Easy way to replace images?

Hi, I am using Pages 09 for a document with some diagrams and different images that I have. I have sized them the way I want. My problem is that I have updated some of these images, changed some colors, text etc in the images, but they are the same size and the same filename. Is there any easy way to replace these old images with the new updated version? Is there some way to re-link them as you can in InDesign?
I tried to just copy an image from Finder, then selecting the old image and pasting, hoping that the size would be adjusted but it did not: the new image was huuuge.
Thanks!

As far as I remember, just replace the old files by the new ones in the document's file.
If it is a flat file, rename it
xxx.pages.zip
double clic to expand it
Now, in both original format you have now a package.
ctrl click its icin > Show Package Contents.
After that, you will see the picture files.
For safe, move the old ones in a folder.
Move the new ones in the package.
Close the package
Double click to open it.
It all worked fine you will see the new pictures.
Maybe one day I will write a script to automate the task.

  • Easy way to replace images in keynote without losing formating?

    I have a keynote document that contains a large number of images which have been formated in various ways using the tools in keynote (resizing, masking, builds, etc.). When I noticed that the presentation was performing rather slows (locking up, delayed response, etc.), I took a closer look at the image files and discovered that they were 600 dpi. I changed the resolution of the files down to 72dpi in photoshop and replaced the original image with this new lower resolution version. The performance and that slide was greatly improved. However, I now have over 100 images that need the same treatment. I can pull the image file out of keynote fairly easily by dragging the file icon from the file info box of the the metrics tab of the inspector window into a finder folder. BUT, here is the question: is there a way to quickly and easily replace the original 600dpi images in keynote with the new ones that I have scaled down to 72 dpi in photoshop? As far as I can tell, I cannot simply drag the new image (or copy/paste) into the file info box of the metrics pane in the inspector window. Any suggestions???

    If the scaling between the 600 DPI and 72 DPI versions of the images are different, then there likely isn't any way to do a bulk change. If, on the other hand, you just need to replace the images themselves, but the same effects are applied (e.g., same scaling, masking, etc.), then you may be able to batch replace them by tinkering with the presentation package. All Keynote presentation are actually "packages", collections of files that appear to the Finder as a single file. If you select the presentation icon while holding down the Control key, then choose "Show Package Contents" from the popup menu, you'll see the files inside the presentation. These files will include the original image files. If you name your 72 DPI files exactly the same as their 600 DPI versions, and replace the old versions with the newer, smaller versions, Keynote should use those new images exactly as it did the old ones.
    If you have done a bunch of transformations on the images in Keynote, I'm a bit dubious that this will work, but it may be worth a shot.

  • Is there a quick & easy way to replace an image within an image frame?

    Is there a quick and easy way to replace an image in an image frame that is already set up with the proper effects?
    In my example, I have a photo grid and just need to replace the photos periodically. Everything is already in place in the grid. I don't want to recreate the grid on the page.
    I thought that I could have clicked to get the brown frame for the image and placed a new one, but that didn't work. Or, I could have right clicked and found something like "replace image", but that didn't work.
    How can I quickly and easily just click on the image I need to replace and replace it with another one?

    There is an easy way to do this. Click on the image you would like to change and then change the fill to the new image. You will see the fill option in the upper left when you have the image you would like to change selected.

  • WHAT IS THE BEST NAD EASIER WAY TO REPLACE THE SKY IN A LANDSCAPE FOR A DIFFERENT ONE?

    WHAT IS THE BEST AND EASIER WAY TO REPLACE A SKY IN A LANDSCAPE FOR A DIFFERENT ONE?

    depends who clunk you can get away with.
    easiest is magic wand and use the layer properties to make it 'multiply' or 'lighten' or 'darken' etc as suits your images.
    a step on from this would be to use the layer blending options. it's the easiest way to get a good overlay,
    paste the new sky image into your image and scale it to fill the whole area, then double click the layer
    then use the blending options especially noting the 'blend if' sliders at the bottom which you can use to tell it to allow different tones to show through.
    this mixed with holding the l'alt' key as you adjust the sliders allows you to fade from 0-100% of certain tones being visible through the layers, so you can for example allow you new sky layer to be seen in between branches of a tree etc. fiddle with it and you'll see what it does.
    combine this with a layer mask where you can paint out bits that you definitely don't want the sky to show through.

