Export background images in bulk

Does anyone have problems exporting background images in bulk? After I capture a series of images and try to export them all at once to an external library, only the first few images export. Additionally, their names are cut off in the new folder. Any suggestions?

Since I cannot designate a file location for each background image (this is under the "type" column when you select the "update" feature in the library), I need to force that location to a drive on my computer. Therefore, I need to export all the background images to the location on my computer than reimport those images into different projects.
I don't understand why Captivate does not allow background images created using the software simulation manual mode to be exported in bulk. It is very time consuming to export than one at a time.

Exporting a background image to PDF

Post Author: Kedgeboy
CA Forum: Publishing
Hello
We have a very large report (100 pages long) and have a series of background images set on the report. When viewing through BO XI R2 DeskI you can see the images, you can print the report. However when saving the report to PDF format the background image is not included on the export.
Can you advise if it is possible to export the background image out to PDF through DeskI and / or Webi and if so how.
Cheers

Export to web page, background image option gone?

Apologies if this has been addressed (couldn't get the right boolean search terms to work properly) as it is a simple question.
Upgraded to iphoto '08 and now one of my favorite features in the 'export a web page' area doesn't appear to exist anymore - the option to use a background image instead of a color.
Has this 'feature' been removed? It's easy to stick the line into the html code, but what I value is the fact that it (used to) modify each photo's html page, sticking that line in, which wouldn't be feasible for me to do manually.
Thanks,

Many thanks for pointing that out. In Composer I have been able to remove the path to my hard drive stored image. What shows now on page source is: <body style="background-image: url(cloudback800x600.jpg);"> but the image
is still not visible. Your further advice will be appreciated.

Bulk updating 7975G Background Image - possible?

Hi all,
I've followed the instructions at the link below to upload a new background image and thumbnail onto the CUCM 7.0.1 server, uploaded a new List.xml file and the user can now select this new image from the phone and display it as their background -
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cuipph/7975g/7_0/english/administration/guide/7975cst.html#wp1088046
I've also trawled this site trying to find a way to push the image out to all phones on the system, and the only thing i could find was the following, which is from last year -
http://www.netcraftsmen.net/resources/blogs/pushbackgroundtoipphone.html?blogger=William+Bell
Is there an easier way to do this now or are they the only options? Will i have to run round the phones and do it manually?
Thanks in advance,
Jason

There's no native tool for this from Cisco. A few third parties have written software to accomplish this. Here is the one I use: http://www.voipintegration.com/Software-Background-Deployer.aspx

How to add a button to background image in Fireworks

Hello!
I created recently a clickable button with a rollover effect. I made it iin FW CS5 as a symbol and exported. So I have now .html file and 2 images files (2 states of my button). The button itself works fine on a live site. Now, I want to learn a technique to be able to put that button with the effect and the link in it on an image (it would be like a background for the button).
Thanks in advance!

Two things.
First, when you save from Fireworks, you get a Fireworks document .png, complete with layers, vector objects, and all the other various complex definitions Fireworks can support. Fireworks is the only program that can interpret this information. Any other program (such as a browser) can display what the document looks like, but it's probably much larger than it needs to be for the Web. For Web use, you want to export an image (.gif, .jpg, or one of the bitmap .png variations). Be careful when you export an image to a bitmap .png format that you do not use the same name as your master FW document and overwrite your FW document.
Second, DW is not a layout program. In order to create HTML files, you probably ought to learn a bit about HTML. I recommend you work through one or both of these tutorials:
http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/html-css-beginners-guide
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/design-and-code-your-first-website-i n-easy-to-understand-steps/
An HTML file defines blocks of content. The blocks can be stacked or can contain other blocks. The basic html file contains two blocks: the head section and the body section. The only thing in the head section that shows is the page title in the browser's address bar. Also, JavaScript code is often put in the head section. The body section contains all the visible content of your page. Within the body section, you add blocks of content that are HTML elements.
Content blocks can have properties., One of the properties is a background image. If you want to have a page background, then you need to create an image, export it from Fireworks, and then set it as the background for the body section of the page. That image is then behind all the content blocks you define within the body section: buttons, paragraphs, other images, tables, anything. Most of these other elements can also have background images defined, too.
Fireworks produces images that are defined by what's visible as well as any active slices (such as those created by buttons). When you exported your background image with a button, Fireworks gave you an HTML table (one of the many kind of content blocks) because the button defined slice regions. Fireworks can't "know" that you really wanted a background image and then the HTML to put a button in a certain location on a page. It created the images you defined (but not what you wanted).

Why are watermark and background images blurry in Acrobat Pro?

