"fuzzy" type over image

I am running InDd CS4.
When I put type on top of an image, it looks crisp. But, if I apply an effect to that image (lower opacity, multiply, etc), they type gets rough around the edges.
Anyone know why this is? I think it only started happening recently.
Thanks!

Screen effect.
Does it print that way?
In any case, images with effects should be on a layer below the type to help prevent any output issues with type.

Can you place an image in a div tag and then add type over top of it?

I told someone in class lastweek that I wanted to be able to
place type over an image. They said you can just add the image into
the div tag as a background image, which will allow you to then
type over it if you like. How is this done? I have tried and
failed. I have an image that is 200x590 going down the left side of
my page. I want to run type over it, and keep the image consistent
on every page, but change the header and type. I've seen this in
several sites. How do you do this with the div tag box model method
of building a page. Can I insert an image into the div and then run
type over it. What does the code look like?

Here's an example of using a css and a background image to a
table cell...
sample principle for a div
#div {styles go here{

Large file size and fuzzy type

I'm new at using FCE2 and composed my first short 4 minute video. It includes a still image, a PSD layered file which I discovered was quite handy, a few clips and type using the type generator. I exported it to QuickTime movie. Three observations: I was floored by the nearly 1GB size, fuzzy type, and the file on the hard drive says it's a FCE movie inclusive of the little FCE icon by the file name. I was expecting to see a QuickTime icon with file name and the type of file is a QuickTime movie. Is all this normal? I'm very disappointed in the fuzzy type. Oh, also, the still image became blurry. Why?? Just so you know, the still image was a special file 640x480 with a pixel aspect ratio of D4/D16 Anamorphic
I saved the project under a new name and redid it taking out the Photoshop image, removing it from the bin also, and the new movie exported even larger, over a gig in size. Huh??

Thanks for the reply Tom. After I posted the first time I went to the Finder, Get Info, and I saw that I could change the 'Opens with' to QuickTime and therefore it became a QuickTime file. About that Anamorphic business I read a 'how to' on dealing with images before bringing them into video. The tip says in the 'New' file dialogue box to choose 640x480 size and in the pull down menu at the bottom where you can choose the 'Pixel Aspect Ratio' it was suggest to use that Anamorphic setting. I did it but it certainly didn't look right but I went with it.
Again after I posted I looked at the Format of one of the clips and saw the size to be 720x480, Compressor is DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, Pixel Aspect is NTSC-CCIR 601, Anamorphic field is blank. I'm running Photoshop CS2. So I went back there and created a new blank file to use a template for dealing with stills but this time I used the Preset pull down menu and chose NTSC DV 720x480 with guides and the Pixel Aspect Ratio automatically loaded D1/DV NTSC (0.9), clicked Ok and viola, the blank file looks exactly like the Canvas in FCE. I haven't played with a still with this new setting but I will try it on the little project I'm working on.
As for viewing it, I am looking at it on my Mac flat screen. I went into QuickTime Preferences and checked the box for high quality, thank you. Thanks for reassuring me on the file size.
I also don't know what "D4/D16 Anamorphic" means.
I don't understand the fuzzy type. I'm aware these are 72 ppi files and video is not resolution dependent but rather pixel dependent. Computer monitors display at 72 ppi, televisions are higher. I have yet to complete the process of burning a DVD and playing it back on a TV. Maybe that's where I'll see the type showing up sharper.
At any rate, just dealing with this itty bitty project tells me I have a lot to learn about video, never mind learning about how to use FCE as well.

Insert shape over image in table cell

Want to use circles, ovals, lines with arrows to point to some part (text or image) of a cell in a table.
Need to emphasize certain areas of graphics in a document used as a step by step type document.
If I add the shape outside the table and then try to drag/drop on to the image in the cell, the entire cell jumps to a new empty cell.
Can nod get image to appear over the image in the table cell.

