CS3-style of placing the images inside frames in CS4.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to find a way to have the cs3 - style of placing the images into frames in the new Indy CS4. I mean when I hit cmd+D and draw a frame I don't want any scaling / fitting of the placed image. I know there's no scaling if you drop an image into existing frame but when you draw one on-the-fly it's either the frame that keeps the proportions of the image or when you hold shift the image gets scaled to fit into.
I'd rather have the old style placing as an option - but didn't find such a switch anywhere in the prefs.
Thnx.
R.

Interesting request. I wouldn't have thought anyone would want the older way of creating images in frames, but I guess there's always someone who wants the old ways.
I can't find any preference to restore the behavior back to the pre-CS4 way.
But if you want to work with images the old way, you can. Your commands are just a little different, in a different order. But you may actually save a step.
Consider:
b In CS3 you had to do the following:
1. Drag to create a frame.
2. Switch to the Direct Selection tool.
3. If desired, change the position the image inside the frame
4. If desired, scale the image inside the frame
5. If desired, use the Fitting commands to fit the image inside the frame.
b In CS4 you have to do the following:
1. Drag to create a frame.
2. Switch to the Direct Selection tool.
3. Scale the image inside the frame.
4. Position the image inside the frame.
However, step 5 is probably eliminated as you already started with the image fitting inside the frame.
I agree no one likes to need to learn new work habits, but it's not such a big deal.

  • Lightroom Desktop Syncs Collections but NOT the Images Inside Them From Lightroom Mobile

    I am on a Mac running 10.10.2
    - Lightroom 5 CC (current)
    - Lightroom Mobile on an iPad Air (all current)
    - Lightroom Mobile on a iPhone 6+ (all current)
    The iPad and iPhone and web all Sync correctly between each other. A Collection created on the Desktop syncs just fine to the web and LT Mobile.
    The Desktop updates the names of the Collections from the iPhone and iPad without an issue
    However, the Desktop does NOT sync the images in the Collections. Though if you hover over the Sync icon to the left of the Collection name, it does know how many images are supposed to be in the catalog.
    I have deleted and reinstalled both the Desktop and Mobile applications on all platforms.
    On the Desktop version, the Collections in "From LR Mobile" have the Sync icon to the left of the Collection name.
    I have signed out from the Desktop version multiple times.
    When I relaunch the Desktop version, it says "Signed On, Sync On"
    I have deleted the Sync.lrdata file multiple times.
    I have restarted the Desktop multiple times.
    All to no avail.
    I have my Diagnostic report created and ready to be uploaded to Dropbox for viewing.
    Please help!

    Thank you for your response.
    I tried Deleting Data, then created a new collection on the iPhone. It appears just fine on the Web, Lightroom Desktop sees the new collection, the icon to the left says it is syncing, it knows how many images are to be synced, but it still is not bringing in the image itself.
    A private message with a link to DropBox with the Diagnostic report has been sent.

  • How do I get images into the "images" folder with Dreamweaver CS4?

    Hi,
    I've been following the tutorial by Christopher Heng, on chapter 2, adding images. "Look at the right panel of the web editor. You should see at least two major sections: the top section has a tab entitled "INSERT", and the bottom section has a tab labelled "FILES""...
    I don't see the tab "Insert", but do see "Files" and have created a folder in there called "Images", as Mr. Heng explained.
    The next step sounds easy enough - copy your image files into the images folder.  But for the life of me I can't seem to do this. Can someone PLEASE help me out?
    Thank you - Louise

    Do you mean you can't get your images into the images folder of your site?
    Open the folder with your images in it on the desktop,
    not inside dreamweaver,
    and open the folder you want to put the images on your desktop too,
    so both folders are open,
    right click the image, copy and paste it to your website images folder
    or double-click the image and drag it across into the website images folder.
    You could also open the image in your image editing software and 'save as'
    then browse to your website images folder and save there.

  • How to correct "No timestamps were found on any of the image files" in Bridge CS4?

