Bitmaps in Freehand
Instead of having a box with an "X" in it, is there a way to
view the actual bitmapped image in order to place vector text, etc.
around on top of the bitmap?

What format is the bitmap you are placing? Freehand will
display the common bitmap formats (JPEG, TIFF, PSD, GIF, etc.) Also
make sure you are not in Keyline view or have turned on keyline
view for the layer the bitmap is placed on.

Freehand - The Adobe Makeover.
Is it just me or do you find yourself banging your head on
the desk every time you try and use Illustrator. I can't do
anything without heading to the help files every 10 mins, then
giving up and heading back to FreeHand.
Don't get me wrong, I am loving some Illustrator CS2 features
like 3D Effects, Live Paint, Open Type support, Make Warp presets,
Live Trace, better gradients and great consistency between the
other Adobe CS2 apps, but why, oh why do I have to draw a selection
with the Direct Selection tool to select a point (which selects all
the objects under it). Why can't I just click on the point to move
it and not move the whole shape. It is just complete madness. The
way FreeHand Selects and Superselects is far superior in my view
which works great with 'Paste Inside'. Illustrators 'Make Clipping
Path' just freaks me out when I click on one and it shows me
everything that is in there - I hid it for a reason!
I use the Bezigon tool - can't get used to the pen. I use
Find and Replace all the time! Adjustable Curved Corners on a
rectangle anyone! Multiple Pages! - as far as I am concerned this
is an integral part of my design process. If I am designing a
logo/letterhead for a client, I do it all in one document and let
my design grow and adapt to what I think works without having to
save loads of different versions. Different size pages in one
document are also helpful too! FreeHand has got a load of
passionate users for a reason.
If FreeHand was given an Adobe makeover (great CS3 support,
excellent transparency, colour management, the Adobe type engine
(OpenType, Font Grouping, Optical Kerning etc), Universal Binary,
Better Gradients, 3D Effects, Live Paint, Live Trace and Make Warp
presets) then I am absolutely positive that it would be worth there
while. I know it would be a heck of a lot of work but it would be a
shame to let that new FreeHand icon go to waste
Adobe, please help me.I think the loss of Freehand will also alter the quality of
work produced. People who have become extremely adept with
Freehand, forced to migrate to what the majority of Freehand users
view as an inferior product, which can't conform to their very
specific needs. as for a replacement, Freehand, Illustrator and to
a lesser extent Corel Draw are in a league of their own. Years of
advancements, users suggestions and real life testing have made
these programs what they are. The newer ones on the market which
randomly choose some of the more easily replicated features of
these programs then slap a catchy name and a "Better than Freehand,
Illustrator and Corel Draw" statement on the box will just not fill
the void. As for the Illustrator vs Freehand battle neither party
will be happy. Illustrator's restrictions spawn from compatibility
and similarity with its other Adobe counterparts. Where as
Freehand's far advanced multiple pageing, selection and individual
point editing come from what the end user requires. But Freehands
lack of raster or bitmap effects brings much hatred from
Illustrator users. Personally I think a vector program should be
just that, not a half and half blur between vector and raster. In
the end I think it is going to be third party addons and
modifications to the Illustrator format which will be required to
bring it up to scratch if Adobe simply wishes to eradicate Freehand
completely. Could go on and on...
You have been with me for years. We have grown together and
advanced together. Freehand, You will be remembered, and
missed. -
Hi All,
I can use the 3D rotation tool in freehand quite easily with
vector shapes etc however I am wondering if this is possible with
imported bitmaps and images etc. It doesn't seem to apply anything
to an image in this sense. Does it need converting?
I'm basically trying to do a 3D perspective of a simple
screenshot of my desktop to create a similar looking thing to the
new Windows Vista Flip 3D if you get what I mean.
I have read through the help files which are quite useless
really! And searched the net to no avail.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,

Do you have Photoshop? You could set it up in a 3D
perspective there and
then import it into Freehand if you need to. -
Is it possible to have Photoshop CS2 as an external editor in
Freehand 10? Preferably in a Mac Intel system running 10.4.8?
Currently, when I try to make it an external editor, the Photoshop
CS2 icon/link is greyed out and I cannot choose it. Any help will
be appreciated!!!

