CS3 Creating Truncated Images

I'm having a very strange issue with my Photoshop CS3 (Photoshop CS3 Extended Version 10.0.1). I'm opening JPG images that are NOT truncated, doing some light retouching, saving (by hitting Command S) and closing the file (by hitting Command W). Then when I go to open the file again, it has been truncated. The truncation occurs at the bottom of the images, often with a green digital line above it. This has happened to 3 images out of about 100 recently. Attached is a screenshot of part of the most recent truncated file.
Has anyone experienced this or know of a fix? I work for a stock agency doing retouching, so this is obviously a huge problem for my workflow.
Thanks for any advice,
Jen

Need help in CS3 creating CS4 spry tooltip-like widgit

I am extremely new to Dreamweaver and know very little HTML and no other codes and so please bear with me if I am using some terms incorrectly.
I created an image map with hotspots. When I move the mouse over a hotspot I would like for a description box to come up with either an image and text, or just an image, whichever is easiest. I believe what I am trying to do is called an image tooltip?
I've searched all over the internet to try and find step by step instructions or a video on this, but the closest I could find was the CS4 spry tooltip widgit, which is new to dreamweaver and not part of CS3. I figured out how to put a simple text tooltip on a hotspot using "alt" but that is too basic and I need at least an image instead when I put my mouse over the hotspot.

I am extremely new to Dreamweaver and know very little HTML and no other codes
Without an understanding of HTML and CSS, you will find Dreamweaver an uphill struggle.
There are instructions to achieve what you want to do on the Spry website at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/index.html. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and you'll see three links related to Spry tooltips. However, you'll have considerable difficulty implementing anything without a basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Dreamweaver is a professional tool for working with those technologies. It is not the magic wand that some people seem to expect. Spend a little time learning about web technologies, and Dreamweaver will become a joy to work with.

Invisible spacing when creating a image?

There doesn't seem to be one good spot to this question, so im posting here. I have at work a imac 10.4 os and use Adobe cs3 suite. It seems on occasion when a create a image just by typing in a name say in photoshop i get a space before or after the name of the image. No im not hitting the spacebar when i do this. I dont have this issue on my pc at home. It could be a issue for moving or uploading files to the internet or elsewhere. Short of checking each image after i create it, any suggestions? thank you

Hi there, do you have any 3rd party stuff, like maybe Stuffit AVR installed?
Here's what I'd try if not...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these files to the Desktop.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Then reboot once more.

The monitors of on location CS3 not showing image from Sony FX7

O.L records OK and plays back but at no time do
any of the monitors show an image. Was OK in Vista now gone to Windows 7
Pre Pro CS3 ok on 7 (capture and playback.) Any suggestions please

Dear Sir, Many many thanks for your very detailed answer everything works just fine. I'm not sure wether I should reply to your answer elsewhere please advise me if this is the case.
thanks again William sign on name Breezley.

Subject: the monitors of on location CS3 not showing image from Sony FX7
Breezley,
OnLocation CS3 used Direct Draw to create the video window. In Vista, you may have noticed that OnLocation CS3 would disable 'Aero' themed desktops as they did not support Direct Draw. Windows 7 does not have this functionality, so you must disable the Aero theme manually to see the video in OnLocation CS3.
To do this, right click on open desktop and choose Personalize.
This will display available Themes.
Scroll down to the 'Basic and High Contrast Themes'.
Choose any one of the basic or high contrast themes.
Restart OnLocation CS3.
This should bring your video back into view.

Cannot create disk image iDvd 7.1.2 (multiplex error)

I'm at my wits end and extremely disappointed.
Basically, I've gone through the threads that I can find, I'm down to importing a basic movie directly into iDvd. No menus. No options enabled (that I'm aware of).
When I go through the iDvd process of creating a disk image all goes smoothy until the very end when I get a multiplexor error (no error code or text saying why).
Extremely frustrating. This is on a new Macbook Pro running 10.7.2. I don't have problems with my other Apple systems, just this new one. Perhaps Apple would like to take it back??

