Help with images required

Hi, I am a new Macbook owner. I transfered some photos from my canon camera last week. Today some of these are corrupt. I tried sending the folder to a friend yesterday using podmail. Quite a lot of my images are now corrupt, but not all. All I have done is resizing in Preview a few days ago. How do I fix my images? They are very important to me as they are of me and my girlfriend. Any help is greatly appreciated.

First, did you erase the camera? If not, import the pictures again.
Second, are the pictures in iphoto? If they are, then look in your iphoto library in your user/pictures folder and look at them to see if there are originals that weren't messed with or which are otherwise ok. If they aren't in iphoto, try importing them into iphoto and then looking at them again.
If you erased the camera and the images are all indeed screwed up, then you need to look at what you mean by "corrupt." Is it that the pictures themselves are mucked or that you can't open them. If the pictures are bad, then your only option is to play with them to try to improve them and there is no magic bullet. If you can't open them, then select one, get info on it (command + I) and see what the thing is set to open with. Make sure a photo program like Preview or iPhoto is selected and not some text program or the like.

Help with image ready on ps3 extended

I am pretty new to photo shop and have cs3 extended.
I have a Yorkie website where I cut out my Yorkies and paste them to differnet backgrounds.... a lady that does the ANIMATED pictures HAS DID A COUPLE FOR ME ....BUT I NEED TO LEARN TO DO THIS MYSELF. She will not tell folks how to do:)
The problem is once you work with a pic that is animated already then try to add a dog.....by pasting....it removes the animation in the background pic.... and the picture no longer moves once the dog is added ?....She said she puts thru IMAGE READY...which I do not see anywhere on CS3 extended. I will try to insert a pic she did for me and any help would be greatly appreciated....as I can do but then the picture is no longer animated once altered in my photoshop but she is doing somehow.....so has to be poss ? If I were to do this pic it would stop moving once the dogs were added....plus not as good as her but practicing........could it be the fact she is doing in layers and I am doing copy and paste...I do know she puts thru Image ready and I do not know where this is located on cs3 extended or how to do?
am

I'm not sure anyone mentioned this but if not to open GIFs using the import you have to enter the GIF name as GIF isn't listed as one of the options.
It sounds like you are viewing the images in a maximized screen mode. To view more than one document, press F to cycle through the screen modes. FYI, only the contents of the currently selected document can be viewed in the layers palette.
I'll just talk about copy/paste so as not to confuse...
If you are going to copy/paste, click the frame around the dog document to target it. Your layers palette will now contain the contents of the dog document. Click on the layer in the layers palette with the selected dog over transparency. With that layer highlighted in your layers palette, press Ctrl A; then Ctrl C. (Select<Select All; Edit<copy if you prefer using the menu.) This will copy that layer into your clipboard.
Next, click the frame of the document containing the animation. Click the topmost layer in the layers palette because we want you dog to be in the top layer. Press Ctrl + V. (Edit<Paste if you prefer using the menu).
Your dog is most likely going to be too big. Use Edit<Free Transform to size and move the dog to the desired location.
At this point, your dog should be showing in each frame in the animation palette.
Example:
http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/25315/with-palettes-open.jpg
I'm using the older Image Ready me method. The highlighted place in the palette is where you switch methods between the old method and the new timeline. Notice, I have the layers and animation palette both in the workspace...and I'm not in a maximized mode. The red arrow shows the correlation between the frame and the layer represented by it in the layers palette.
Image:second-image.jpg
Here I have a second image to slip into my animation. I have the creature selected and on it's own layer with transparency around it. Notice that the the layer with the isolated creature is highlighted. At this stage, I'll press Ctrl + A; then Ctrl + C to select and save this image to my clipboard.
Image:creature-added.jpg
Here, I've pasted (Ctrl + V or Edit<Paste) in my creature and resized it (Ctrl + T or Edit<free transform) so he can be jumped. I also added a shadow under my creature which I added to a layer under my creature. Notice that when Frame on is selected in the animation palette that the eye is on both the creature and the shadow. If I click the eye to turn them (creature and shadow layer) off, they disappear from the entire animation. I can make them appear at any frame by clicking the desired frame in the animation then turning on the eye icon for the creature and shadow layer in the layers palette. I can also adjust opacity if desired.
You could even more than the one image if you want the dog to appear to move. Use the eyeball visibility to determine which pose will be used for that frame.
Example:
Image:jump-creature-gif.gif
Here, I used transform warp to adjust the pose of the creature for a few frames as he's jumping the creature...just for fun.