I'm using the same combo as Martin which works fine for me as
well.
If you have previously set a different application in
Preferences, you might
try setting it to no editor, quitting FH and relaunching.
This might clear a
corrupted setting. The setting is stored in a preference
somewhere, but it's
not in the main Preferences file.
Were you ever able to use Photoshop CS with FH 10?
I vaguely recall an issue with one of the earlier FH
versions, that it would
not recognize external editor applications released after
that version of
FH. It appeared that there was an internal, hard-coded list
of acceptable
editors. That might have been FH9, though.

I think they'll update Freehand
Many Freehand users are miles ahead of me in the use of
Freehand. But I still use it because it is intuitive, fast and
produces results. Though the PDF export needs a lot of work.
My $$ are still on a release of Freehand > because they
will have a new version of Fireworks. As a novice watching the
battles of Adobe I'm saddened by the monopoly - but they understand
that Fireworks is often used in mock ups for websites. I think
that's a positive. Freehand has a natural link to Fireworks and
that is a positive. Everyone thought that Photoshop would gobble up
Fireworks - but Adobe decided to update it. Figure that one out -
because I think that decision is key. They're looking at workflow
for the web on this one.
Xara is nice - but I agree with a previous poster that Adobe
will not let Freehand go to a developer that could and would take
Freehand to greater heights and compromise Illustrator.

Actually, few people who really know Fireworks thought so
because the
two apps are too different. Only those who mistakenly though
Fireworks
competed directly with Photoshop (or worse, ImageReady)
thought that.
You have to remember that Fireworks is primarily a vector
based
application with bitmap editing tools and is a lot more
similar to
Illustrator or FreeHand (other than the bitmap tools) than
Photoshop.
Photoshop is still basically a pure raster based app with
some vector
features awkwardly grafted on top. Both applications' very
nature are
too different for them to be merged successfully.

Drag-&-dropped bitmaps downscaled, why?
Using Freehand 11.0.2.
When I drag-&-drop a .bmp file from Windows Explorer into
Freehand, it
shows up just fine, except Freehand decides to downscale it
for some reason.
For example, a 486x450 bitmap is downscaled to 364.5x337.5
(i.e. 75% scale)
when I drag-&-drop the .bmp file into Freehand. There is
noticeable image
quality loss due to the downscaling. The downscale factor is
always 75%.
Happens with TIFF files as well. Doesn't matter whether I'm
linking or
embedding.
What's going on?ngroupuser wrote:

First, understand that a raster image has a pixel count, and
it contains
dimensions, measured in inches (or centimeters or points) and
it has a
resolution which is the ratio of pixels per inch or ppi.
You are ignoring how FreeHand handles images. You have to
understand that
FreeHand places images according the the dimensions
(measurements) set in
the image file.
If I place a 300 ppi, 2 x 3 inch image, it will place as 2 x
3 inches in FH,
not 600 x 900 points. All the pixels will be used in printing
or EPS export,
but will not display at 100% view in FreeHand.
If you want your 96 ppi images to display at 72 pixels per
inch, which is
the native display ratio in FH, then you have two choices.
1. Within FH, scale the 96 ppi images. You can do this
accurately by using
the scale panel and entering 96/72*100. Press 'Scale". This
will scale by
133.33%.
Or
2. Open the files in an image editor and, without resampling
(without
changing the number of pixels), change the image *resolution*
to 72 ppi.
Save. Place this file in FH.

A generic error occurred in GDI+ while assing tiff image file to Bitmap and Image
Hi,
I am getting "A generic error occurred in GDI+" error while reading the tiff image file to Bitmap or Image.
Below is my sample code.
string filePath=@"c:\Images\sample.tif";
Bitmap bmp=new Bitmap(filePath); // here getting exception
int totalpages=bmp.GetFrameCount(.....);
etc......
I tried using Bitmap.FromFile() and also from FromStream() even for Image also but there is no use.
Moreover i m having full permissions for the file path and the tiff file is having multiple pages.
Can anyone help me to solve this issue please.
Thanks & Regards,
Kishore
KishoreMake sure that the Tif file is valid (can other software open it)? If you are able to save a Tif using GDI+, try saving that Tif, then opening it. Part of me wonders if there is something about that specific Tif that GDI+ doesn't like.
You could also try using WIC to open the TIF, perhaps you would have better luck there. -
Error while uploading BITMAP image in SAP through SE78.
Hello all,
I am getting below error while uploading image into SAP through SE78.
'Bitmap file: No color table available (True Color, Bitcount 32)'.
I have tried searching for solution and got some help from below reply from a thread:
You may do these options:
1. Lower the resolution of the image
2. Lower the file size of the image
Regards,
Reymar
I have got a image size of 6.14 KB and resolution of 72*72 dots per inch.
Thanks in Advance.
- Jayant Sahu.Hi Daniel,
First of all, if you dont mind, start a new thread for your question please.
Anyways, answer to your question is --
You need to save your picture with lower-most bits BITMAP Type. When you were saving your picture as .bmp, take care you are passing lower-most BITMAP type and not 24-bit as it may be as default.
This way, your problem would be resolved.
Thanks.

