Floating Images -- Removing Artifacts

This design issue is driving me nuts.
I'm creating a flyer that incorporates "floating" product images.
I removed the background of the original images, using Photoshop. Two files were rendered from tiff, and two files were rendered from smaller rez jpgs. All four floating images were saved as psd files.
I created the flying in Adobe Illustrator, and placed the psd files onto the AI artwork, and the monitor depicts elements as they should be depicted.
Problem is when I print the document in color two of the "floating" images are enclosed by boxes.

Can anyone explain how I might fix this issue? I feel like it stems from the nature of the original image files (tiff vs jpeg), but unfortunately I don't have hi rez tiffs of the "error" images.
Thanks very much!!

Thank you, Monika. I will need to take some time to study YDBS's pitfalls.
Wow design theory/know-how is really fascinating.
A friend of mine circumnavigated my issue by taking the completed AI file and opening it with PS.
He then erased the yellow background and saved the images and text on a clear background. Saved as a PSD file.
Then he placed the "clear background" PSD file onto a yellow background, in AI.
The lettering was a bit jagged on the monitor, but printed out fine for my purposes.

How do you set-up a floating image in a header or footer?

I want to place a floating image in the header or footer so it repeats on every page of a section. Somehow this has been achieved in the Project Proposal Template but I can't work out how you set something like this up from scratch. Can you help me?

It is not in the header.
Highlight the floating image and then go Format > Advanced > Move Ojbects to Section Master.

Most efficient way to insert into a story with many floating images?

I have a document with many floating images. They must all be floating because otherwise I do not get the Caption numbering right and it is impossible (because some images take an entire page) to use only anchored images.
Now, I have to insert a large part into the middle / at the beginning of a section. If I do that the text will flow, but the images remain in place. This is extremely slow working because of all teh movements I have to do on all the images. What I would like to do is to let the pages after the page where I am entering remain the same and when I insert text and images this should just move up one page at a time. Then, at the end, I can do the fine tuning of attaching both parts again. Is there a way to do that in an efficient way?
What I now often do is move all the floating images out of the pages, then insert the new stuff, move the images back, then make sure all the references are fine (e.g. if they refer to an image on another page, the style becomes paragraph number + page numer). For some sections this is a hideous amount of work (many, many images).
Is there a smarter way. I have been thinking about splitting and later rejoining a section. If I add pages to one section, the following sections are not damaged, after all.
What is the best way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

An indented paragraph next to a floating image?

Hi,
I have a typical book layout page: Text with a floated image to the left, with a blockquote that is indented 30px to the left and right. For some reason when the indented paragraph is next to the floating image, the indent does not show up. It does show up when the text wraps that paragraph below the image.
The reason for this appearance is that though the paragraph is set margin-left: 30px; margin-right: 30px;, because the image has a width of 400px, the margin to the left, for that paragraph, must be 430px. Of course when the text wraps so that the indented paragraph is below the image, the indent is far too wide.
Here is some code:
<div style="width: 100%;>
<img style="float: left; width: 400px;" />
<p>Some text goes here</p>
<p style="margin-right: 30px; margin-left: 30px;">Indented paragraph</p>
</div>
Any idea how to get this blockquote indenting?

Use text-indent property.

Can I remove files from "images removed from" dir?

I have some duplicate files on my iMac, including some large videos in a "images removed from xxxxxxx" directory. Can I safely delete these?

Yes, you can delete this additional "images removed from ...." vault, if you do not need this backup of older videos. It contains all photos/videos, that have been backed up in your vault, and have been removed, because they are no longer in your Aperture library. remove this vault only, if you do not want to keep this videos or have other backups of them.
See Frank Caggiano's answer here: Re: Folder labeled "Images Removed from Aperture Vault #1"
But I am puzzled: Why are these vaults on your iMac? Are they on your system drive or on a second internal drive? Vaults are best kept on a drive different from the drive where the library is kept. Otherwise they will be of no use, if the drive should fail and needs to be restored.

Images removed from Vault

When I update the Vault a separate folder in the same location gets populated with various images under the folder name "Images removed from Vault". Is there a need to retain this folder? Otherwise it seems to be a waste of space.

I wouldn't be surprised
But I want to clarify a point. Isn't "Deleting from Library" = "Deleting from Vault"? My understanding is that if you delete a Master from the Library, when you update that Library's Vault, the Master in the Vault is moved out of the Vault and placed in the "Removed from Vault" folder. In other words, there really isn't an interim user's step "Delete from Vault" other than just "Update Vault". No?

Images removed from Aperture 2010

1. On the hard drive upon which my vaults are stored, getting a directory called "Images removed from Aperture [name of vault]." Any ideas please as I've only just noticed these on a pretty organised system.
2. My Aperture has always been slow, crashes several times a day even though it was bought new in Jan 2010 and is just back from the Genius bar and still doing the same. Any ideas?
3. One of my largest libraries will no longer open. It was going through a repair and became stuck for a day so I closed it. Since then Aperture will no longer open via clicking on it in the Finder. It does have a vault (I'm guessing 95% up to date) associated with it, but I'm not sure if I should now go to the next step and open the Vault and restore from there (or however I do it).
4. How best to organise my libraries, eg have one for every month (take huge number of images of my boys and client shoots) or have one per year with projects of months within. I have then albums for the events under those months. I don't (yet) use Folders as haven't found a use for that extra level or organisation, but should I?
5. Is it ok to copy the contents of Show Package contents and use that to make an additional copy. I'd read that I could Show Package contents, then select all with "." a period, then select Kind.. Images and then just copy the contents to another directory. I'm thinking of this route given my unreliability of Aperture, original the trial then used the serial number to upgrade beyond trial.
6. Should I reinstall Aperture using the serial number or by disk? Haven't done that before, as it was an internet download.
Lots of Qs, my first post
thanks

These contains masters that were removed from the library between vault backup operations.

