From PSD Images to HTML Prototype

I am current with CS3; however, I must have missed one of the
"functional improvements." For years, I've spliced and exported
web-happy images with an HTML page good enough to start re-working
things... all in Adobe's ImageReady. With CS3, this workflow
doesn't really work anymore. They've changed the splicing and the
exporting... and I can't find my happy workflow anymore.
I tried something else I found on the Adobe website (with
exporting slices and HTML pages), but it wasn't as good as
ImageReady was (not even as good as ImageReady was 5 years ago!).
Instead of continuing to fight CS3, I'm asking for help here.
Is there a new tool/functionality that suddenly works better than
ImageReady? I've tried slicing in PhotoShop CS3 and I'm not happy
with the results. It's inefficient. I'm obviously missing a
critical feature of the new CS3. I just don't know what it is.
I appreciate the insight. Thanks!

Fireworks is the application to use. It is different than PS
or IR, but
I have always found the workflow to be
better/smoother/faster.
Understand that you will need to invest some time in learning
the app if
you've not used it before.

  • Prevent iPhone Mail from loading images in HTML e-mails

    Hello there!
    Is it possible to prevent iPhone Mail from loading images in e-mails?
    If yes, where can I change those settings?
    Cheers,
    Thomas

    Ian, thanks for your quick reply.
    I just hope Apple is going to build this feature into one of the next firmware updates, since from my point of view this is not only a security concern, but could turn out quite expensive if you are on a bad price plan.

  • Image Processor CS4 Cannot batch process from psd to jpg ERROR MSG

    I have been receiving the error message "Sorry, I could not processes the following files:" when ever I try to change DNG or PSD files to jpg in camera raw.  It does not matter if I try this with one file or 100. I am running CS4 on a Mac OSX 10.5.8.  I have enough memory, have cleared trash, purged cache....I don't know what to do to make this run correctly.  Please help!

    Thank you for responding and yes, I would be more than happy to elaborate.
    In Bridge I normally change my images from psd or dng using the following steps:
    Tools
    Photoshop
    Image Processor
    change to jpg with a quality of 10
    This has always worked in the past on CS3 and worked a few times once I upgraded to CS4.
    I can do one image or a number of images.  I started receiving the error message stated above
    when doing these steps.
    I have purged Bridge cache, have memory on system...startup disks are not full.
    I cannot figure out why I keep getting this message or how to fix it.
    Any and all help is much appreciated!!!

  • Text layers from PSD is converted as images when imported to Muse

    I want to import text layers from PSD files into Muse as text and not as images. Currently when I insert the text layers, they are converted into images. Is there a way to do this?

    Hi Jeffree, I have lot of content in my page and I need the same exact position of the text in my page. I am trying to automate it so that I can avoid copy paste error. Is there a way to make the psd text layer import to export as text in MUSE?
    Appreciate your help.

  • Newbie: Change PSD image pulled from an existing website via DW (CS4)

    I need to make a minor change to an image created in photoshop.
    The image is from a website I took over from another designer and downloaded to Dreamweaver, and I successfully uploaded the image to Photoshop. However, since the image (in this case, the website header) is flattened, the only way I know to make the update I need is to create a "patch" for the part I need changed and try to match the font, color, and other elements.
    Since I did not create the original file I do not have the layered version.
    I have a number of sites to update with the same challenge. Is there an alternative to either creating the patch or having to reconstruct the PSD image from scratch?
    Thanks in advance for any advice -
    KE

    I would rebuild the file.

  • Photo/Edit-In CS6. psd image does not show in LR after save/close.

    Whenever I edit (a copy) of an image in Photoshop CS6 from Lightroom 4.3 (Photo/Edit-In), after I save and close the image in CS6 the new psd image does not show in Lightroom. In order to see the image in Lightroom, I need to close Lightroom and then reopen Lightroom. It is almost like Lightroom needs to "refresh". Does anyone have a solution that does not require me to close Lightroom? I have tried to use View/Sort by extension, filename, edit time, etc. with no effect.