Hi
Multiplexing Error
Multiplexing error is a very complex problem due to many things (long long list following) -
one common but not obvious reason is that material on the iDVD menu goes outside the TV-Safe area (or just touching it).
So first - turn on TV-Safe area and move any object well inside of this.
Wide screen stretched - usually (as I think) it is due to making a 4x3 movie in a 16x9 wide-screen project OR the other way around. This forces one to on flat-screen TV (or other) set the presenting view right - My has 4x3, wide-screen, zoom and auto-wide-screen and I have to switch this by my remote for some DVD I've made "wrong" way.
Now my long long list on Multiplex Error
LONG LONG LONG LIST
Multiplexing Error
PART One.
Use of strange video/audio material e.g. .avi, .wmv, .mp3 etc.
I only use.
Video - StreamingDV (miniDV tape via FireWire) and
Audio - .aiff (as on audio-CDs) (else converted to this .aiff 48KHz)
Photo - .jpg (.bmp known problematic)
Chapters !
A. Using strange letters in video project name e.g. +,/; etc. keep to a-z and 0-9 strange letters in project name e.g. +
as described by Donnyboy69. Does the title of your project have any symbols or decimal points in it. If so, that is why you are getting the error. I had a project that had a + sign which caused the same problem. I renamed it without the symbol and low and behold, it worked.
B. Location of Chapters
• Can’t be at start or end of movie (Skip first/start one - iDVD sets this by it self. At the End - no need)
• Not in a transition (or within 2-3 seconds from it)
Important when from iMovie HD6 or previous - Now also observed when using FCE 4
PART Two.

"Multiplexing Error. Problem during initialization of tracks"
Simply remember to add subtitles to your Quicktime files and menu buttons.
Once I did that, I was back in business.

Do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
I use only - Verbatim DVDs
I use only - DVD-R
I burn at an as slow speed possibly e.g. x1
This gives good DVDs
PART Three.
Multiplex Error
Chuck, Chicago 2/7/2009.
Back again. Here is what I have found to work. I also have and use a LaCie DVD-R/RW DL external drive and a LaCie external hard drive as well. Since yesterday I have tried a few ways to burn a themed iDVD project having four 56 minute movies on it, amounting to 226 minutes onto a DVD DL disc, capacity 240 minutes. Apple tech support really didn't know what to do but gave me a very good tip. I had two options left. Apple tech support's tip was to try disc image. One of the replies on a thread with this subject said not to, but my experience today is good. Put your project onto "Burn to disc image," under "iDVD, file." Yesterday encoding took me 23 1/2 hours. Overnight for iDVD disc image, encoding took 21 1/2 hours (again) while I slept. This morning I tried to copy/burn disc image to a DVD with Roxio Toast 7, and it stopped near the end of the burn with some kind of "error" message. So then I tried Utilities> Disc Utility> Burn icon, and followed it through. Be sure to click the DVD DL drive in the window "Burn disc in.". I had one other problem though. At the end of a 46 minute copy, it started to verify, and at the end of verify it rejected the burn. So I tried again, and when "verify" appeared, I clicked on "Skip." The disc finished burning and is doing fine and well. A long and tortuous process, but at last something works. I made several additional copies using Disc Utility. Best wishes. Chuck, Chicago.
2. Disconnect any other external devices not absolutely needed.
e.g. external USB/USB2 hard disks, other FW hard disks etc.

(Not a 'guy' but I will answer!)
First, I do not think that mixing wide-screen and standard makes a difference in iDVD.
Second, you should use a better brand of DVD disk. Also, many of us have experienced fewer problems on playback with DVD-R disks. Recommended brands here are Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden. Memorex and TDK are not consistent and may not give you a correct burn. They apparently have fewer layers in the composition of the disk. I have always used Verbatim DVD-R disks and have not had any burn problems.
Also, choose a slower burn speed, 4x or less.
Third, to determine if the iDVD project will burn properly, create a disk image file (from within iDVD, go File->Save as Disk Image) and test it. Mount the disk image and then open DVD Player (in Applications) and view your project. If it plays correctly, you can then burn the actual DVD disk from the disk image file using Disk Utility.

I did everything I've seen suggested, but a friend (who used to be an Apple Genius) suggested that I do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
It worked, and I got a clean burn from iDVD.
Hopefully this can help other people.
by dheb0422
Well, I finally got it, and it was odd enough to post here incase anyone looks this topic up again. Many things were tried, including burning the unedited film, the edited film without titles and chapter markers, abbreviating the chapter markers in case length was the issue (remember the old iMovie used to truncate them when moving to iDVD?). In the process, I noticed that one, and only one, chapter marker was on the same line as the title marker. All the others were on the line above. The only way I seemed able to change that was to clip a few seconds of film. After that last clip, the offending marker took a place on the line above, as were all the others. That run published, compiled completely and burned. That's one for the books.