As with many things Oracle the answer is 'it depends'.
In short the same considerations apply for a concatenated index whether it is bitmap or b-tree: 1) will the leading column usually be in the predicate and 2) will most or all of the index columns be specified in the queries.
Here are some quotes from part 1
>
Many of the same issues and factors in deciding to create a single, multi-column index vs. several, single column indexes apply to Bitmap indexes as they do with B-Tree indexes, although there are a number of key differences to consider as well.
Another thing to note regarding a concatenated Bitmap index is that the potential number of index entries is a product of distinct combinations of data of the indexed columns.
A concatenated Bitmap index can potentially use less or more space than corresponding single column indexes, it depends on the number of index entries that are derived and the distribution of the data with the table.
>
Here is the lead quote from part 2
>
The issues regarding whether to go for single column indexes vs. concatenated indexes are similar for Bitmap indexes as they are for B-Tree indexes.
It’s generally more efficient to access a concatenated index as it’s only the one index with less processing and less throwaway rowids/rows to contend with. However it’s more flexible to have single column indexes, especially for Bitmap indexes that are kinda designed to be used concurrently, as concatenated indexes are heavily dependant on the leading column being known in queries. -
Hi All,
Could some one please let me know how Bitmap indexes are useful compared to B-Tree indexes on low-cardinality columns ?.

As Re: why oracle db 9i optimizer can't choose to use the bitmap index? there are a number of issues with bitmap indexes. Your best bet is to read these three articles by Jonathan Lewis.
It does pay us to understand how the optimizer works with bitmap indexes. I posted some Re: Cost-based optimizer behavior to show how indexes on even very low valued columns can be useful in certain circumstances.