    I am trying to process a "Auto-stack Panorama/HDR" images and I keep getting the error message "No timestamps were found on any of the image files".  I don't understand what this means and how to correct the issue so I can process my images.  All of the images are .CR2 raw files, which Bridge shouldn't have issues with.
    Can anyone help with correcting the issue of the timestamps?
    Thank you.

    Does this sound at all familiar to anyone or has anybody experienced this as well? I have a blank document open and have tried both placing and opening an image (not one image in particular but many) and I recieve a pop up box saying CS3 has encountered an error and needs to close. I've uninstalled all adobe products on my PC and reinstalled them hoping that would help, but the same problem persists. Please, if anyone has any info, tips, trick i'd very much appreciate it. I'm a working pro and have fallen a day and a half behind because of this. Thanks in advance.

  • Cant see the image in browser!

    Hi
    I have a jsp application where I am visiting some JPG image . I placed the image inside :
    "C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25\webapps\ROOT\reports\output\proe\"
    I am able to see those image in my machine. I sent the link of my application to my supervisor. He is able to run the application but he cant view those image rather than some cross signs. Any idea why is that? .This is my first web application. Still needs to know lot of stuff. Pls help/suggest me.
    Regards

    This may be caused by a Tomcat configuration issue.
    When you say "application", do you mean web application.. Have you created a web application directory within the webapps folder or are you using the default, as your directory structure would suggest..
    You mention a jsp application.. Do you mean you have developed a jsp page which contains an image..Do you have a jsp page at CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT ...
    I suggest reviewing a bit about web applications and Tomcat deployment to help you solve this issue.

  • Moving an image inside a frame

    Hi all,
    I have an image in place holder.
    I want to resize and move the image inside it.
    How can I do this with VBScript?
    I tried to do this:
    set myRect = myPage.Rectangles.Add
    myRect.GeometricBounds = Array(17.2,10.8,38.3,40.2)
    call myRect.Place("C:\image2.jpg")
    call myRect.Fit(idFitOptions.idContentToFrame)
    myRect.Resize idCoordinateSpaces.idInnerCoordinates, idAnchorPoint.idCenterAnchor, idResizeMethods.idMultiplyingCurrentDimensionsBy,Array(2, 2)
    myRect.RotationAngle = 2
    But it resize the frame and not the image...
    Thanks
    Yael

    Double click on the image and you will see the shape that frames it. Click outside the frame and your cursor becomes a hand to drag it around.  Click on the handles of the image and you can resize it.

  • Can image data frames is shown at the rate of 30frames/sec, will it replace video. If so how?

    Actually I dont have camera to acquire video signal, while I have to work on video compression technique H.261. I just wanted to ask that if I dont have camera, can I use the image data frames at the rate of 30frames/sec to show like video or can you suggest any other alternative?.
    What labview library supports video compression?
    Any example of implemented technique of video compression if any one can suggest?
    Thanks in anticipation

    Hi @info,
    I would suggest you take a look at the Sequence and Save to
    AVI.vi example.  This can be found by
    searching the example finder for AVI. 
    From the sounds of it this example dose very close or exactly what you
    would like to do. As for the compression question I would suggest looking at
    the AVI Compressor Comparison.vi

  • Accessing all of the individual images inside a database?

    I just checked my Pictures folder and found my iPhoto database, though I can not access the images inside it, when I double-click on the database file it opens iPhoto. Where are all of the individual images inside of my iPhoto database stored?
    Thanks.

    They are stored within the Library Package.
    Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    So, accessing the files via the Finder is not supported. iPhoto replaces the Finder for anything you want to do with your images - and I do mean anything. It can all be don with with or via iPhoto. If you use it's the Go-To app for anything to do with you photos.
    For instance: want to edit an image in Photoshop? 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.
    As to accessing your photos to upload/email/use in another app:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    Finally: If you want to inspect the Library package:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

  • Box containing text and image (fit frame to contents).

