Help ... Image gap when placing images

When ever placeing an image in dreamweaver cs6 i am getting this white space.... http://paulwilson209.com/testerhats/index4.html.... this also happens win usig divs. what am i missing?

Glad to help. I don't post here much, but I do tend to give correct answers most of the time. Unfortunately, they are often overlooked in the noise . The issue is that the W3C specification always treated images as inline-replaced elements (just like text) and so browsers leave room, as Murray pointed out, for descending character parts (like the a lowercase "y") even though an image does not have those parts. It's one of many illogical decisions made by the folks who devised the specification. In older versions of HTML/xhtml this issue was only an issue when a strict DOCTYPE was used. You could get the same result in CS4 by simply converting your page to a strict DOCTYPE. The HTML5 DOCTYPE, which is often default in CS6, is always "strict" and so that's why you see this anomaly now. Relative to your e-mail, there really is no way to learn all this in one, or even a dozen, places. It's something you accumulate over time as you design Web pages. You see a problem like this and you Google for information, or you post on a forum and, hopefully, you come with a solution. If you do, you store it in your brain and, if you're like me, in a big spiral notebook .

Image cut out when Placed InDesign

I don't quite know how to describe this, so I'm just going to include a screenshot. When placing an image in InDesign Creative Cloud (Only certain images, but all types of formats) the image gets cropped weirdly & pieces of it are missing. It looks like this particular one is cutout in the shape of the bag behind it, but it does it even when the image is merged (like with JPG) so I don't think the layers should be having an impact. When I view them in photoshop, they look whole, but when I place them, this happens. I've tried placing them as photoshop, JPG, PNG, GIF, etc. but it does it every time. Started last week after never having this problem before. Any idea what's going on? I tried updating, but that didn't help. So frustrated.

Do you have a clipping path applied to the image? Open the image in Photoshop and check the Paths panel. If you see a clipping path in there you can remove it. InDesign will apply clipping paths automatically when placing if they're properly created in Photoshop.

Images not centred when placed into InDesign CC 2014

Hello,
Since updating to InDesign CC every time I place a new image into a doc it drops down within the containing box a by a few mm. Auto fit is not on and the problem happens when placing an image via cmd + d or dragging and dropping from bridge or finder. Any ideas?

Thank you for your reply. I ditched the InDesign Defaults pref but couldn't find the InDesign SavedData file. I have uninstalled and put a fresh copy back on to my mac, this seems to have resolved the problem. I guess this was a pref file some where, I just could locate it.
Thanks for your help.

Why does a TIF image look blurry when placed in InDesign file?

Hi all,
I've placed a logo in my InDesign file that I saved out of Photoshop. It appear blurry when in InDesign and I do have it set to high image quality display so that isn't the issue. It is also set as CMYK and I haven't resized it after saving from Photoshop.
I tried saving a jpg so it would be crisper but then I have a white box behind it when placed in the InDesign file.
Any help is greatly appreciated as I need to send it to print but can't let it go until I'm sure it won't print like a blurry mess.
Thanks

Sub-pixel sampling. Read up on it. you are placing your images at odd values and it gets resampled. Can be anything from the image inside the frame, the image frame itself, some styling option in ID...

GIF and PNG aliased when placed over bg image

When I use Save for Web/Devices in both Illustrator and
Photoshop, the saved files look normal and display fine in browser
and other image viewing programs. However, when I attempt to turn
them into a navigation bar or rollover, they become severely
aliased when placed into a table (which is the layout). I tried
placing them just by themselves in a XHTML document and they do not
alias, even when the body has a bg image (I am using CSS and have
encounted no other problems). This is pretty frustrating and would
appreciated any help.

Have a link for us?
My guess is you either:
a) are using gif or 8-bit png transparency, and then placing
it on a
background that is of a different color than the one in the
original file
or
b) the image is scaled and you're seeing pixelization rather
than aliasing.

