Bitmap images using Dreamweaver 4

I have Dreamweaver version 4, and though I can insert JPEG,
PNG, and GIF images the application won't let me insert BMP files
(I insert them, but the image won't appear). Is there any way I can
fix this?
thanks.

>>BMP files are displayed by > Internet Explorer
*only*
Depends on the kind of BMP file it is. And could depend on
the graphics card
of the users computer.
A BMP is a type of bitmap raster graphic in a data file
representing
generally rectangular grid of pixels (points of colour). The
colour of each
pixel is individually defined usually in three bytes...one
byte for each
portion of the RGB colour space.
Photoshop reserves the term "bitmap" for one-bit/channel
images (pure black
or white).
Microsoft's BMP files are generally compressed and need not
even contain
bitmap data (they can contain indexes into palettes).
The monitor doesn't get the raster image. Rather, it gets a
signal which
scans the screen 60 times a second. It's the graphics card
that gets the
raster: it contains memory which it can read and the computer
can write. Of
the several ways the raster could be stored in that memory -
all the red
values together, or the threee colours for each pixel
together, and
vertically or horizontally, etc. etc. - most are in use by
various graphics
cards. It's the job of the device driver toy copy that memory
in the correct
format for the card.
> because the format was invented by Microsoft (I'm
guessing.)
I believe the BMP format was originally developed by IBM but
evolved through
several states by Micosoft since. Microsoft "invented"
version 4 and version
5, BMP formats, for instance.

    Have you looked at your page with images disabled?
    I urge you to re-think this approach to web design because images of text are not indexed by search engines, screen readers or translators.  Given the demographic group your site is targeting, you really need to ensure maximum web accessibility for all users.
    Navigation, headings and descriptions all need to be in real text -- not images of text.
    Ken is right.  Absolute positioning is pure poison for such a simple layout.  My advice is to start over with one of the pre-built Starter Pages in DW.  Go to File > New > Blank page > HTML.  Select a layout from the 3rd column and hit CREATE button.

  • Editing text in bitmap image using Fireworks

    Hello,
    I would like to know how to edit the text in the attached bitmap image using Fireworks. I have attached the image for reference. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Best,
    C. Lee

    I'm sorry, but you cant. A bitmap file doesn't contain editable text, it only contains a grid of colored pixels. What you need to do is create a new image. For that, you'll need to know the color and the font.
    If you don't have the hex code for the color, you can sample with the eyedropper tool. Since the font is so thin, sample at the thickest area you can find to minimize anti-aliasing color blending.
    If you don't know the font, try one of these sites:
    Identifont http://www.identifont.com/
    WhatTheFont! http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/
    (It looks a bit like Century Gothic, but it isn't.)
    Good luck!

  • Adding user comments on images using dreamweaver

    Hi.
    I was wondering is it possible to add a comments section under an image using dreamweaver.
    For example on a website, users can view an uploaded image and make comments underneath it. How do I do this in dreamweaver cs6?
    Thanks

    Hi grampy 84,
    I used the keywords "provide commenting on website" on Google, and found a few links that look to be useful. I do not want to recommend any because I have not tried them myself. However, you could go through what's available and ask the experts here for their opinion.
    Thanks,

  • How do I overlay n number of  bitmap images using Java.

    Hi All,
    I have a task of creating a composite bitmap or a .gif image from "n" number of bitmap images , so that the resulting composite image will look like as if all those "n" images were placed side by side . How can I achieve this ? Can you point me to some place where I can understand the concepts behind this?

    Create a new BufferedImage with the dimensions of all the images you want combined, then paint all the images into it through the Graphics object you can obtain from the BufferedImage. Then write out the image using the ImageIO class.

  • How can I trigger a lightbox slide show with a single image using Dreamweaver?

    I'm trying to build a page for a cosmetics company in which clicking on a color swatch opens a lightbox-style slide show of model shots using that color makeup. Each swatch should trigger a different slideshow. I'm using Dreamweaver (CS6), and I'm sure there must be an easy way to do this, but I haven't figured it out yet. (It would be a snap in Flash, but alas, the site needs to work on a broad range of devices).
    I'd appreciate any ideas, and please make your instuction easy to follow if possible—pretend you're talking to a dog, or an eighty-six-year-old—because I may not be as experienced as I ought to be. Probably not.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

  • Is there a way to list all of the active images using Dreamweaver?

