Holding SHIFT to resize image in PROPORTION not working - InDesign CC

Hello,
I am putting a portfolio together containing a ton of images.
I constantly use the SHIFT to resize images in proportion constantly, but it is not work.  It resizes randomly wherever my curser goes.
It works in Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC
I have uninstalled InDesign (uninstalled preferences too), then re-installed with no result.
Using the Scale tool (by pressing S) still does not work
I have been using the manual SCALE with percentages or using the "fit content proportionally" buttons on the toolbar, which is killing my workflow, as I need fine grain control
I may have typed something out while thinking I was in a text box, when I was not.  This may have turned on or turned off the feature.  I'm not sure how to bring it back now.
Any help would be appreciated
Casey

Which tool are you using, and which platform?
I use the selection tool, myself, and for that you need to press BOTH Ctrl (PC)/Cmd (Mac) and Shift before dragging to scale proportionally. On windows you must press the keys before clicking the mouse.
How did you replace the preferences? Directions to do it properly are at Replace Your Preferences

  • Resizing image using CSS - not working in IE

    Hello,
    I have a standard report with couple of columns one of which a image column. The images are of varying sizes and I manged to resize them to a fixed width & height by using CSS code in page header as below:
    td[headers="ITEM_PICTURE"] img {
      display: block;
      width: 70px;
      border: 1px solid #999;
      padding: 4px;
      background: #f6f6f6;
    }The CSS does the trick in Chrome & Firefox but does not work in internet explorer. Is there a way to make this CSS code IE friendly?
    Cheers for help.

    I am using Apex 4.2.1 (had this issue in 4.1.1 as well) and using theme 10.Ah, the Sludge Sand theme. In 4.x that's a legacy theme only really included to allow applications to run on IE6. It's therefore intended to run in quirks mode, meaning in Internet Explorer terms there's no support for anything that didn't work in IE6 (for certain values of "work"). This means no CSS3, no support for a lot of useful CSS2.1 stuff (like attribute selectors), and probably problems with jQuery which requires standards mode. Adding a DOCTYPE to the page templates to trigger standards mode Interactive Report: how can I display carriage returns?. In 4.2 you really should switch to one of the latest Standard themes, or at least one of the standards mode Legacy themes (those not marked with a "*").
    If you must use theme 10, and there are no other images in this report (like edit icons) then you could add a static ID to the region and use a more basic selector like:
    #static-id td.t10data img {
      display: block;
      width: 70px;
      border: 1px solid #999;
      padding: 4px;
      background: #f6f6f6;
    }However, it appears that one of IE's quirkier quirks mode quirks is that CSS padding is not supported on images, so the presentation you want is not possible using theme 10 in IE and CSS alone.
    Switching to a modern theme is recommended.

  • Resizing images within Mail not working in Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard on both my desktop (iMAC Quad Core) and my MacBook Pro. I'm now experiencing an issue when I attach images within the Mail application.
    In the past, if I attached an image I could resize it by selecting the option at the lower right of the window and it would scale the image accordingly. Now if I select "large" it resizes the image as if I selected small. It's tiny, like 30KB. I tried it on both machines and I get the same thing.
    This was never an issue before upgrading to Snow Leopard. In the past if I selected "large" it would scale my image down to roughly 4X6 300dpi.
    Has anyone else found a fix for this issue?
    Thanks so much!
    Michael

    Hi Terence,
    thanks for your reply.
    But i have now a Problem!
    iPhoto 09 itself can send max. 10 pics in one mail. When i drag & drop more photos to mail as attachement, mail can´t resize photos with greater than 150dpi correctly.
    I have many photos greater than 150 dpi
    With new iPhoto 09 i can not send:
    1. more than 10 photos
    2. without "zipping"
    with mail i can send more than 10 photos at one time but i cant resize these images!
    Allso whe i use this way:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2627690&tstart=0
    The only way to send more than 10 photos with resizing the images is:
    1. export these photos from iphoto to a folder with resizing function
    2. drag or attach these photos to a mail
    3. send mail
    4. delete the created folder with images
    5. empty trash
    iPhoto 8 can send many photos at one time including resizing and display the estimated size of mail (e.g. Megabytes).

  • After upgrading to Lion Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software.  Gives error 9931.  What gives?

    After upgrading to Lion, Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software.  Gives error 9931.  What gives?

