Change Curtain Mode Image

Can any one direct me to the image file of the Remote Desktop Curtain Mode image? I would like to replace it with one of my own. Is this possible? Any help would be appreciated. Than you!

You can change the lock screen (in lock mode not curtain mode... effectively the same thing you can still control it oddly enough),
I don't know if you can get rid of the text (unless you changed the screen to white and kept the image size the area of the screen.).
Create a picture using a graphics program, such as AppleWorks.
Save the picture in PICT, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, or any other QuickTime-compatible static image format.
QuickTime-compatible movies or QuickTime VR objects cannot be used.
Name the picture "Lock Screen Picture".
Copy the "Lock Screen Picture" file to /Library/Preferences/ on the client computer.

Is there a way to format multiple images at once? Change colour mode or resolution?

Is there a way to format multiple images at once? Change colour mode or resolution?

It's very easy to make an action.
Go to window > actions
In the actions panel, simply click the 'create a new action' button, it starts recording as soon as you've created it (when you've given it a name).
Now you can apply the changes you want to make to the images on the file you have opened.
After you've done all you need to do. You click the 'stop' button. The action is now ready to use. And you can apply the changes you made on all the other files.
Then you can continue how gener7 explained.
I usually include a save and close command, so that the whole batch doesn't end up opened after running the script.
But if you do that you have to create a new file, and save it to your computer before you start recording the action, otherwise the save command will be replaced by each file. And you'll end up with one edited file in the end. At least for as far as I know!

Curtain image does not appear in Curtain Mode

Although, ARD 3 has been touted to put up a nice red curtain image in place of a lock whenever Curtain Mode is implemented, for some weird reason, all I keep getting is the lock image.
Is it just me, or is everyone experiencing this?
Does anyone know a solution..?
Thanks to Steve I've managed to overcome the custom Locked Screen Picture issue in ARD 3 (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2221150&#2221150) but it would be nice to see the curtain as well.
Thanks in advance!
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

ARD does not put a curtain up. It will only put a lock up. Butl the curtain idea is still there in that it will let you still work on the computer so the user can't see what you're doing.
I was at Apple HQ this week and they demo'd this feature and the demo didn't have the curtain either. I think they just didn't implement the curtain image.
There may be a hack to implement it but I haven't been pressed to figure it out yet. An idea would be to replace the lock image resource with a copy of the curtain image resource and call it the same name as the lock image resource. It may not work and might show up incorrectly. (not full screen)

Changing size of image in ACR mode

Have just bought Elements 12. When editing image in raw mode I cannot change size of image using ALT in combination with the mouse scroll button like I could in Elements 8. Clicking plus and minus signs is clumsy and slower

I believe that was removed in acr starting with the late 6.x or 7.x series and not sure why.
One way to zoom quicker with the zoom in (plus) is to drag a box on the image, although that doesn't work for zooming out (minus).
You can also right click on the image to get a menu with different zoom values (viewing percents).

Changing color of Image in PSE 8.0

I have a logo design that is black on white. I'd like to change the black to another color - in this case, blue. I wqas able to do it, but it ended up being quite convoluted. What are some simple ways to change the color of a selected area in Elements 8. I'm using a PC, BTW.
Thanks!

Thank you. I found another way that's even simpler. I chose the paint brush, set the mode to lighten, and then just painted over the image with blue - the white didn't pick up any of the blue, but the black did.

1. Select the black (use the magic wand if it's all one color).
2. Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Hue Saturation.
3. Turn on the colorize checkbox in the layers panel, and move the sliders till you see the color you want.

Curtain mode not available

Hello, I'm new to ARD ... running ARD 3.0 Unlimited, created an install package an installed on the target PowerMac G4 running OS X 10.4.8, opened the services ARD, Remote Login, and File Sharing (FS for general use) services in the firewall, and I can monitor or control the client reliably.
I did create an admin account for ARD in the Package utility - this user has all possible rights but I didn't allow VNC or Guest request.
When I try to use the Curtain Mode while in Control Mode the Curtain Icon is greyed out, mousing over says "Curtain Mode not available for "mac name"", and when I try to directly connect via Curtain Mode I get the error "Could not change to Curtain Mode, (2nd line) an error occured on this computer"
Pretty vague, anyone know what's needed for Curtain Mode to be available/work? - thanks - KR

