Captivate Adding JPEG images! HELP!

Good day all,
I am having an issue with Captivate, that I've never had
before. I've used Captivate now to develop interactive simulations
on three other projects, so I'm familiar with Captivate itself.
However, just recently I started developing more simulations for a
interactive tool that we use here at work. But on every simulation
that I have recorded so far, Captivate seems to be inserting1-5
JPEG images on the first slide. I can't delete these, and when I
do, it completly freezes Captivate. These images have slowed down
Captivate so much. I can't even access the "edit" tab. i have to
double click another slide, and then it finally takes me to the
edit tab. Does anybody have any idea as to the problem?? I can
probably get a screen shot of these so called images in the time
area in Captivate itself.
Hoping somebody can help me out!

You didn't say what version you are running - that might be
important. You did say:

Let me restate the issue in beta-style steps, to see
if I have it "right", okay?
1) You are recording in one of the simulation modes ...
2) After pressing the END key to stop recording, you are
returned to Captivate where ...
3) Your new recording is waiting in storyboard view...
4) You cannot access slide #1 in Edit view, so you open any
other slide ...
5) And work your way back to slide #1 from there ...
6) To find that on slide #1 timeline, there are from 1 to 5
JPEG images ...
. . . .(that have nothing to do with the application you
recorded?) . . . .
7) And apparently not just any JPEG images but images
so large they actually burn all resources on your computer,
causing Captivate to freeze.
Please let me know if I'm restating your problem correctly
(above). I am nearly positive that I have
not understood you. But if that's the case, perhaps you
could restate the problem in the "step" format I've used here, so
that we can understand and try to resolve the issue. Thanks very
much!

  • Help with managing RAW and jpeg images and installing iphoto 9

    Greetings: Fist, let me make the neophyte apology and plea - I'm sorry, I should have come here first; I didn't and now I need your help.
    I have just purchased a macbook pro (still in its box) with updated software for my older imac os x. I have a number of Canon related photo editing programs (that came with my 40D digital SLR) and Adobe photo elements 6 for mac on the imac. Following some erroneous advice I have made a complete mess of the pictures folder's content by trying to delete images directly from that folder (there are now 6000+ images in the folder, many of which are duplicates(?). Most of the images are not tagged or labeled and some have been organized in/by iphoto (I corrupted the iphoto's library structure very early on by disrupting and editing its images - which might explain why iphoto had a difficult time 'finding' and displaying some of my photos). The picture folder now holds jpegs, smallRAW images (a Canon 40D photo format) and various duplicates of the orignal images - (some of the duplicates don't display as images, but as jpeg logos, which, when opened contain duplicate image or are completely black) The first time I downloaded RAW images into iphoto 6 the RAW data displayed as a black image. When shooting in smallRAW on the Canon 40D, the camera produces a jpeg image for 'easy viewing and editing in the camera' but it looks as though iphoto 6 made duplicates of the jpeg and the RAW data and stored them in different locals in the picture file. In an attempt to get the number of images down, I have been trying to delete them from the picture folder. (My daughters both download images rather indiscriminately in hopes of 'editing them on the computer' which inevitably does not happen) and there is a lot of experimental bracketing of images - shooting raw and different Camera formats etc., all of which need to be cleaned up before I proceed.
    Sometime in the not-too-distant future I would like to have iphoto 9 running on my imac with a clean library of images and a seamless way of downloading, editing and storing images (including the RAW data).
    The macbook pro is for my highschool-aged daughter, who will run iphoto 9 but not have any RAW image data on her system. She would like to copy some of the old iMac's images to put into her own iPhoto 9 library (probably using a disk, email or on-line photo service - ideally, I would like to be able to copy and remove a number of those images from my HD and give them to her for the macbook)
    A few questions and queries: Can I 'dis-able' iphoto 6, while I delete images (RAW and jpeg) from the picture file? (and is this even a good idea).
    Once I have edited the # of images down to a reasonable size, should I re-launch iphoto 6, rebuild the iphoto library and then update to iphoto 9 or skip v6 and rebuild with v9?
    And now for the 'how stupid is this guy question' - I really had planned to purchase an external backup; but between new the macbook, car repairs and braces it has never come to fruition. So, I have never properly backed up my images. What is the bare-bones, least expensive method for me to do this? I'd even consider burning everything to disks if that works. I can't afford the $ to purchase a new external hard drive right now (really). Budget is set aside mid-November for one though.
    I've been looking through some other discussion boards and it looks like I'm not the only one having RAW image issues. I know that shooting smallRAW with the companion jpeg is probably not helping things but I take my camera equipment on extended canoe trips - and we like the ease of on-the-spot editing with this format.
    Thanks in advance for your help - Mark

