Help with placing images - why do they appear at 150% and look bad?

Hi there,
Relative newbie here.
I have my display performace in InDesign set to high. Whether I 'place' an image or simply drag it onto the page, and regardless of what image file format I use (tif, png, jpg, whatever), when placed, the images appear about 50% bigger than the source, and low-ish quality. I'm forced then to try to resize them manually so they look good on-screen and when printed.
Why when I place images do they not appear at 100%?
Is there a way to resize images other than grabbing the re-size handles and hoping for the best?
Many thanks.

OK, if the scale says 100% with the direct select tool, that's what you have. Note that using the regular select tool (the black arrow) will ALWAYS show 100% in the scale fields unless you have set your prefs to "adjust scaling percentage," so that's why you use the direct select tool to check. You can also selct the image with either tool and look at the Info Palette. at 100% the actual and effective ppi listed will be the same. What resolution is currently listed in the Info Palette?
I asked about click vs, click and drag because in CS4 when you drag a frame it always scales the image to fit. This is not true in CS3.
Screen captures are typically 72 ppi at the size they are captured. 72 ppi is low for most print work, but for screen captures nobody really expects much in terms of quality. You really are placing, right, not dragging from Photoshop into ID, which is the equivalent of pasting? Pasting an image gives you only the screen preview in CS3. I'm not sure you'd see a difference with a screen grab, though, since the preview would also be 72 ppi.
If the image is really too large on the page you can scale in ID by holding the Ctrl + Shift keys while dragging a handle. You must press the keys before clicking the mouse in Windows becasue there is a bug. You can also use the Scale tool, or enter a new scale value in the scaling fields. You can use actual dimensions in those fields if you include the units, by the way.
In Photoshop you can scale the image using Image > Image Size... If you uncheck the "resample image" box the resolutiuon will change in inverse proportion to the size, so reducing the size will increase the resolution, but there will be no differnce in quality over scaling in ID.

Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver? The same images look fine in Preview and Finder. Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

The desktop image is fine, taken from the exact same pool of jpg photos. However, as soon as the slide show screen saver comes on, the images are scrambled. What is it about the apple screen saver algorithm that scrambles the pics?

Last night suddenly when I right-click-view-images in firefox, they appear centered and against a black background. It's usually meant to be a white background and the image appearing at top left. How to revert it?

I'm having trouble with something in firefox, it's quite minor but still bugs me. Last night suddenly when I right-click-view-images in firefox, they appear centered and against a black background. It's usually meant to be a white background and the image appearing at top left. I can't remember what I did to change this if it's my fault; if someone knows how to revert it I'd be thankful.

cor-el : thanks for the pointers! I wish the solution isn't an add-on every time ... if such long-standing behaviour is going to change, the least that could be done is put in an about:config option to get back the old behaviour.

Quickbook contacts use to sync with Mobileme. Why do they not sync with Icloud

MobileMe used SyncServices, part of the System, to sync contacts. iCloud uses a different protocol and evidently Quickbooks can't work with this.

Double-click the white Adobe Reader Icon to open a new windows.
Double-Click the "Adobe Reader X Installer.pkg" file inside.
If it has already been installed it will notify you and say that it has been installed already.
If you no longer have those files go here to get the latest version of Adobe Reader.
http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Let me know how that all goes and if you have any hang ups.
ON TO THE NEXT POINT OF INTEREST
It sounds to me from researching the other white 'icon' you have that you are trying to install a copier by the brand of Rico Aficio.
Possibly the Aficio 2090/2105.
If so the install CD/Driver download for that copier must have also wanted you to install Adobe Reader to view the User Guides/ Documentation included.
If you are trying to install said device then double click the white icon labeled Ricoh_Aficio...double click the installer file inside of that.
It should run a setup/install window like Adobe Reader did then go from there. If it has already been install also you can go to your System Preferences -> Printers to see if it installed correctly and is working properly.
You can get to system preferences by clicking the Apple icon very upper left on your screen and selecting it from the drop down.

Hello RumDog,
I think this article will help you find the media in your library.
Where are my iTunes files located?

Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location
Note: You would usually only change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer. See this article for specific steps on how to accomplish this. Also, see this article if you want to know how to move your music to a new computer.
Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
You can then:
Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."