    This should not be so. I'm assuming that you do a <save> in CS6 - as opposed to <save as>. Only with <save> the image file will automatically be imported in Lr while <save as> creates a new file that Lr "knows" nothing about until you import it (for instance via "Synchronize folder").
    If the behavior you describe follows a <save> in CS6 it is not normal.
    This could be due to a corrupt Preference File. This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File.
    BTW: Re-installing Lr does not replace the Pref. File since it is designed to "survive" upgrades.
    See here for where to find the Preference file for your OS: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroo m-4.html

  • Dreamweaver Hotspots fracturing PSD images

    I have a PSD image I want to publish in Dreamweaver CS3. I
    can make a hotspot in DW, but after hitting "enter", it sort of
    fractures the image template. That is, pieces of the image become
    not aligned and it looks really bad. Is there a way to do this in
    DW without putting the PSD back thru PS and slicing it again?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    The truth of the matter is that any HTML written by a
    graphics application
    (whether it be PS, or FW, or whatever), is only useful for
    prototyping work.
    It is just not robust enough for use on the web.
    If you give us a link to your page, so we can examine its
    code, the issues
    there will be easy to spot.
    What this means for you is that if you are serious about
    using DW for web
    development, you will have to become much more capable with
    HTML and CSS. A
    good place to start is here -

  • Re: [iPlanet-JATO] Tomcat 3.2 serving images and html?

    First of all David you are faster responding to email than I am. Thanks.
    We tried your scheme with no luck. You are using "ROOT" as your war file
    name ROOT, correct? Are you sure the jsp would reference
    "/images/MyProject/nppnback.gif"? Why is "MyProject" in there? Where is
    the directory "images" defined to Tomcat? Is it a default?
    Here's another try at explaining:
    In my JSP I have;

    My application is in webapps/EformsAppWar
    (jsps in EformsAppWar/EformsApp/eforms/*.jsp)
    (classes in EformsAppWar/WEB-INF/classes)
    so images are in webapps/EformsAppWar/images
    and there is, indeed a ef.gif there.
    However with no server.xml changes (everything default), Tomcat 3.2
    gives a 404 in his log and states in the 404 message that context is
    null (CTX < >) and ca't find /images/ef.gif + NULL.

  • Display image in html mail

    I was recently sent an email that used an HTML stationery wih several photos embedded in it.  The email opens normally, but all of the images are icons, displaying file name and size.  If I click the icon, the image opens correcly in a separate window. 
    I am running OS X 10.7.3 and Mail 5.2 (1257) and have checked "display remote images in html email" in preferences.  A friend with identical software versions receives the same email and the photos are visible in the original email. Suggestions?

    No-one replied, but I found a solution on another board. Run Terminal (do a Spotlight search if you don't know where to find this), and type: (or copy and past the next line)
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool false
    This will force Mail not to disable inline attachment viewing. Obviously, to reverse this, simple replace 'false' at the end with 'true'.

  • How to add layers from different images?

    I would like to use layers from several images in a single image. The idea is to give an x-ray view so that you can see images of different views of an object by selecting the opacity of the various layers. It would be similar to an image of the anatomy of a hand: you could see just the skin, or just the bones, or see the bones through the skin. Is this possible, and if so, how?

    Here is a loink on how you can copy image as a layer from several images to single image - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshopelements/using/WS287f927bd30d4b1f-f216bde12e28ad1224- 7fee.html#WS287f927bd30d4b1f-f216bde12e28ad1224-7feb