Help with images in Spry menus

I need help making this work: I want my menu buttons and
submenu buttons to be images rather than text. I've been able to
set it up to use different images for each of the main and
sub-level buttons, but only for the active state. I cannot figure
out how to use a different set of "hover images" for the hover
state. Note-- Each button and submenu button in the entire menu are
different images, so I suspect I need to use different ID's for
each, but I am not sure how to set that up in the
SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css file for each different button in, at
least, the active and hover states. Can anyone offer some help with
this?:

V1 - Thank you for the suggestion, but this does not exactly
solve my dilemma. In its simplest terms, this is what I want to do:
Create a single drop-down menu where there is "Item 1" with
submenus "Item 1.1", "Item 1.2", and "Item 1.3". But, I want to use
different images for each item and subitem in their Active and
Hover states. So, in this example, there would be 8 different
images... An Active and a Hover image for each of Item 1, Item 1.1,
Item 1.2 and Item 1.3.

[CS3][JS] Help with image resizing

I'm still a newbie of ID scripting.
I'm using js scripting in Indesign CS3 to make an auto-impaginator and I have a problem with images.
I charged my contents from an xml set of tables, that I put into a fixed textFrame of the master page.
Because of the table needs to fill multiple pages, I made a function that keep creating pages and link the textFrames so that the table continues in various pages.
In this whole process I have some images too, that I need to resize them to fill the cell, because now they pass the parent cell.
I found a method that looks at the bounds and resizes the image and the rectangle too, but it doesn't work always, because if a image is overflowing, it hasn't any bound and it fails, and this causes other problems in my process, so I would find another method.
So:
Is there another way to resize an image on-the-way while importing it? Some xml attribute or preference?
Or some method that works also if the image is overflowing?

These forums are pointless. Adobe must believe that other users will cut the mustard. Absolutely a waste of effort for everyone. Adobe should PAY at least a junior developer involved in the projects to monitor and help with these posts. FLEX rules yeah and thousands more do scripting than develop plug ins...
Come on Adobe, step up your better than this. Customer Service can be free to the customers ... we are not talking about GET IT ALL FREE, talking about buy it and create a community and support it, but then again LAYERS and INDESIGN SECRETS have people who actually want to help users rather than rabbit hole everything.
Please join hands and SING...

Urgent Help with Image Gallery

Hi,
I really need help with an image gallery i have created. Cannot think of a resolution
So....I have a dynamic image gallery that pulls the pics into a movie clip and adds them to the container (slider)
The issue i am having is that when i click on this i am essentially clicking on all the items collectively and i would like to be able to click on each image seperately...
Please see code below
var xml:XML;
var images:Array = new Array();
var totalImages:Number;
var nbDisplayed:Number = 1;
var imagesLoaded:int = 0;
var slideTo:Number = 0;
var imageWidth = 150;
var titles:Array = new Array();
var container_mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
slider_mc.addChild(container_mc);
container_mc.mask = slider_mc.mask_mc;
function loadXML(file:String):void{
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(file));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, parseXML);
function parseXML(e:Event):void{
xml = new XML(e.target.data);
totalImages = xml.children().length();
loadImages();
function loadImages():void{
for(var i:int = 0; i<totalImages; i++){
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("images/"+String(xml.children()[i].@brand)));
images.push(loader);
//      loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,onProgress);
     loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onComplete);
function onComplete(e:Event):void{
imagesLoaded++;
if(imagesLoaded == totalImages){
createImages();
function createImages():void{
for(var i:int = 0; i < images.length; i++){
var bm:Bitmap = new Bitmap();
bm = Bitmap(images[i].content);
bm.smoothing = true;
bm.x = i*170;
container_mc.addChild(bm);
      var caption:textfile=new textfile();
      caption.x=i*170; // fix text positions (x,y) here
   caption.y=96;
      caption.tf.text=(xml.children()[i].@brandname)
      container_mc.addChild(caption);

yes, sorry i do wish to click on individual images but dont know how to code that
as i mentioned i have 6 images that load into an array and then into a container and i think that maybe the problem is that i have the listener on the container so when i click on any image it gives the same results.
what i would like is have code thats says
if i click on image 1 then do this
if i click on image 2 then do something different
etc
hope that makes sense
thanks for you help!

