Ghost images of buttons after background edit

After modifying the background of a demo, I still get an image of the buttons in their original location. Here's what I did:
I recorded a demo of a website, where one of the steps is to click on a button. After recording the demo, I changed all of the backgrounds; specifically, I moved the background image (and all of the animations/controls) up about 20px. Everything *works* fine, except when it gets to the part on the slide where you click the button, a horizontal strip of the background in its old position appears. It's the same height as the button, and appears where the button used to be. I moved the button object, but to no avail. I've looked at all of the layers of the slide and it doesn't appear to be in any of the layers.
What I THINK is happening is when you click a button, Captivate records that little animation (the depression of the button). But rather than recording the whole screen, it just records a horizontal strip as tall as the button is to optimize the size. However, I can't find that animation anywhere in the project. Any ideas?
(I found a work around of pasting the background as an image and making it the bottom layer which hides the ghost button, but can't figure out why that works)

Hi there
Did you try the steps outlined in the article?
If not, perhaps you should.
Cheers... Rick

Help, ghost image appearing in composition background

Hello
I have an issue of a ghost image appearing in the composition background. I can't figure out how it got there or how to remove it. It's really annoyong as the image also appears in rendered videos.
This only seems to appear when my composition settings is set at 1024 x 576 px, which I must use for projects. If I increase the composition size by 1 pixel, the image disappears, change it back and it reappears.
Please note, that there is no files in my project and the image still appears.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Update your graphics driver and flush the disk cache. This is an artifact that relates to that - eitehr the buffer reappears when you set it back to the old resolution or an invalid cache is pulled in. It only disappears when you change the resolution because naturally there is no previously stored data...

Illustrator cc image looks pixelated after saving with transparent background

as the title states; image looks pixelated after saving with transparent background...
i created a logo in adobe illustrator cc and i wanted to saved it for web in order to be able to copy and paste the logo where ever I wanted but the image looks extremely pixelated after saving as an png, and for web. Is there a solution for this?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!!
Jon

What DPI did you save as:
You should always save as 300dpi, then you can always reduce the size as needed.
Another thing, don't copy and paste, that always causes that Problem.
In Acrobat you should open Tools Menu click on Content Editing the Add Image.
Then click on image and choose Properties and place where you want and size as you desire.

Have PS Element 12 using it with new MacBook pro. When I edit and save a photo in jpeg format, and try to e-mail it, it has a duplicate but ghost image underneath, and I don't want this second image. How do I get rid of it?

Unwanted ghost image underneath edited file. Need to solve!!! Have not experienced this with my old CS2. Please help.

Hi Panamark,
The problem has been resolved for me. I am a little fuzzy on how it got fixed.
I only have 3G, so I think I went to the library to use wi-fi.
I think I just deleted the stuck apps, and the downloaded them again. You do not have to pay again when you download a previously purchased app.
It is now August, and fortunately I have not had any stuck apps lately.
As you may already know, you cannot download an app over 20 MB via 3G.
I have the Kindle app also. No new updates lately. I only bought one thing using Kindle. It was a guide to iPad that was only $1.99 or so, but it did not really have anything that cannot be found in normal free Apple guide.
I have borrowed an ebook from the library using Overdrive app. You can choose the ebook version from Kindle.
I don't have any weather apps.
Let me know what happened when you get the chance.

Retaining rating for images after PS edit

In LR2, I could rate my images in LR, edit in PS and once done, they reappeared in LR, complete with the rating of the original image. In LR3, once edited and returned to LR, they lose their rating. I find this very frustrating as I have to undo the rating filter, find the edited copy of the image, then reapply the filter. Such a waste of time! I like to filter a shoot and only look at the images I will be working on and I expect the edited version to retain it's star rating.
I hope I have been clear enough. Has anyone struck this issue and more importantly, do they have a fix for it. Interestingly, I had the beta version of LR3 and I didn't have this problem. Trialling LR3 now.
I love some of the features of LR3, but will be returning to LR2 if I can't fix this issue.
Cheers
Beth

It is very frustrating. I tried both options and still no ratings -
and now it froze my Lightroom
It is crazy that this one small thing changed in Lightroom - they
should know better than to mess us up
Thank you for the email.

Why do linked images resize in ID after being edited elsewhere?

We use CS4 to layout full colour test papers and text and images files are linked from InCopy, Illustrator and PhotoShop. We noticed that if the images or the text is edited outside of ID, when ID is launched the images always shrink to say between 97- 70%. Even if the linked InCopy file is opened and closed without and editing, the images shrink or get clipped on the sides.
We’ve played with the setting in ID where we decide whether we want linked images to fit in pre-determined image placeholders but this doesn’t seem to fix the problem. Is there a way of ensuring that images retain their original size and dimensions?
Would be glad to hear of some useful insights on why this is happening. I hope my question makes sense.

