Are pictures embedded in the file?
Dear community,
I'm having an issue with an InDesign file. It's a 160 page catalogue file which weights around 350MB. I did receive it from other graphic designer. It was not packed the way it usually is (zipped with all the typefaces and pictures). Upon opening the file I've noticed that the quality of the pictures is not bad. I thought that the pictures were embedded. I did notice though the red exclamation marks in the links panel, they were saying that the links are missing.
From what I read there should be an icon next to the linked file, stating that the file is embedded. I don't see it there.
I started to feel even more confused when I've exported file for the print (300 dpi etc). Everything seems to look fine. For a second I thought that maybe inDesign is downloading files automatically from the server when I'm exporting the file. It was not (I've turned the wifi off second time).
Can someone please shed some light? In some time I will have to edit the file and I'm not sure if it's correctly prepared and if I have to manually relink over 1000 pictures.
Thank you kindly in advance,
Damian
The PDF you export might look OK on screen and maybe even in print from a desktop printer, but you can't use it on a press if the links are missing.
As far as the huge file size, try a Save As and see if it comes down. It may also have a lot of native or pasted vector objects which would add to the size.

Are keywords added through Lightroom embedded into the file itself?
I'm new to Lightroom. I'm looking for a way to organize my pictures and videos. But I'm also hestitant because I have no idea whether Lightroom will be around 10, 15 or 20 years from now. When I apply a keyword to a file, is that keyword permanently embedded into the file itself? The reason I'm asking is I'm most likely going to spend a ton of time applying keywords to my files. What happens if 10 years down the road Lightroom disappears or a need to move to a new program? Are the keywords dependent on Lightroom or will the keywords that I add to the picture and videos remain with those files and be recognized by the new program?
Yes, LR writes the keywords, and indeed all the metadata from the right-hand side (title, caption, capture date, etc.), into industry-standard fields in the image's file. LR is reasonably compliant with industry standards, so you can be confident that your data will be read by programs in the future.
Most people set the option Catalog Settings > Metadata > Automatically Write Changes Into XMP, which will write the metadata back to the file in background after you change it. If you don't set that option, you'll have to manually do Metadata > Save Metadata To File.
Important note for video: LR does not fully support video metadata, and it doesn't write any metadata back to videos. So if you want your metadata to get written back to the file system independent of the LR catalog, you'll need to use either the Video Asset Management plugin or the Any File plugin to manage your video. These third-party plugins create "sidecar" JPEG files into which your metadata changes will be stored. -
Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. I know that the folders that have the problem were not transferred to the hard drive via a photo transfer application (I have a Canon camera) but I simply copied them out of the photo card and onto my old PC.
Is there some way I can open these pictures on my Mac? They work fine on a PC.Thanks for your reply.
The files don't open in preview either. In preview I get the error message 'The file "xxxx_xxx.jpg" could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize'. The folders with these un-openable pictures do not even get imported into iPhoto. When I try to import them I get an error message about the files being unreadable.
The color profile information on the un-openable files is not visible but I see that all the other files from my old drive are RGB. -
When I email an attachment (a .jpg file) with "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" checked, the result is a picture embedded in the body of the email, not a attachment. What am I doing wrong.
1. "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" has nothing to do with the display of attachments on either your machine or other ones. It's an esoteric setting that strips the resource fork from Mac files (that might have them) which could apper as a duplicate file on the Windows machine.
2. Send Plain Text emails. Then it will always be received as an attachment. -
Why is it that even after editing a picture under iPhoto, the original picture is still the file that is being exported?
because you are exporting the original?
SInce you give us no information at all we can only guess and that is the most likely
How are you editing the photo - iPhoto? An external editor? How?
how are you exporting?
Remember we are users just like you - not psychics

I am trying to enter a split point for a file going on a dual layer disc. There are chapter markers in the file but auto function does not see them. Went back and put a small split in the timeline in fcp and exported to mpeg 2 again and auto function does not see that either? Manual msays to manualy enter split poind in DVDSP but can't find any way to enter that split point in DVDSP? How can I manualy enter a split point in DVDSP 3 or 4?
Elizabeth/Roger Cook FilmsThis is definitely not the behavior I see. When I left click it adds a marker,
When I right click, I see the following
Do you have any OS hacks installed on your computer or have you changed the mouse behavior in system preferences: mouse? If not, I'd suggest you run digital rebellions preference manager and reset your dvdsp preferences.