I've created a header image in Illustrator that incorporates a client's logo and text in a box to use in Acrobat Pro XI (Because you can't insert an image in the Acrobat header/foot function--please let me know if I'm wrong about that). I exported the image from lllustrator as high quality print PDF and as a high quality JPG. The document I am working on is a combination of Word generated text pages and RTF data sets converted to PDFs. When I try to insert the PDF header I've created it will not work in the data set pages as a watermark or background. It does work as a JPG, but the problem is that the box surrounding the JPG image and text loses its bottom line and the entire image looks blurry. The PDF isn't clear as I'd like it look either. Any suggestions on how I can fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hello Bill,
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, Acrobat only accepts a limited number of file formats. I used PDF images as much as possible assuming that they'd have the highest resolution.
The RTF pages wouldn't take a BMP. I've been searching for an plug-in or third party add-on to resolve the issue.

Background image for a 3d image

I am making 3d images of furniture in AutoCAD and then exporting them as .3ds files. I drag the .3ds file into Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to create the .pdf file with a 3d image. Is there a way to use an image as the background for 3d part instead of just a color?
Thanks

Incorrect aspect ratio settings in PS. Video is rectangular pixels, depending on your codec and format but PS uses square pixels. You're probably using an ink-based color space, too. PS is a print media production tool, video uses light. Switch PS to one of the RGB color management spaces.

You must compose your PS against transparency. That's covered in the PS manuals, not here, but there's a huge section of the Motion manual devoted to properly setting up PS documents.

Yes, it works just fine when the document form PS is composed properly.

Changing attributes for a slide show's background image

I want to change the "darkness" of the picture that I use as a backdrop for all my slides. I do not see how this can be done within Keynote. Individual imported pictures, yes, but not ones that I have designated as background pictures in the Slide Inspector > Appearance > Background > Image Fill.
I do this because I can change the background fill for multiple slides by shift clicking on the slides to select them, and then setting the background image all at once. But I often find the image is to dark (because I place text over the top of the background image), and so I want to lighten it up.
Is there any way to do this short of using the image adjustments within a program like iPhoto and saving the modified file? Is there another way to do what I want?
Thanks for the help from the experts.
Also, as a bonus question, it really bothers me that there is no easy way to change the font attributes on multiple slides all at once. Unless someone has a better idea . . .
Tom

There are several threads that deal with this issue, but here is the basic info:
1) You cannot change a "soundtrack" within a slideshow.
2) You can create a series of independent slideshows, each with its own soundtrack. Then you can sequence each to the next via a Hyperlink. However ...
3) Any "synchronization" of the Builds and Transitions you may have Recorded with the soundtrack will NOT work if the slideshow is played as a Hyperlink. The soundtrack will play when the slideshow launches, but you will have to trigger the Builds and Transitions manually.
4) All bets are off if you try to export any of this to another format, such as QuickTime, PowerPoint, iMovie, etc.
good luck

Background image is being printed on some web sights eg bank receipts are printed with a coloured background

'''when printing a receipt or statement from my one of my local banks the item is printed with a blue colour in the background, right clicking on the web page and selecting view background image displays this colour , how do i turn this colour off on the web sight to stop the waste of ink
'''

Well, I figured this one out as well. It was quite stupid
actually. Like I said in my other "self-answered post" I'm going to
briefly describe the solution for anyone who might need the help.
When Crossword Forge exports your file for the web it makes a
folder with that crosswords documents and it's background image.
You told Crossword Forge what image to use for the
background. Even though it makes a new jpg for your background, it
still has to reference the original. Keep those originals in your
local root folder. don't move them. Crossword Forge will have a
hissy if it can't find the original image. Yeah, even though it
creates a new image.

SSRS Report - background image not displaying in MHTML email

We have a report that has a rectangle with an image as a background (doesn't make any difference whether image is external, embedded, etc). The background image displays fine on the screen and when exporting to PDF, but doesn't show when emailing (via subscription)
in MHTML format and opening in MS Outlook, gmail, etc.
It seems to be a legitimate bug with SSRS (have tried in SSRS 2008 R2, 2012, 2014).
Is there a workaround? Service Pack?

Hi Corey Gray,
Per my understanding that the background image in the email subscription not display which format is MHTML, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue. I deliver this report to three email amounts: Outlook, Hotmail and 163, below I will share the test results with you.
Outlook: the backgroudimage disappear in the email body and there is no one attachment being sent in the email.
Hotmail: the backgroudimage disappear in the email body, however, the backgroundimage being sent as one attachment in the email.
163: the backgroudimage displays in the email body and the backgroundimage being sent as one attachment in the email.
Based on previous test results, we can conclude that: these different scenarios caused by the settings of the email rather than Reporting Services.
If you are using Outlook, I would recommend you submit one thread in this Outlook forum,
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/outlook/threads.
In this forum, you can get more professional support about how to set the Outlook.
If you have any other question, please feel free to let me know.