Help with adding image onclick

Hey everyone,
I am making a simple game in AS3 and need help with adding an image once they have click on something.
On the left of the screen are sentences and on the right an image of a form. When they click each sentence on the left, writing appears on the form. Its very simple. With this said, what I would like to do is once the user click one of the sentences on the left, I would like a checkmark image to appear over the sentence so they know they have already clicked on it.
How would I go about adding this to my code?
var fields:Array = new Array();
one_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick1a);
one_btn.buttonMode = true;
function onClick1a(event:MouseEvent):void
    fields.push(new one_form());
    fields[fields.length-1].x = 141;
    fields[fields.length-1].y = -85;
    this.addChild(fields[fields.length-1]);
    one_btn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick1a);
    one_btn.buttonMode = false;
    //gotoAndStop("one")
two_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick2a);
two_btn.buttonMode = true;
function onClick2a(event:MouseEvent):void
    fields.push(new two_form());
    fields[fields.length-1].x = 343.25;
    fields[fields.length-1].y = -85;
    this.addChild(fields[fields.length-1]);
    two_btn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick2a);
    two_btn.buttonMode = false;
    //gotoAndStop("two")

I don't know where you're positioning the button that should enable/disable the checkbox but for "one_btn" let's just say it's at position: x=100, y=200. Say you'd want the checkbox to be to the left of it, so the checkbox would be displayed at: x=50, y=200. Also say you have a checkbox graphic in your library, exported for actionscript with the name "CheckBoxGraphic".
Using your code with some sprinkles:
// I'd turn this into a sprite but we'll use the default, MovieClip
var _checkBox:MovieClip = new CheckBoxGraphic();
// add to display list but hide
_checkBox.visible = false;
// just for optimization
_checkBox.mouseEnabled = false;
_checkBox.cacheAsBitmap = true;
// adding it early so make sure the forms loaded don't overlap the
// checkbox or it will cover it, otherwise swapping of depths is needed
addChild(_checkBox);
// I'll use a flag (a reference for this) to know what button is currently pushed
var _currentButton:Object;
one_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick1a);
one_btn.buttonMode = true;
function onClick1a(event:MouseEvent):void
     // Check if this button is currently the pressed button
     if (_currentButton == one_btn)
          // disable checkbox, remove form
          _checkBox.visible = false;
          // form should be last added to fields array, remove
          removeChild(fields[fields.length - 1]);
          fields.pop();
          // clear any reference to this button
          _currentButton = null;
     else
          // enable checkbox
          _checkBox.visible = true;
          _checkBox.x = 50;
          _checkBox.y = 200;
          // add form
          fields.push(new one_form());
          fields[fields.length-1].x = 141;
          fields[fields.length-1].y = -85;
          this.addChild(fields[fields.length-1]);
          // save this button as last clicked
          _currentButton = one_btn;
     // not sure what this is
    //gotoAndStop("one")
I'd also centralize all the click handlers into a single handler and use the buttons name to branch on what to do, but that's a different discussion. Just see if this makes sense to you.
The jist is a graphic of a checkbox that is a MovieClip symbol in your library exported to actionscript with the class name CheckBoxGraphic() is created and added to the display list.
I made a variable that points itself to the last clicked button, when the "on" state is desired. If I detect the last clicked button was this button, I remove the form I added and the checkbox. If the last clicked button is not this button, I enable and position the checkbox as well as add the form.
What is left to do is handle the sitation where multiple buttons are on the screen. When a new button is pushed it should remove anything the previous button added. This code simply demonstrates clicking the same button multiple times to toggle it "on and off".

Server goes out of memory when annotating TIFF File. Help with Tiled Images

I am new to JAI and have a problem with the system going out of memory
Objective:
1)Load up a TIFF file (each approx 5- 8 MB when compressed with CCITT.6 compression)
2)Annotate image (consider it as a simple drawString with the Graphics2D object of the RenderedImage)
3)Send it to the servlet outputStream
Problem:
Server goes out of memory when 5 threads try to access it concurrently
Runtime conditions:
VM param set to -Xmx1024m
Observation
Writing the files takes a lot of time when compared to reading the files
Some more information
1)I need to do the annotating at a pre-defined specific positions on the images(ex: in the first quadrant, or may be in the second quadrant).
2)I know that using the TiledImage class its possible to load up a portion of the image and process it.
Things I need help with:
I do not know how to send the whole file back to servlet output stream after annotating a tile of the image.
If write the tiled image back to a file, or to the outputstream, it gives me only the portion of the tile I read in and watermarked, not the whole image file
I have attached the code I use when I load up the whole image
Could somebody please help with the TiledImage solution?
Thx

U are right, SGA is too large for my server.
I guess oracle set SGA automaticlly while i choose default installion , but ,why SGA would be so big? Is oracle not smart enough ?Default database configuration is going to reserve 40% of physical memory for SGA for an instance, which you as a user can always change. I don't see anything wrong with that to say Oracle is not smart.
If i don't disincrease SGA, but increase max-shm-memory, would it work?This needs support from the CPU architecture (32 bit or 64 bit) and the kernel as well. Read more about the huge pages.

Help with removing images from Google image searches with Dreamweaver

I made a sight in dreamweaver, and need to remove a page from that website with some old images. So I removed the link and moved the webpage from the root folder. And If I go into dreamweaver the page is blank showing the image has been removed.
But the images are still showing up in google image searches even though I removed them in dreamweaver and re-uploaded the sight successfully. How do I remove them form the internet completely so they no longer show up in google images??

