Adding a little more pizazz to Images enlarged from "thumbs" on a non. Mac?

I'm pleased w/ my grid layout of my "portfolio" thumbs, and those oh so cool "reflection" options (link to my page below). However...
...when one clicks to see the larger image, well, I hope the bigger image interests my clients, but the surroundings, as it just opens in a new page, w/ white surrounding it, is serious dullsville... and kills the "display mood" w/ the sudden white.
In a perfect world, I'd like to see the bigger image open w/ the black background around it, and the reflection?
I guess I could accomplish this w/ a created page for every larger image, but that would be very time consuming, and would that make my site huge? We're talking a lot of images.

Suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Well I did it the hard way....
I slogged through and stripped each "Welcome" page, put the single image in w/ the reflection -- the way I WANT to see the enlarged images to be presented.
This took quite some time, and now I have a LOT of pages --66. Previously the thumbs were linked to the larger images as "files". Now I went through, made the pages not show up in the navigation, and hyperlinked each thumb to it's new web page w/ the larger image (the black reflected surroundings).
During this tedious process, I would save often, and noticed when I back tracked on the thumbs hyperlinks the info was GONE! Just blank. All the pages show up in the pop up selection, and all the ones I did remain until I save or publish, then they are gone. Oh well, I did a test upload in a test folder --and dang it, it does not work (not surprised, I guess) -- all the thumbs got back to the jpg files (like originally).
Did I reach critical mass w/66 pages, and it revealed buggy-ness in iWeb? Again, no problem pointing the hyperlinks, they just disappeared after saving or publishing. Argh!
Anybody?

  • A little more help with image

    I have refered to this thread to help me create my background image.
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=599393&messageID=3196643
    However I am stuck mostly because of not really fully grasping all the objects and how they work yet.
    Basically right now I have a JFrame and then I have a container which I put all my objects in.
    First question:
    What exactly does the following line of code do?
    Container contentPane = getContentPane();
    Does the "getContentPane()" method get the JFrame, since this is the class this line of code is embedded in?
    It sets contentPane which is a container to the JFrame?
    Second question...
    So using the above link I created a class called BackgroundImage and it works ...sort of. I have two windows - one is my JFrame game and the other is this background frame.
    Now I knew this would happen and I realize what I am supposed to do but I have been unsuccessful. Basically I need to make this JPanel my contentPane right?
    But when I say something like
    JPanel contentPane = panel my JFrame has nothing in it...
    How do I take this seperate window and incorporate it into what I already have.
    I want to use the contentPane variable since this is the variable where everything gets added throughout the code? I can't seem to get the JPanel to work.
    Take a look at some code snippets:
    public class DungMast extends JFrame
        /** Creates a new instance of EventPress */
        public DungMast() {
            Animation_Complete=false;
            Current_Level = 1;
            Level_Complete = false;
            CreateUserInterface();
            JPanel panel = new JPanel()
            protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
           //  Dispaly image at at full size
         g.drawImage(img_BG.getImage(), 0, 0, null);
         //  Scale image to size of component
    //                    Dimension d = getSize();
    //                    g.drawImage icon.getImage(), 0, 0, d.width, d.height, null);
                        //  Fix the image position in the scroll pane
    //                    Point p = scrollPane.getViewport().getViewPosition();
    //                    g.drawImage(icon.getImage(), p.x, p.y, null);
                        super.paintComponent(g);
             panel.setOpaque( false );
             panel.setPreferredSize( new Dimension(400, 400) );
             scrollPane = new JScrollPane( panel );
             getContentPane().add( scrollPane );
             JButton button = new JButton( "Hello" );
             panel.add( button );
        }  //end constructor for main JFrame
    //Then I have something like
    JPanel contentPane = panel;
    }

    What exactly does the following line of code do?
    Container contentPane = getContentPane();
    It gets the content pane for the JFrame and saves a reference to it for later use, viz,
    the reference "contentPane" can be used to call methods in the Container class.
    Lightweight (Swing) top–level containers have a content pane that holds the child
    components for the parent container. See the comments section of the JRootPane class api
    for a birds–eye view.

  • Re-imaging iBook from another iBook using Firewire cable.

    Hey, I used the Disk Utility to try to re-image an iBook G3, but it does not find the hard drive. These were my steps:
    1. .dmg image of OS X on an iBook G4.
    2. Connected iBook G4 to iBook G3 via firewire cable.
    3. Used the restore option in the Disk Utility tool of the iBook G4.
    4. The image was copied to the iBook G3, but there's no hard drive detected.
    Any help is appreciated..

    Just to confirm that I understand what's happened, the iBook G3's drive mounted correctly on the iBook G4? Yes.
    and was detected in Disk Utility, yes?Yes.
    And then after you restored the G3 and rebooted it, it couldn't find a boot volume? Yes.
    Am I understanding you correctly? Yes.
    If I am indeed understanding, from what was the disk image created originally? Got the image from tech support so I don't have an answer.
    From that iBook G3 or another one of the same basic generation? Got the image from tech support so I don't have an answer.
    Or did the image come from some other model of Mac and if so what model? Got the image from tech support so I don't have an answer.