Help with images.....pliiiizzzzzz

Im new to java and need help inserting images on a GUI! Does anyone have any programs or snippets of code that've done this successfully - preferrably using the GridBagLayout as well as in swing? If you have anything that works well, feel free to send me the entire java file ([email protected]) or just post it!

Just create a JLabel with an image icon and you are able to display any JPEG and GIF image. You might take a look at the following:

Hope this helps,

}I tried using JLabel() but I cant seem to make it work. Whenever i browse and select a .jpg it displays "��t��o\�[��+�p��B3�+�p��B3�"

In the future, Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
Whenever i browse and select a .jpg it displays "��t��o\�[��+�p��B3�+�p��B3�" You can read in a jpg file and treat it like a text file.

Help with Images Maps,

Hi,
I have an HTML page where an IMG is loaded:
<img src="images/renders/Main_Image.jpeg" alt="Main Image" name="Main_IMG" width="800" height="600" border="0" usemap="#Main_MAP" id="Main_IMG" />
Then I have 4 images maps laid on top of the image:
<map name="Main_MAP" id="Main_MAP">
<area shape="poly" coords="--some numbers--" href="Area1.html" target="_parent" alt="Area1 Button" />
<area shape="poly" coords="--some numbers--" href="Area2.html" target="_parent" alt="Area2 Button" />
<area shape="poly" coords="--some numbers--" href="Area3.html" target="_parent" alt="Area3 Button" />
<area shape="poly" coords="--some numbers" href="Area4.html" target="_parent" alt="Area4 Button"/>
</map>
See Example:
Each area is essentially an invisible button. I want to make it so when the mouse hovers over the areas, I want the background image to display something different. On mouse out of the area, I want the image to go back. When the user clicks the Area, the user is moved to another part of the site.
Area 1 should change Main_Image.jpeg to Main_Image1.jpeg
Area 2 should change Main_Image.jpeg to Main_Image2.jpeg
etc.
I thought I could do this with Images Maps, but I can't figure out how. Is there an easier way? I have Dreamweaver CS4.
Thank you in advance!

Hey CF. Thank you very much for the reply! I thought I was losing my mind trying to figure out a way.
I'll try out the slice and dice approach... where's a turtle when you need one.
Cheers Dude.

Help with image placement in new browser window.

I need help trying to position images that are being opened
in a new browser window. I have created a photo gallery with
thumbnails that are links to the larger image. Ive used the
behaviors panel to open the new image in a new browser window but
the image is always shown at the top left margins of the new
window. Is there a way to 1. center the image in the new window, 2.
change the background color of the new window that opens.
Any help would be appreciated.
Stu

If, as I read it, you are simply opening the image, it will
always be upper
left and cannot be changed. IF you wnat to position it, you
will need to
create a new html page and position your image on that page,
then call the
page, not the image from your thumbnail link.
In Dreamweaver in the command menu try the "Create Web Photo
Album" command.
It will create all of your pages, links and thumbnails for
you. (requires
Fireworks)

Urgent - need help, Powerpoint images require quicktime???

Hi guys, I'm a lecturer and I prepared a powerpoint on my G5 to show to students last week. the text loads on the Dell PC they have in the classroom, but the images come up with a message "requires Quicktime and a decompressor". As far as I know these are just jpg files which I downloaded from google images as jpega. I then opened the jpgs in Preview and copied and pasted them into the Powerpoint slides.
what's requiring Quicktime here? How can I get around this e.g. by using "insert" for the picture and then clicking the picture to insert? More important how will I know that the umages have loaded as simple jpgs and won't continue to require Quicktime? I have to give a lecture on Monday and I need this Powerpoint to work!!!
thanks for any help

