Exporting grouped shapes as an image

I have grouped several shapes and text in a single graphic and would like to export into Pages as an image (jpg, gif, whatever). Is this possible? The only way I can figure is to export the entire slide but that is not really the same.

No, separating the text from the graphic did not help - same result. Basically, the graphic which is a collection of shapes and text, all layered to form a single graphic paste in to Pages as a collection of shapes and text. There is no layering, just a shape, followed by another shape, followed by a text element, followed by another shape - so on.

Re-sizing grouped shapes

Recently I have been unable to re-size grouped objects in a page layout. I have about 4 floating shapes forming the image of a framed painting on a wall. When grouped, I can adjust the height of the group, but not the width. I have been doing this same layout for quite some time and only recently have had this problem...I have looked at the User Guide and the topics here...anybody know what the problem might be?

It's normal that nobody knows the trouble…
on a system in good health we may resize in both directions.
Try to run Pages from an other user account.
If it behave the normal way, we will know that the problem is in your User Account.
In such a case,
quit the app
drag its Preferences files :
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.pl ist
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.LS SharedFileList.plist
on the Desktop,
restart the app
and let us know it it recover a normal behaviour.

Making the icon shape match the image

So I have an image I want to use as an icon for a folder. I basically want the icon to appear just as the shape of the image, with the background coming through the surrounding, i.e. the W in the Word icon. Currently when I paste the image to the folder as an icon image, it is surrounded by a white box (the background).
I've through several searches, have made the background transparent in Photoshop, exported as a png, have reopened in Preview and have had no background showing. Unfortunately when I attach it to the folder it is still bound with a white box when displayed as the icon, SL puts the white background back in.
Any help, or links to examples I can use to fix this?

Mac OS X (10.6.4)
Use Software Update or the OS 10.6.8 combo update to update your OS. Also, update everything SU has to offer for your computer. When done, repair permissions and restart your computer.
After doing the above:
Highlight the icon........
Hold down the Option Key......
Go to File>Get Info......
In the existing window, click the existing icon, and then choose Edit>Copy
Next, click the icon to which you want to transfer the copied icon. Its icon now appears in the Info dialog box that’s still open on the screen.
Click the icon in the dialog box, and this time choose Edit>Paste. Viola!!!!! You now have a new icon.
Or you can download this easy to use simple shareware program called CandyBar. This easy to use piece of software is also less time consuming. And is now FREE!!!!!!

Heart Shape, group shapes and add photo?

Hi
I am trying to make a poster that has several hearts with photos in them.
I have created a heart shape by making a diamond and two circles and grouping them together. Now I would like to put a photo in that shape but it seems that the fill function is grayed out. I can't even change the color. I then tried to use the heart shape as a mask over the photo but can only use the standard shapes, not my grouped shape. I have tried using the freeform shape tool but just can't seem to make a heart with it. Any suggestions on how to approach this?
Thanks

I once did this in Keynote by drawing a heart shape using the 'draw a shape' option (and yes, it took a LONG time to get it right, because getting the curves right is such a pain). I then formatted the shape (in Inspecdtor -> graphic) so that it was a heavy line of the appropriate color and selected "image fill" for the fill.
Good luck!

File does not exist: /export/home/oracle/orahtml/marvel/images/spacer.gif

Seeing this error in the apache log:
File does not exist: /export/home/oracle/orahtml/marvel/images/spacer.gif
I know there are spacer.gif files under the theme folders but why is it looking for a spacer.gif file in the images folder? Is this a bug?

Hello,
Yes I just checked it's a problem with theme 9 there are a couple of places where the theme calls #IMAGE_PREFIX#spacer.gif when it should call #IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_9/spacer.gif
There are two ways for you to fix this
1. Copy themes/theme_9/spacer.gif to the top level images directory, I recommend this one because then if someone creates the theme from the repository again it wont' come up agian.
2. Change all #IMAGE_PREFIX#spacer.gif to #IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_9/spacer.gif in theme 9, if you export the theme you can just us a search and replace the export to do this and then reapply the theme.
This as been bugged and will get fixed in future version.