By Aperture you mean your computer system? Without more information it would be difficult to answer this. What did Apple say when you brought it in?
If you got Aperture in Jan 2010 you started with version 2 correct? What version are you running now?

Large libraries can take over a day to do repairs or updates. It's tough to wait but most times that's the best course of action. Have you tried to repair it again? If you can;t open it or repair it and you have a vault for it you might as well restore it. That's what the vault is for. If you decide to restore and have questions post back.

This is a huge topic and best addressed in a separate post. There are plenty of resources covering this topic both in this discussion group, in the Aperture users manual and on the web. Familiarize yourself with them and than post back with specific questions.

What your describing doesn't make sense from a systems standpoint. The most it would do, if it worked, is get out your image files and previews but in no way that Aperture could use unless you imported them. Even if it worked you would lose all your adjustments, keywords etc.
It's never a good idea to go into the Aperture library at the package level. The smallest misstep can have bad outcomes. If you ever need to copy the library you just need to drag the .aplibrary file.
6. Should I reinstall Aperture using the serial number or by disk? Haven't done that before, as it was an internet download.
As long as you have the serial number you can install from either.

It would be best if in future posts you tried to focus on a single issue. Long posts usually don't get the kind of response you would like as they can be hard for the reader to get through. Be specific and you're more likely to get multiple responses. You may want to take a look at [Help & Terms of Use|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa] to get some idea as to how these groups work.
Good luck and welcome to the list.

Images Removed from Vault Folder

So if I try to import any of those images in "Images Removed from Vault" with the box checked don't import duplicates, and I check each and every image and none show up in Import window then these must be duplicates and then safe to trash? Correct?

Yes it is a normal but unreported feature. When you run the vault command the vault created is a snapshot of the current state of the library. If there is a previous vault for this library then images that are in the vault but no longer in the library are moved to the folder you referred to.
If you are certain you do not want any of those images anymore you an delete them.

Floating images

I'm working with floating images that I want to stay put after I've positioned them.. when I do more edits to the previous page, the images are now all out of position relative to the text. If I make them inline images, I can't get them into the exact position I want to begin with. How do I position images precisely and then get them to stay relative to the text?

Thanks. I want the images to be to the left or right side of the page, with text wrapping around. I can't seem to position inline images that way. When I drag one to the side of the page, it pops back the center.

How do I create a floating image in thelayer panel?

I am watching Deke of Lynda.com in his one on one fundamental with cs5. He says to double-click on the background layer to create a floating image. it does not work for me. No matter what tool I have selected, when I double-click on the layer I simply being up the Layer Style dialogue box. I have googled this problem and done a search here but cannot find the answer to my problem. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

You already have a regular layer (floating layer) as others have noted.
A Background layer has a lock symbol and the name Background is italicized, but
regular layers can also be locked, however for regular layers that are locked, you can
just press the Forwardslash (key just to the right of the period key) to unlock those
as opposed to double clicking on a locked Background layer to make it a regular (floating) layer.

"Images Removed for Security Reasons"

Heya:
I'm new to Safari, just upgrading from an older OS9 Mac to a new one.
Can someone tell my why oh why I get e-mails from eBay or go to certain sites (including Apple) where images are removed with a big rectangle saying "images removed for security reasons"?????
In preferences I have show images checked....and I don't have anything weird in "security"....
or is this an e-mail problem?
any help would be appreciated....
Thanks!
iMac 5,1 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Who is your email provider? Some will screen images and not load them unless you tell them.

OK this is weird- like Gremlins weird- Images removed from vault

On the drive where my main A3 library lives- NOT on the drive where my vault lives- I just found an "Images removed from vault" folder. It's 36.55GB and contains images that I did not delete from my library. It gets weirder: those images are not gone from my library! The images dates range from 2007-2011. I haven't found a common denominator yet.
DLS

I had been having a great deal of trouble with my vault drive: sometimes it wouldn't mount, and updating the vault would hang when it did mount. The third cable I was tried finally gave me a stable mount, but it kept hanging at the same place updating the vault.
I ran repairs on both the the library and the vault drives and did all the trouble shooting on the library. Same thing. Finally, I wiped the vault drive and started over. The new vault was created without issue. (This is a 450GB vault on a 500GB drive- I know, I know)
I noticed the "gremlin" folder today after I copied over an old 1.56 library- that was unrelated to the images in question- to pull up some old client work. I don't remember seeing it there before, but it was dated the day before I resolved the vault issues.
@Nathan: It was at the same level as the library, and they were equivalent to masters: CRWs, CR2s and PSDs.

Folder labeled "Images Removed from Aperture Vault #1"

Hi all,
I was just looking at everything that's on the External Hard Drive on which I have my Aperture Vault. There's another folder on that EHD labeled "Images Removed from Aperture Vault #1." Noodling through that folder, it seems to be every master that I've deleted, broken down my year, month, and even day.
Is this normal behavior? Can I delete all those sub-folders, etc.? Should I keep the folder itself? Did I somehow set this up initally?
Anyhoo, thank you all for any suggestions.

Yes it is a normal but unreported feature. When you run the vault command the vault created is a snapshot of the current state of the library. If there is a previous vault for this library then images that are in the vault but no longer in the library are moved to the folder you referred to.

Thanking you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