Thanks for your comments Brian - I'll answer each:
Curtain mode should work on any system running 10.4 and ARD 3.
KR - that's my understanding. All the systems are running OS X 10.4.8 and see below on ARD version...
Have you upgraded the client (G4) to 3.x? 2.x is the default installation.
KR - good question, I created the client package via Create Client Installer in ARD and manually installed it on the G4. This should have upgraded the ARD client to v3, right? I haven't found a way to verify the ARD client version (suggestions gladly received!) except the recorded version number in com.apple.ARDAgent.plist - which lists 3.000000 as the version, which I'm assuming means v3.0
Is the G4 headless? Curtain mode only works on machines with monitors attached.
KR - that's good to know - the G4 does have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse attached. Along those lines the G4 has the factory installed video card and the LCD display is in 1280x1024 res. I tried 1024x768 res, same result...
Also, in case it makes a difference - I have the Sharing/Firewall on, Services Personal File Sharing, Remote Login - SSH, Apple Remote Desktop, Apple Remote Events, and Network Time allowed. The Macs are in my lab, all on a 100BaseT hub with no firewall or NAT in between each other.

Make "Curtain" mode default in Apple Remote Desktop?

Two issues with ARD and looking for a way to overcome:
How can I have Curtain mode enabled by default as soon as I connect to my machine at work?
How can I force my machine at the office to get locked (or have the user logged out, or at least switch to the login screen) if ARD gets disconnected because of a network interruption?
The second one is especially annoying because it leaves my office Mac unlocked to everybody if my network dies for some reason.
Thanks!
René

Curtain mode can be risky. if you curtain a computer and then loose your connection; you may not be able to reconnect to the computer. At that point the computer has to be physically restarted to get the computer out of curtain mode.
Have you considered using logmein? You can configure it so on connection, the physical screen disbale (similar to curtain mode). And if your connection drops out, it will lock the screen and re-enable the display. That way you can ether remote back into the machine or sit down at the machine and unlock the display.
unlike ARD, logmein rarely requires any kind of firewall configuration. You don't have to worry about your WAN IP address changing. And logmein has an iPad app!

IWeb: changing the slideshow image scale and viewing time

I moved my iWeb sites over to another server (iPage) and went through the sites to observe for inconsistencies and problems. While doing this, I noted that my image galleries, when placed into the slides show mode, were very small on my iPad 2 and that they cycled through at a very high speed. I thought this was odd and I wondered if anyone else has observed the same thing? It sounds to me that an HTML under-the-hood modification may be required or a bug fix to the iWeb code is in order, to change the sideshow image scale and viewing time/slide value. Comments? [I suspect that Apple does not hold iWeb bug fixes at or near to the top of its software development to-does priority list. Sounds like I need to change web authoring software.]

Why do you think it's a bug?
Anyway :
Is there any reason photos in an album page display small on the iPad, but normally on an iMac? And videos on a movies page don't play on the iPad, but are OK on the iMac?

Changing blend mode changes behavior

I'm trying to have words grow from very small to "swallow up" the screen—all while using them as stencils through which we see water. With me so far? Anyway, the motion is perfect when the blend mode is on normal, but when I simply change the blend mode to Stencil Alpha, at a certain point, it starts moving sharply to the right. All I've done is change blending modes, honest.
Who knows what the h-e-double hockey sticks this is, and, how to fix it? This is maddening.

Heya,
This is just a guess, as I haven't seen your project, but I think the text is sliding because it is too large for your GPU, so it's getting cropped and recentered.
Why is it happening when you change the blend mode? Good question. I think it's because picking any blend mode but 'Normal' is causing a pre-comp, and since your GPU's size limit is being exceeded, it's cropping (and recentering) the result. Or maybe it's a bug.
Here's a workaround to try: nest the text in its own layer, enable Fixed Resolution for the layer (found in the Layer tab in the Inspector, when the layer is selected), and then change the blend mode of the layer to whatever you want.
Seriously, though, you really should be using (as Patrick suggested) the Image Mask tool, instead of the Stencil Alpha blend mode. Free yourself from the AE-style blend mode tyranny! Vive la image mask!
(good luck)

Color Shift when Changing view mode

Hi,
I'm using a dual monitor setup and CS5 64bit on Windows 7. I have all my images on one monitor and all my palettes on the other. When I press f to switch the screen mode from tabbed image windows to fullscreen, the colors shift horribly to much darker, redder colors.