Help with image real size

Hi guys,
I have a person who says he send this picture to Press or Priting and they work ok. I am still a bit newbie in some of that stuff. Two questions
1) Which is the image real size in Kb? When I received in the email it says 80 Kb. When i open it in Photoshop it says 900 Kb. How come? Here is the picture in Finder>Get Info.
2) I wonder why this person says that picture is the one Ok for printing...when i open it in Photoshop it says 5x4 cm at 300 dpi. Am i wrong? What i am missing here? Could i use a resolution less than 300 dpi for Press and still print with acceptable quality? Here is the picture in Photoshop.
Thanks for any info and help!
Cheers,
S

but file size is an issue for any imagery used over the ether.
Smaller is better. The reason for this is speed.
One has to have some standard with which to measure resolution.
I think that I will use the Adobe standard of pixels/inch.
Shame on me (and Adobe) for not changing to suit this idealogical hair splitting.
You are confusing your “resolutions”. A great example of why the industry should describe ppi as “pixel density” instead of “resolution”.
Is a 1200 ppi file a low res file? One of my clients got his research paper rejected because of the “low quality” images he sent. “But they were 1200 ppi” he lamented! Yes they were 1200 ppi, but only 0.4 inches wide.
Is an advertisement made for a 48 foot wide bill board high res image? The required file is 5200 pixels by 1800 pixels, 30 MB size. But look: the dpi is only 9 pixel /per inch! That is way too low of resolution to submit.
My $2000 DSLR is produces images that are only 72ppi! That is web page resolution. Something is wrong with my camera. Should I return it?
Theses are all real examples, that I have personally dealt with, where people have incorrect concepts of resolution (how many pixels make up an image) verses pixel per inch resolution (that is, the metadata describing how dense the pixels will be when printed).
Now, it’s hard to fix stupid. But, yes, I do think a terminology change could go a long way in preventing some of this confusion.

http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=599393&messageID=3196643
However I am stuck mostly because of not really fully grasping all the objects and how they work yet.
Basically right now I have a JFrame and then I have a container which I put all my objects in.
First question:
What exactly does the following line of code do?
Container contentPane = getContentPane();
Does the "getContentPane()" method get the JFrame, since this is the class this line of code is embedded in?
It sets contentPane which is a container to the JFrame?
Second question...
So using the above link I created a class called BackgroundImage and it works ...sort of. I have two windows - one is my JFrame game and the other is this background frame.
Now I knew this would happen and I realize what I am supposed to do but I have been unsuccessful. Basically I need to make this JPanel my contentPane right?
But when I say something like
JPanel contentPane = panel my JFrame has nothing in it...
How do I take this seperate window and incorporate it into what I already have.
I want to use the contentPane variable since this is the variable where everything gets added throughout the code? I can't seem to get the JPanel to work.
Take a look at some code snippets:
public class DungMast extends JFrame
    /** Creates a new instance of EventPress */
    public DungMast() {
        Animation_Complete=false;
        Current_Level = 1;
        Level_Complete = false;
        CreateUserInterface();
        JPanel panel = new JPanel()
        protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
       // Dispaly image at at full size
     g.drawImage(img_BG.getImage(), 0, 0, null);
     // Scale image to size of component
//                    Dimension d = getSize();
//                    g.drawImage icon.getImage(), 0, 0, d.width, d.height, null);
                    // Fix the image position in the scroll pane
//                    Point p = scrollPane.getViewport().getViewPosition();
//                    g.drawImage(icon.getImage(), p.x, p.y, null);
                    super.paintComponent(g);
         panel.setOpaque( false );
         panel.setPreferredSize( new Dimension(400, 400) );
         scrollPane = new JScrollPane( panel );
         getContentPane().add( scrollPane );
         JButton button = new JButton( "Hello" );
         panel.add( button );
    } //end constructor for main JFrame
//Then I have something like
JPanel contentPane = panel;
}

What exactly does the following line of code do?
Container contentPane = getContentPane();
It gets the content pane for the JFrame and saves a reference to it for later use, viz,
the reference "contentPane" can be used to call methods in the Container class.
Lightweight (Swing) top–level containers have a content pane that holds the child
components for the parent container. See the comments section of the JRootPane class api
for a birds–eye view.

    private JPanel getContent(BufferedImage image) {

        // in the background.
        ContentPanel cp = new ContentPanel(image);
        // Add some components.
        cp.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
        GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
        gbc.weightx = 1.0;

    BufferedImage image;
    public ContentPanel(BufferedImage image) {
        this.image = image;
        // This is required for JComponents that are used

        int w = getWidth();

Help with image analysis Photoshop CS4 Extended

Hi there - I recently went to the Birmingham NEC photo expo and saw a guy there giving a CS4 extended demo. He showed how at the click of a button a folder of new photos were reduced to a smaller bunch of just the most tack-sharp ones. I can't find out how to do this with my CS4 Extended - can anyone help - or am I just imagining it all :-)))

