FLVplayer question: preview or opening image??

I hope I am placing this question in the right forum. I have searched everywhere trying to find the answer...
I am using Dreamweaver CS4 to insert a FLV video into a web page. Dreamweaver automatically uses FLVPlayer as the flash player. All is working beautifully except that when I first visit my web page, the video area is just a black screen. I would like to put a preview image there instead. Other players just seem to usually have a parameter that you set like "image=" and you point to the .jpg or whatever, but I can't get that to work here.
Please help - I can't believe I am having this much trouble, and this must be a super simple answer.
The URL if that would help is http://ilovestraightteeth.webscapersites.com/treatments/incognito-braces.shtml
Thanks.

Thank you for the quick reply. I should have mentioned that I am totally and utterly brand new to flash and videos. I do apologize for probably sounding kinda dumb...
You said I should google flash <my actionscript version> poster image. How do I know what actionscript version? Am I even using action script?
Here is exactly what I'm trying to do. I had a video on DVD. I converted it from the DVD to .flv. I need to insert this video into my client's site. Dreamweaver was so helpful in that all I had to do was hit insert-FLV and voila, it had a player all built in with skins and all. Works perfectly, couldn't be easier - except that it shows the black box instead of a friendly image.
I'd used another flash player once and I recall that there was a variable in the code that you just set a preview image, so that's why I thought I could just do that here too...
For what it's worth, I did then Google flash poster image (minus "actionscript") -- but it's still not giving me the info that I think I need.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

Sandboxd prevents preview from opening images

The sanboxd is preventing me from opening some, but not all, images with preview.
The system.log shows:

I have recently migrated from a macbook with 10.6 to a macbook air with 10.7. I used migration assistant via wifi.
The problem arises both on newly downloaded images as well as images that were transferred via migration assistant.
The file permission is 755, and File->View permissions looks perfectly fine.
Any idea what is causing this and how to I prevent this from happening again?

Hi Linc,
thank you for the suggestion, but unfortunately it did not help. For the top directory, and all subsequent directories, I have read&write (755) permissions, as well as for the files that i can not open.
This appears to happen randomly. Some directories are affected, some are not, and it appears to happen to all files in certain directories.
Interestingly, if I control-click and select e.g. Explorer, I can view the image. Also, if I copy the file to my Desktop, I can also view the image. So it only happens to Preview in certain directories.

How to open image added to Pages doc in Preview app?

Hello,
Anyone know hot to open images added to Pages in preview app on Mac? When I click on any image with right mouse button I have in menu these options - "Open in Pixelmator and Capture selection from screen".
I tried to make my own Automator service "Open img in Preview" and it work well in Finder and other apps (I selected it in Automator option to work in all apps) but this service is not show in Pages > Services.
Anyone know how to fix it or how to make this service visible in Pages? I tried to found "Open in Pixelmator" workflow on my Mac to rewriting or save my "Open img in Preview" workflof into same folder but no chance. In (Library > Services etc)
Thank you for you kind, sorry for my English
Jan.S

I don't know how Pixelmator created their Service, but I suspect it involves programming that is beyond my abilities.
The following AppleScript will copy the selection in Pages and open a new preview window from the clipboard. It could be run as a Service with Automator. (It will also leave the image on the clipboard; if that is a problem, it could probably be modified, but I didn't get that sophisticated with it.)
tell application "System Events"
          tell process "Pages"
                    set frontmost to true
click menu item "Copy" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Edit" of menu bar 1
          end tell
          tell process "Preview"
                    set frontmost to true
                    click menu item "New from Clipboard" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
          end tell
end tell

Applescript to add open images in Preview into iPhoto?

I've got an eyefi card in my digital camera that sends my pics directly to a folder on my laptop in which a folder action runs that automatically opens the image in preview. What I'd like to do next is to close the images I don't want, and then run an applescript that will take the remaining open images in Preview and import them into iPhoto.
I guess if I were to do it manually, I would drag the proxy icon of each window into iPhoto? But that would create several separate events in iPhoto since it would import them one at a time. It would be ideal if there was a way for Applescript to locate the open images in finder, and then import all of those images into iPhoto all at once. Is this possible? If so, any tips on how to get started with that? I'm a newb to Applescript, so be gentle.

It sounds like you've been doing the search in the menubar Spotlight field. If so, here are two things to try:
One, when you have located the image you think you want to open, hit Command-Return, which will open (in a new Finder window) the folder in which the image file is located, even if it is inside your iPhoto library. The default application for opening the image then should be Preview (it is for me).
Two, select "Show All" at the top of the results, which opens a Finder search window. An image file in the resulting list, even if it is inside the iPhoto package, will open by default in Preview (That's what it does for me.)
Hope this helps.

Image preview in Open dialog window (Photoshop CS6)

Hi
We had a possibility to see images preview in Open File dialog window of Photoshop CS5 but in new CS6 version there is not such possibility. Should I forget about that nice option and use Mini Bridge?