Hello,
do you think about this, please have a look here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7b86a .html.
Another way, to add text over an image uses Nancy O.'s Demo here (I would prefer by using PS or similar):

Roll over images not appearing in a preview

I've created a new project and have had had previous success in making roll over images/captions work but now nothing in this new project is appearing when I preview the slide, not the images or the roll over captions. I'm using Captivate 6.
Sorry if i'm not explaining it properly but I've only started using the program this week and have no idea about any of it.
cheers
Emma

Hi Emma
I note you said: Preview the *SLIDE*. And in that type of preview, all you will ever be able to do is to view when objects appear or disappear or move. Interactive objects such as rollovers will never work in the slide preview. You must preview a different way. (Project, Next X number of slides, From this slide, etc)

1) Drop Down Menu 2) Roll Over Images & 3)

Does anyone know away to make these things possible on iWeb (or if it is not even possible)
1)
I'd like to have a drop down menu so that my sites are not so cluttered.
Here is an example:
http://www.drsteinhealing.com/doctor/chiropractor/2L/Encino/homepage.htm
2)
I have seen rollover images in flash, but I hear that it is possible without flash and I think it would be great to have some pictures as such for the menu. I would think this would be possible because right now there is a rollover color change to words that are links if you want it to change colors... so:
a) is flash possible on iWeb
b) even if it is not: is there a way to have rollover images and
c) can there be roll over images that are also links?
Here is an example:
http://planetrobyn.com/ (the pictures go from black and white to color and then they are also the menu)
I'm learning so it would be great to see if these things are possible. Thank you.

See these menus.The menus are HTML and CSS only.
http://www.wyodor.net/Demo/iWebeend.html
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/tmf/Duckmenu.html
The first menu has the menu hardcode in the published webpage.
Check the source to see how it's done.
The second menu has a textbox at the top of the page. A JavaScript in the HTML Snippet finds that textbox and place the menu in it.
This is pasted in the HTML Snippet :
<script src="../../../duckmenu/duckmenu.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
This JavaScript places the menu in the textbox :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/duckmenu/duckmenu.js
The menu at drsteinhealing is HTML/CSS only too. So if you like it, grab the code + stylesheet and use it.

Bevel button and fuzzy type

I made a button and put a simple bevel filter on it.
When I added type to the button the text bleeds into the
filter. How can I stop/fix this?

Endless fuzzy type issue

I still am having trouble with fuzzy type SOMETIMES after 3
YEARS of screwing around with that kind of thing. Generally I can
fix it by "break apart" or next frame F7 and type the same thing
all over again, but dont always want to do that. copy/paste is no
fix either. These are buttons or type that is good on the first
frame, but then inexplicably the next frame is different. I have
always put my type on whole number coordinates. I use static text.
In case you want to see,
http://www.stevez.biz/foto_fun/salvage/qc.html
page 3 or 4 this starts to happen with "next" & "back"
BUTTONS this time.
Makes me afraid to try something new or even use words!
Thanks anyone
Flash 7 mac osx.4.10

device fonts are 'standard' fonts that are available in most
browsers, this way the font doesn't have to be brought with, taking
up space in the file. so I would say to use a different font that
you like (non-device), it won't take up to much space, and since
you fields are static you don't even need to 'embed' and the font
will be rendered upon publishing. using 'anti-alias for
readability' the font should look sharp all through the dock.
The problem probably has something to do with the internal
font rendering scripts, and I've heard of some other problems with
this before.

How can I type over existing text on a web page?

I would like to be able to type over existing text on a web page. This can be done by hitting the "insert" key in several applications; however, it does not work in Firefox.
I'm running Firefox 31.0 and Windows 7.

Unfortunately that is not possible in Firefox.
The insert key is not supported (i.e. Firefox is always in insert mode), so you will have to delete the old text and type the new text.

SQL types over PLSQL types while using Oracle Applications adapter in BPEL

Use SQL types over PL/SQL types while using Oracle Applications adapter
in BPEL/ ESB
This document will be focusing on Oracle Applications adapter. However Database adapter is much like OA adapter (even OA adapter uses DB Adapter), so the readers who are interested to explore DB adapters, can relate things with this document and go further as well.
Some Guidelines for writing PL/SQL APIs for OA Adapter
As we know when we create a partner link from the OA adapter wizard it sometimes writes some wrapper script supportive to the OA Adapter WSDL which contains below
* Object type for PL/SQL RECORD
* Nested table of the given type for PL/SQL TABLE. For example, the nested table of NUMBER.
* INTEGER substituted for PL/SQL BOOLEAN
* Wrapper Script for converting above three set of data types . (PLSQL to SQL and SQL to PLSQL conversion functions)
In runtime this wrapper script for converting PL/SQL to SQL and SQL to PL/SQL is an extra overhead.
So the first advice would be to avoid the use of the below as parameters of PLSQL API being called by OA Adapter.
* PL/SQL RECORD
* PL/SQL TABLE. For example, the nested table of NUMBER.
* PL/SQL BOOLEAN
In other way we can say we should try to use only SQL data types in arguments if we are planning to call any PL/SQL API from the OA Adapter.
If the requirement is to use a table or record uses the Object type. In place of BOOLEAN better to use VARCHAR or INTEGER what ever fulfills your requirement. Following this guideline we can reduce a huge number of Line of codes to be run each time the adapter being called.
Generally, Oracle E-Biz standard APIs use PL/SQL record types and table types so when there is a requirement to call these API’s from OA Adapter (this is a common requirement in development), and if we directly browse the API in OA Adapter Configuration Wizard and create the partner link, again a huge number of code is written by the wizard in the wrapper script (a number of extra mapping of fields which are not being used in the interface).
In this case better would be to create an Object type with only the required fields which are being used in that call and use them as parameters for the PLSQL API.

