Drag & drop; image degradation; preview for web screen

Hi. I'm a photographer and was wondering how to enforce a no
drag and drop option for each of my images on my page. I'm also
having problems with dragging an image from the desktop to my
template and the image not transfering over well, i.e. it looks
flat with a lack of contrast. And last question, when I apply the
preview for web page from DW, my sample does not include the
photograph, just a small box with a ?. Any solutions? Thank
you!!

Drag & drop images from Finder into new Photoshop layer?

Is it possible to drag & drop images from Finder into a new Photoshop layer?
I can do it from a web browser, but not the Finder.

>I couldn't find a way to do so in Bridge, but also I never use that program. Never got into Bridge's workflow. >
I really do suggest that you re-visit Bridge especially the CS4 version.
I just cannot conceive of trying to use a Digital camera, a Scanner or the Creative Suite programs without using Bridge and ACR.
I can even use it to read PDFs and inDesign documents (all pages!) without opening Acrobat or InD..
>I usually keep a "work" window open with all the files I am using for a project, so it would be far more handy to be able to skim them in the Finder.
It is now far more effective and efficient to do that in Bridge than in the Finder.
This is where you would find the new Collections feature to be invaluable:
Just select all the images and other files connected to a project from any folder and drag their icons into the same Collection.
You then have all aliases (previewable at full-screen slide-view size with one click of the space bar in CS4) to ALL of your files which are now visible in. and openable from, a single panel.

How do i fix my printer when it won't show the print preview for web pages? it worked and now not.

how do i fix my printer when it won't show the print preview for web pages? it worked for a while and now it doesn't. printer is an hp officejet 7310 all-in-one.

I would suspect this is a hardware issue. The rollers are probably having issues picking up the relatively smooth thick media. You might have better results be cleaning the paper pickup rollers with a damp paper towel. Also make sure the paper is snugly loaded and the paper guides have been correctly positioned.

Drag drop images while composing the forum post

Hi All,
Many time I felt like it would be good if we can drag drop images to the forum post being composed. Similar to Gmail compose, if NI forum composition page also has that drag drop feature, it would be great. But I'm wondering if it's only me or other people are also out there looking for this feature.
Thanks,
Ajay.

Francois,
I have tried to implement this bean but I'm having problems. I've been using your
LAF package for almost 4 years now without issue. I tried the jar file from the zip
file. I also created a new project and recompiled the java code against the 10.1.2.3
frmall.jar file that matches our app server. I resigned it and it's still not working.
Maybe I'm just missing something simple. When I compile and run the form, I see
the canvas and I can change the text fields, but I don't see how I can drag and
drop items. Hopefully, you can think of something that can fix our problem. I would
love to be able to use drag and drop functionality in an upcoming application.
We're running the following versions:
App Server: 10.1.2.3
DB: 10.2.0.5
JDev: 10.1.3.3.0
Windows XP for the clients
Windows Server 2008 for the servers
Thanks,
Jason
Edit: I looked in my java console and saw that my issue was that we signed this jar file with a different certificate. I created a special config as Francois has suggested in another post and included only the DnD.jar file and it worked. However, I can't get the image or multi-line text areas to drag and drop. I'll keep poking around and see if I can figure out what's going on. The console seems to recognize when I'm dragging and dropping from all fields.

Spot Heling Brush Tool & Save for Web screen

Spot Heling Brush Tool
While using Wcom Grip Pen I can’t switch brush size option to any other than Pen Pressure – it’s not good.
Save for Web screen
It would be good to have “Apply” button for size changing, like it w3as in CS3 (I didn’t use older versions).

You don't use pixel preview and possibly also do not work at 72dpi, do you? That's why your crop lands on sub-pixel values and is quantised to the next whole pixel, changing the effective output dimensions. Aside from that, why bother with artboards? You could just use the slice tool and save it all in one go...

I am using adobe photoshop cs6. I am facing a problem. When i save any image as "save for web". After saving image it show cropped. An image show many parts of the image after saving the image. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Just go back in photoshop and use the Slice Select tool, then just click and select the slice and hit delete - if you're not sure which one is the active slice just right click and find the one that has the Delete Slice option.
It's possible you either added the slices by accident or if you received it from someone they just had the slices hidden. For the future, you can go to View > Show > Slices to display (or hide) slices.