  • Is it possible to datamerge more than one image per page?

    I am building a product catalogue using datamerge.  Is it possible to data merge more than one image per page? (ie I have a logo, product image and dimensioned drawing to go with each product page)
    What would the coding be for the Data Field Name?
    Would it be
    @Logo
    @Product Image
    @Dimension Drawing
    Add image fields in the data source file
    By adding image fields to the data source file, you can allow a different image to appear on each merged record. For example, when you merge documents that include information from various companies, you may want to include an image of each company’s logo as part of the merge.
    Open the data source file.
    At the beginning of the data field name, type an “at” symbol (@) to insert text or paths that refer to image files.The @ symbol is required only in the first line; subsequent lines should include the image paths. Paths, which are case-sensitive, must follow the naming conventions of the operating system in which they’re stored.
    If you get an error message when you type the @ symbol at the beginning of the field, type an apostrophe (') before the @ symbol (such as '@Photos) to validate the function. Some applications, such as Microsoft Excel, reserve the @ symbol for functions.

    You can use InDesign to view the path of an image on your operating system. Insert an image in an InDesign document, and then use the Links panel to view the image’s location. With the image selected, choose Copy Info > Copy Full Path from the Links panel menu. You may need to edit the path after you paste it in your data source. This technique is especially useful for images on a server.

    Yes, pretty much exactly as you describe. You would then just add those fields to the boxes in your page. I tend to add an apostrophe before the @ symbol in Excel so it doesn't think it's a function - as per text you quoted above.
    If you get an error message when you type the @ symbol at the beginning of the field, type an apostrophe (') before the @ symbol (such as '@Photos) to validate the function. Some applications, such as Microsoft Excel, reserve the @ symbol for functions.

  • How do I get more than 99 images????

    I have iDVD v2.1. I have a Mac OS X 10.2.8. I want to update my iDVD, but how can I do that? I want to have more than 99 images in a slide show, but I think I need to update it. The only update I found for 10.2.8 Macs is the iDVD 3.0.1 update, which requires iDVD 3. Can I update to iDVD 3? HOW?!?! Please somebody help. If I can't, then is there a way to get more than 99 images in a slideshow at all?

    Hey,
    Thank you very much. That's very helpful. Thank you for your time! I bought the hardware for OS X Tiger 10.4... and I'm having a little bit of trouble installing it. Could you possibly go to that question that I asked and have any suggestions? It's located at

    Thank you so incredibly much for your time. I'd really appreciate your advice and help, because you sound like an experienced Mac user!

  • Issues when more than 100K images in library

    Hi,
    I've recently spent a lot of time importing several years worth of images into my Aperture Library. At the moment the library stands at approx 104K images. The images are arranged by date into projects - each project having *less than 10K images*. An example of the structure is:
    .Library (Built in smart albums).
    .Client Disks (Folder)
    .RAW Library (folder)
    .-2004 (year)(folder)
    .--01 Jan 2004 (Month)(folder)
    .---29 Jan 2004 (Day)(project)
    .---30 Jan 2004 (Day)(project)
    .--02 Feb 2004 (month)(folder)
    .-2007 (year)(folder)
    .--01 Jan 2007 (month)(folder)
    .---27 Jan 2007 (day)(project)
    etc
    The problem lies with Smart albums or doing any searching across the whole library
    Smart albums work fine when they're created at the year or month scope within a folder (eg '.Raw Library.2007' or '.Raw Library.2007.01 Jan 2007'), but fail when they are created at the top container scope of '.Raw Library' or at the default aperture 'library' level.
    When the smart albums fail, the message that is given is 'Too many images to display. Please create a smart album to show images in the browser'. This occurs even when the selection made should only amount to 100-200 images. Smart Galleries which also worked quite happily across the scope of the library before there where more than 100K images have also stopped working.
    This actually makes Aperture pretty useless as an image library management tool as I would have to create multiple smart galleries in each year to find results across the library and that sort of defeats the purpose of managing the images in Aperture
    FWIW, The Machine specs are: MacPro 3Ghz, 2Gb Ram, OS-X 10.4.9, Aperture V1.5.3, Software Update fully-up-to-date and the images are all referenced, not managed.
    I'd be interested if anyone else has come up against this issue!

    Glad I'm not the only one who has the problem.
    After a bit more playing it seems that the default smart albums do work, at least the 5*, * or better, Rejected and last week, last month work - the yearly ones don't. If you create a smart album and use the star ratings it works. But the moment you add another criteria in - such as a keyword - then it stops working again. If one filter can work with a global scope, then why shouldn't one that's got a keyword added...