Sounds interesting.
Did he do that in Photoshop itself or Bridge or Lightroom?
Anyway, I suspect one could maybe achieve something like this in Photoshop with some fairly heavy Scripting, but I suspect the Script would have to actually open the images for analysis …

Urgent- Please help with image overlaying

Hi,
Please,please, can someone help me with an imaging issue and show me what I'm doing wrong.
I'm a swing beginner and I'm trying to create a application for a board game. Currently I'm using JLabel components to try and create jpeg pieces over a JPanel component that has the board background.
Currently I've written the code for the board background component and the pieces but can't get the image to appear on the background.
Please can someone show me what I'm doing wrong.
If someone can help me get this working, I've got 16 dollars from other posts in this forum I can give you.
Thanks.
public class BoardPanel extends JPanel {
public BoardPanel()
//Overwrite abstract painting method
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
super.paintComponent(g);
          g.drawImage(backgroundImage,0,0,this.getWidth(), this.getHeight(), null);
private Image backgroundImage = new ImageIcon("./Board.gif").getImage();
public class PieceIcon extends JLabel {
public PieceIcon(String symbol)
System.out.println("./"+symbol+".jpg");
          pieceImage = new ImageIcon("./"+symbol+".jpg");
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
          super.paintComponent(g);
          g.drawImage(pieceImage,playerBoardPos.getX(),playerBoardPos.getY(), this);
private Image pieceImage;
Main:
JPanel content = new JPanel();
PieceIcon testPiece = new PieceIcon("Dog");
BoardPanel boardIcon = new BoardPanel();
getContentPane().add(content, java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);
content.add(boardIcon, java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);
boardIcon.setLayout(new javax.swing.OverlayLayout(boardIcon));
boardIcon.add(testPiece);

Oh, and since you probably won't be needing a layout manager, try the following:
setLayout(null);
ChessPeice peice1 = new ChessPeice(...);
add(peice1);
peice1.setBounds(x, y, width, height);also, your ChessPeice paintComponent method should look more like:
... //in constructor
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(image.width, image.height));
setOpaque(false);
public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
   g.drawImage(...);
}Make sure that if you call the component's getSize method to determine the width and height you do it after pack has been called. If you call getSize before then, it will return 0 for the width and height values.
Another advantage to this approach is that the peices only draw in the areas they need to.
Hope this helps.

Need help with Image Gallery tutorial.

Hi all,
No response from Apex Listener Forum...moved here....
Apex Listener - 2.0.2.133.14.47
Apex - 4.2.2.00.11
When running Image Gallery application as per tutorial, page just show a blank screen with no image upload button.
Am using Firefox 22.0 and Chrome 28.0.1500.72.
Firebug does not display any script error.
Had recreated tutorial on apex.oracle.com with same result as above.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=4550:1:::::F4550_P1_COMPANY:HANAMIKE
Workspace: HANAMIKE
Username: [email protected]
Password: yesla
Using username= resteasy_admin, Password=resteasy_admin to run on apex.oracle.com.
Had modified tutorial JS below :
var workspace_path_prefix = 'resteasy'; => var workspace_path_prefix = 'hanamike';
Another odd problem was when trying out the RESTFUL service as per tutorial when clicking the 'TEST' button, encountered error 404.
Problem due to extra workspace name in URL as below:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/hanamike/hanamike/gallery/images/
Had to manually modify it to:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/hanamike/gallery/images/
Notice that the Listener version on apex.oracle.com is:
APEX_LISTENER_VERSION
2.0.3.165.10.09
Thanks in advance.

Hi Zack,
Thanks for providing the login credentials to your workspace. I took a look at your RESTful Service and associated application, and noticed that there was something missing - the "Upload Image" button! So it looks like the 'Create the Gallery Application' section is missing a step to create a HTML region, with region template "Button Region without Title", and with its region source set to the following:
<a class="button" id="upload-btn">Upload Image</a>
You'll see in the JS that there's a reference to #upload-btn, but no such object existed on your page. I created a copy of your app, which includes this new HTML region, and you'll see that I've uploaded an image as a demo. I've contacted the APEX Listener team re the missing instruction, so that will hopefully be rectified in the next release. Apologies for the confusion, but hopefully you're back on track now. As for the behaviour you've noticed with the URL generated by the 'Test' utility, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I'll do some further investigation there, and log a bug if required.
Regards,
Hilary