    Ouch, if it is indeed damaged, then sadly you need to restore the whole danged huge OS!
    Didn't used to be this way before Lion/10.7.
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • Image drag drop not working in scaffholding. Does it require soem setting?

    image drag drop not working in scaffholding. Does it require soem setting?

    Hello Manoj,
    The scaffolding teamplate which you use to create scaffolding page is actually a design prototype which helps you to create similar types of pages instances very quickly without authoring each page separately (for example news, aticle types of pages) and that is the concept of scaffolding only.
    For example - When you go to location http://localhost:4502/miscadmin#/etc/scaffolding/geometrixx you will see a "News" page which is an example of scaffolding (this is a similar page which you can create using scaffolding template).
    Now if you open this page you will be accessing http://localhost:4502/cf#/etc/scaffolding/geometrixx/news.html and here you will see already design page.
         1. if you access page properties from side kick you will see how this page is configured using target template and target path
         2. if you go to design mode using side kick you will see how the component has been design (which is similar to what appears on page when you came first time)
         3. Now come back to normal view of that page (http://localhost:4502/cf#/etc/scaffolding/geometrixx/news.html) and author this page with some dummy property and click on "create" button. I know here you can not author the image as it comes as disabled empty box.
         4. once you author the content and click on create button it will create an instance of scaffolding page on the same page you can see the link on the top of same page.
         5. Now access that page, when you access that page the page will take reference of target template you configured using pare preoperties to display the page.
         6. On this page you will see the same component you configured and when you will edit it you can author the image from there directly.
    Now question is why to configure same component two times half data from scaffolding and half data from page but answer is the design is correct because the page design which you have created (for example http://localhost:4502/cf#/etc/scaffolding/geometrixx/news.html) is just proto type to create actual page instances and prototype can not holds values for page instance (specially image until it doesnt configured correctly for page instance in this case) which exist only when you create pages using the scaffolding page prototype. Otherwise you have to do more customization by extending scaffolding "/libs/wcm/scaffolding" changing the code and design OR you have to design it according to your target page strtucture which you have configured in page properties (specially image node).
    If you want to create your own page prototype using scaffolding template and want image to associate just copy paste "/etc/scaffolding/geometrixx/news/jcr:content/dialog/items/items/tab2" node to your newly created scaffolding page prototype.
    for more information on scaffolding just refer -http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/wcm/scaffolding.html
    I hope it clarifies your question and help you to proceed. Let me know if you need more information or help.
    Thanks,

  • Hello, I am trying to upgrade to yosemite, but I get the "disk cannot be used to startup your computer" error. Resizing the partition does not work, I get the error "MediaKit reports no such partition" probably because I installed linux in dual boot

    Hello, I am trying to upgrade my macbook pro to yosemite, but I get the "disk cannot be used to startup your computer" error.
    Resizing the partition does not work for me and I get the error "MediaKit reports no such partition" probably because I installed linux in dual boot and the disk manager is lost.
    Anyway to tell the yosemite installer that it should not pay attention whether the disk is bootable or not ?
    If I am doomed, any way to delete the installer and downloaded OS from my hard drive ?
    Thanks for your help

    As usual, the Linux installer wrecked the partition table. You would have to boot from your OS X installation disc and repartition. Doing so will of course remove all data from the drive, so you must back up first if you haven't already done so.

  • Resized animated gif ImageIcon not working properly with JButton etc.

    The problem is that when I resize an ImageIcon representing an animated gif and place it on a Jbutton, JToggelButton or JLabel, in some cases the image does not show or does not animate. More precicely, depending on the specific image file, the image shows always, most of the time or sometimes. Images which are susceptible to not showing often do not animate when showing. Moving over or clicking with the mouse on the AbstractButton instance while the frame is supposed to updated causes the image to disappear (even when viewing the non-animating image that sometimes appears). No errors are thrown.
    Here some example code: (compiled with Java 6.0 compliance)
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Test
         public static void main(String[] args)
              new Test();
         static final int  IMAGES        = 3;
         JButton[]           buttons       = new JButton[IMAGES];
         JButton             toggleButton  = new JButton("Toggle scaling");
         boolean            doScale       = true;
         public Test()
              JFrame f = new JFrame();
              f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
              JPanel p = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1, IMAGES));
              for (int i = 0; i < IMAGES; i++)
                   p.add(this.buttons[i] = new JButton());
              f.add(p, BorderLayout.CENTER);
              f.add(this.toggleButton, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
              this.toggleButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
                   @Override
                   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                        Test.this.refresh();
              f.setSize(600, 300);
              f.setVisible(true);
              this.refresh();
         public void refresh()
              this.doScale = !this.doScale;
              for (int i = 0; i < IMAGES; i++)
                   ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon(i + ".gif");
                   if (this.doScale)
                        image = new ImageIcon(image.getImage().getScaledInstance(180, 180, Image.SCALE_AREA_AVERAGING));
                   image.setImageObserver(this.buttons);
                   this.buttons[i].setIcon(image);
                   this.buttons[i].setSelectedIcon(image);
                   this.buttons[i].setDisabledIcon(image);
                   this.buttons[i].setDisabledSelectedIcon(image);

