Editing .eps images from ill. in indesign....??? HELP!

i have ton of clip art from cd's. when i place them into ID i'm unable change the color and use the bezier curves to change the ill???
what can i do?? many thanks in advance!

Well you certainly piqued my curiosity. Unless the art is amazing similar, what purpose would batching serve assuming you could batch a certain action?
I use a lot of scripts in InDesign. Do scripts exist for illy? If so, may be worth checking the script forum.

  • I can't place images from Photos into InDesign since updating to Yosemite 10.10.3. Is this an Apple issue or an Adobe one?

    I can't place images from Photos into InDesign since updating to Yosemite 10.10.3. Is this an Apple issue or an Adobe one? It used to be a simple process with iPhoto but not anymore.

    Thanks Steve. I should have mentioned that I’m still using CS6. Wonder if that’s the difference? All I get in the sidebar is Photo Booth which is useless.

  • Put a image from web on indesign with quality problem....

    Hello,
    sorry my english, but I'll try...
    I need use a lot of images from web, to make a document designed on indesign, and after try with all extension or formats, I mean, tif, png, pdf, jpg, psd, with different resolutions, 72, 150, 300, and different bit depths, 8, 16, 32, and no way... always the image when I put on indesign the image appear pixelate or with bad quality...

    pablovenegas,
    Please realize that Microsoft Word is specifically designed for word processing application, while Adobe InDesign is specifically designed for high-quality professional-grade layout application –where InDesign outputs highest-quality output. I don't use Word app for years.
    To place images onto InDesign document, it is recommended that you place HIGHEST QUALITY of image - at least 300ppi. If you place 72ppi on InDesign, it is HOW you place that specific web-quality image on InDesign. InDesign didn't do anything wrong, it is HOW you put the web image on.
    Word of advice, do you have a permission to use all of those web images captures off the Internet without website owner, or any copyright owner's written permission. If you haven't done so, just stop doing what you are doing (web screen captures off these webistes for your own benefit or pleasure, but cannot use any of these images for commerical use). Just free two-cent advice. In closing, all I can say, be cautious and careful.
    Best of luck!

  • Convert EPS images from Mac to PC

    I wonder if anyone have any experience of converting large
    quantities of images from Mac to PC? I have several thousands of
    freehand eps-images saved for Mac that I need to convert to a
    PC-eps. Anyone know any application that can accomplish
    this?

    Do the EPS files contain live text? Fonts could be an issue
    unless you are
    doing the conversion on a PC and replacing fonts as you go.
    The only other
    difference between Mac and PC EPS files is the preview. If
    you don't need
    the PC preview, you may not need to do the conversion at all.
    FH cannot open (as editable) many flavors of EPS file, but
    can import an EPS
    and export it as QuarkXPress EPS which contains both Mac and
    PC previews. I
    don't know about the quality of the PC preview in this case,
    as it would be
    based on the Mac preview, not the original Postscript data.
    If you're on a
    Mac, you could possibly use an Applescript to open and export
    the EPS files.
    The task would be simpler and more reliable using
    Illustrator, which has a
    Postscript interpreter and is scriptable.

  • Lightroom not merging and sorting images from two different cameras - help please !!

    Hi guys,
    I need some help here. I've just imported a few thousands of images form two different cameras, however Lightroom simply sorts them by camera only. (i.e.. images from the first camera, all sorted by capture time, then come images form the second camera.)
    The cameras are the same brand and model, times are synchronised, but the images refuse to merge and sort. I've tried putting them in the same folder and importing, but that doesn't do it either. I've been doing this for years and it all worked fine, till today. Does anyone know whats causing this, and how I can fix it?
    Thanks in anticipation.
    Latch

    Hi John,
    View > Sort > Capture Time is checked, The cameras are in sync down to the second, and images from both have been merging and sorting fine for over two years, till today. Sort order is all set to capture time in all modes and views, but its still sorting first by camera.

  • Can you edit multiple images from a PDF in photoshop?