To add my experience with Multiplex Errors using iDVD (7.0.4), I recently created two iDVD projects
Video from both passed from FCE 4.01 with chapters
One project worked fine in creating disk image file
The other gave Multiplex Errors
I tried suggestions to remove special characters and no chapter marks at beginning, but nothing worked
Note that I've used iDVD for dozens of projects and this is first time I've run into Multiplex Errors
Anyway, for problem project, I tried an experiment where I removed all chapters in FCE and passed to new iDVD project
This time multiplex errors gone
So had something to do with chapters
So now I tried numerous experiments to remove individual chapters and try again creating disk image with new iDVD project
After numerous tries, I was able to narrow problem down to 1 "Bad" chapter mark
That is, when I left the "bad" chapter in my FCE project and passed to iDVD, iDVD gave multiplex error
When I removed "bad" chapter mark (and others in), no multiplex error
As a final experiment, I moved "bad" chapter mark about 5-10 sec's beyond original point and passed to iDVD, the multiplex errors now magically went away and I was able to finally create my disk image.
I have no idea why this worked, but thought I'd mention here in case someone else runs into similar problem.

In addition to Bengt's fine advice, burning errors can occur if you have located any of your menu buttons wholly or partly outside of the safe TV viewing area. Go to your main project menu, then click on View/Show TV Safe Area, to check. Drag into the safe viewing area any buttons that are outside the safe viewing area.
Russ One - suggest this
Multiplex Error-There was an error during muxing preparation
One thing that worked for me was to export the video w/o chapter markers as a self contained movie (thereby not loosing the edits & etc). Then make a new FCE project and import that movie into a new sequence and add the chapter markers. I've used "-", "&" and "," with no problem in the chapter names. Removing the markers or exporting without them did solve the problem but renaming them with just numbers 1,2,3....5, did not solve the problem and since this problem seems to happen with with iMovie as well, it would suggest the problem is in the video or audio and in combination with the chapter markers iDVD just can't handle it. The only other possibility is that both iMovie and FCE share the same or similar chapter marker code that some how is corrupting the markers.
Summary - What to try
1. Chapters
• Only A to Z and 0 to 9 in chapter title
• No Chapter mark at very beginning of movie
• No Chapter mark in or within 2 seconds from any transition in movie
2. TV-safe area for buttons (no one outside this)
3. Safe re-boot
4. No other external devices connected - that are not needed
SDMacuser adds to this
• On #4 ... No ext. devices. Some think this applies mainly to ext. FW. Not the case. Also applies to ext. USB2 as well (not to mention flash drives too).
Do not leave 3rd party devices / camera / camcorder plugged in unless it is being used with iDvd's One Step process. Certain web cams can trigger this also (especially ones with added features like LED light/s that draw additional power from the FW or USB bus).
5. Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-up hard disk
6. Make a DiskImage first - reduces where problem originates
7. Trash iDVD pref. file
8. Make a new iDVD project
9. Movies in project with same aspect ratio e.g. 4x3 or 16x9
10. No other programs/applications running during iDVD process. e.g. Internet, screen & energy savers

How do I Create interactive images to be used in another website?

Our office is contracted with a simple website company, so from the begining the framework is there. I want to add an interactive map that has each county hyperlinked to information about that area. I was told that Dreamweaver is the program I would need in order to create it.
So, I have the program now but every tutorial I read is about making your own website in dreamweaver and I can't find anything about how to create the image to upload into a different website.
Anyone know how to do this????
Thank you!

This helps, thanks. I have the content on the web page (where the hyperlinks will attach to), I have the image of the map, and I am making the shapes for the hotspots, just not how to get it all to link up.
Also, when I saved a trial (just to make sure it would all work) it doesn't successfully upload as an image onto the website, just a little box with a red X. Any more thoughts anyone?

Class casting, creating an image and decompiling...

Hi, I've got a couple of questions:
1)
How can I fully decompile classes, so with the implementation of the methods? Is it always possible to fully decompile a class file? When is it and when not?
2)
I aks this questions before, but I still haven't got it working, so sorry, but I ask it again :) :
I want to create my own class, for example cMyClass which extends the java.awt.Image class, which has abstract methods. How do these methods(for example getGraphics etc) have to be implemented?
3)
I can't cast a Image to cMyClass... why not?
Someone told me he did the following:
Canvas c = new Canvas()
cMyClass oImage = (cMyClass) c.createImage (100, 100);
and that this worked... I tried to do this too, and it seemed to work, but it actually didn't!!
I found out that c.createImage returns a null reference!!! That's why Java was able to cast it to my own cMyClass (not a problem to cast a null to something else), but when I created a Image (by doing a lot of unnessacary difficult stuff), and then tried to cast this Image to cMyClass it throw a ClassCastException or something like that...
How can I cast the java.awt.Image class to my class anyway?
3)
Why can't you create a image like i've done above or even like below:
Canvas c = new Canvas()
Image oImage = c.createImage (100, 100);
Why does this return a null reference?
Isn't there a better way to create an image?
4)
The getWidth and getHeight need a I thought observer...? Why is this? I just want the width and height and don't have an observer or something like that. Is there a way around this?
I tried getWidth(null) but this returns -1
Please help! :)