  • Is there an easy way to replace individual elements in one string array from another striing array?

    I have a string array with elements as follows:
       00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
       00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
       00 00 00 00 5E 00 00 00
       00 00 50 00 30 00 33 00
       34 00 39 00 00 00 00 00
       00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
       00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
    The array I want to use to replace values with is:
    43 4E 31 30 30 33 30 30 31 41
    Where 43 goes in the 3rd row fifth position
    Where 4E goes in the 3rd row seventh position
    Where 31 goes in the 4th row  first position
    Where 30 goes in the 4th row third position
    Where 30 goes in the 4th row fifth position
    Where 33 goes in the 4th row seventh position
    Where 30 goes in the 5th row  first position
    Where 30 goes in the 5th row third position
    Where 31 goes in the 5th row fifth position
    Where 41 goes in the 5th row seventh position
    So the final array looks as follows:
       00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
       00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
       00 00 00 00 43 00 4E 00
       31 00 30 00 30 00 33 00
       30 00 30 00 31 00 41 00
       00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
       00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

  • Is there an easy way to replace fonts in Photoshop ?

    Is there an easy way to replace fonts in Photoshop without clicking on each text layer? We just got a new font system, so now our fonts don't match up. Looking for a fast/easy way to replace the fonts like in InDesign or Illustrator.

    Actually (You probably can guess what I’m driving at) Scripting could be used to automate such a task, but it would not really be »easy« unless one has some experience in the matter – if text-items contain a mixture of fonts it might even get kind of »complicated«.
    Still, depending on the quantity of files to be edited, the OP could try asking in the Scripting Forum if someone might not have a Script for something like this already …

  • Is there an easy way to replace spry menus with jQuery menu system?

    I just learned that Adobe is no longer using spry or that spry does not work on mobile devices. My entire site (built in CS5.5 moved to CS6) is built with 3 different spry menu systems. I have been told about jQuery, and many other menu system options. I work in design view and can copy and paste code, read code etc...but cant write it to save my life.  I cannot seen to understsand how a different menu software system will integrate with DW especially when I use design view. My question is, is there an easy way to change my spry menu's? I have 2 spry menu bars, spry tabbed menus on EVERY page and a spry accordian menu that repeats on all pages. I am working with a template I built, so hopefully it is an easy fix.
    Any walkthrough help would be greatly appreciated. Below is the code for my template minus the div set up.

  • Is there an easy way to replace/swap assets?

    I output my short from Avid, ran it through Compressor, and made a DVD in DVD Studio Pro.
    Now I've done some re-cuts and want to create a DVD of the new version, using the DVD Studio Pro file I used for the last DVD. Is there an easy way in DVD Studio Pro to "relink" the new video assets to replace the old ones in the new version? This would save me from rebuilding the main menu button, redesigning navigation, and recreating chapter marks.
    I have found a workaround - Quit DVD Studio Pro, "hide" the old assets in a folder, and then direct DVD Studio Pro to the new assets when it asks where the old assets are located. But I wonder if there is an easier way to do this from inside the program.
    Thanks very much for any advice!
    I am using DVD Studio Pro version 4.2.1

    Eric, thanks for chiming in.
    I assume you mean replace the old ones with the new ones on the Finder level?
    Well, part of my goal is to avoid destroying, re-naming, or moving the old assets.

  • Quick, easy ways to make images look better?

    What are the best ways to make images look a bit better? I shot my footage using a pretty bad camera, so quality already isn't the greatest, but what is the best way to make images look a bit more "movie-like"? The 3way color correstion is nothing for me, it's too hard to make images look good, they'll quickly turn too yellow or red, etc... Something to improve contrast maybe? Using Image Control: Brightness and contrast (bezier) doesn't seem to help much.