I'm not so sure it was on purpose or not Noel. Especially since it's still there in Illustrator and Indesign. If it weren't for it being in those, I might think it was intentional. Then again, it could very well be Adobe trying really hard to push MiniBridge, which is almost utterly useless. I think they actually made the minibridge WORSE as well. The sizing issues of the thumbnails on that are a pain and minibridge is just plain cumbersome to run. Anyways, besides my many qualms with minibridge itself, and back on the open dialog box thing...I actually watched a youtube video pointing out the same codecs you're talking about and without the PSD functionality, it's pretty useless. I'm a graphic designer, so I don't really use PS for camera image editing and don't mess with those files that the codec helps with. Even if it did, that still isn't very helpful to me. Because at that point, you're pretty much just doing what Bridge/MIniBridge does. However, consider how I, and many other designers in the print field work: At any given point we might have something like 3 different versions of a file; a PSD (with layers to edit), a JPEG (to send to the customer for proofing), and a PDF (for printing). Now, within that customer folder I might have 50+ files of different jobs. Imagine trying to sift through all those thumbnails, scrolling across window upon window, and when you get to the file you're finally looking for, you click it open to just to see that you opened the jpeg instead of the PSD. Now, in LIST view, I can see many more files on one screen and each file type is represented by an icon. So I know the blue icons are Photoshop icons and it's very easy to skim through there and know exactly which file type I'm looking for without peering at extensions. Get what I'm saying? Not that I don't appreciate you trying to help. Just saying, unless any codec can bring back the preview screen....than I don't see a workaround until Adobe flat out FIXES IT. I'm one of those guys that loves to get the newest thing and give it time to work, but if they don't fix it, I might have to call up Adobe and demand a downgrade on my Photoshop to 5.5, cause it really slows my workflow when I have hundreds of files to keep up with, and any new feature in PS CS6 that might have sped up my work is offset by not being able to do such a remedial task as preview my files before opening them.

When I have resized and saved an image in Photoshop (CS, version 8.0 for Mac) using image size, why is it so large when I open it in preview or another image viewer? Has it actually saved according to the size I specified?

You want to view the image at the Print Size, which represents the size that shows in the Image>Resize Dialog.
View>Print Size
Since screen resolution is almost always lower that the print resolution (somewhere between 72 and 96 usually), images will always look bigger on the screen, unless you view them at print size.
(apple Retina displays have a much higher resolution than normal screens, closer to the average print size resolution)

Preview opens images out of order

When I use preview to open a group of images in a folder it places them in the drawer in a stranger order and i want them to be organized by file name how can i do this? (they are organized in the folder by their file name and I am simply selecting all of them and opening them)

Preview freezes when trying to open images - other programs have no trouble

Preview freezes when trying to open images - other programs have no trouble with the same file. This problem is somewhat intermittent.
I have replaced the Preview application by moving a copy from another equivalent machine - no luck.
Did not find any preferences file trash, though I looked.
Is there one?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Edwin,
The .plist for Preview should be located @ ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist (where "~" is your Home folder).
Trash the file, logout/login or reboot your computer and try opening the app and opening the offending file again.
Let us know if any luck with finding the .plist there and opening your file?

How do stop PREVIEW from auto-opening images?

I'm scanning all my old slides. And every time I finish a scan, Preview automatically opens the pic.
I have Preview as my jpg default, which I would like to keep (not Photoshop, etc).
But I'd like Preview to NOT auto-open these files once they're created.
Any ideas?
tia

Not sure what printer or scanning software you are using, but if you open and use Image Capture in your App Folder you can direct the Scan To: any number of Folders, Apps or Desktop.

Open image capture question

I am having trouble using the detect separate items feature in the Apple open image capture feature. Instead of separating the scans, it just does one big scan. Is anybody else having this problem? If it works for you, what type of scanner do you use?

Have you tried VueScan? It works well with several scanners. I would give it a shot. I have an old UMAX scanner that has no driver available for Mac OS X and VueScan made it work.

Here is the link to the latest Cannon driver. Looks kind of old.

How do I make image icons in finder window previews of the image?

The image icons in my finder window are just generic jpeg icons (they are set to open automatically in Preview). How do I make them previews of the images themselves? When I "get info" on the icon, there is a very nice preview of the image - I would like to see the same quality preview in the icons themselves.
Thank you very much for your help.

Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi Sam,
From your Finder "View" menu (without a Finder window open) >> "Show view options" >> do you have "show icon preview" check marked? And with the Finder window open "show icons" and "show preview icons" checkmarked?
EDIT: I may have misunderstood your question. If you're talking about the small file icons, not in the preview frame if you have PhotoShop it should do it with a save as PS file. Otherwise you may be able to paste the image but I'm not sure.

PsE 8 Mac, ACR 5.7, no "Open Image" button in ACR?