Strange problem with image scaling when placed

I'm currently running InDesign CS6 from the Creative Cloud, and it's version 8.0. I have a PC and am running Windows 8.
I am experiencing a really odd problem when placing images, and it only recently (within the last two weeks perhaps?) has developed. I do ebook production for a publisher. I have an InDesign template (INDD file really, but "blank" and ready to be filled in, and as such I refer to it as a "template") that I use, and the cover for the book goes on the first page. The document is set to pixels as the ruler measurement, and the pages are 650 pixels wide by 800 pixels tall. The margins are all set at zero. The cover images are sent to me as JPEGs and always have the same size: 72dpi setting and 500 pixels wide by 750 pixels tall. This is chosen to be about the size of the full screen on most ereaders, or close enough to be so.
So when working on a new book, I put my cursor in the blank line that is set up to take the cover as an inline image. I do control-D to place, select the file, and hit enter. This SHOULD place an image at that location that is 500 pixels wide and 750 pixels tall when looking at the InDesign page rulers. Instead, InDesign insists on placing this image at 50% scaling, so that it is only 250 pixels wide by 375 pixels tall. And in the link info panel, it shows the actual PPI as 72 and the effective PPI as 144. It does this no matter how many preference changes I try (including the ones under file handling and the import setting options).
The strangest part is that if the file is just a tiny bit different than 500x750 @72dpi, then there is no problem. For example, if I open the JPEG in Photoshop and change the image settings to 500x750 @73dpi, then InDesign places it at 100% scale like I want. If I change the image to 499x749 @72dpi it also gets placed in InDesign at 100% scaling. I've tried this with various new INDD documents with settings in pixels, inches, or picas as the ruler amounts, and with different page or margin sizes (just in case the problem is with my template). I get the same result no matter what.
It appears that InDesign somehow thinks that any image that is exactly 500x750 @72dpi should be scaled at 50% when placing it into an InDesign file. Has anyone else run across this? Is it a bug or something I'm doing wrong? I've been doing this exact procedure for over a year, first with CS5 and now CS6, and I've never had this happen until just recently. I suppose it COULD be an accidental change in settings or preferences. But if it is, I cannot figure out how to change it back.
UPDATE: I installed the 8.0.1 update and it did not resolve the issue. I also tried more image options. It looks like this scaling to 50% upon placing ONLY happens when all three attributes match this: 500x750@72dpi. All of the following modifications to the exact same image placed in the exact same spot in the exact same document resolved the issue:
501x750@72dpi
499x750@72dpi
500x751@72dpi
500x749@72dpi
500x750@71dpi
500x750@73dpi
But of course, I don't want to have to modify every cover image I'm sent in order to prevent this scaling issue.

I just tried this and got the same results (CS6, 8.0.1, on WinXP SP3). One other tidbit: the same 500px × 750 px @ 72ppi image saved as TIFF instead of JPEG worked correctly (at least for me). I haven't tried any other image formats yet.
This sounds like a good candidate for an official bug report: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

Hierarchical menu access when placing an image

How can I get Illustrator to go back to accessing an image folder that is in one of my client project folders when placing an image instead of taking me back to the main level of my hard drive every time. It used to do this but quit doing so.
For example, my hard drive is set up as Hard drive/Clients/Client Name/12_100 Project _A/x_Linked Images. When working in illustrator, I have set up a keyboard shortcut of Command/e to place an image. The first time I place an image I have to navigate to the project x_linked images folder for the first time. Everytime I need to place a new image, Illustrator used to take me right back to that same x_Lnked Images folder. Now it takes me back to the main level of my hard drive and I hve to click through all of the folders again to get there. Does that make sense? It's slowing me down when I'm working.
Thanks, Bruce

I'd get Default Folder X from insidersoftware.com if you want to solve this issue. It's mostly a Mac OS issue and pops up depending on what bugs Apple introduces into whatever version they release. Some OS versions go back to the proper folder, other's don't. With Default Folder.. they always do (among other things)

When placing an image in Muse time lag

When placing an image in Muse it takes 20 or more seconds for the folder to populate, is this a mac issue or an adobe issue?

Hi,
This is an expected behavior, when you place an image in InDesign then it display the preview of the image however you this has no impact on the output unless the image placed is of low-resolution itself.
In order to have good resolution of images, you may switch to View > Display Performance > High Quality.

Illustrator cs6 locks up when placing image (yosemite)

Just upgraded to yosemite...was running fine for a week or so but now illustrator finder window freezes when placing an image. Thoughts?

spooky,
You may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Difference between CS3 and CS4 when placing images, percentage not kept

There is some kind of difference between CS3 and CS4 when placing images. The images I've dealt with right now were vector images but it might apply to all kinds of images.
When replacing an existing image, the CS4 behaviour is to let the image fill up the frame. In CS3 the percentage was set to 100% as default (the % you see when selecting the image, not the container).
Also when replacing an impage in CS4, the "inner" image frame is kept, while in C3, the percentage was kept.
Is there some kind of placement preferences / settings to let CS4 act the same wat as CS3 did, when placing an image?
-- Andreas

Yes, the behavior was changed in CS4 (and many users, like me, prefer the new system).
If you click and drag a loaded image place cursor the entire image will be be scaled to fit the proportionally drawn frame -- a huge timesaver if you mostly place uncropped art. If you want 100% of the image at 100% scale, just click and release -- same as before, or as before you can pre-draw a frame and place into it and your image will come in cropped at 100% (unless you've changed the fitting options for the frame before placing).