File Path Visible When I Hover Over Images

Hi,
I converted a PowerPoint document to a PDF. The PowerPoint document includes images (GIF, JPEG). When I hover my cursor over the image in the PDF I created I can see the file path C:\User\User Name\Photo\File Name.JPG.
Is there a setting in the PDF that I can 'unselect' so I don't see the file path when I hover over images?
Thanks,

I'm sorry to tell you that the first thing you need to do is
to get rid of
the method you have used. It's quite antique, and was
designed for framed
pages. It adds quite a bit of additional code (some of which
is invalid) to
your page than would the alternative of using just ordinary
image swaps for
your menu.
So, just create your menu from the up images in each row, and
use DW's Swap
image behavior on each.
And put some duct tape over this NavBar option so that you
don't use it
again!

Setting the order of a roll over image in a quiz

Hi,
I'm using captivate 4 and having issues in setting a quiz for my students.
I want to have an icon to roll-over so the students can access information relating to the question, eg, diagrams, tables, graphs etc.
I have done all this yet when the roll over image appears its order is set behind the question and answers, I need it in front. when trying to change the order, eg bring to front, all the options are grayed out and not available. Is there a way to fix this as I know I cannot use a slidelet in a question slide.
I have also tried to re-order the question and answer text, but is is also grayed out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Andrew

Hello,
You cannot insert interactive objects on any default question slide from pool or not. You will have to change the action to be executed on Success/Failure. There it is possible to jump to a slide.
Beware: you can never jump to a slide that is outside of the quiz 'scope'. This scope starts with the slide where you have the first scoreable object, which can be a question slide but also a button/click box/TEB with a score. The scope typically ends with the score slide. So be sure that the slide you want to jump to are in that scope. Eventually you can add a scoreable object (with a low score perhaps of 1pt) like a button or click box to the first slide of your project. If you keep the score slide as the last slide you will not have to worry anymore about the scope.
Hope this makes sense,
Lilybiri

Lines over images and around text in Captivate SWF file

My project works & views fine in captivate and when published, it views fine on my mac - through flash player and browsers. But when I send a swf file to the client to view they see odd lines above and below images.
But they dont see the lines when they view the htm file within a browser - then it views fine.
The lines only appear when there's text over an image.
Screen shots attached.
My captivate project was created by importing a Powerpoint document, with images and text on each slide.
I've changed the optimisation / slide quality through prefrences and on each slide to the highest quality.
I've also un-selected the advanced slide compression.
Is there another thing I can try to iron out these lines?
Some of the images within Powerpoint are stretched, would this cause the lines?
Is it a flash player issue?
Or a zooming issue?
Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks Lilybiri,
I am a new user & just finding my way
I understand how to publish and how Captivate creates a zipped file with a SWF, HTML, JS and CSS files etc. (Im using Captivate 7).
How do you send Captivate projects to clients for review / approval before you supply them with the whole project zipped file?
So far I've been sending them the swf file to check. And have had troubles with them viewing the lines over images and around text. Even though I cant see the lines.
I need the client to see what I'm seeing - a project without any lines.

Embedding letterhead in email with ability to type over in same space

ok i am a print media designer. I am absolutely green in dreamweaver but wish to learn. I am trying to figure out how to embed a client's letterhead into all of her outgoing emails to clients as a background. She needs to have the ability to type over it. My limited "google-ing" research has shown that either Dreamweaver or Outlook work best for this. I have Dreamweaver CS4 so i figured i would give it a shot. Like i said i am a beginner so if anyone feels like taking me under their wing and talking me through this i would GREATLY appreciate it!

well i do not use outlook. If i get on there to do this is it self explanitory? do you have any links to
any helpful tutorials? Thanks!