Poor image quality save for web

It doesn't matter whether i'm exporting from Ai or Ps or whether it's CS6 or CC. I have changed the raster settings in Ai and i've also tried all optimization options with all different export file types (jpg, png, gif) at all different quality settings. It doesn't matter if I start with an ai, eps, pdf, png... the export result is always poor quality.
I have tried exporting at 300ppi and that does fix the quality issue and bloats the file size, but this way (the export route) is so time consuming since you have to resize your artwork each time as well as the artboard so that it doesn't cut off pixels. Save for web never used to have these quality issues and it also never used to cut off pixels around the edges. These workarounds prove very time consuming and produce file sizes that are not ideal.
When i first noticed this issue I was using Mavericks with CS6 and since am using Yosemite and Creative Cloud.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create any bitmap or vector graphic in Ai or Ps, It doesn't matter whether you convert text to outlines or not
2. Save for web
3. View image in any application or browser to see poor quality and pixel trimming. Others running the same version and system are not having this issue, but I have checked many forums and found many others that do have this same issue but can't seem to find a solution.
Results:stair stepping, degradation, pixel trimming, general poor image quality
Expected results: Previously the save for web feature allowed for a decent quality image

First try the Cleaner. here's the link for CC but there exists one for Cs6 as well Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Everything I have read says that you kind of have to compromise file-size for quality. Could you post a screenshot of your settings?
also, if it helps: Creative Suite * Optimizing images

Photoshop over-saturating images when saving for web

I've spent most of the day recalibrating my monitor.
I now use a gamma setting of 2.2, and target white point of D65.
My color workspace is sRGB IE661966-2.1.
I'm using Photoshop CS3.
So I've tried converting an image (even though I am already working in the same color workspace) to sRGB IE661966-2.1 and when I do a Save-for-web, Adobe gives me an over-saturated image.
Now, while in Photoshop I move the save-for-web window lower so I can visually compare the image in photoshop to the one presented in the save-for-web dialog, and they are still different.
I am at loss.
I could understand if I went to another computer and viewed the image, or went to another browser and viewed the image, but even in Photoshop, I'm seeing oversaturation.
To compensate, I've been desaturating my images, but this is frustrating, as I feel it should work.
Can anyone shed some light on this matter?
I'm running OS X v. 10.4.11
a dual processor Intel dual-core 2.66GHZ zeon
2 GB RAM
Monitor is a Dell 2407WFPHC

>> I wouldn't want the other apps to assume sRGB for an untagged image, because
That's a fair opinion...[I] would want an option to set an RGB Default profile in ColorSync, though, because the 'high-gamut' monitor I had here whacked out Finder, Preview, iPhoto color, and that setting would 'fix' the problem across the Mac OS.
The last time I saw this ColorSync RGB Default option was in 10.3x
http://www.gballard.net/psd/cswfi/panthercs.jpg
But according to Apple's John Gnaegy, when I asked him WHY that setting wasn't working here:
He said, "The ColorSync panel> Default Profiles tab headline is wrong.
"I certainly understand why you would think (that ColorSync's RGB Default setting is Assigned to iPHOTO documents that do not contain embedded profiles), but that's not what happens. Untagged images are instead represented by the profile of the preferred (Default) display," said John.
It appears some people at Apple understand the issues -- default 1.8 gamma, default monitor RGB, trying to set up ColorSync option to set a Default RGB -- but it also seems like Apple is very slow and stubborn to change...

Drag & Drop Images Between Tabs?

Hi, Forgive me if I am missing the obvious but I need some help.
Just got myself an iMac and I am in the process of getting it set up how I like it, Made the move from a Windows PC where I used the FireFox browser.
My plan had been to just use Safari on my Mac to take advantage of all the good things like handoff, keychain etc with my other iOS devices.
Now here is my problem, I use eBay a lot and I upload extra photos to hosting sites, then drag and drop them from that tab into the description on the eBay tab.
However Safari does not seem to allow this, When trying to drag the images between tabs I just get a green + symbol which replaces the tab whereas when I use FireFox to do the same the other tab essentially "opens" allowing me to drop the image in.
Is there anything I can do to fix this or a work around? I have tried the "Copy image" option but when I paste it in I just get a broken image picture.
I should say the OS X version of FireFox works fine so it must be something to do with how Safari handles it.
Hopefully somebody can advise?
Many Thanks
Craig

I have found a slight work around in that if you use a new window instead of of a tab, then shrink it down you can drag and drop images.
But surely there has to be a way to do it between tabs?
Basically I am looking for a way to have the tab open when it is hovered on instead of the green + button appearing...

Updated iPhoto last night...Now, can't copy/paste or drag/drop images to folders/thumb drives outside of iPhoto

As the title states, I updated iPhoto last night as per suggestion from the App store.
It installed, and I went back to work using it. Within a few minutes, iPhoto crashed. I sent the report to Apple.
When i opened iPhoto back up, it said it found inconsistencies and needed to repair. so i let it repair, which took a while...when it was done, i went back to work editing some photos from a recent shoot. It almost crashed again while i was working and then it came out of it. Anyways, i shut down everything after a bit of work and all was good in the world...until this morning.
I went to get the images out of iPhoto and onto a thumb drive, but it wouldn't let me. I selected 50 images, copied them, and went to paste in the folder on the thumb drive...but it only pasted 10 of the 50 images. so i tried dragging them all and dropping them into the folder. nothing happened. it has done this to me once before, and when it did, i restarted and tried again and it worked...this time, i restarted and tried again and it kept doing the same thing. so i shut it down, did a cold boot, got everything back up, and tried again...still doing the same thing.
It seems like every time i do an upgrade to iPhoto it causes some kind of problem. it never crashed on me until i did the first update, and since then the stability has been a real issue.
So anyways, i didn't have a lot of time this morning before i had to go to work to try to figure this out, BUT, i did notice that it would allow me to drag and drop 1 image at a time...and that would save to the folder i selected...but i don't have time to do 1 image at a time...EVER! i am a photographer and need to drag and drop hundreds of images at a time.
Can anyone help?
thanks!
Joe