About Help image does not appear

RoboHelp X5.2 Webhelp output
A logo created as a jpg to be used as an About Help button
will only appear when compiled on my hard drive.
I got rid of the powered by Robohelp button and created a
company image in jpg format for the About Help button.
In my project I double-clicked on the skin, and then the
About Button, selected the jpg for the About Button image, selected
a gif to use in the About Help dialog box, added company
information, company name, etc.
Part of skin code ----------------
<toolbaritem mode="Logo Mode" type="built-in-logo"
id="7">
<name>About</name>
<image>selected:napa_logo_blue.jpg?</image>
I compiled to my local drive. Everything works. The jpg logo
appears on the top right-hand side, and when you click on it, the
About Help dialog box opens with the gif image and other
information.
However, the development team compiled the help along with
the application to one of their test boxes. The jpg image does not
appear. Instead, a small white box with a red x and the words About
Help appears. When you click on this the About Help dialog box
opens with all the correct information including the gif image.
Both images reside in the skin folder on my hard drive. When
I compile the project they reside in the main folder with all the
htm files and js files.
Not sure how to resolve this.

I am also having this problem. I've just converted a project
from RH X5 to RH v7. In X5 the .gif file attached to the About
button worked fine. In RH 7 nothing appears. I've tried adding the
.gif to the Baggage files but it's still broken. Any other
suggestions?

Broken help images

I have had a recurring problem with RoboHelp for Word 6.
Whenever I have to work on a help project that I havent' looked at
in a while, I make my edits and then try to compile (to Web help).
I will get a silent compile failure - the status window says
'Starting compilation...' and the window title says 'WebHelp has
been generated'. No help files are generated. I have learned from
experience (and possibly from this forum) that what this means is
that a help image 'object' has become corrupt and ends up as a Word
image rather than a RH help image. I have to go through each module
(all 28 of them) and switch from Dynamic WYSIWYG to TrueCode. I
started to save the files in TrueCode mode, so that means I have to
convert to WYSIWYG and then convert again to TrueCode. Then I have
to search (visually) for any images that didn't get converted,
delete the image, and re-insert it the RH way. I have noticed that
It is usually one particular image btnChoices.bmp - just an image
of a small button with 3 periods (to simulate an ellipsis - we use
it to show a list of choices that can be entered into a field). So,
a 15 edit ends up taking a day or so trying to get it to compile.
Well it finally happened - I have a file that doesn't get
fixed when I do that. I have it down to:
1. delete the image
2. re-insert the image
3. convert to WYSIWYG
4. convert to TrueType
5. The conversion fails on the image I just added
I tried re-capturing the image and giving it a different name
- no luck.
Has any one else had this problem? Did Adobe correct it in
version 7?
Phil

Updating to RoboHelp 7 didn't help.
I ended up making a new project and importing all the .doc
files into it. I found one place that had a compiler tag that
didn't make sense. I removed the tag. Anyway I got it to work -
still don't know for sure what was wrong. A better message would
sure help - or a log file to see how far it got.

When placing a PDF created with Distiller, I only get Crop and Media as import options -- I need it to crop to the Trim! PLEASE HELP!

I'm having a MAJOR problem placing PDF files in InDesign CS4...
When I try to place a PDF that has been created in Distiller, the ONLY import options I can choose are CROP and MEDIA. I need it to crop to the TRIM, but that option is grayed out. The PDFs I'm trying to place were created in-house, and converted from Post Script files to PDFs using Distiller. We use PDF/X-1a equivalent settings when creating our PDFs.
If I export the file as a PDF and then try to place it into a CS4 file, I am able to select Trim as an option.
ALSO, if I open the Distiller PDF in Acrobat and then save it (without changing anything), I am able to select Trim as an option. A workaround I have found is to open all of the PDF files in Acrobat, save them to my desktop, and then save over the ones I need to place. Here's the problem with that: I work for a publishing company, and need to place hundreds of ads for each issue of our publications, and it adds a lot of time if I have to go and re-save everything just to be able to place all the ads.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I need to get this figured out so we can use CS4 for all of our publications again. -- We've gone back to using CS3 until I can get this figured out...
- Valerie

Steve,
Thanks for the reply, but my PDFs all have trim boxes on them. If I try to place the same PDF in InDesign CS3, it gives me Trim as an option. Also, if I open the PDF and save a copy to my desktop, I am able to select Trim as an option when placing the PDF, and I didn't change anything about it.
I've been trying to see if it's something with the Print Preset settings I'm using, but I can't find anything that seems like it would affect how InDesign would read the Trim area of the PDF.
I've attached 2 PDF files. One that was created with Distiller, and one that was exported from InDesign CS4. The Distiller one doesn't show Trim as an option in CS4, but the exported one does.... but they started out as the same ad. Ugh! Help me please!

Help InDesign CS5 hanging when placing pictures - OS 10.8.5

Hi guys
I am having a real issue. I have upgraded my early 2011macbook pro to mountain lion 10.8.5. Since then InDesign has be awful when placing pictures into a document. I just get the spinning wheel of death and it takes ages to load a selection. Whilst running activity monitor the app shows as not responding. I have run all updates and this has made no difference. Even re-installed and deleted prefs. Is anyone else having this issue? Any advice would be great.
Thanks
Maria

Hi Maria. Was this an in-place upgrade, or a clean install of the new OS? If an upgrade, it may or may not work well with ID, even if you reinstall the program (which you should do). Adobe apps, especially InDesing don't react well to upgrading the OS or migration.