A forum search was unproductive, so I apologize if this question has an obvious answer.
I've been a user of the full version of Photoshop for many years. Now I find myself temporarily using PsElements 8 and ACR 5.7 on someone else's iMac.
After editing an image in ACR from Bridge CS4 (the one that comes with PsElements), I don't see an "Open Image" button in ACR. How do I open the image in PsElements 8?
Puzzled. Is this a sign that ACR is not installed properly?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply, Barbara.
I am fully familiar with the full version of ACR that comes with the real Photoshop. That's what I use at home on my desktop machine.
It's the PsElements version that I know nothing about.
The last paragraph of your post may hold a clue, but there's more to the issue I'm seeing here. As you well know, the Mac version does not come with the Organizer, but with Bridge CS4. I followed the PsElements-specific instructions for the ACR 5.7 download, as follows:
To install with Adobe Photoshop Elements 8:
NOTE: You must follow all of the new instructions in order to
successfully install the Camera Raw Plug-in for Photoshop Elements
1. Exit Photoshop Elements and Adobe Bridge
2. Open the download file and double-click CameraProfiles.dmg and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Navigate to the root of the local disk (not the user's home folder).
4. Navigate to: (Please read directory carefully)
Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 8/Plug-Ins/FileFormats/
5. Copy the existing plug-in to another location (for example, a new
folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need
to revert back.
6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw, from the download into the same folder as in Step 4, and overwrite the exiting file.
7. Launch Photoshop Elements or Adobe Bridge.
That works fine for PsE 8 but does not let Bridge see, preview or open RAW files. I had to go ouside the instructions and put another, additional copy of the ACR plug-in either in ./ Library/ Application Support/ Adobe/ Plug-ins/ CS4/ File Formats/ Camera Raw.plugin or, alternatively, in ./ Applications/ Adobe Bridge CS4/ Plug-Ins/ , otherwise Bridge shows me only generic icons for the raw files.
The
Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 8/Plug-Ins/FileFormats/
location does work as advertised for PsE, regardless.
My guess is I should uninstall PsE and Bridge, re-install both and then update to ACR 5.7.
If that still doesn't work, I'll see if there is a PsE version 9 for the Mac. The computer owner barely uses PsE as it is and does not want to mess with the full version of the real Photoshop.
Personally, I'll be happy to go back home on Monday and forget this ordeal with PsE. :-/
With the above instructions—taken from the Download page—there is no way to see thumbnails and/or previews of raw file in the Bridge provided with PsE. Adobe has definitely gone down the tubes—and I know you're not Adobe.
Barbara B. wrote:
…Basically in bridge acr, you use the save button to save in the format of your choice and then open that file into PSE if you wish.
Wow! That is certainly NOT the case with ACR hosted by Bridge in the full version of the real Photoshop!
Thanks for the help. Much obliged.

Photoshop-When opening image without tab view, image opens with only a portion in view

I having an issue with CC.
When electing in the preferences to not open image in Tabs. The images open with only about 25% of the image area showing. Forcing me to (command) 0 for full to screen preview or (command) +/- to see the image.
I am not talking about seeing the image at 100% resolution just the entire image within the floating window without having to command before view.
Sidenote: Adobe Customer Service is all based in India. I spent 4 hours on the phone only to hear that this is that way photoshop works.
There would be no logical explanation for this. Since the first version of Photoshop this has not been the case.
I think this should be called view porn with wife in the room mode. Other than that I see no point.
Can anyone help?

How to open images in Fill Screen mode from Camera Raw

I am using Photoshop CS4 for Windows. I created an action that executes Fit on Screen and set the Scripts Event Manager to execute that action on the Open Document event. This works when opening a document from Photoshop.
Here are my questions:
1) After opening a raw image from Bridge in Camera Raw, when I then open the image in Photoshop, it does not run the Open Document event action to Fit on Screen. What event do I need to set the action to execute on when opening an image from Camera Raw in Photoshop?
2) I added Fit on Screen to the action by selecting Insert Menu Item from the Actions menu and then selecting View-Fit on Screen. I cannot find Fill Screen on any pull-down menu (the button found on the Hand tool bar). How can I insert the Fill Screen item (which fills the screen a little more than Fit on Screen?
3) In the Scripts Events Manager, when you select Add an Event, it says Any scriptable event can be entered here. See the Scripting Reference for the full list of Photoshop event names.. On the following Adobe webpage, I found the Adobe Photoshop CS4 Scripting Guide but I did not find a list of Photoshop event names in that document. Where can I find the list of Photoshop event names?

Preview Printing Negative Images - White text and lines on black background

Desperate for help here. After upgrading to Tiger, I have more instances when Preview displays a PDF correctly but prints certain pages with images, such as graphs and technical figures, as negatives, that is, white text and line art on a black background. Is there any way I can fix this? Any advice would be most appreciated.

I was trying to scan from a Lexmark X5250 into Preview so that I could fax a signed document to a company.
When I chose "To be faxed", with Preview TIFF program under 10.4.6 (combo) (PPC), the document appeares in Preview as a white-on-black (negative) in Preview's open window.
A work-around seems to be that one selects "To be printed", then prints from Preview, then selects (in the lower-left corner drop-down-menu) "Fax PDF". (Unfortunately, the modem still won't hang-up properly -- is this because of my ADSL filter on the fax phone-line? ).