    Is there a way to LIST OUT all of the active images that are currently being used on a page in Dreamweaver?  Or do I have to click each one and write down the image name by hand?
    Thanks!
    LJ

    Here are 2 ways to "start over":
    1. remove all photos (or all extraneous photos anyway) from existing catalog (e.g. all photos collection, ctrl/cmd-a, then delete key).
    2. create a new catalog (see file menu).
    It sounds like #2 would be best for you, so you don't have extraneous keywords in your catalog etc.

  • Bitmap image not showing up on windows title bar in windows server 2012 std

    I have an application written in VC++ (MFC). Its a legacy app. Recently we were asked to check its compatibility with windows server 2012 std edition. We found some issues and one of those is as follows:
    1) We display a BITMAP image using Windows.StretchBlt() function on the titlebar of the app. It shows up properly in windows server 2003, win XP and win 7. But doesn't show up in windows server 2012. I am assuming its a windows paint issue because button
    is there on titlebar as I can click on it and see the expected behavior. But its just not visible.
    Here is some technical workflow:
    -> This function get called to paint the framwnd-
            CMainFrame::OnNcPaint()
                 CMDIFrameWnd::OnNcPaint();
                 // here we have code to paint the bitmap
    Could anyone here please tell me why the same code is behaving differently in win server 2012? Also if there is any solution for this.

    This forum is more of a general purpose forum about Windows Server.  You question is more closely related to programming issues.  You would be better served to post in a .NET development forum.

  • Using a script to get the color of a colorized Black & White Bitmap image

    I've been running into this wall for quite some time and would greatly appreciate any help that can given for it.
    I have an Illustrator script that runs inside of a BridgeTalk session within an InDesign script.  Yeah, it's complicated.  The upshot is that the Illustrator part opens up an EPS file, looks through all objects on a certain layer in that file, and returns an array of the colors used in it.  So, it looks at fill colors, stroke colors, gradient stops, etc.  One of the biggest stumbling blocks (next to PlugIn Items, which I'll ask about in a separate post) is getting the color of raster images.
    Most raster images, I realize, are going to be CMYK or RGB images, but our company mostly deals with either Grayscale images or Black & White Bitmaps that are embedded in the EPS file.  Those two allow the ability to colorize them by simply selecting them and then choosing a color, such as a spot PANTONE color from one of their color books.
    Now, I need the script to read the color that the raster image has been colorized with.  This works okay for images that have a GrayScale color space, as the script just looks at Colorant[0] of that image.  However, I run into a problem with Black & White Bitmap images.  Here's a piece of code that I try to make work with an EPS file that has a raster image:
    var document = app.activeDocument;
    for (var i = 0; i < document.layers[0].pageItems.length; i++) {
              // Stepping through each item on the layer.
              var currentItem = document.layers[0].pageItems[i];
              $.writeln("Current item is " + currentItem.typename);
              $.writeln("Number of channels is " + currentItem.channels);
              $.writeln("Color Space is " + currentItem.imageColorSpace);
              $.writeln("Colorized Grayscale? " + currentItem.colorizedGrayscale);
              $.writeln("Number of Colorants: " + currentItem.colorants.length);
              for (var j = 0; j < currentItem.colorants.length; j++)
                        $.writeln("Colorant number " + j + " is " + currentItem.colorants[j]);
              $.writeln("Its parent is " + currentItem.parent);
              $.writeln("Parent's typename is " + currentItem.parent.typename);
    This code runs successfully on an Illustrator file that has a Black & White Bitmap image on the top layer, but if you try and run it, you'll see the problem:  Even if you've colorized your Bitmap image with a PANTONE spot color (and the script even returns "true" on the line "Colorized Grayscale?"), Colorant number 0 is "Gray".  It should be the spot color assigned, not "Gray".
    Can anyone please help me figure out how to get the script to recognize the actual colorant of a Black & White Bitmap image in Illustrator?

    If you're a professional photographer with 50,000 pictures stored now and more coming all the time, you need to forget about using iPhoto and get yourself some professional-quality digital asset management software. iPhoto is not meant for people like you, and instead of providing a simple, elegant one-stop answer to all your needs, iPhoto is actually complicating your life.
    You need an application that will:
    - catalog ALL your images and keep track of where they are, no matter how many DVDs, folders, partitions or hard drives they're spread over;
    - display thumbnails of ALL of them, even when the DVD that contains them is not present in any drive, so you can select all the ones you want for a project;
    - find and copy (or export) the originals of all the files you've selected in the browser window, even if it means prompting you to insert the necessary DVDs for all of them.
    I suggest Googling "digital asset management software Macintosh" and seeing what turns up. I used to use an old version of Extensis Portfolio, and even that would have been better for your purposes than iPhoto is.