I can only assure you that this doesn't happen on every system.
Did you try changing OpenGL to Basic mode, as I suggested?
Is the image in Lab mode (not RGB)? I recall some reports very early after the release of Photoshop CS5 that Lab mode images were being displayed differently under different circumstances.

Change file mode using java?

Hi
Can I change file mode using java method other than
Runtime.exec()
thx
Jacinle

Hi
Thank you Roopasri. But what I want is not using Runtime.exec
I am using Unix and I want to change some image file access mode
so not a RandomAccess File.
So is there anything like chmod command on Unix?
something like maybe java.io.File.chmod("755");
I read that's a feature requested early on 1.2
Will it be included in 1.4?

Programatically Change Tab Control Image

Is it possible to change the tab image of a
tab control using program calls? I can add an image to a tab by
right clicking the tab, then selecting Advanced --> Tab Layout
--> Import Image From Clipboard. This works well when editing
the VI, but I would like to change the image while the VI is
running. Any help?
I have found no resources online, or by looking at the property node or invoke node for the tab control.

Not possible. The image can only be set while in edit mode.

I have just downloaded Mac OS X 10.9 and Pages 5. When I open any pre-existing document in the new Pages the format is zoomed to 125%, the headers are out of position, the margins are changes, and inserted images are also relocated. What can I do?

How do I change the JPEG image size in PSE-12 when opening from RAW

Switching from PSE-9 to PSE-12. When a JPEG image is opened RAW in PSE-12 the size is 18.72" Wide x 12.48" high 300 DPI. The same image in PSE-9 is 23.4" wide x 15.6" High 240 DPI. How do I get PSE-12 to open the image as in PSE-9?

Uncheck the boxes at the bottom of the dialog Scale styles and resample Image so that only constrain proportions is checked. If you the change the resolution box from 240 to 300 you will get back to your original dimensions.
This is a meaningless thing to do, you still have the exact same number of pixels, you have only changed the metadata number in the file for ppi, and your prints are not affected by this number.
You could also use the same method to change the dimensions to 6 x 4 or 9 x 6 etc.
There are some cases (actually most cases) where you need to CROP the photo to change the dimensions, when the aspect ratio of the original photos is different than the aspect ratio of the final photo; the specific case in 99jon's example is the only case you ever want to change dimensions using Image->Resize->Image Size, where the aspect ratio doesn't change from 6x4 to 9x6 (or 12x8 or 18x12 or ...), and even then, you could do the same thing simply by telling the printer the size you want, you don't really need to do anything in PSE.

Changing resolution and image size doesn't change result on screen?

I'm using Photoshop CS3. I am trying to change the resolution of several images that will be printed in a newspaper. So the current images are 72 ppi and really huge -- for example 36 x 27 inches (document size), and when I change them to 300 ppi, the image sizes shrink to about 8 x 6 inches, as I expect. But the image I see on the screen doesn't change. So, for example, when I open up the image originally, it's at 33% and the entire image is visible. After I change the resolution, and the image size has changed accordingly, the image still appears the same and it remains at 33%. Shouldn't the image shrink on the screen since its size has shrunk? Or if it remains the same on the screen, shouldn't the percentage shift? I mean if the document size is now 8 x 6, it should be able to be displayed at 100% and not fill my whole screen... I'm so confused. Thanks...

gradded,
The "Document Size" area of the Image Size dialog is just to indicate the size (in inches) that your document will be printed. The ppi adjustment has nothing to do with what is displayed on your monitor. Your monitor doesn't care anything about ppi. The monitor contains a certain number of pixels and after you change that ppi setting, the monitor will still have that same number of pixels.
As long as you leave the "Resample Image" box unchecked, your image size (Pixel Dimensions) will not change. You will see no change on your monitor. If you check the "Resample Image" box, then your image size (in pixels) will change.
Hope this helps.
