Changing Level-setting of 600 images using InDesign

Hi guys,
I have a catalog containing almost 600 photos, but they has to be refined {just basic tonal range adjustment}. My question is symple: Do I have to use Photoshop's batch processor to edit every file or is some tool uncluded in ID - something like: Select all images > adjust levels? I am affraid, there is no other way but the Ps, but I am asking anyway...
Thank you

Thank you mate...
Grat thanks for your help.

How do I change Transfer Syntax for DICOM images using sample Java sources?

Hi,
I tested using Note:876534.1 Java API samples. It works fine when I put the "Implicit VR Little Endian" DICOM file.
I could insert the DICOM file, also I could get the all DICOM tags correctly by SQL.
But I could not get all DICOM tags when inserted "Explicit VR Little Endian" and "JPEG Lossy" DICOM file.
Also I could not find how to change the Transfer Syntax to orddicom Java API.

It would go like this
1. TIFF + XML metadata => DICOM image file
you can use the method ord_dicom.createDicomImage(src blob, metadata xmltype, dest blob) to create the DICOM image in a blob.
2, then use the ORDDicom constructor ORDDIcom(data blob) to create an ORDDicom object
3. then use the ORDDicom processCopy method to change the image properties.
Alternatively you can change image properties on the input TIFF image (using ORDImage methods) then create the DICOM image. If you are happy with the image properties then you can skip step 3.

Changing or setting what ports to use (port-mapping)

Hi
I use LittleSnitch and can set which port to use, so I was wondering, how many are there, also would it be OK to set all programs to ANY port, or do certain programs need certain ports?

Why does my font color change when I add an image to InDesign?

Hello, I am doing a page layout in InDesign and I am using a light blue font for my title but when I add an image from Photoshop, the font color turns dark blue. When I open the InDesign file in Adobe Acrobat, my title is still dark blue. It's only when I make a PDF of the file in Acrobat and open it in the Safari browser that the title goes back to its original light blue font. Is there something I can do to fix this? Thank you!

Not a good idea. The flattened PSD has lost all its layers, adjustments, and effects. I hope you don’t need to edit it or change any layer’s visibility. Either that or you now have two files to keep track of and have neutered InDesign’s Edit Original feature. Better to take Peter’s advice and place the text above the image so it is not affected by transparency flattening. If you need the text below because you want the drop shadow to interact with the text, then use Overprint Preview (View menu) or Separations Preview (Window > Output) to get a more accurate view of the text colour.

Changing the palette of an image using IndexColorModel

Hi
How can I rapidly and often change the palette of a BufferedImage which uses an IndexColorModel? The only palette changes I want to implement are the colors, not the number of bits, palette size, transparencies or the transparent index.
The IndexColorModel class contains a private field rgb[] which I obviously cannot get a reference of, and two private methods IndexColorModel.setRGBs which only seem to be invoked from within the constructors.
Creating new IndexColorModel instances on the fly when I draw the same images (small icons) lots of times with different palettes (either as animation or as duplicates) creates unnecessary initialization overhead and garbage.
Is there another way to get the same effect?

Does nobody know?
Here is an example of what I'd like to do: http://tinyurl.com/28olro
I want to occasionally change the colors from reds to blue, green, gold or others and I want them to smoothly change.
I just want to know if it's even possible to do elegantly using the current API. I'm thinking of making a full-color MemoryImageSource and using an index->rgb array to translate colors on the fly.
Here's the source code if you want to see what I have: http://tinyurl.com/ywxn5d