Thanks for the response, Larry!
I will try that when I get home and see if it works. Will update the thread with the results then.
I hope it works as you described, but it is/was so much easier to just be able to select the photos in iPhoto and drag/drop them directly into the folder on the thumb drive...it's odd it doesn't work anymore...?

Can't drag & drop images from Windows Explorer into Elements 7

Hi...
I'm a Photoshop Elements 7 newbie... I can't drag and drop images (jpeg, tiff, Olympus RAW) from Windows Explorer (file explorer and not IE) to Photoshop Elements like I can in Corel Paint Shop Pro X2? It also works in Corel Painter IX.5 & ArtRage 3 (except for RAW)... My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.... I've uninstalled and re-installed Elements but to no avail. I've also tried to run Elements under various compatability modes but still no luck....
Any ideas?
It's driving me nuts...
Thanks kindly
Ken

"I just remembered: If the Editor or Organizer are "running as administrator", then you can't drag and drop from Windows Explorer. To see if you're running the program as administrator right click the desktop icon or Start Menu item you use to launch PS and select Properties. On the Compatibility tab, is Run This Program As Administrator checked? (Note that in Vista and Windows 7, running a program as administrator is different than running it in an account that's a member of the Administrator's group.)"
I wasn't running the program as administrator so I enabled that compatibility property applied it then disabled it. It seems to work now. I thought I'd add this to flesh out the previous answer. I didn't open the program in between the enable and disable, so it is a quick process. Also, I am using windows 8.1 and had to open the file location in order to do this. Right click on the tile then choose 'open file location'

Reducing image file size for web use without pixelation

Can anyone help me figure out how to best reduce images for fast web loading (in slideshows in Muse). I have done the save for web in PS and they are super pixelated now. The only versions that do not lose quality are the original size and they are huge files. Any help is appreciated.
Also can anyone tell me how big each image should be, what is considered a too big size (kb) for web images? Thanks Hillary

The settings I used were in the save for web panel and I saved the image as "medium" and the quality was 30, optimized was checked and it was scaled down to 16kb instead of 700kb. Is there a guideline as to how large in kb an image should be for good loading, it seems like with faster internet speeds we can go a bit larger for asset size. Is it OK to have an image as 65 kb if it is quite large (8 inched wide)?
I think I solved the problem. I just went in and saved the images as larger quality. I hope it does not slow things down too much. Any advice would help.

Drag & drop to ext drive for backup; "insufficient privileges" error

I tried this in the Time Machine forum but I think this is a better forum.
I backup monthly to an external drive by dragging my Home folder to the ext drive & overwriting the prior month's data. About every other time, after it reads the # of files to copy over, I get a window that says:
The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.
I'm the Administrator and I'm backing up the main/admin home folder. When I dig deeper to troubleshoot the problem "items", it's always the same. It starts backing up the subfolders in Library, then when it gets to "MIDI Drivers" (which is empty on the original Home folder), it stops and doesn't copy anything after it. The next subfolder is "Plugins", which has three more subfolders inside, all of which are also always empty.
Why does it keep hanging up on these subfolders? When I narrow it down and copy them over one by one, they copy with no problem, but for some reason it always hangs on these subfolders.
Incidentally, I don't add much data in the course of a month so the monthly backup is fine; my ext drive is noisy so I don't like to keep it on 24/7; it's a hassle to plug & unplug the drive from the Macbook whenever I want to move around the house; and if it wasn't for the error message, the drag & drop is about as simple as it can get for me.
Any ideas?

If this isn't happening with a specific application, then you might try the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Drag & Drop image of currently playing song causes the Spotify window to "jump" to another position

When I try to drag and drop the image of the currently playing song (the one that appears under the playlist list, on the left side of the screen), the entire Spotify window jumps (i.e. moves/repositions) inside the screen to a totally different position, making it impossible to drag the song to the intended playlist. It seems that the the window is moved to the current mouse cursor position (i.e. the left top position of the window becomes the mouse cursor position, with an offset). When I reposition the window again manually, and try to do the same thing, it doesn't happen. I have been able to reproduce this issue a 100% of the times: I just refocus a few other windows I have open and then try to add the currently playing song to a playlist in the afore mentioned way.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
