Can't adjust images

Whenever I select an image and show the "adjust image" panel, pages will not allow me to actually change any of these settings. The sliders just won't move and the "Enhance" and "Reset Image" buttons are grayed out. I've been using Pages for nearly a month and have yet to figure this out-- all images in all of my documents have been un-editable. Am I missing something obvious here?

I believe they were originally imported from an Adobe Illustrator file. Is it the permissions on the image itself?
The principle of the thing is that while a colour photograph in TIFF or JPEG format is one and only one object in one and only one file, a colour photograph in PDF Portable Document Format is one object in a file format that can contain indefinitely many objects, and the objects can independently of one another by in one or more colourant components and in one or more colour management models (or left not colour managed). While it is clear what to colour correct in TIFF or JPEG, it is not clear what to colour correct in PDF, so colour correction is not implemented for this file format. If you want to colour correct a PDF in Apple system software, open the PDF in Apple Preview, save to disk as TIFF, open the TIFF in Apple Preview, and apply your colour corrections. Check the resolution of your TIFF in Preview > Tools > Get Info > Summary > Image DPI (Dots Per Inch). By default this will produce 150 DPI which is sufficient for a desktop printer, but for a digital press you need 300 DPI. If you are aiming for a digital press, convert from PDF to TIFF in another application that lets you control the resolution.

Can't adjust images in pages document

a bunch of jpgs of artwork will not allow me to adjust them in pages
the adjust window will pop up, but will not allow me to adjust any parameters
whereas most other jpgs will work just fine making adjustments
help!! what is wrong that pages won't let me adjust some jpgs?

Here's the explanation. When I transferred the document to Pages, I did a copy and paste of the text boxes and graphics. What I didn't understand was that, after they were in Pages, they would no longer need to be edited.
I have been printing the brochure from the Pages document for months. It wasn't until now that I needed to edit it. It came as a surprise to discover that in copying and pasting text boxes between these two applications, I lost the ability to edit them.
I have now selected the text from the original document and created a new text box in Pages and pasted the text into it. It can now be edited further if necessary.
Thanks for discovering where my error was.
The original brochure was created as an Appleworks Draw document and cannot be opened in Pages. Before I upgrade my iMac from OS 10.6.8 to Maverick, I need to make sure that I have created fresh Pages documents whenever I used a Draw document in Appleworks.
The dilemma is solved. Thank you.

I have 4 equal oblong shape created with borders How do I go about knowing what size the selection area is so that I can crop an image to fit. I don't want to use paste in then adjust the bounding box to suit

How do I save a photo after I have zoomed in on it? I want to save the zoom-in as a new photo and can't work out why this doesn't work the same way saving a cropped image, or adjusted image does. Thank you.

I can save a cropped image or an adjusted image. Thanks, Lily A.

Hi Matt, thanks for your reply. Have realised that Zoom in Iphoto is just a viewing tool and not an editing tool.
Was creating beautiful abstractions by zooming in and wanted to create a new image of the result. Have since discovered that cropping after zooming takes me a little way to where I want to go but it isn't the same effect. Will perhaps have to try to create it when actually shooting. Am doing a photoshop course in February and maybe will learn a bit more then, too. Am pretty much an amateur just finding my way.
Thanks again,
Best, Lily

I can't adjust the duration of iMovie videos and images with precision on iPhone. It gets back at 0,3 seconds.

During my iMovie project, after 2 minutes. I can't adjust the length of images or videos with precision as normal. If I sweep it a little bit, it gets to 20 or more minutes. Can you help me out?

I recently switched to Aperture. When I opened an image I imported from iPhoto, I don't have an option to edit it. Top of "Adjustments" tab says "image offline". How can I adjust Aperture so I can make adjustment to my iPhoto images?

I never tried importing from the iPhoto library as referenced images. I wonder if Aperture can access images stored in an iPhoto library package? Even if it would work, it sounds like a bad thing to do.
You might consider starting over and this time have Aperture manage the images. That will copy them to the Aperture library, leaving the iPhoto library untouched. This assumes you have sufficient space to make a complete copy of all the images in your iPhoto library plus another copy of each image that Aperture makes as the preview image. You can then back up your iPhoto library (two backup copies, just to be sure) then remove it from your hard drive when you start getting too low on space. As I write this I don't know where your iPhoto or Aperture libraries are/will be located so I'm assuming you have them on your HD.

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter. If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
How large a date change are you putting in? iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time. If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
If that is not the case:
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
Let me know the results.

Microsoft store will provide a download manager (.exe) using your Product Key, which needs to be run on a PC. This manager will then let you download an ISO image to a USB and/or DVD.

