Can't bring in images in RoboHelp 7

I've been using RoboHelp 7 for several months, with no issues. But, last week, when I went to import a graphic, although I could locate the graphic, it never showed up in my preview and I couldn't then bring it into the document.
I've occassionally seen this in the past when the filename was too long, but in this case I trimmed the filename and it still didn't work.
The one thing I did notice is that, although the "Images in project folder" showed images in the current projects folder (and I can also reinsert these images with no problem), when I go to browse for an image, it's defaulting to another project folder and I cannot insert images from the "right" folder after I browse to it. In fact, all of my projects now, when I go to browse for a file, default to this same project folder. I'm wondering if this is the source of the problem, but I can't figure out how to change the default browse folder for a project.
Thanks!

Hi there
Something to consider if you are using the venerable and industrial strength PhotoChop is that you often need to "flatten" an image and save.
Cheers... Rick

  • Template Problem, Can't Bring In Image

    I've been revising my site with DW CS4. I made top area of my template editable. But I am unable to place an image in the top left corner of this newly editable area on the template or on the page it's based on. http://www.deborahdavisdesign.com/photography02.html
    Did I make the area for type only? How can I change that if I did. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • How can I bring back image Align options in Dreamweaver CS6 (CSS not an option)?

    Why were the options to align images from the Property bar removed in Dreamweaver CS6? When CSS isn't an option (email, CMSs, etc ), what options are available to better edit the inline HTML code?
    For this purpose, is it better to revert to an older version of Dreamweaver?

    You can write inline code in any version of Dreamweaver, but you need to hand-code it. Versions later than CS2 or Dreamweaver MX don't really support inline code generation, as the idea for websites was to generate external style sheets.
    Here's what I do for emails: I use MailChimp. Their on-line email generators do write good code that is readable in any email application and they also allow the user to subscribe to a text-only email.
    If you still have your old copy of Dreamweaver MX or CS-2 that supports in-line code generation, keep using that. It will coexist nicely with Dreamweaver CS6 and you can have both open at the same time. As long as it continues to work correctly on your operating system, you're good to go.

  • How can i control what images load on my project to save preload time and avoid loading all images, elements, divs not yet visible?

    Sup buddies,
    How can I control what images load on my project to save preload time and avoid loading all images, elements, divs not yet visible?
    As the project grows in size the load time increases. How does one control not loading all images ,divs,elements etc. until they're
    needed on the timeline? For example some sections are off and only become visible when recalled. My projects slowly grow in size so loading
    all images , is counter productive . My other option would be to create separate htmls but that breaks the seamless user experience .
    TY...Over N Out... 

    hello, kiwi
    quote: "Is there an easy way to burn a completed project to DVD, but keep only the (lo res, lo size) previews on my hard drive?"
    yes.
    maybe,...
    1. you might think of making DVD backups first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
    or,
    2. bring in the photographs to hard drive first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
    the low rez Previews will stay in Aperture but the high quality Versions will be exported onto DVDs and gone from the hard drive (if you delete the originals).
    another way would be to export small about 50-70 pixel wide high quality jpegs to a folder on your Desktop and import & keep these in Aperture Library as a reference. make metadata to show where the original Project DVDs are stored and DVD filing system used.