The question is not so clear i will try to explain here.
I have a trackBar scroll event:
private void trackBar1_Scroll(object sender, EventArgs e)
LoadPictureAt(trackBar1.Value, sender);
ConvertedBmp = ConvertTo24(trackBar1FileInfo[trackBar1.Value].FullName);
ConvertedBmp.Save(ConvertedBmpDir + "\\ConvertedBmp.bmp");
mymem = ToStream(ConvertedBmp, ImageFormat.Bmp);
backTexture = TextureLoader.FromStream(D3Ddev, mymem);
scannedCloudsTexture = new Texture(D3Ddev, 512, 512, 1, Usage.Dynamic, Format.A8R8G8B8, Pool.Default);
timer1.Stop();
Button1Code();
timer1.Start();
b1 = ConvertedBmp;
b1.Save(ConvertedBmpDir + "\\b1.bmp");
trackBar2.Enabled = false;
if (!this.backgroundWorker1.IsBusy)
label2.Text = "מעבד נתונים";
this.backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync();
else
this.backgroundWorker1.CancelAsync();
First LoadPictureAt method:
private bool LoadPictureAt(int nIndex, object c)
bool bRet = false;
if (nIndex >= 0 && nIndex < trackBar1FileInfo.Length)
if (c.Equals(trackBar1))
pictureBox1.Load(trackBar1FileInfo[nIndex].FullName);
bRet = true;
if (bitmaps != null)
if (nIndex >= 0 && nIndex < bitmaps.Length)
if (c.Equals(trackBar2))
pictureBox1.Image = bitmaps[nIndex];
bRet = true;
return bRet;
Then the ConvertTo24 method:
private Bitmap ConvertTo24(string inputFileName)
sw = Stopwatch.StartNew();
Bitmap bmpIn = (Bitmap)Bitmap.FromFile(inputFileName);
Bitmap converted = new Bitmap(bmpIn.Width, bmpIn.Height, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(converted))
// Prevent DPI conversion
g.PageUnit = GraphicsUnit.Pixel;
// Draw the image
g.DrawImageUnscaled(bmpIn, 0, 0);
//converted.Save(outputFileName, ImageFormat.Bmp);
sw.Stop();
return converted;
Then ToStream method:
public static Stream ToStream(Image image, ImageFormat formaw)
var stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
image.Save(stream, formaw);
stream.Position = 0;
return stream;
What it does is taking a Bitmap image and make a doppler radar effect on it and detect color only places that there are pixels(clouds) in it.
Here is a screenshot:
You can see the doppler shape and it's moving around and highlight the places with clouds.
So when i move the trackBar1 to the left each time on another Bitmap image it's showing the doppler effect and the clouds.
The problem is with the trackBar2 scroll event:
First when i'm running my program and enteric to this new form that scan the clouds and show the doppler radar effect a backgroundworker1 is working:
private void backgroundWorker1_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
BackgroundWorker bgw = (BackgroundWorker)sender;
if (bgw.CancellationPending == true)
return;
else
while (true)
bitmaps = ImagesComparison.get_images_with_clouds(b1);
for (int i = 0; i < bitmaps.Length; i++)
bitmaps[i] = ConvertTo1or8Bit.ColorToGrayscale(bitmaps[i]);
break;
What it does is getting into bitmaps(Bitmap[]) 15 new bitmaps from one given bitmap. The given bitmap is b1.
b1 i'm using it in trackBar1 scroll event.
All the new Bitmaps in bitmaps variable array are Format32bppArgb.
While i checked on my hard disk the images(GIF type) i'm using with trackBar1 are all Bit Depth 8.
The images i'm using with trackBar1 scroll event are GIF types and Bit Depth 8 on the properties.
The images i'm using in trackBar2 are Bitmaps and they are Format32bppArgb.
So first thing i thought to convert all the 15 Bitmaps in bitmaps to 8bit:
for (int i = 0; i < bitmaps.Length; i++)
bitmaps[i] = ConvertTo1or8Bit.ColorToGrayscale(bitmaps[i]);
But it didn't work it's just turning them to black gray scale colors not what i was thinking about.
In the backgroundworker completed event i'm converting the bitmaps to 24 like i'm doing with the Gifs in trackBar1 scroll event:
private void backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted(object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
trackBar2.Enabled = true;
trackBar2.Maximum = bitmaps.Length -1;
bitmaps[0].Save(ConvertedBmpDir + "\\bitmapsfirstimage.bmp");
for (int i = 0; i < bitmaps.Length; i++)
ConvertedBitmaps.Add(ConvertTo24(bitmaps[i]));
ConvertedBitmaps[0].Save(ConvertedBmpDir + "\\ConvertedBitmapsFirstImage.bmp");
label2.Text = "עיבוד הנתונים הסתיים";
b1.Dispose();
Then in the trackBar2 scroll event:
private void trackBar2_Scroll(object sender, EventArgs e)
LoadPictureAt(trackBar2.Value, sender);
ConvertedBmp = ConvertedBitmaps[trackBar2.Value - 1];
ConvertedBmp.Save(ConvertedBmpDir + "\\ConvertedBmp.bmp");
mymem = ToStream(ConvertedBmp, ImageFormat.Bmp);
backTexture = TextureLoader.FromStream(D3Ddev, mymem);
scannedCloudsTexture = new Texture(D3Ddev, 512, 512, 1, Usage.Dynamic, Format.A8R8G8B8, Pool.Default);
timer1.Stop();
Button1Code();
timer1.Start();
The same i did with the trackBar1 scroll event.
But the result in trackBar2 i'm getting without using the grayscale convertion is this:
You can see that the color that make the scan now is more yellow or green/yellow and not the same like it is when i'm using the trackBar1.
I can't figure out where the problem is:
1. Maybe since the Bitmaps in the variable array bitmaps are all Format32bppArgb ?
2. Maybe they are Bitmaps and not Gif types like the images in trackBar1 ?
If it does working good with the gifs in trackBar1 scroll event then the whole code in the new form ScanningClouds is working fine so i will not add to here the whole ScanningClouds form code since it's long.
The problem is somewhere with the Bitmaps formas or bits in the variable bitmaps.
Maybe they are not the same or the right Bit Depth or maybe they are Bitmaps and should be Gifs.
bitmaps = ImagesComparison.get_images_with_clouds(b1);
This is the get_images_with_clouds method where i'm getting the new 15 Bitmaps.

