A way to resize images so that all are the same size??

I've got a minor complaint about InDesign going all the way back to version 1.0. I have a bunch of square images that I want to drop into a layout and then resize so that they're all the same size, e.g 2 inches wide (constrained height) or something. However, all the tools I've tried to make this work only resize all the images by percent, so the ones that started out larger are still too large. Its frankly a huge source of stress, since there's no easy "Actions" palette as in Photoshop and I don't want to resort to real scripting. Can anyone tell me if there's a way to resize images absolutely in the layout?
Thanks in advance!

Change your first frame using the control panel's H and W fields. Then
select the rest of the frames and use the object>transform
again>transform sequence again individually command.
But you'd really be better off creating one and then using step and
repeat to get them all correct. Use the frame fitting options before
placing any graphics and you'll be good to go.

  • Resizing images on two layers to the same size?

    OK, it's kind of difficult to explain but what I am trying to do is create posters in pages and I am pasting photographs in there from different layers of the same photo and then resizing them. But the trouble is getting both to the same size, is there an autosnap feature for this or something?
    I find it kind of irksome when I create an image and resize it to a specific dimension in preview then copy+paste it into a Pages document of the same dimensions and it resizes it smaller.
    How do I get it to the same size without manually dragging the corners with my mouse?
    Does that question make sense? Can anyone help?

    Actually I just found a neat way to do it in GIMP (great peice of software BTW) the question remains of how to resize it in Pages...

  • I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 that all share the same iTunes account (apps, music, etc), but I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps?

    I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library.  The problem is I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps? This is probably a common problem with families wanting to share apps and music without realizing the issues created by this approach. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates. The problem would be how to keep all the apps, etc from being deleted off the second and third phones that were originally loaded from the one iTunes acct. Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, someone out there can help me??  Please?

  • "SUMIF requires that all range arguments are the same size."

    I just downloaded the Mac app Numbers for the first time today and opened an microsoft excel sheet from my old PC. In every cell where I have a SUMIF function is has an error icon in it. When I click the icon is says, "SUMIF requires that all range arguements are the same size." I tried retyping the function and it did not change. What else can I do to fix this issue? Is SUMIF supported on the Numbers app? Thanks.

    Jace,
    Sumif does work in Numbers, all versions. There is just some problem with the import translation of the spreadsheet.
    If you will post a screen shot of the layout of your document and Paste the actual expression here in your post so we can examine it, we may be able to help.

  • HT204053 I changed my apple ID. What can I do to change the icloud ID also so that they are the same.

    I changed my Apple ID. What can I do to change my icloud ID also so that they are the same.

    If you used the "Manage your Apple ID" login at https://appleid.apple.com to simply change your primary email address of your existing AppleID, then all you need do is log out of iCloud and then log back in with the new email.  If on an iOS device, go to settings, delete the iCloud account, and then log back into it with the new email address.
    If you actually created a wholly new AppleID, then you cannot change that for your existing iCloud address.  You can make a new iCloud account with the new AppleID.  But your current iCloud login would continue to use the same AppleID as its login.

  • IPhone question:  Im trying to update applications on my iphone.  When I do it I'm as for password from a different Apple ID from what I have in Itunes.  How do I change so that both are the same?

    IPhone question:  Im trying to update applications on my iphone.  When I do it I'm as for password from a different Apple ID from what I have in Itunes.  How do I change so that both are the same?

    All apps are tied to the apple id that it was used to purchase or download the app.
    did you use a different id to buy the app?
    you can change id, settings - appstore - apple id - log out and log in with correct id.

  • Resizing photo's of paintings so they all are the same height.

    The question looks simple, but it's not so easy (at least, it's not for me).
    Last week I have made photo's of 140 different paintings. Some paintings were very big, some were very small, some where rectangle shape, some were square shape. All paintings were set upon a stand and I photographed all of them from my tripod. So you can understand that on some pictures I have large paintings and on some photos I have small paintings. Now I want to remove everything around the painting so that my photo ONLY shows the painting (even the border around the painting has to be removed). To make life a bit easier I tried to make an action to help me with this, but I can't get it to work. That's why I came here because in the past all my questions were answered here.
    What do I do?
    First I select only the painting. Then I inverse my selection and remove it. So I'm now left with a photo of only the painting. So far no problem.
    Then I select the painting and with CTRL T I place the 'reference point location to the upper left corner and than set the height to 2000px. The painting now becomes 2000px high, but the width isn't corrected so I click on the 'maintain aspect ratio' and the painting is okay. This is now done with (for example a square painting).
    But when I now perform this action on a rectangle painting, the end-result is a square painting. Where do I go wrong?