    I scan a lot of old publications with images and drawings. The images are in greyscale, but my scanner produces better results set to color. As such, I have to convert the images to greyscale in Photoshop from Acrobat. I have several PS actions that make this process easier, but I wish there was a way to select multiple images from a page or PDF file and run the actions on them (a batch) instead of one at a time. Is there? Or perhaps another method than what I am doing?

    I recommend that you scan first, save as TIFF, do any desired correction, and only then make PDFs. Scanning direct to PDFs is great for simple uncomplicated workflows, but a liability when correction is needed.

  • How do I place an image from PS into InDesign?

    Hi,
    I created a notecard in Photoshop and need to put two on a page in InDesign CS3. I placed the graphic on the page but it's way larger than the designated paper size. I tried going to Object>Fitting to fix the problem but nothing happened. So I tried manually setting the height and width I needed the image to be on the page and it resized the image okay but I couldn't see the entire image within the new size. So my question is how do I place an image, get it to the dimensions I need (see dimensions below) and add two to a page?
    FYI: The paper size is: 8.5 x 11 inches. The graphics are 4.25 x 5.5 inches. I need to print two to a page.
    Thanks for the help.

    To add to M Blackburn's advise, the two selection tools will change what you can do.
    The Selection tool (solid black arrow) will allow you to select the frame itself. It will only select the content if you click on the donut. When the frame is selected, you will see the frame with handles on the corners and centers of lines, and it will be in the color designated to the layer. The default color for layer one is blue, but this can be changed, so don't be thrown if it isn't blue for some reason. Dragging the handles will change the size and placement of the frame, and when moved toward the image, will crop it. Holding the shift key while dragging a handle will keep the frame within proportion (a 3"x5" rectangle will remain 3 units by 5 units, although those units will be larger or smaller than an inch, depending on whether you enlarge or shrink the frame).
    The Direct Selection tool (white arrow) will select the content, rather than the frame. When selecting the content, you will see the handles on a bounding box around the content, and the color will be light brown. Dragging a handle will change the size of the image, and you can also drag the whole image to move it in relation to the frame, which can be used to crop the image as well. Holding shift will keep the image size proportional.
    You should take notice of whether the frame color or the content color is what you see, because double-clicking with the Selection tool will toggle between frame and content, the way clicking within the donut will allow content to be edited while the Selection tool is active.
    If you want to view the image size as a percentage, using the Direct Selection tool is what you want. If you use the Selection tool, you will see the percentage of the frame, which will change while you are dragging it, but as soon as you release the mouse button, it will show 100%. Switching to the Direct Selection tool will show you the percentage of reduction or enlargement of the image itself, and if the X and Y aren't the same, your image is out of proportion.
    Lastly, the shift key, along with Command will probably be what you will use the most, as it will allow you to drag a corner of the frame of a placed image with the Selection tool and proportionally resize the content along with the frame.

  • How do I keep images from deteriorating in InDesign?

    I'm making book covers to use in CreateSpace, which means I have to make PDFs of my InDesign file. I can make a PDF fine, but here's my problem: Every time I save the file, the images get progressively more pixilated. If I make a PDF as soon as I create the InDesign file, everything is fine. But if I make changes to the ID file and have to save it a few times, then the images in the PDF get more and more pixellated until they are too bad to use. This happens even if I use the "Save as" option instead of the "Save" option.
    My fix has been to replace the images at the very end of my process, just before I make the PDF. But this is a very tedious process and it means I'm doing double work. Any idea what I should do? I'm not a power user, so there might be something very simple that I don't know about it.

    Also make sure that your View > Display Performance is set to High Quality Display.
    I've been having issues myself over the past several days where a file will occasionally revert to a low quality display for no reason. Switching in and out of ID has for the most part corrected it temporarily, but I suspect I've done some damage to a common file somewhere as this is happening in multiple versions and I'm working on a machine currently where I test test other people's files and software, so it gets mangled from time to time and must be rebuilt.
    If your problem isn't out-of-date or missing links, or display performance, it's most likely either file corruption or prefences corruption. If it's isolated to the single file, see Remove minor corruption by exporting. If it's all files, see Replace Your Preferences

  • Transfer from lightroom to photoshop with edits to image from lightroom

    My images in lightroom are not keeping thier edits that have been made to them when they are exported to photoshop......how do i fix this?