  • Problem importing images into RoboHelp 10 from FM 11

    I am using Adobe TCS4, on Win XP SP3, to import or link structured FrameMaker 11 books and documents into RoboHelp 10. Our default graphics types are generally eps and tiff images, in anchored frames and imported by reference into FrameMaker, and FrameMaker equations. When I import a FM document into RoboHelp, things appear reasonably correct, equations are converted to jpegs, but the other images typically do not appear. Instead, blank images are created in the appropriate size, and named <docname>00001.jpg, etc, where <docname> is the original FrameMaker document name.
    During import, the Images portion of the FrameMaker conversion settings list "Use Distiller to Generate Image". If this box is checked, RoboHelp nearly always crashes when there are non-equation images in the file. If that setting is unchecked, the import generally completes, but the images, except for equations, are not imported. Remarkably, occasionally one or a few of the correct images doappear in the RoboHelp html; in these cases, it is usually one or more tiff images that have somehow been successfully converted to jpeg; but the majority of images are not converted.
    I have tried a few other things, without success. For example, I have replaced all the images in the Framemaker document with jpeg images, then imported into RoboHelp, but the results are the same, with empty renamed images created, and original images not imported. I have also tried reducing the image sizes in the Framemaker to the exact size size required in the output; in other words, so images appear at 100% size in Framemaker. This approach also has not been successful. I have also tried importing to another format in RoboHelp, such as png, with no success.
    I have had some occasional success, for example rare occasions when one or two images appear in the RoboHelp html, and a single case in which nearly all of the graphics imported correctly. That FM document is somewhat different from the others because nearly all of the referenced images in FrameMaker were PDF. The successfully imported PDFs were imported into RH as jpegs of the same name. The only files that failed to import were a few eps files which were imported as blank images named aqccording to the <docname>0001.jpg scheme.
    Aside from converting all of my images to PDF, and modifying documents accordingly, I have run out of things to try. So, I was hoping to get some advise:
    1) Is there another approach I can try?
    2) Should I uninstall and reinstall TCS4?
    3) Is there an import log that could tell me the mapping of FrameMaker image name to RoboHelp image name, for example: fm0201.tif > <docname>00001.jpg? At least then I could use that list to manually import the appropriate jpgs into Robohelp.
    4) Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
    5) What is it with the constant crashes when "Use Distiller to Generate Image" is checked. In these cases, Distiller keeps chugging away, producing images, until RoboHelp crashes.
    Thanks very much, I appreciate any suggestions.
    Chris McCauley

    I remember reading that document on images, parts 1 and 2, I think, but did not find any solution to this issue there. I have seen your posts on the path length, and have tried to reduce them as much as possible by moving files close to the root directory. I continue to have issues with cross-references, but I have not spent much time yet in fully diagnosing that problem. I'm experienced with Framemaker for many years, and I'm beginning to feell familiar with many parts of RoboHelp, so I thoiught I'd try to knock these issues one at a time, in either order, actually. thanks for your suggestion.

  • Can't save an image used as link

    After I updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5.0.1, I noticed I can no longer save images  that are being used as links on websites. Using the usual method of holding my finger on these type of images, brings up the following options: "Open", "Open in New Page", and "Add to Reading List". It doesn't seem to have the option to save this type of images any more. (I can still save images that aren't being used as links just fine.)

    Try doing a "Save As".

  • Why can 't I store images on my SD care in Lightroom mobile for Android

    I don't understand why I can't store images on my SD card. I get that a mobile app can't ever have the same functionality as the desktop version without taking up all the memory, but what on earth made someone think it was a good idea to store images in memory that is not only highly limited, not upgradable, but also used by other apps and more importantly the OS. Why can't I store images on the MicroSD card. That thing can be 128gb which is enough storage to work on a decent collection of images.
    I would love there to be some more control over aspects of the image, but what there is works well. It also syncs effectively and there isn't that much lag between each event, but what happens when I need to edit 50 images from a device I keep in my pocket [which theoretically should be viable]?
    The most useful feature for me is processing images I've taken with my phone, and syncing them back to Lightroom...
    Please tell me that external storage is going to be added?

  • How can I bring my photo library from my desktop or external HDrive into aperture itself

    Good morning,
    How can I bring my photolibrary from the desctop or external harddrive into Aperture itself?

    Marcus,
    is the Aperture version on your new Mac Aperture 3.5.1?
    the contents of aperture on to a external drive
    Is that your old Aperture library? Does it look like this?
    If it is an Aperture library, that you copied to your Desktop, click it to open it in Aperture. Aperture should update/upgrade it to your current Aperture version. What happens, when you try?
    If it is not an Aperture library, but a folder of referenced images files, search for your old Aperture library and transfer that to your new mac.
    Do you already have an Aperture library on your new mac and want to import/ merge your old library into it? Then You first need to let Aperture upgrade the old library to your current Aperture  version, before you can import and merge the library with "File > Import > LIbrary".
    Could you perhaps post a screen capture of what you are now having on your Desktop? And any exact error messages that you might get, when you are trying to open your Aperture library?

