Having a problem: Placing image or putting drop shadow on rectangle causing entire page to lighten up.

I don't know how to word this properly, so I'm sorry if I'm doing this all wrong! I'm having a problem with my document in indesign. I have placed a jped image on the page to serve as the background image. I did this on the master page. I first noticed this problem when I was trying to put a .psd image onto the page. When I did, it would cause the entire page to dramatically brighten! I finally gave up and moved on, and now I ran into the problem again when I created a new rectangle box. I put a drop shadow effect on the box and when I did this, it also made the entire page lighten up. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem??
Thanks so much!

Whenever you add a transparency effect such as drop shadow over another image, especially a grayscale image, InDesign changes how the page is rendered to reflect what it will look like when printed. As I understand it, nothing has changed but the display. Choose View > Overprint Preview to avoid such surprises and get a more accurate representation of what you'll see when printed when colors are separated. If your document is going to be output to PDF or SWF, choose Edit > Transparency Blend Space > Document RGB instead of Document CMYK.

Problems with images with a drop shadow in muse 3.0

When I updated to Muse 3.0, all of my images with drop shadows moved all over the place on my website. HELP!?!

Would you mind sending me the .muse file at [email protected]? If the file is larger than 20MB, you can use a service like SendThisFile, Adobe SendNow, WeTransfer, Dropbox, etc.
Thanks,

My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

I think that may be a consequence of the email provider she is using. Some services (AOL is one example) inspect and modify email attachments, particularly photos, resulting in reduced resolution compared to the email that was sent.
The iPod does not do this. The resolution of the picture in the email she receives will be identical to what is imported.

I am having a problem opening images in the Editor from iPhotos into photoshop elements

What exactly is the problem? What happens when you try, and how are you trying to do this?

Having a problem with images on Mac/Safari

Hi!
I got a Mac in March of this year, and I love it! But ever since I first got it, I've been having this problem. You see, about 4 days in, I started making audiorecordings on my Mac, and since then I've noticed a bit of a stuttering. Images are slower to download, and pages (i.e. new pages, when I click on a link) are sometimes a little slow to upload. Can you tell me what's behind this?

No i did call them & they told me to take out the sim card & then put it back in but that didn't work. Everytime i get searching on my phone the carrier on the phone goes missing. I don't know what else to do.

Using Bridge to Camera Raw to Open Image button also drop shadow problems

I remember when I was working with RAW in PSE 8. I would be in Bridge looking at a pic and double click on it. PSE 8 would open in Camera RAW and I could play with the pic a bit, make some adjustments, then click on OPEN IMAGE. When I did that it would open in PSE and it would be in jpg format. With this PSE 9 and the updated Camera RAW 6.3, when I punch OPEN IMAGE I still have a picture labeled .CR2 which I think still means RAW. When I double click in Bridge the .CR2 pic shows as 8 bit depth. I can do a little more work on it and use SAVE AS. When I do that, the sample file name that shows is still in .CR2 format and I must change that to .jpg and then below change from PHOTOSHOP to JPEG to save my file as a jpg file. Is there something that I have to change in preferences to get it to open the image in jpg format when I hit the OPEN IMAGE button? Or, is this an "improvement" with RAW 6.3? Also, I seem to be having trouble adding a drop shadow (or any other effects) on jpeg pics. At least it doesn't show up on the screen after I apply it. I just recently updated to Camera RAW 6.3 and updated my Operating system on my iMac computer to OS 10.6.6. I emailed this request to my good friend with an identical setup on his iMac and he is having the same response when performing the above operations. Any ideas what the problem might be?

Okay, previously you seem to have been using the bridge version of camera raw to edit your raw photos. That has many more options than the PSE version of the raw converter. (If you still have PSE 8, you can see the difference by using File>Open in the editor to open a raw photo for the PSE version of ACR, which works the same way in PSE 9.) In PSE's raw converter, you use the Open button, then save your photo in an image format in the editor. The Save button in ACR in PSE is only the DNG converter.
Layer styles should work exactly the same way as in PSE 8. However, in any version of PSE a drop shadow, like a real shadow, needs someplace to fall, so unless there is empty space on the layer, it won't appear. Try creating text or drawing and simplifying a shape and adding a drop shadow. Does it appear then?
Also remember that Jpegs won't let you save either layers or transparency when you resave the file.

Problem placing images in InDesign 5.0

I'm using InDesign 5.0 for a catalog project. On other catalogs I've placed hundreds of images without a hitch, but suddenly I am having this problem: After successfully placing several images in a document I get the spinning ball after selecting another image to place. It occurs after I've selected "Place" and have gone back to my InDesign doc. This problem began after I'd selected 25 images all at once and successfully placed them. After that I can't even select a single image without the spinning ball. I have to Force Quit and relaunch. I've tried restarting, shutting down for 20 seconds, making new documents (thought it might be a Save-As issue), but can't get more than a handful of images onto the layout before it has this problem again.

Do you use Linotype Fontexplorer? I ask because the latest plugin update broke illustrator in a similar way, if you do, try disabling the plugin and see if the issue resolves

A image with a drop shadow on a shaded background

When I make a copy from my color printer of my PDF that has a image with a grey drop shadow on a grey shaded background. I get a shaded box around the image. This does not happen when I print from my b&w laser printer. The PDF was exported from Indesign, I had digital prints from the Indesign file and they are ok.