    Terence, Is the picture folder the primary source for the images or does that data reside somewhere else?
    If you gathered them there, then yes.
    I really don't want to have to go through 14,000 images looking for the pictures that I want to keep (or is that my only option?).
    Only you can decide what you want to keep.
    Why does the computer keep making copies of the images and filing them under date and events?
    That's how iPhoto works. It's not a problem usually, only you did go in there and make a problem, and now we are trying to fix it.
    You advise not to muck around in the picture file via preview,
    No I don't. I advise not to much around in the iPhoto Library Folder.
    but if I download images through a program other than iPhotos - image capture or adobe aren't I doing that anyway?
    Adobe what? Adobe is a software manufacturer who make many excellent applications, you need to be more precise. And no, if you import photos with Image Capture or “adobe” no you are not interfering with the iPhoto Library Folder.
    Can you edit a base image file somewhere and remove it from the HD without iphoto making a copy of it and storing it somewhere else?
    This is stunningly easy. Don't use iPhoto. Use an image editor.
    I want to look the negatives, decide which ones I want and throw the rest away. Can that be done or am I way off course?
    Yes, and iPhoto (or similar apps) make this really easy.
    Hook up your camera. Import the pics to iPhoto. Go through the imported pics. Trash the ones you don't want. Then process the ones you do. But you must learn how to use iPhoto to do this successfully
    To trash: put the pic in the iPhoto trash and empty it. This removes the file from iPhoto and the Hard Disk.
    Process it: If you want to use another editor: You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • HELP - CONVERTING A JPEG IMAGE INTO A LINE DRAWING

    PLEEEASE HELP ME!!!
    sorry to be thick - im only a beginner   ---   is there any way to covert a jpeg image into like a line drawing where there is a block colour background and solid lines that make up the picture like you sometimes get in brochures - somthing different to just the effects that are availible in the filter gallery...
    thanks
    LUK

    As far as I recall there's no magic/easy "convert to vector drawing" functionality in Photoshop, though there are some things you can do to help smooth rough edges (e.g., Filter - Noise - Median).  There are also some things you can do, if you want to get fancy, based on converting selections to paths, but that can get kind of involved and likely requires manual path editing afterward.
    I have heard there are some pretty decent vector conversion functions in other Adobe apps...  Adobe Illustrator, perhaps?  Someone who uses Illustrator may want to chime in here; I don't have that package.

  • JPEG images burned to DVD are viewed fine on my Macbook Pro, but my clients PC says the disk is blank.  Have tried several times now with same result.  Please help.

    The JPEG images I have edited on my Macbook Pro and then burned to DVD view fine on my computer.  But when I give the same disk to my client with a PC (Windows Vista), his computer says the disk is blank.  I have tried several times, first I burned the entire folder to the DVD, then tried burning just the images (not in a folder), and I also tried renaming the disk (shorter name, six letters), but always with the same result.  His PC says the disk is blank and needs to be formated.
    Please help,

    I used "finder" to select the files and move them to the mounted blank DVD then selected "Burn to DVD" it then asks you to name it, and says "this disk can be used on any mac or windows based computer" or something to that effect, and I click "Burn" and it burns and verifies the contents.  But it hasn't worked so far.
    I will try again the way you suggest (fingers crossed).
    The problem is likely on the client's computer.
    Some computers can't read certain brands of disks, same thing occurs on Mac's.
    If you work with this client often you can find out which brand of disk works best with yours and their computers.

    Please tell how to store jpeg images in SQL Server using NI Database Connectivity Toolset.

    http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_datatypes.asp
    You setup a field as BLOB and store the binary of the picture there. Depending on the database it can be called differently as you can see in the link, in SQL server there's even a Image datatype.

  • Jpeg Images/Delay Help

    I'm at a lost of the right approach to use.... All I want is
    to have a flash on my website that I can load different jpeg
    (images) in after a 3-5second delay. So when I show the first image
    it waits for 3 seconds then loads the second image. Keeps going to
    all images have been shown. Once the last image is shown it starts
    all over. Can someone point me in the right direction, this is
    driving me nuts..... All this needs to happen automatically with
    out buttons etc.....

    if you are willing for the users just to wait 3 seconds and
    then load an image, you will find something at kiupa.com
    ->tutorials->slideshow. So basically you won`t have exactly 3
    secs between images
    if your files are so large/users connection is so slow that
    you have to peload all images, i doubt anyone will be around long
    enough to view your slideshow