  • Help needed with simple image enlargement when viewing a gallery

    Hi
    I have a gallery component linked to a data thumb list. This all scrolls fine and works. When someone clicks on a thumb it shows the
    image larger. Then I would like it if you click on the larger image it fills the height of the page to see an even bigger view. I have managed to do this but some of the buttons do not work in the area were this image is even if the image is not showing and the image will not go back to its off state even though it has an interaction to do so. If I drag the image component down the layers panel so it is behind all the other bits on my page it all works, the image enlarges and disappears so the previous state is shown. The problem with this is I want the image to cover everything behind it, not be behind everything. I have included a couple of screen grabs just to give you an idea.
    sc 1 simple data list and image component
    sc2 Enlarged image but can not get it to go
    sc3 enlarged image can come and go no changes except I have moved the layer panel down
    to the bottom
    Any ideas how I can get this to work properly would be much appreciated
    many thanks

    I have sorted this out. There might be other ways of doing this but I added a button to the large image gallery component.
    constructed a rectangle the same size as the large image and set the opacity to 0. The whole area is now a button you can not see.
    One click anywhere on the image removes it with an interaction back to the first state which is off.
    hope this help anyone

  • Error - Can't open more than one image in CS3

    My Photoshop CS3 was working fine until all of a sudden it no longer lets me open more than one image at a time without crashing. Anyone else have this problem? How do I fix it?

    Hi,
    There may be two issues you have to check:
    1) The " scratch disk" feature in photoshop(usually gets full). Go to preferences - performance. Also check how much RAM PS is using.
    2) Printer Communication: sometimes Photoshop is unable to communicate with the default printer(may be unstable drivers, out of date etc). Network computers also make some issues
    If you want to read more about this follow this link:
    http://www.fluther.com/disc/22453/photoshop-cs3-not-opening-more-than-one-image-at-a-time/
    They talk about the issues I mentioned here. Let me know if you found this information useful.

  • In Keynote, how do I put more than one image on a single slide?

    I would like to put 2, 3, or 4 “pictures” on a single slide, and program them with transitions so that they could pop-on or dissolve one at a time.  Is it possible to put more than one image placeholder on a slide?

    Yes. Just copy-paste the placeholder that the theme has, multiple times.

  • Is there a way to reset more than one image at a time?

    I have a folder with 1100 images taken on four different cameras. I have a new default setting for one of the cameras that I would like to apply to most but not all of the images in this folder. I could remove the offending images and reimport, I could filter by serial number and sync a preset. It would be easier, however, if could just select the images I want and hit the reset tool and reset all the images selected. But it only seems to reset the dominant image. Any way to get the reset button to work on more than one image at a time?

  • How do you open more than one image at a time in Camera Raw?

    We used to be able to select more than one image from a folder and process one after the other in camera raw. Now we can only do one at a time. Is there a secret keyboard short-cut to allow this still?

    Which operating system are you using?
    One should still be able to open multiple files into camera raw.
    Camera raw files. tiffs and jpegs.
    If in the pse 13 Editor in the Expert mode you go to File>Open in Camera Raw, you aren't able to open more than one file into camera raw?

  • Lightroom won't export more than one image at the time

    I am having trouble exporting my RAW files as JPEG files. At first Lightroom 4.4 seemed to skip certain photos when exporting and now I'm unable to export more than one image at the time. How can I fix this? I didn't seem to have this problem before the 4.4 update, but then again, the 4.4 update has been running for a few days now. I run on a 32bit Windows 7 with 4GB of RAM.
    Lightroom has also been a considerable lot slower since the last couple of days, yet there have been no changes at all to my computer or system or anything - nothing's changed expect for the fact that Lightroom isn't behaving as it used to.
    Can anyone help me?

    I think I've found the problem - I've accidentally 'synced' my folder instead of importing the RAW files. Which brings me to my next problem and question - I've already edited the RAW files and would really like it if there's a way I could re-import the files without losing my changes/metadata, is there anyway that's possible?

  • I started making a movie and all was well. I added a few more pictures and some sound and played it back. It plays so far and then the pictures break up into colors and then the screen turns green.  The sound continues.

    I am making a movie from still pictures. I used no theme and then started adding pictues. When I played it back, all was well. Then I added a few more pictures and some sound. When I play iot back it plays just so far and then the sound continues, but the screen turns green or the pictures break up into colors.

    Sorry, everyone.  I think I may have figured out what it was all down to...........
    I had left the IDE ribbon cable plugged into my third HDD, with the power cable unplugged.  I did this so as not to endanger my years of work on the third drive, until Windows had setup.  I have in the past, accidentally chosen the wrong partiton to format, so this seemed a good way to avoid it from then on.
    This was not a problem on my old system, but it seems this system doesn't like it.
    I must have left the drive completely unplugged, the times Windows did setup.  Amazing really.  I couldn't see the woods for the trees.
    Anyway, I'm sorry to have bothered everyone with my problem.
    Cheers
    Marcus
    edit :   Sorry Syar2003, I didn't see your reply until I had posted mine.  Many thanks for taking the time to try and help me, it seems as though I may have sorted it now.  I am using IDE drives until I can afford SATA.  But many thanks for the heads-up on the NF4-SATA compliance, I'll be sure to bare that in mind.
    I didn't actually check the NVRAID/IDE ROM version before updating the bios, so I have no idea if the revision was changed when Liveupdate flashed the Bios, I'm afraid.  I didn't know they would be updated at the same time.
    Again, cheers