Hi, I've got a couple of questions:
1)
How can I fully decompile classes, so with the
implementation of the methods? Is it always possible
to fully decompile a class file? When is it and when
not?You can always get a dump of the bytecode with 'javap -c'. If you don't want to figure things out yourself, try searching google for a class file decompiler, possibly a de-obfuscator.
De-compilation is completely possible if the original author wanted that, by including debugging information. Depending on the degree of such information and the amount of code obfuscation, the decompiled code may lack variable names, line numbers, field and method names, class names, and even code structure. Names and line numbers are usually not re-creatable automatically, since the information is simply lost, but you can replace them with your own strings when analyzing an unknown class file (using the correct tools). Re-creating the original code structure may work in some cases, but to me the general case looks rather close to the halt problem (i.e. not solvable).
Use a de-obfuscator, hope you've got good luck, and analyze the bytecode manually if that doesn't work.
2)
I aks this questions before, but I still haven't got
it working, so sorry, but I ask it again :) :
I want to create my own class, for example cMyClass
which extends the java.awt.Image class, which has
abstract methods. How do these methods(for example
getGraphics etc) have to be implemented?I don't really understand the problem. 'abstract' means on the language level that your subclass must provide an implementation, i.e. a method body. What that method is expected to do is explained in the javadocs for Image. But in fact you're free to do anything. You could play a sound in the getWidth() method (replace with any method name if you want). Just consider the fact that a lot of code calls getWidth in the hope of getting the width of the image, not playing a sound. So much about the language level.
On a higher level, a subclass of Image should implement a certain way to describe an image. AFAIK this means that your code must know the size of the image and know how to produce the pixels of the image. I can't tell you in general how you must do this, because it depends on your special case. This boils down to the question, why do you want to write a subclass of 'Image'? What new way of describing and image have you come up with?
3)
I can't cast a Image to cMyClass... why not?Simple, and that's certainly not an ALT. Because that specific Image is not a cMyClass. It's probably a BufferedImage or similar that was produced by AWT.
Please read the specs carefully what casting is about.
Someone told me he did the following:
Canvas c = new Canvas()
cMyClass oImage = (cMyClass) c.createImage (100,
100);
and that this worked... I tried to do this too, and it
seemed to work, but it actually didn't!!
I found out that c.createImage returns a null
reference!!! That's why Java was able to cast it to my
own cMyClass (not a problem to cast a null to
something else), but when I created a Image (by doing
a lot of unnessacary difficult stuff), and then tried
to cast this Image to cMyClass it throw a
ClassCastException or something like that...
How can I cast the java.awt.Image class to my class
anyway?You can't, and if you understood casting then you'd understand that it wouldn't make sense.
3, 4(don't know)
Maybe stupid question, but for example the BufferedImage, is this
completly written in Java?
How is the link made between the OS+hardware and the Java code? I
mean, displaying images etc. is very platform dependend not?Look for JNI (Java Native Interface). It's a way to link native (e.g. C) code with Java code.

Unable to create Disc Image from DVD

I do not know what that error means. However, if you open up the Disk Utility & go into it's Help Menu & in the search field type duplicating a CD or DVD. There you will find detailed instructions on how to create a disc image from a DVD.
Good possibility your answer may be found there and/or there may have been something you missed in creating a disc image.
Good luck.

How can I create an image gallery with "next" buttons?

So I am almost done with my portfolio site (YES!)..now I just need the actual content (the images). My site is written in AS3.
I've watched many tutorials on how to create an image gallery (auto scrolling ones, scrolling ones that require mouse hover, etc etc), but those aren't what I am looking for.
I want a gallery that looks exactly like this one here:
http://jalbum.net/res/help/integrating-tutorial.html
I have a lot of work to display in my porfolio so there must be arrows at the end of the thumbnails so I can add more stuff. So I am just stumped on how to make the image gallery work with the ability to scroll for more photos with the click of the arrows.
Any ideas? Thank you.