How to create a shape based on the shape of an image

I want to erase a portion of a mask based on the shape of an image. how can i do this? btw how to create a circle? thx

Both your questions leave room for imagining what you might really mean, but here's a shot at answering them.
If you have a mask that you want to erase portions of based on an image... assuming the mask is a simple rectangle you drew with the rectangle tool, change the opacity of the rectangle's fill in the color panel to make it see-thru, place the mask over the image, and using the eraser tool, erase the portions of the mask that you do not intend to retain using the image below it as a guide.
As for drawing a circle, hover over the rectangle tool and a menu should appear. Select the oval/ellipse tool. To draw a circle, hold down the shift key and draw just as you did for the rectangle. The shift key forces it to retain equal width and height.

Trying to split large library, I exported a folder of 3000 images to a new library. The new library was created with these images, but it still remained in the original library. How can I remove it from the original library while keeping it in the new l

Splitting a library does not remove the folder I moved from the original library. I exported a folder of 3000 images from the original library to a new library. The new libraryb was created alright, but the folder and the 3000 images remain in the original library. Why? And how do I safely remove them?

The new libraryb was created alright, but the folder and the 3000 images remain in the original library. Why? And how do I safely remove them?
Exporting a library will create a duplicate of the exported library items. Usually you do this to work on a partial library on another computer and later merge the changed images back. Splitting the library is not the primary purpose of exporting.
If you want to remove the library items that you exported, select them in the source list of the library inspector and delete them (File > Delete Original Images and all Versions). Then empty the Aperture Trash, after checking that you did not trash more than you wanted.
But check, if the backup of your Aperture library is in working condition, and check the exported library carefully, before you do such a massive delete.

Exporting a template with multiple images

Let's assume I want to have a large print made at an outside commecial lab because my printer does not handle the size.
In the Print Module, is there a way to export a template with multiple images so that it can be sent to an outside lab for printing?
Or, is this not possible and I would have to design the template in Photoshop and send the file to the lab?
If Lightroom is not yet capable of this, it certainly seems like a worthwhile feature.

Thanks for sticking with this thread to help me.
I am on Windows and I do have PDF capability, the full Adobe Acrobat Professional.
I have been experimenting with your suggestions and, yes, saving it as a PDF and bringing it into Photoshop is a workaround. The images and Identity plate come into Photoshop as they appear in the template in Lightroom.
What doesn't appear in Photoshop is the whitespace(margins)around the images. They appear in the PDF, but they don't appear when I open the PDF in Photoshop. Is there a setting I'm overlooking in the PDF settings dialog that will correct this? Or, is this just the way importing a PDF works when it comes to margins? Must I always go to Image/Canvas size to get the canvas I want? Is there a way of not having to do this?

When exporting my Indesign Layout with Images, the images disappear ?

When exporting my indesign layout the images disappear once exporting as a PDF print.
I have had several information bubbles appear claiming I need to alter my blend space due or colour settings ?
I have altered the blend space to rgb and still it does not work.
I have also unlocked all the layers in attempt for this to work.
My assignment is due in tomorrow and still I cannot get this feature to work
any help would be great !

CharlieLDavis1992 wrote:
When in preview mode they do not appear either.
If you understood my question and the images also disappear in InDesign when switching the screen to Preview mode, or Overprint Preview, that means they are set to non-printing in some way. Either they are on a layer set to non-printing, or they're set to non-printing on an individual basis in the Attributes panel.
>I am using the latest OS,
Not really helpful. OS X? Windows? Probably not relevant, as it turns out, for this problem, but you should be specific.
>The pdf appears in preview
Does that mean you are trying to use Mac Preview to view the PDF? If so, it may give you bad results. Mac Preview is not a godd general-purpose PDF viewer and is incapable of rendering complex PDF.
The first error dialog you show is what you would get when opening a file in ID that has different document color spaces than the default settings in your color settings file. That's not a problem, and to preserve the color appearances you would leave things as they are.
The second warning dialog indicates you are making an interactive PDF, which is RGB. If you are using CMYK images I don't think you'll avoid color shifts no matter what you do if you have transparency, but I don't do interactive PDF, so I can't give good advice here. If you are using RGB images, by all means your transparency blend space should be set to RGB.
Can you post a screen shot of the export dialog?