Set Source of Image using StorageFile using FilePicker

I am developing an app in which I have called a filePicker and then the image is set as source of userImage. I am getting image through filepicker but it is not setting as source of userImage. My code is
private void pickPhoto_Tapped(object sender, TappedRoutedEventArgs e)
MyPictureImage = true;
FileOpenPicker photochooser = new FileOpenPicker();
photochooser.ViewMode = PickerViewMode.Thumbnail;
photochooser.SuggestedStartLocation = PickerLocationId.PicturesLibrary;
photochooser.FileTypeFilter.Add(".jpg");
photochooser.FileTypeFilter.Add(".jpeg");
photochooser.FileTypeFilter.Add(".png");
//Launch file open picker and caller app is suspended and may be terminated if required
photochooser.PickSingleFileAndContinue();
public async void ContinueFileOpenPicker(FileOpenPickerContinuationEventArgs args)
var values = args.ContinuationData;
if (args.Files.Count > 0)
StorageFile sf = args.Files[0];
ImageEncodingProperties format = ImageEncodingProperties.CreateJpeg();
StorageFile Image = await ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.CreateFileAsync(sf.Name, CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);
StorageFile sfa = await ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.GetFileAsync(sf.Name);
UploadImage(sf);
try
StorageItemThumbnail thumb = await file.GetThumbnailAsync(ThumbnailMode.PicturesView, 250, ThumbnailOptions.UseCurrentScale);
userImage.Source = await ImageFromStorageItemAsync(thumb);
catch (Exception ex)
private async static Task<BitmapImage> ImageFromStorageItemAsync(StorageItemThumbnail item)
BitmapImage image = new BitmapImage();
await image.SetSourceAsync(item);
return image;
Can anybody Help?

Your code looks good and I wasn't able to reproduce the issue.
You need to look in your "App.xaml.cs" page and make sure you have modified the "OnActivated" event to be able to navigate to the ContinueFileOpenPicker method.
protected override void OnActivated(IActivatedEventArgs args)
var root = Window.Current.Content as Frame;
var mainPage = root.Content as MainPage;
if (mainPage != null && args is FileOpenPickerContinuationEventArgs)
mainPage.ContinueFileOpenPicker(args as FileOpenPickerContinuationEventArgs);
Let me know if this helps.

Import image using JS (preferred on document-level)

Hello,
I am going to implement a dynamic legend using JavaScript in Adobe Acrobat. The document contains a lot of layers. Every layer has an own legend. The origin idea is to implement the legend so, that it contains the images in a dialog box for the visible layers. I can only hide/show the layers by setting state to false or true (this.getOCGs()[i].state = false;) on document-level.
Question 1: Can I extract data from layer somehow for legend establishing? I think no, as we only have these function on layers: getIntent(), setIntent() and setAction(). Right? Therefore I decided to arrange it so, that all needed icons for every layer are saved in a folder with corresponding names. JavaScript should import the icons and I build the a dialog window with icons of visible Layers and place a text(description for this icon).
I tried all possibilities of image import described here: http://pubhelper.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/astuces-toolbar-icons-et-javascript.html. I got only one way (Convert the icons as hexadecimal strings). This way isn't good, as it is too much work to create with an other tool a hexadecimal string from a images and place it into a javascript code.
Unfortunately, I cannot import image using other methods:(. Since the security settings in Adobe are changed after version 7 or so, it is not possible to use functions like app.newDoc, app.openDoc, even app.getPath On document-level. I decided to implement the import on the folder level using trusted functions like this:
Variant 1:
var importImg = app.trustedFunction(function() {
    app.beginPriv();
    var myDoc = app.newDoc({
        nWidth: 20,
        nHeight: 20
        var img = myDoc.importIcon("icon", "/icon.png", 0);
        app.endPriv();
    return img;
var oIcon = importImg();
NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
App.newDoc:109:Folder-Level:User:acrobat.js
Variant 2:
var importImg = app.trustedFunction(function() {
       var appPath = var phPath = app.getPath({
        cCategory: "user",
        cFolder: "javascript"
       try {
               app.beginPriv();
        var doc = app.openDoc({
            cPath: phPath + "/icon.png",
            bHidden: true
         app.endPriv();
    } catch (e) {
        console.println("Could not open icon file: " + e);
        return;
        var oIcon = util.iconStreamFromIcon(doc.getIcon("icon"));
    return oIcon;
var oIcon = importImg();
Error: Could not open icon file: NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
The settings in Preferences->JavaScript-> JavaScript Security are disabled (Enable menu item JS execution privileges, enable global object security policy).
Question 2: Is it not allowed or should I change some other settings or use the import on any other way?
I tried all these possibilities with .jpg, .png, .pdf. with different sizes(big images and 20x20 pxls), It doesn't work.
Could somebody help me, as I spent a lot of time with trying different possibilities. It would be actually better to implement the main goal described above on document level, are there other possibilities to access images, maybe using xml or something else) (Question 3)?
Thank you and kind regards,
Alex

Hi, I am using Indesign CS6, How to set the page size in Inches.