Digitally signing using Acrobat XI and Mac OS 10.9.2- won't let me type signature- the box appears but can't adjust font or any other aspect of text.

I just purchased Acrobat XI pro for Mac. I have OS 10.9.2 When I got to digitally sign, it only allows me to sign using certificate- which does not render a legible name- and is an apple authorization certificate. Or if I go to "type text" the only type showing in the box is Helvetica 12. I can't adjust that. then I put my name in and that's it. It does not look like a signature. I was hoping to insert an image
or at least have it look like a signature.
What can fix this?
Darcy

When I click "place signature" I only have one option.
It asks me "How would you like to create your signature?
The only option available to me is "use a certificate- When I attempt to use another option there are some but they are not available to me."use an image" draw my signature, or type my signature
are not available.
For that reason I went to preferences to see what I could do to change the settings- and all I could do was manage the certificate signature- so that it looks better than it did.
As an aside- after doing that- the document went on and the person couldn't sign because it had an "open password" If you also know about that- that would be great.
This is the only reason I purchased the Adobe XI so I could draw my signature or type it and have it appear as a signature.

How to batch change multiple adjusted images by a fixed amount?

Anyone know of a way to change the adjustment values of multiple previously adjusted images by a fixed amount? For example, if, after adjusting exposure of multiple images by various amounts, I want to lighten them all by 0.5, is there a way to do this? If I lift an exposure adjustment value of 0.5 from one image and stamp it on others that have non-zero values of x, even with the stamp option set to "add" rather than "replace", they all end up with exposure 0.5 rather than x + 0.5.

Nope - no way. but... you can add a different adjustment that does the same thing. For instance if you adjusted the exposure individually and you want to lighten them by a fix amount on top of that you could just add a levels or curves that does the exact same thing.

Help. Can't reopen images in Bridge/PS

When I save an image as a tif in PS I can only reopen the image in Google Chrome 41.0 or Windows Live Photo Gallery 15.4 (default.) I can't reopen the image in Bridge. I've already tried resetting PS preferences several times but that did not solve the problem.

Photog Max wrote:
How to I then get the images to open in raw?
If it is a RAW image when you select Open or Open With > PS CC 2014 it should automatically open Adobe Camera Raw with that image included.
Or while in Bridge and you Right Click on any image file, even JPGs, you can select Open In Camera RAW. That opens just Adobe Camera Raw and from that you can make adjustments and then click Done and those adjustments are saved to the file or to a sidecar file or you can click Open and PS will then open up with the adjustments you made.
You can also click the Save Image button and save the adjusted image in many different formats, JPG, Tif, DNG or Photoshop which I think will save it as a PSD file.
Also if you have PS set to open JPGs in ACR before it opens completely in PS then any JPG file you double click on in the film strip or right click and select Open or Open With and select PS will also open ACR first.

"Adjust Image" resets to incorrect image values

Greetings all,
I have been using Pages for developing image-rich documents over the last several years and have found it a very helpful tool for my work.
I normally use the "Enhance" button found in the "Adjust Image" dialog to quickly improve the appearance of images in my documents. If the enhancement is not helpful, I use the "Reset Image" button to revert to the original version of the image. None of the slider controls in the dialog box are modified as part of these operations.
A couple of days ago I noticed that when I reset images now the slider for "Sharpness" moves to 75 (greatly affecting the sharpness of the image, and decreasing its quality).
I am unable to find a place where I can control the default state for this setting, which I would like to remain at 0 when I reset images. I have for the last couple of days done this manually after each reset - which is less efficient and diminishes some of the utility of this program.
I have found this issue also present with Keynote. Earlier today I erased and reinstalled iWork, including support and plist files found at:
HD/Library/Application Support/iWork '09,
HD/Library/Preferences (com.apple.iWork09.Installer.plist and com.apple.iWork09.plist),
~/Application Support/iWork
~/Preferences/com.apple.iWork.Keynote.LSSharedFileList.plist
~/Preferences/com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist
~/Preferences/com.apple.iWork.Pages.LSSharedFileList.plist
~/Preferences/com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
The problem still persists. I would appreciate it if you could share answers to these questions:
- Is there a setting to control the behavior of the Reset button in "Adjust Image" so that Sharpness remains at 0,
- Are there additional files I should remove for a complete reinstall of iWork,
- Is "Adjust Image" part of another program outside of iWork (Preview, iPhoto, etc) where I could set its default behavior?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Antonio