I think not sure but i think the problem is that the images on my hard disk i'm using with the trackBar1 scroll event are Gif type and the images i'm using with the trackBar2 scroll event are 15 Bitmaps.Hi,
"But it didn't work it's just turning them to black gray scale colors not what i was thinking about."
If you want it to be colored, you'll need to create a color-palette for the 8bppIndexed bitmaps. The keyword for this process is "Color-Quantization".
The whole yellow-green pie you get is from the wrong format. If you convert the 32bpp bitmaps to 24 bpp bitmaps, you loose the alpha channel ("transparency"). You can manually set one color to "transparent" with the mMakeTransparent-method
of the Bitmap class, or simply use gif-images (they are 8bpp with a transparent "key"-color)

Copying objects from Illustrator CS3 to FreeHand 11.0.2
Working on a Mac in OSX 10.4.11, I was able to select and copy objects in an open Illustrator CS2 file and paste them into an open FreeHand 11.0.2 file, where they would be fully editable. After migrating to OSX 10.6.2 and upgrading to CS3, this no longer works - the objects selected and copied from Illustrator either do not appear (only corner indicators are visible) or a pale version appears as an uneditable low-rez image with funny colors....
Because there are so many missing features in Illustrator, it's important for me to be able to work back and forth between the two apps. Has anyone been able to achieve this (formerly) simple interactivity?I got the following post from Danny Haas:
If you go to Edit>Special>Paste Special and then select AI/EPS from the list
it should paste just fine. It works well for me.
Worked for me too, although text was not imported as editable text. To do
that had to special paste the text separately as unformatted text, and then
reformat in FH.

Subject: Copying objects from Illustrator CS3 to FreeHand 11.0.2
I skipped AICS3, but now use AICS4 for some tasks.
The only solution I've found is to save the AI CS4 file as AI 8, open that
in FHMX and copy from there. -
I had a working version of FreeHand 5 on my XP machine, which I have used to do a great deal of work, mostly newsletters. It has a lot of features which seem to be missing in the MX versions. It stopped working when my backup disk failed. I need a new activation number. I called about it several months ago, but I couldn't find the actual disk. so they couldn't give me the code. Now, I have the disk, and the documentation files, but I cannot contact Adobe again by telephone.

I've just switched from Freehand and I'm going to have a heart attack ...
In two weeks, my tech department is ripping Freehand MX off of my machine and I'll be finally forced to use Illustrator.
I know it is going to take a bit of time to get used to Illustrator after using Freehand for the past 15 years, but if someone out there can help me with two questions, I'd sure appreciate it because the Adobe help files aren't as helpful as I'd hoped. (Adobe: screen captures are a useful visual guide when I can't find the "t-slider" and have no idea what it might look like ...)
1. How do you adjust the tint of a color? Apparently there's supposed to be a "t-slider" in the color palette. Perhaps mine isn't visible for reasons unfathomable, but if I create a color and I want to use 10 percent of that color as a tint, I don't want to whip out a calculator and drag each of the CMYK sliders accordingly. I want to use the feature Freehand had, where you type in "8" in the tint box and voila, you've got 8 percent. InDesign has this feature, so I know Adobe knows about it. Where is the tint slider in Illustrator? (I don't want to change its transparency, I did find that palette easily enough ...)
2. If I paste in a graphic from Freehand into Illustrator, everything comes over on one layer. That's annoying, but understandable. But I can't select parts of the graphic and assign them to new layers, they remain firmly on the first layer they were pasted on unless I copy each item, delete the original, click on my new target layer and paste it on that way -- and then, it doesn't paste perfectly back into place, it moves randomly around the page and I have to reposition it. ARGH! How can you reassign layers without cutting and pasting? Clicking doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
Many, many thanks in advance from a *very* frustrated designer. If I thought I could secretly reinstall Freehand on my machine without tech hunting it down and ripping it out again, I wouldn't be fretting about such things ...Doug, you gave me the first giggle I've had since I opened this blasted program, so thanks for that.
I'd love to keep secretly installing Freehand, because you can save your finished work as an Illustrator file, and I could then open it in Illustrator CS3, save the final as a CS3 EPS file and nobody would be the wiser ... except my tech department is prone to periodic look-sees on everyone's machines, there was a massive freakout that went all the way to the publisher's office when they discovered I'd installed .... wait for it .... free fonts on my machine that weren't part of the Adobe package they bought. In the end I had to yank the fonts out, despite showing them the read-me files that came with the fonts that expressly permitted usage in commercial applications. It's a very controlled environment. I now have 12 days left to start converting all my files ...
The good news is I'm pretty sure they're going to hurl the Freehand install disc at my head when they rip it out of my work station, so I can put it on my home iMac, where I'm still running Tiger. Now to convince them to let me work from home ...
Thanks again to everyone for all the advice,