  • Adding an Image on top of Zoom area

    Hello everyone,
    I'm a brand new user of Captivate and I'm working with version 4.  I'll do my best to not get on your nerves with all the newbie questions!
    Current issue - I'm working within a single slide and have a small segment highlighted with the Zoom function.  The Zoom is working great, but there are multiple items within the Zoom box that I would like to highlight/indicate for the viewers.  I want to use a basic arrow to point at the icon I'm referring to in the audio, so I've tried adding an Image of an arrow, but it always appears behind the Zoom box when I Preview or Publish the project.  I've tried using both jpeg and bmp formats for the image and see no difference.  I've also tried to work with the Order of the Image and Zoom, setting them to 'Step Back, 'Bring to Front', etc, but it doesn't make a difference.
    Any suggestions on how I can get the image to show up on top of the Zoom box?
    Side question - I had to find an image of a basic arrow on the web, as all I could find within Captivate 4 are the Animated Arrows.  Does Captivate have good old basic arrows and pointers?  If so, where might I might find them?
    Thanks in advance.

  • How do you set a transparent background when adding an image?

    I've added a block arrow image to a slide in Captivate 4. I enabled Transparent background and selected white as the color within the Image properties. This used to work when I added the same image in Captivate 3. However, in Captivate 4, when I publish, the image displays with a white background. Though it is transparent in priview mode and on the slide iteself when i have the project open. Any ideas on what else I could do to make the image background transparent?

    Hi there
    Transparent background should still work in Captivate 4 just as it did in Captivate 3.
    There are a couple of reasons it may not do what you are expecting.
    The background isn't truly the color it appears to be. For example, it may APPEAR to be solid white (or another color) but in reality it's hundreds of varying shades of the color. This happens a lot with JPEG images.
    If the image is PNG format, I've seen Captivate become confused. Especially if the PNG already has a transparent background. So you may need to edit the image and save in a different format.

  • Converting a binary string into a JPEG image in Crystal Reports 2008

    Hi Gang
    Iu2019m having problems converting a binary string into an image in Crystal Reports 2008
    I have JPEG images stored in ECC.  ECC stores the data in binary format.
    Iu2019m using the ECC function module SKWF_PHIO_CONTENT_ACCESS_GET to retrieve the data.  This function module has an export table, FILE_CONTENT_BINARY, which returns several lines of data.  Each line contains a maximum of 1,024 characters.
    When I drop the T_ FILE_CONTENT_BINARY.LINE field into my Crystal Report detail section, I wind up with a report that displays all the lines in FILE_CONTENT_BINARY table.  (in my case, 19 lines are displayed.)
    I created a formula to collect all the data into a single string.
    whileprintingrecords;
    stringvar data:= data & {SKWF_PHIO_CONTENT_ACCESS_GET.T_FILE_CONTENT_BINARY.LINE}
    I added the formula to the detail section and itu2019s doing a great job collecting the data.
    I then inserted a picture object in the report footer, opened the format editor, navigated to the u201Cpictureu201D tab, and inserted a formula for the u201Cgraphics locationu201D.
    whileprintingrecords;
    stringvar data:=data;
    data
    My clever idea turned out to be a disappointment . . . . my picture object is blank.
    Does anyone have a solution for converting a binary string into a JPEG image?

    Save the JPEG in a format CR supports. Refer to the help file for the file types.

  • Editing jpeg image

    I need help editing the text in a jpeg image. The image is hard to read when I add it to my Indesign file.

    Hello and welcome,
    But I think you posted this in the wrong forum. This is one of the Captivate forums, and you are talking about something else.
    JPEG is a compressed bitmap format, you will not be able to edit text in such a format. Do you know the origin? With Photoshop you could sharpen the image, but not sure at all that it will make the text readable, and you will never be able to edit the text. Only applications like Photoshop, when you add text in the application, allow that kind of functionality, but not an output, compressed format like JPEG.

  • ColorSync Utility and downloading jpeg images

    Related questions have been posted with some helpful ideas but so far I don't find my same exact problem (or a solution):
    Attempting on my new MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.4.10) to download and open a 58KB jpeg image sent on Yahoo (and automatically scanned for viruses), a window appeared saying "ColorSync Utility cannot open files of this type". The image is downloaded as "securedownload-1, 2, 3, etc.", but won't open. This has not been the case with images sent via Hotmail, where the jpeg is recognized as such and opened in Preview. Why is it different with the Yahoo images and how do I change that preference permanently?
    (Another post-reply suggested clicking on File in Finder and then Get Info and directing it to open in another application. I did, and chose Quick Time Player, but it makes me do it for every single image. Plus I would prefer Preview, which isn't one of the options that I see, even if I click "more options". Dragging the icon to the desktop (as suggested by another post) also opens the file, but at the same scale as the image in the email, not its true size.)
    Is there some obvious fix that I just can't intuit? (I'm fairly new to Mac.) Why is ColorSync Utility the default application for opening such files (at least with Yahoo)?
    Thanks.