  • LR2.7 does not bring up images from Nikon D7100

    LR 2.7 does not bring up images from Nikon D7100 which I have just purchased.  I have downloaded latest DNG raw converter 7.4 but does not work.  The images come through fine in Bridge but not Lightroom.  What is the problem?

    Since camera makers insist on their own proprietary file formats, Adobe must provide support for each new camera as it is introduced. When a new version of Lightroom is released all development and support for the previous version ends. Your camera wasn't even mentioned or introduced when Lightroom 2.7 was released. Consequently, there can be no support for it. When you buy the newest camera model you should expect to also buy updated software to support that camera. In any event, the raw processing in the latest version of Lightroom is so far superior to what you have you really need to upgrade your Lightroom. You might consider using the Lightroom 5 beta until the official release.
    Are you sure the DNG converter doesn't work? You only point it to the folder containing your raw files. The DNG converter doesn't list the contents of the folder. You will only see a list of your NEF files after you click the button to convert them.

  • How do i bring an image into photoshop?

    how do i bring an image into photoshop?

    Additionally, if you've copied an image from a website or other location, you can go to File > New and, for CS6, at least, the canvas will already be the dimensions of the image you have in your clipboard. So, once you start that new file, you can simply go to Edit > Paste (or hit cmd V) to drop in the image.
    Please let us know if we can assist you any further.

  • When in Lightroom 2.3 edit in Photoshop does not bring up image in Photoshop

    When in Lightroom 2.3, you go to edit in and select Photoshop, it opens Photoshop CS6 but does not bring the image in.  This has only happened recently and maybe I have done something to make this happen as it never used to happen.  What can I do to figure this out?

    First, update your LR 2.3 to 2.7. The update is free and should help with some things: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4677
    If after updating Lightroom, it doesn't start working, initiate a repair install of Photoshop CS6.

  • Can I bring files from a NTFS formatted external hard drive (from Windows XP 32 bit desktop) to my new macbook pro retina?

    Can I bring files from a NTFS formatted external hard drive (from Windows XP 32 bit desktop) to my new macbook pro retina?

    What are these files you are trying to copy over?
    If they are program specific and there is no program on a Mac to read them then you'll have to find either a Mac version of that program or one that does the same thing and can read those files.
    The file extension should not change just because you connect a NTFS formatted drive to a Mac computer. A Word Document is still a .doc/.docx ad the same for all other office type programs. Music files with an extension of .MP3, or whatever, should read the same on both system. Same goes for all other files like images with a .JPG extension.
    Yes I would network them.
    I would not use Migration Assistant. There is nothing on your Windows PC that can be used on the Mac other than your personal data files. No programs or settings can be carried over from Windows to OS X.

    Also, when I view the files from the external hard drive, they show up as .nbz and are not recognized by any program on the Mac. Should I just abandon the hard drive option and start sharing files through the LAN approach?

  • How can I make an image appear partially in front and partially behind another layer in Adobe Illustrator?

    How can I make an image appear partially in front and partially behind another layer in Adobe Illustrator?

    Put the image behind the layer (at the back of it or on a layer below). With it still selected, Copy.
    Now Paste in Front (Ctrl+F). Depending on your Paste Remembers Layers setting, you may have to bring the newly pasted copy to the front, or to the upper layer.
    Draw a shape over the image to define the portion of it you want to appear "in front."
    With the shape and the image selected, clip the image using the shape. (Object > Clipping Mask > Make)

  • If I go to PS and add layers can I bring the photo with layers back to Lightroom?

    If I go to PS and add layers can I bring the photo with layers back to Lightroom?