Drop shadow in .ai causing transparency problems for .eps (needed for MS Publisher – PDF)

I have icons with drop shadows created in .ai. I need to make the icons available for others who use MS Office Publisher to create print materials (export to PDF). I use .eps files for this however the drop shadow is making a white background (if I take out the drop shadow the background is transparent). How do I save the icons so that the background is transparent with the drop shadow?
Thanks.

Simply, you don't.
EPS is a flat file format and does not support transparncy, therefore all transpency is flattened upon saving.
You may be better off saving as png or pdf to support transparency.

How do I put a different image in my drop down menu for my current page?

Is there a way to put different images or color for each

identify the current page in my bar?
Thanks for your time and have a nice day!

Actually what I posted came after searching for an easy
"how to do it". The closest I found to a tutorial was this:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/spryte_menu.html
The author designs and implements a spry menu with Fire Works
graphics. The last section describes how to modify the existing CSS
for multiple levels. Yet I found the sample page provided above,
easier to follow than the tutorial.
I'm sorry if you feel my post was not

Having a problem with image IO and drawing image

My question did not come out on the other posting. I am getting them image from a JPanel. I then convert the image into a renderedimage. Use the ImageIO.write method to convert to png format. I don't want to save the image on the local disk so it is writted to a ByteArrayOutputStream. I get the bytes from this and insert this into a blob field type.
Then to paint the image onto the JPanel I try two methods to paint it on to the JPanel. I set the JPanel to be the width and size of the image. But I am getting a null pointer exception and I can't figure out why. If anyone could give me any suggestions I would really appreciate it.
rImage = convertToRenderedImage(draw.drawPanel.offScreen, width11, drawPanelHeight, type);
try{
bo = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ImageIO.write(rImage, "png", bo);
imageBytes = bo.toByteArray();
}catch(IOException iox3)
System.err.println(iox3);
PreparedStatement statement12 = connection.prepareStatement(
"INSERT INTO feed VALUES(?,?,?,?,?,?);");
statement12.setBytes(2, imageBytes);
icon = new ImageIcon(rs.getBytes("file"));
image = icon.getImage();
//base is the JPanel
Graphics g2d = base.getGraphics();
bytes = rs.getBytes("file");
bInput = new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes);
try
bImage = ImageIO.read(bInput);
catch(IOException e21)
System.out.println("Error in imageIO transformation");
//image is Image and bimage is bufferedimage
image = bImage;
Graphics g2d = base.getGraphics();
g2d.drawImage(image, 0, 0, base);
g2d.drawImage(image, 0, 0, base);

Would it be possible for you to send out a small runnable testcase that I could try out with?
Thanks,

Hi, I'm having a problem with my first gen. iPad switching back to the apps page by itself. This started after upgrading to ios5. It will do this from safari or kindle. I have turned it off manually as suggested by a tech rep. without any improvement.

Hi,
My 1stgen iPad keeps. Switching back to the apps. Pages by itself after installing ios5. I have shut it down manually as suggestedby a tech rep but the problem still exists.
Thanks, Jim

1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.

I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

Having a problem with Pro Tools and Quiktime may be the cause. Need advice.

I recently installed Pro Tools recording software on my Mac and everytime I try and open the program I get a kernel panic "restart" screen. I have been told that it may have something to with my Quiktime version.
I am running
OSX version 10.4.7
Pro Tools version 7.1
and Quiktime version 7.0.4
Could this be my problem? thanks

A fax file is simply a TIFF file. If you converted it to a PDF (you did not give any info on your workflow), then you have a graphic. The conversion to Excel will also be a bunch of graphics I guess. You would need to run OCR first. Even then you may not get the column information and may have to copy column by column using alt key when selecting the text. That allows you go copy a column.

Problem placing Jpeg images

Hi Group,
I'm having a problem placing Jpeg images in DW CS3. Some come
in and display
themselves just fine. Others come in as what appears to be
the file name
displayed as a link, blue text and underlined. Previewed in a
browser, when
I click the link the message is:
The image
"file:///C:/Users/Bob/Documents/CUT/CSL%20Web/My%20Assets/Sandy-Kirk_Web.jpg"
cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
I've looked at the properties of these different images and
dont have a clue
what the problem is.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Bob

Look at the line you pasted into your reply and note that
it's a link
pointing to your hard drive. Of course that will never work
on the web.
Such broken links are often the result of an improperly
defined local site.
What happens if you remove that image and insert it again,
then save the
page? Is the link still broken?

Problem with Image.createImage()

Hi all!
I'm writing a simple midlet just to display an image on the screen and I'm having some problems with Image.createImage()
Here is my code
Image bg_img;
ImageItem imageItem1;
imageItem1 = new ImageItem("", null,ImageItem.LAYOUT_DEFAULT, "");
try{
bg_img = Image.createImage("/image.png");
imageItem1.setImage(bg_img);
catch(java.io.IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
I'm getting an exception on bg_img = Image.createImage("/image.png");
I can't understand what is it...:(
I know for sure that the problem is not "file not found"
Any one can help me???

If you are catching IOException, then u may have problem with ur image path. "image not found on the specified path." if ur image is not in the current directiry then put it into current directory. otherwise, If u are using resouce folder and it is already included into the resouce path, then put ur image in that folder..try this..
Still not get, then please give some detail about ur development toolkit. and ur apllication packaging scheem. are you using ANT?