Hi. I need some help on the following problem. I opened iPhoto and, suddenly, it tells me " WHAT IPHOTO LIBRARY DO I WANT TO USE?" but i had a iPhoto library. When i search on my Pictures, i have the file IPHOTO LIBRARY but is was not the icon on it i previously remembered and it appears on a dim letters and it can not be opened ... How can i recover it??
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

My Photo Stream works and I have iCloud control panel installed. The photo stream sync is selected, but when I go to the my photo stream folder on my windows PC there are no photos in the file.
mlvov,
I did as you said and went to the icloud control panel on my Windows 8 Laptop to be sure I was looking at the correct folder for my photo stream. All my "shared" albulms pushed to my Laptop and are up-to-date with the exception of the "photostream" album. If I create a "shared stream album" and place photo's in it on the phone; I can see the photos on my laptop. I dont get it. I had a iphone 4s and had zero isues and now with my new nifty iPhone 5s it doesent work.
What am I not doing correctly.
Thanks,
iPhone, 5s, iOS 7.0.2 -
TS4002 Are pictures taken on the iphone stored in the cloud?
Are pictures taken on the iphone stored in the cloud?
If you are backing up to iCloud, your camera roll photos are stored in your backup (but can only be accessed by restoring your device to the entire backup). If you enable photo stream in Settings>iCloud, photos taken after enabling it are stored in your photo stream (up to 1000 photos) for 30 days.

The words in my .docx file are getting merged when the file is transferred to another computer for printing. For eg. the sentence "rate of success ......" is displayed as "rateof success" on the other computer. What could
be the reason for this? How to solve this issue?Have you checked that the document is using the exact same font on both machines? If the second machine doesn't have the font installed that's used in the original document on the first machine, Word will pick the closest matching font, and that may
display slightly differently. -

Suddenly, one of my iPhone libraries will not open with 86 gigs of images: it opens and says there are no photos, yet by other looking, all the images are there and when backing up, it takes an hour.
Somehow iPhoto application will not recognize the images (over 13,000) in the file.
Any suggestions as to how to fix the matter<
Dr. Harris, BermudaTo move from iPhoto 08 (which is v7) to iPhoto 11 (which is v9) requires that you purchase iPhoto 11. Your software update is running just fine. V7.1.5 is last version of iPhoto 08.
Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
As to the problematic library:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption. -
Syncing pictures without duping the file
I already had a photo library file on my Iphone with a few pics. I added new pics by syncing from my pc and it duplicated the file on my Iphone and added a second file using the name I had the pictures saved in from the PC. Now I have two files with the same pictures. Any suggestions?
One thing that might help out.
If you synced photos to the pc that you had taken with the iphone, these photos remain on the iphone unless you have the wizard remove them or you remove them manually.
Then if you sync them back to the iphone, the photos now show up in Photo Library and Camera roll.
When the iphone is connected to the computer and has photos taken with the iphone, you can open the iphone in my computer to see the photos or delete them. You cannot add photos back this way.
Another thing that might help out.
When you sync photos to the iphone from the computer, the photos might show up in what seems 2 sections.
The first section is called the Photo Library.
This section is the main holding place for all photos.
Then if you are syncing a particular folder or album the iphone will create another listing with he name of that folder or album.
To save space, the iphone does not duplicate the pictures in 2 different sections of the iphone.
Instead the iphone create a link to what is already in the Photo Library.
This feature is to help organize the photos on your iphone.
So, if you are syncing multiple folders or albums, you can see the contents of that folder or album on the iphone without having to view every thing.
Hope this helps. -
Cascading Style Sheets are NOT written to the file system
Hallo,
On the "Cascading Style Sheets" page is written that: "The Cascading Style Sheets are written to the file system, so you can reference them in your HTML source code."
I am true that if this works I can reference the css with something like this?
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/i/sample.css" type="text/css">
and do not need this style:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="#APP_IMAGES#sample.css" type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#sample.css" type="text/css">
I have looked on the "Cascading Style Sheets" page: http://127.0.0.1:7780/apex/f?p=4000:37
Are there some other preferences, options, etc. to set that this will be working?
Thx for your help. WilliHi,
CSS files uploaded through Shared Components, Cascading Style Sheets are written into the database, so you would have to use:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#sample.css" type="text/css"/>You should be able to see these if you run the following in SQL Commands:
SELECT * FROM APEX_APPLICATION_FILES
WHERE UPPER(FILENAME) LIKE '%CSS%'Andy