Watching tutorials and learning from them are two different things. If you have learned from them you should be able to use what you have learned to devise a gallery such as the one you link to. If you have learned from them and cannot use what you learned, then you probably need to find/learn more.
If you study the design you linked you should be able to reason out what elements you need to devise... it is not overly complicated.
For the large picture you could have a Loader into which you load whatever image is selected from the thumnails. To get a brief transition you could just set the alpha of the Loader to 0 when an image change is occuring and gradually fade it in after the image has loaded.
The greatest challenge you are likely to face is in getting the thumbnails to advance back and forth depending on which is selected. All of the thumbs would be placed in a container (movieclip or sprite) and that would be masked so that only a portion of them is visible.
All thumbs that are not selected have their alpha property set to some value less than 1. Selecting one calls for the file it associates with to be loaded into the Loader. If the choice happens to lie off screen, then you need to move the movieclip that contains all of the thumbs some set value in the right (+x) or left (-x) direction.
If you want the thumbnails to wrap infinitely then when one leave the thumbnails area for movement in a direction, you need to take that thumb and relocate it to the other end of the thumbs in the container.

Problem in creating 1 image using differnt images

Dear Fellows I want to create an image by using different images in byte array format. Images may be transparent or normal images. I want final result in byte array. I am using the following technique which is working fine but the problem with this technique is that it takes too much time to create an image. This is because I am using MediaTraker. If I delete the code of MediaTracker then program have undeterministic behavior i.e, sometimes it create the final image properly and sometimes nothing is displayed in final image.
I need some help from you. If anyone of you know the technique to draw image using different images without using mediaTracker kindly let me know.
Early replies will be appreciated

Is there a way to create an image of a CC installer that way I can install without internet?

I work for a college that has a department of over 100 mac computers currently runing 10.6 and above. I am the IT here and am in charge of installing all programs the students use, so ease of installation helps. I know I can install using an internet connection and it seems pretty simple, my issue is that if for some reason I dont have internet connection in the department I wouldnt be able to install the programs. What I want to know is if I can somehow create an image for the CC softwares, such as Photoshop CC, that way I can create more images of that installer, put them onto external hardrives and install that way without using internet. hope thats enough information, thanks for the help.

Creating an image from a Mac and restoring it in another Mac

Hi,
I've spent a couple of hours trying to make a copy of one of my macminis, trying to copy it in another macmini to have the SAME machine "duplicated".
I've read some tutorials online, but something is going wrong....
First of all, I went to my "master" macmini, DiskUtility, create new image from folder, select my macintosh HD and I created the image of the whole HD.
Almost a hour after, the image was created.
Then I moved the .dmg to a USB drive, and I connected the USB pen to the machine that I want to be a "clone" of the master. There, I opened Disk Utility, Restore, I selected the Source image from my USB, but I can't selected (=drag) the Macintosh HD into the "destination" field...
What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks, any help is appreciated :))

Hi sr.richie;
If you are booted from Macintosh HD then the system will not allow this cloning operation to take place. You must boot from another disk in order to do that.

Is there any way to create this image in photoshop?

Is there any way to create this image in photoshop? ,Any help would be appreciated?

What JJMack said. An example I pulled in less than 5 minutes:
All I did was inserted a text layer with that same inside color and a stroke layer style with that same outside color (about 3 or 4 pixels; outside position). Font used was Calibri Regular.

What's the best way to create disk images?

of 300GB hard drives or partitions?
Disk utility is failing for me with an input/output error.
A typical example:
I have a new HFS+ 500GB external FW 800 drive that I am using a destination.
I will boot from my original 'install' DVD and then open up disk utility to start the disk image creation.
Note: my source is my "Macintosh HD" partition that is around 300GB.
Everything looks like it is running well, then a couple hours into it, it fails... something like:
"cannot create img.. blah input/output error".
Note: Verify Disk shows no errors on the source.
One guess is that the img creation process is failing after I leave the computer and perhaps my computer falls asleep. I tried setting the 'Energy Saver' prefs in the systems prefs, but of course, since I'm running off the install DVD, I wasn't able to get into the prefs.
Anyway, ultimately, I need to create periodic disk images of my macs.. so what are people using to do this?
Thanks for the comments!

Eric, Carbon Copy Cloner is what I was leaning towards. The owner says his guess is that there are bad blocks on my HD, and since Disk Utility is block based, that it is failing where CCC is file based, and will just skip files that are corrupted or that it can't copy.
I guess I'll roll with that for now.. but it would be nice if the Disk Utility logs spit out a more descriptive log.. instead of "could not create disk image, input/output error".
Thanks!