Have a look to your Object Styles of the used frames. Is there something defined in the frame fittings options?

When I copy an image with a transparent background into an image editing program like Photoshop, I get a black background

I'm wondering if there's a way to preserve transparency, or even change the color of the background to white.
I often need to get reference pictures for my artwork, and it is a pain to have to save every image and the black background often makes it difficult to see the image, especially when the image has only black pixels.
Help?

You can try to drag the image in a Photoshop window instead.<br />
If that still doesn't work then you need to save the image and open it in Photoshop.

Ghost image

Hi All,
I have developed a application in Director in which i have
used both and flash and jpeg images. In my Main screen i have a
Jpeg image as background and above that i have a Flash navigation
menu.
The Problem is when i leave the application idle for some
time and working on other application like word or any other
application. When i resume to our applictio i could not see any
background image, its black and the flash navigation buttons or
visible. Why this Ghost image happens.
Can some one help me on this. Looking forward to Yout reply
thanking you all.
Rgds,
P.Suresh kumar

Are you using Direct To Stage on your Flash?
Try this code in a movie script (pre-MX2004 syntax), it will
foce the stage to redraw when your app comes to the front
on activateApplication
(the stage).bgcolor = (the stage).bgcolor
end

Making a image have a transparent background

I was given a image and asked to use it as a logo for a website. It is a black image with a white background. How do I get a transparent background so I can post the image on a web page and only see the image and not the white background it has? I am using photoshop elements 5.0. Thanks.

For me, best solution for extracting an image from its background is using a terrific plug-in for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. It's called GML Matting. It's free, functions flawlessly and you can create some amazing images with it. I save the extracted images with transparent backgrounds as PSDs.
You can download it here: http://research.graphicon.ru/image-processing/gml-matting-6.html
Select the latest version from the menu. After it's installed, you'll find it at the bottom of the Filters pull-down.
I've used it with Elements 2, 5 and 7.
How well does it work? You can decide. I took two photos, one of my Jeep parked in a parking lot, overlooking a quiet bay. Then I took another photo of the rough surf on the ocean side of the island. Using Elements 5 with the GML Matting plug-in, I extracted the Jeep and its shadow and dropped the image onto the photo of the surf. It took about 30 minutes to clean up edges (using various Elements tools). When completed, the resulting image is virtually impossible to detect as a composite.
Here's the finished image: http://home.att.net/~historyworld/OceanBeachJeep.jpg
You can see a review of the plug-in and see the images to create my composite by scrolling through the linked thread below (on the Photocamel forums). http://photocamel.com/forum/image-editing-color-management/48945-free-background-removal- software.html

Extract part of image & save with transparent background

What is the best way to extract part of an image & save it with a transparent background? I had hoped to the extracted images in 2 different ways.
Firstly just to paste into another image.
Secondly I'd like to try to open both the extracted item as well as the whole original photo in different video editing programs including Premiere Elements & sony Vegas. What is the best way to do this?

Here's what you could do.
First make sure you have both images open in editor
1. Open the image and select the area using the magnetic lasso/quick selection tool.
2. Select Layer -> New -> Layer Via Copy
3. Now in the layers palette, right click the layer and select 'Dulicate Layer'
4. In the duplicate layer dialog, in document - select the other image, where you would like to paste the image to.
5. You and ajust the poition of the pasted area/resize it using the move tool or transform tool (Ctrl + T).
6. Save the image with a new name
If you simply want to save the image with transparency (after step #2) - you may -
> hide the previous layer and Save the image as a png/gif so transparency is presereved.
Hope that helps.
When you have teh saved documents you can open them up in different editors.
Regards,

Help - canvas doesn't match timeline -- ghost images appear

Hi,
After having no problem in panther and final cut 5.0 I've had to upgrade to tiger (10.4.8) and FCP 5.1.2. When I opened and edited my project, I got a sort of ghost image (a still image from elsewhere in the timeline) appearing in the canvas over where another clip should be. This happened once and I tried everything (deleting and then brining in clean copy of clip) and no dice. The good news is that when I output to QT.mov, everything looks as it should.
But suddenly, I'm having this problelm in many areas of my project, which makes it hard to edit at all. Has anyone else had this problem? I've tried rendering everything, but it doesn't change anything.
Two other clues:
1) at the same time I've had trouble getting VoiceOver to recognize where i am in the timeline so have had to create "In" marker for the project at that spot where I'm doing a new voiceover.
2) For what it is worth, there does seem to be some odd lines (same color as rendered project but as if cut into smaller pieces in the area of the timeline that triggers this).
please help! (and thanks in advance)

Glad to help. I'm glad to see someone else is working in NY on this cold, gray day. One thing I cannot recommend too highly; browse this forum every day. You see a topic that might be useful, read it. Pretty soon, you'll be an expert at troubleshooting fcp.