    So, you are wanting the Height of every painting to be 2000 px? Regardless of aspect ratio?
    If so...
    I would get to where you have deleted the inverted selection (on a layer, so you have transparent pixels around the painting).
    Then record an action:
    Image>Trim>Transparent Pixels then Image Size>Height 2000 px (Constrain Proportions checked).
    Those steps in an Action should give you images all 2000px high while respecting original aspect ratio.

  • We have an iphone and 2 ipods that all use the same icloud. How can I get it to where the messages and contacts from each device are not shared

    My husband is getting all of my childrens messages on his phone. How can I change that or does he need his own apple ID? If so do we need to rest his phone to register it under him?

    Yes he would need his own apple id for imessage/facetime and icloud.
    In the meantime on his device go to settings - message - send&receive - remove the shared apple id.

  • I upgraded my IOS on my iphone 4s tonight and now I am getting my daughter's text messages sent only to her iphone 3. We have an iphone3, an iphone 4, and an iphone 4s that all use the same Apple ID.

    I do not want to change this setting so if that is the problem, how do I undo the upgrade?

    Just use one Apple ID for App Store, and separate Apple ID's for everything else.
    Set one Apple ID for App Store on all three iPhones, and then for iMessage, Facetime, Photostream and iCloud - separate for each headset.
    You can't undo firmware upgrade. Just make separate ID's because there is the point of using one Apple ID for App Store (Financial resons), but using one apple ID for iCloud and rest is absolutely pointless.

  • When duplicating a field, even when the original field is locked, the duplicated fields appear at different positions on pages that are the same size. How do I make them uniform?

    I'm trying to put a hidden time stamp field on the bottom of all pages of a thousand page document, yet when I duplicate the field, the reproduced fields appear at different positions on different pages. Is there a way to make them all appear uniformly on each page. I've tried using the Lock function in the Properties menu before duplicating but to no avail. Please help.

    I go to Tools>Forms> Edit...Do you want to detect...No. Add New Field>Text Field. I lay out my field at the bottom of the page, adjust the Properties (Hidden but printable, read only, font, alignment), Lock the Properties. Then I right-click and hit Duplicate.

  • How to create a 4 page pdf from images - each page should open at same size

    How do I create a 4 page pdf (from 4 images - all the same size) that opens each page at  full page size?
    Thank you so much.
    Ginger
    PREVIOUS MSG:
    My goal is to create multi page pdfs that are created from images (scans of old brochures).  I receive images (scans of pages) all at the same size.
    I have been able to create the 4 pdfs (each opens at full page size) and merge into 1 pdf.  When I open that final pdf, I  see a column of 4 pages, page 1 image being larger than the remaining 3. When I  click on the left, page 1, icon,  I get the full page.  When I click on icons for pages 2 - 4, I get nothing.  The only way I can get the other pages in a full page view is to adjust the scaling after left icon is selected.  That is not what I want.
    How I created the files.
    I can either create pdf pages using Photoshop, or using Acrobat Pro itself through:
    File> Create PDF> From File and adding each of the images.  I then, for each, choose Properties> Initial View> Fit Page> Save. Then I use File> Combine> Merge Files into Single PDF> Save.
    Then I open the multi page pdf.
    I appreciate any help.
    Thank you,
    Ginger

    It seems to me what you want to do is create one document which a combination of all four  and then one page of each.
    To create a Document with 4 pages combined in to one PDF.  open the first in a Series the to Edit menu and click on add pages click on next document (browse to document first) the choose attach to to end of document or add to  end of document. Repeat until you get all images added. They will end up (or should ) center in center of their own page. Save this document with a new name for now.
    Next go back to Photo shop and reduce size of images to fit desired sheet of paper (8-1/2 by 11, 8-1/2 by 14, whatever) place them side by side and row by row so you have 4 images on one page.
    now save as Pdf.
    now decide which you want to swap to the Thumbnails (the 4 on one page, or 4 individual pages.  I would use the thumbnails and make each a button that references the page in the document you save as a 4 page pdf that applies.
    Then on that page write a line saying click each illustration to see full size image (you might have to write this line while in Photoshop) then save this as PDF file
    Try out. You might have to use some javascript controls to do this. But I am not experienced in JavaScript to do this. I'm sure it cane be done.
    But note you will have to save both documents with the Thumbnails and the four page and Thumbnail page in a folder and send to prospect
    If you want just four separate pages in one Pdf just do first two paragraphs above

  • Is there a way to change the size of a lot of shapes on your slide at once (to the same size)?

    Hello,
    I am using Captivate 8. I have a slide with a lot of smart shapes that are the same - size, color, etc.  If I want to make them all smaller, and still with the exact same dimensions, can I do it all at once.  In other words, can i save size into a style?
    Thank you!
    Ryan

    Size is never included in a style for a shape.
    If you want to apply the resizing to all shapes, you can use the small flyout menu after applying the resizing to one shape, and choose Apply to all items of this type.