    i'm having the exact same problem downloading jpeg images from yahoo mail. the file name is changed to "securedownload-1,2,3 etc.", with the '.jpg' extension removed, and i get the same error message that "Colorsync Utility is unable to open files of this type". i've tried changing the "Open With" setting to Preview, and adding '.jpg' to the file name. they all seem to correct the problem, however, these all seem to be "band-aid" fixes and are not permanent. the common denominator here seems to be yahoo mail.
    to test my theory, i created a gmail account, and forwarded myself one of the jpeg files i am having problems opening. the jpeg file opened flawlessly in the Preview application! another thing that dawned on me, was i had problems opening these files at work as well! on a Dell PC desktop! when i tried downloading these pictures at work (from my yahoo mail account), nothing downloaded, but i was booted off of yahoo mail completely.
    if anyone know of a permanent solution to this problem, please let me know. but i hope this information is helpful!

  • Scaling Binary JPEG images

    Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
    I am extracting JPEG images stored in a blob field in a DB. I can obtain the bytes of the JPEG in a couple different ways but I have had no luck in scaling the images.
    I need to simple scale the image, and then return the new image preferably in a byte[] or something that I can convert to a byte[].
    I have come accross several past post, and at times seems to work. None of them actually return an image or errors so I am not sure where it fails.
    I tried a modified version of the following which was an example on making thumbnails out of a larger image.
    Here's the url to that example
    http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/TechTips/1999/tt1021.html
    After modifying the code, when I went to test I recieved a weird error in a log file that basically said something could not use :0 which is refering to my monitor.
    This is and will be used in a Linux env, but does not or should not invlove X in anyway. I have come accross other example that talk about a frame.addnotify() method that is supposed to resolve this issue when not outputing to a monitor.
    After adding that, the error is not there, but neither is my scaled image.(which wasn't there before either)
    If this sound strange, that's beacuse I am creating a custom Generator object. Generator being a Servlet created by Macromedia to generate Flash movies and etc. on the fly.
    For some reason in the API it lacks the ability to scale a JPEG image. Yet to be able to put the image into Flash, I must get the image's byte[].
    Please help, I have played around with this one for some time now, and have tried more things than I could document here.
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

    HI,
    The code is not very well organized, but should be clear enough for your reference.
    import java.awt.image.*;
    import java.awt.Image;
    import java.awt.Graphics2D;
    import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
    import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
    byte[] b; /* your binary image */
    Image inImage = new ImageIcon(b).getImage();
    int iH=inImage.getHeight(null);
    int iW=inImage.getWidth(null);
    BufferedImage outBImage = new BufferedImage(iW,iH,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
    Graphics2D g2d = outBImage.createGraphics();
    g2d.drawImage(inImage,null,null);
    g2d.dispose();
    double scale=0.5; /* rescale the image to 50% of its original size*/
    int scaledW=(int)iW*scale;
    int scaledH=(int)iH*scale;
    BufferedImage dstbimg = new BufferedImage(scaledW, scaledH,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
    AffineTransform tx = new AffineTransform();
    tx.scale(scale, scale);
    Graphics2D g2d = dstbimg.createGraphics();
    RenderingHints qualityHints = new RenderingHints(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
    qualityHints.put(RenderingHints.KEY_RENDERING,RenderingHints.VALUE_RENDER_QUALITY);
    g2d.setRenderingHints(qualityHints);
    g2d.drawImage(outBImage, tx, null);
    g2d.dispose();
    /* dstbimg is the scaled BufferedImage */

    I am trying to use photomerge compose.  I open one standard jpeg image and one image that is my business logo in a png format.  When I select the png image, to extract the logo from it, it appears as all white and will not allow me to select the logo from it.  It has worked in the past but I downloaded the update today and photomerge will not work correctly.  Any ideas?

    hedger,
    How do you expect anyone to help when we don't know a darned thing about the file, abut your setup, exact version of Photoshop and your OS, machine specs, etc.?
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.
    Please read this FAQ for advice on how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers:

  • Converting a pdf document to a jpeg image C#

    HI There,
    How can I convert a pdf document to a jpeg image using c sharp? I need to do this on a web application. If someone can help me out with some code that would be great.
    Sean - thanks in advance

    The information provided by Aandi is unfortunately out of date. The Adobe PDF Library is obtained through Datalogics and has a JNI, Java, and .NET interface available. Additionally while the Adobe PDF Library with the .NET interface would provide the functionality you seek it is overkill.
    PDF2IMG from Datalogics has a COM component available that can be accessed via C# to convert PDF to most image formats.