Show waiting image on button click till response comes

Hi All,
I want to show waiting image on button click in a jsff page till response comes from back-end.
For this I am using following code in button :-
<af:commandButton text="Submit" id="cb1"
actionListener="#{RegistrationManagedBean.onRegisterClick}"
binding="#{RegistrationManagedBean.registerButton}"
inlineStyle="width:65px; height:34px; font-size:11px; font-family:verdana; color:#fff; border-color:Gray; border-style:solid; border-width:1px; background-image:url("images/template-related/template_new/ButtonEnabledBG.png"); background-repeat:repeat-x; float:right;"
styleClass="button">
<af:clientListener method="enforcePreventUserInput" type="action"/>
</af:commandButton>
enforcePreventUserInput is written inside on .js file.
js code is :-
function enforcePreventUserInput(evt) {
var popup = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId('pt1:r1:p1');
if (popup != null){
AdfPage.PAGE.addBusyStateListener(popup,handleBusyState);
evt.preventUserInput();
function handleBusyState(evt){
var popup = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId('pt1:r1:p1');
if(popup!=null){
if (evt.isBusy()){
popup.show();
else if (popup.isPopupVisible()) {
popup.hide();
AdfPage.PAGE.removeBusyStateListener(popup,handleBusyState);
Popup code is :-
<af:popup id="p1" contentDelivery="immediate">
<af:dialog id="d2" type="none" closeIconVisible="false"
inlineStyle="background-color:none !important; width:54px; height:55.0px;">
<af:image source="/images/template-related/LoadingCircle.gif" shortDesc="Loading" id="i7"/>
</af:dialog>
</af:popup>
This is working and image is also being shown but this image is not shown as transparent(where as image is transparent) and also image is having top and bottom shading which is because of dialog or popup. But i dont want this shadow. Also inline style is not working for this popup.
If there is any other way to solve this purpose please suggest.
Thanks

Ok, we will use a movieclip button but is there a tutorial somewhere on how to display the image when the button is clicked?

Ghost image on top of screen in the menu bar...

I've use an alternative black and white screensaver to try to get rid of that ghost image or look like "ink" going down on the upper right of my screen but it's still comming back and getting worst every week...., there is also a "grey" line all the way horizontaly also on top ... and even worst, i see my user name ghost image even when the screen is black ! i don,t think i'll be able to get rid of that and my question is , does applecare cover that kind of weird thing ? ... i didn't buy the applecare yet my computer is just 6 month old ... is that problem cover by the warranty
Imac G5 2Ghz 20" Mac OS X (10.4.4) 1 gig Ram

Continued from above post:
And, you can search for the term: "Image Persistence" to find more.
Basically, the information from Apple says that to make a burned-in image disappear, you need to leave the computer off for a period of time equal to (or greater than) the time the image was displayed on the screen. But, that may not be possible when you consider that some images are on the screen the whole time the computer is off. So, it might mean turning a computer off for days in some cases.
I've made them go away temporarily by turning off the computer for 24-hours. And, also by displaying a pure white image on the screen for 6 or 8 hours. But, the second method was less effective.
The solution of turning it off was effective until the machine got hot again. Once it got really hot, the previous images re-appeared (further indicating that temperature impacts this problem).
My personal lesson from all of this is to not buy another computer from Apple that has a built-in screen.
My old LCD panel from Best Buy only cost me around $200 and it's still perfect after around 3 years.
Too bad the problems with both of my iMac G5's prevented me from owning them beyond 6 months each. I've never gotten rid of any computer I've ever owned that fast before (or since).
Between 2 iMac G5 computers (both different revisions), I've been through:
3 LCD panels
1 Logic-Board (would have been 2, got rid of the other as it was failing)
1 Mouse
1 Keyboard
1 Power Supply
1 Front Bezel
Neither Logic board was replaced for fan noise. They were both actual failures.
All 3 LCD panels were having burn-in issues
the mouse button was sticking (the very day it arrived)
The keyboard actually cracked on it's own
The power supply smoked
The front bezel was broken when it arrived.
And, there's probably a few items I can't think of at the moment.
The unfortunate thing, is that I have probably owned 100 computers or more in my time (used to be really heavy into them), and I don't think I ever had that many parts fail among the entire lot of them (except for the 2 iMac G5 systems).
Before my iMac G5's, I had never left a computer with a service tech. But, thanks to my iMac G5's, I got to know the local service guy very, very, very well. He knows who I am immediately when I call.
I hope to never have that sort of problem again. Here's hoping for a good Power Mac replacement (please Apple, no more systems with built-in monitors).

Preview Update after Photoshop Editing

I would think this would be a common question but I can't find the answer.
After I edit a photo from iPhoto 09 in photoshop, the preview of the photo in iPhoto does not update. I can double click on the photo and see the edits but when I zoom back out it goes back to the original state.
Any ideas on how to correct?
Thanks!

Be sure you're using Photoshop correctly from wihtin iPHoto:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.