I received show from client with placeholders and most (but not all) images sharpened to 75.
I didn't reinstall iWorks since I didn't want to take any chance right before large live show.
All images were tied to a master slide but changing the master placeholder had no effect on Adjustments. I manually changed the Sharpness to "0" on over 200 images so that they looked better and Magic Move transition worked. I don't ever want to go through that again.
After show I did more research and tests and still don't know cause of problem but here is a fix if something happens in future. This method should work for changing other "Adjustments":
1. Duplicate Keynote file for safety and save as different name (e.g. Unsharpen.key)
2. Change file extension .key to .zip & unzip the file. It becomes "Unsharpen" folder.
3. Find "index.apxl" in folder and open with an Xml editor or TextEdit.app (worked better)
4. Within text "Find" this text string (with quotes): <sf:kSFRSharpnessProperty><sf:number sfa:number="75"
5. Replace with: <sf:kSFRSharpnessProperty><sf:number sfa:number="0"
6. Then Replace All
7. Save text file and quit editor
Here's the tricky part...
8. Rename the text file to "index.apxl.gz" (without quotes)
9. Right Click "Unsharpen" folder name and Get Info
10. Add .key to end of name in Get Info and hit Enter. Confirm adding .key
11. You should now be able to open file with Keynote and all Sharpness settings are at 0 and all photos are using the original image file name (without "filtered" tag).
12. Run show to confirm all is happy and save.
Let me know if any solution is found to original issue.

How,can,I,adjust,the,camera,settings,on,my,2009,Mac,to,16:9,format?

I want to use the camera on my 2009 iMac to shoot some footage for a video project. The project is in 16:9 wide screen. How can I adjust the camera to shoot in this format?

Thanks for letting us know your questions was answered! A few other thoughts....
RobertofLadywellVillage wrote: ...the video from the i-sight camera is still in 4:3 format so I suppose that it simply can't produce video in 16:9...
True, the viewed camera image is always 4:3 with your old iMovie 6 HD, but experiment a bit.
Some of the iMovie 6 video formats you can select when you create your iSight clips in the separate iSight project can create a 16:9 frame. That frame will contain your 4:3 iSight image but be filled out to 16:9 with symmetrical black bars on the left and right sides of the image. These clips will be importable into your widescreen project. Although the portions recorded on your iSight will contain the black bars that keep the 16:9 aspect ratio you need, you should be able to include both the iSight captured video and your other video clips in the same 16:9 final product.
If you have a 16:9 digital cameras that can record the clips, use that to get the format you need and better image quality than iSight can provide.
However, if you really need to record 16:9 iSight video, and if your Mac has QuickTime Player (version 10.x), try using QTX. After you open a "New Movie Recording" window, QTX can change camera recording aspect ratios by using its Preference controls as shown in this image of the :
If you really need to use an iSight to capture widescreen video that is not block-filled, another option would be to use a later iMovie version that can record widescreen views of your inbuilt camera. I use iMovie '11 to do this, but, if you don't already have later versions, be sure to check System Requirements for later iMovies before you buy to see if they can work with your Mac OS version.

Can´t export image to PS

Hi, I bought LR + PS CC. I cannot export photo from Lightroom 5 to PS CC (2014). I used to export photo from Lightroom to PS. It made 16bit TIFF, open PS and next open the photo. But it
doesn´t work in this new LR and PS CC 2014. If I click "edit in Photoshop CC" it only open Photoshop, but not create TIFF and not open photo in Photoshop. I can only open image as a smart object. Please help me. Thank you.

You will need to export the RAW file first.
There are several threads on the other Aperture forum, as this is the book one.
I too initially missed the vignette tool. However, once I learned how to do an even better job with an adjustment layer in CS2 I no longer miss it.. I learn this from Russell Brown, he is a funny guy with great FREE CS2 tutorials. See this one: http://av.adobe.com/russellbrown/LightingWithLayersSM.mov the technique is towards in the second half of the video.
This adjustment layer is VERY powerful and gives you much more control over the vignetting in ACR or lens correction filter.
See the plethora of tips from Russell on his website: http://russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html
Besides, the vignette tool in ACR only applied to the original image and not the crop and most finished formats are not 2x3 but 4x5, so I find it is best to crop and apply vignettes in CS2. PLUS you can keep that adjustment layer in the PSD file that get saved back in Aperture so it is non destructive and can easily be reopened for later adjustment.

Adjust Image in photo grid or album?

How do I do this? I need to make image adjustments to photos I have in a photo page. I click on the image in the grid, but the Adjust Image window goes grey and I can't make any adjustments. What gives?

Those adjustments would have to be made prior to importing them.
Photo's in regular pages can be adjusted.
From the help menu:
NOTE: You can’t use the Adjust Image window to modify photos in a photo grid (on a Photos or My Albums template).