Hi, I am using Indesign CS6, How to set the page size in Inches.

All fields in InDesign can be entered in any measurement system. So, if you want to make an 8"x10" document and go to File>New Document and the window looks like this:
…you can type either 8 in or 8" into the Width field like this:
…and when you move to the next field, it will convert the eight inches into the equivalent number in the unit of measure that it is using at the moment, like this:
… (203.2 milimeters is the same as 8 inches). You can also enter a different measurement unit into other fields once the file is created, such as the width or height of a frame, or the position of an object in the X and Y coordinates.
If you would rather just work in inches instead of having to type the inches mark or abbreviation, go to InDesign>Preferences>General and select the Units & Increments tab. There you will see Ruler Units for Horizontal and Vertical at the top of the window. Set them to Inches and all of the fields will display in inches. If you do that to an open document, you will change the unit of measure for that document. If you do it while no documents are open, it will change the unit of measure for any new documents you create. To change the unit of measure for existing documents, you will have to open each and make the change.

Set exported resolution for each image within InDesign

I'm generating a document in InDesign destined only for the screen (as a PDF) and I'm wondering whether in CS6 the user can set the exported resolution separately for each image. i.e click on a image and set the resolution for that image. Reason: to allow end-viewers to zoom in on certain images and retain quality.
And while I'm on the subject of changing resolution, a few years ago someone wrote a script for me (in response to a post), that when you clicked on an image within InDesign, resampled the original to 300 dpi, saved it, and made the necessary adjustments in InDesign so the image stayed the same size.
Can CS6 do that? Or do I need to dig up the old script?

> ... destined only for the screen (as a PDF) ...
The developers of PDF will thank you for that statement!

Change image using actionlisteners?

Hi i've got 35 images set in a spiral, and i am trying to make it so that when a user clicks on an image, for example if the image is facing right i want it so that when the user clicks on it, the image will change and be facing down and then if they click on it again it will change to facing down, then left and so on.
I know in order to make it so that it responds to the user clicking i will need to use actionlistener, however i'm not sure how to code it so that it knows which image has been clicked on or how to change it to the desired image???
Can anyone help? Or give me a useful link?
Thanks

Well there are a number of ways to do it and it depends alot on how large the images are, how much space there can be between them, and a bunch of stuff. Also about the direction of the image - the easiest way probably is just having several different images of the same thing that are facing different ways.
You can place them on JButtons w/o Borders, JLabels, or on JPanels. You can add ActionListeners, MouseListeners ...
I see that you have got images left, right, etc, so then perhaps you want to try just adding the image to a JLabel and add and ActionListener to that. When clicked, change the image on the JLabel. To keep track of direction there are a number of ways ... if it's to be in order 1, 2, 3, 4 ... add the images to a 4 dim array and iterate through it 0 -> 3 and back to 0.

Can you replace existing images in Captivate 7 the way you can when using InDesign?

Can you replace existing images in Captivate 7 the way you can when using InDesign? I need to replace some images but wondering if I'll need to reformat, resize, rename for the Advanced Action, etc.

The work flow is a bit more complicated than in InDesign (keeps only a link to the image as you know in the frame). I understand the problem with the advanced/shared action references. This is my work flow, maybe someone else has an easier, shorter one:
Right-click on the image and use 'Find in Library' or use CTRL-ALT-F if it works on your keyboard (doesn't on my AZERTY one)
In the Library use the right-click menu to open the Properties or double-click the name of the image
In that dialog box, choose 'Import' and choose your new image; for some reason you cannot choose from the Library however, which I find really sad because I'm used to import all assets to the Library.
Drawback: if the new image has not the same width/height ratio, it will adapt to the original size of the image, you can use Edit image to repair. You'll keep the name of the image, you don't have to change advanced/shared actions.