    JoeKostoss wrote:
    This is more complicated than I expected:  I had to go back to LR to check what I did previously. Here is what I found.  I hope this helps to explain what can be done.  You can have both layers and LR adjustments; you just cannot see the layers in LR nor can you see the LR adjustments in PS.  The good news is that they are both there and can be changed as needed.
    I have a photo (Raw) of a blue jay sitting on a branch with the background out of focus.
    I made many of the usual LR edits such as exposure, contrast, whites, blacks, sharpening, etc.
    I wanted to print it as a Birthday Card so I sent it to PSCC 2014 as a smart object.
    In PS, I added a type layer "Happy Birthday"
    Back in LR, I now have a psd Happy Birthday file stacked with the original raw file.
    Fine and as yet, no ADDITIONAL LR edits AFTER rendering right?
    I made some LR adjustments to the psd file such as crop to a different aspect ratio and add a vignette.
    I printed the psd file on a folded card.
    So far so good, you're still in LR. LR can take the new edits made there AND the layers and spit out a print. Nothing new or special here.
    Later I wanted to use that same image as a anniversary card.
    I told LR to edit that same psd file in PSCC 2014, this time not a smart object, but selecting "Edit Original".
    You got your original layered file. Nothing new or special here.
    PS opened with the "Happy Birthday" type layer intact and with the smart object background layer.  Of  course, the LR edits, crop and vignette on the psd file were not visible in PS.
    Because they don't exist there! They will when you render them.
    I clicked the eye of the Happy Birthday to render it invisible.
    I added a new "Happy Anniversary" type layer.
    Saved the new revised psd file and returned to LR.
    In LR, I still have only 1 psd file stacked with the original raw file, but now it says Happy Anniversary. Note: sometimes it may take a few moments for the new PS edits to appear.  By selecting another image and then reselect this psd file tends to speed this rendering of the new image.
    So where in all this is the LR edits you produce AFTER up created the layers after opening the layered doc in PS?
    I now have a new card ready to print just as before with all the LR edits originally made on the birthday card including the LR edits, crop and vignette made on the original psd file.
    And as far as I can tell, all those edits were applied in PS AFTER rendering.
    If I send that psd file a third time to PS, I still have the smart object layer, and both type layers.  I can add a 3rd type layer "Happy Easter" if I so desire and return to LR.
    Again, the crop and vignette are seen in the one psd file in LR.
    So...yes, I can have both layers AND LR adjustments including the original raw adjustments through the smart object background.
    No, you have a layered file and you have instructions but the layered file isn't rendered with those instructions and doing so would flatten the results.

  • XL2 shot 16:9 24p What import setting, can I bring in 4:3 and what about PS

    I shot footage with an XL2 at 2:3:3:2 16:9 24p. I imported to FCP5.1 as anamorphic. Correct? Yes or no. I shows as 16:9 in the viewer.
    Can I bring in clips shot with an XL1s at 4:3? Can I letterbox to make it "look" 16:9? What will happen when I compress?
    Lastly. . . I need to bring in some images from Photoshop, but when I do it squeezes them at the sides, distorting them. I tried creating the images with PS set to a widescreen document, but still squoosh.
    HELP!!

    Can I bring in clips shot with an XL1s at 4:3?
    Yes.
    Can I letterbox to make it "look" 16:9?
    Letterbox is a black stripe at top and bottom which is applied to a 4:3 clip in a 4:3 Sequence to give the impression of 16:9.
    Use the Widescreen Filter in Effects > Video Filters > Matte.
    If you want to import 4:3 into a 16:9 Sequence you will need to scale it to fill the sides and pan up or down to optimize picture framing
    What will happen when I compress?
    Provided you use the correct compression setting, nothing will happen to the aspect ratio if that is what you mean.
    I need to bring in some images from Photoshop, but when I do it squeezes them at the sides
    Press Command and 9 keys to call up Item Properties. Click in the Clip column, next to Anamorphic to place a check mark there.