    Hi all,
    The best way I can describe what I am trying to achieve is to show you a picture.
    So essentially, I'm looking to create a grey box, containing some text with an image floating to the right hand side. I want about 2mm space (padding) inside the grey box so no content goes right to the edge and I want the text to wrap around the image. The bit I'm finding tricky is when I go to use the 'Fit frame to content' option. I'm trying to remove the space indicated by the red arrows but if I anchor the image inside the text frame, the grey box shrinks to the height of the text and the image overflows.
    This would be incredibly simple to achieve on the web, am I doing something wrong?
    Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry, been out for an hour.
    I understood that you want to have some variable height text frame (the gray box), and that this box should reduce in height to fit the text contained therein, but not  less than necessary for the bottom to be 2mm below the bottom edge of the variable height image (which I'm presuming is anchored to the first line of text in the frame) in a case where there is not sufficient text for fit frame to content to avoide making the frame shorter than the bottom of the image.
    I believe this could be scripted, but that will still require you to run the script. You should ask over in InDesign Scripting
    As far as a container that holds both text and image frames, yes, but only if you "paste into" a new frame after creating the two separately and grouping, which probably is not what you have in mind.

  • How can I create side bars without cropping the image?

    I want to create side bars because I am projecting in an vertical panel, but if I crop the image them I only get the middle part of it.
    How can I create side bars in an way that I can still move the image inside?

    On a Video Track directly above the clip(s) you want to have behind the side bars, place a clip of Color (or whatever you want to use for your sidebars).
    Now go to the Effects Tab > Matte >Mask Shape and drag the Mask Shape filter to the Color clip you have placed on the timeline.
    Double click on the clip to open it in the viewer, and click on the Filters Tab.
    Click Invert Box, and adjust the shape to get the side bars you want.
    And now the clip(s) that are beneath this effect will have the side bars and be independent of it, so that you can move them around.

  • How do I position a Loader image inside a Sprite?

    In AS3 / CS4 I'm trying to programmatically create a bunch of rectangular objects, let's call them 'cards', that will contain an image and a colored background and eventually some other elements like text.  I want to create alot of these cards and move them around inside of a larger panel (also a Sprite) of sorts.  I can successfully create colored rectangles in my cards and place the cards where I want in the panel, but whenever I try to add an image to a card, I can't seem to position the image inside the card's coordinate space, it ends up being placed inside the larger panel's coordinate space instead, even though I'm adding the image/loader as a child of the card.  I thought maybe it had something to do with having to wait until the image loading was complete, so I added the listener as a test but that didn't work.  Here's the code:
                var cont:Sprite = new Sprite();  containing 'card'
                var rect:Sprite = new Sprite();  // draw a colored rectangle in the card
                var loader:Loader = new Loader();
                loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, positionLoader);
                rect.graphics.beginFill(0xbb3399);
                rect.graphics.drawRect(60,60,99,99);  // this works as expected
                rect.graphics.endFill();
                cont.addChild(rect);
                addChild(cont);
                var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("top.png");
                loader.load(req);
                function positionLoader(e:Event):void {
                    loader.x = 30;  // position the image inside the containing card
                    loader.y = 30;
                    cont.addChild(loader);  // add the image to the card

    I solved this problem.

  • Placing an image in a tabbed panel content area, it shows up on all three panels

    This is crazy.  It should be so simple. But sometimes this happens to me. Like today.
    I have many pages that use a simple tabbed panel feature with three tabs.
    Each content area has a text frame and an image frame.
    Sometimes when I try to place an image into the content area of the first tab, the image shows up on all three content areas.  I have tried and tried placing the image, making very sure I am in the "content area" on not just on the page.  But nevertheless, the image seems to be "stuck" on the page, in front of the accordian feature, and therefore showing on all three tabs.
    How am I not targeting the placement of those images correctly? There just aren't that many options for me to screw up, it's a simple tabbed panel, that's all!
    Help please.
    Barbara

    Are you using the latest version of Muse/Air?
    The borders of the Content Area of a tab gets highlighted as soon as you drag over an element over it so it is very unlikely that something like this could happen. However, I believe it could be due to messed up Layers configuration as the only way I could reproduce this problem is through moving the image into a layer above a layer that contains the Tabbed panel or in case of just one layer, you might have the image at the very top.
    Thanks,
    Vinayak
