improving but still can not integrate all the services Google Analytics for example no longer works and the widgets (or Gadget) Google Reader and Google News can not be as efficient as the pages of these services.

How to integrate Facebook, Twitter, WordPress, Blogspot, Google Reader, MSN, GTalk and more.

wp_twitter_facebook First how to integrate Twitter with Facebook, for it has two Facebook applications, simply register on both what you write on Twitter will show up on Facebook and vice versa. First own tool "Twitter" Facebook, which imports the twitters to Facebook.Depois tool "Twitter Updater" Facebook, which exports to Twitter messages that you publish in Facebook.Ou is now all goes to Twitter will appear in Facebook, then just what you want to integrate with Twitter. In my case my blog is a WordPress installation on the server itself, then installed the plugin "WP to Twitter" to send the title of the posts with a link to Twitter and it also automatically goes to Facebook.

For those who do not use WordPress, but Blogspot or any other blog tool is another option which is what I use Twitter to send the best news I read in Google Reader , this solution is based on the Feed (RSS) blogs. Just register on http://twitterfeed.com/ and there add the feeds you will want to be published on Twitter. Just beware of the "Shorten link through" is the shortened link to Twitter, the first option I tried (I do not remember which) was blocked on Facebook, so the message was published on Twitter but did not go to Facebook I moved to the shortening "bit.ly" and I had no problems.

Another advantage of http://twitterfeed.com/ is that once you can check how many times this post has been accessed via Twitter or Facebook.

Another interest is the integration of the plugin http://www.buddyfuse.com/ for MSN with this plugin contacts from Google Talk (Gmail) are also available to speak directly to MSN, and when you change your phrase Status this sentence is sent directly to Twitter and the above that also goes to Facebook.

Now if you are finding hard to keep following email, Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, Google Reader, MSN, GTalk, Weather, Exchange, Bovespa, ... in a thousand pages on the Internet tell you're wasting time, nothing like putting it all in Google Home Page with Widgets and ready to accompany some of everything on a single page in the coming days publish the best applications iGoogle .

I think that's any questions just post in the comments, just do not ask me how to integrate Orkut, for that canceled the option to add feeds and if it does not change soon I predict he will end up dying.

PS RT Twitter also go to Facebook, but not direct messages.

It is easier to integrate with Picasa Web Facebook than Orkut, Flickr also

Photos2Photos I still do not understand why they did not integrate Orkut photo album Picasa is after all one of the best Google tools.

Facebook is now much easier to integrate, in fact here is the import of photos with comments included. The application's own Photos 2 Photos Facebbok allows you to do the import of albums or photos of some of the PicasaWeb or Flickr with a few clicks.