How to draw 2D shapes on the image generated by JMF MediaPlayer?

Hello all:
IS there any way that we can draw 2D shapes on the image generated by JMF
MediaPlayer?
I am currently working on a project which should draw 2D shapes(rectangle, circle etc) to
mark the interesting part of image generated by JMF MediaPlayer.
The software is supposed to work as follows:
1> first use will open a mpg file and use JMF MediaPlayer to play this video
2> if the user finds some interesting image on the video, he will pause the video
and draw a circle to mark the interesting part on that image.
I know how to draw a 2D shapes on JPanel, however, I have no idea how I can
draw them on the Mediaplayer Screen.
What technique I should learn to implement this software?
any comments are welcome.
thank you

If anyone can help?!

How to export an album and keep images in the same order in elements 11 mac

I made an album of my trip to Australia (lots of pictures) and changed the order of the images (not the same as shooting order) and when I export the images in the album to a folder or memorystick, the images are copied to that place but I lost the album order of the images.
How can I prevent that, without having to renumber al 500 images separatly?

Thanks for the tip, Michel
It worked like a charm…

The order in album is only kept in the organizer database, so the only way not to lose that order is to rename files.
If you are using the 'export' function, select your album in custom order, select all photos and in the dialog, choose to rename with a common base name.

What I do with xml after calling getMapAsXML function
Any example?There is a request page in the mapviever configuration webpages, there you can send it to the server and get the image in return.
or you can write your own programm to send it to the mapviewer servlet using post and progress the response by yourself. Have a look at the mapviewer documentation pdf, there are some examples on the different possible different xml requests.

Export problems multiple movieclips to image sequence

For our customer we made several flash animations. My output has to be image sequences for Cinemascope format. The export function in Flash for image sequences does not work! All my images are the same frame. This is frame 0 on the timeline. So the embedded movieclips wont playback.
When exporting a Quicktime movie, some frames are skipped and missing in the output! So the export options in Flash are totally not working for my situation. We bought an application SWF to image but also here are some frames missing in the export. I can not relay on Flash and this application.
The project is built like this: we made several movieclips and scaled them and put them in position. Then we made one new movieclip with all the earlier made movieclips inside. Then scaled the entire movieclip to the Cinemascope stage size.
Are we using Flash in a wrong way here?
Why does the exports functions don't work on my project? (built in movieclips won't play, quicktime mov skips images)
How can i solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Greetings Henk

Ok this is workaround but should in principle do what you want:
//create an instance of library object
var mylibrary = fl.getDocumentDOM().library;
var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
var tl = fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline();
//get items in library in an Array
itemArray = mylibrary.items;
totalCount = itemArray.length;
for(var i=0;i<totalCount;i++){
    myItem = itemArray[i];
    myItemType = myItem.itemType;
    myItemName = myItem.name;
    mylibrary.editItem(myItemName);
    fcNum = tl.layers[0].frameCount;
    for (f=0; f<fcNum;f++){
            tl.setSelectedFrames(f, f)
            framenum = f + 1;
            //select your destination, on MAC use something like file:///Macintosh HD/Users/username/Desktop/
            doc.exportPNG("file:///C|/test/"+myItemName+ "_" + framenum +".png", true, true);
1: open the fla file you want to convert to a movie and create a backup
2: Create a new Flash Javascript file and insert the code above, Make sure you have enough hard disk space in your destination folder
3: Press the play button and Flash will automatically parse through all items frame by frame in your library and save the images as png
4: Take a break as it might take a long time

How do I export TIFF versions of my images?

Just starting to play with the demo. How do I export TIFF versions of my images? Will I need to open RAW files in different application, such as Canon Digital Photo Professional?

No,
Just right click and choose "export version" there will be a ton of options and you can make your own presets from there as well.