  • What behavior would I use to make a bitmap image shake? Thanks.

    What behavior would I use to make a bitmap image shake? Thanks.

    There are several options for making images (or any object) shake:
    -Earthquake Filter
    -Randomize Behavior (Parameter Behaviors)
    -Wriggle Behavior (Parameter Behaviors)
    You can apply these to the X&Y together, or 1 instance to each channel.

  • Using Background Image In Dreamweaver

    Good evening.

    thanks guys, and gals...

    Background-size would do the trick, but keep in mind, most CSS3 does not function in IE9 (though this will), and won't at all in IE8 and down. If you need it to work in those browsers, the best way to do it would be with javascript. I've used the script available on this site with some success...

  • Adding dynamic images to your website using Dreamweaver

    Hi
    I've been working on a website which has been in use by public for some months now.
    I recently wanted to add a simple product catelogue.   I can do this just by creating my database connection and using the recordsets.
    However I wanted to add an image thumbnail to each product record.
    I found the above topic in the Adobe Help 'Adding dynamic images to your website using Dreamweaver'
    What I really would like to know is what exactly is put in the image_location field of the table, how is this field populated and then how to view the picture.
    I have tried, as per instructions, but the picture is not showing.
    I use php as I dont know coldfusion, but I'm sure the process must be pretty similar.
    If anyone can shed some light then that would be really appreciated.
    Many thanks liz

    As most anyone else will say, so I will say; *please don't

    Playing music on a site is fine, but making it play
    automatically when you
    go to the site will alienate lots of people; especially those
    having a quick
    web surf at work or who have other music on whilst they're
    working.
    But back to your question; have a look at the XSPF music
    player
    http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/).
    It comes in different visual versions
    (can modify it with a bit of Flash knowledge), allows you to
    select
    different songs or just leave it looping, or you can just
    loop one song. And
    yes, you can make it start automatically.

  • HOW DO I MAKE IMAGES DYNAMIC USING DREAMWEAVER & MySql

    Hi there,
       I wanted to make images dynamic in that the images would be stored in my database and then use dreamweaver to pull the images from the database using a recordset. But how do I get to store the images in MySql now that dreamweaver doesn't support BLOB and also how do I make dreamweaver pull the images from that database? PLZ somebody help

    To pull the image from Database on to your page
    1. Open your php page
    2. put your cursor where you want the image to show on the page
    3. insert>image>Select File Name From: Data Sources>select record from recordset> click ok
    4. View in browser
    In Mysyl the image was stored as a "longblob" type with "binary" attributes
    but my system is Dreamweaver CS3.
    Hope this helps. Let me know.

  • I have installed a trial of Adobe illustrator on my macbook pro. I want to trace an image using the custom trace button but can't. Does anyone have any ideas how I could custom trace?

    I have installed a trial of Adobe illustrator on my macbook pro. It is the 2014 release of adobe illustrator. I want to trace an image using the custom trace button.
    I start a new document. Then I place my scanned pencil/colored pencil drawing, in to the document. I have tried scanning and then placing it as a jpeg, bitmap, and tiff file. I have tried scanning and then placing it, in color and in black and white. The scan mode I use is flatbed. Adobe illustrator allows me to select the default button and one of eleven preset buttons (e.g high fidelity photo), but it does not allow me to click the custom trace button. The custom trace button is grey while all the other buttons are white.
    Does anyone have any ideas how I could custom trace?

    It seems pointless to adjust it afterwards because it is then only a couple a pencil lines rather then a full drawing. And how do I adjust it afterwards? Would I do this using the different buttons under the window button?

  • How can I convert a bitmap image into an array in LabVIEW 6.0.2, then to a spreadsheet for further analysis without NI-IMAQ or Vision?

    I do not have NI-IMAQ or NI Vision.
    I acquired the image using a picolo board then just saved it as a bitmap file.

    You want to convert it to an array of what? Of numbers? Of LabVIEW colors?
    The "Read BMP File.vi" VI outputs a 1-D array of the pixels, but I suspect it is not exactly in the format that you need. I am NOT sure, but I think that each group of 3 elements of that 1-D array (which is inside the cluster "image data" that the VI outputs) represents the red, green and blue levels of a single pixel (but it may be hue, saturation and lum.). Also, since it is a 1-D array, you would have to divide it by the width (which is also included in the "image data" cluster) to get some sort of 2-D array of data.
    You can find the "Read BMP File.vi" VI in the functions palete> "Graphics & sound">"Graphics Formats".