ISE 1.3 portal customization - background image

With all the simplicity to adjust the look and feel of portals in the new ISE 1.3 comes (albeit small for some) a price: I no longer see a way to configure a custom adjustments like a background image, not simply a top banner. This was doable in 1.2 via Cisco ISE Portal Builder or custom editing of html files and custom image uploading. Migrated portal still works fine. But since is not editable it's almost unusable. Is there still a way to do full customization of the portals?

Here are some steps on how to reference a background image using CSS and ISE 1.3

Exporting still image - how do I stop motion compressing the original image

I wanted to see if I could take a still image in motion and isolate an object as Aperture 3 can't do this. I imported a photo of 5mb. I isolated a shot or my printer, cut out the background and filled it in with a white background. The printer fills most of the shot. When I export the image as eg a Tiff or jpeg the resulting exported image is only 600kb at most.
I've tried starting my motion project as multimedia large and HD1080i which gives a slightly higher file size.
How can I export such an image so that the exported still image is 4mb approx? As quality is needed for magazine pictures. I thought I had found a way to avoid buying photoshop!
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you have large areas of white, they do compress well - either in TIFF as RLE or LZW, or in JPEG, so if the quality is good, I shouldn't worry. But use TIFF or PNG instead of JPEG. JPEG is a lossy compression format.
Happy New Year...

Background image in Sharepoint 2013 is blurry

Hi guys I need your help. Firstly I am a newbie at SharePoint 2013. I recently changed the theme of our site and change the look of our site. I selected the nature theme and changed the background image of the theme. Upon changing it, I noticed that the
image that I uploaded was blurry / grainy / pixelated. It was a high resolution .jpg file so it shouldn't be grainy.

Hi Rambautista (and maybe others with the same problem),
in order to avoid the automatic downsizing of the image by SharePoint you just need to change the existing CSS file or create a new one. I chose the second and did the following:
First of all you need to adjust the settings on your SharePoint page. For that, go to Site Settings and enable both
SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure in 'Site Collection Features' and
SharePoint Server Publishing in 'Manage site features'.
Once you did that, head to Site Assets on your SharePoint page and click on 'Library'. At the column 'Connect & Export' you can find the option "Open with Explorer". By clicking that button you open the Side Asset Folder and there you create
a new CSS file (for example with Notepad). In that file you now write:
.ms-backgroundImage{
background-image:url(" <insert the link of the image you want as background, it should be listed in
Sharepoint Site Asset> ");
Finally you insert the alternate CSS url in 'Site Settings' - 'Master Page' - 'Alternate CSS url' by clicking
Specify a CSS file to be used by this site and all sites that inherit from it and browsing to your new CSS file in Site Assets.
This should solve the problem as from now on you have your own uploaded picture as the source of the background image and not the downsized copy. (Of course you should nonetheless use a image size appropriate for the site.)

Captivate 4 export backgound images as jpeg

I am trying to use Captivate 4 in conjunction with another piece of software for creating web help files.
I am using Captivate to create software demos for training purposes. As this will also generate the screenshots I need for my web help files, I would like to export the background images created in the recording process. Furthermore, I would like to export them as "not bmps" - i.e. jpegs.
Any help on this would be useful. I don't want to have to use a 3rd party batch converter, I want captivate to be able to either take the screenshots in jpeg format or export them as jpegs.
bb

If you right click a background image in the Captivate 4 library and choose Export from the context menu you get the option in the Save As dialog to save as JPG.
But this only works for single images. If you select multiple images to be exported from the library the option changes to Save to Folder. You don't get to vary the export file format from the standard BMP file format.
If you ARE going to export software screenshots from Cp, I would personally suggest you use PNG format instead of JPG because the compression algorithm in GIF and PNG files is far more efficient for graphics that have large areas of flat colour. JPGs are better for photos and anything that has lots of gradients, but it tends to make screen text look slightly fuzzy.

Exporting Multiple Images from Library - Resized CP4 to CP5 Project

I am getting corrupt files when attempting to export multiple images at once:
OS: Occurs on both Win 7 and XP
Source: CP4 project imported to CP5. Original CP4 project was captured at 1024x768 and later resized to 1024x738.
1. Open Library Backgrounds folder.
2. Select more than one background image
3. Right-click over selected objects
4. Click Export from the context menu
'Browse for folder' dialog appears.
5. Select a folder
6. Click OK
Files are created in folder, but are corrupt. When exporting the same images individually, they come out fine. Individual image export file size ends up ~ 2MB each. Multiple image export file sizes end up ~60kb. All are exported as .bmp (not given a choice when exporting multi-select).
Multiple file export works fine in a new CP5-native project.
I've reported it as a bug.

What version of Aperture do you have? This is simple with AP3. Fle -> Export -> Project as New Library. At the far end, Import Library....