Help with partial image loss from Viewer to Canvas

Hi--I'm brand new to FCP and would really appreciate any help with my problem. I'm creating 2 second video clips composed of four still images (15 frames...or 500ms each) laid back to back, then rendered. Very simple, I know. The individual images are tiff files that look great in the FCP Viewer. But in the Canvas, part of the image is missing. Specifically, in the center of each image there should be a + sign, about 1cm square. This + should remain constant thoughout the short movie, while the items around it vary (from image to image). (This is a psychology experiment, and the center + is a fixation cross.) The problem is that in the Viewer the + sign is intact, but in the Canvas (and the resulting rendered video), only the vertical bar of the + is present! This is true for every individual tiff, and for the resulting movie. The items around the fixation cross are fine. My question is WHY on earth does the central horizontal bar get "lost" between the Viewer and the Canvas? I've read the manuals, but obviously I've got something set wrong. Also, there is a considerable overall reduction in quality between the viewer and canvas, even though I'm trying my best to maximize video quality. Everything looks a bit blurry. Truly, all ideas are welcome. Sorry if it's obvious. Thanks.

steve, i'm viewing on my 23" cinema screen. i read up on quality and know that this is a no-no; that i should only judge quality when viewing on an ntsc monitor or good tv. the problem is that i'll ultimately be displaying these videos on my Dell LCD, so i've got to maximize what i've got. thanks to the discussion boards i have a short list of things to try now. thanks!

Seeking Help with Album Image Issues in iPod Classic

Hi folks -
I have a new 160 iPod Classic and have two album image-related issues I'd appreciate some help with.
In the case of several albums where I'd associated my own art with them in iTunes, the formatting appeared off in my iPod due to the vertical/horizontal proportions. So I corrected the images, replaced the images via iTunes, and re-synced. All of the old images were replaced - except for two. Is there any way to get my iPod to recognize the change to these two images, as it did for all the others?
Secondly, my "The Allman Brothers Band Live at Fillmore East" album was appearing twice in both the Cover Flow and Album list. That was strange, except that after the latest sync it now appears six times! It's only in one place in iTunes, and not erroneously set as a compilation or anything. This is the only album displaying this behavior...
Thanks for any suggestions or advice!

Photoshop saves images darker than they appear in-program

I am using Photoshop CS6 64-bit version, and I also had this problem with the previous Photoshop CS5 (64-bit aswell). (Windows 7 64-bit)
I've had this problem for a very long time and I've been looking for answers for tons of times however this time around I really want it fixed because it is very annoying.
Whenever I save most images that I've edited or created in Photoshop, they get saved as darker than they are in the program;
It shouldn't be a monitor problem. I have two monitors and it occurs on both. When I save the image and open it on the same monitor for comparison, it is darker than it was in photoshop.
If I use a screen-cap tool like Gyazo directly in photoshop to upload a screenshot of the image to the web, it appears just as light as it should (I am not sure if it's 100% as light as it should, however it's definitely way better and lighter than saving the image then uploading it).
Here's a comparison. On the left it is the wallpaper opened in Photoshop. On the right side I have the image saved as a .PNG and shown using the default Windows Photo Viewer:
http://i.gyazo.com/02f434cce077a672e0169f7c2875b3ef.png
You can see that there is a clear difference, and that it's way darker than it should be. It pretty much ruins the image in this case due to how dark it gets.
(Yes, I've tried saving a very wide range of image filetypes with no success)
Continuing on the monitor/screen-cap part above... So logically there should be some issues with the actual saving of the image in Photoshop. Am I using sRGB? Yes. I have checked all the settings in the color settings countless times to make sure it's right. I also tried playing a bit around with them to no avail. Here is a picture of my color settings (Ctrl+Shift+K): http://i.gyazo.com/b3f993b61e2e9c701d0820886670da36.png
I have both tried to reset my settings and re-installed Photoshop. As I also said I've had this problem with an earlier version of Photoshop aswell. I have tried to convert color profiles before I save the image and I've made sure it's saved using sRGB.
I'm convinced Photoshop is saving the image wrongly or something due to the screen-cap case.
If anyone has any leads on how to go about fixing this then please speak out. If you require any more information about my hardware/software or what I've tried, just ask.
Thanks!

This has nothing to do with Photoshop. The problem is that Windows Photo Viewer displays the image incorrectly. Apparently it's choking on the display profile, while Photoshop manages to work with it.
Both applications are fully color managed and should display identically. If they don't the problem is nearly always the display profile.
Try to set sRGB as default display profile in Windows. If the difference disappears you know you have a bad profile and need to replace it. If you don't have a calibrator to make a new profile, just use sRGB for now. Manufacturer-supplied profiles are notoriously defective in any number of ways and should be avoided.