  • Referencing a "locally installed" Java applet from a server-based HTML page

    How does one reference a "locally installed" Java applet from a server-based HTML page (i.e. via the applet, object, or embed tags)? I have seen references in documentation that this is possible, but I have not seen any examples. I have tried a few things, but nothing seems to be working.
    Some background...
    I'm working on a web site that aggregates Internet video. For many users, I would like the site to work "without" requiring Java to be installed (or any prompts, etc.). This version of the site allows users to stream videos directly over the Internet and does not require any sort of access to the local system.
    However, in addition, I have a download manager that can be installed on the local system. Currently, it's a Windows-based "service" that is always running in the background, downloading files, etc. (with plans to later support other OSes).
    My dilemma is trying to communicate between my web site running in the local browser (executing JavaScript code) and the download manager. I call this component the "gateway". I need the gateway to be able to do the following:
    1) Pass user credentials from the web browser UI to the download manager (so it can communicate with my servers).
    2) Check the status of downloaded videos
    3) Launch a local media player (such as Windows Media, QuickTime, etc.) (or perhaps tell the download manager to launch the media player).
    Under Windows XP, I have an ActiveX control that can do these things. It communicates with the download manager via reading/writing to a shared XML configuration file.
    Unfortunately, under Vista and IE7 Protected Mode, ActiveX controls have become very restricted and my gateway no longer works. As such, I am looking at using Java for the gateway (also giving me the additional benefits of supporting additional browsers and OSes).
    From my understanding, I believe I can created a "face-less" Java applet, whose methods can be called from JavaScript. Ideally, I'm thinking I could install the applet onto the local system at the same time the download manager is installed. This would give the applet the security permissions it needs to communicate with the download manager.
    Thanks for any help and suggestions!

    Hi,
    Put the .jar file and the .class file in the path mentioned in one of the aliases in the plsql.conf file like /images or create
    a seperate directory and create an alias like /applets "path" in the plsql.conf file.
    <html>
    <body>
    <applet code=com.chartapplet.chart.BarChartApplet
    codebase=/applets/
    archive=/applets/chart.jar width=300 height=200>
    <param name=background value="white">
    </body>

    Hope this helps.

  • Creating a dropdown menu from an image hotspot

    How do you create a dropdown menu from an image hotspot? For
    example, this website is a single jpg image with links generated
    from hotspot coordinates on the image. Can I have someone click on
    a hotspot and a dropdown menu appears?
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Unfortunately, everyone knows, but nobody wanted to tell you.
    Given this fact -
    > this website is a single jpg image with links generated
    from hotspot
    > coordinates on the image.
    one can assume that you are not very experienced with DW or
    even with HTML.
    In that case, the practical answer to your question would be
    "no".
    To create a 'drop-down' menu, you need to have a full web
    page (not just an
    image with image maps), containing a menu HTML structural
    element. While
    you *could* just place hidden elements on the page that would
    only be
    revealed (i.e., drop-down) when your image maps are rolled
    over, the
    practical reality is that this would be an extremely awkward
    construct, and
    not only most likely beyond the ken of someone who is
    inexperienced, but
    also just plain 'not right'.

  • How to remove "Blue filter" from multiple images in the History Panel

    I am using Lightroom 4.3 on Windows 7 pc.  I have a collection with approximately 650 images.  I was working in the collection and had all the images selected.  Somehow I inadvertently must have hit a keyboard shortcut that effected all the images.  All of the images are negatively effected and they now look terrible.  When I go to the History Panel, all the images have "blue filter" as their most recent entry.  If I select one image and go back to the step before the "blue filter" everything looks fine  again.  My problem is I have this effect in 650 images.  When I try and do the change in one image and then synch to the rest, I don't know what box to check to remove this "blue filter" that has been added to all the images.  I know I can do them one by one, but with 650 images, it's a long and tedious process.  Any way I can remove the "blue filter" from multiple images in a collection?
    Thanks,
    Matthew Kraus

    If you’ve just done it, then an Undo operation would reverse things on all the images, I think.  But if it took you a while to see the problem, then you might have done something to cancel the undoability.
    Isn’t Blue Filter a built in LR preset that modifies the HSL settings:  http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/924/cpsid_92473.html
    Open the HSL panel and step back into History on one of the affected images so the effect of the Blue Filter preset has been undone and notice what HSL sliders change, and then if the 650 images DON’T already have any HSL adjustments you should be able to sync JUST the pre-Blue-Filter HSL adjustments (perhaps all zeros) to the other 650 images.

    Hi Kavipriya,
    i have gone thru all your threads on a similar sort of issue which i am facing now, However i m bit struck as i m newbie.
    Issue:i am insering a static picture from the c drive into the header section of the rtf template and when previewing the rtf template on the BI publisher the jpg image disappears. i have tried adding the url into the format picture -->alt tab.Still no signs of improvement.