    Download the gif images here:
    http://djmadz.com/zombie/0.gif
    http://djmadz.com/zombie/1.gif
    http://djmadz.com/zombie/2.gif
    When you press the "Toggle scaling"button it switches between unresized (properly working) and resized instances of three of my gif images. Notice that the left image almost never appears, the middle image always, and the right image most of the time. The right image seems to (almost) never animate. When you click on the left image (when visble) it disappears only when the backend is updating the animation (between those two frames with a long delay)
    Why are the original ImageIcon and the resized ImageIcon behaving differently? Are they differently organized internally?
    Is there any chance my way of resizing might be wrong?

    It does work, however I refuse to use SCALE_REPLICATE for my application because resizing images is butt ugly, whether scaling up or down. Could there be a clue in the rescaling implementations, which I can override?
    Maybe is there a way that I can check if an image is a multi-frame animation and set the scaling algorithm accordingly?

  • Image Processor does not work correctly

    Two problems and one suggestion here:
    1. When using the Image Processor Script to resize images only the first image in a folder will get resized correctly. Subsequent files just get coppied at their original size.
    2. The script ignores the width setting and adjusts based on height.
    Additionally, it would seem to me like a Percentage selection and/or a Maintain Aspect Ratio selector would be a huge help.

    Hi there,
    the images I wanted to process were initially located on an external hard drive that had 10GB left. I then moved the file onto my laptop, which has about 160GB free space, but that didn't solve the problem. I have tried the same task with just 2 images, and get the same response. I am not sure what you mean by 'complete path', but the folder is just a normal folder with camera RAW FILES (CR2). However, I have tried to convert a TIFF to JPEG too via image processor and that hasn't worked either?

  • ADD FILES FOR UPLOAD - IMAGE PATHS DO NOT WORK IN WIDGETS

    Hi There
    I'm trying to add my own images to a widget I bought from Qooqee - the Wrapper_v2 image slider. But when I try to add my own images with the image path it doesn't work. I've tried adding the image with 'Add Files for Upload' - and then using the full path which I get from right clicking on it in the assets panel - but it still doesn't work.
    Most of the widgets require you to either specify the image path, or an external URL. I do not want to use a third party image hosting site to get URL's for every image I want to use on the site - so I just need to know what I'm doing wrong with the Add files for Upload - why do my file paths not work in the widgets?

  • Copy Settings to multiple images - STILL A NOT WORKING AFTER MANY VERSIONS!

    I have reported the problem of pasting settings to multiple images for many versions and this simple bug is STILL present in LR4!
    In develop module, make changes to an image, click Copy button, select settings to copy.
    Now, select a range or a number of images to which you want to paste the settings, click Paste button.  Guess what?  Only the first image gets the settings!
    This functionality should work and is even documented in the manual.  There are other ways of copying settings but I can never remember how to do this.
    Am I doing something wrong or is this a genuine bug that only seems to affect a few people (I did a web search for V3), or do people just not use this function?
    Please developers, fix this bug if it really is a bug!

    Thanks Dorin for the information.
    I guess I am just frustrated that the program does not work the way it is documented.  There are two very prominent buttons, Copy & Paste and they don't work as documented or as you would expect them to.
    With sync you have to navigate menus to do what one click of the mouse should accomplish.  All I want is some acknowledgement from Adobe that this is a bug and for it to be adressed.  As a long-time IT person I know this would be VERY easy to fix.  If it cannot be fixed then update the documentation.
    Oh well, enough said.  I still love LR!!!