    Okay, I took a couple of screenshots:
    http://www.majhost.com/gallery/TheDarkBrickX/Random/film/afbeelding_1.png
    http://www.majhost.com/gallery/TheDarkBrickX/Random/film/afbeelding_2.png
    http://www.majhost.com/gallery/TheDarkBrickX/Random/film/afbeelding_3.png
    http://www.majhost.com/gallery/TheDarkBrickX/Random/film/afbeelding_4.png
    Now I don't know alot about image quality or color, but I think there is not enough contrast? It all looks very cold. Luckily, image quality isn't the most important thing in this project, but it would be nice to be able to touch it up a little bit.

  • Easier ways to tag images?

    I'm going through tons of photos and applying keywords to the overall events, so maybe as an example it is a bday party so I select all of those images and tag them all as such. Next, I am trying to tag individual people within all of the tagged bday party images, and as I'm sure you are aware, it is very tedious. Just curious if there is any other way to do this?
    Thank you in advance.

    You could find all photos with "Steve", and add the keywords to all of those photos at once. Then you repeat with "Mary", and "Fred", and "Usain" and so on.
    No one said keywording was easy or quick; it does require effort. The benefits are huge. The value of something is related to the work you put into it.

  • Way to replace image names? HELP!!

    Hi, I'm working on a series of keynote documents that need, for outside reasons, to have exact consecutive image numbers... right now they are kinda all over the place. Lets say an image is called Image_02, and I change the name of it to be Image_27 to match said outside need, is there a way to tell it to update the image to Image_27 in keynote?
    In Indesign, the document will have a little icon saying it can't locate the image, and then you go through and tell it where the image is... can you do that in keynote? I have about 300+ images to do this with, and I can't imagine I will have to go through and manually replace all the images in keynote so the names are correct!!Help!!

    Thanks for your help Mark!
    You're right, yeah the QR code is a placed link, probably would be easiest to have the document open and relink and save out as a PDF 100 times. The files obviously need to have different names but they DO NOT need to relate to the file name of the QR code (codes/web addresses will be scanned manually by the client after printing for reference).
    So now I just need help to figure out how to 'Relink' and 'Save As' 100 times. I've never used scripts before, is it something I can do myself or would I need to get someone to write it? Or can I just set up a regular or batch action?
    Thanks again!

  • Any easier way to replace the last character of a string?

    this is what I got:
    select SUBSTR('tjgb005dy_01_31_08',1,LENGTH('tjgb005dy_01_31_08')-1)||'1' from dual;
    tjgb005dy_01_31_01and I am not quite fond of it. it looks ugly and it is long.
    so, I wonder if you guys have better ideas?
    Thanks

    (Perhaps with replace there is no easier solution than the primary posted.)Well, look where I ended up...
    SQL> -- generating sample data:
    SQL> with t as ( select 'tjgb005dy_01_31_08' str from dual union
      2              select 'tjgb005dy_01_31_03' from dual union

  • Best way to replace image in an AI file 100 times?

    Hi all!
    This is driving me crazy...
    So I have my A4 AI document with a QR code at the bottom (don't ask why I'm using QR codes, client work) and need to replace it and export the A4 poster as a PDF. I need to do this 100 times with 100 different QR codes and save 100 PDFs.
    To summarise I need to,
    Open A4 document (that has artwork already).
    Drop in QR code A near the bottom.
    Export as PDF A.
    Repeat..
    Open main document.
    Drop in QR code B.
    Export as PDF B.
    And so on x100....
    I have a experience with actions in Photoshop but not batch actions or scripts, and obviously need to run it in Illustrator...
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you!

  • Replace Images

    The program I am documenting recently had a version update,
    and for some reason the programs decided to change the look of all
    icons. I have the images in numerous topics, is there an "easy" way
    to replace the images, without having to manually review all 200+
    topics?
    Thanks!

    Hi Christi
    As long as the image dimensions haven't changed, the process
    should be as simple as saving the updated images to the same
    locations using the same file names. Now if you are using source
    control, you would want to ensure you updated the source control
    databases with the new images too. But I'm not certain how that
    would be handled. Perhaps seeing a new date/time stamp on the
    images would be sufficient.
    Cheers... Rick