    If you're using the Export option under your File menu, you are exporting out of LR and it will no longer track the images.
    In order to have LR add your new PSD or TIFF file from Photoshop to your catalog, you have to open it through LR.
    Easiest way is to right click the file you want to retouch and select "Edit in Photoshop." LR will create a new .TIFF or .PSD and append the filename with -Edit.
    You can set your preference of file type under Lightroom>Preferences>External Editing.
    You can also enable "Stack with Original" (my personal preference)

  • Moving images from Photoshop to Indesign (CS4)

    Hi,
    I've designed a badge in Photoshop and want to add the graphic to my indesign project. But when I import the graphic it gets a white background by default when I want it to be transparent. I know there is a way but I've forgot!
    Thanks
    James

    What file format have you saved it as?
    PSD or TIF can have transparent backgrounds.
    When you save as TIF make sure you check the box for Preserve Transparency.
    If you have a white background in your image already, but have drawn a clipping path, then when you import the TIF file check the Show Options
    You'll see this when you go to File>Place (show options is in the bottom left hand corner of the dialog box).
    You should have the option to invoke the photoshop clipping path there.
    If you have already placed your image with a photoshop clipping path then you can use the Object>Clipping Path>Options and select the path from the drop down menu.

  • CS4 EPS PROBLEMS FROM ILUSTRATOR TO InDesign

    Hi,
    Original illustrator file, simple line, looks good in .ai   Also looks good as an .eps in Illustrator. When brought into CS4 InDesign we see very fine, faint
    bitmapped negative lines - - as if the .eps was not fully drawn.
    We have remedied this by stumbling upon using a TIFF. The TIFF appears complete.
    Is there some transfer problem with Illustrator .eps to InDesign, and how may we remedy?

  • Trouble Importing Raw Images from my Mac. Help?

    Hello! I have a Mac and I was trying to import my raw images on to Lightroom 5. When I select the folder I want to import they all show up but it will not let me select or check any of the images. Is this happening because they are raw images? I imported raw images before and never had this problem. So I tried importing it again straight from my flash drive instead of the folder but it does not let me select any of the images either. I'm on a deadline and I need to import these photos asap. Please let me know what options I can try to fix this. Thanks in advance!

    When I select the folder I want to import they all show up but it will not let me select or check any of the images.
    This is because these photos have previously been imported into Lightroom, and thus by default cannot be imported a second time. In fact, it is not a good idea to import photos a second time, and completely unnecessary. What you should do is find the photos in the Library Module and then work with the photos that you have just found that have been previously imported.

  • How do i place a jpg image from scanner into InDesign without it getting pixelated?

    Hello,
    I am currently working on my internship portfolio. So far so good but in the end on one of the last pages I wanted to attach the recommendations I got from teachers. 2 of them I received in .pdf and simply imported they look like from the pdf. The other 2 I received from teachers by e-mail 1 of them scanned in jpg. and another one scanned in pdf. I tried everything and still cant understand why the 2 scanned images become so pixelated once I export the entire file
    PS:  there are way more complicated pictures and architectural drawings which look great... the only problem are the scanned fil

  • How do i remove images from a pdf (Pls Help)

    My requirement is as follows, I need to remove all image & add a blank box equivalent to the removed image width & height where the image is removed.

    I'm wondering what your ultimate goal is?
    But one way to do what you state is to
    Go to Advanced Editing Tools, Touchup Object tool, draw aroundthe image and delete. Then take the text field tool on the Forms toolbart and draw a box where the image was (or you could do this step first if you only wanted to cover up the old image) and set the properties of the text box to a white fill and no borders.
    Presto!
    Is this a one pager.
